That is what we aspire to, the warrior’s journey.
Leaping, being thrown out of the nest, going through the initiation rites, growing up, stepping into something that’s uncertain and unknown”.

Cycles of destruction and rebirth. The FORM of the essence of the house is systematically replaced. These cycles operate continuously during the lifetime.
It is essential to appreciate that Randhrabhava = Death and Rebirth!
Under the influence of randhra apertures openings, the cycle typically involves destruction of previous life-force container and rebirth of the life force (soul essence) into a new container.
The nature of the shock can be characterized by the Graha and its lordships, significations, and other qualities. Each recurrence of the period of the randhresha – 8th may be defined by the angle of the randhresha – 8 to the mahadasha pati / Lord.
If the native is scheduled for a mahadasha of the randhresha-8th , the very first double bhukti is particularly distinguished by several emergencies. Also, the angle of the randhresha-8th relative to Chandra lagna is very influential in determining one’s emotional response to life path shocks.
Ultimately there is nothing to fear and no justification for anxiety in anticipation of Vimshottari bhukti of randhresha-8 . The experience is determined almost entirely by how one reacts to sudden, unpredictable emergence of previously hidden force and the subsequent demand to re-invent, re-generate, and re-new the identity.
The perception of suddenness occurs when the native is unprepared or unguided during the event.
The perception of sudden or shocking transformation may be converted into the perception of knowledgeable observance of the changes. This perceptual conversion is available through many varieties of Tantric education.
Tantra is the practice of perceptual transformation. Tantric education includes training in emergency medicine, trauma response, forensic science, midwifery, psychiatry, and Tantrik healing. There are also many other disciplines that specialize in tracking the movement of energy from One material form into another material form,
there are many ways to manage human response to the turning of the wheel of birth and death. Matters of bhava-8 are inherently hidden from public view, but matters of bhava-8 are not inherently dangerous or frightening.
The proper perspective on matters of bhava-8 is focused awareness and cautious intervention from a foundation of both Instinct and Skill.
