Inquiries and requests may be addressed to anuraag9@gmail.com |Namaḥ Śivāya| (|Namah Shivaya|) The exaltation of the planet Saturn/ Śani/ Shani is a notable event much like most other things related to this Graha. The Uchcha Rāśi/ Rashi of Śani (Shani)/ Saturn is Tulā (Tula)/ Libra which is also the debilitation sign of the great luminary Ravi. This in itself is a revealing proposition. Śani/ Shani is the significator of the Vāyu/ Vayu Tattwa and it is well known that Rāhu/ Rahu works much as Śani/ Shani does. For a large part of the Gocara of Śani/ Shani in Tulā Rāśi/ Tula Rashi, we find the two dire malefics joined in Tulā Rāśi/ Tula Rashi which is the apex of the Kāma Tṛkoṇa/ Kama Trikona and is a Vāyu Tattwa Rāśi/ Vayu Tattwa Rashi itself. Meṣa (Mesha) Lagna/ Aries : Exalted Saturn in the Saptama Bhāva (Bhava) / 7th House will make the attitude of t

A Note on Śukra (Shukra) Gocara in Mithuna Rāśi (Rashi) on 31st July, 2012/ Transit of Venus to Gemini on 31st July, 2012 Śukra (Shukra) has been transiting in its own sign Vṛṣabha (Vrishabha)/ Taurus and is set to move to Mithuna Rāśi (Rashi) on 31st July, 2012. While the love for luxury and the good things of life was manifesting during this transit, the nature of Mithuna is that of multiplicity and this will pose a challenge during this transit. Śukra (Shukra) gets debilitated in a Mercurial sign-Kanyā (Kanya)/ Kumārī Rāśi (Kumari Rashi) and therefore it can be inferred that Śukra (Shukra) is not inherently comfortable in Mercurial signs. Mithuna is indicative of duality and multiplicity and for people with innate Venusian issues this is not a very easy transit. Otherwise, at other levels, Śukra (Shukra) is a great friend of Budha/ Mercury and excellent results can come in corporate communication and managerial activity. Rājayoga (Rajayoga) can result for those who have the combin

It is the transit of slow-moving planets that signals a shift in the Karma that is being experienced. Rāhu (Rahu)-Ketu, the shadow planets are specially noteworthy in this regard. They indicate the desires from past lives and in this life which act as Karmic compulsions and are very powerful. Their methods are contrary to the direct motion of the luminaries, Ravi and Chañdra (Chandra)/ the Sun and the Moon, since they are always retrograde. The chart for the movement of Rāhu in Tulā (Rahu in Tula) and Ketu in Meṣa (Ketu in Mesha) is given below:   Some of the conspicuous features which reveal themselves in the entry chart, the Gochara Praveśa Cakra (Gochara Pravesha Chakra), are that Śani (Shani)/ Saturn and Rāhu (Rahu) are joined together. This is not a favourable Yoga and goes by the name of Śrāddha Yoga (Shraddha Yoga)/ Piṭṛi Doṣa (Pitri Dosha) indicating the influence and displeasure of departed spirits or those persons whose last rites were not performed, and whose souls

The Transit/ Gochara of planets in May, 2012 The first change that occurs is the Saṅkrānti with Ravi/ the Sun moving to Taurus/Vṛṣabha Raśi (Vrishabha Rashi). Vṛṣabha (Vrishabha) is a sign of luxuries and enjoyments, a love of comforts and the good things in life. Ravi here illuminates all these facets of life. Not everybody things of the King in this manner but one of the foremost significations of Ravi is abundance. Ravi is the provider and the giver of resources in His form as the Āditya/ Aditya. Without Ravi nothing can sustain. The Preceptor of the Gods, the great Gurū (Guru/ Jupiter) also changes Rāśis (Rashis) and moves from Meṣa to Vṛṣabha (Mesha to Vrishabha) in May, 2012. The field of play is no longer that governed by the forthright Maṅgala/ Mangal but that of the other Gurū/ Guru, Śukra (Shukra) as the latter lords over Vṛṣabha (Vrishabha). Here, the best and the deepest significations of Gurū/ Guru might not manifest since he will be at the residence of his o

* Available Jyotiṣa Services/ Vedic Astrology Services and Analyses People have felt and are going to feel numerous changes in life due to the altered transit positions of crucial planets, Mangal/ Mars from Karkata/ Cancer to Simha/ Leo, and Shani/ Saturn from Kanya/ Virgo to Tula/ Libra in November, 2011. Mangal has been Neecha/ debilitated in Karkata Rashi/ Cancer and there was a Tattwa/ elemental conflict during that transit due to the fact that Mangal is an Agni Tattwa Graha or a planet with fiery element while Karkata/ Cancer is a water sign. Mangal’s fire was sought to be doused by the water in Karkata and the water of Karkata was simmering due to the fire of Mangal leading to repressed anger, irritability and a general loss of verve. Mangal is the strength of the Kalapurusha and its debility had sapped people of the strength and initiative to act which comes from Mangal. Apart from certain combinations where the debility of the malefic Yogakaraka can be a good thing, this

* Available Vedic Astrology Predictions, Services & Analyses/ Jyotiṣa Services & Analysis Mercury/ Budha is a Chañchala Graha who likes to play, experiment and exchange information. It is also impressionable and its results in horoscopes depend on its associations. At this time is is retrograde in Pisces/ Vakra in Mīna Rāśi (Meena Rashi). The question is why does Budha get Nīcha (Neecha)/ debilitated in Mīna Rāśi (Meena Rashi). Mīna Rāśi (Meena Rashi) is the Swakṣetra (Swakshetra) / own sign of Gurū/ Jupiter and being the last sign in the zodiac rules emancipation. Budh is an adolescent planet indicating Kumārāvasthā/ Kumaravastha. It finds its playfulness bereft of a field of play since Mīna Rāśi (Meena Rashi) governs the wisdom of the Mahaṛṣīs/ Maharshis, and there is no scope for playfulness, verbosity and investigation. When Budh's significations have no chance of flowering it feels Nīcha (Neecha) /debilitated. We must note that this is a Graha which feels like

On 14th of August, 2012 Maṅgala moves to Tulā Rāśi after spending considerable time in Kumārī Rāśi where it was joined Śani for a long time. It joins Śani again in Tulā Rāśi. Relationships will suffer inflexibility. Maṅgala is far from the best planet for Tulā Rāśi ruling the opposite sign of Meṣa from there. It is opposed to the social and decorum-ruled domain of Tulā. Maṅgala is a rough and ready planet and with Śani it enters into battle there. It receives the Rāśi Dṛṣṭi or the sign aspect of Gurū and Ketu from Vṛṣabha Rāśi, another sign ruled by Śukra/ Venus and the aspect of Gurū is a great positive for this combination which is happening here. Maṅgala and Śani can give a warrior Yoga of fearlessness to be found in the horoscopes of army generals and the like. It gives an inflexible will and great rigidity in action. If such attributes are required by natives in any area of life to be gauged from the relevant parts of the horoscope, then this is the time during which to pus

Śani/ Saturn has already retrograded back to Kumārī Rāśi/ Kanyā Rāśi/ Virgo, having previously gone ahead to Tulā Rāśi/ Libra. It will remain in Kumārī Rāśi till December, 2012. Mars has been in Leo and Maṅgala is also moving to Kanyā Rāśi on June 21, 2012 . This combination in Gocara/ transit cannot be said to be good in any manner or means. Firstly, Śani and Maṅgala are bitter enemies at the Naisargika level of natural relationships. Even temporally they become completely opposed at the Tātkālika level due to Yuti or conjunction in the same sign. The compound relationship which results is bitterly inimical. The situation is problematic and difficult because Śani is the worst planet when it comes to Kanyā Rāśi-Kanyā is purity while Śani is impurity. Maṅgala is not much better with its portfolio of the 3rd and 8th Houses from Kanyā and becomes very malefic. With people having malefics in the nativity in this sign, there will be two malefics transiting this sign over a natal ma

Budha is Vakri during July, 2012 and becomes direct only on 8th of August, 2012. There is a lot of confusion about Vakra Grahas. This is because they do not follow the direct path of the luminaries, Ravi and Cañdra, but instead follow the reverse motion of the nodes of the Moon-Rāhu and Ketu. They are known to give unusual results and indicate deep desires from past lives when they are found in a nativity. However, this paper is about the retrogression of Budha during the month of July, 2012 and the first week of August, 2012. Budha retrograde is known to cause snafus in communications, telephony, internet usage, writing, the spoken and written word and understanding such communication between parties. Therefore, surface transactions, deals, remittances and despatches may be returned because retrogression is backward motion. Currency notes may be found kept backwards in wallets and storage spaces. Caution may be exercised while backing up the car because it may cause an error in j
