Log 28: saturn Retrograde 2014 energies

I was supposed to write this post in my other Saturnine blog. But here I am blogging in karmic unravelling. Why? maybe because the period of Saturn Retrograde is a period for karmic unravelling for me. Already, I wrote in detail about Saturn retrograde 2014, here: saturn retro post : schedule: 4th-mar-21st-july But like last year's 72 posts on Saturn retrograde 2013, on this very blog, (click link: search label /topic category= Saturn Retro 2013) I think I'll blog in this blog only. 

Check the graph above, the first sub phase, two weeks RED of, phase Yellow Coloured "increasing Retro" phase till 18th Feb, Tuesday is the most intense energy of Saturn retrograde, it's maximum change percentage wise, in  daily velocity increase. Hence the maximum acceleration. And hence maximum Force of retrograde energy experienced. The physics of astrological calculations. Hence for all Saturnine people it's time to introspect, retrospect, chill, muse. Drown as much possible in stillness, inertia, quietude. Here's the period for maximum Potential energy accumulation. So later when Saturn moves forward, we can go kinetic, and move forward too. 

This is when this blog got named too into Karmic Unraveling, two days back. Saturn retrograde is a highly karmic period for me, especially the first four weeks. A good time for pulling back as much as possible and most introspective karmic unraveling. "cheers" to that..

Log 27: bizzare multilayered events

I had always wanted to blog fast. Put down thoughts without thinking much. And after the previous post, Log 26: Journey of Karmic Unraveling, I think I can begin to do that. Somehow after the previous post I feel that, the more rapidly, that I expunge pending latent Karmic thoughts, especially in this annual 4.5 month long Saturn retrograde 2014, from 4th march to 21st July, more freedom it might bring me later on, when Saturn turns directional later. The process happens while I note down my thoughts, unraveling my inner karmic thoughts, different strands of observations etc.

Today, my wife got a Google Nexus 5, phone. Her earlier blackberry was dying out after merely two years of us. I remember, my own complaining post "crawl 02: caveman in future shock" after purchasing the most basic model of on my Samsung Galaxy, Star Pro android phone. I was cribbing so much then, but now with these basic features are working quite great guns for me. Lot of technoiphobic karma burnt out, especially in the overlayered event yesternight.

Bizzare multilayered events/ synchroncities...
Yesternight,  I had my first counselling session over Whats app. My friend Nandini was counselling me OVER whats app from U.S, while i was counselling a tearful, drunk, friend back home over the phone over NOT to  return to his ex girfriend, while simultaneous messaging replies on facebook to my astro group Adima Astro Zoo. Talk about technological adaptation, progress, since my cribbing post, then. And friend Nandini's karmic counselling was highly potent, I could feel blocks getting removed within me, because immediately, strangely, on neighboring foreigner girl (for the lack of a better word) strayed into our compound at 1:10 am dead of night screaming shouting as her dog was being attacked by our neighborhood stray dogs. Her brother had come to rescue, but no avail. Ultimately, I went down to help, and escorted her home, saving the day, becoming a hero at dead night, while simultaneously talking to my friend on the phone, continuing to counsel him. And later reverted to my counselor, Nandini on Whats app. All this while, my wife was playing Mahjong full on , at late night. To understand our recent mahjong fever significance,  read this post: Karmic Unravelling compared to Mahjong! Nandini was too zapped by all these layers, and ended up calling me.
Such richness of events, alters, miraculous coincidences happening all at once. Today morning, when I saw the picture on Mishti's facebook page, as described in detail in the previous post, it kind of made wondrous sense, retroactively. "You think you know What youre looking for.." up and until it actually finds you/ happens to you. Somehow a lot karmic layers were getting unraveled all at once.  WHAT has CHANGED is that instead of trying to be OBJECTIVE/ STRUCTURAL in my blogging narrative, I've changed tracks into the process/ journey/ events/ experiences/ BECOMINGS of the karmic unravelling process and it's many serpentine, multi layered threads, fabrics, designs, etc etc. This contnuous blogging on the go, expresses the superconductivity karmic unravelling process, even though currently not android enabled, helps give a much better picture of karmic reality/ synchronicity  in action. A dynamic living video shot, instead of a well framed structural photograph representing / DEAD / fossilzed/ Harrumphing conceptual theoretical narrative. 

Cheers to the Karmic unravelling process. Have a great weekend!

Log 26: journey of Karmic unraveling

Today while on Facebook, I was invited by our friend Mishti's  to like page Inner Katha Interventions. While browsing through her page, I found this haunting picture below on her wall.

