Body Image

Anorexia - Bulimia

Dysregulated Eating

some possible Jyotishavidya indicators

~~ Gayatri mantra

bio-body image, perfectionism = ruler of 1 + Rahu and Shani

food image, intake, distortion = ruler of 2 + ruler of 2nd-from-Chandra

Damage to the Body image which generates health disorders such as bulimia, anorexia nervosa, etc. is traceable to Shani and Rahu, in combinations with Shukra and Chandra.

karaka for contentedness and belonging within a sheltered place, Chandra signals emotional fulfillment.

If Learner believes for karmic reasons that one is not permitted to be fulfilled there may result a psychologically driven process of binge eating to have emotionally rooted experience of being filled-excessively followed by a purging to deny the completion of the fulfillment.

• UK-Princess 1961-1997 Diana Spencer suffered lifelong self-criticism and attempt to conform her appearance to lifeless mannequin status

[Chandra-yuti-Rahu] ruled by, conjuncted, or accepting drishti of Shani

Chandra-yuti-Ketu ruled by, conjuncted, or accepting drishti of Shani

may indicate vulnerability to public opinion along with possible lack of permission for emotional fulfillment.

Healing

Learners may correct this past-life based expectation within the current life by deciding to forgive the parents (Shani-Chandra) who have been unreliable protectors. In the context of acceptance of one's own deeper narrative, the decision to release grievances is big. It involves a subconscious intent to correct an imbalance-seeking-a-remedy remaining from parallel lives .

In the parallel life , one deprived another being (perhaps inadvertently) of shelter, protection, or the deep sense of belonging. In the present life, Jyotishavidya suggests that one of the parents - particularly the mother = emotionally unavailable or abandons the child.

possibly via premature dematerialization,

• On Golden Pond 1937- drama-fitness Jane Seymour Fonda tragic and gruesome suicide of bi-polar mother = JS age 12

or by abandonment

• UK-Princess 1961-1997 Diana Spencer After a hostile divorce, her mother left the home = DS age 4.

• Shani in 12th-from-Chandra . Deeply compounded by Chandra-yuti-Ketu ,

Wishing to rebalance one is born in the present life with the intention to balance the scales by experiencing oneself the lack of fulfillment, lack of reliable protection, and lack of feeling included.

After recognizing the pattern, one is ideally positioned to forgive oneself (first) forgive one's parents and caretaker s (second) and finally gain permission for fulfillment.

Slowly and carefully, of course, often supported by conscious Seva on behalf of those with less conscious and more painful conditions of the same general type.

Shani , lord of social law, regulates the social appropriateness registers and imposes conformity of thought, feeling, and physical appearance.

• the Learner who perceives one's physical appearance to be negatively judged will typically have a kundali that features a powerful Shani.

• Psychological experience of body image under social criticism includes: too dark, too bony, too fat, too pale, too short, too tall, etc. ad inf.

The disordered behaviors are understood as different expressions of"perfectionism" which is a compulsive rejection of all things not perfect. The native becomes self-rejecting as a response to the inner argument (6) which asserts that The Earthen-body appearance is not perfect and Therefore, it must be rejected.

Rāhu , karaka for disruption and passionate desire to "get to the top" is associated with impulsive, desire-driven actions designed to catapult the native to higher levels of social recognition and privilege.

Shukra-yuti-Rahu

produces striking physical attractiveness, but also a need to continually promote the value of Learner's own beauty and a relentless quest to push harder, higher, faster for more validation of the beauty.

• Shukra = the natural regulator of bhava-2 = food, value, and beauty.

• Thus Rahu + Shukra in the case of beautiful models and actresses is often associated with self-starvation disorders which results from Rahu's fierce quest for the contemporary western beauty-value: an unnatural and artificial [Rahu] combination of thin limbs with prominent bones combined with voluptuous breasts and thick lips.

• If combined with drishti of Shani, the self-deprecating results of 'food discipline' may be unbearably intense.

Typical Jyotishavidya placements for body-image dysregulation may include

• Chandra-yuti-Shani , Shani + lagna, or Shani + lagnesha

Lesser but still significant experience of being judged for body appearance =

• Chandra 6/8-from-Shani, lagnesha shad-ashtaka 6-8 from Shani, Shani in 6 or 8 from lagna.

Also a complicating factor indicating emotional volatility and desire to "leapfrog' to a privileged appearance (also cosmetic surgeries) =

• Chandra engaged with the Rahu-Ketu axis

Collapsing Ketu 's dissociation in conjunction with one of the body karaka = also a factor

• [Chandra-yuti-Ketu] , Ketu + lagna, or Ketu + lagnesha

Bulimia

In her early 30's, UK-Princess 1961-1997 Diana Spencer revealed to an interviewer that she had long suffered from bulimia.

DS eating disorder involved food gorging to the point of illness, followed by compulsive vomiting.

DS reported that via this syndrome, she felt the brain-numbing, mouth-pleasure of eating.

Then immediately, she deprived herself of the nutrient which might be absorbed by the intestinal process.

Thus a slender, fashionably boyish physique could be displayed -- even by a woman who had borne two healthy children and who ate heartily at public dinners.

