Regarding the Third House

The third house is the eighth from the eighth. Since the
Eighth house represents death, the eighth from the eighth (
the Third House ) is considered dangerous. On the positive
side, younger coborns & Help are indicated by the Third
House. If the third house is vitiated by malefics, help from
others will be found wanting. Here we enumerate the effects

Astrology and the Science of Numbers ( Numerology )
Numerology can be a quite useful in the realisation of
Cosmic Truth as numbers have got vibrations and the essence
of Reality is ultimately numbers!

Astrology & Gemology

About Astro-Gemology , Manley Hall writes in the "Secret
Teachings of all Ages " that " The rays of the celestial
bodies, striking the crystallizing influences of the lower
world, become the various elements. Partaking of the astral
virtues of their source, these elements neutrallize certain
unbalanced forms of celestial activity & when properly
combined, contribute much to the well-being of man". This is
the rationale of Planetary Gemology.

Astrology & Yoga

Union via Action ( Karma Yoga )

While acknowledging the fact the the One Universal Substance
which compose the differentiated parts of the Universe is
all this , one should indulge in selfless service and love
for Him. Man has two duties - Duty unto Caesar means we have
to do our wordly duties & Duty unto Self or God means we
have to do selfless service to our brethren so that we
fulfill the divine humanity in ourselves.

There is a poetic verse which says that trees exist for
altruism, that rivers exist for altruism, that cows exist
for altruism and hence this body is for Altruism or selfless
service. The basis of all service is Love. When we love, we
serve. Service is divine and service is one of the means to
exhaust one's own Karma . Karma is defined as action and all
actions have reactions. The Grand Law of Causation, the Law
of Cause and Effect, the Law of Retribution is called
philosophically as the Law of Karma. So we as composite
creatures have done both good and evil and good & evil
karmas haunt us. But in order to attain to
Self-Actualisation, we should exhaust our karma. As far as
karma is concerned there will be backlog and it will be
difficult to exhaust karma all of a sudden. But absolute
surrender to the Divine is the only remedy and while we
tread the Path Celestial, all karmas get burnt up.

In Silence, we have to climb from our own earths to our own
heavens, rendering to the Caesar of the outer world the
things which are lawfully his, and at the same time
fulfilling the Law of Wisdom which will set us up and
distinguish us from the ranks of other men. it is true that
many adversities and opposition we may have to confront. But
these are merely parts of the process and tests of fidelity.

Some people on this Path Eternal complain that they and
their friends also are visited by misfortune. But we have to
understand that they are wages and Initiation is a process
of intensive culture and accelerated evolution. It is our
Karma exhausting itself.

We have to understand that the Divine Will is leading us,
through every circumstance, towards the Final Realisation.
This faith will give us equanimity.

Astrology & Occult Vibratory Chemistry ( Tantra )

Vedanta deals with Absolute Being or Sat. Tantra, on the
other hand, deals with Tat, which is both Absolute Being and
Relative Being, or Being absolutely Relative and relatively
Absolute. Creation is the play & display of Cosmic
Intelligence and this Intelligence is defined as Tat in
Tantra.

Astrology & Quantum Medicine

Quantum or Holistic Medicine emphasises that the Whole is
greater than the sum of its parts and that the patient who
has the disease is more important than the disease of the
patient! It is linked to Astrology in the sense that both
deal with the Universal and are branches of Universal
Philosophy. Quality content about Western Holistic Medicine
