The Planets, Astrology and Us-What is the connection???

I had been always a great fan of vedic astrology, also known as Hindu astrology, which has led me to dive in the ocean of astrology. I am an ardent student of astrology which gives us great insights on our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. So it helps us to provide us greater understanding of our inherent strengths, potentials and capabilities as well as weaknesses, deficiencies and shortcomings. We can make use of our available strengths and improve our deficient areas by working on with our conscious mind and deliberate endeavors. By knowing our innate strengths and deficiencies via astrology, we can very well know who we are and what purpose we came within this world to accomplish. Based on these insights we can prepare ourselves to unearth our hidden treasure of talents which may in turn capacitate us to discover greater opportunities and threats (risks) in our future lives.

Basically in the newer terminology, the astrology is a sophisticated tool in the hands of the human being to identify, understand and interpret the risks and equip themselves to manage or control those risks. The Astrology is a divine risk management technique bequeathed by sages and to understand our current potentials.

We must be very clear that the astrology only provides us the opportunities to explore our potentials, provides sharp edged insights and fair ideas about how we can successfully survive and grow in our lives right here. We should not expect that some black magician, psychic, or god man will take away our anxieties, sorrows, sufferings, pains and miseries. You know what, we all have to work ourselves on our goals, desires and expectation and nobody else including, religious priests, astrologers, black magicians, tarot card readers, psychic or palmists can fix problems for you. If it had been so, all the reasons for unhappiness, chaos, disease and human sufferings had been treated with astrological remedies such as worshipping, fast, yantra, mantra, tantras, charities and gemstones or black magic. Nobody can work for you to eliminate your sufferings until you engage yourself in resolving your problems. So astrology does not give us the feet or the clutches to walk on the path to your glory though it provides us little wisdom or insights to understand the ways and means to walk towards our ultimate purpose.

-Astrology gives us SWOT analysis of SELF.

-Provides resources to connect our dots between our inner selves with that of outer world and help us accomplish our passions, desires, wants & needs.  

-Astrology is a tool to understand our karmic foundation, current journey in this universe and how we relate here to this universe around us.

-Are we microcosms in the macrocosm of universe or do we have separate independent existences?

-If we are an atom in this universe and every other physical entity influences ours ‘the being’ and astrology helps us to understand that ‘CONNECTION’ among us?

- Are we here in mundane life to accumulate furniture, assets, homes, properties, lands or other tangibles such as material successes, achievements or pleasures (short-time) and live for these only? or have we rather bigger PURPOSE and goals to accomplish?

Is it our only purpose to get this stuff or are we here for the bigger intangible explorations to have joy, happiness and ultimate peace and to get final emancipation and salvation?

 WE ought to understand our purpose on this planet in this birth.

Astrology helps to understand you, yourself and your pursuits.

Black magic does not work. Only your own MAGIC (M: Your Inner Music, A: Action, G: Gratitude for what you already have, I: Insights, C: Compassion)  does. So follow your own MAGIC slumbering in you with conscious minds. Activate it and fructify our inner potential and magical powers within you.

Vashikaran Mantras (Matras for controlling others) recited by scoundrels for you is a cheating and deception. They don’t work. We cannot control others with force, power and mean ways. If it happens in any way which I don’t think it happens, it is against the interests of human welfare at all.

Please mind, only our love, affection, devotion and right actions towards others can attract and magnetize them, nothing else.

Astrology is a predictive science as other streams such as weather forecasting, economics, geography, sociology, psychology and behavioral sciences.

It is not an exact science such as mathematics but it indicates what will happen or might happen in the future. Prediction is the act of saying (forecasting) what will happen in the future or the act of predicting something. It is indicative and is not deterministic and can be fairly used to understand present time (NOW) and future which is based on our actions in this moment.

 “What we sow today will be harvested tomorrow”. This argument is supported by 10th house, 10th lord and association of planets with 10th house in your birth chart. The 10th house is considered the house of free will in astrology which throws light on our actions in NOW. The 9th house is house of dharma and good deeds and fortune. The interlink of 9th and 10th houses in a horoscope indicates that with the help of your own karmas or  free will you can eliminate obstacles on the way to achieving your purpose and fortune.

