August 2018: Mars Receding, Venus Distant

The heat waves and the wild fires that seem to have gripped many areas in the last few weeks may begin to recede, as Mars begins to move out of the Rahu-Ketu field August 7the. Time to step back and assess the impact of Mars transit through the Rahu-Ketu field, acting out in different areas of your lives in June and July. Take some time by yourself to scan your physical and emotional health and that of your loved ones. We have a breather here – to calm down and heal. Those of you who have continually been connected with MA DurgA would have sensed the protection and blessings and a sense of calm, even as the fires raged, emotional and physical, in various shapes and forms, all around us.

In August 2018, Venus will be most distant from Earth. It will be seen in the sky to be transiting the zodiac of Virgo. A milder form of confusion (unlike the raging storms of Mars) is likely between August 8th and 17th, with peaks around August 10th to 13th. We may see this manifested in the social and political arenas and in turn inducing volatility in financial markets. Fashion and luxury goods sectors may be particularly impacted. The inclination, for many of us, may be towards being more analytical and less emotional – and thus out of balance in situations which require emotions to play.

Usual caveat applies: the experience may be in different areas of life for each ascendant sign and intensity depends on particular ascendant degrees. Those who continually connect with the Devi are blessed with strength and calm to better navigate through the squalls and storms of life.

July 2018: Venus may provide respite, from turbulent Mars, for some.

Venus will be energized as it transits through the cluster of nakshatrAs (constellations) that make up SimhA lagnA (Leo ascendant) from the evening of July 4th to the early morning hours of August 1st. This will provide a welcome cushion for those with lagnA (ascendant) birth signs of Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Libra and Scorpio. The rest of us (those with Leo, Virgo, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces) may have to manage by keeping a low profile and very patient.

Mars, as of this writing on July 4th, is beginning to close in and will fully immerse into the turbulent field of Rahu-Ketu between July 12th and 29th. Expect more of the events such as freak storms, volcanic eruptions, as well as strong emotional expressions of frustration and anger, within us and amongst us, that we saw during the previous Mars immersion in the first two weeks of June. This transit of Mars will be experienced by most of us with varying degrees of intensity, depending on how much we practice focused awareness, enabling us to channel and sublimate out (not suppressing for future eruptions!) the turbulent energies, which trigger memories of past angers and frustrations, leading us to actions which we later regret.

Practicing focused awareness makes us observe the churn of emotional energies arising with the waxing and waning of planetary energies. When we are accomplished in this practice, we can watch them trigger our own particular memories, which become thoughts that we take to be all too real. We then act upon this reality of our mind. It takes a long time, many births perhaps, for this practice of focused awareness to be rooted, become one of our limbs in the subtle space. There are many techniques one can use, and many paths one can take, to climb this mountain. It helps to have a seasoned coach, at least to get ready and started on this climb, at the base camp of this mountain!

Mars in Turbulent Fields: Astro-Weather Watch / Warning May 2nd to November 5th 2018

Mars Passing Through Turbulence Derek Thompson Unsplash 180518

Mars in Turbulent Fields (Photo by Derek Thomson on Unsplash)

Many of you have already noticed natural events, whether freaky storms, earth tremors or volcanic activity, since May 2nd. There is more to come, as Mars moves through turbulent fields between now and early November 2018, both in natural and human generated events with potentially negative impacts.

Here are the date ranges to watch out for such occurrences and within that some potential peak dates, when you may experience unexpected / sudden events.

Date ranges to be cautious and observe:

May 31st to June 15th (with May 31st to June 8th being peak dates for potential sudden / unexpected events to commence).

July 10th to July 28th (chances of sudden / unexpected events: July 10th to July 19th)

September 21st to September 30th (peak dates: September 21st to September 26th).

Besides the natural and mass human generated events, which we will all observe, each of us may experience events in specific areas of our personal and family lives depending on ascendant birth sign (using sidereal zodiac). Here are some pointers (if you want empower yourself to surf these waves, there are ways of doing it):

Aries: There may be some events relating to career and social status that impact your health, physically and emotionally.

