Common Snapping Turtle

" Progress comes by maintaining constant effort in daily practice ."

~~ 14th Dalai Lama 1935- Policy of Kindness Tenzing Gyatso (1997).

QUOTATION

from The Book of Jeremiah 7:5-7 = New International Version [1973]

"if you truly execute justice one with another,

if you do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow,

or shed innocent blood in this place,

and if you do not go after other gods to your own harm,

then I will let you dwell in this place,

in the land that I gave of old to your fathers forever."

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

~~ 2 Timothy 1:7

QUOTATION from Book of Job - Iyov 2:12

" With the ancient is wisdom;

and in length of days, understanding."

The resistance to the unpleasant situation is the root of the suffering.

~~ Be Here Now 1931-2019 Baba Ram Dass

Mtn_narrowRdSnow.jpgStructural SHANI occupies TULA-RASHI

[akashic memory patterning] of social justice, fair deals, and balanced contracts.

The struggle to achieve Social Equity.

Tula rashi = the best possible location for Shani. In Tula, Shani the Structure-Maker feels welcomed into the rashi of Great Friend Shukra as a respected architect of Social Justice.

Shani-Tula = uttama. Yet Shani is still Shani. [uchcha] = social-material success after lengthy procedures and considerable delay.

[staunch adherence to religious oaths of fealty] [catchetical legitimacy of fairly bargained agreements] [exhausting theologically principled partnerships]

[obligatory doctrinal preaching upon maintenance of yoked pairs] [must equably regulate paradigmatic beliefs] [imposes proletarian worldview dharmesha within contractual exchanges]

[drying of the golden vitality fires in kidney-pancreas region] [lawfully required to conduct priestly diplomacy] [must continue old hidden randhresha sacred avowals]

Shani-Tula game-plan scripted elements may include:

  • survival fear of the yoke, fear of disorder

  • scarcity of agreements, slow and delayed negotiations, limitations upon trust

  • substantial effort required to impose lawful justice

  • lawful principles of equality, parity, partnership, alliance

  • obligation to impose lawful public order of fair trade, fair contracts, match-making, deals, bargains, diplomacy, conditions of betrothal

The Learner may express a certain elitism, based upon an architectonic view of the social order.

EXAMPLE

Faust 1749-1832 polymath Johann Wolfgang von Goethe = [ātmakāraka] Shani-3-uchcha] rules his plebian Chandra in Sadachbia [7].

  • Goethe wrote countless bawdy tavern songs and highly popular melodramas for the folk audience, yet he expressed a view that the common people were inherently incapable of governing themselves.

  • Although Scientific in orientation, Goethe had little interest in social progressive politics such as democracy movements. He preferred the traditional order of social hierarchies.

Shani-Tula tends to put most of its regulatory, ordering, step-wise energy into building a shield of resistance against superficial or insubstantial agreements.

Shani works effectively toward superior levels of Balance. Extraordinary discipline and broadly inclusive social perspective.

Shani=uttama usually works with diligence and produces exceptionally beneficial public results. High quality leadership in social justice.

Invariably a hard worker

EXAMPLE

POTUS-22-24 Interstate Commerce 1837-1908 Grover Cleveland [financial-evaluating Viśākha-2] = [ātmakāraka] [Viśākha-uchcha-Shani-yuti-Ketu-Arcturus] + [uchcha-Viśākha -Shani-12 parivartamsha Sukra-Pegasus-4]

  • According to the newspaper accounts, GC married Frances Folsom in the Whitehouse in the morning and went back to work in the afternoon.

EXAMPLE

France-Pres 1955- public finance Nicolas Sarkozy [teamtalking-managing Viśākha-3]  [10, institutional leadership]

  • As President of France and simultaneous rotating leader of the European Union, NPSS held continous responsibility for regional governance operations.

  • During his five-year term as President of France, 2007-2012 - NPSS achieved peak levels of commanding influence within the entire European Union.

materially successful; professionally recognized in the chosen field of endeavor.

EXAMPLE

The Mirror 1895-1986 theosophy Jiddu Krishnamurti

  • after his abdication announcement, JK continued to write and speak at community events. As an abdicant, JK remained a popular public figure.
  • Despite his own frequent declaration that each person should follow their own personal pathway, many cult followers continued to insist that he held a justly lawful authority at a doctrinal level.

