* Available Jyotiṣa Services/ Vedic Astrology Services and Analyses People have felt and are going to feel numerous changes in life due to the altered transit positions of crucial planets, Mangal/ Mars from Karkata/ Cancer to Simha/ Leo, and Shani/ Saturn from Kanya/ Virgo to Tula/ Libra in November, 2011. Mangal has been Neecha/ debilitated in Karkata Rashi/ Cancer and there was a Tattwa/ elemental conflict during that transit due to the fact that Mangal is an Agni Tattwa Graha or a planet with fiery element while Karkata/ Cancer is a water sign. Mangal’s fire was sought to be doused by the water in Karkata and the water of Karkata was simmering due to the fire of Mangal leading to repressed anger, irritability and a general loss of verve. Mangal is the strength of the Kalapurusha and its debility had sapped people of the strength and initiative to act which comes from Mangal. Apart from certain combinations where the debility of the malefic Yogakaraka can be a good thing, this...

* Available Vedic Astrology Predictions, Services & Analyses/ Jyotiṣa Services & Analysis Mercury/ Budha is a Chañchala Graha who likes to play, experiment and exchange information. It is also impressionable and its results in horoscopes depend on its associations. At this time is is retrograde in Pisces/ Vakra in Mīna Rāśi (Meena Rashi). The question is why does Budha get Nīcha (Neecha)/ debilitated in Mīna Rāśi (Meena Rashi). Mīna Rāśi (Meena Rashi) is the Swakṣetra (Swakshetra) / own sign of Gurū/ Jupiter and being the last sign in the zodiac rules emancipation. Budh is an adolescent planet indicating Kumārāvasthā/ Kumaravastha. It finds its playfulness bereft of a field of play since Mīna Rāśi (Meena Rashi) governs the wisdom of the Mahaṛṣīs/ Maharshis, and there is no scope for playfulness, verbosity and investigation. When Budh's significations have no chance of flowering it feels Nīcha (Neecha) /debilitated. We must note that this is a Graha which feels like ...

On 14th of August, 2012 Maṅgala moves to Tulā Rāśi after spending considerable time in Kumārī Rāśi where it was joined Śani for a long time. It joins Śani again in Tulā Rāśi. Relationships will suffer inflexibility. Maṅgala is far from the best planet for Tulā Rāśi ruling the opposite sign of Meṣa from there. It is opposed to the social and decorum-ruled domain of Tulā. Maṅgala is a rough and ready planet and with Śani it enters into battle there. It receives the Rāśi Dṛṣṭi or the sign aspect of Gurū and Ketu from Vṛṣabha Rāśi, another sign ruled by Śukra/ Venus and the aspect of Gurū is a great positive for this combination which is happening here. Maṅgala and Śani can give a warrior Yoga of fearlessness to be found in the horoscopes of army generals and the like. It gives an inflexible will and great rigidity in action. If such attributes are required by natives in any area of life to be gauged from the relevant parts of the horoscope, then this is the time during which to pus...

Śani/ Saturn has already retrograded back to Kumārī Rāśi/ Kanyā Rāśi/ Virgo, having previously gone ahead to Tulā Rāśi/ Libra. It will remain in Kumārī Rāśi till December, 2012. Mars has been in Leo and Maṅgala is also moving to Kanyā Rāśi on June 21, 2012 . This combination in Gocara/ transit cannot be said to be good in any manner or means. Firstly, Śani and Maṅgala are bitter enemies at the Naisargika level of natural relationships. Even temporally they become completely opposed at the Tātkālika level due to Yuti or conjunction in the same sign. The compound relationship which results is bitterly inimical. The situation is problematic and difficult because Śani is the worst planet when it comes to Kanyā Rāśi-Kanyā is purity while Śani is impurity. Maṅgala is not much better with its portfolio of the 3rd and 8th Houses from Kanyā and becomes very malefic. With people having malefics in the nativity in this sign, there will be two malefics transiting this sign over a nata...

Budha is Vakri during July, 2012 and becomes direct only on 8th of August, 2012. There is a lot of confusion about Vakra Grahas. This is because they do not follow the direct path of the luminaries, Ravi and Cañdra, but instead follow the reverse motion of the nodes of the Moon-Rāhu and Ketu. They are known to give unusual results and indicate deep desires from past lives when they are found in a nativity. However, this paper is about the retrogression of Budha during the month of July, 2012 and the first week of August, 2012. Budha retrograde is known to cause snafus in communications, telephony, internet usage, writing, the spoken and written word and understanding such communication between parties. Therefore, surface transactions, deals, remittances and despatches may be returned because retrogression is backward motion. Currency notes may be found kept backwards in wallets and storage spaces. Caution may be exercised while backing up the car because it may cause an error in j...
