Astral Peeks: Electional astrology

This is a technique used to select the most favourable time for an event such as a marriage, starting a business or moving into a new home. It's usually used for something important and not for trivial matters. Electional astrology is utilized in choosing the most appropriate time to begin something. The intent is to achieve a successful outcome. The election chart itself is drawn for the place where the event will occur at a certain time in the future. At its best, an election chart will make use of the most beneficial planetary alignments on any given day. Since the Moon is of primary importance in all election work, she is given precedence, though the rulers of the elected matter are also considered.

Meditation Moments:  a Buddha story

One hot day, Buddha and his disciple Ananda are walking through a forest. He says to Ananda, “We passed a stream of water a few miles behind. Can you go back and get me some? I am feeling quite thirsty. I would also like to rest a little.” Ananda immediately nods his head and goes back to the stream. When he reaches it, he finds that a few bullocks and a group of people have crossed through the stream. It is muddy and covered with leaves and dust. The water is too dirty to drink. Ananda returns without water. Buddha asks, “What happened?” Ananda explains the reason and asks if Buddha can wait a little longer so he could bring water from a big river a few miles ahead.But Buddha insists Ananda to go back and bring him water from that same stream. Ananda is puzzled. But he knows he cannot disagree with his master.

As he is leaving, Buddha says, “Ananda, do not come back empty-handed this time. If the water is dirty, you do nothing. Simply sit on the bank of the stream, and watch. The time will come when the dirt will wash away and the water will be clear again. Do not come back without the water. ‘When Ananda reaches the stream, he sees the water is almost clear. It’s not as dirty as before. He sits on the bank and watches the stream. Gradually, the dust settles down and the water becomes clear. Buddha is right. Ananda understands the reason behind his insistence. He fills up the water in the begging-bowl and runs back overjoyed. He thanks Budhha. Buddha says, “I should thank you for the water, why are you thanking me?” Ananda replies, “Bhagwan, At first I was mad because of the absurdity of walking back 3miles on this hot day when I knew the water was dirty. Then I didn’t understand the hidden message behind your persistence. Waiting and witnessing the water, dust, and leaves made many things clear to me.

While I was sitting on the bank, watching and waiting for the water to clear, I became aware of what I had been doing wrong so far. If I had jumped into the stream and tried to clear it then I would have made it dirtier. Similarly, if I fight with my mind, if I jump into my mind, I will create more problems. and my mind will be more unstable then before. Sitting on the streams’ shore, I understood the fundamental key to meditation. Simply watching the thoughts, and just waiting for it to be clear.”
