Supreme Court of India Judgment on Transgender Rights and Its Correlation with Vedic Astrology Transits in April, 2014

The Supreme Court of India Judgment recognizing transgender people as the third sex and granting them rights comes at an interesting astrological time when transit Mercury/ Budha is debilitated/ Neecha/ Nīca in Pisces/ Meena Rashi/ Mīna Rāśi.

This is an instance of the direct impact of the Vedic astrological entities (planets,  signs etc. ) on our contemporary lives.

It is well known in Vedic Astrology that Mercury and Saturn/ Shani/ Śani are sexless/ eunuch Grahas/ planets. Anything to do with transgender people must therefore first reflect in these two planets.

Mercury is debilitated in Pisces these days indicating the prominence of some of its significations which find themselves in debility or dire circumstances. The case made out for the transgender people was founded on the discrimination they face which leads to their lives being mired in poverty and hardship (debility).

Judgments are to be found in Libra/ Tulā Rāśi/ Tula Rashi which is depicted by the balance and where Saturn is currently exalted. Hence we have the debilitated transgender people being lifted (exalted) by Judgment of the Supreme Court. Saturn is the old transgender/ eunuch planet and is happiest when the black robes of the judiciary save it. Rāhu/ Rahu joined shows the pressure group created to bring about an awareness of these issues and present them in a partisan way to secure an authoritative pronouncement which would improve the situation.

The transit chart showing the planetary positions is given below-

 


The Moon shows fructification and manifestation and joined Saturn and Rahu ensured that the issue would attain finality at this time.

I also find that Mercury itself should indicate a change in circumstances because after all the transgender people are no longer debilitated but celebrating the victory and feeling quite exalted. This can be appreciated through the concept of cancellation of debility or Nīcabhaṅga/ Neechabhanga.

If we see the transits from the Lagna/ Ascendants ruled by Mercury, viz. Gemini and Virgo, then we find that Budha/ Mercury is in a Kendra/ Keṅdra/ quadrant from the Lagna striving to improve its lot. However, the elevation is brought about by law, the significator for which is Jupiter/ Gurū/ Guru placed in Gemini/ Mithuna Rāśi/ Rashi ruled by Mercury. In a quadrant from both Mercury owned Lagnas it is Jupiter which has granted cancellation of debility of the transgender people though operation of the law.

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/...

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...
