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.

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
