I Want The Thrill Of The Unknown, The Fire Of Passion, And The Raw Truth That Lies In Chaos. I Seek The

One of the things I magically manifested in November 2019 was $300 with a citrine necklace I bought in Venice beach in LA

I was thoroughly looking through my belongings multiple times for something that was missing, and when I checked my purse later, I found $300 inside of it and didn’t go to work or receive money from anywhere

Citrine is connected to your solar plexus chakra which is connected in Sun in Vedic Astrology and Venice is connected to Venus

Sun rules my 11th house of financial gains and Venus rules my 8th house of sudden windfalls and both are placed in my 1st house in Libra

Buying this citrine necklace in Venice Beach unintentionally casted a spell and activated houses related to money

Not to mention I had a flight that week which activated my 11th lord Sun in Swati of Libra as Swati is connected to flying and aviation

November is also the 11th month of year when the 11th house activates

Greetings! @makingspiritualityreal

I always gain a lot of knowledge from the posts you write. Despite reading a lot about atmakaraka, I haven't come across any data regarding debilitated atmakaraka. I'm hoping you can help me with this.

Debilitated Atmakaraka

I will now say something that may be potentially controversial, but I think atmakaraka and amatyakaraka are overrated.

Technically, according to classic theory, having a debilitated planet as your atmakaraka means you're working with difficult karmas relative to your most automatic daily expression. But even a debilitated planet can function well, it will just be unusual. That is because there are many factors that decide the planet's strength, like Shad Bala. The planet can be in a good house even if it's in a debilitated sign. It can form a neech bhang and get its debilitation cancelled.

To give you an example, my Mercury technically shouldn't be doing well in Sagittarius, because it's in a debilitated/detrimented/fallen sign however you call it, but it's my highest scoring shadbala planet. It's in a good house, Vic di Cara even formed a theory that Mercury does best in the 2nd house, supported by a decent Venus. My astrology software ranks it as my highest scoring planet. A sign of debilitation is not all there is to it.

All you can tell for sure is that the expression of that debilitated planet will be less traditional and straightforward. But focusing on the concept of atmakaraka itself for too long is not the best way to get chart accuracy, when planetary scoring yields much more accurate results.

9th and 12th Houses - How Far is Foreign?

An insight, that adds to depth of understanding of Astrology through diving into Vedic resources is the change in perception between the 12th and the 9th house.

In popular Astrology circles, both of these houses are commonly associated with foreign lands. However, as you explore the meaning of these houses more, you begin to understand them deeper in polarity with their opposite.

The actual house of foreign, far away travel (or relocation, depending on the chart) is the 9th house. That is because the 9th house is the opposite of the 3rd house.

Say you are European, and you lived your whole life in Europe, and you travelled around different European countries to explore the continent. This is the 3rd house. It is the expansion beyond your local home country into exploring its nearest cultural environment, and at the end of such a pilgrimage, you end up with a personal understanding of your individual, cultural identity, which moves you to its emotional interpretation in the 4th house.

But then lets say you travel or move from Europe to Asia, either of the American continents, Australia…take your pick. This is the activation of the 9th house. Because you are no longer exploring just the back yard of a culture with a certain degree of similarity, you are entering a completely new physical world.

This is why houses 9, 10 and 11, and 12th to an extent, are found in charts of famous people. You need to be able to participate in an energy, an idea, that is going to spread into foreign lands to truly be famous. This applies even if we’re talking about online success, which is the way people get recognition nowadays. Otherwise, you are at best a local singer on your continent or your country’s music festival. There is nothing wrong with that of course, as many people love to contribute to their community and they’re happy doing so, but it’s still an accurate observation. You need to be able to go far away, not strictly physically but energetically, to touch a variety of people from many cultures.

