My Star-Gazing: Scientific Vedic Astrological Forecast - Nov/2018

Hello Friends,
Here-below is the Astrological Chart of the sky in November.


Last 2 weeks of October and first week of Nov this year, has been a tough month for many, lots of disappointments, hardships, a fall from your ego, closed doors, missed appointments. When it rains, it will pour, & brings everybody down. The daylight hours get reduced, a few rainy days / fog / smog and it brings the onset of winter depression and gloom.
The Stars tell the real story, the planetary combination & the zodiac can foresee what is in store, have a look at the October report.
It is darkest before the dawn, however things are rapidly changing, few more days & things will brighten up for the better.


Few significant astrological events occurring in the coming months           :


1. Diwali is celebrated in the month of Kartik on the darkest night of the lunar month (no Moon) & will be celebrated on, Wednesday, November 7, this year. Have a safe & blessed Diwali.

2. Sun transits Scorpio (8): 16-Nov - 16-Dec  .
The Sun moves out of its sign of debilitation on the 16-Nov, into friendly territory. The outlook will change suddenly, those closed doors will begin to open & present the new opportunity. Have faith in yourself & your confidence will carry you through.
During this time, The Sun becomes conjoint with Mercury (Budh) & Jupiter (Guru). There are 3 positive combinations here :

A. The Sun is also hemmed between benefic planets on either side Venus (Shukra), Mercury (Budh) & Jupiter (Guru) & forms a Raj Yoga : Ubhayachari Yoga (Nov-16 to Dec-16) as it has planets on either side, which magnifies it's energy many times over. This is a very favourable indication & produces huge rewards.
Ubhayachari Yoga: children born during this period will have good health, good looks & lucky
When planets other than the moon are present on either side of the Sun, Ubhayachari yoga is formed. This produces a native with a strong physique, capability to shoulder great responsibility, learning, good-looks, wealth. The best part of this person will be that he / she will be able to handle the most complicated situation with a balanced approach.

B. A planetary necklace - "a garland of planets" - some planets/ stars line-up after Nov-16 / "Graha Malika" :
Starting with Venus in Libra (7) and ending with Mars in Aquarius (11).
Planets are spread out into a chain of adjacent signs. This is a significant thing to note because of two points. First, planets function well when they have space and are not competing with other planets for expression in the same sign. Second, when this garland appears, it often indicates a chain of events that becomes significant for an individual in their horoscope or for all of us collectively.

C. The Sun becomes conjoint with Mercury (Budh) & Jupiter (Guru) in Scorpio (8) - Nov-16 to Dec-16. This is a auspicious combination as these planets are friendly to each other. Jupiter (guru) being the promoter of peace and harmony will lead charge and provide stable environment for peace, provoke deep thought / wisdom & promote righteous behavior.

3. Mars transits Aquarius (11) : 6-Nov – 23-Dec
Mars moves out of its sign of exaltation into Aquarius. By doing so, it moves away from the dark influence of Ketu. This is also significant as it reduces our aggressive behavior & anger, which in many circumstances is the root of many social evils. It may be better in a way as it's always better to think with the brain rather than be impulsive. 

4. Venus transits Libra (7) : 01-Sep - 01-Jan-19 (exalted)
Venus in own sign & exalted, resumes forward motion Nov-16, provides a positive environment to kindle new relationships and to be creative.

Summary :
First 2 weeks of Nov are a slow grind & hard, however things change rapidly thereafter for the positive.

Best Regards,

My Star-Gazing: Scientific Vedic Astrological Forecast - Oct/2018

Hello Friends,
Here-below is the Astrological Chart of the sky in October.


















Few significant astrological events occurring in the coming months :
1. Sun transits Libra (7): 17-Oct - 16-Nov (debilitated)  .
The Sun (your self consciousness, ego, pride) transits Libra (7) in Oct-Nov & in its sign of debilitation, it's also over-shadowed by a conjugation of a retrograde (moving backwards) Venus during this transit. If things were not bad enough, it's about to get worse. Venus is all powerful at this time. We're going to have a huge challenge in finding a balance between Self & Others, Work & Pleasure - striking a balance will be hard, & relationships may deteriorate. The entire zodiac, also seems to be in the grip of a slight - Kaal Saarp Yoga. Avoid conflict situations during this time.

2. Mars transits Capricorn (10) : 2-May – 5-Nov (exalted)
Mars is exalted in Capricorn (10), it is positive for some. This period is one of the most significant astrological event of 2018, as it also comes in conjugation with Ketu. Both Mars & Ketu are non-social planets & this period may notice a few big events. Ketu is Karmic in nature, it evokes instances & events relating to your past, your past life, dreams which may hold deep meaning & uneasy sleep, it may also draw your interest towards "moksha".

3. Venus transits Libra (7) : 01-Sep - 01-Jan-19 (exalted)
Venus in own sign & exalted, however behaves erratically & becomes retrograde Oct-05 (moving backwards)
There is a metamorphosis :
Venus is on a journey of transformation from an Evening Star to a Morning Star -  It begins to move in line with the Sun in the zodiac as an "evening star" & eventually disappearing from sight & finally emerging later as the "morning star" . During this time of transformation - it appears to make a descent into the underworld, setting in the West as the Evening Star and then rising again in the East as the Morning Star.
Remember - that the transformation of Venus from an Evening Star to a Morning Star is one from the "god of love" to the "god of war".
Western, Persian & Vedic Astrology differ slightly on the analysis of this transformation / metamorphosis - However all agree that this brings about interesting changes & turbulent times.
The exact conjugation of Sun & Venus is on Oct-26

Venus "the Evening Star" looking West to the Evening Sky.













