I was looking at some videos on youtube and came across one about success. Shortly said the essence of the video was that when you get success in life depends on the strenght of sun and mars. As a person with a weak sun and mars i definitely didnt enjoy hearing it.For me in particular success is most important in the areas of career(music), relationships especially intimate and reputation.With such positions of the sun and mars does it mean that if i have success in any of those or other areas it would come later in life or are there also other important things to look at
Dear Booboo,
Sorry for the delay in addressing your question.
The extension of such thinking/tenet as seen by you on the said video would be that:
a) Success in life is ONLY destined for those whose sun and mars are 'strong'
b) All successful people would have both sun and mars 'strong'
c) All unsuccessful people would have both sun and mars 'weak'
You should perhaps examine charts of significantly successful and unsuccessful people to see if b or c clearly differentiate the two categories. For initial clear screening, the 'significant' is important categorization factor. Both b and c charts should be from the same field of success or lack thereof to avoid confounding of influences by mixing up criteria (for success etc).
Secondly, you should pick a different category of endeavour for comparison and see if the rules work in those cases as well. This will serve to confirm the reproducibility and validity of the sun-mars rule.
Thirdly, you may wish to see if the timing of peak of success is related to sun-mars directly or indirectly (dispositorship, nakshatra dispositorship, association of sun-mars with planet ruling the periods etc.)
I realize that it sounds like some work on your part, but if the video is causing you concerns and discomfort and understandably so, at least you will have gotten something tangible after your effort, to hang on to and not wonder and worry about it.
The same procedure would apply generically to other rules should you run into in future, which I can assure you -- you will, should you continue with your interest in astrology (which I commend you highly for)!
Love and Light,
Rohiniranjan
