Dear Mark,

Thanks for the encouraging response!

I am very much thankful for the emails you send about the various transits and other data, I am trying to learn to detect these changes.

One thing, could you in the future sometime discuss why we should know astrology.

 Sometimes it seems that things are going to happen anyway so why should I know about it, what can I really do, etc.

Thank you again, Mark, all the best

Ross

Dear Ross:

You bring up a very important feature of Astrology.

Astrology is supposed to be able to tell us "something" about the future.
For example, we know that tomorrow the Sun will rise at exactly 6:02am.
That's the given....
But what we do about that information...
In other words, what we do, is still our free will!

This is of course, one of the greatest....
mysteries of life..

How life can simultaneously be both...conditioned and free!

I have a good analogy for this..

Imagine life is like a seed!

The seed is completely conditioned!

It's either an apple or a guava seed and only an apple or guava tree  will come out!

This seed is like our chart's.... They represent all the things that we started with...
Our personality, our chartacteristics... mental and emotional patterns....
It's all there...

But, what we do about it, is where our freedom comes in!

How well we nourish that seed, is completely up to us!

We can nurture it, give it water and fertilizer at just the right time...
or we can ignore it or only haphazardly...take care of it...

So, Astrology is both about that initial seed, that we are...
and even more importantly.....

Astrology is also about what we can do...to maximize our sproating....!

into the complete kind of human being...
that is our Astrological Possibilities!........

In other words, in your chart....are clear astrological depictions of who you are,...
your qualities, characteristics... strengths and weaknesses...

But, contained within all that are  subtle messages and meanings and even prescriptions
of things you could do...
to maximize your evolution....

Utilizing your strengths more....
and
even, strengthening...your weaknesses!

Astrology is the greatest knowledge and wisdom of life....

We live in an Astrological Universe...
and yet...

no one bothered to tell us.....that....
or
especially educate us....as to how to decipher "our" particular astrological
patterns....

Now, these are the main Benefits...of Astrology.

#1   Each person has a unique Astrological story or chart that expresses completely
       precisely.... who we are ...and what we've come to do in this life!

I like to say to people:   "Our Charts Fit us"....

This is the first great goal of Astrology is we discovering exactly How our charts are fitting
us!

Otherwise, we go decades trying to figure out who we are and where our strengths are
and what our vices or weaknesses are...

By then it's too late, and we've wasted so much time...

Imagine if we could have been told or taught or learned "Who" we are...at the very
earliest age...

Then, we'd find ourselves instead,....using all of our energy to manifest our life purpose
into the World...instead of just struggling to find who we are..

Also, then we could spend much of our earliest develoment age in strengthening or
correcting our weaknesses.... so that we don't carry them into our life...as young adults
and frustrating...our lives...

#2   The 2nd most important Part of Astrology is it's genius for understanding exactly
how we're meant to develop our lives...

In other words, our charts contain not only a picture or Understanding of WHO we are
but also a knowledge and Wisdom of who we're meant to become...

For example, in traditional Astrology one's malefics are thought predominantly to be
indicative of our problems challenges grief and sufferings.

However, my particular insight into Astrology is that our malefics are really about where
we're meant to self-improve ourselves...

Our malefics even, represent those exact parts of us that we're meant to self-develop!

This is a huge new insight into the field of Astrology.....
though the idea of remedies and remedial measures has been there from the past...

Now, however, the understnding of this part of Astrology is beginning to become
more important.

When I do people's charts I do two things

#1 I help them see themselves more clearly through their charts...

This is the Understanding Part... our strengths and weaknesses...

#2  I then help a person discover which planets are weak and HOW, especially to
strengthen those Malefic planets....

This is the real essence of Astrology as it is in life....

to improve ourselves!

Astrology is the ultimate self-improvement Technology...


Hope this answers your question!


Sincerely,


Mark Kinciad

Dear Mark,

Hope you're doing well.

Dear Ross:

I can't tell from this email whether I answered this email from you.
So, I'm sending you a note in case I haven't.
I'm catching up with previous emails anyway.

I'm not sure how the instant messenger function works.

It's very simple. You just go to yahoo.com and on their site they'll have an icon for
Yahoo's Instant Messenger.
You click on it and follow the instructions for downloading this free software.

Then, once you have it downloaded then there's an area at the top where you can
"add contacts".

Then add my username: kincaidmark

And I want to apologize for the delay with my introduction. I'm not really good at writing so I'm hesitating.

Here's a little about myself. I am recently divorced after 24 years of marriage. We have three children a girl 23, a boy 21, and a girl 20. As for my eating problems I think I've always had one but I was very athletic so I could get away with it. But I've always known that when I get uncomfortable, anxious, happy, depressed, name it, that food, usually sweets, makes me feel better.

Yes, I think you're right.
Research in fact has found that endorpins increase as a result of eating food.
So, when we eat it is very pleasureable.
The problem however, is that we can't satisfy the soul with enough food, pleasure, so
one of the problems in over-eating is not to look for bliss in food.

Food should be delicious, fresh, healthy and fit with our Physiology.
In other words different foods are better for certain body types.

But, you're also touching on a very important issue that often times we project the mind or heart onto the needs of the body and sometimes that gets us in trouble.

Right now I weigh about 230 and the last few months I've put on about 12 lbs. I'm a bit depressed so I eat much more often and less healthy.

Let me add one piece of advice here.

Look for some other outlets to fight and end depression instead of food.

Enjoy eating, eat as much as you want, but eat when you're feeling happy instead of eating
when sad or depressed.

If sad or depressed do something else. Read, meditate, go for a sun-set walk, call friends,
etc.

Find other ways of dealing with depression.

In Jyotish & Astrology 'depression' is really a Moonish problem.

So, in this group we should focus on ways especially to strengthen your Moon!

I too have faced a lot of depression in my life.

I "had" my Moon in the 12th House, small Moon, only 1 House away from the Sun, in the 11th and Moon is with Saturn in the 12th...

So, lots of depression, worry and anxieites.

Jyotish has helped me realize I needed to nourish myself emotionally.

As I've done that the anxiety and worrys have diminished and so has my own over-eating!

My goals with this course are to learn what is causing me to eat this way because I don't see a lot of other people doing what I'm doing. I want to become much more regulated in my eating and learn how to appease any planet(s) that may be contributing to this problem.

We'll find in your chart, exactly why you over-eat and then, some things you can do to
strength the real problems instead of over-eating.

I don't suggest often, trying to diet but instead go to the real source of the problem
which is in our charts!

Please let me know if I left out anything that I should've included. Here is my birth information:

July 4, 1958

9:08 pm (21:08)

Dallas, Texas

Thank You for making this course available.

Ross

Some initial thoughts about your chart.

Your Moon is not greatly malefic or weakened, (like mine, hehe). It is however Waning
which means you're meant to put more attention to your feelings and to develop your
Moon-mind, heart. Also, only 1 malefic influences your Moon, Rahu, which has some
special meaning for you, that we can discuss.

Also, "depression" is not only a Moon problem but sometimes it's a Saturn challenge.
Your Saturn's in the 11th House in Scorpio, Lord of the 1st House, which is a good
Lordship.

But, maybe you've not taken good enough care of yourself.

It doesn't take too long, violating geting enough rest, or picking up stress to bring depression onto anyone!

So, we'll have to talk about your routine, whether you go to bed early enough, etc.

Thanks for participating in our group!
