Dengue Fever in 2012-An Astrological Perspective


DENGUE FEVER IN 2012- An Astrological Perspective

 

The outbreak of Dengue fever has claimed the legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra who is renowned for his romantic and lively films which were regular blockbusters at the box office.

 

Dengue fever is caused by the bite of a mosquito and needless to say a mosquito is an insect called Kīṭa (Keeta) in the Saṅskṛt (Sankrit) / Hindi languages. in Jyotiṣa (Jyotisha) we have Kīṭa (Keeta) / insect Rāśis (Rashis) one of which is Scorpio/ Vṛṣcika (Vrishchika). This is also a watery sign/ Jala Rāśi (Rashi) and the dengue fever causing mosquito breeds in still and dirty water.

 

At this time this Kīṭa Rāśi (Keeta Rashi) is occupied by Rāhu and Maṅgala (Rahu and Mangal). There is a battle going on here and the Jala Tattwa within the body (blood-Cañdra-Chandra) gets debilitated in this sign. With just Rāhu (Rahu) there the Moon/ Jala in the body and in the world has been really suffering and with the onset of winter when it becomes too cold for mosquitos to breed, the problem will fade away. The astrological reason would be the movement of Rāhu (Rahu) out of Scorpio into Libra. Just as Maṅgala (Mangal) has moved in to this sign, prevention measures (security-Kāraka Maṅgala) (security-Karaka Mangal) have been heightened. Mars is friendly to the Moon at the natural level and will protect the Moon. Maṅgala is in its own sign while Rāhu (Rahu) is in Āyuṣa (Ayusha) debility;  the latter feature indicates that the problem cannot be long lasting and its longevity is limited.

 

Discipline (Mars) in maintaining the purity of water and not permitting it to stagnate (Āli/ Scorpio) would be the first step towards protecting oneself from the Kīṭa ((Keeta).

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/ asc

Vedic Astrology: The Charakaraka Replacement and Its Impact

At its deepest core Jyotiṣa is at the driving centre of all Karma. Just like life, if properly appreciated as it must, it has the status of a full-scale on-going project of immense magnitude. Karma and Soul : The Lagna and the Bhavas reckoned from the Lagna in the Rāśi Chakra indicate the physical manifestation of life. In the Varga Chakra the Lagna and the Bhāvas indicate the personality and realities of that specific environment. When we speak of Karma we inevitably speak of the soul as it is the soul which must carry and exhaust the Karma through rebirth. Charakāraka - Matters pertaining to the soul are studied and deciphered through the Charakāraka in Vedic Astrology. The Charakāraka are the temporal significators (Naisargika Kāraka) for various matters at the level of the soul and the Karma.
