Grahas/ Planets in Meṣa (Mesha)/ Aries


While the Sun has transited out of Aries and into Taurus, the nodal shift, contrary to the belief held by those who adhere to the true position of the Nodes, has not yet occurred. This piece is being composed in the second fortnight of the month of May, 2011.
All of Jupiter/ Guru, Venus/ Shukra, Mercury/ Budh and Mars/ Mangal are in siderial Aries/ Mesha at this time.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and governs the head. It indicates rulership, initiative and drive. Ambition, sharpness and aggression come from this sign ruled by Mars. The host of planetary forces in this sign show the effects of all these energies leading to an initiation of fresh plans and ambitions. There is a huge blessing due to the joining of the three benefics in this ign and even the lord Mars is at work in its Moolatrikona sign where its logical acumen is sharpened.

The transit Moon is debilitated in Scorpio/ Vrishchik and thus the emotions and feelings are frayed with repressed anger and violence. Emotions are swirling at a depth and are not able to find release. It is only for those who are accustomed to the depths of the mind and do not become startled at these changes, that such Gochar does not have a deleterious impact at the outset.
The Moon is completely battered as on 17th May, 2011 due to the Graha Drishti/ planetary aspect of Shani/ Saturn and also the malefic aspect of Mangal/ Mars from Aries. Further, the Sun also aspects the Moon. For those who have such Karma to face yet this could bring a notable sense of melancholy and exclusion to the mind along with irritability and anger.
Many people have said the Moon is conjoined Rahu in Scorpio but such is not the case because the Nodes are yet to change signs. Karma is certainly at a crucial juncture because the nodes are in Gandanta, at the junction of the fire and water signs and therefore this adds to what is happening at this time.
Saturn is retrograde and therefore it has to fulfil its agenda, depending on what it is for each nativity. It could well be a work-related situation driven by self-interest and the survival instinct or something designed for pragmatic self-betterment with ponderous calculations. It could be anything involving the significations of Saturn. So too, the impact of Mars can be worked out.
However, what is of great importance is that the setting in which all this occurs is not at all adverse due to the sign aspects of the great benefics to the Moon from Aries. Only rashness and anger may be avoided.
Much depends on where Aries and Scorpio fall in a given nativity.
The effect of the benefics gives learning, knowledge, wisdom, erudition, an eye for detail, luxurious settings and such significations.

Transits of Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu in 2025 in Vedic Astrology

Spring and summer of 2025 will be marked by notable shifts in transit of the slow-moving planets, Guru, Shani and Rahu-Ketu.  Important transits have the capacity to modify the results of the Dasha. In Vedic astrology/ Jyotisha, therefore, the two phenomena have to be examined together.  Jupiter/ Guru will move to Mithuna Rashi/ Gemini on May 14, 2025 and immediately thereafter the Nodes of the Moon, Rahu and Ketu also transit to Kumbha/ Aquarius and Simha/ Leo respectively. Shani/ Saturn will move to Meena Rashi/ Pisces on March 29, 2025.  Broadly speaking, in highly beneficial Dashas, positive transits lead to an icing on the cake situation, while negative transits can dampen the results or even negate them for a while. The effect can be construed accordingly for adverse Dashas, and so on.  It is well-known that Shani is the only Graha who gives added difficulties when He is strong. But a weak malefic is not to be desired because He becomes far more malefic. In oth...

A BRIEF LOOK AT THE TWELVE LAGNAS/ ASCENDANTS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY

People are often curious at the beginning of their astrological quest, to know something of the various facets pertaining to their ‘chart’; in other words, they wish to evaluate the basic propensities pertaining to their Lagnas and their Rashi/ Lagna Kundalis (Kundalis). Also, the Chandra Lagna itself and Gochar furnish other popular areas of curiosity. Lagna is the sign rising on the Eastern horizon at the time of birth and is occupied by a Rāśi (Rashi)/ Vedic sign. The average duration of a sign rising in the Lagna/ Ascendant is two hours and for this reason the twelve Rāśis cover the twenty-four hours duration of the solar day. ( Basic Jyotiṣa principles can be accessed by clicking this link ) Lagna imbues a person with individuality and therefore denotes the self and the personality of the person. It is the first house or Bhāva of the chart and is the commencement point of any horoscopic study. We cannot forget that in all the divisional charts as well there is a Lagna/...

The Forthcoming Transit/ Gochar of Saturn/ Śani to Libra/ Tulā Rashi on 15th November, 2011

At the present time, when Saturn/ Shani is transiting Virgo/ Kanya Rashi according to the siderial zodiac, we have witnessed many changes, some of them being related to the disturbances in the Prithvi Tattwa, as shown by the earthquake in Japan and the consequent Tsunami. Mercury/ Budh has been debilitated in Pisces/ Meena Rashi at this time but it is equally important to note that Virgo/ Kanya is also a Prithvi Tattwa Rashi or a sign embodying the Earth element. The trine of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn/ Vrishabh, Kanya and Makar relates to Artha/ financial and monetary element relating to the trine of attainment in work, the accumulation of wealth and the daily work and adversities to be encountered. Shani in Kanya has revealed some of the realities associated with this sign by pressuring the matters associated with it. The chart for the transit of Saturn Implications of the Saturn Transit in Virgo in Virgo is given below:   Saturn is also retrograde and aspects the debilitated M...
