Vedic Astrology Forecast for June, 2015

The Vedic astrology forecast for the month of June, 2015 can be made without having to account for too much movement in the planetary positions. Just as we go into June, we find that Venus (Śukra or Shukra) has moved out of Gemini (Mithuna Rāśi-Rashi) and into Cancer (Karkaṭa or Karkata), joining Gurū (Guru or Jupiter) in the exaltation sign of the latter. This itself forms the Dwi-Gurū Yoga as the preceptors of both camps are together. While it is true they will both try in right earnest to have their say, and prevail, they are such great benefics that their impact on human beings is entirely welcome, the tussle notwithstanding. Also, Jupiter in exaltation is likely to prevail which is even better because Venus rules eye-catching significations in our lives, too much of which doesn’t serve any useful purpose. The chart just on the threshold of June is given below-   Cancer is about home and happiness, and learning. It also works very well for recup...

By relationships, as the term is used in this paper, is meant romantic relationshi...

The Subject of Food in Vedic Astrology- Planet Significations, Diets, and Remedial Measures

In this article, the subject of food is correlated with the planets and houses in Vedic astrology, extending amongst other things to dietary significations and methods of prescribing remedial measures involving food. WHY FOOD - Food is necessary for sustenance, in common parlance. As a necessity it is one of the biggest drivers in life. It is essential for the body or the Deha/ Tanu. SIGNIFICATOR OF FOOD - Moon (Cañdra or Chandra) is the Natural Significator or the Naisargika Kāraka for food in general, in Vedic astrology. It is also the Karaka for the mind, social interaction, fame and flow of things. The Moon is so important that it is treated as a Lagna in itself called the Janma Rashi (Jañma Rāśi) or the Chandra (Cañdra) Lagna. DIETARY POLICIES & FOOD BASED REMEDIES IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY - Why should there be any sort of awareness of a food intake policy or plan? If dietary policies are a valid metaphysical organisation, then adherence to...
