Creating a Storyline with The Cycle of Six-Eight Patterns Thru out the chart
This is a good mental exercise to practice while learning how to connect the links and learn the karakas and their 6:8 relationships to each other under different scenarios. I was wondering how the 6:8 pattern would look if I actually DID connect the dots so to speak. So I drew up a natural Aries chart in the Southern and Northern formats and proceeded to count every house six houses away from it and connect it with a line. The house placements (randomly starting with the 7th), came to 7-12-5-10-3-8-1-6-11-4-9-2 and back to 7 once more. No matter what line you start from, you can trace it from beginning to end and it will either be 6 houses away or 8 houses away from its start. For example, starting at House 1, follow the line 6 houses forward to its 6th house location. (1-2-3-4-5-6). Once you get there, you can continue to follow it back to where it started in the 1st house, by counting forward 8 more houses. (6-7-8-9-10-11-12-1). And in this way, for every house, the 6:8 pattern looks like these two stars below, one for the Southern format and the other for the Northern format.
Geometrically, this all looks very pretty, but I wondered if I could create a full storyline, similar to the way I did with the ABCDE houses in Visual Two, except using just the cycle of 6:8's alone. This would base everything on the Karaka relationship between the A and the B houses, where the A house becomes the CAUSE and the B house becomes the EFFECT. The A house is the karaka for the B house and as such creates the situation that results in the bad or good effect that comes about in the B house. And if you want to go from B to A and move forward 8 houses, instead of 6, you are then in effect looking 'backwards' to see what caused the result being experienced in the B house from House A. When asking yourself "Why am I experiencing the results of House B?" you always look to its karaka to see the reason.
Next, I decided to create an imaginary storyline starting with the 7th house of marriage as a good starting point. Remember, every succeeding house will be 6 houses away from the one before it and will always be the result of the one before it. For example, let's just take the 7th and the 12th house only. Count forward (7-8-9-10-11-12). This equals 6 houses. Now return to the 7th from the 12th, always going in a forward motion (12-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-). This equals 8 houses. And in this way, you have your 6:8 relationship between each sequence of houses. So, building up my storyline, I created the following imaginary scenario:
7th house - I got married the other day.
12th house - We took a wonderful long journey to Hawaii for our honeymoon. . . the sex was great!
5th house - Due to the sex, we now have a child.
10th house - Due to the child, I now have much more responsibility as a parent.
3rd house - Because of the responsibilities I now have as a parent, I also have to learn to communicate in a brand new way with a little one running around the house.
8th house - Life is not as easy as it was before anymore. There are alot of hurdles and obstacles and challenges that I've had to overcome, but I know it's all a part of life.
1st house - Actually the hard times have served to build my character and have made me a better person than I used to be.
6th house - I have worked on myself to improve my social status in the world by getting better employment.
11th house - I've had much success and have not only increased my income, but have made many great new friends.
4th house - As a result of my increased income, I've built up my assets and possessions and have found great personal happiness as well with my home and family life.
9th house - Thru my personal happiness, I have gained much wisdom in my life and have now developed a creative and positive philosophy with which to live by that serves me much better.
2nd house - As a result of this, mostly what I've learned is that no matter how much money you make, or how successful you become, it's not worth a thing unless you have someone you love, most especially like family, to share it with.
7th house - And so I'm back to the 7th house where the daily life of day to day routines start over as each day gets better and better for me and the ones I love.
Now, this sample scenario can start with any house and from any different layer or perspective view. For instance I could've started my 7th house with a bad business partnership gone wrong (7th) that resulted in much money going out and nothing coming in (12th). This led me to start gambling (5th), which in turn affected my career (10th), etc. . . .OR I could've started at the 3rd house, or the 4th or 5th house and developed similar scenarios using various keywords and interpretations for each and every house. It makes no difference. In this fashion, every house will always lead right back to its starting point and completes its own 6:8 cycle.
The scenarios are endless and you can build up all sorts of 'cause and effect' relationships and that makes it much more fun to study the 6:8 patterns between houses and how each and every event as seen thru the Karaka house (A) becomes the trigger for the results that manifest in the focus House (B), whether good or bad.
