Six Planets in Libra-Aries Axis on 19th October,2013:Transit Moon with Ketu

Out of nine planets in Vedic astrology, six are concentrated in the Libra-Aries axis starting 19th October,  with the transit Moon joining Ketu in Aries. The focus is therefore squarely on business,  trade,  commerce, relationships, sexuality and initiative,  leadership and aggressive individuality.  There is a lunar eclipse though in Aries with the transit Moon joining the South Node Ketu.  This is Grahaṇa Yoga where the mind, as the Vedic Moon indicates the mind of the individual and the populace, and therefore suggests the group and the family and the populace in general, is eclipsed or clouded by what we term the Void or northingness. We term it thus since not more can be understood of it in our empirical worlds.

Those with spiritual moorings will see this as a change and a commencement of a new cycle and generally speaking it will be good to avoid headless, irrational and infra-red-heat spurred actions. This is all the more so because the malefic Rāhu/ Rahu, Śani/ Shani and Sūrya/ Surya in debility also aspect the transit Moon. Usual modes of emotional and social perception will not work and the mind needs to be protected with Maṅtra/ Mantra during such a period.



 

 
 
 
As indicated in another post, the Sun is debilitated in Libra now but its most vulnerable period is now over due to the fact that it is out of Rāśi Saṅdhi/ Rashi Sandhi or Saṅkrāṅti/ Sankranti. This vulnerability has in fact been inflicted on the individual mind as the Gocara Cañdra/ Chandra has had to transcend the Gaṅdāṅta/ Gandanta, that difficult zone between the concluding part of Mīna Rāśi/Meena Rashi/ Pisces and the commencing part of Meṣa Rāśi/Mesha Rashi/ Aries.  The junction of water and fire exposes our consciousness and psyche to the conflicting foundational elements of water and fire. This occurs close to the mindnight of 18th October, 2013 just as the 19th October, 2013 is starting.
 
Such junctures point out our vulnerabilities and highlight the need for us to be proximate to divinity so that while Karma unfolds we always have access to the highest powers through prayer and meditation and the highest learning, even in the Kaliyuga. 
 
The power of Saturn and Rahu can cut away our minds, and the soul needs to be strong to tide over the storms. For those who have been remedying adversity in their lives, this is easier and they can participate as the edges of the assault are dulled and the practice through Jyotiṣa advice or such benevolent knowledge protects the mind-body-soul continuum.
 
Participate by merging the stand-alone ego in the created world with the other (s), in the market-place but keep the Ātman/ Atman strong. Actions should not be blind but they should be concessional. All sorts of baser instincts will bellow at your existence.
 
Beware of shock and cheating in business and intimate transactions. There is great scope to work hard to make your mark in the world due to the exaltation of Saturn. Hard work to the extent of sheer labour will guide Śani/ Shani in the right direction. This could be a time to dissolve the polarities in your own being-the elevated and solitary is joined the commonplace and the ordinary and the merging of the opposites can create something novel in the material world.
 
If you should achieve a breakthrough, or if you should sense confusion, then quell it through considered communication since Budha/ Mercury is joined. Conversely if it is a case of miscommunication then know that it is due to the gross affliction of the planet and do not take it to heart.
 
As I always say these things and events that fructify in a given life depend on the nativity and the Karma there-transits are precipitators.

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
