TRANSIT OF JUPITER IN SCORPIO : Jupiter has now moved into the Vedic sign of Scorpio on October 11, 2018. In order to understand this event, which is, and is going to undergo metamorphosis, with the efflux of time, into a process, we need to quickly revisit first, the basic essentials of both Jupiter and Scorpio.  JUPITER IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY In Vedic astrology, Jupiter is the greatest benefic planet as far as the true good for mankind goes. It is therefore clear that goodness in life, in its myriad hues, must depend, at least in part, on the position of Jupiter in the natal horoscope, and in transit. It is one of those planets in Vedic astrology, whose transit movements are studied irrespective of whether it governs any conspicuous Dasha in the given nativity or not. Jupiter is the Deva Guru or the Preceptor of the Gods. His advice and influence, thus, often operate as a measure of protection in the form of blessings, which are themselves a function of cohesiveness and bin...

Adultery, decriminalised- Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code has recently been struck down by the Supreme Court of India  and thereby the offence of adultery has been removed from the statute book. This is now the law of the land in India. For this reason, there is nothing to be said further on the subject from that perspective. There is absolutely no doubt that on the touchstone of individual freedom and autonomy, the change in the law cannot be faulted.  In Vedic Astrology- In this paper, however, we are interested in the implications in Vedic astrology of the aforesaid position in law. In other words, if this is a fated occurrence as it must be, given the doctrine of Karma and determinism, then the planets/ Grahas in question, which pertain to the subject-matter ought to be scrutinized with a careful eye to see the aforesaid change through the prism of Vedic astrology.  Significators for adultery- The main planets associated with adultery are Mars (...

Dashas, generally : Dashas in Vedic astrology are the harbingers of Karma. The natal Vedic horoscope remains the same from birth to death but it is the Dashas, along with other factors such as transits (Gochara) that fructify different parts of the Karma in the same natal horoscope, and thus change life. Kinds of Dasha : Just as there are many intricacies in the Vedic horoscope such as Arudha Padas which were not as well-known a few decades back as they are now, though they have always been pillars of Jyotisha, so too the presence of various kinds of Dashas in the classical literature. Not only are there a host of Dashas, there are numerous factors associated with Dashas which are otherwise not known, and which are to be used for effective analysis of the Karma and predictions emanating therefrom. Higher works and distinct analysis : Just as one has been travelling higher in terms of advancement of the works written for consulters over the years, as awareness of princi...

Quite recently, a curious case presented itself. It was surmised that owing to painting and polishing works being carried on in a household, due to the chemicals comprising the materials irritating the system, breathing problems manifested. These were of a serious nature. There was shortness of breath, frequent bouts of severe coughing at very short intervals and inability to sleep. The medicines prescribed did not really help much and since the constitution of the native was delicate, the medication focusing on asthma caused dryness in the system. The works could not be discontinued and efforts to distance oneself from the fumes and the smell of the chemicals were futile; relief was not really felt in other houses of friends for one reason or another. Given the high temperatures of the summer, air-conditioning is sorely required. One house of friends was not using air-conditioning since their own physiology reacted adversely to the cold air and caused problems with the ...
