Editor’s Note

Niranjan Babu & Suprajarama Raman

Dear Readers, I wish you all a very happy Akshaya Tritiya, Rama Navami and Hanuman Jayanti. April has more in store. It is the month when few states like Kerala, Orissa, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Bengal celebrate New Year. Like always, we begin this edition with a glimpse of Akshaya Tritiya and its significance. Akshaya Tritiya is observed on the third lunar day in the bright half of the month of Vaishaka. In 2020, Tritiya begins at 11.53 am on April 25, 2020 and extends till 13.23 on April 26. Akshaya Tritiya is that day of the year where all the 6 groups of energies in the world 2

coincide and their amplitude is almost NIL. It is one of the most favourable day to carry out as many auspicious events as possible. In the cover story of this edition, Barry Rosen dwells on the secret powers of the 11th house. Parashara in his magnum opus, Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra say –

veeveeJemlegYeJem³eeefhe heg$epee³eeefokeÀm³e ®e ~ Dee³eb Je=eE× heMetveeb ®e YeJemLeeveeefVejer#eCeced Possession of various materials articles, success through children, fixed assets like property and vehicles etc. are to be seen from the 11th house. Barry Rosen takes this to the next level. He tells us that the 11th house is the most treasured

of the houses. It is said that all planets do well herein and fulfil our desires. It is connected to gains from work as it is 2nd from the 10th house. Besides the uplifting and positive impact with respect to expressing your talents to the world, it is a much more complicated house than most astrologers will admit, as it is 6th from the 6th house. This can cause health problems and it is also connected to our associations and our karma with them, which is not always pleasant. In Part 1 of the article, Barry Rosen discusses the much over-looked connection of the 11th house to society and community and Part 2 deals with what the 11th house reveals about one’s income and the ability to fulfil desires.

The April 2020 issue would be incomplete if we do not cover about Coronavirus. The havoc that Coronavirus has created on the world across all areas – Financial, Political, Educational, Religious and Personal - cannot be ignored. It’s there. It’s for real. And it’s going to last for a while. We have done a detailed coverage of the crisis from an Astrological perspective. The planetary position of Sun, Jupiter, Ketu and Mercury in a conjunction in Dhanus (Sagittarius) makes it worse and there is a reason why we are on the frontline of such a deadly virus. Kathir Subbiah popularly known for his predictions shares his perspective on what lies ahead in times of Coronavirus. In view of the series of events around Coronavirus that took place, beginning December 2019 till date, I have written an in-depth analysis from an Astrological perspective. The conjunction and war of Jupiter and Ketu has become more dreadful, only the context and style is different. Non-living instruments like bombs and guns are replaced by living organisms. The deadly Coronavirus has attacked and is destroying lives and wealth, quietly affecting the human immune system. Can this outbreak be controlled? Is there a cure to fight against it? The good news is, yes. A cure is more likely to be discovered when Jupiter comes back to Sagittarius

around June-July 2020. On the relationship front, we have Ramadas H Rao, sharing his knowledge on predicting love marriages through Naadi Astrology. Nowadays, parents are left with less or no choice in making marriage decisions for their children when it comes to love marriage. It will be in the best interest of everyone if parents understand the children’s views and guide them in the right direction in choosing the life partner. Sometimes, due to a lack of foresight and understanding of repercussions, such decisions may not result in long-lasting marriages. Thus, it is critical to do a thorough study of horoscopes to avoid any disappointments and make the right decisions for a happy marriage. Naadi Astrology is an ancient and deep study that can offer accurate predictions in determining the possibilities of love marriage in individuals. The article is an in-depth analysis of two charts where H. Ramadas Rao has used Naadi astrology and accurately predicted an intercaste marriage in one case and a second marriage in the other case. Eclipses are considered a bad omen. History shares a lot of stories about the impact of eclipses on an individual’s health, sometimes leading to death. Nemani Venkata Raghunatha Rao takes 6 examples of Catholic Religious Leaders (Pope)

and analyzes how the Eclipses – solar and lunar, have affected their health and led to death. He also enumerates the principles that one can apply in the future. We all know that today’s youth play a critical role in deciding the country’s future. It is of utmost importance to provide correct guidance to the youth, so they get a better understanding of their lives and lead a meaningful and successful life. This cannot happen overnight and without intensive involvement of elders and the learned astrologers. Dr. N. Chandrashekar, in his article on youth counseling, provides a critical perspective on how the elders and astrologers should take this seriously and work towards equipping themselves better in guiding and counseling the youth for a better future. We are happy to share the program details of 70th Varadanti of Jagadguru Sri Bharathi Thirtha Maha Sannidanam of Sringeri. In such turbulent times, we wish all readers to stay safe and healthy. Happy reading to you all. Please do share your comments or feedback at info@ astrologicalmagazine.com.

FESTIVAL

Akshaya Tritiya : Welcoming Prosperity | Raman Suprajarama

What is Akshaya Tritiya? Akshaya means unperishable, un-decaying and eternal. Tritiya means third lunar day.

When is Akshaya Tritiya celebrated? Akshaya Tritiya is observed on the third lunar day in bright half of the month of Vaishaka. In 2020, Tritiya begins at 11.53 am on April 25, 2020 and extends till 13.23 on April 26.

