Mercury retrograde from 26 May to 19 Jun 2008

Here we go again… Mercury goes retrograde once again. It happens 3 times a year and it lasts for about 3 weeks. This time is from May 27 to June 19, 2008. Then from September 24 to October 15, 2008 and then from January 11, 2009 to February 1, 2009.

This is an important period, and we should be aware of the effects associated with this astrological influence. Since it is so often, we must learn what it means and how to take advantage of it.

Astronomical background

There is no real backwards movement of Mercury; it’s just that we see it this way from Earth, because of the combined movement of the Earth and Mercury around the Sun. However, astrologically this is very relevant.

General influence of Mercury retrograde

Mercury rules over the mind’s processes, studying, communication, businesses, travels and the like. When Mercury reverses its direction, all these areas are affected as well.

The mind turns naturally inwards and people tend to analyze more the own thoughts and follow the common thinking patterns, rather then be curious and eager of new intellectual experiences or challenges. This helps the meditation or the thorough lonely long-term study of a specific matter, but it affects the study of new subjects, the communication with the others, the attention oriented outwards.

Businesses, travels and communications tend to experience delays and different problems. Computers and other processes that work with information may experience crashes, unexpected failures.

Don’t enroll to courses, don’t buy expensive Mercurian items (books, cars, mobile phones etc.), don’t sign important contracts and do not marry.

What is this Mercury retrograde period good for?

It is definitely a very good period for some actions. No time is completely bad for anything, there is a reason in everything happens.

The key is the reversed direction of movement: take any known Mercurian action, reverse its flow, consider the keywords “re-doing something”, “double-checking”, “finish the old projects” and there you are, you’ve found the good side of Mercury retrograde.

For instance, you may want to read again a book you particularly liked, a subject you studied before, meet and discuss with old friends you haven’t met for a long time, travel to places you’ve already been to before.

This is an excellent time to work on old projects that never got to be finished. So, think about the things you started and never finalized.

Next, you might wish to prevent any bad things to happen to you: so double-check your agenda, call your business partners to confirm that everything goes as planned, have everything ready before the deadline and leave some extra time for unexpected events. Make copies of your important files and documents, save your work more often.
The other solution is to go on vacation or at least slow down the pace of your projects. You will find that going slowly during the Mercury retrograde period will spare you many efforts of redoing the same action that wasn’t performed right the first time.

Above all, be generous and compassionate: you are already aware about the influence of this period, but the others aren’t aware of it or there may be uncontrollable events. That’s why you should have more diligence with the others and give them some more time. It’ll be your mental health that you’ll be sparing actually.

Rahu-Ketu Transit (Move)

You must be experiencing changes in life right now, because this year May 2008 is the very important month for the Big planets, like Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu-Ketu.

I have already post two articles for Saturn and Jupiter. Now let me give you article from the Great Vedic Astrologer Komilla Shutton. She has published her article in her useful website http://www.komilla.com/. Enjoy the real knowledge of Vedic Astrology from Komilla. I have given below article word to word from her website, so if you have got any question regarding her article please contact her. You can find her information from our other useful website http://www.astrologerdirectory.net/.

“Rahu Ketu Transit from 30 April 2008 to 13 November 2009, in Capricorn Cancer:
Rahu Ketu move into the Capricorn Cancer axis on 30 April 2008 and will remain there till 13Nov 2009. This brings a relief from Ketu’s tough connection with Saturn in Leo but there are new challenges as well as opportunities ahead in the Capricorn Cancer Axis. Ketu will transit over the Gandanta degree between Leo and Cancer bring some difficult issues to light around 1st May. It will also lead to far reaching changes in people’s life. this degree was crossed by Saturn in November 2006 and July 2007 with tough outcomes for some. This Ketu transit may not be easy for especially if there are planets placed on these Gandanta points.

Rahu and Jupiter conjunction on 12 Feb 2009 closely followed by Mars Rahu conjunction on 15 February at 14º Capricorn will define this transit. Jupiter will be debilitated while Mars is exalted. 14º Capricorn is a highly sensitive degree as this is connected to the degrees of two of the solar eclipses of this axis. The solar eclipse of 1 August 2008 is at 15º33 Cancer and of 26 January 2009 is at 12º30 Capricorn. This conjunction can bring either a major crisis point in the world – last time Rahu Jupiter conjuncted – it was during the First Gulf War – maybe this conjunction can bring an end to the second Gulf War. These conjunctions take place immediately after the taking of office of the new US President, so it may suggest that he/she would take some decisive steps towards ending the Iraq situation.

The other main story of Capricorn Cancer axis is – Capricorn is the sign of Business and usually Saturn will control the excesses of Rahu and this can bring a positive result for cautious investors. Ketu transiting over Cancer – the main significator of housing – will bring further turmoil into the housing area. Cancer’s element is water- so we can expect stormy weather conditions as the heat of Ketu hits the water energy of Cancer. There can also be confusion regarding property market and generally people will not feel satisfied.

How this transit effects you

The area where Ketu is transiting is the more difficult one to deal with. Ketu bring s forth karmic problems and is a time for paying back karmic debts. Rahu will give and promote during its transits. With the nodes one has to be careful not to give into their excesses and always remember that they deal with past karma – they can surprise you with what they bring forward.

Ketu in Cancer shows that emotions can be your vulnerable point and Ketu will reject your emotional needs, so this can be a tough transit. Try to stay calm and don’t ignore the work you must do. If you have planets in Cancer then Ketu can create crisis connected to the karaka or the house rulership of the planets it is transit over. This usually leads to long term change in your life. The nodes will transit through the nakshatras of Ashlesha (for the first 8 months), then Pushya (the next 6 months), and finally Punarvasu (the last 2 months), each bringing its own subtle influence.

Rahu in Capricorn feels more at home as Capricorn disciplines the Rahu energy and, in the process, forces you to be more realistic about life. Saturn is the slowest moving planet and will most likely stay in the same sign throughout the entire nodal transit. On of the problems that we face during this Capricorn transit is that Saturn its ruler is transiting the 8th house from itself- therefore not giving the full positive impact of this Rahu Transit. Saturn in the 8th from Rahu transit will give some aspect of insecurity or changes in the house where Rahu is transiting at present for you. When Saturn changes to Virgo in September 2009- this will improve the quality of the Rahu transit in Capricorn as Saturn moves into the 9th house from Rahu. This may be the time you get the rewards of this Rahu transit. The Nakshatra Dhanishta (for the first 4 months), Shravana (the next 8 months) and Uttara Phalguni (the final 6 months), will also influence the subconscious.

This axis is probably the toughest one to experience. The relative relationship between the Moon and Saturn keeps changing on a daily basis creating many emotional disturbances. It can seem as if your life is in eclipse through a non-understanding of your own emotional issues. But unless this transit replicates your own birth axis, you will be able to control these issues by remaining aware of the potential.

The eclipses are going through Capricorn and Cancer – so if these are your signs expect some turbulence and changes in your life. They need not be negative but will bring transformation.

For Gemini and Sagittarius Lagna- this axis runs through their 2nd and 8th house axis and will transit the 22nd Drekkana that can create problems- especially for health.

For Gemini and Sagittarius Moon- this axis will travel through the 64th Navamsha and can create transformation, health problems and general insecurities regarding life.“

Last but not least, Thanks to Komilla Shutton for her extra ordinery useful article.

Ideology of Numerology

Numerology is a science of exploring hidden powers of numbers and their influence on human beings.

Indians see numbers as symbols of certain types of cosmic powers. And they link them with spirituality. For example 0 is a number that encircles some part of the infinite universe. The inner part of it is separated from the vast outer space. This is similar to human body where the soul (Jeevatma) resides. A human being always feels that he is separate and the outer universe is different from him. He confines his soul with his present body and thinks that he and the body is one and the same. Thus he has forgotten the truth that he is the all-pervading God. This is called cosmic delusion (Maaya). So 0 represents the cosmic delusion. This means 0 gives false impression that whatever is not there, is there. Let us add 0 after 1, then that 1 appears as 10. This means 1 is assuming a different form, because of 0. This is same as the super-soul appearing in different forms because of Maaya.

Every number will have mental and spiritual plane represented by its top half part and the material worldly affairs are represented by its remaining bottom part.

When we connect a series of points in a single direction, then it becomes 1. Thus 1 represents single-mindedness in achieving the objectives, creativity, and starting new ventures. Its pillored appearance represents independence and leadership qualities.

2 is round shaped at top. It is a open 0. That means there is no complete Maaya at mental level. There is a scope to receive and release new ideas and concepts. So 2 represent flexibility and diplomacy. The bottom of 2 shows a horizontal line that is attached firmly to ground. This means if these inventive ideas are properly used, the person can achieve highest success in material world.

Take 3, it is having open rounded ends at its top as well as at bottom. This shows continuous receiving and releasing of new ideas and involving into new developments. It represents ambition, self-expression and idealism. This number makes a person to reap material benefits from his intelligence and spiritualism.

Just close the rounded ends of 3, you will get 8. It represents Maaya at both the levels. The person is wrapped by complete ignorance of what is happening outside his perception. He cannot come out of the clutches of karmic forces. The balanced loops of 8 represent balanced nature, patience and discipline.

Contemplate on 4, it is looking like a person sitting stable, attached to ground. The triangle above represents fire that promotes a strong desire for material benefits. The person will become materialistic. 4 may also represent unconventional behaviour.

5 is a quiet different number, with flat head and open rounded bottom. Flatness represents stability. The person would reach a clear and stable mental state which he uses in receiving and processing the material in worldly projects. 5 is a sign of dynamism and communication. This number makes one a successful business man.

7 is having similarity with 5, in such a way it is having a flat head and weak base. 7 indicates high level of spiritualism and sensitivity. But the person will not use his mental and spiritual stability to achieve material means.

6 is a number that is fully rounded at the bottom. It looks like a pregnant lady. It symbolises pregnancy, artistic and feminine qualities. The 0 formation at bottom indicates Maaya that pushes the person in love with family- related matters and enjoyment.

9 is a number that is nothing but inverted 6. It represents love to the world. The 0 formation at top, overshadows a person’s intelligence with Maaya. The person cannot think but work. So there is a conflict. He would be quick in actions and courageous.

While the numbers have the above significance, each number has been attached to a particular planet in Astrology, the reason is: certain planet produces the similar vibration of a certain number. Thus 1- Sun, 2- Moon, 3- Jupiter, 4- Uranus or Rahu, 5- Mercury, 6- Venus, 7- Neptune or Kethu, 8- Saturn, and 9- Mars. Number 0 should not be attached to any planet, since it is the root cause of all the numbers. It increases the strength of a number.

The numbers have been attached to Alphabet also.
1- A,I,J,Q,Y.
2- B,K,R.
3- C,G,L,S.
4- D,M,T.
5- E,H,N,X.
6- U,V,W.
7- O,Z.
8- F,P.

Now let us take an illustration. SWAMI VIVEKANANDA, a great saint of India, who shook the world by his philosophical teachings, was born on 12th January 1863.

His birth date number: 12 = 3.
His birth compound number: 12+1+1863 = 22.
His birth single number: 2+2 = 4.
His name single number: SWAMI VIVEKANANDA = 52 = 7.

Vivekananda’s birth date number 3 and name number 7 represent that he is ambitious, versatile and a spiritual guru. His ambitions are more focussed on service to poor and downtrodden as is shown by 4 in his birth single number. He had unconventional and revolutionary ideas in reforming the society. His birth compound number 22 shows that he is highly religious and inclined in purification of mind and soul. Moreover, his birth single number and name numbers 4 and 7 are harmonious, thus making him a renowned person. Let us take only VIVEKANANDA= 37 which clearly shows that he is a spiritual guru. And 3+7 = 1 shows beginning of new ventures which is an indication of his great mission to bring moral and spiritual upliftment. So we can say that Vivekananda’s life would be greatly influenced by numbers 3 and 7 and their harmonics 9 and 2. In his case, 2 represent deep involvement in mental faculties like meditation and mantra japa.

1. He met his guru Sri Rama Krishna in 1881 = 9 (His age: 18 = 9)
2. He started his journey in search of truth in 1890 = 9 (His age: 27 = 9)
3. He reached Kanya Kumari and visualized Divine Mother in 1892 = 2 (His age: 29 = 2)
4. He participated in the Parliament of religions in Chicago in 1893 = 3 (His age: 30 = 3)
5. He came back to India and started Rama Krishan Mission Association in 1897 = 7 (His age:
34 = 7)
6. The saint left his body in 1902 = 3 (His age: 39 = 3).

Importance of Mrityunjaya mantra

Once as K.N. Rao was analyzing a friend’s chart, he noticed a planetary combination that was particularly dangerous for him in the near future. He strongly recommended that he regularly recite the maha mrityunjaya mantra, the traditional mantra of protection, over the following weeks. About a month later as the man was doing a routine inspection in a warehouse, a large support beam suddenly gave way and about 200 cement bags landed on top of him! His co-workers were quite certain that he had been killed beneath that weight. However, when they finally removed the bags they found that he was not only alive, but that the only injuries he sustained was a hairline fracture to his hip!

The mrityunjaya mantra is considered one of the maha mantras or great Sanskrit mantras because of its potency to give protection and manifold blessings. Maha mrityunjaya literally means the great victory over death. It is associated with Shiva, the destroyer of ignorance, and the liberator from the cycle of death and rebirth. It is therefore a life giving mantra that not only protects the physical body and gives health, but purifies the mind at a deep level.

The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra

Om tryambakam yajamahe
sugandhim pushtivardhanam
urvarukamiva bandhanan
mrityor mukshiya mamritat.

“I bow down to that three-eyed Lord Shiva, who is full of sweet fragrance, who nourishes all living beings. May He free me from the bondage of samsara and death, just as a ripe cucumber is separated from the vine. May I be fixed in immortality!”

Shiva is said to have three eyes, because he sees the past, present, and future simultaneously. He is the lord of the three worlds – physical, astral, and causal. He is also beyond the three gunas – Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas – or creation, sustenance, and destruction. As we chant the maha mrityunjaya mantra we identify with Shiva, develop his attributes, and receive his blessings.

In the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, sage Parashara prescribes the maha mrityunjaya mantra as an astrological remedial measure on at least 24 separate occasions.

For instance, in Chapter 55 verse 52 he says,”In this critical period, with the recitation (japa) of Mrityunjaya mantra the evil effects will get mellowed down (reduced) with the blessings of Lord Shiva.”

Foreign Travel. Is it possible?

People of Countries like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Srilanka are mostly dreaming to go to aborad to make make life more prosporous and better. I am getting many questions from my clients regarding the possibility to go to abroad.

During my research I found one of the useful article for the persons who knows littlebit Hindu Vedic astrology.

Travelling to new places, meeting new people either for purpose of business or just for pleasure helps gains knowledge and broaden our horizons and perspective. It makes us wiser. For a long time now, Indians have chosen to go abroad for the same of employment – to avail of opportunities for professional satisfaction and to make more money. Arguably this trend is reversing in the last few years as the economy revives in India but visiting other countries is still considered as desirable and a source of excitement for a lot of people.

There are various reasons why people move from one place to another:

· Journeys within a geographical region due to nature of work – what we colloquially call “travelling job”.

· Business travel to a foreign land.

· Tourism or pilgrimage.

· Change is residence due to profession or after marriage if the spouse is settled in a different place.

Astrologically, the rules to be considered for predicting travel are:

· 12th House: In a horoscope, 12th house shows separation. Malefic influences on 12th house make a person wander from place to place.

· 3rd and 9th House: While 4th house represents comfort of a house, 3rd and 9th being 12th (causing separation) and 6th (alien-ness) from 4th denote journeys. 3rd house should be considered for short journeys and 9th for long journeys. I think this is due to the fact that from 9th house we also look at religion and hence pilgrimages, which usually were very long in olden times. Moreover, malefic influences on 4th house, by way of occupation will make one leave his/her birth place, i.e. travel to a foreign location.

· 7th House: A lot of sages have mentioned in their works that residence in foreign countries should be looked at from seventh house.

· Movable and Watery signs: Position of lords of above mentioned houses in these signs indicates travel.

· Rahu and Saturn: These planets influence travel in their dasha and antardasha. Rahu signifies the foreign element in the chart, something that is unconventional and out of ordinary.

· Sun: While positioned in any of the houses – 3rd, 7th, 9th and 12th, Sun influences journeys.

To understand the conditions that lead to foreign travel, combinations between these planets and houses are important. Ascendant lord in moveable or watery sign along with 9th and/or 12th house lord would indicate foreign travel. Combinations with 3rd house lord would indicate short travels instead of long, overseas travel.

Influence of 7th house lord is necessary for settling in a foreign country. Influence of Rahu or other malefic planets on 4th would give the same result by causing estrangement and would show a person leaving the comforts of residence. These combinations along with other combination of journeys would mean a one way ticket to a foreign country. Correspondingly, beneficial influences on 4th house in combination with 9th house would indicate increased attachment with the original place of residence and the person would come back home.

The timing of journey is always governed by 9th or 12th house lords and planets influencing these houses either though aspect or occupation of the house. Influence of lord of difficult houses – 6th house and in particular 8th house would indicate problems with travel, e.g. an unfavourable Mars in a chart in this scenario would indicate possible accidents while travelling.

Important of Yoga in our Life

Posted by 9grah on April 4, 2008

Yoga is a fantastic remedy for overcoming problems that a modern man is facing in his daily life. The main aim of Yoga is to enhance the auto immune system, to increase the vital energy in the body system. This will help to increase the vital energy in the body and help to develop the though of mental efficiency. This will help to minimize the mental attitude of the human. A full set Yoga system will be of 15-20 minutes daily which will be followed by meditation which is the main stream to increase the concentration.

Yoga is a precious pragmatic science evolved over thousand of years which is dealing with physical, moral, mental and spiritual well being for man. The term Yoga is derived from Sanskrit meaning to bind, join, attach and yoke and it will increase one’s concentration and attention.

The system of Yoga teaches the individual soul (Jivatma) which can be united with communion with the Cosmos (Paramatma) and it will help to attain Moksha. Yoga will find grace within himself through his practice and he finds fulfillment in his life. Yoga will help to reach wisdom in work or skillful living and this will bring harmony in your life.

The practice of yoga is not a course or exam which can be completed within a stipulated period of time. But it can be based on the dedication towards their practice. One cannot expect favorable results within an exact period of time. Yoga is based on the relationship between Guru and Shishya and really this is special when compared to other relationship like husband and wife or friends. A Guru should be free from world affairs and he should be a role model for shishya. But shishya should have higher realization and development and he is having more responsibilities and he should have more love and devotion towards his guru.

Maharishi Patanjali’s have given Yoga Sutra or Yoga Aphorisms have given some of the enumerated eight steps. The eight steps to be followed for yoga are.

(1) Asana - Assumption of right posture
(2) Dharana - Concentration
(3) Pranayama - Control of prana
(4) Samadhi - Absorption in the Supreme
(5) Yama - The various forms of abstention from evil doings
(6) Pratyahara - Withdrawal of the mind from sense objects
(7) Niyama - Various observances
(8) Dhyana - Meditation
