Jupiter in Pisces: A Time For Blessings

 
The differences between the journey of Jupiter in Aquarius previously, and now in Pisces, are great. The lordship of Shani debilitates Guru in Makara Rashi/ Capricorn. Though the situation is different in Aquarius, the fact remains that the sign is ruled by Saturn, while Jupiter Himself rules Pisces. 


The Tattwa or the foundational element of the two Rashis is also different. Kumbha Rashi/ Aquarius has Vayu Tattwa while Meena Rashi/ Pisces has Jala Tattwa. Vayu is about strength and movement while Jala is about receptivity and connection. We have often said that Kumbha Rashi is one of the more Karmically loaded signs having significant Karma to be experienced in the charts of people. Apart from this, Kumbha houses the 11th house of the natural zodiac which is also the Badhaka Rashi for the Kalapurusha or the Cosmic Man. 


It is this latter reason which qualifies the placement of Jupiter in this sign because the Devaguru has to work hard to dispel the darkness caused by the natural Badhaka Rashi. In Meena Rashi, Guru has come home and He is comfortable. Guru represents the unconditional blessings for people in general and His comfort and ease is a great opportunity to benefit from His wisdom and blessings. Just as the Graha Drishti of Shani represents trials and challenges, that of Guru represents successes and blessings. 

 

Guru aspects the 5th and 9th Bhavas from His Rashi with His special Graha Drishti while the 7th House is the common aspect given to all the Grahas except Ketu, who does not have a head and therefore cannot see (Drishti). The 5th Bhava is one of the Panaphara Bhava dealing with the future, future plans, progeny, blessings of the Mother Goddess and such matters. Guru’s special 5th Bhava aspect is imbued with all these characteristics. What is more, the 5th Bhava aspect of Guru falls on His sign of exaltation, Karkata/ Cancer where He delights. 





The 9th Bhava from the Lagna relates to fortune, luck, religion, father and higher studies. The 9th house aspect of Guru to Vrishchika Rashi/ Scorpio will help in assimilating the experiences of the past related to this Rashi and the perspective granted by the Drishti of Guru brings fortune. If the position of Guru in transit in Meena Rashi at this time happens to be in an auspicious place from a significant reference point such as the Lagna or the Arudha Lagna, then the blessings can be directly felt in an auspicious Dasha.


In other cases, it will depend on the position occupied by Meena Rashi in the chart under traverse. That would indicate the nature and focus of the influence of Jupiter on the individual during this transit. Pisces is full of the knowledge of the Rishis and is particularly aligned to Para Vidya or metaphysical disciplines but in the Rashi Chakra covers any kind of significant intellectual activity including Apara Vidya. An upsurge in spiritual activity and its auspiciousness can be expected because Pisces is a part of the Moksha Trikona and any Agni Tattwa Rashi in the Lagna will experience this in a more conspicuous way. In any case, as we have said elsewhere, the distinction is not overly important during the present times because Shukra/ Venus is exalted in Pisces and is joined Guru. 


We cannot overlook the fact that all dual signs benefit from this transit of Guru because of the Rashi Drishti of the great benefic to these Rashis.  Therefore, these invaluable blessings are available at this time in a myriad ways and we  can benefit greatly from them.

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