Venus "the Morning Star" looking East to the rising Sun.


Summary : Avoid conflict situations during this time.
Navaratri 2018 in Canada will begin on : Tuesday, October 9
and ends on : Thursday, October 18
Devi Maa, bless my family & friends.

Best Regards,

Sun transits its own sign Leo (5) and is free to express it's positive energy. This will once again be a month of forward momentum
.
The Sun receives the 8th aspect from Mars in the later part of Aug & first 2 weeks of Sep, and that will be a beneficial boost to it's energy.

2. Mars transits Capricorn (10) : 2-May – 5-Nov (exalted)
Mars is exalted in Capricorn (10), it is positive for some. This period is one of the most significant astrological event of 2018, as it also comes in conjugation with Ketu. Both Mars & Ketu are non-social planets & this period may notice a few big events. Ketu is Karmic in nature, it evokes instances & events relating to your past, your past life, dreams which may hold deep meaning & uneasy sleep, it may also draw your interest towards "moksha".

3. Mercury transits Virgo (6) : 19-Sep - 6-Oct (exalted)

Venus in own sign & exalted is benefic. Venus also joins Jupiter during this transit and both being the Gurus, will provide a bit a peace & harmony in day to day life.

My Star-Gazing: Scientific Vedic Astrological Forecast - May/2018

Hello Friends,
Here-below is the Astrological Chart of the sky in May




Few significant astrological events occurring in the coming months :
1. Sun transits Taurus (2): 15-May - 15-Jun  .
Sun is going to transit Taurus, though the Sun is in an unfriendly sign, however there's no direct malefic influence and is therefore free to express it's positive energy during this time. This will once again be a month of forward momentum, however much of the energy should be focused on consolidation maintaining your gains.
During this transit, the Sun is also hemmed between benefic planets on either side Mercury (Budh) & Venus (shukra) & forms a Raj Yoga : Ubhayachari Yoga (May-15 to May-26) as it has planets on either side (in the 2nd house : Venus & in the 12 house : Mercury). This is a very favourable indication & produces huge rewards.

Ubhayachari Yoga: children born during this period will have good health, good looks & lucky
When planets other than the moon are present on either side of the Sun, Ubhayachari yoga is formed. This produces a native with a strong physique, capability to shoulder great responsibility, learning, good-looks, wealth. The best part of this person will be that he will be able to handle the most complicated situation with a balanced approach

2. Mars transits Capricorn (10) : 2-May – 5-Nov (exalted)
Mars is exalted in Capricorn (10), it is positive for some as it will indicate a turning of the tide. This period is one of the most significant astrological event of 2018, as it also comes in conjugation with Ketu. Both are non-social planets & this period may notice a few big events. Ketu is Karmic in nature & there will be a lot of positive - negative energy flowing during this time. I already heard news of recent rumblings of big volcanoes, spikes in the markets, etc, etc..who knows what may lie ahead.
The Sun receives the 4th aspect from Mars in the later part of May, and that will be a beneficial boost to it's energy.
We'll examine a bit more on this combination in the coming months as Mars-Ketu begin to show their impact, keeps your eyes open & ears tuned.
Be safe & be blessed.

My Star-Gazing: Scientific Vedic Astrological Forecast - Apr/2018

Hello Friends,
March was unique; it had 2 full Moons, Mar-01 & Mar-31, it's a rare phenomenon, a second full moon in a calendar month, & called a Blue Moon. It's rare & the next blue Moon will be on Oct 31-2020 .
Here-below is the Astrological Chart of the sky in April





Few significant astrological events occurring in the coming months :
1. Sun Transits Aires (1): 14-Apr – 15-May  .
Sun is going to transit Aires & is exalted (Unch), it's free to express it's energy.
The Sun during this time is fully in command of the Zodiac, it shines brightest & so this is a good time for clear self-expression. The Sun represents the self, the soul and the life purpose; without the Sun, life wouldn't be possible on our planet.
Combinations: The Sun is conjunct with Venus & both receive the 7th aspect (dristhi) from Jupiter (Guru), both are in-turn are also providing a 7th aspect to Jupiter. Venus is looking towards his own home Libra(7) & current transit resident Jupiter, this seems like a treaty. This is again an interesting combination, similar to last month.
In Hindu mythology, Gods & Demons are forever locked in conflict in the heavens. When there is a exchange of houses / treaty amongst their respective kings, there's peace on earth.
There are no bounds to this auspicious combination.

2. Mercury Transits Pisces (12) : 2-Mar – 9-May (Debilitated)
Mercury being the first Planet from the Sun, follows the Sun closely & is free from the rule of being combust by the energy of the Sun.
It is the controller of communication. Mercury is debilitated in Pisces(12) & as if swimming alone in a giant Ocean, its powers are greatly diminished.
During this time if you feel that no one is listening to what you have to say & words get lost in translation, then look no further than within yourself to find the answer.

3. Mars Joins Saturn in Sagittarius (9) : 7-Mar – 2-May - To Do or not to Do, that is the question
There's a huge tussle going on between Mars & Saturn. Both are opposites to their nature.
Whereas Mars is the initiator, energetic. Saturn on the other hand is aloof, detached, slow & unconnected.
It would be very hard to make any decision in any family, business, work, etc.


Overall - Communications are obstructed, you'll feel as if words are lost in translation. There's a big debate : To do or not to do. However there's positive energy from the Sun, Jup & Venus & that'll will provide good initiatives to any new project.

Happy Easter,
Have a blessed day,
