One wants to understand the unfolding of Karma through Vedic astrology, once it becomes clear that surprising though it is to the modern, uninitiated mind, you could readily say, broad brushes, that everything happens as indicated in the horoscope; barring minor irritants such as wanting things to happen at a particular time and in a particular way, but then what is actually happening is very much in conformity with what a well-versed person would fathom from the various combinations formed by the Grahas, Rashis and any number of Jyotisha parameters.   So, suppose one is at a crucial juncture in life for example, and either has sufficient knowledge of the Vedanga or is in a position to consult a Jyotishi, what could some of the more important areas of scrutiny be, so as to get a firm grip on the prospects. These need not be discussed in any particular order since quite obviously the meaning is that they ought to all be considered, apart from any other areas that come to mind, for...

  In Jyotisha, Dasha is very crucial in determining what is actually happening in life at a given time or during a span of time . If we think about it, this is the foremost practical consideration in the life of a human being who has the Karma to bow before the Shastra for insight.   When we consider Dasha, we must consider whether the lord of the Dasha, the Dashanatha , is alone or conjoined another Graha or Grahas. If there is a conjunction, and one proceeds to read the results only from the Dasha lord, literally, the understanding will go astray. The planet ruling the Mahadasha, and any others in the Bhava have to be arranged according to the level of beneficence or maleficence, and then the most benefic planet will give the results of the most malefic planet and vice versa; this will work in the case of multi-planet conjunctions starting from a three-planet conjunction. For example, if Mangala is joined Surya and Budha for Kanya Lagna then Budha Mahadasha,, which one mig...

Jupiter became exalted in Cancer on October 18, 2025, in transit. The exaltation of Guru in Karka Rashi is always an unconditional blessing since the planet represents divinity in any horoscope. As Deva Guru, or the preceptor of the Devas, He gives the power of discrimination/ Viveka which is essential and crucial within the framework of merits and demerits in Karma.  Karka Rashi is the 4th House of the Kalapurusha, or the natural 4th Bhava. The 4th is a Kendra Bhava from the Lagna and is unreservedly auspicious like all other Kendras. One may even say that it is only the Kendra Bhavas that are truly auspicious for even Trikona Bhava are seeking blessings of the Devi. The fundamental trait of the 4th Bhava is the governance of Sukha or happiness and this comes from Punya or good deeds. This is also contiguous with the fact that Guru is the Karaka or significator for Purva Punya, the good or meritorious deeds of the past.  This can also be understood from the lordship of Karka ...

Saturn has transited to Pisces on March 29, 2025 and with this Gochara comes an inevitable Karmic shift. It is the transit of the slower planets which is used the most in Vedic astrology and that of Shani tends to be the most deeply considered, and for good reason.  Saturn is the great malefic and indicates the results of the bad Karma previously done which are to be experienced in a given lifetime. If we quickly cast our mind back to the transit of Saturn in Aquarius/ Kumbha, the first thing to note is that it was the Gochara of Shani in His own Rashi. Despite that, the natives of Kumbha Rashi and Makara Rashi continued to feel the tests and trials which accrued from this Gochara.  This should dispel the notion that Shani is not adverse for His own signs, or for those where He is Yogakaraka. For this reason, when we find Shani or/ and Rahu merely lording the 2nd Bhava from the Upapada Lagna, it is reason enough to examine marriage deeply.  It has been seen that if Shani ...