It clearly indicates that  your own hard work (signified by 10th house) can modify your own destiny (signified by 9th house).

We cannot change our own destiny is a big big  misnomer.

Necessity of Matching The Horoscopes for Relationship or Marriage Compatibility

Matching of horoscopes for marriage is not an easy though is a necessity for a peaceful, long-term and healthy relationship. An astrologer needs decades of practical experience as well solid understanding of principles of Indian astrological system based on sage Prashara’s spiritual consciousness and wisdom (Rishi Prashara taught principles of astrology to his disciples through “Brahat Prashara Hora Shastra”, a book, written in Sanskrit the ancient language of India,  thousand years ago). Those ancient principles of astrology are still relevant in the modern society if applied with astrological wisdom and astuteness. When people consult those individuals who claim themselves mavericks or next to God, when they even don’t know an iota of astrology and are not even qualified to practice astrology, the innocent vulnerable advice seekers become victims to their sheer greed and a cheating mentality. These kinds of so called astrologers do snapshot match- making which does not qualify the basic principles of marriage compatibility, and they endorse or reject the matching outright based on their insufficient astrological knowledge and expertise. Such actions lead to disastrous results which gave a bad name to astrology. Guna Milan (Kuta agreement) is a very outdated method of match-making which is popularly used by these monster astrologers and have created havoc in peoples’ lives. So my honest suggestion is that Guna milan method is very erroneous if used in isolation without caring about the holistic astrological approach and may give very damaging predictions. So general strengths of both the birth charts should be reviewed and following 4 aspects must be studied in detail before Kuta agreement analysis

These are: Longevity, Mental & psychological health, financial health, factors showing more than one marriage or relationship and malefic content such as Martian deadly influences. Kuta agreement comes only after these 4 factors have been found satisfactorily.

Some people match horoscopes based on their sun signs which is very popular in western astrology and we see our day to day future based on birth sun signs. This is the most impractical approach and has no astrological basis. As per astrological principles, the sun transits through all the 12 zodiac signs in 12 months. So we can say Sun stay in one particular zodiac signs for about a month. We all know that we have more than 7 billion global population and about 600 million people are born a particular sign. How can all 600 million people have the same lives and futures? So matching horoscopes based on sun signs is ridiculous.

These are a couple of thoughts on matching birth charts for marriage compatibility from me. I like to make a point here that please always look for a knowledgeable professional astrologer who provides the genuine advice though at a higher price than others (I have experienced all the time that potential service seekers ask first for the consultation charges and not for the professional qualifications, experience and skills of an astrologer.)

Please always avoid astrologers who are not transparent about their fee structures. Ask tough questions to assess their competence and beware of scoundrels and nonprofessionals.

Please provide your feedback.

Trudeau’s Cabinet 2015: Astrological Analysis of Cabinet Formation & Performance

                      

When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took oath along with his cabinet the Ascendant Sagittarius was arising in Moola constellation at 4 degree. Moon was also transiting in Magha Nakshatra. Both Moola and Magha Nakshatra are lorded by Ketu which was present in 4^th house from ascendant & 8^th house from Moon. Ketu is aspected by Jupiter & debilitated Venus. 

 Indeed, the time by the end of 2016 which is ruled by Ketu is  challenging and tumultuous for Trudeau cabinet in terms of implementing the Herculean promises such as refugee immigrants of Syria and may be some kind of  chaos may result. 

The Sagittarius ascendant indicates collective wisdom, leadership, generosity, transparency, inclusiveness, diversity, good intentions, big heart & social change. The liberal government will work in the direction of carrying forward their promises made during the election campaign. Its lord Jupiter with Moon makes GajKesari Rajyoga in 9th house indicates honest intentions for transparency government response to media and people of Canada. Overall strong and responsive government with no external political threats.  Political and Radical conspiracies may raise its heads. 