Taurus: There is potential for some sudden events for your parents, advanced studies and good fortune in general.

Gemini: Some potential for loss of income and connections with elder siblings and mentors is seen.

Cancer: Potential for loss in career and social status may impact your spouse / partner.

Leo: You may find yourself in debt or disputes with your parents (or those in authority), obstacles in advanced studies and during some long distance travels.

Virgo: Expect some obstacles and endings in your emotional relationships and creative pursuits.

Libra: There may be some endings in personal and business partnerships.

Scorpio: Some disputes and debt situations may be seen with younger siblings, colleagues and any small business interests you may have.

Sagittarius: Some losses in your emotional relationships and creative pursuits may impact general sense of well-being for yourself and your family.

Capricorn: You may experience some personal impact due to sudden change in your financial asset, home or mother related situations.

Aquarius: You may experience some setbacks relating to small business situations, younger siblings and communication clarity.

Pisces: There may be changes in family situation that impact income and relationship with elder siblings and mentors.

Energy Boost from the Sun in Aries: April 14th to May 15th 2018

By Jayant Kalawar

When the Sun transits through Aries between mid-April and mid-May, most of us sense a boost of energy in different areas of life, depending on your ascendant birth sign (using sidereal, not tropical zodiac). If you are in touch with your energy flows through your inner work, this is something you will sense. You will be able to channel this burst of energy appropriately to heal yourself and others around you.

This year though, Mercury is still hanging around in Pisces (where it has been going back and forth since early March) and will be there until May 9th. Mercury in Pisces makes for generally less than effective communications for most of us. This is exacerbated for Aries (may cause some losses, increased expenses), Libra (mis-communications may lead to disputes) and Leo (may cause challenges in career and social status). Those situations may likely be resolved after May 9th.

Also, there will be one other major movement in the next few weeks. Mars will be moving into Capricorn on May 3rd and will be hanging its hat there until November 6th. In Capricorn Mars is energized and is generally positive for most signs, provided we channel its energies appropriately (so Leo ascendants may sense great energy flows which make them competitive at work and help win in disputes. Make sure to manage it with the long run in mind, not just the short run wins i.e. do not burn bridges for immediate applause, bring people along with you). This year Mars will be heading into rather rough astro weather in the June-July time frame, with the Moon’s orbit disturbing the Sun-Earth gravitational field (yes the July solar and lunar eclipses are just one measure of this disturbance). Mars energies will be weakened considerably. Many of us are likely to feel the stress of this sudden drop in energy levels in different ways. Those with Gemini, Leo and Aquarius ascendants need to be especially aware: prioritize and focus to conserve energies, to get through positively in the June-July period. I may write more about this next month.

To end on a positive note, currently, between April 13th to 20th, there is a Venus-Jupiter alignment going on, which is giving positive energies to many of us. May be a nice time to enjoy art and culture (Venus) and a general sense of well-being, blessed by expansive energies of Jupiter.

Cosmic Musical Symphony: Venus and Mercury move on to Pisces March 2nd 2018

Venus and Mercury will move to Pisces on March 2nd. Venus will be seen in Pisces until March 25th. Mercury will be seen in Pisces for much longer: until May 8th.

The effect of this movement is likely to be relatively positive in March for Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Sagittarius and Capricorn.

Those with the following ascendants may wish to be a little more attentive in certain areas in March:

Aries: Some potential for disputes and / or health issue with your personal and business partners.

Taurus: Some impact may be seen on your creativity, children and romantic endeavors.

Leo: Potential impact on career, interactions with younger colleagues, siblings, new initiatives and personal partners.

Libra: Potential for stress and health issues. May be appropriate time for quiet long meditative retreat.

Scorpio: Some impact on interactions with mentors and elder siblings and some losses on investment income.

Aquarius: There is some potential for changes / endings if you have plans for long distance travel or advanced studies, or attending spiritual programs – new options will open up. Be attentive to possibility of impact on relationships with personal partners.

