Vedic Astrology: Moon Debilitated in Scorpio on 15th August, 2013

 
 

It is a bit like the Devil and deep blue see when we compare the transit affliction of the Moon in Libra with Saturn and Rahu and then its debilitation in Scorpio. 

In Scorpio it continues to receive the aspect of Rahu while the Sun and Mars also prepare to change signs.

With such continued affliction to the transit Moon sometimes we need to do our Maṅtras/ Mantras for protection of the mind. After all this is what Maṅtra means-Mana (mind) + Trayī/ Trayi (to protect)= Protection of the mind. 

Where the Moon is in the zodiac, there the mind will go and so the humility of one's circumstance, or the emotional issues in one's life  or about life in general will be dominant during this transit of the Moon to Scorpio.

Rāhu/ Rahu is completely opposed to the Sun and the Moon and the enmity can really afflict the emotional mind these couple of days. The Independence Day celebrations in India are liable to be marked by this sombre mood.

Addendum-

Just as we suspected, the Independence Day celebrations have been marred by an unsavoury political exchange between leaders of two large national political parties.  Following the speech of the Hon'ble Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, the speech of Shri Narendra Modi, Hon'ble Chief Minister of Gujarat has sparked off a controversy and the collective mind (Moon) has been shunted into a well of despair and cynicism (Scorpio). 

While on Shri Narendra Modi, Nidhi Razdan of the NDTV was also spoken to in no uncertain terms by the British MP Mr. Barry Gardiner who has extended an invitation to Shri Narendra Modi to the House of Commons. She has purportedly been 'ripped apart' by the British MP on questioning of Shri Modi's credentials and the alleged controversy surrounding him.

In another incident reported personally to me a Forest Department worker was badly stung when he tried to dislodge a nest of wild wasps from a tree. He appeared to have badly misjudged the task at hand and he was poisoned (blood poisoning with the Moon (blood) in natural Maraṇa Kāraka Sthāna/ Marana Karaka Sthana and Nīca/Neecha/ debilitated in Scorpio). He is in hospital now and the people concerned  acted with great alacrity in taking him there. A team of Doctors is attending to him even as this addendum is being written. 

Vṛṣcika/ Vrishchika/ Scorpio is a Kīta/ Keeta/ insect sign and indicates wasps and such creatures which like Scorpions, the symbols of the Rāśi/ Rashi have poison in them. Fortunately for the worker he was moved to hospital and hopefully finally the effects of Cancer will prevail and he will be cured. The poison could be such that he might suffer shock and damage to the kidneys since Rāhu aspects and the unknown quantity has come from the fact that the wasps were not the usual yellow wasps, but red in colour. At the same time yellow is the colour of Scorpio while red is that of Aries showing that the poison may not be linked inextricably with Scorpio.

In Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, India ugly reports of local politicians fighting over the right to hoist the flag have started emerging in the Television media and the less said about it the better it is.  For our purposes this just shows the real nature and typology of the state of the collective (and individual) mind when the Moon is debilitated.

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
