Karmic habits in Jyotish are essentially the positions of planets in the natal chart, which distort reality as these planets embody deep individual and collective habits. These collective habits are often difficult to perceive as they represent profound patterns of love projection.
Love is influenced solely by our inherited thought processes, which are stored in the planets. The relationships you've experienced are a result of your thinking and feeling, and do not necessarily reflect the reality of those relationships.
Just as colors exist only in our perception, karma exists only within us, with planets merely reflecting our own imprints. This holds true for love as well.
Your experiences are merely projections, and the dissatisfaction stems from limiting love to past experiences. Many fear stepping into something new, as it would require relinquishing their ego and the aforementioned imprints.
For instance, Ana had past relationships with famous partners, living under the belief that success equates to love. Even though many live by this pattern, in this life, her natal chart attracted and desired similar relationships.
After several consultations and numerous disappointments, she shifted to a different pattern, choosing a partner who matched her current reality. They had children and enjoyed a harmonious marriage, yet she missed the excitement and glamour from her past life. This led her to secretly reconnect with a man from her glamorous past.
The belief that we can live casually in this life without creating habits for the next is a significant misconception. When engaging with Jyotish and analyzing thousands of examples through consultations, this insight becomes clear.
You cannot deceive yourself, as all these experiences create unconscious layers that can drown you in a future healthy relationship. People easily revert to old habits, missing opportunities to learn through relationships. Consequently, individuals sink into destructiveness and a lack of self-confidence.
Your love life is fundamentally shaped by habits recorded in Jyotish. Free will lies in how we relate to this inheritance. We can either follow it and inflict pain upon ourselves or become aware of it and avoid entering emotionally charged patterns that lead to destruction, as seen in Ana’s example, who reverted to past behaviors.
As astonishing as it may seem, when addressing thousands of charts in consultations, the question isn't why but rather how much emotional pain a person will endure before breaking free from programmed behaviors. Most people do not engage with their emotions and are in love with projections, but for Western society, acknowledging this is challenging as it implies a primitive emotional development.
A society that claims to be modern simply by distancing itself from religion is, in fact, emotionally primitive, as evidenced by the 65% divorce rate in major cities. These are individuals who promised love to their partners but now pretend they never did, shifting the blame onto others.
A narcissistic society that undervalues commitment reflects an immature society, so enamored with itself that it cannot recognize existing patterns. Before condemning fate or a partner for a relationship's end, look into your own patterns; therein lies your answer.
