Bābā Rāmdev and Jyotiśa/ Vedic Astrology/ Baba Ramdev and Jyotisha (Vedic Astrology)

Baba Ramdev once criticised Jyotish as being an unfounded art or belief system.
One only needs to study the nature of the transit Moon at the time of the fiasco of his ill-advised political initiative.

The transit Moon is eclipsed by Ketu taking away all elements of genuine social connection and compassion. In the Vara Chakra this is the worst type of Yoga with Ketu being the 8th planet from the Moon. This was a campaign with an edge of latent violence (Ketu) and it is a good thing it did not erupt from the masses.
Debilitated Rahu aspects the Moon both with Rashi Drishti (sign aspect) and planetary aspect (Graha Drishti) showing circumstances that indicate fallen political aspirations and machinations (Rahu). It also shows complete calculation and prior planning to influence the masses through the planetary aspect of Rahu to the Moon showing desire to lead the masses in a specific direction.
Saturn (Shani) also aspects the Moon and the nodes with both sign aspect and planetary aspect. There is a lot of impurity while seemingly espousing the cause of the poor and the underprivileged (Shani) as the Graha is in Virgo and this is the entire foundation of the exercise as Shani is retrograde. The poor and the common man pinned their hopes on this political initiative.
Another crucial facet which might not be ignored is the fact that Gemini/ Mithun is the exaltation sign of the planet Rahu which in its most conventionally positive aspects leads to political aspirations and is capable of giving the crown as it pictorially and mythically depicts the head, which bears the crown. The Mithun/ Gemini-Dhanu/ Sagittarius axis has massive significance in Indian polity with nearly each Prime Minister of the country having strong planets in this axis and the deep impact of the political Rahu on the Amatyakaraka (AmK) or other features of the horoscope directly linked to work and Karma.
These are all pointers to the misplaced ambition of the seemingly spiritual-Yogic march to attack corruption.
The police action was prompt and correct as Mars is strong in Aries/ Mesha and was guided by the correct liberal values shown by Shani. The illusion broke once the Moon moved to Cancer/ Karka and everyone went home (Cancer) including the Baba.
Also, justice can begin at home (Karka) and the Graha Drishti of Mars/ Mangal to Cancer/ Karka ensured that the Enforcement Directorate/ ED and other agencies would investigate the tax realities and fund sourcing (Jupiter) of the Baba, the two planets referred to being joined together in the dynamic Aries where the Sun (Dharma) is exalted.

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

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

A METHODOLOGY FOR VEDIC CHART INTERPRETATION

The following is an attempt to lay down a general method to conduct professional chart analysis. It appears to have worked well for the author in his practice. Notably though, it need not be the best way to interpret charts and the astrologer must find her own way when it comes to developing a structure with which to unravel any given chart. Some of the more general features of interpretation are being omitted for fear of the paper becoming unwieldy but certain crucial aspects of Jyotish interpretation are being explained since these are not very widely used. The author is indebted to the works of Pt. Sanjay Rath, author, scholar and Jyotish Guru of Sri Jagannath Center. It is through assimilating the writings of Pt. Rath that the author has been able to progress from the fundamentals of Jyotish to a somewhat deeper understanding. ARUDHA PADAS: The houses as reckoned from the Lagna/ Ascendant reveal the truth about the native. This is metaphysical reality as distinguished from precipit
