The Natural Disaster in Uttarakhand-Moon in Virgo/ Kayna Rashi and Libra/ Tula Rashi

The Himalayan Indian State of Uttarakhand has suffered a massive setback with huge rains, floods and landslides in the upper reaches of the Kedāranātha Jyotirliṅga/ Kedaranath Jyotirlinga, starting from Rudraprayāga/ Rudraprayag.

This has happened mostly on the night of the 16th of June, 2013 and the morning of 17th of June, 2013. We can readily see the causes of this Act of God with the techniques of Vedic/ Hindu/ Indian astrology. The Hindu horoscope for the time when the worst down-surge of water came down from a lake right above the Kedāranātha Temple is given below-


 
 


The Moon is in Rāśi Saṅdhi and has entered the sign of Kanyā/ Kanya/ Virgo which is associated with natural disasters as Mercury/ Budha the lord rules the Pṛthwi Tattwa (earth element) and all natural disasters can be traced to it. Another reason is that planets transiting Virgo are enroute to the airy worlds of Tulā Rāśi/ Tula Rashi/ Libra which is completely overwhelmed with the airy/ windy Śani and Rāhu (Shani and Rahu/ Saturn and Rahu) which embody the Vāyu Tattwa.

Not only was the Moon in a heightened state of agitation with the Rāśi Saṅdhi/ Rashi Sandhi it was agitated with the awareness of the impending Libra and not just that but the Śrāddha Yoga of Śani and Rāhu. All the departed, and thousands are believed to have died in the floods and the glacial release, will find leaving this world a hard task with the Śrāddha Yoga.

Śrāddha Yoga will necessitate that remedial measures are undertaken by the surviving members of the families and appropriate rituals for the departed are duly performed because this calamity has had an impact also on the temple, the Jyotirliṅga itself. Kedāranātha/ Kedaranatha is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas in India, and corresponds to Kumbha/ Aquarius Rāśi/ Rashi.

The damage around this Jyotirlṅga/ Jyotirlinga clearly indicates the influence of the Śrāddha/ Shraddha Yoga since both Śani and Rāhu/ Shani and Rahu, the lords of Kumbha are constituents of the Śrāddha Yoga. However, the deity and the temple, the Garbhagṛha/ Garbhagraha are entirely undamaged. Even Naṅdī/ Nandi within is intact. The reasons for this range from the pragmatic-large boulders and stones and rocks came down with the floods and stopped at the back of the temple, diverting the speedy, devastating currents to either side of the temple...to those rooted in devotion to the Hindu way of life-the magic of Śivā/ Shiva, the strength of India Vāstu Śāstra/ Vastu Shastra to the excellence of the architecture.

Here, we simply record our gratitude to Śiva and let it rest at that.

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...

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/...

The Forthcoming Transit/ Gochar of Saturn/ Śani to Libra/ Tulā Rashi on 15th November, 2011

At the present time, when Saturn/ Shani is transiting Virgo/ Kanya Rashi according to the siderial zodiac, we have witnessed many changes, some of them being related to the disturbances in the Prithvi Tattwa, as shown by the earthquake in Japan and the consequent Tsunami. Mercury/ Budh has been debilitated in Pisces/ Meena Rashi at this time but it is equally important to note that Virgo/ Kanya is also a Prithvi Tattwa Rashi or a sign embodying the Earth element. The trine of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn/ Vrishabh, Kanya and Makar relates to Artha/ financial and monetary element relating to the trine of attainment in work, the accumulation of wealth and the daily work and adversities to be encountered. Shani in Kanya has revealed some of the realities associated with this sign by pressuring the matters associated with it. The chart for the transit of Saturn Implications of the Saturn Transit in Virgo in Virgo is given below:   Saturn is also retrograde and aspects the debilitated M...