This picture brought to light an issue that I had been since long festering within my self. The inner conflict of Being v.s. Becoming, Object v.s. Process, within me. In all my blogs, writings, posts, it's deconstruction, processes of becoming, that I preach and harp about, BUT yet within myself I have this huge fetish for Objects/ Objectivity/ Things/ Banners/ Labels/ Logos/ Structures/ Hierarchies, inside me. Yet, all the stuff that's been worth sharing so far, have been always been all about Events/ happenings/ experiences, and residues, by-products of an ongoing processes of karmic unraveling.

This picture on Mishti's facebook page, suddenly seemed to provide the breakthrough. I have been on a journey, a process of unraveling self discovery since long I can remember. And as far as my estimate goes, will continue to be on this journey, this highway of unraveling self discovery. By virtue of my being on this karmic journey, experiences would happen to me, insights would come to me, Objects would find me, and NOT the other way around. Hence objectively trying to search "things", define an open ended process has always invited a lacking, a failure, an  irritating itchiness within. All I should do, is pray attention, tribute and acknowledgement to this ongoing process of slef unraveling, karmic unraveling. Rest would come on it's own, on their own steam.

Same like, how this picture randomly.. found me!

Log 25: Experimenting with Names/ avatars

Like I described in a prior previous post, "Log 17: Returning to Karmic Purging", that changing the blog to something else invites an accelerated backlash from my pending Karmic issues. For this blogging process itself is an personal process for Karmic Clearing/ catharsis for me. Today, when I changed the blog title once again to Karmic Clearing, from it's previous avatar of  "Karmic Planets" which focussed on a highly astrological aspect of the Karmic process, I found an immediate response/ indication from the universe... ..

For the past quite a few days I have been having a lot of non vegetarian, oily, spicy, food, alcohol uninterruptedly, which is actually quite unusual for me. And as mentioned in the earlier post, I had to visit my Ayurvedic Doctor at Chandiwala ayurvedic dispensary for consultation, and her subsequent advice, medicines to control my usual ailment of stomach problems, heat, indigestion, etc. Even after, her treatment and techniques, somehow I was indulging full on, by circumstance and friendly invitations, still binging  on non vegetarian food and alcohol. Up and until yesternight, when I was invited unplanned to my friend Susmit's house for dinner, and binged on his divine Gumbo chicken and rum. While at his place, we watched Imtiaz Ali's earlier movie, Rockstar, on his laptop, and later played windows MahJong. It involved clearing out pairs of similar tokens, layer by layers. It always reminded me of Karmic Clearings. We were hooked ionto the game for hours. It was surely a sign for me, remidning me of the name Karmic Clearing..

Today, as soon as I uploaded the blog name / avatar changes to Karmic Clearing, a plate of overtly healthy, fibrous vegetables, full of anti oxidants, etc, was put before me. As my wife puts it, lot of veggies had piled up over the past few days, and had to be utilised before getting spoiled.  Eating this meal, felt immediately relaxing, and I could feel my stomach muscles, forehead, relax, after for a long time. The system was finding some relief from it's piling up overindulgence.  Updating this blog to Karmic Clearing found definitely me in the process of Clearing my piled up, pending stomach issues for now... ;)
Cheers to Karmic Clearing!

Log 24: Karmic Planets and therapies

Since last two days, I've been having fever, body heat, temperature, nose bleeds etc. My ayurvedic doctor who sits at Banarasidas Chandiwala estate, told me that, as usual, it was my increased body heat. As per her instructions, along with her medicines, I have mad a suji out of ghee and besan, which I'm mixing it with milk for reducing body heat. For my nose bleeds, she asked me to put raw coriander juice (kaccha dhaniya ras) through my nostrils. Also, I had kaccha haldi (raw tumeric) with milk for probable internal wounds, bleeding. Over the years, visiting her with my numerous ailments help me slowly improve without going to the hospital, doctor, unless for critical issues. Other than that, I always elect to suffer the inconveniences and manageable traumas of the body as a method to clear out pending Karmic debts.

I'm Libran ascendant, Tula Lagna, the Sun, my lord of the 11th house signifying Karmic credits/ gain sitting in my 12th house, signifying Karmic debts/ loss, indicates many widespread diseases and obstacles in the first half of my life. But as the Karmic debts are paid off, gradually, brings relief and improvement. Gradually, over time, as my lifetime of health and indigestion has begun improving, I have begun developing a demonic craving for all non vegetarian food, and alcohol. This is quite strange as generally people have such cravings in their hot blooded youth, and which,  due to an aging body, gradually diminish over time. For me, this reverse pattern has arisen because of debilitated Rahu in my 3rd house, of desire, expression, siblings. As we know, any malefic planet in Upachaya houses, (3rd, 6th, 10th, 11th houses from ascendant) gives gradual improvement and strengthening of that planets qualities over time. Rahu, as is known is the master of craving, desire, tamsic foods, alocholic beverages, sexuality, libido, consumerism, etc. Hence this symptom that I am experiencing. Now when I look back, the last 14 years, the very prime of my youth has been spent almost like a monk, an recluse, in pursuit of astrology, worship, prayers, solving problems, grappling with existence itself. Only now,  recently over time, Rahu in my 3rd house, has slowly begun coming alive.
 But like my ayurvedic doctor told, I should not overdo it, because of my newfound improved deigestion, and follow a balanced middle math, to go with the flow! cheers!

