Newton's Laws of Motion & Vedic/ Hindu/ Indian Astrology


NEWTON'S LAWS OF MOTION AND JYOTISH:

Let us consider one of the laws. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Karmically, it may be. But we are concerned with partly free-willed action in the human realm.

It would be the opinion of this writer that this law should not be followed in the realm of Upachaya. Suppose another's action is negative. If the reaction is negative, there is a vicious circle created. Even worse, the Papa/ Kroora Graha reigns because of continuance of negativity. Choose another reaction which may not be either equal or opposite.

For this you may need:

(i) another Graha joined which can effectively enter the scene;

(ii) a strong Graha (Vakra/ Cheshta Bala) aspecting the relevant Yoga with Graha Drishti/ planetary aspect;

(iii) a strong Graha aspecting the Yoga with Rashi Drishti, which can effectively intervene (Cf. Parakrama Argala of Ketu on the Pada Lagna/ Surya in Bhagwan Shri Rama Jatak, setting right Varuna, exalted Shukra giving Virodha Argala to the Pada, with Rashi Drishti);

(iv) involvement of the Atmakaraka indicating alteration, improvement and other measures, rather than the same old, same old, of the equal and opposite;

(v) very importantly, the involvement of a strong Upachaya (s) for the exertion of free will and Karmic leeway.

The other rules of Jyotish apply squarely.

If you are lucky, you may wipe out all that challenges without a trace of Tamas. This can be viewed as a work in progress if encountered in life, just as Upaya for Panchanga Dosha, Shrapa, Sarpa Yoga, Kala Sarpa Yoga, Graha Malika Yoga etc.

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/...

Vedic Astrology: The Charakaraka Replacement and Its Impact

At its deepest core Jyotiṣa is at the driving centre of all Karma. Just like life, if properly appreciated as it must, it has the status of a full-scale on-going project of immense magnitude. Karma and Soul : The Lagna and the Bhavas reckoned from the Lagna in the Rāśi Chakra indicate the physical manifestation of life. In the Varga Chakra the Lagna and the Bhāvas indicate the personality and realities of that specific environment. When we speak of Karma we inevitably speak of the soul as it is the soul which must carry and exhaust the Karma through rebirth. Charakāraka - Matters pertaining to the soul are studied and deciphered through the Charakāraka in Vedic Astrology. The Charakāraka are the temporal significators (Naisargika Kāraka) for various matters at the level of the soul and the Karma. The Charakāraka are decided on the basis of longitude of arc traversed by the planets including minutes and seconds of arc, and sometimes fractions of seconds of arc. The Eight Cha...

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...
