Question asked by Kenny
Hello Pastors!
I have question about:
I had check some Tibetan Astrology Site about our marriage but the results come out quite bad and not good for us to marriage as a couple.
I'm quite sad and I don't know what to do.
What's we can do to resolve this? Or what should we think to calm our worry?
Thank you so much.
Dear Kenny,
Thank you for your question. Tibetan astrology is only a guide. Within the Buddhist system, astrology shows the general manifestation of how karma has manifested for a person. But that does not mean it is set in stone. On the contrary, things can change. That is due to karma. Karma is not fixed, it can be changed, purified, exhausted or overpowered by other types of karma or spiritual merits. That is why in Tibetan astrology there are always methods proscribed to overcome a particularly negative astrological situation.
If the calculator you used was a genuine one, they should have given advice about what to do in the exact situation. If they did not here is some general advice that can be used to make the situation better:
Marriage or being in a relationship with someone takes effort, care and affection. The main way to ensure a good relationship and overcome negative astrological influences is actually through our own effort and transformation. We cannot remain the same as we are now, otherwise the outcome predicted by astrology will come true. If we put effort into transforming ourselves to be better people and actively working on creating a lasting and open relationship, due to our effort we will be successful in creating a good relationship. You create the karma to be successful through your own efforts. Tsem Rinpoche has given an incredible teaching called “Ingredients for a Successful Relationship”, you can watch the teaching here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/students-friends/ingredients-for-a-successful-relationship.html
In addition to that, there are certain practices you can engage in to help counter negative astrological effects.
Generally speaking, Green Tara is extremely effective in help to create the best conditions for familial harmony and good relationships. You can set up a small altar to her in your house, make offerings and engage in her practice.
However, if you want to be more specific you can engage in the practice of your birth deity. This is a deity that you have an affinity due to the time of your birth. If you don’t know your birth deity, you can find out here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/tibetan-astrology/tibetan-astrology.html.
Alternatively, you can engage in the practice of a Dharma Protector such as Dorje Shugden. You can also engage in either the practices of Trakpo Sumtril or Black Manjushri who are very effective in helping overcome negative astrological influences.
Deity practice will help on the spiritual side to overcome this, but remember that they are aids to the main method which is transformation of ourselves and actively working to create a good and lasting relatationship. If you have any other questions about this, please do let us know.