You might wonder, how does the 12th house fit into this? Clearly, it’s part of the whole 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th house group, so it should also rule foreign lands. But the 12th house is actually more than that. The 12th house rules a fantastical, foreign idea, that might not necessarily be grounded in the immediate physical, but is nevertheless energetically real and can be accessed from anywhere. It’s the idea of the collective emotional consciousness, that may not have the most quick and obvious material manifestation but is nevertheless a very real thing existing within this Universe.

Up until the 11th house, through 9th and 10th, we are dealing with more or less tangible ideas regarding foreign lands. Let’s say in the 9th house you relocated to a completely foreign culture, in the 10th house you found a way to tangibly join the most prominent physical environment of the world through that culture, in the 11th house you met some of the most prominent, affluent people in the world. I don’t have any 11th house planets, but to give you an idea of how it works, my husband has Venus conjunct Mars in the 11th house, we live in the Las Vegas area, and he plays sports and is casually friendly with some of the wealthiest people in the world, who own successful businesses, own several properties across the world, and spend a lot of their time either making a lot of money or travelling the world, or both. We are not one of those people, but it should give you an idea of what the 11th house is. It’s the creme de la creme of the physical world. I don’t personally interact much with these people, as they are my husband’s friends, not mine, and I don’t play sports with them, but I have a deep awareness of how advanced socially and financially this particular group is, having travelled to many poorer parts of the world. There are people in this world, starving, so in comparison to them, the 11th house society is the top 1% of 1%.

You might think, well, the 11th house is everything, so how can the 12th house be more? The 12th house is more because it sells something even the 11th house people can’t resist, it sells the ultimate fantasy.

In the 12th house we move on to people so wealthy, they barely even interact with others. We move to intangible concepts, physical areas and objects, that provoke people to spend obscene amounts of money simply due to some idea. The 12th house is not just real foreign travel like the 9th house, it is the embodiment of the realisation of all fantasies. That is why Venus is so happy in the 12th house, because it enjoys the ultimate idea of fantastical luxury.

The foreign area that we travel to in the 12th house is not this globe, it is deep inside us. By the time we realise all our fantasies in the 11th house we can feel tired, or even jaded. But in the 12th house we are stimulated to all of our secret, hidden desires being provoked and coming true. This can be done not only within our home, within our room, but completely within our minds. Those, who are successful in the 12th house are those, who made those fantasies concrete enough to realise them and live within them.

What if you could taste and smell the finest perfume created on this planet from purely natural oils? What if you could touch the finest fabrics, created in corners of the world you never even dreamed of? What if you could live this dream, every day, surrounded by an infinite kaleidoscope of the pinnacle of perfection achieved by our planet until this time? “What if?” is the exotic, “foreign”, “far away” dream of the 12th house, and a well realised 12th house is a dream come true.

To offer up an example, in the last few years, youtubers living in rural areas from all over the world have popped up on the internet, offering videos from their seemingly idyllic life. That is the definition of the 12th house fantasy, devoid of the actually reality of having to take the 9th house physical pilgrimage of travelling to rural China and enduring all the difficulties involved with facing the reality of such a location. It may seem idealised, yet the source material for filming is real, so while it may be distant from the viewers geographically, while it may cost the locals a lot of work, it is nevertheless part of an actual, existing reality.

This dream, that can seem excessive to a mundane mind, becomes even clearer in the context of the 12th house’s polarity, the 6th house. The 6th house is the tough battle of dealing with the ugliness and conflict of this world. That is the reality of this physical world for most of us, we get up every day and deal with conflicts, that we have in front of us. It is exhausting, and so the 12th house is everything that heals and soothes the pain of any conflict that ravaged us in the 6th house. It’s the world offering no resistance, it’s all boundaries being breached. After all, in our dreams, or fantasies, we want everything to be perfect and smooth.

