On November 8, 2016, in the evening, a decision taken by the Central Government of India, in consultation with the Reserve Bank of India, to withdraw denominations of INR 500 and INR 1000 was made public through television media. The reasons, amongst others, which have been given, are that these denominations are used to finance terrorist activity through corersponding counterfeit currency, and hence the decision; also that these larger denominations are also used to carry out transactions in the parallel economy of black money, and hence the decision. In Vedic astrology, currency notes are governed by Mercury (Budha). Let us see the transit chart for the time that this decision was made public which is given below: We can see that Mercury is extremely weak primarily due to its location at the end of the sign Libra, in Rashi Sandhi. It is joined a debilitated Sun in Libra. Due to the Parivartana Yoga between the two dire malefics Saturn and Mars, Saturn is virtually as i...

As we take stock of the current Vedic Astrology planetary placements in October, 2016, there are many heartening aspects which emerge from this study. Feedback from across the world reveals that people have hitherto largely been in the waiting mode , so to speak, and rightly so. We were all battling the emergence of some hidden Karma in the past with the Saturn-Mars conjunction in Scorpio; being the 8 th sign of the natural zodiac, Scorpio can always be counted on to reveal Karmic surprises and in this instance it was the Yama Yoga of the two dire malefics, which are also inimical to each other which brought about major stresses and conflicts in life. The struggle which is precipitated by the animosity of the planets and the field of play furnished by Scorpio often mimics a life-and-death battle in many ways. With Mars proceeding to friendly Sagittarius and Saturn being left to his own devices, this direct conflict has abated though Saturn continues to bring out past Karma slow...

Jupiter is going to transit the sign Virgo from August 11, 2016. It will immediately be rid of the Guru-Chandala Dosha in Leo, Simha Rashi which is a great positive for Jupiter. In conjunction with Rahu, Guru loses its beneficence though the conjunction can work differently in some cases. Rahu will also find itself better placed in Leo without the company of Jupiter. The sign Virgo is exacting and perfectionist in nature and hence the devil is truly in the detail for them. Jupiter will expand the nature of Virgo and one will be able to see a surge in commercial activity due to this. Jupiter will also inculcate heavy optimism and bullishness in transactions and here the apprehensive, doubtful nature of Virgo will work as a protective sheath. For Virgo , the matters pertaining to marriage, spouse, partner, business and work will take centre-stage. For Aries , this is an adverse transit as the benefic grace of Jupiter is lost and if they are running an adverse time in the Ve...

Prologue: We have been, in recent times, writing about the escalation of Jyotisha work, from the already relatively higher levels to more elevated echelons, mostly through the Advanced Detailed Chart Analysis which amongst other things is treating the major components of horoscope interpretation at a deeper level. Rashis, Bhavas and Grahas (lords of Bhavas) are all thereby taken to a higher footing. We truly travel to rarefied realms when we examine the real picture as it unfolds through the subtleties of planetary aspects (Graha Drishti) and sign aspects (Rashi Drishtis) introducing the crucial perspective which comes from the Padas or measures of intent, pressure and focus asserted by the planets. The real meaning of the placement of the lord of a house in another is also applied in such works, with the interpretation taken to quite another level when the Karakas and their functioning is applied. Special considerations are then introduced and the divisional charts ...
