Amavasya Tithi-Moon and Sun joined in Virgo on 4th October, 2013

Amāvasyā/ Amavasya indicates the New Moon when the luminaries are joined in one sign/ Rāśi/ Rashi. This has many implications. Such a time has material implications and in India also marks the end of the Śrāddha Pakṣa/ Shraddha Paksha-the fortnight where the Pitṛs/ancestors are remembered and propitiated and leads to the Navarātri/ Navaratri-Nine Nights of the Devī/ Devi/ Goddess.

The New Moon brings new things as another cycle is commencing. This is a time of beginnings and initiations. It depends on Karma as to what is begun and what is ended. Even in nativities we find that births on the New Moon are fraught with great difficulties and it depends as to why these difficulties are there and what they lead to from case to case. Some may assimilate the problems and emerge as the favourites of the Goddess while others may find some dark path, with a darkened mind.

The Amāvasyā/ Amavasya is governed by Rāhu/ Rahu, the North Node of the Moon. It is inimical to the Moon/ Cañdra/ Chandra and hence the difficulties. Rāhu/ Rahu will play a very dominant role in the life of the native. The alleviation of the problems sometimes depends on the strength of Gurū/ Guru/ Jupiter as the two planets are antithetical to each other. And yet, we would do well not to judge. Without Rāhu/ Rahu a huge and significant part of creation is lost. We cannot be judgmental of Grahas. Rāhu/ Rahu is Tamas Guṇa/ Guna Graha while Gurū is Sattwa Guṇa/ Guna.

If Jupiter is very strong in the nativity then subject to a host of other facets in the horoscope, the difficulties can be tided over and the person may emerge as being the favourite of the Goddess. Otherwise, onerous times have to be undergone and suffering entails. The Tithi, just as Kṛṣṇa Caturdaśī/ Krishna Chaturdashi is flawed and thus remedial measures are required as per the Śāstra/ Shastra/ scriptures.

The transit chart/ Gochara Chakra is extracted below for the reference of the readers-



 
 
 
 
 
We can see there are no full planetary aspects on the conjoined luminaries. The impact of Virgo/Kanyā Rāśi/ Kanya Rashi is therefore quite pronounced. The sign relates to work and the yielding of gains from work. It requires putting the head down and working. This experience is not easy but forms the backbone of the modern working world. It harbours ambitions which are fanned by the materialistic Moon and Sūrya/ Surya, the governor of all resources in the world as the Āditya/ Aditya.
 
It is for some of the foregoing reasons that the Financial New Year starts on a New Moon in Hindu India and also why Lakṣmī/Lakshmi is worshipped on the New Moon on Dīpāwalī/ Deepawali. It is a state of lack leading to a state of abundance.
 
There is the Rāśi Dṛṣṭi of Gurū/ Guru to the Yoga which ensures that blessings are  coming in a big way especially for some natives born in this Yoga if the horoscope should so indicate. Further sign aspects indicate fated and deterministic influences and the positives will come from writing, communications, banking transactions, friendships and acquaintances etc.
 
While Venus/ Śukra/ Shukra is also transiting out to Scorpio/ Vṛṣcika/ Vrishchika that has to be the subject of another paper.

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/...

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...
