'A Question or Two' and 'Malefics' in Vedic/ Hindu/ Indian Astrology


A QUESTION OR TWO:

Even a question or two on the same subject, posed to the astrologer, if the said questions are conspicuous, can be a clue to many things happening in the relevant horoscopes in question. This is on the lines of Nimitta in Prashna and is important.

MALEFICS

When we meditate on the nature and impact of malefics, we may do so in several ways. The most frequent amongst these is to consider the impact of the malefics in the horoscope, primarily the Rashi Chakra, and in broad based physical manifestation in life.

In other words, what are the malefics doing to us is an oft contemplated sentiment.

Sometimes when we think of doership as against things being done to us, the source of personal intelligence becomes focal in understanding the issue.

If there is planetary aspect of natural malefics on the Lagna, then the Will and desire partake of the malefic impact and the same shall fuse itself with the personal intelligence/ Will/ desire.

If there is sign aspect of the natural malefic (s) on the Lagna, then the manifestation is destined and circumstantial and things in that contingency do not stem from the personal intelligence. They just happen.

Likewise qua the Paka Lagna.

The difference between the evaluation from the Lagna on the one hand and the Paka Lagna on the other would be the quality of dynamics and personality in motion or the lack of it, as the case may be, depending on the reference. From the Paka Lagna there is greater ownership and therefore greater responsibility. If this is in Upachaya, then greater leeway to channel and to guide the manifestation will also accrue. This is very important thinking according to me.

Transits of Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu in 2025 in Vedic Astrology

Spring and summer of 2025 will be marked by notable shifts in transit of the slow-moving planets, Guru, Shani and Rahu-Ketu.  Important transits have the capacity to modify the results of the Dasha. In Vedic astrology/ Jyotisha, therefore, the two phenomena have to be examined together.  Jupiter/ Guru will move to Mithuna Rashi/ Gemini on May 14, 2025 and immediately thereafter the Nodes of the Moon, Rahu and Ketu also transit to Kumbha/ Aquarius and Simha/ Leo respectively. Shani/ Saturn will move to Meena Rashi/ Pisces on March 29, 2025.  Broadly speaking, in highly beneficial Dashas, positive transits lead to an icing on the cake situation, while negative transits can dampen the results or even negate them for a while. The effect can be construed accordingly for adverse Dashas, and so on.  It is well-known that Shani is the only Graha who gives added difficulties when He is strong. But a weak malefic is not to be desired because He becomes far more malefic. In oth...

A BRIEF LOOK AT THE TWELVE LAGNAS/ ASCENDANTS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY

People are often curious at the beginning of their astrological quest, to know something of the various facets pertaining to their ‘chart’; in other words, they wish to evaluate the basic propensities pertaining to their Lagnas and their Rashi/ Lagna Kundalis (Kundalis). Also, the Chandra Lagna itself and Gochar furnish other popular areas of curiosity. Lagna is the sign rising on the Eastern horizon at the time of birth and is occupied by a Rāśi (Rashi)/ Vedic sign. The average duration of a sign rising in the Lagna/ Ascendant is two hours and for this reason the twelve Rāśis cover the twenty-four hours duration of the solar day. ( Basic Jyotiṣa principles can be accessed by clicking this link ) Lagna imbues a person with individuality and therefore denotes the self and the personality of the person. It is the first house or Bhāva of the chart and is the commencement point of any horoscopic study. We cannot forget that in all the divisional charts as well there is a Lagna/...

The Forthcoming Transit/ Gochar of Saturn/ Śani to Libra/ Tulā Rashi on 15th November, 2011

At the present time, when Saturn/ Shani is transiting Virgo/ Kanya Rashi according to the siderial zodiac, we have witnessed many changes, some of them being related to the disturbances in the Prithvi Tattwa, as shown by the earthquake in Japan and the consequent Tsunami. Mercury/ Budh has been debilitated in Pisces/ Meena Rashi at this time but it is equally important to note that Virgo/ Kanya is also a Prithvi Tattwa Rashi or a sign embodying the Earth element. The trine of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn/ Vrishabh, Kanya and Makar relates to Artha/ financial and monetary element relating to the trine of attainment in work, the accumulation of wealth and the daily work and adversities to be encountered. Shani in Kanya has revealed some of the realities associated with this sign by pressuring the matters associated with it. The chart for the transit of Saturn Implications of the Saturn Transit in Virgo in Virgo is given below:   Saturn is also retrograde and aspects the debilitated M...
