A Spot of Original Thinking in Vedic/ Indian/ Hindu Astrology

It should be noted by those following astrology very closely for guidance in their actions, reflections in the Jyotish prism of what transpires, and the like, that experience while it occurs is acute and the flux of things does not permit simultaneous reflection on matters esoteric. Perhaps the more detached, more evolved can do it but generally the mind cannot do this. All of joy, suffering and concentration, all intense and captivating Chandra experiences, while they are happening preclude conscious attention to the Jyotish root, to destiny with all its layered fabrics.

This should be more so when the Moon at the given time transits a movable sign, because things happen more, quicker and in a more mobile fashion due to the Rajas Guna. In Tamas/ fixed signs if the natal chart has supportive Yogas one may analyse the flux since Tamas actions perhaps extremely fruitful like sustained research are nevertheless slower and afford the mind more scope for venturing into other areas. The dual/ mutable signs are characterised by Sattwa and therefore the peace must be inherently conducive to multitasking and intellectual versatility associated with the dual signs. There is the greatest scope for consciousness of many things here.

At the deeper level of destiny it can be understood thus. Happiness is a reprieve and destiny lets you simply live it without analysis. Pain and suffering are punishment and till a point Karma does not permit us for the mystic Jyotish root of the pain. Even the simple Gochar affliction to the Moon will not register with the mind till the pain is to be experienced. On reflection, most of the time, simple afflictions to the transit Moon can indicate the reflected Karma, unless of course the malaise is deeper. The mind does not seek explanation for happiness for such is the nature of the benefics. Only the genuine initiate, student, seeker will wish to know the source even of peace, happiness and contentment. Malefics make the Mind want to run and so at the first available instance of a solution-availability, a break from the Karma, one seeks answers.

Ultimately, one should know, all is destined. If Upachayas are involved one can attempt to play more but in the confines of the Graha placements in the Upachayas and the Yogas etc that characterise the houses 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th. The Yogas here are more amenable to free will.

It is often stated that the Gochar Moon should be studied. There are many confusions about studying the chart from the Chandra Lagna, for instance. The basic fact of the fast moving Moon governing important areas and events of actions is often overlooked. When these words are being written, there is a Gajakesari Yoga in transit in Aquarius and it is very conducive for positive events and width and expansive events to materialise if the other factors do not hinder this. This should be seen from the Arudha Lagna as well for it to show up in the realm of Maya and societal interaction.

The Chandra Kala Nadi principles of the trinal and 12th House Moon from any Arudha Pada works very well and if the Antardasha in a positive Tithi Pravesha Chakra supports then some meaningful events can transpire. There are reports that the Vimshottari Dasha works very well with Tithi Pravesha but this author finds the Tithi Ashtottari Dasha working very well in these horoscopes.