Pisces: Potential for some endings with some personal and business partners. Open new ways of doing things.

21B Case Study: Taurus Rising

Your ascendant is Taurus. You have the potential to undertake courageous initiatives in collaboration with select individuals with nurturing capabilities.

case-study-chart-for-taurus-rising-170208

Moon, Sun, Mercury and Saturn channel benefic energies through you. Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Rahu and Ketu channel energies which may impact you negatively at certain times. There are traditional practices to strengthen your benefic energies and sublimate energies that may impact you negatively. These are discussed and arrived at in individual coaching sessions.

Summary

Your strongest energy is the Moon energy. Moon energy is nourishing and nurturing. Strong Moon energy signifies an individual with affectionate nurturing qualities which flow into all their behaviors. Strength of the Moon energy gives indication of supportive mother (or maternal figures), social behavior, emotional peace, financial solvency, happy married life, inheritance from the mother’s side, as well as love and care in general.  In your case, the Moon also additionally gives you energy to pursue a career by taking up and bringing to fruition initiatives that channel nourishing and nurturing energies. The Moon energy channels very strongly through you. Consider it your best guide and supporter for your career.

Your Saturn energy is also very strong. Saturn drives the direction of your career. This Saturn energy is also likely to guide to finding your long term partner, who may very well be from your career area. This long term partner is likely to hail from a location distant from your birth place. Saturn will expect and motivate you to practice your career with perfection, spirituality, detachment, reliability with discipline, honesty, sincerity, stability, longevity. It gives consistency and enables detailed work over long periods of time.

Thus, the combination of the Moon energy and Saturn energy will be your most reliable guides in your life and career.

Mercury and Jupiter channel relatively weak energies through you. They are required for your career success. Mercury energy provides you with creative and analytical intelligence in your daily career activities. Jupiter energy gives insight into the mysterious and the occult, which you need for the career area you are most likely to choose (something concerning nourishing and nurturing).  You should, therefore, incorporate daily practices and have coaching sessions to strengthen Mercury energy and propitiate Jupiter energy.

Your Sun energy, signifying your father, is well meaning but weakly channeled through you. It is unable to be of support to you. This results in weakness in your ability to acquire and hold home and assets, as well as support from influential people and gains from investments. There are ways of strengthening the Sun energy through practices and coaching, which you should explore.

Your Mars energy is weak and negatively impacts your relationship with your Sun energy. This may cause you to have disturbed sleep and allergies causing inflammation in your body. You should explore ways to propitiate Mars energy.

Your Venus energy acts very negatively for you. It not only weakens your Sun and Mercury energy and is reflected in your sense that you need to substantially increase your ability to channel creative and affectionate energies as well as nourishing and nurturing energies towards children.

21B Case Study: Libra Rising

The ascendant point, in your Jyotish chart, is in the Libra zodiac sign (sidereal chart). This indicates that you are motivated and energized to set and achieve goals for yourself. Your goals are likely to be a mix of acquiring advanced knowledge and peace of mind. Acquiring a home and portfolio of financial assets may also be important to you. When you project your image in an ethical and balanced manner, you will likely come across as an attractive, intelligent, even charismatic, person to people at large. Those in one-on-one personal or business relationship with you, however, may sometimes see you as being passive, not assertive enough with your creative, affectionate and nurturing sensibilities.

case-study-chart-for-libra-rising-170208

Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Moon and the Sun channel positive energies through you. Mercury, Rahu and Ketu channel energies which have negative impact on you from time to time. There are therapeutic ways to strengthen your benefic energies and sublimate energies that may impact you negatively. These are discussed and arrived at in individual coaching sessions.

Summary of Your Karmic Strengths and Areas of Improvement

Overall, you have two very strong positive energies, of Venus and Moon, channeling through you. You have four positive, but weak, energies, of Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Sun supporting you. You have one negative energy, that of Mercury, which from time to time misleads you through over analysis and wrongly presenting an apparently rational view of the world.

Karmic Strengths

Your Venus energy is positive and strong. It helps you set your goals and project your image. It is most supportive when you are active in:

  • acquiring knowledge
  • achieving peace of mind
  • acquisition and maintaining of home
  • acquiring financial assets portfolio and
  • focusing on your career and social status.

As you begin to accept these as your core goals in life, you will gain clarity on what broad direction you to take in your life.

Your Moon energy is strongly positive and flows to you through your mother. However, the Moon energy is in the shadow of Rahu, the north node of the ecliptic axis, in your birth chart. This causes you to make demands on your mother and from time to time be in conflict with her. Please be aware that the Moon energy, through your mother, gives you guidance in spiritual and material matters, including:

  • Social connections
  • Ethical matters
  • Relationship with authority figures
  • Pursuing advanced studies and
  • Long distance travel to expand and contribute to social connections.

These actions, driven by the Moon energy, open up the potential of you flourishing in your career and reflects positively in your social status.

Connecting directly, through appropriate breath-work, chanting and meditation, with the spiritual aspect of the Devi may ensure this strong Moon energy to continue to support you all your life, and at the same time free your mother’s energies for other ends. It will also help in dissipating the sometimes demanding / conflicting interactions you may have with your mother.

21B Case Study: Gemini Rising

Your ascendant is Gemini (sidereal chart). You have the potential to undertake courageous initiatives in collaboration with younger friends and colleagues.  What it will take to realize this potential is assessed here.

case-study-chart-for-gemini-rising-170208

Your Ishta Devata is Shri Mahalaxmi. Guidance on practices to ensure receiving continual blessings and protection of your Ishta Devata can be provided at one on one skype sessions, tailored for your specific chart configuration.

Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars channel positive energies through you. Rahu and Ketu channel negative energies through you from time to time. There are therapeutic ways to strengthen your benefic energies and sublimate energies that may impact you negatively. These are discussed and arrived at in individual coaching sessions.

Summary of Your Karmic Strengths and Areas of Improvement

Overall you have two strong set of energies working for you: Moon and Mars. Sun and Saturn energies are moderately strong. Also, you have no negative energies working through you.

Your Karmic Strengths

Your Moon energy is already strong and channeled to you especially through your mother in particular, and through your family in general. To sustain the strong Moon energy and make it even stronger, do inner work to invoke the (Feminine Divine) Devi’s energy to channel directly through you. It supports and enables you to flourish in your career and, hence, give you a relatively respected social status.

Your Mars energy channels strongly through you. This helps you enter into and sustain successful partnerships. However, to achieve this, you need to strengthen the prerequisite: ability to enter and maintain one-on-one significant relationships. This points to the need to strengthen your Jupiter energy, as described below.

Sun energy is moderately strong. This energy manifests as support from your father and other paternal figures in your life. Inner work will help to energize the Sun energy in you, to amplify your will power and mental stamina, required to achieve the rewards you are seeking.

Saturn energy is moderately strong for you. It is one of the drivers in your personal and business partnerships, which could lead to ease of life, if managed well. However, to succeed in entering into and sustaining business partnerships, you need to strengthen your Jupiter energy that supports your ability to enter into one-on-one relationships, which is a pre-requisite for sustained partnerships.

Your Karmic Areas of Improvement

You have some weak energies channeling through you that need work, if you are to achieve and realize your full potential levels in your life time:

  1. Energize your communication and analytical capabilities channeled by Mercury energy, which is relatively weak: Coaching in public speaking and debating may help in communications. Also (and only as an example), slow but steady practice with increasingly complex Excel spread sheet analysis may help in building analytical capability. In any case, keep in mind your analytical strength relative to what may be demanded by your job, before making commitments.
  2. Your Venus energy is channeled as a transformative energy. It may enable you to explore mysterious spiritual experiences. Transformation also means giving up old ways of doing things, as you explore new ways. Your Venus energy, being quite weak, may trigger these transformations but not enable you to complete or sustain them, leading to a sense of a roller coaster ride in your life. This is major energy area of improvement for you. Focused inner work for Venus energy, the energy of the Devi manifested in the material world, will help.
  3. The weakness of Jupiter energy impacts your ability to initiate and sustain collaborative projects. It also results in confusions in the process of initiating and sustaining significant one on one personal as well as business relationships. This is a relatively weak area for you, requiring substantial strengthening, through inner work and relationship coaching.

