November 22nd Saturday 8:30-11 PM EST - Eve Mendoza | The Weight of Words: Jyotish & Psychological Profiling :
This is the very topic that caused me to exit Jyotish practice for two years. We are potentially affecting another person's life with our words and advice. If we are in the state of a Rishi or a real Guru, this may be ok, but many of us may not be in that state.
We will visit the labyrinth of considerations facing us today that did not apply to ancient society and examine many example charts that are commonly misread. Let’s consider the growing need for discretion and respect on behalf of the Jyotishi. Though this may sound like a session on ethics, it has nothing to do with asserting virtue and more to do with realizing how virtue can be the most blinding factor. This presentation will include many helpful examples of charts, misconceptions, the gunas, types of karma, why this is important to understand and the critical role of discernment of what we can see and what we may not be able to see.
