Some Thoughts on theTransit of Jupiter & Saturn in 2008-2009 in Vedic/ Indian Astrology



There have been queries as to when a detailed and elaborate paper on this subject shall be written. While that must wait, some thoughts are being placed here.

The first thought is that Guru/ Jupiter is now in Makar/ Capricorn and in this sign it is debilitated. This can have several important ramifications. If Guru is the Dashanath/ the ruler of the Mahadasha or the Major Periodicity operating then this can be significant as the blessing of Guru are likely to undergo a modification. Guru is unconditionally giving and even if powerfully placed in the nativity, its transit into Makar on December 9, 2008 will hamper the coming of wealth, auspiciousness and prosperity. If the native is running an adverse Antardasha and the Bhoga of the two is adverse, then this transit debilitation cannot augur well.

However, if Guru is powerful in the radix as stated above, and the chart is advanced in the terms of spiritual quest then this debility of Guru, can take the native away from conventional and respected oaths albeit only with a view to free the native from conceptions of purity. As musch else, this is dangerous and the elite must be cautious on this path. For the lesser developed nativity ethics and propriety must become major concerns and cautionary areas.

Something else must be mentioned here. Students and others would do well to watch for the Jaimini dictum, Tasmin Uchche Neeche Va Srimantah. Both exalted and debilitated planets can give great wealth. If Guru apart from its natural significations is promising financial abudnance then its transit debility could well be the door to a major windfall. Its debility may invite fallen people and those with intelligence issues, those overly Tamasic and those who swear by pragmatic functionality. Needless to say these qualities are not being equated.

As for Shani in 2008-2009 the Graha continues in Simha Rashi for now and for those with this Lagna, the chanting of the Batuk Bhairava Mantra is advised to protect health, ensure that Vata disorders do not get the better of the native and in order to maintain a positive attitude. The other information about the Gochar, Sade-Sati and Kantak Shani is elsewhere on this website.

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...