The Celestial Energy Areas that will Drive Your Life in the Next Five Years

Most people ask: when will the karmic energy areas shift and how they will impact me? Here is a short answer for the next 5 plus years (the last two digits of some of the years have been changed to letters to further ensure confidentiality):

 

Your Karmic Celestial Energy Areas Time Periods Most Active in the Next 5 Years of Your Life Are they Strong or Do You Need Working on to Make them Stronger?
Venus December 20AB to April 20CD On a scale of -5 to +5, Venus energy is +1.5. It is weak.
Sun April 20EF – April 20GH On a scale of -5 to +5, Sun energy is +4.0. It is moderately strong.
Moon April 2020 – December 20IJ On a scale of -5 to +5, Moon energy is +5.0. It is strong.
Mars December 2021-February 20KL On a scale of -5 to +5, Mars energy in +5.0. It is strong.

 

You will have noticed that I have indicated that the Venus energy, that is manifesting in your life currently (and up to April 20CD), is weak. It is giving you challenges, at present, in your material and spiritual quests.

Successful American Entrepreneur: 21B Jyotish Initial Diagnostic and Success Path Assessment

Featured Image (c) Anuva Kalawar

This is an illustrative 21B Jyotish analysis  based on the sidereal chart of a successful business personality, who is very much in the news in 2016 (named Joshi Rabinez (not his real name) in this description). Some of you may guess who it is based on birth details, the initial diagnostic and success path assessment, presented below.

american-entrepreneur-chart-170208

Initial Diagnostic

Joshi Rabinez was born June 1971. An Aries ascendant, Joshi has a rather strong chart. Strong Mars (his ascendant ruler) makes him a driven personality. Mars being positioned very strongly in his 10th house of career shows he will make his career his top priority. Rahu (the North ecliptic node) is also placed, again in strength, in his career house, thus ensuring multiple career interests in parallel, in each of which Joshi would relentlessly work for success. The Moon in his birth chart is the ruler of his 4th house of mother and home. It is positioned to provide him ways to grow creatively and also be supportive of his romantic aspirations and to have children. The Sun in Joshi’s chart makes him courageous, visionary and risk taking. Saturn in his chart ensures Joshi has income and capital gains to build family wealth. All of these strengths together indicate that Joshi is very bright in many areas and has high social visibility.

Now to his weak areas: His communication style is combative and can come across as overly assertive and even abrasive (indicated by Mercury which signifies communication, rules his 6th house of competition and struggle and positioned to play a major role in his role as entrepreneur by virtue of its position in the 3rd house). He will have ups and downs in his married life and potentially have multiple marriages: the ruler of his house of marriage, Venus, is afflicted by Rahu from the 10th house: Joshi’s multiple career aspirations trump his capacity to sustain his marriage. Also, Joshi’s relationship with authority figures shows ongoing challenges, which may lead to potential failures are some key points in his career.

Summary of strengths and weaknesses: Joshi has the intelligence and the drive to achieve career and financial success in multiple areas. He is likely to come across as combative abrasive, thus not able to gather and sustain a core leadership team around him. His married life is likely to be overshadowed by his driven focus on career aspirations. He is likely to have difficulty in his relationships with authority figures as well as business and financial partners, potentially negatively impacting his business plans at some point.

This section of the report (deleted to preserve confidentiality) will typically drill down into specific details in actual cases: based on skype / phone interview which follows the horoscope analysis, as part of the service package.

 Success Path Assessment

Joshi Rabinez is well positioned for career and financial success. He will benefit through ongoing coaching in the areas of communication, marriage and in managing relationships with authority figures and business / financial partners.

