Full Moon in Aquarius on 20th August, 2013

Bright rays, corresponding thoughts and optimism pervade the mind since the Moon is in the sign of Kumbha/ Aquarius on 20th August, 2013.

The Sun has also finished the terrible Gaṅdāṅta Saṅkrāṅti/ Gandanta Sankaranti on the border of Cancer and Leo and has culminated in the festival of Rakṣā Baṅdhana/ Rakshabandhana. 

The Sun is in the royal Leo/ Simha, its own sign and from terrible conflict at the elemental/ Tattwa level, it is now in its splendorous domain. People will be acting from a place of personal power especially if dominated by the Sun in some manner. This dominance can be worked out through the Lagna Chakra in Vedic astrology/ Jyotiṣa/ Jyotisha or through the Cañdra Rāśi (Jaṅma Rāśi)/ Chandra Rashi (Janma Rashi)-natal Moon- or indeed from any of the Viṣeṣa/ Vishesha Lagna such as the Ārūḍha/ Arudha or the Ghātikā etc. I have frequently pointed out that the Varga Chakra Lagna and the Vishesha Lagna have to be considered in this context as well.

The Moon is opposite in Kumbha Rāśi/ Kumbha Rashi and the planetary position is depicted by the chart below-


 
 
 
 
 
The Moon or the mind is replete with rays and the authority centre indicated by the Sun is also powerful and some of the tests of the preceding transits will pale into insignificance with this opposition of the Sun and Moon. This freedom of the mind and self is aided by the fact that all energies of the planets are forward directed since none of the planets are retrograde.
 
The full Moon is associated with a stage of emotional fulfilment and a state of mind where illumination pervades the thoughts and the cognizance. The rays that the Moon has is measured in terms of the Pakṣa/ Paksha Bala, lit. its position qua the Sun in a given fortnight. The further away it is from the Sun, the more illuminated and full of nectar it is supposed to be. This is an important though not the sole consideration for gauging the strength of the mind.
 
Venus and Mars are both Nīca/ Neecha or debilitated and the debility of Mars weakens and represses the fire in us and it Is capable of therefore erupting in an unnatural way. Our drive and belief in accomplishing things on planet Earth are governed by Maṅgala/ Mangala/ Mars and this may take something of a beating with the planet debilitated. 
 
Mercury/ Budha also transits the Gaṅdāṅta/ Gandanta on the 21st of August, 2013 and enters Leo/ Simha to form the Nipuṇa/ Nipuna Yoga or the Budha-Āditya/ Aditya Yoga. Intelligence and dexterity will be dominant in people having Leo/ Simha as the dominant sign in the horoscope in any manner. This can be stated to be true for those with Sthira Lagna/ fixed sign rising in the horoscope. 
 
Such a configuration of planets can be said to indicate a changing scenario and the nature, purport and quality of the change will depend on the Karma indicated in the horoscope.

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. The Charakāraka are decided on the basis of longitude of arc traversed by the planets including minutes and seconds of arc, and sometimes fractions of seconds of arc. The Eight Cha

Yanavanta/ Annapurna/ Vahana Yoga of Venus and Moon in Scorpio-8th October, 2013

The Yānavaṅta/ Yanavanta/ Annapūrṇā/ Annapurna/ Vāhana/ Vahana Yoga is formed when Venus and Moon/ Śukra and Cañdra/ Shukra and Chandra associate to form a Yoga in the Vedic horoscope; by Vedic horoscope is meant the Rāśi Cakra/ Rashi Chakra and the Varga Chakra as well, the latter being the divisional charts governing specific areas of life such as marriage (Navāmśa/ Navamsha), career (Daśāmśa/ Dashamsha), children (Saptāmśa/ Saptamsha), parents and elders (Dwādaśāmśa/ Dwadashamsha), comforts and luxuries (Ṣodaśāmśa/ Shodashamsha), spirituality and worship (Vimśāmśa/ Vimshamsha), education (Siddhāmśa/ Siddhamsha) etc. Let us consider the immediate meanings of the various terms used to indicate the Yoga formed due to the association of Venus and the Moon. The term Yānavaṅta/ Yanavanta indicates the charioteer or one guiding the vehicle of humanity or a group or individuals. It indicates leadership and the capacity to show the way to the multitudes and to guide and mould their live