In particular, Shani-Tula is engaged professionally with material design - whether mechanical design, political design, artistic design, or other structural development.

The only failure mode for wonderful [uchcha] Shani occurs with The reciprocal aspect

from His bitter enemy + [uchcha-Surya] . Those born when Ravi enters Mesha while Shani occupies Tula, are focused, ambitious workers. Unfortunately, uttama Ravi's aristocratic self-confidence is weakened by mutual drishti with His law-and-order, plebian enemy Shani.

This high-tension angle can result in a narcissistic, passive-aggressive quest for personal glory which limits Shani 's power to achieve public recognition.

Even in an advanced personality, there is much internal resistance due to the extreme tension between personal independent creative freedom [Surya] vs. social structural governance leadership responsibilities

EXAMPLE

The Mirror 1895-1986 theosophy Jiddu Krishnamurti [regulatory-lawful Arcturus-2] [9]

  • in fierce and relentless opposition from entitled first-arriver [uchcha-Surya-Mesha-3]. JK abdicated his appointed role as head of a worldwide religious organization.

  • JK directed those who had been advised to follow him that truth = trackless land and each individual [Surya] must discern their own pathway. Nevertheless, JK continued to write and speak as a respected public philosopher [Shani-9].

Another Surya-related disability for [uchcha] Shani can be excessively rigid insistence upon full parity in contracts.

Shani-Tula = deeply committed to the philosophy and practice of equitable relations between have-and-have-not may have poor operating skills for using main vehicle of social power re-distribution - which is Politics.

EXAMPLE

POTUS-39 Talking Peace 1924-2024 Jimmy Carter [ideological-optimistic Arcturus-1] + [Viśākha-Chandra-yuti-Shani-Svati] [1, unique personality, vitality, appearance]

  • JEC = reckoned an outstanding global citizen [Chandra karmesha]. His decades-long work consisted of largely of using his face-recognition [1] to conduct unofficial diplomacy [Tula] and elections regulation in tribal countries [Chandra rules Karkata, old-ways].

  • JEC's political downfall as a failed POTUS" in the USA occurred largely as a result of his perfectionism. He insisted on placing moral correctness [Shani-Chandra] above the more operationally expedient means of getting things done.

  • 1979 Iran-Contra scandal = the single, salient event which damaged the viability of JEC's presidency. Ketu-Shani bhukti ++ dvadasa Sade-Sati = his frozen inability to negotiate [Tula] an exchange agreement to free the USA hostages.

  • JEC continued to delay the exchange by insisting upon ethical conduct [Chandra morality]. Because the nation wanted a quick and effective repatriation for the victims, JEC was blamed for incompetent inaction and denied a second term of executive office.

Presuming auspicious drishti and depending on the bhava, [uchcha] Shani can benefit the masses-and-the-classes via large corporations.

EXAMPLE

Microsoft 1955- philanthropist Bill Gates [managing-teamworking Viśākha-3] + [ātmakāraka] = [nīcha-Svati-Surya-yuti-Shukra-Viśākha]

  • philanthropy = stunning affluence is judiciously re-invested into greater social equity. [5, financial speculation, games]

EXAMPLE

Hugging Saint 1953- Ammachi of Kerala.

  • AK's style of public-service leadership involved leveraging [Tula] the financial assets and power of large organizations to offset poverty and corruption of the disenfranchised.

You have enduring health. In spite of an otherwise well-proportioned body, depression persists in your countenance. You are not very careful about your clothes .

THE PERFECTION OF EFFORT

QUOTATION from Tenzing Gyatso, Kindness, clarity, and Insight, p 50-51

Effort is crucial in the beginning for generating a strong will.

We all have the Buddha nature and thus already have within us the substances through which, when we meet with the proper conditions, we can turn into a fully enlightened being having all beneficial attributes and devoid of all faults.

  • The very root of failure in our lives is to think, oh, how useless and powerless I am!"

  • It is important to have a strong force of mind thinking, ican do it," this not being mixed with pride or any other afflictive emotion.

Moderate effort over a long period of time is important, no matter what you are trying to do.

  • One brings failure on oneself by working extremely hard at the beginning, attempting to do too much, and then giving it all up after a short time.

  • A constant stream of moderate effort is needed.

  • Similarly, when meditating, you need to be skillful by having frequent, short sessions

  • it is more important that the session be of good quality than that it be long."