Chandra-yuti-Ketu-4 = polarized against Kuja-yuti-Rahu-Simha-10 representing public image.

Mangala rogesha-lagnesha identifies body appearance with imbalanced digestion, and Rahu exaggerates the anxiety.

DS eventually sought treatment. Yet, until her untimely decease age 36, she remained focused on maintaining a fashion-model physique.

• Tightly controlled by her contract-bargaining father [Surya-1 rules-7] MLH was paid to visually represent [1] status-objects representing luxury lifestyle, such as perfumes, prestige youthful clothing, and beautiful consumer goods. Plus, minor roles in cinema-television [Kuja-10 rules 3].

• Unable to read legal contracts due to dyslexia [Soma-Aslesha-6] MLH signed as commanded. [MLH age 21] [EW age 35]
• Spouse = older businessman from unfamiliar background [12 = 7th-from-Chandra-6]

Sade-Sati [age 21-24] intensified feelings of blocked flow, oppressive caretaking duties + deprivation of expected emotional support

PTSD rises to the surface.

• Rather than provide parental caretaking [Chandra] as her father had promised [Surya-1 rules 7, oaths] husband-1 = taskmaster [Shani] + jailer [12] .
• Husband-1 imposed extreme food restriction [Shani restrict] in order to expose her facial bones [Makara bones].
• As a 22-yo wife trying to comply with her husband's rules, MLH developed severe bulimia.

MLH and her elder sister had been sexually molested by their father throughout childhood. Elder sister was institutionalized for psychosis.

• During the remainder of Shukra Mahadasha = Shukra 6/8-from-Chandra = MLH endured continuous untreated emotional-physical distress.

Responding to Chandra in Aśleṣa-6 need to articulate [Budha] deep emotional suffering and sorrow, MLH developed epilepsy, alcoholism, bipolar mood dysregulation, and bulimia.

• starting Shukra-Rahu bhukti [age 16]
• ending Chandra-Shani bhukti [age 40]

On Golden Pond 1937- drama-fitness Jane Seymour Fonda [visionary-charitable Aśleṣa-4] [8, transforming, exploring, identity-changes

= dysfunctional parents

The severe childhood trauma of her mother's suicide [JSF age 12] would have required JSF to develop self-regulatory coping mechanisms [Makara

Dad was unable to assist. Following JSF's abandonment via mother's bio-death, the perfectionistic narcissistic father marries again - and again - and again. [dad total = 5 marriages].

nīcha-Guru [2] generated a protective pattern of Bulimia which enabled the young woman to self-regulate her emotions.

= [nīcha-Guru-21 parivartamsha Shani-4] engaged the scarcity narrative of minimalistic Shani-4 = parents = = determined to shrink the bio-body by depriving it of nutrients [Shani scarcity]

• not enough food becomes a symbol of the unavailable parents

Durokaraka Shani

Despite the potentially debilitating effects of an eating disorder [such as organ damage] JSF endured the self-endangering [Chandra-8] syndrome without destabilizing her career [Budha-1= karmesha

The balancing, exchanging nature of parivartamsha yoga can fortify the Learner against even the most life-threatening circumstances, particularly when durokaraka Shani = the parivartamsha-partner.

Age, emotional maturity, and social respect would eventually provide sufficient structure, so that the need to self-regulate [Makara] by dehumanizing deprivation became increasingly unnecessary.

RECOVERY

JSF recovered from habitual self-punishment via the eating disorder

Yet, JSF remained very slender of physique = hyper-careful eater due to Shani-4 casts 10th-drishti into indriya-lagna = self-discipline.

Working steadily into her 80's [Shani-4 drishti into 1] JSF continues to participate in high-visibility events.

The food patterns did not disappear. Rather, the learning became conscious. JSF's bulimia and self-image journey became part of a conscious narrative of self-sustenance and self-protection -- which has now helped many thousands of her grateful followers.

~~ Joseph Murphy, ph.D. (1963). The Power of Your Subconscious Mind , p 38-39

" ... Motion and emotion must balance.

As in heaven [your own mind] so on earth [in your body and environment].

This is the great law of life."

You will find throughout all nature the law of action and reaction, of rest and motion.

These two must balance, then there will be harmony and equilibrium.

• You are here to let the life principle flow through you rhythmically and harmoniously.

• The intake and the outgo must be equal.

• The impression and the expression must be equal.

• All your frustration is due to unfulfilled desire.

If you think negatively, destructively, and viciously,

• these thoughts generate destructive emotions

• that must be expressed and frequently expressed as ulcers, heart trouble, tension, and anxieties,

What is your idea or feeling about yourself now?

Every part of your being expresses that idea.

Your vitality body, financial condition, friends, and social status

represent a perfect reflection of the idea you have of yourself

This is the real meaning of what is impressed in your subconscious mind and what is expressed in all phases of your life.

We injure ourselves by the negative ideas we entertain.

How often have you wounded yourself by getting angry, fearful, jealous, or vengeful?

These are the poisons that enter your subconscious mind.

You were not born with these negative attitudes.

Feed your subconscious mind life-giving thoughts

and you will wipe out off the negative patterns lodged within it.

As you continue to do this, all the past will be wiped out and remembered no more."
