Your statement is very broad. I understand what you are saying. But for example I have seen Saturn's conjunction or aspect on the moon to cause depression and lack of self worth, or belief in one's self. By that I mean it becomes a defining characteristic of their experience. You could easily say, "who doesn't experience depression, sadness, or lack of self esteem from time to time." That is true, we all go through phases, but for some it's more persistent. Just like a musician is know by the fact he plays music every day, vs. the closet violinist who picks it up every 2 months and no one knows he plays the violin, it's in regards to consistency.
So while you are right, "Find me someone whose life wasn't subject to unforseen circumstances?"
Haven't you ever known people where that is the defining characteristic? Meaning, as in they always have some unforeseen drama going on? Also I noticed you disregarded my comment: " It created psychological confusion, phobias and fears, and made people subjected to strange unforeseen circumstances, more than other charts."
The focus is on phobias, fears and confusion and Strange unforeseen circumstances. An unforeseen circumstance like a car crash, is unforeseen, but it is not strange.
I don't disagree with you, that we all have this to a degree, but unless you had many clients with kala sarpa yoga and seen the consistent results, that are not there with clients who do not have, it your assertion that it is BS, is unfounded. I'm open to hearing your assertions based on the charts you've seen with Kala Sarpa yoga. I can find probably 10-15 (actual normal people who were clients) in my database, that have had the same consistent experience.
There is a strong sense of not wanting to be in the world. A predisposition to blowing things out of proportion in a major way, consistent fears and phobias that dominate their life, and suffering from a general sense that nothing the do can go right, or often they have many psychosomatic illness that no one can diagnose accurately.
I do think what a lot of people say about Kala Sarpa yoga needs to be modified based on the chart as a whole.
This is very much different, than other clients who don't have this as the consistent theme. Of course it also depends on where the Kala Sarpa yoga falls, on the 1/7 axis or the 4/10 axis makes it more dominant and in a person's life.
So whether we call it kala sarpa yoga, or just a strong nodal influence, the results are typically the same, at least based on my experience so far.
And it may not be that smart people look at astrology and say it's fake because of this. It may that principles are applied too broadly, and so they say it's fake because people just read off meanings of yogas, like kala sarpa yoga, or mahapurusha yogas, with out actually assessing the strength of the entire chart, and so fail in their assessment.
I know a lot of charts with mahapurusha yogas, but these are not great people. They are not even often above average, because the yoga is not strong, or it is "dead".
So please consider that saying Kala Sarpa Yoga is BS, is just like saying someone with an exalted Jupiter is going to have lots of money and be happy all the time. It depends on the rest of the chart. Broad sweeping statements don't help either side of an argument.
Again, with kala sarpa, that has been my experience, and that would not be something I would often say about other charts without that yoga, unless of course, the nodes were influencing in some other odd way.