 Ketu in 4th house represents doubt, confusion, lukewarmness, introspection, which indicates that liberals may make bad judgments with regard to immigration, economy, employment generation, infrastructural projects, and internal security.

The Dasa periods of Venus and Sun are not favourable for government particularly between March 2016 and  August 2016 will be more challenging, controversial and full of brickbats.

Vimsottari Dasa for 4 years Cabinet Term:

 Maha Dasas: 

 Ven: 2015-12-31 to 2016-09-01

 Sun: 2016-09-01 to 2016-11-13

 Moon:2016-11-13 to 2017-03-11

 Mars: 2017-03-11 to 2017-06-05

 Rah: 2017-06-05 to 2018-01-11

 Jup: 2018-01-11 to 2018-07-26

 Sat: 2018-07-26 to 2019-03-11

 Mer: 2019-03-11 to 2019-10-08

The government will face challenges in furthering its political ambitions and huge controversies may take place with respect to immigration policy,  and Canada’s participation in international affairs. 

 Rahu (North Node) in 10^th house along Mars and debilitated Venus indicates overambitious goals such as   legalising marijuana and amending Bill C- 36 (prostitution) will not be well received by conservative sections of society and may be postponed til mid of  2017. Time between June 2017-July 2018 will favorable for foreign affairs and give a great name to the Trudeau government, 

Trudeau needs to execute his plans with confidence, but caution and patience. There are indications that government may face opposition attacks due to an inexperienced cabinet and inpractical approach.

Long Live Canada and All the best!!!

Thank You

Volatility in Stock Market still Pervasive as Predicted by Prof. Kousaal

Toronto Stock and Forex exchange market is very  weak as perdicted during this week due to retrograde Mercury and conjoining with Moon on Monday 11th 2016. Commodities particularly oil is trailing further weakening the dollar. The stock market lost 1.01% on Monday 11th Jan in a single day. It was a significant loss of 126 points though not that  much as lost (204 points) on 13th Jan. But overall this week will be in losses and the market may recover only some losses next week.
Let us watch. But stay away who have weak hearts. It may be very muddy.

Stock markets witnesses huge volatility with indirect motion of Mercury in Capricorn sign

Canada's Stock market TSX is booking losses due to huge volatility with effect from yesterday 5th Jan 2016 when Mercury went retrograde in Capricorn sign. In the annual chart 2016 for Canada which I uploaded with a previous post in last week of December 2015 Mercury (R) is adversely affecting  5th house and 11th houses (the twin houses of speculation and gains). The stock market will lose valuations and will dip to a new low as I predicted in my previous post. Moreover, there are aspects of Mars and Saturn on  retrograde Mercury in 5th house of the annual Chart (Capricorn sign) which indicates some unimaginable  financials and wealth creation situation for Canadian Corporate. Mercury will return to Sagittarius and will enter in on 14th Jan 2016. The 11th Jan 2016 may be the most difficult day for the market  because of conjugation of Moon &  Mercury (R) in Capricorn. So stay cautious. The stock market may recover some of the losses on 15th Jan. It is advisable for a lay investor  or the newbies to stock & shares world to stay away from the trading sessions at least up to 15th Jan, Then please review your strategy accordingly. Better not to jump in troubled waters due to volatility right now, particularly if you don't understand the stock market thing.

General Influences of Rahu and Ketu planets during 2016

The following transitory influences of Rahu and Ketu planets will be felt by the different nativities in  horoscopes subject to the relative positions, aspects and conjoint  of other planets. The holistic influences of the all the nine planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu) as considered in Hindu Astrology, must be read by a  knowledgeable astrologer to ascertain the accurate results in a particular horoscope. No doubt Vimosattri dasa system also plays very significant role in understanding the influences including the nature of motion of the planet.

