MY SPIRITUAL WISDOM

First thing First : Use 2013 while writing the year and not ’13 as most of us know a little about the No 13… The year 2013 adds to 6 number (20+1+3) and will be ruled by    Venus, the planet of love, {even lust!} beauty, luxury, music, art and entertainment. Lord Venus (No 6) in Numerology governs those born on the 6th, 15th and 24th as well as those born in the Taurus and Libra a  Zodiacs .  and therefore, all those who’s number add up to 6  are expected to do well in 2013.   Number 6, Venus is in tandem with 3, Jupiter (who is occupying Venus house Taurus till May 2013)    that governs those born on 3rd, 12th, 21st & 30th & Pisces & Sagittarius as well as with No, Mars that rules 9th, 18th & 27th born as well as Arians & Scorpions.   People ruled by these number are expected to have a good year. India (15 Aug) adds to 3 (Jupiter) and Bharat adds to number 6 (Venus), Jupiter, the biggest planet of expansion, will have a great influence on India in

Among the nine planets recognized by the Vedic astrology for predictive purpose, slow-moving planets (Saturn, Rahu,Ketu and Jupiter) play a major role in determining how good or bad  the next year would be for us. The fast moving planets (Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars) determine how good or bad our day-today life moves. During the year 2013 Saturn will be in Libra. It re-entered Libra on 4 August, 2012 and is continuing its onward journey in the same sign in direct motion until 8 February 2013 when it turns retrograde. During the retrograde movement, Saturn rejoins sign Virgo on 17 May, 2013, becomes direct on 25 June, 2013 , re-entering sign Libra on 3 August 2013, will remain here during the rest of the year till 2014. Rahu, Ascending Node of the Moon: It will join the sign Libra on 22 December, 2012 and will continue its passage through sign during the year 2013. Ketu, the Descending Node of the Moon. It will join the sign Aries on 22 December, 2012 and continue it

This winter solstice has been particularly hyped by the many and varied statements about the " ending" of the Mayan calendar on December 21, 2012" . What is your reaction to this nervous excitement about the calendar ending?  What happens, when our calendar ends every year? We just cycle to a (buy)new one. Most ancient cultures agreed in the perception that time is cyclical and not linear, so the idea of us hitting a wall in time suddenly and everything falling apart and the world ending seems a bit unrealistic to us. The center of our galaxy lies in the direction of 6° of the sign Sagittarius, in the lunar mansion (Nakshatra) called   Mula , which means " Root ." When we look at the vastness of space and the spiraling cycles of time, its hard to imagine that there would be one day where everything comes to a head and then falls apart. Looking at the scales of hundreds and thousands of years, we see that things change in trends and tides with certain i

Sun moving into Sagittarius on Dec 15, leading the way into difficult times for the next one month due to negative influnce of melefic planets.  Sun will be aspected by Saturn, who is in Libra and Rahu who will move to Libra on Dec 22, 2012, may cause serious problems and mass agitations, disputes and clashes.   The Sun represents our soul, our life's purpose and our spiritual identity and this what will be tested.   Generally Sun moving from Scorpio to Sagittarius  is like emerging into an exciting new adventure after a period of intense transformation. This happens of course each year for us and beautifully enough during the time we call the winter solstice. The Sun joins Mars in Sagittarius, giving quite a bit of courage and drive as we move forward with our lives, plans and actions. We can begin to feel some warmth and fire as we look toward the future, inspired by our desires and that which seems to naturally float our boats.  Mars Transits Exaltation Sign Capricorn D

Mercury Transits Scorpio December 5 – 26 Mercury as ruler of communication and exchange of goods, data and energy is a very important energy in our day-to-day life. With the smoky, confusing quality of Rahu, who is also transiting in this sign, we may find it difficult to communicate, especially due to ambiguity about desire and motivation that seems to be coming from hidden parts of the psyche. Mercury dipping back into Libra may have brought some light and understanding in its retrograde movement since Nov 6, and perhaps a bit of ease in self-expression due to Libra also being occupied by Venus, ruler of Libra, and Saturn, the stern but truthful force that perhaps urged Mercury for a spell to sit quietly for a few moments before trying to speak. On December 5, Mercury returns to Scorpio, into the ghostly clutches of Rahu, currently in occupation of the early degrees of Scorpio as he prepares to change signs. Mercury is easily influenced. Running into Rahu again, we may see

Venus Transits Virgo till November 16 Venus entered Mercury's earth sign during the last week of October, moving away from Leo. Mercury and Venus are natural friends, which usually means comfort for these planets occupying the others' signs. However, Virgo is actually Venus' sign of debilitation, indicating that the expression of Venus through this sign can be difficult. For the final 10 days of Venus' transit through Mercury-ruled Virgo, Mercury will be in retrograde motion, further confusing the expression of Venus-Love. Venus is our capacity for love, connection and recognition of oneness with all beings. Through Venus we exercise compassion and celebrate beauty. It is Venus that urges us to seek happiness, love and comfort. Venus moving through Virgo can be difficult for happiness and satisfaction within relationship because the neutral, analytical nature of Virgo can cause us to be fault-finding or critical. Add to that the retrograde motion of Mercury,

Mars, the planet of drive and power, has moved from Venus' sign Libra into his own water sign, Scorpio. Occupation of a sign that a planet rules gives that planet a good chance of operating at optimal levels. Mars is coming off a couple of difficult months in which his full expression of power has been limited. Limited by occupation of signs where he isn't at home, limited by association with Saturn and limited by three rounds of Kala Sarpa yoga. Mars in Scorpio with Rahu means, we should prepare ourselves to reset our power switches. Mars moving through Scorpio till November 8, 2012. I recommend using caution at this time. Mars as the agent for aggression and accidents coming into proximity with the fate-bringing nodal Rahu -Ketu axis could be a recipe for minor disasters especially due to the perception that the road is wide open after the end of Kala Sarpa and Mars' escape from the influence of Saturn, who greatly impedes the desire of Mars to lunge forward.

Starting on the day of the full Moon (purnima), September 29, the observance of   Pitra Paksha  is being observed, continuing through the fortnight of the waning Moon and ending at the new Moon on October 15. Pitru Paksha means “ fortnight of the ancestors ” and the general idea is to honor the generations that have preceded you and departed from this world. The rituals and customs surrounding this giving of honor to the ancestors are quite complex and specific, but we can perhaps observe the idea in a simple way by remembering our ancestors and grandparents, especially by offering them a small portion of your food on a separate plate before you eat during this time. Feeding the hungry is another way of observing Pitru Paksha. Donations to food banks or offering a meal to a person in need are other options, especially on the final day of the observation, which is October 14, amavasya, the day leading up to the moment of the new Moon

Lord Sun (as per Indian Vedic Astrology) will be transiting in Virgo till October 15, 2012. The planet of life energy will be receiving an auspicious aspect from Lord Jupiter who is transiting in Taurus.
