I am currently meditating on a chart with retrograde exalted venus in the eighth house of leo ascendant, unaspected in D1.

Now retrograde venus will lead to unique ideas regarding pleasure, beauty & love, & less concern for the social amenities. They tend to put those they love to the acid test: “If I do x & y, will you still love me?” Can lead to some form of antisocial behavior as well. They may seek unconventional partners.

Experts(RR, Thomas, Rishirahulji etc. ), what would you think of this ?

Proj,

I am not an expert, for starters, never claimed to be one and hence shall not admit in this lifetime!

You are not the first one to say that, though! So I must be doing something wrong or giving the wrong impression or perhaps the threshold for becoming an expert must be really low these days!

And how do you manage to meditate and write an email to the forum at the same time? [You did use the PRESENT TENSE! <<currently meditating>> etc!]

And then thereafter you gave the answer too! Your solution??

RR,
       I copy and paste the definition of meditate from Meriam-webster's below. Meaning no 2, when used as an intransitive verb does not hold in this context.


intransitive verb    1  : to engage in contemplation or reflection   2  : to engage in mental exercise (as concentration on one's breathing or repetition of a mantra) for the purpose of reaching a heightened level of spiritual awareness  


transitive verb    1  : to focus one's thoughts on : reflect on or ponder over   2  : to plan or project in the mind : intend, purpose
synonyms see ponder


Not sure why you think someone cannot reflect, contemplate or ponder while typing, especially if the individual is a trained typist. Will it be clearer if I say, i was focusing all my thoughts on the retro exalted venus in the eighth house while typing out the post. I usually don't  need to look at the screen constantly as I type, at least in this case I was imagining something in my head and staring at the screen.

I did not understand what you meant by this line "And then thereafter you gave the answer too! Your solution??'

regards,

Okay -- I thought you were using 'meditate' in the sense that Maharshi people use with the gamma theta EEG!

yes to contemplation! Anytime! Mea culpa also!
