Vedic astrology and the weekend ending September 20, 2015 - From a Vedic astrology perspective, it is little wonder that people have reported that the weekend ending September 20, 2015 has not been very comfortable. The Moon (Chandra or Cañdra) holds the chariot reins for this life, being the significator of the mind of the human being, and the Moon has been debilitated in Scorpio (Vrishchik or Vṛṣcika Rāśi). Transit Moon debilitated in Scorpio - The Moon further signifies the inputs and stimuli coming from society and participation of the being with the community. It also indicates the flow of events and the ebb and flow of emotions and feelings. In deep and inscrutable Scorpio, the Moon gets Nīca or debilitated as this is the 8 th sign of the natural zodiac and the Moon therefore becomes caught in the death-like situation in any horoscope irrespective of the Lagna rising, in the 8 th House. This is the Maraṇa Kāraka Sthāna placement for the Moon. Impact of the debilitat...

Mercury Retrograde in Virgo on September 17, 2015 - I have written at this website about the exaltation of Mercury in Virgo in Vedic Astrology sidereal transits and therefore must also address the fact that Mercury (Budha) will become retrograde late at night on September 17, 2015 and shall continue to be so till October 9, 2015. Retrogression - Retrogression or Vakra Gati of a planet is a situation where the planet is exerting heightened effort (three times the effort) and therefore indicates intensity of striving. Why does one strive? In order to get something. Why does one wish to get something? He does not have that thing or wants more of it. It is an expression of desire in any case and to this extent retrogression is like Rahu, the North Node of the Moon. It also indicates lack or refusal of something to occur and one keeps trying again and again, hoping for the result to come to pass. Retrogression is not desirable for these reasons although the planet becomes very ...

As you are aware we have been sending out a Newsletter, at certain intervals, to the consulters, subscribers and readers of this web resource. The archive of these Vedic Astrology Newsletters is now over a year old with the number of issues approaching ten. We find that owing to the use of diacritical signs to preserve the authenticity of the pronunciation of words in the Sanskrit and also owing to the image of the charts in the Vedic Astrology horoscope, some of your email inboxes never receive the newsletter at all.

The most recent Vedic astrology Newsletter titled   How Life Mirrors Karma in the Horoscope in Vedic Astrology  is now in circulation and can be read at- http://eepurl.com/by4Qqj . This paper is entirely comprised of practical application of the principles of classical Vedic astrology.  The horoscopes studied and elaborated on in this Newsletter include one with notable features in the career , prominently a Rajayoga , and how these positives play out against some other lesser combinations and placements in the charts. Very often we have instances of people wondering what makes someone tick and with pragmatic appreciation, convincing answers are simply not forthcoming. The simple reason is that truth lurks elsewhere, in the Yogas in the horoscope.  A horoscope with political aspirations and extant governmental connexions is also interpreted, even though the basic career is distinct from the two realms aforesaid. Impediments in statesmanship are identifi...

Mercury Exalted - The planet Mercury (Budha) is exalted in Virgo (Kanyā Rāśi or Kanya Rashi), reckoned in the Vedic astrology paradigm, till October 29, 2015 when it moves to Libra (Tulā Rāśi or Tula Rashi); irrespective of the Lagna (Ascendant) rising in the horoscope, the exaltation, or the state generally, of Mercury is always an important factor to be considered.   Exaltation - Exaltation for any planet is its strongest state in the horoscope and it becomes akin to Viṣṇu (Vishnu) capable of sustaining the individual par excellence in the matters that it signifies. Rationality - Budha or Mercury is the planet indicating the intelligence of the person in the Vedic horoscope, and is the archetypal student, almost always willing, able and keen to learn. It signifies rational thought which is a tremendous aid, certainly in formal learning, and in informal learning as well. Rationalism - After living on planet Earth for some time, we usually view (or should) an is...

Jupiter Transit in Leo in Vedic Astrology - Jupiter (Guru) is going to be transiting in Leo (Simha) Rashi from July 14, 2015 after its exaltation in transit in the signCancer (Karkaṭa or Karka) over the past year. It continues to be in a friendly sign, as Leo is ruled by the Sun and the two planets are naturally friendly to each other. Astrological Jupiter - Jupiter is a slow-moving, outer planet likeSaturn and its transit has great influence over human affairs. Being the greatest benefic in the zodiac, Jupiter represents divinity in any horoscope and traditionally this is used to see blessings coming to individuals. Owing to the speed of its motion, its effect it felt in a concentrated manner over defined areas for a notable length of time.  Aspects - Slow-moving outer planets are bestowed with special planetary aspects (Graha Dṛṣṭi or Graha Drishti) and the blessings of Guru (Jupiter) come through its own special aspects. While all p...
