Dengue Fever in 2012-An Astrological Perspective


DENGUE FEVER IN 2012- An Astrological Perspective

 

The outbreak of Dengue fever has claimed the legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra who is renowned for his romantic and lively films which were regular blockbusters at the box office.

 

Dengue fever is caused by the bite of a mosquito and needless to say a mosquito is an insect called Kīṭa (Keeta) in the Saṅskṛt (Sankrit) / Hindi languages. in Jyotiṣa (Jyotisha) we have Kīṭa (Keeta) / insect Rāśis (Rashis) one of which is Scorpio/ Vṛṣcika (Vrishchika). This is also a watery sign/ Jala Rāśi (Rashi) and the dengue fever causing mosquito breeds in still and dirty water.

 

At this time this Kīṭa Rāśi (Keeta Rashi) is occupied by Rāhu and Maṅgala (Rahu and Mangal). There is a battle going on here and the Jala Tattwa within the body (blood-Cañdra-Chandra) gets debilitated in this sign. With just Rāhu (Rahu) there the Moon/ Jala in the body and in the world has been really suffering and with the onset of winter when it becomes too cold for mosquitos to breed, the problem will fade away. The astrological reason would be the movement of Rāhu (Rahu) out of Scorpio into Libra. Just as Maṅgala (Mangal) has moved in to this sign, prevention measures (security-Kāraka Maṅgala) (security-Karaka Mangal) have been heightened. Mars is friendly to the Moon at the natural level and will protect the Moon. Maṅgala is in its own sign while Rāhu (Rahu) is in Āyuṣa (Ayusha) debility;  the latter feature indicates that the problem cannot be long lasting and its longevity is limited.

 

Discipline (Mars) in maintaining the purity of water and not permitting it to stagnate (Āli/ Scorpio) would be the first step towards protecting oneself from the Kīṭa ((Keeta).

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/ asc

Yanavanta/ Annapurna/ Vahana Yoga of Venus and Moon in Scorpio-8th October, 2013

The Yānavaṅta/ Yanavanta/ Annapūrṇā/ Annapurna/ Vāhana/ Vahana Yoga is formed when Venus and Moon/ Śukra and Cañdra/ Shukra and Chandra associate to form a Yoga in the Vedic horoscope; by Vedic horoscope is meant the Rāśi Cakra/ Rashi Chakra and the Varga Chakra as well, the latter being the divisional charts governing specific areas of life such as marriage (Navāmśa/ Navamsha), career (Daśāmśa/ Dashamsha), children (Saptāmśa/ Saptamsha), parents and elders (Dwādaśāmśa/ Dwadashamsha), comforts and luxuries (Ṣodaśāmśa/ Shodashamsha), spirituality and worship (Vimśāmśa/ Vimshamsha), education (Siddhāmśa/ Siddhamsha) etc. Let us consider the immediate meanings of the various terms used to indicate the Yoga formed due to the association of Venus and the Moon. The term Yānavaṅta/ Yanavanta indicates the charioteer or one guiding the vehicle of humanity or a group or individuals. It indicates leadership and the capacity to show the way to the multitudes and to guide and mould their live

A METHODOLOGY FOR VEDIC CHART INTERPRETATION

The following is an attempt to lay down a general method to conduct professional chart analysis. It appears to have worked well for the author in his practice. Notably though, it need not be the best way to interpret charts and the astrologer must find her own way when it comes to developing a structure with which to unravel any given chart. Some of the more general features of interpretation are being omitted for fear of the paper becoming unwieldy but certain crucial aspects of Jyotish interpretation are being explained since these are not very widely used. The author is indebted to the works of Pt. Sanjay Rath, author, scholar and Jyotish Guru of Sri Jagannath Center. It is through assimilating the writings of Pt. Rath that the author has been able to progress from the fundamentals of Jyotish to a somewhat deeper understanding. ARUDHA PADAS: The houses as reckoned from the Lagna/ Ascendant reveal the truth about the native. This is metaphysical reality as distinguished from precipit
