The Sense of Insecurity

Sense of insecurity is for those who care for the results. Those who never care for the results will never be insecure. आशा हि परमं दुःखं नैराश्यं परमं सुखम्. If you read about Sun in Indian astrology you will find that Sun signifies Atman (आत्मा). Atman is the truth ultimately and not this body hence; Sun signifies truth. When a person is closer to Atman, knowingly or unknowingly, he is not worried about the results.

Sun rises and sets every day however; during some days the clouds are so dark that the people on earth might not be able to see the Sun even during the midday but that doesn’t mean Sun would stop shining. Sun knows that he himself created those clouds and those clouds, no matter how dark they may be, are important for life of others. He is concerned about the welfare of everyone which is why he is the King of all planets.

Sun signifies confidence. Sun signifies fame. Also, the Sun can be analyzed for discipline, enthusiasm and dignity. When Sun is weak in a horoscope it is quite possible that the low confidence levels of the person would make him feel insecure. I know a lady who is not very highly educated but makes decent amount of money in what she does. It is always interesting to see her confidence level while dealing with people but I believe those instincts can’t be taught. It comes from inside.

She has Sun in Scorpio in the ascendant and third house under the aspect of Mars in her horoscope. As much as I know her, she is full of courage and believes in Karma rather than just sitting and planning. A person with strong Sun in horoscope would seldom feel insecure.  

Insecurity is with people who think too much. Fear of failure, fear of non-performance, fear of what the others would say, fear of what would happen in future etc. are some of the possible causes of insecurity.

Interestingly Saturn is the son of Sun and likes working under others. A person working for someone has to generally work as per the policies of his employer which may not necessarily be suitable to the nature of the individual. Sometimes it affects personal life as well causing extra stress and a person under stress might not behave in the best manner at all times. That is why Saturn should be studied for issues with managers, disrespect, depression, loss of service (job), problems in life, and financial concerns.

Mars is full of potential. It generally is not afraid of many things but sometimes it happens that Mars enters the corporate world and finds that things are not going the way they should be. He fights strongly but if it doesn't work then decides to quit.

Mars can perform best under a leader like the Sun or Jupiter. It can also manage well with Moon and Venus but with others it will struggle. A gentleman I know had an argument with his manager and he took no time to resign from his job. He was 48 years of age at that time. Later he was consulting astrologers but at that moment he did not think twice before resigning.

Moon is the planet that gives the tendency of over-thinking. Weak Mercury reduces the rational thinking ability of the individual hence; is also responsible many times in making a person unnecessarily judgmental. Moon and Mercury are two planets that can create issues out of nothing but when you tell the person; sometimes he is not ready to admit that he was over-thinking.

It all depends on how the planets are placed in the horoscope. Basic character of the person is developed at the time of birth and in the first few years. It will not change by listening to motivational speeches. However; it can change all of a sudden if the planetary combinations indicate something like that.

Note: “He” in this article could also be read as “She”.
