Actually, evidently people who are really good at it have a facility
with it that is like a siddhi. With a lot of experience with it study
of it becomes something intuitive. It is like a way [modality] of
thinking, like some people are really good at mathematics or open to
physics.

Yep, a good perspective to have, though I think modern life and
technology has rendered any forecasting ability of jyotish or Western
astrology, impractical. Using common sense and intuition, we get it
right more often than not. And if not, better next time around. PS No
problems discussing or communicating anything today...

Putting skepticism aside it seems way more interesting to entertain
these ideas of jyotish. While more strictly experienced as a
conservative transcendental meditationist who is not as interested in
all the ‘add-ons’ of Maharishi’s teachings I do feel open to the
consideration that jyotish astrology could describe an astrophysics of
vibrational influence of the heavenly bodies on subtle systems of the
human being. From that viewpoint we be talking of spirituality and
then the possible ability to influence and even cultivate well-being
around the motions of the planets and such. There are stranger things
in Heaven and Earth. Are there no tides? -JaiGuruYou

Doug,
Regardless of what one thinks of jyotish/MMY, or (God help us), ideas
arising from a Fairfield coffee house discussion group, your message
below is contrary to MMY's guidelines regarding the "right use" (MMY's
words) of jyotish.

Thanks, but your post just now, at close to the speed of light, spread
globally and instantaneously, confirms, "Havoc in Communication"??By
focusing on the objective, whatever it is, any environmental
influences are minimized, so if there is an issue, isn't it with the
doer? Maharishi declared 1978 as the year of invincibility, our
unshakable nature. Though a sensitivity to all areas of life is a good
thing, to predict difficulties as a result of the stars is a waste of
time. Great coffeehouse chat, but nothing to take seriously.

So says the coffee house Fairfield jyotish satsang.
Would be a difficult day to substantially engage others
or begin things,
however; a good day to stay in meditation.

Fairfield, Iowa Meditators start very early everyday with their
spiritual practice.
Also, the Dome doors open for the collective meditation at 7am.

Haven't noticed anything different through this period, except that I
have been a little more successful than usual in my day to day. A
couple of friends have had unusually positive events occur during this
time. Everyone seems perfectly friendly and happy. No undue stress or
tension. Perhaps the astrologers got it wrong. :-)

Fabulous drama unfolding in the sky..
Clear sky last night in Fairfield, Iowa. Before the moon rose one
could see it
with naked eye and even clearer with binoculars.
Mars is approaching Antares in Scorpio ! One can see it !
Google’s free app, Sky Map on a smartphone can get you oriented for
the show.
Aug 24 Saturn and Mars @ 15degrees of Scorpio, Transit characterized
by ANGER. There is a star in Scorpio that is the war star in
combination with Mars etc.. makes it all particularly difficult.
August 23-26 will be extremely violent with Mars transiting the fixed
star Antares.
Aug 30 Mercury retrograde in Virgo =Havoc in Communication
Sept 1st Solar Eclipse
Around September 13 (the 12th?) it will be treacherous and very
violent againdue to transiting Saturn’s return to the degree of the
fixed star Antares.
As Jr points out,
the good news is that..Sept 17 Mars Exits Scorpio, the most
difficult period passes

I agree. I am not worried so much about this jyotish line of
thinking. But just as a transcendentalist knowing the
transformational spiritual possibility and just looking at the level
of spiritual commotion in the world it is breath taking at times
That these planets are conjoined may be coincident to the turbulence
of these postmodern times. I am enjoying watching the planetary play
out on my smartphone free app from Google, Sky Map. What I was
interested to learn was just what the jyotish people are all wonked
out on and compelled by.

Thank you, but I also have to wonder if similar planetary combinations
have happened in the past? If they have, I haven't noticed any time in
my life where events were actually insurmountable, or that I felt the
need to spontaneously act in a certain way, to counteract a heavenly
alignment I had no idea existed at the time.
I do find some remarkable trends in the general area of people's
personalities, including mine, correlated to birth time, day, month,
and year. As far as a predictive tool, though, who needs it? How does
it avoid or prevent or modify or enhance, just making one's way
through life? Isn't that rich and complex enough as it is? :-)
Intuition and flexibility can go a long way towards an easier way in
life, without adding this extra layer of concern.
signed,
what's up wid' Jyotish?

Yes, the Sept 1 Solar eclipse too. In combination with the coming Aug
30th Havoc in Communication difficulty of Merc being retrograde in
Scorpio, we should think about shutting FFL down for those days to
avert adding anymore to what might be the larger disturbing chaos in
communication of that time frame? This morning downtown I shared this
jyotish sequence with someone and it was directly suggested we close FFL.
..Of course some out there feel there is always a negative havoc in
communication being perpetrated all the time on FFL that should be
shut down. However, I am feeling the Yahoo-groups guidelines are
sufficiently invincible enough to protect us all from Mercury in
retrograde at that time. FFL, as it so often has seen the Meditating
community through in difficult times might just be one of the few
places to get reliable spiritual information on those days. -JaiGuruYou

I have never spent much time or money with jyotish as an ‘add-on’ to
TM but Fairfield, Iowa has quite a lot of people trained up in jyotish
and Western astrology. You can walk in most any eatery and ask
patrons sitting there to get a quick answer to, what is up in jyotish?
Some people are really into it. Yesterday I asked someone who was
working on something else, just what is up with jyotish?

Here is the shorthand accounting:
