  Something has changed in that Dhanu Rashi/ Sagittarius has become populated with three Grahas/ planets. Today, on 7th December, 2010, even the Moon/ Chandra is here. Dhanu Rashi/ Sagittarius is ruled by the great Jupiter/ Guru and is the Moolatrikona Rashi of the planet. Jupiter gets to work here and this is a dynamic sign where the natural significations of Jupiter attain action and fruition. In other words, law, deep esoteric thinking, high philosophy, physics, finance, metaphysics, religion, spiritual arts, priestly pursuits and such subjects become active in this sign. The Moon is here joined Mercury/ Budh and Rahu, the North Node of the Moon, along with Mars/ Mangal. Prior to Mars joining the combination communications attained a quality of infatuation, and exhilaration, qualities of Rahu, communications of course being governed by Mercury. To those generally sedate, or sedated by Karma, such an event might have been relieving but generally speaking there can be something deviou

                                             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, has been highlighted because Venus is joined the Sun and gives the Neecha Graha its Neechabhanga, cancellation of debility. Venus is also retrograde in Libra, indicating that for those who are tuned more deeply into th

  The knowledge contained in this article has been learnt from the teachings of Pt. Sanjay Rath on the subject. By way of simplification it can be said that the Bhava Lagna is a mental construct and further the Grahas which change their Bhavas in the Bhava Lagna Chakra, present areas of focus where conceptual issues may occur. The general rule is that the Grahas changing their Bhavas give food for thought because the person in question is perceiving the reality given by the Grahas differently from what it actually is. This perception may be good or bad, good or bad being matters of perspective in any case. Let us take an illustration where Leo Ascendant/ Simha Lagna rises in the Rashi Chakra and Sun/ Ravi, Moon/ Chandra and Saturn/ Shani are in the 10th Bhava from the Lagna. Jupiter (R) is in the 5th Bhava from the Lagna. Rahu is in the 6th Bhava from the Lagna and Venus/ Shukra, Mercury/ Budh and Mars/ Kuja are in the 11th Bhava from the Lagna while Ketu occupies the 12th Bhava from t

The sidereal Jupiter/ Guru moves to Pisces/ Meena on May 2, 2010. The transit of the most benefic planet in the zodiac is always important. Also, important are the transits of Saturn/ Shani and the Nodes of the Moon, Rahu and Ketu. In addition the transit of the Mahadasha lord in the applicable Nakshatra Dasha scheme should be seen. For event evaluation the transit of the luminaries, the Sun and the Moon, especially relative to the Arudha Padas has to be seen. Pisces is the final sign of the natural zodiac and corresponds to meditative and secluded spirituality. Ashram/ house of the Guru (4th House: home, from the 9th: Guru), final emancipation/ Moksha, Rishis, expenses, foreign travel, crossing oceans, sleep etc. Pisces is owned by Jupiter and Jupiter is strong in its own sign, just as any other Graha/ planet is strong in its own sign. Importantly, Guru will be rid of the exchange/ Parivartana with Rahu which subsists at the time of writing this article. The clarity which has come due

The article is being written in response to a reader's request as to the impact of transit aspects of Shani/ Saturn, Mangal/ Mars and Guru/ Jupiter on Vrishik Rashi/ Scorpio in May-June 2010 and beyond till the Yoga subsists. For Aries , this can have remarkable ramifications because Scorpio is the 8th House. Saturn is the Badhak and Mars is the lord of the Lagna as well as the 8th House. Guru is the 9th Lord and the 12th Lord. If the natal 8th is well-disposed, then the 8th Bhava can induce positive transformations. Since this is the Kalapurusha Chakra, Scorpio will indicate transformations strongly. For spiritual nativities, this can be a very important time where new ground is broken in the individual journey towards truth and awareness. Mangal will strain to protect its Bhava while Shani is the Naisargika Karaka for the 8th House. Guru can induce the necessary grace and blessings to make the path of occult experience easier. For others it can mean a variety of things from

* Available Jyotiṣa Services/ Vedic Astrology Services and Analyses This horoscope exhibits trials in the marital realm. The role of Ketu in the Arudha is also studied in some depth and the manner in which this can turn around life tendencies is also shown. DETAILED CHART ANALYSIS Dear Consulter, You are familiar with the Rashi Chakra of your ex-wife and other Varga Chakra. Simha Lagna rises in the Rashi Chakra and there is no Graha in the Lagna. Now, you have mentioned Kalank Yoga but I have not come across this term before. There are many commentaries and texts in Jyotish and some of the later ones are dubious in their authenticity. Restricting ourselves to the standard tools of Jyotish which are enormous in their scope, we shall evaluate all these facets presently. Now in the same line of thought, we should note that the 7th Bhava is a delicate Bhava and generally no Grahas are preferred in the 7th Bhava in the Rashi Chakra. This shows the attitude to marriage and partnersh

In November, 2009, Rahu & Ketu, the North and South Nodes of the Moon respectively have changed signs. Rahu has moved from Makar/ Capricorn to Dhanu/ Sagittarius while Ketu has moved from Karka/ Cancer to Mithun/ Gemini. On December 19, 2009, Guru/ Jupiter has moved from Makar/ Capricorn to Kumbha/ Aquarius. The Nodal transits are conspicuous because the nodes indicate deep Karmic desires and also because the transit lasts for 18 months. It represents a Karmic shift. The transit of Guru is important as it is the greatest benefic in the zodiac and indicates the presence of divinity/ God in any given horoscope. It shows the protection that may come to the person unconditionally and also blessings, divine grace, wealth, health, perspective and all good things governed by the great Graha. It is also important to note that for quite some time prior to this transit Jupiter was perhaps at its weakest being Neecha/ debilitated in Makar Rashi and furthermore being in the devastatingly adve