Rahu: Rahu is entering in Leo sign on 29^th January 2016 and will impact the people with Leo ascendant, sun sign or moon sign throughout 2016. Rahu being a malefic planet may create physical health problem, mental stress and a moral/ethical crisis in these natives. Natives are advised to be careful about their diet plan and visit  the family doctor for a regular routine medical check-up or blood work. Sit in stillness in silence or meditate or attend a retreat  to manage work related stress. Continuously observing mind may help people to understand frustration, anger, pain, greed or unproductive stress. Rahu may also tempt natives to have doubts about their relationships/partners and may create chaos in their lives. So be cautious and don't let misunderstanding creep in among you. It is very important to have better  communication with the partners friends and relatives  to make the cloud of mistrust clear by starting a conversation  whenever seeming to taking toll.

Ketu: Ketu is entering in Aquarius zodiac sign on 29^th 2016 and will impact the natives with Aquarius ascendant, sun sign or moon sign throughout 2016. Ketu is a malefic planet which generates suspicion, doubt, conspiring thoughts with a hidden agenda. The positive side of Ketu is that it has the potential to provide opportunities to initiate a SELF-search and making connections with your being. It can be the best favorable time to disconnect from your materialistic outer world for a while which is sucking you up and be with you to free yourself of the clutter of negative thoughts, mental opinions, and cleanse your mind. Ketu may give you deep insight wisdom and prudence which will come from quietening your chattering mind and making way to listening to your inner voice.  You are too busy with the other things around you now and have no time to look within you. If this time is properly utilised for sitting alone in silence for 20 minutes a day or reading a book or listening to a melody, your psyche will be refreshed and rejuvenated.  

NOTE: Please note that astrology is a predictive science and has an inherent potential for  fallacy as in the case of other streams such as Economy, Stock market, Meteorology and Geography etc. It is science as well as an art. The other point also to be taken into consideration while consulting some is the knowledge, skills and experience of the astrologer.

Annual Astrological Predictions for Canada 2016

The following chart shows the planetary positions rising at Ottawa (Canada) on Jan 1, 2016 at 12.01 AM. We are analysing Canada 2016 from astrological viewpoint.

Overall the annual chart shows that the year 2016 will be a promising year and major strides will be taken towards integrity, transparency and economic gear-up.

The ascendant Virgo rising at 10⁰  in Hasta Nakshatra ruled by Venus provides some interesting insights. The Venus, being lord of 2^nd and 9^th houses is sitting in 3 house (a house of new projects, communication, initiatives, change and sports) with Saturn, the lord of 5^th    (strategy, creativity, higher education and innovation) and 6^th houses (employment, defence, competition, endeavors) indicates the announcing of major  national infrastructural projects, the initiatives  to correct the oil, gas and metals slowdown,  modifications in regulatory framework/ rules for better management of financial and mortgage institutions, bold reviews of Canada’s national security policies and mechanisms. Some media controversies and criticisms cannot be ruled out.

 The lord of ascendant, Mercury, positioned in 5^th house (in earth sign) with aspects of Mars and Saturn indicates that strategic initiatives taken by the country may suffer serious disruption and some unusual controversies may surround the ‘innovation’ initiative.  

Moon & Rahu indicates the successful initiatives for integration of Syrian immigrants but not without some kind of backlash. It will not  be accomplished without stressful situations on the way.

The chart also indicates that there may take place some serious downturn in stock market (TSX) between Jan to April 2016. Some kind of violence/protests can not be ruled out. The Syrian immigration quota of 25,000 may not be accomplished and probably deadline will be further extended up to end of April 2016. It clearly indicates that Canada won’t step back from its initiative on Syrian immigration. The exchange yoga between lords of 4^th and 10^th houses between Jupiter and Sun shows that Canada will  be appreciated for its generosity towards Syrian immigrants and give a international image for humanitarian efforts. It also shows that serious efforts will be made to rehabilitate and heal the lacerating wounds of AFN communities.

 We may see Bank of Canada interest rate going in negative territory between Jan-Feb 2016 or October-December 2016. Mortgage rates may be further tightened in mid 2016. Housing market may not slow down in 2016 as predicted by some economists.
