I have read many of the posts above... there is much I wish to offer but will address the one area that in my humble opinion may add the most amount of good.
saswathy offers the following:
whatever was done by the soul gets reflected in the chart because a soul takes birth to repay all the karmic debts
I see this a bit differently. The soul or Self does nothing. It is outside the field of activity. It is stainless. There is nothing for the soul to pickup or repay. If it did it would be considered within the relative field of life. The implications to this would be vast.
We are told by kṛṣṇa-jī in the bhāgavad gītā ( chapt 2 & 3) that:
- in every case actions are performed by the 3 guna-s of prakṛti¹ (nature). He whose mind is deluded by the sense of 'I' and 'mine' holds 'I am the doer'.
- be without the 3 guna-s
If there is action ( karman) then it is in the field of the 3 guna-s. Yet Being (soul) is outside this field.
So, kṛṣṇa-jī says be without the 3 guna-s. If you are outside of these then where are 'you' ?
'You' are then in union with the Self or svātmārāma - taking pleasure in or contented with one's Self , one
is outside the binding influence of action. Good or bad has no basis. One aligns to the infinite.
Jyotish operates within this field of the 3 guna-s.
