Ravi Shastri- Yogas in his Vedic Astrology Horoscope

Cricket fundamentals: Ravi Shastri has always been in the news. Whether it was his beginning as a slow, left-arm orthodox bowler or his growth as an all-rounder, he has almost always been at the forefront of events. Coaching: Recently, he has been appointed head-coach of the Indian cricket team after being a notable presence in the commentary-box. Ravi Shastri helped the Indian cricket team earlier with his distinctive style and came out with flying colours. He has not been shy of taking up the mantle despite the unseemly controversy between the former coach Anil Kumble, and the captain Virat Kohli. Almost immediately he appears to have done away with the appointment of Rahul Dravid as one who would give inputs from the batting perspective, and Zaheer Khan, who would give inputs from the bowling perspective. World Stage: Ravi Shastri has played County cricket in the past and also worked on the international stage as an ambassador.   Batting: From batting l...

Landmark Changes in Life and Vedic Astrology

Life-transition and change simpliciter : In life, we often place great importance on times of landmark changes in life, or life-transitions, and since Vedic astrology is concerned with this life and everything connected with it, these life-transitions become an important area of focus and investigation in this spiritual art. It is often that the individual asks, ‘when will things change and in what way’, and more infrequently in times of great fulfillment, ‘how long will this great streak continue, and what follows after this’. A life-transition is a larger concept than that of mere change, as changes are implicit at smaller levels, in general life itself. They may be notable or may not be notable, but a life-transition is an alteration of the very framework in which existence continues. Needless to say then, it is a fundamental factor in life which alters directions, areas of focus, ways of thinking and being, goals and ambitions in any permutation and combination depe...

Saturn Transit in Sagittarius from January 26, 2017 in Vedic Astrology: Its Impact and Implications in the Context of Your Life

Prelude to Saturn (Shani) Transit in Vedic (sidereal) Sagittarius (Dhanusha) : The Saturn (Shani) transit in Sagittarius (Dhanusha) begins on January 26, 2017 in the evening (IST). This is a significant event like no other because Shani (Saturn) is the great malefic and human being born to address Karma which was hitherto not forgiven, leading to the present birth, must adhere to the principal planet indicating that Karma. In other words, for you, it is of utmost importance to see where the malefic aspect of the Karma resides during any given transit, to better determine and presence, and of course the absence of suffering. This transit has to be judged primarily from the Lagna, or the Udaya Lagna, or the rising sign (Ascendant) at the time of birth. But the judgment of the transit from the Aru d ha Lagna (all external realities in life) and the Moon (emotional and societal realities) is no less significant. If you are aware of these reference points in your own Vedic horos...
