Vedic Astrology Transits in February, 2014


The Vedic astrology transits of the planets for the month of February, 2014 present an interesting picture.  The Sun will change signs/ Rāśis/ Rashis around the 12th of February and will move from Makara Rāśi/ Rashi/ Capricorn to Kumbha Rāśi/ Rashi/ Aquarius.

Mercury/ Budha is already in Aquarius/ Kumbha promising that our rationality and communications have the opportunity to explore uncharted territory. If you carry out the sequence right, the rewards of innovation especially in intellectualism, communications, trade, banking, writing and such areas can be phenomenal. The sequence is to first subject the idea or the project or the enterprise to research, and then to analyse the propositions and data which emerges from the research and then the actual performance of the promise. This will define the otherwise fluid environs and infuse an element of rigour into the plan of action.

Maṅgala/ Mangala/ Mars has also changed signs and has moved to Libra/ Tulā Rāśi/ Tula Rashi where it has joined Saturn/ Śani/ Shani and Rāhu/ Rahu. This makes for three malefics transiting Libra. I have often discussed the transits from the Lagna rising in the Rāśi Chakra or the Lagna chart and so I reiterate that if this malefic conglomeration is in an Upachaya Bhāva/ Bhava from the Lagna then it can give great impetus to action and great resilience in life at the given time.

Upachaya Bhāvas/ Bhavas reckoned from the Lagna are associated with effort and growth which accrues from working at something for a given period of time and so the malefics who have the harshness of sustained effort for ambition are considered well-placed here.

Those destined for victory and supported by the fire and weight of these malefics will find victorious stimuli emerging.

Jupiter/ Gurū/ Guru and Venus/ Śukra/ Shukra are firmly ensconced in Mithuna Rāśi/ Rashi and Dhanuṣa Rāśi respectively forming the Dwi-Gurū/ Guru Yoga of access to a lot of knowledge and information.

February appears laden with opportunity.

Of course if the rather incendiary combination of Mars, Saturn and Rahu in Libra happens to fall in a vulnerable position in the Rāśi Chakra and at a vulnerable time in life based on the natal Karma, then there is need not only for caution but for immediate counsel and ways and means to mitigate and remedy whatever the situation be that emerges from the charts.

Mars on the one hand and Saturn and Rahu on the other are highly inimical to each other. There is a capacity for great violence here and of explosive events coming to pass. In the earlier assumption there would be ample opportunity for those people to channel their energies into fruitful and laudable activities.

The trend of sexual offences which we have been witness to in the relatively recent past is likely to heighten as too the visibility and discussion of the police in the media.

Transits of Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu in 2025 in Vedic Astrology

Spring and summer of 2025 will be marked by notable shifts in transit of the slow-moving planets, Guru, Shani and Rahu-Ketu.  Important transits have the capacity to modify the results of the Dasha. In Vedic astrology/ Jyotisha, therefore, the two phenomena have to be examined together.  Jupiter/ Guru will move to Mithuna Rashi/ Gemini on May 14, 2025 and immediately thereafter the Nodes of the Moon, Rahu and Ketu also transit to Kumbha/ Aquarius and Simha/ Leo respectively. Shani/ Saturn will move to Meena Rashi/ Pisces on March 29, 2025.  Broadly speaking, in highly beneficial Dashas, positive transits lead to an icing on the cake situation, while negative transits can dampen the results or even negate them for a while. The effect can be construed accordingly for adverse Dashas, and so on.  It is well-known that Shani is the only Graha who gives added difficulties when He is strong. But a weak malefic is not to be desired because He becomes far more malefic. In oth...

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/...

The Forthcoming Transit/ Gochar of Saturn/ Śani to Libra/ Tulā Rashi on 15th November, 2011

At the present time, when Saturn/ Shani is transiting Virgo/ Kanya Rashi according to the siderial zodiac, we have witnessed many changes, some of them being related to the disturbances in the Prithvi Tattwa, as shown by the earthquake in Japan and the consequent Tsunami. Mercury/ Budh has been debilitated in Pisces/ Meena Rashi at this time but it is equally important to note that Virgo/ Kanya is also a Prithvi Tattwa Rashi or a sign embodying the Earth element. The trine of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn/ Vrishabh, Kanya and Makar relates to Artha/ financial and monetary element relating to the trine of attainment in work, the accumulation of wealth and the daily work and adversities to be encountered. Shani in Kanya has revealed some of the realities associated with this sign by pressuring the matters associated with it. The chart for the transit of Saturn Implications of the Saturn Transit in Virgo in Virgo is given below:   Saturn is also retrograde and aspects the debilitated M...