This section of the report will typically drill down into specific details in actual cases: based on skype / phone interview which follows the horoscope analysis, as part of the service package.

Additional observations

For the near future, over the next two years (from April 2016): Joshi is currently going through a phase where he is ruled by Rahu, which makes him overextend (and overpromise results) himself into multiple career areas, albeit in creative ways – from now to the fall of 2017. He is likely to be in a relatively tough position to deliver his promised results, especially in late 2017. While he will be very driven and be able to deliver, especially in early 2018, he is likely to come up short vis a vis his relationships with his financial / business partners and advisors. Intensive coaching, in the three areas indicated above (communication, marriage and relationship with authority figures / partners), over the next year and half will help Joshi to increase probability of success.

______________________________________

A few of you may be entirely new to Indian Astrology. The following may help:

Indian Astrology is known as Jyotisha (Joh-thish-uh): that which shows us Light. It is a tradition rooted in the 10,000 year old living tradition based on the Vedas. This living tradition of Jyotisha continues to develop and deepen with new heuristics continually added through rigorous trial and testing among expert practitioners[1]. Jyotisha divides an individual’s life into specific segments over a 120-year lifetime (our life-span has actually decreased since ancient times!). Many of you may already know that Jyotisha has many powerful features, which require detailed computations of planetary positions, aspects, conjunctions and eclipse nodes and so on. It divides an individual’s life into 9 specific segments of different period lengths over a potential 120 year life span. It then predicts what karmic experiences will be acted out during each of those 9 life segments (called major periods) and 9 sub-periods within each of the longer 9 main periods.

The Jyotisha birth chart represents the karmic tendencies each of us are born with, based on past lifetimes of experiences.

We anticipate and predict what karmic experiences will occur during these major life periods, as well as the sub-periods within those periods.

Each major life period detailed in our horoscope shines light on different parts of our true nature that we are born with.

So the major periods and sub-periods are presented to us in the detailed readings, that follow the initial reading. But our daily mental, physical, and spiritual actions within those periods is what we have the capacity not only to manage—but expand–for our own personal freedom.

The Jyotisha tradition does not stop at a reading. It is a practice that helps you acquire tools for empowerment.

This is where our individual agency, creative potential, and empowerment comes into play. I’m passionate about helping you energize and re-discover creative potential and empowerment despite any obstacles in lived experiences – or even what a birth chart may indicate.

Our agency is deepened through concentration and meditative work. The stronger the sense of agency, the better the chances of easily expiating past karmas and not picking up new ones.

Cleansing our karmas is manifested through embodied connection with the Light Energies, called Divya Shaktis (Div-yuh Shuk-thees).

Indian traditions have devised, through extensive testing, specific combinations of breath work, mantra chanting, setting up altars and meditative visualizations to evoke these Divya Shaktis within us (and that is where Chakra work comes becomes relevant). These methods are prescribed based on your chart and experience.

I can give pointers to which specific Divya Shaktis can be called in a specific phase of your life, to fortify your journey, if you are interested.

Since you have read up to this point, I have a few questions for you:

What interests you in having an jyotisha reading?

Do you have any specific questions? I encourage you to ask 3-5 questions to keep in your heart and mind. This will also help me in your reading and our conversation.

One of the challenges in completing a birth chart is that it speaks to what karmic tendencies you were born with. It does not speak to what has already happened in our life, since your birth, which would have changed your karmic energy configuration.

That takes multiple interactive sessions, covering the major periods you have already experienced[2]. This is something I also offer through my practice, 21BanyanTree.com, both over Skype and in-person. We can then develop a Life Map for your material and spiritual quest.

It would be a pleasure to do an initial reading, which can assess your strengths and weaknesses, based on your birth chart. Please let me know what specific questions you have in mind, which you want to get a peek into through this birth chart reading using Jyotisha, the Indian approach to Astrology (write to me at 21Banyantree@gmail.com ).
