The 'Penny Dreadful Attitude' and 'Lifestyle' Studied Through Vedic/ Indian/ Hindu Astrology


PENNY DREADFUL:

Avoid it like the plague if you have a strong Lagnesh and/ or Surya. Have you ever seen a glorious king begging or counting his largesse. Except for some Lagnas and Lagna Lords,this would be good advide if the Lagnesh is with full Digbala in the Rashi Chakra or in Deeptawastha. Likewise for the strong Atmakaraka.

There is a reiteration of the caveat hereinabove enunciated: do not attribute the glory to separate 'I' but have it fed from the Source.

LIFESTYLE:

Surya is the Naisargika Karaka for Jyotish and thus when Surya is strong in a spiritual chart where the Atmakaraka associates with the 11th Bhava from the Lagna (4th from the 8th: learning of the occult, secret and the esoteric), then Jyotish Jnana is strong.

This knowledge will emerge in a Gochar where the Great Luminary is exalted in Gochar or otherwise very strong. It may emerge as lectures (speech), papers and writing if Budh, the Naisargika Karaka is strong and through the Guru-Shishya Parampara if there is Sambandha between Guru and Budh in the radix. It will burn the Tamas and Sattwa will emerge.

Glory dissipates with Tamas. Glory arrives with Sattwa. In some cases absence of glory amidst Tamas is not noticeable due to Lagna rising and/ or the features of the Rashi Chakra/ Arudha Padas.

Rajas is the Guna of creation while Tamas is the Guna of destruction. Sattwa is the Guna of sustenance. Whatever of created by Rajas stands to be destroyed by Tamas and sustained by Sattwa. Since the Karaka of the Lagna is Sattwic and the Karaka of food is Sattwic, the Sattwa Guna is excellent for Lagna and the food. The body should be Sattwic and food should be Sattwic.

The image should be Rajasic. Fighting and competition are Tamasic. Wealth is sustained by Sattwic measures. ‘Those who keep wealth in their minds cannot keep it, those who keep it in their thighs (Dhanu/ Guru/ perspective/ Grace/ Sattwa) always keep it.'

The 6th Bhava is Danda and the 6th Lord will deliver the Danda/ punishment. If afflicting the Paka Lagna and the Lagnesh happens to be Sattwic, it will act as direct punishment to glory, body, shining, effulgence, purity, growth, Jnana, perspective, Jyotish and if afflicting also the Arudha Lagna or the 7th from it, the image and the emergence and participation of the image. Therefore higher attributes of Tamas Grahas are to be used. If Tamasic consumption is indulged in it will have direct deleterious impact on life (Lagna, Lagna Lord and the Bhava/ Arudha Padas involved.)

Stay clear. Avoid it like an epidemic, especially if some leeway is destined by virtue of involvement of Upachaya Bhavas and/ or lord thereof.

Have sweets and become fat. Yes. Madhur Swada, sweet taste. The taste of Brihaspati. It is a better alternative. It is the only alternative.

Deny ruinous temptation of the Badhak, Shashthesh, Ashtamesh. Adhere to Guru and the Lagna/ Lagna Lord. Follow the command of the Atmakaraka.

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...