Log 23: Significance of Negative Planets

By this time, I'm having a bet on/ with myself, how long this current blog name, and description lasts. But since quite time now, I'm stopped backtracking and changing traces of my vacillating changes. Let these changes in the previous posts, remain a open testimony of my super restless / Khujli personae. Hmm, why I changed this time around to Negative Planets, is because suddenly I realized, that people experience highly visible results by undertaking therapies and remedies pertaining to the negative, debilitated, malefic planets in one's birth-chart. The blessings of the positive planets, are usually taken for granted, while the drawbacks, deficiencies, and challenges, of the Negative/ Malefic planets teach us karmic awareness, brings us redemption,  resolution and relief from our long pending Karmic Debts. In fact, I would go as far to say that knowing about the Karmic significance of the Negative/ Malefic planets is the highest goal and objective of Astrology. It is why, we have incarnated in this lifetime, in this particular birth.
In my own birth chart, comparisons between the Lagna Kundli and Navamsa chart, show that in past life I was a corrupt Guru/ priest/ God man. And in this life, have to make many am,ends in that direction to eliminate a lot of my Karmic curses. And this situation/ insight is easily divulged by comparing the position of Jupiter in both my Lagna Chart, and Navamsa. And it is , earlier ignore practice of remedies to debilitated/ malefic Jupiter that has brought me unforeseen positive signs and effects.

Log 22: The eternal process

Today finds me changing this blog name to Karmic Process, and rewriting the introduction page header again. Part of the Karmic Process. Purging, cleansing, modifying, changing, resolving. All different forms, procedures, and meta-dynamics of the Karmic Process. A process that goes on, eternally. Either very consciously, voluntarily, and actively. Or unconsciously, passively and involuntarily. Through deconstruction, interpretation, unraveling, and hundred other uncountable forms that I am yet to discover, or come across, this Karmic process goes on. But when you are conscious of this process, it happens much faster, smoother, and easier. But unconsciously, it is often quite nightmarish. Ghoulish even. My this very act, of  writing this blog on Karmic processes, is a highly personal Karmic Process itself. I write so fucking much! Why couldn't I simply make a book out of it? And become a great authority on the subject. Why blog!! Often when one post contradicts a previous one?? BECAUSE, this very act of this blog, is my own Karmic process. Where I am fated to share my own personal narratives and insights of the Karmic journey, the unfolding of the Karmic process. That's something that took me a billion years to realize.

I took a break from this post, and had the leftover spicy, mutton Chettinad from yesternight, when we had gone to Swagath restaurant, South Indian + seafood etc. It was tasting so awesome, one day later. When the spices had completely seeped and soaked into the fiber, and the oil had coagulated.  Because of Rahu in my third, I somehow find much higher, greater pleasures from stored, canned or leftover food. What, I want to say is that, it's a good sign. As opposed to last time, when I changed this blog into an avante garde, post modern thingy, and experienced a Karmic backlash. Today, by fine tuning the name/ decription of this blog to Karmic Process, I experienced a slice of pleasure,  uniqu, and specific to me. Rahu, leftover, oily, non veg food. A small unforeseen side effect of the Karmic Process? A small sign from the universe? I guess the way I am, I love the smaller signs better. ;) Cheerio/ Oreo! Cheers to the Process.

Log 21: Deconstruction equals Clearing

Today, once again, I changed the name, or rather modified the blog name from Karmic Purging to Karmic Clearing. Purging sounded much more violent, and daemonic. I saw a recent horror movie The Conjuring stg, Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson who are a married couple, professional demonologists, who help a suburban American family, plagued by a demonic witch. I found the movie excessively nightmarish, demonic. The violence of possession, chaos, and expurgation, And hence begin rethinking over the term Purging. It sounded too severe, and signifies a far more  extreme procedure. Karmic purging is but one of the extreme methods of Karmic clearing. But there are much more other, gradual process also. The overall term I had been searching for is/ was the term/ process of Karmic Clearing/ karmic resolution. Personally, I like the sound of this much more.. non violent, smoother, continuous, flowing. And instead of one major explosive expurgation, which is symbolised by serpentine Ketu, I would rather personally prefer the slow, continuous, GRADUAL process of Karmic Clearing, karmic resolutions as signified by Rahu or Saturn, my Karaka planets. That slower, gradual, process works much better with me. Hers to Karmic Clearings..

to be contd...

