Difference between Shri Rama vs. Ravana and Sun vs. Rahu in the Vedic Horoscope

There is a common misapprehension that the adversarial stance between the Sun and Rahu in a given horoscope is just a mirror of the battle between Shri Rama and Ravana. This important correlation between two diametrically opposite Karmic entities in the Vedic horoscope is studied at this link in the highlighted text which is a newsletter written on the occasion of Vijaya Dashami or Dusshehra.

Jupiter Transit in Libra on September 12, 2017 in Vedic Astrology

Jupiter transit in Libra : Jupiter, the greatest benefic, moves to Vedic Libra in transit on September 12, 2017. The Jupiter transit is always noteworthy, since apart from being the greatest benefic, it is an outer planet and changes Rashis only after 13 months or so. Its heavy beneficence, therefore, shifts location and the influence if felt by all in their lives. The Gurus : There are two Gurus in Vedic astrology, Jupiter and Venus. Though by their mythic personalities, Jupiter is the preceptor of the Devas and Venus of the Daityas, the Gurus are inscrutable in their working. Their influence in our individual lives is not so readily deciphered as their personalities and portfolios would suggest. Role of the Gurus in Higher Teaching: In higher teachings on the subject of the Gurus, it is systematically derived as to which of the two is ruling the material Karma of the individual, and which the spiritual. Therefore, it is quite possible in a given chart that Venus is

Planets at the time of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Verdict

When the Gurmeet Ram Rahim verdict of guilty was pronounced on August 25, 2017 and violence broke out in parts of the country, the transit Moon was in Virgo, joined the greatest benefic in the zodiac, Jupiter. Many could find this confusing at the outset but the confusion would not be well-founded in Vedic astrology. As we often write, the more advanced works at this resource also delve deeper into the nature of the signs and the planets. Virgo is the 6 th House of the natural zodiac and also deals with illness, debts and enemies and punishment as well. The concept of Danda comes from here. So, we need to be clear that Virgo houses all the malefic potential that may be expected from any 6 th House in any nativity and these 6 th Houses only follow and copy the potential of Virgo. A mention of Virgo generally reminds us of Mercury but we forget that Rahu has its Moolatrikona in Virgo. The most devious of the planets goes to work in the domain of Virgo. It is with this fact that

Transit of Rahu in Cancer and Ketu in Capricorn in Vedic Astrology

Rahu, the planet of past Karma and desires is changing signs, and so is its diametric opposite Ketu. This happens on August 18, 2017. Rahu is moving from Leo to its counterpart Cancer, while Ketu is moving from Aquarius to Capricorn, again linked by the fact that these signs are ruled by Saturn. Rahu was hitherto influencing decisions impacting the future, children, prowess and aggrandizement, while the focus shifts now to home, emotions, matters of the heart, properties and such significations associated with Cancer. Ketu was causing mistakes pertaining to hedonism and taking the broad philosophical stand, sometimes for the sake of correctness only. Ketu brought to full throttle the great affection that unfathomable obstacles have towards human beings. Now, Ketu inspires spirituality through mistakes in work, attitude to work, illness, airy-fairy notions relating to actual professional output and such matters contingent on correct exertions. The additional facet to be noted he

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 lower

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
