Capricorn/Makara Rashi and 10th House/ Dashama Bhava from Lagna-Indices in Karma/ Work in Vedic Astrology

The natural zodiac in Vedic Astrology starts with Meṣa Rāśi/ Mesha Rashi/ Aries and therefore the 10th House from that sign is Capricorn/ Makara Rāśi/ Rashi. On principle, the 10th House is the zenith or the high water mark in Jyotiṣa/ Jyotisha and is therefore also referred to as Swarga/ the heaven. The 10th House shows our Karma/ the work we do and the actions we perform in a given lifetime. This article in Vedic Astrology is apposite at this time since the transit Moon is travelling through the sign of Capricorn on 12th of October, 2013.

Capricorn is a sign ruled by the planet Saturn/ Śani/ Shani and therefore this sign being the 10th from Aries and the lord become important indices of Karma and work in life. Saturn signifies hard work and so the 10th House in any horoscope shows the requirement of working hard which will be modified by the placement of  planets and aspects on the sign and its lord. 

It is the influences on the 10th House which indicate the quality of our application in work, while the finer details and the minute aspects relating to all facets of work and office and business and job and the boss are to be more properly divined from the Daśāmśa/ Dashamsha/ D-10 chart which is derived by dividing the sign into 10 equal parts. Note the division into ten parts and not into any other number. 

Moon in Capricorn indicates an emphasis on hard work and getting the job done by actual physical effort. Saturn requires that we put in the hard yards. We have other significations of the 10th House which might be reckoned from the Moon Sign/Jañma Rāśi/ Janma Rashi/Cañdra/Chandra Lagna, the Ārūḍha/ Arudha Lagna and the special ascendants but all of them reveal different properties of our life realities relating to business, work and profession.

The transit horoscope for the movement of the Moon through Makara Rāśi/ Rashi is given below-



 




We can see that the Moon is not conjoined any planet in Capricorn and it does not receive any full special aspects/ Graha Dṛṣṭi/ Drishti from any planet as well. As indicated in the article on full special aspects, there are other aspects of the planets having full aspects, and these are of great and revealing importance, but these are more properly used in personalised and confidential consulting for clients and not for general readership.

It would also depend on the house which is tenanted by Capricorn in the natal horoscope for the results of the current transit of the Moon in Capricorn. For instance if this was in the Artha Tṛkoṇa/ Trikona then the work related realities and other attendant factors would be truly dominant, especially since this transit happens on Śanivāra/ Shanivara/ Saturday. 

Both Venus and Mars have Rāśi Dṛṣṭi/ Rashi Drishti or sign aspect on the transit Moon showing that psychologically people will not be only driven to perform but also there will be a clear recognition of the rewards that one is working for and also the aspirations for the position of power which is sought through the work.

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