Ironically enough, the karaka of the 12th house is Saturn. As someone with significant 12th house influence, it is pretty clear to me why. In order to have only the finest dream come true, to really live in a beautiful fantasy, one actually needs to do a lot of research, be picky, critical and have background expertise and know-how. Otherwise, even as just a consumer, you would be easily fooled, hoodwinked into a fake product, or end up overpaying on something, that is not worth the money you invest into it. Scrutiny of Saturn is necessary for our fantasies to be smooth. It is not something, that is given to us that easily. Saturn also rules isolation, and if the 9th house is foreign, the 12th house is the pinnacle of remote. The 9th house is what is foreign and exciting to us, mentally and physically, but the 12th house represents the most remote corners of both the physical world, and our minds.

This is why the 12th house is the furthest away from the 1st house, our basic, natural, physical life. Because the furthest thing on this planet is not just a foreign continent, it’s a journey inside our minds and emotions, the ability to blend discernment and internal surrender to divine perfection, that leads to manifestation. It is the full depth of untapped potential on the very bottom of our subconscious, a research and response to all collective energetic resources available on the planet, a gold mine waiting to be explored, exploited, and enjoyed. And it is tapping into this gold mine, that has the power to tempt, seduce, and attract people from all around the world into directing their energy towards us, even if we’re physically just sitting in our room, far away from them.

The Reason Why We Need Difficult Chart Alignments

People often wonder what is the point of debilitated planets in one's chart. Why do we go through difficulties, why do some people struggle, while some have an easier time.

Whenever someone asks me that question, I always think of a conversation I once had with an online friend I used to hang around a few years ago. It was before my spiritual project has taken off, I was looking to find myself, I gave up on trying to find regular job security, I was diving full into spirituality, and I don't regret any of the above, but it was a miserable process. I had many difficult professional experiences before that, and as much as I was unsure of the future, I felt liberated. I was trying to talk to that friend about my life, my suffering, my hopes and my determination for self improvement, and my friend, who by the way has very easy chart aspects and was really praised in her office, looked at me sceptically as if I was inventing things and said "Surely, it doesn't have to be THAT bad!". Only...for me at that time, it was.

People who haven't had the experience of encountering challenges often can't fathom how difficult this area of life could be for others. To them, that Universe doesn't exist. They think people who had to go through these challenges somehow always encounter them as a result of a mistake, or it's something that can be easily corrected. A person who has known suffering, even if they bounce back from it and gain happiness, is forever humbled by the experience, and that suffering makes them develop greater empathy.

Ease without challenges produces blindness, complacency and unconsciousness. We can't have maturity and awareness without experiencing challenging circumstances. Greatness is born from overcoming obstacles, not having things handed on a silver platter.

“The meaning of my existence is that life has addressed a question to me. Or, conversely, I myself am a question which is addressed to the world, and I must communicate my answer, for otherwise I am dependent upon the world’s answer.”

The only reminder you need to avoid 80% of your self-esteem issues.

disagreements are totally fine, but disrespect is not.

Numerology Master Numbers and Astrology

As an astrologer, I am definitely not the only one who uses the celebrity base on astrotheme as an endless supply of natal charts to learn from. It gets even more interesting, when you mix your knowledge of astrology and numerology. 

Planets in the astrology chart are often linked to numerological vibrations. For example, I have been surrounded by many life path 7s in my life, mostly family, and all these people tend to have 6th/12th house natal planets. They often have difficult lives, oriented not towards material gain but service to others and gaining spiritual humility. Life path 5s often have dominant mercurial vibes - in some way, those energies rule their chart, I’ve seen mostly Virgo and Gemini risings. Life path 1s often have Aries/1st house or some sort of action motivated/fire ruled energies in their astrology charts.

Those with master vibrations in numerology tend to have a hard life and bloom later in life - often in their 50s. That happens due to the fact, that master numbers have two different energies to master in one lifetime. The intensity is overwhelming for the human body to deal with, and it takes time to do the double work, it takes twice the time to find balance and fulfillment with such intense energies. I had people be jealous of my life path 11, but I always tell them that if they like it so much, together with this vibration they would carry the burden. So you get double the homework - blending both the energy of 1 and 2 into your life, and constantly preserving the balance between them. Same with all other master numbers. 

