PAC Memory Tablet (Position Aspect Conjunction)


Illustration 1    Illustration 2     Model Exercise 2

Remember that first leg of the Memory Tablet PAC is P. How this P is applied is being shown here. After this try ony other horoscope. Why you must start with P first?

1. Remember by doing P you start your astrological adventure of collecting information, intelligence and clues about the lord of each house of a horoscope. A particular lord may be excellently placed while another may be in a bad condition.

2. Now you begin to see that life is never a story of all round joy or total sorrow.

3. But P is only the opening chapter of a seven layered story of your life which this book will teach.

4. So prceed patienty first doing intensely this exercise.

Instructions

There is no book on Hindu astrology in which such tables have been given to over-simplify the understanding of aspects and earlier, of friendships and enmities of planets, as here. It has been done mainly with the intention to help people avoid memorizing. The traditional subject, late in their lives, and have no capacity to memorise. When learning through rote memory is not possible, what is surely possible is to learn through associative memory.

My Advice

1. Never start the analysis of any horoscope without applying the Memory Tablet coined by me to make learning of astrology easy, methodical and scientific.

2. As you will see in the given example of John F Kennedy, the tragedy of his career is well explained by wrong placement of many lords of different houses.

3. You can develop your own astrological skill when you apply the first of two Memory Tablets, I am teaching and keep reapeating it... the first limb of PAC is P.

The astrological PAC is meant to control anarchical and chaotic analysis of a horoscope. P(position) A(aspect) C(conjunction)

Therefore I have evolved a memory tablet, the first part of which is PAC – P stands for the position a planet has occupied in a horoscope. Instead of taking fragmentary, confused and unsynthesized view, it is better, to proceed systematically so that you are able to arrive at a meaningful conclusion.

In all horoscopes first of all see how the lord of a particular house is placed.

Therefore let me read a sermon to you first of all, a dangerous sermon, which if you remember, you will not take a fragmentary, muddle-headed and jumbled view of a horoscope.

Sermon No. One 

1. Hindu astrologers are in the habit of referring to what they think are classics with infallible principles and they turn them into dogmas. They invite disaster.

2. Hindu astrologers are in the habit of turning these dogmas their predictive base. They invite greater disaster.

3. Hindu astrologers are in the habit of using this predictive base for a negative prediction. They create fright in the hearts of their clients.

4. Hindu astrologers are in the habit of creating gloom through their readings and a gnawing feeling of fatalism. They have done no research of their own. What they mistaken for classics, provides them a protective cover through a Sanskrit quotation. It is sheer lack of commonsense and sanity. They must know how to judge a horoscope, without being dependent on what they think is a classic.

Let me give a case study here.

A very well established American woman insisted on having a reading by me after hearing me speak. My style of reading surprised her. Her problems which could be seen in July 1995 when I did the reading for her were:

1. It was Venus-Mars period when she had been having land dispute.

2. She is a devoted wife and had made anxious inquiries about her husband’s health. I told her that with the best medical facilities available in her country, she should get him checked properly.

Note : She had taken readings from some Vedic astrologers in India and the USA and had felt that Hindu astrology stressed negativity. I talked of the pleasant events of her life and counselled her to have proper medical check up

for her husband. She came out, and waving her hands, remarked, ”the wall between me and Vedic astrology has vanished from today.” This extreme reaction is explainable.

In the western astrology they have no ability to predict events. Those who have learnt Hindu astrology and practise it in the west, particularly also do only psychological reading as they avoid predictive side, though they have picked up some rudiments of it by 1996. It will take at least a decade for them to acquire some standard.

In the meantime, to 'play their astrological trade', they will do more of astro-psychologizing than emphasise the predictive side. There is also a good reason for it. In the USA you can be sued for anything. Though astrology is not recognised as a profession, and treated as an 'entertainment' in USA.

The Hindu astrologers she referred to in the USA and India predicted a disastous marriage whereas I straightaway congratulated for a long and good marriage inspite of being an American where the divorce rate is very high. I traced her career pattern from that of a dancer to an author.

But I had nothing good to predict for her husband. I toned it down considerably. She felt happy and relieved mainly because herr career pattern and happy married life is what many astrologers cannot see because their attention will be rivetted on negative factors in the horoscope only. Her prejudice against Hindu (Vedic in the USA) was very strong.

If you do not evolve a scientific method of the analysis of a horoscope, you will either bluff or stress negative factors as Hindu and now Vedic astrologers of the USA, can, and do. The art of syntheis and the greater art of searching the light that can be seen even in a gloom is what Hindu astrologers cannot develop inspite of a great predictive astrology.

The reason is the dogmas filled in their minds by a cluttered reading of books of astrology, without any intelligent assimilation. I told her that Hindu astrology known as Vedic astrology in the USA was in a very rudimentary form. In India, Hindu astrologers, who were good, would not overcome their habit of negative readings for many more decades.