Log 20: Meridian Lines of becoming

Sunday morning, our friend Sukirti dropped by unannounced, out of nowhere. She was my wife's colleague in Yum, and had been our immediate neighbour. After she shifted to Gurgaon, we had completely lost touch. To my surprise, the place I had been invited for lunch was in her very same building compound. The odds of this coincidence happening, i.e, her landing up at GK II, on the same morning, when I was going to her very residential compound in Gurgaon.

Coincidences/ synchronicities often reflect underlying Karma in action. As we traveled together towards Gurgaon, we had a long, winding chat about many issues. When she was our neighbour, I had tried to teach her a lot about my approaches to astrology/ Karma, but she had her own opposing schools of thought, which had led to a lot of heated debates. But, interacting after a long gap, I realised that, we had both been right and wrong at the same time. While we chose to understand and validate our individual paths, we renounced the validity, existence of the opposing path. But  Karmic understanding makes us realize the existence, validity, and importance of the other, the opposing path. Everyone has their karma, what works for someone, depends on their own individual karma, their stars, their particular energy. And, beneath the surface layers, diametrically opposite paths often led to the very same common goals and objectives. But to have an understanding of this, we had to personally go through the first hand process of Karmic Purging! Shedding off pending karma, inflated egos, and biased viewpoints through the voluntary/ involuntary processes of karmic purging. The more you purge, more the universe fills you up with free knowledge, gyaan, evolution, and your life with coincidences and synchronicity. Amen to that!

NOTE: as opposed to my earlier experience/ effort/ process of writing/ blogging, this meridian line of  Karmic Purging, this longitudinal axis of thought, has enabled me to connect the dots. Now I seem to easily pen down my many lateral experiences, and seemingly parallel events. I feel, finding your meridian line of becoming, blossoms many strange coincidences and synchronicity. And how does one find one's meridian line of becoming. Just practice in Karmic purging.  ;)

Log 35: karmic reflections

From the earlier post, I continue the effects, feedbacks i recieve from the universe/ environment after my renaming this to Karmic Purgation. First, I get a very on the dot accurate daily forecast from astrology.com, which is usually pretty vague for me, but which has been eerily accurate for my wife for a very long time. Just see the paradox: wife of an astro guy getting an very accurate daily forecast from a mechanical auto update from a popular astrology site, but thats how it is!! My astro forecast read:

Hi Adim! Here is your Daily Cosmic Calendar for Saturday, February 8

Every so often the universe enjoys taking a siesta in its seeming perpetual bombardment of humanity and terra firma with challenging and discordant solar, lunar and planetary alignments. When this kind of 24-hour time-period occurs, it is wise to reflect on recent changes in your life, review the errors and mistakes of the past, and count your blessings. In addition, today's Moon sign -- Gemini -- carries more significance than usual due to the scarcity of other celestial aspects and because the lunar orb only makes a mentally-energizing, 60-degree liaison with Uranus (5:57AM). Thus, reading, writing and research are reinforced. How ironic that since yesterday I have been taking notes from Deleuzes' Anti- Oedipus in collaboration for my friend MM and later from Jean Baudrillard's essays Transparencey of Evil, Blowback of Duality etc. And yestenight till 3 am, was taking physical notes (pen and paper) from the great work of Deconstruction: Jacques Derrida's "On Grammatology". Later, a friend Ritika Jawa wrote to me on facebook message: "Ur blog on karmic purging is interesting. Is it not based on our planetary movements when we go through such cleansing process, I feel its like soul activates few things based on its evolution in the current cycle to rid of the karmic baggage which is stored in our bodies.". suddenly she was saying something so appropriate to Karmic Purgation. I replied: "yes, planetary transits are mere mechanishms by undergoing which we PURGE / get rid of the karmic baggage that is stored in our bodies...thats why karmic purging is most important!!!".  Later friend Mousumi Banikya, posted a heartfelt piece on her life, in her blog: Mousumis blog piece: as-life-goes-on . I added both Ritika and Mousumi to my karmic programmLooked like there were other karmic reflections in my immediate  environment after initiating this karmic purgation blog. The high itch to change it's title to something like Karmic Plumbing, Karmic investigations, Karmic chronicles/ musings/ or something along those lines still persists. But let this stay for now. The effects of this karmic purgation have been quite fruitful. In their consequential chains of events. I was actually beginning to whine at this slow phase, but reading the astro update, and the inputs from the two friends above, i feel i am in karmic sync! have a nice weekend!