Obviously the double work explains, why many people with those vibrations can suddenly skyrocket to fame as they approach their 50s, and suddenly, as they gain maturity, their intense energies blossom with strong gifts, after a lifetime of working on them or maybe even not tapping into them at all. That happened for example to the famous author of the 50 Shades of Grey novels, a LP 11 who openly says that she is surprised her midlife crisis writing lead to success, since she didn’t write before her 40s at all, and her writing was more of a guilty pleasure for her. 

However, this situation does not apply to every master number. Why? Because the layer we are talking about is only the success in the material world, and fulfillment, happiness and balance in life doesn’t rest solely on that. There are people, who became successful while still young, born with master vibrations - my favorite examples are Harry Potter actors, Tom Felton and Emma Watson, both LP 11s, child actors. Tom Felton’s chart doesn’t have his birth hour, so I’m not gonna shoot in the dark, but Emma Watson’s chart is filled with planets auspicious for public success, like Mars in Dhanishta or Jupiter in the 10th. This is an example of how people’s astrological energies can win them public acclaim in lives easier, even as a master number. However, this success does not have to equal fulfillment in their lives. It’s just one area of life, where these people’s energies flow easily so it was possible for them to be easily successful to the public. Which may explain, why we haven’t heard anything groundbreaking from these actors, since their childhood careers - they will probably reemarge with something more substantial, after they mature. 

Nevertheless, we have no idea what kind of emotional suffering these people carry behind the veil of early success. Every master number has SOME area in life where they struggle and it will take them years to master that energy. Or they may have only resolved it moderately while they were young, they were used to operating those energies on an average level and suddenly, later in life the problems may find resolution and their level of fulfillment explodes compared to how their life was before. I have a LP 11 friend, who has a moderately successful career, but her personal relationships never lasted and brought her a lot of pain. Her work friends have no idea about her struggles, and still view her as a very positive, accomplished person. An image of success does not have to equal balance or happiness.

Bottom line is - if you are a numerological master number, study your astrology chart thoroughly. As a master number, you incarnated to guide and serve humanity in some way. It is more important for you than everyone else to understand which energies in your life will be easier to navigate, what you can use to give to others, and which energies you need to give A LOT of patience and time. You can have an easier time especially with the gifts of your Ketu, because this is something you did over many lifetimes, and as a master number, you had many past lives, and you’re highly spiritually connected, so it will come very easily, almost automatically. For example, I have my Ketu in the 8th house. When I first picked up tarot, I had an immediate, instinctive understanding of it, and I was feeling confident even with little practice. Same with astrology, I always had an intuitive understanding of its energies, before I studied it in depth. I also could always seamlessly relate and grasp everyone’s traumas and psychological complexities. Mental flexibility and natural acceptance of controversial, painful topics, and also being able to transform through those energies in my own personal life is simply something I did so many times I will always have an easiness channeling it for others. It is however important not to stop at just tapping into those past life gifts, but simply use them to propel yourself forward and force yourself to leave the comfort zone. Even if it’s painful, shameful and takes years of work.

Most importantly, no matter what your Life Path Number and Astrology Chart say, remember that it is never too late for you, and you can always blossom, no matter what hardship you left behind, and how long it took to build what you always dreamt of.

Do you ever wonder if the Idol you like is actually a misogynist because the sexism in Korea is so bad they now even have an anti-feminist president and every 1,8 days a woman dies through a sexual crime and korean women have literally formed a movement in which they boycott any kind of relationship with men regarding sex, dating, marriage and if southkorean men don't change the whole population is gonna be down by HALF by 2100 because women also refuse do procreate and have children and it's absolutely not possible that every member of every boygroup you like is unproblematic in this regard or are you ignorant?
