This post will focus on writing about the standard facets A Brief Look at the Twelve Lagnas of the subjects of Vedic Astrology and the techniques of interpretation in given situations. The writing will not follow any pattern but will record understanding of Jyotish in a random manner. THE SUN: The Sun is the King of the solar system and represents kingship in general in human affairs. It is a solitary planet, being the leader and may not like its boundaries being breached. People strongly influenced by the Sun are sticklers for propriety and are very fond of rules and are aware of the importance of abiding by them and have people abide by them too. The Sun is bilious in nature and so are the people ruled by the Sun, having an exces...

                                             Om As an overview, it may be stated at the outset that the times have been somewhat stressed in the recent past due to the debilitation of the Sun/ Surya, who is the Karaka/ Significator of resources, health, vitality and all that is glorious in life. With the King of the zodiac at His lowest powers, the quality of well-being and radiance has been lost to us. We have sought recourse in luxury and comfort, the realms of Venus/ Shukra, as this Graha/ planet is the lord of the sign where the Sun is debilitated, Libra/ Tula Rashi. This need to justify the lack of power and self-respect and attainment in the brief period where the Sun has been debilitated, with the indulgence in the pleasures of the market, shopping and buying, ...

|Om Shreenivasaya Namah| Doubt and fear are the Naisargika Karakattwa/ natural significations of the planet Saturn/ Shani.

* Available Jyotiṣa Services/ Vedic Astrology Services and Analyses The transits of the slow moving planets: Shani/ Saturn, Guru/ Jupiter and Rahu-Ketu, the North and South Nodes respectively of the Moon are important in the application of Gochar. Gochar is to be combined with the Dashas or planetary periodicities in the radix to arrive at a clearer understanding of what is happening in the chart. In this sense, the transiting planets are seen as delivery boys or postmen, who bring to fruition what is promised in the natal chart. The transit of Chandra/ Moon can be used to narrow down the day (s) on which an event comes to pass. Gochar cannot be used independently, rather should not be used in this manner for it can lead to a lopsided and unrealistic picture, a result we are all keen to avoid, as students, clients and consultants. The Gochar of the Dasha Nath, the ruling planet of the Major Period/ the Mahadasha can be judged to judge the health of the person during the said t...