What is the Science behind Akshaya Tritiya? Shukla Tritiya or the third lunar day during waxing moon is that period of time when the difference between the Sun and the Moon is anywhere between 24 degrees and 36 degrees. In their orbits, when the Moon is ahead of the Sun by 24 degrees and less than 36 degrees, certain energies in the world get activated naturally. These energies are kinetic by nature.

The astrological emagazine

We all know that the world is always in motion - motion of the living organisms, non-living organisms, earth, solar system, galaxy and the universe. Each motion results in an energy wave and there will be billions and billions of such energy waves getting produced. Largely, we classify these energies into 6 groups based on the energy frequency. The energy groups because of their varying frequencies intersect with each other. However, on every tritiya, these energies align with each other in such a manner that their amplitudes will coincide with one another. This powerful phenomenon occurs every month, and naturally we have 12 such incidents in a year. However, there are two tritiyas in a year where the amplitudes of the energies that coincide with each other is either at minimum or at maximum. During the tritiya that occurs in the month of Vaishaka, the amplitude is at minimum. And during the tritya that occurs in the month of Karthika, the energies are at the maximum.

Essentially, Akshaya Tritiya is that day of the year where the all the 6 groups of energies in the world coincide and their amplitude is almost NIL. This is a cosmic reset of kinetic energies and commonly referred to as Punarpravarthanam (Samskritam – पुनर्प्रवर्तनं). During this reset, there is a natural opening for living organisms to hop on to a very positive wave. If one hops on to this wave, the wave itself will naturally push him/her in the desired path, and our efforts will be minimum. This is one of nature’s best gifts and our Vedic saints’ greatest discovery. If any activity is done during this time interval, there is a natural push that takes place to reach our goal with minimum or no effort.

What should be done on Akshaya Tritiya? On the day Akshaya Tritiya, I encourage you to carry out as many auspicious events as possible. These events can be

Lagna

At the beginning of the Akshaya Tritiya, the Sun and the Moon will be in Ashwini and Krittika Nakshatra respectively. Ashwini is ruled by Ketu, a spiritual and inward looking graha. Ashwini also indicates speed and dynamism. Krittika is ruled by the Sun showing authority, leadership and dominance. This Akshaya Tritiya will activate a lot of good luck for those who are taking bold initiatives backed by new and innovative ideation. Cancer, a movable and watery sign, ruled by the Moon is rising and symbolizes the holy rivers. The Moon as the ascendant lord is in the eleventh house, along with Venus or Shukra. Shukra indicates high volume comforts and pleasures. As the 4th and the 11th lord, he becomes a benefic and his association with Ascendant lord Moon indicates

that this Akshaya Tritiya would be a good opportunity to invest in material things which are movable in nature – these include vehicles, stock markets and short term travels. The Lagna is aspected by three planets – Jupiter or Guru, Mars or Mangala and Saturn or Shani.  Jupiter indicates Guru or Advisory community, and he is debilitated and makes him inauspicious or unfavourable. Shani indicates the common man, and he is well placed in his own house. Mangala indicates commander-in-chief or brothers and strength and is exalted and shining with exuberance. Mars is auspicious. The collective influence of these three planets indicate that investment related decisions taken based on the inputs of advisories, marketing messages and selfproclaimed leaders will prove to disastrous. On the other hand, if a decision is taken based on own’s own thinking and research, they prove to be right. So, invest wisely. Make an investment decision based on your own analysis and inference, and not because some has asked you to do. I wish you all a very happy Akshaya Trititya to you and your loved ones. •

COVER STORY

Secrets of The 11th House |Barry Rosen

The 11th house is the most treasured of the houses. It is said that all planets do well herein and fulfill our desires. It is connected to gains from work as it is 2nd from the 10th house. Alas, it is a much more complicated house than most astrologers will admit as it is 6th from the 6th house and can cause health problems and it is connected to groups, associations and our karma with them, which is not always pleasant. In Part 1 of this article, we will discuss the much over-looked connection of the 11th house to groups, society and community and in Part 2, we will discuss what the 11th house reveals about one’s income and the ability to fulfill desires.

PART1: EXPRESSING OUR TALENTS IN THE WORLD #1: The 11th house is the house of friends and associations

Barry Rosen has been practicing Vedic astrology since 1987. He has visited and studied in India on 4 occasions and has spoken numerous times at the American Council of Vedic Astrology Conferences in Sedona, AZ since 1999 and also the British Association of Vedic Astrologers in London since 2006. He has been involved in Vedic culture since 1973 and is a long-time meditation and yoga teacher and a published poet. Professionally, he has applied Vedic astrology to predicting financial markets since 1987 and has published numerous articles in leading journals including the NCGR journal and Trader’s World and the Trader’s Astrological Almanac and specializes in blocks to finance in ones chart. Recently, he has been pioneering research in other areas of Vedic astrology including Vedic astro-locality, the effects your current physical location have on your chart, connecting astrology to hatha yoga for therapeutic purposes and developing transformational healing work to move through karma. He is a neo-Vedic astrologer and uses the outer planets. He is particularly interested in Jaimni astrology and the soul’s journey through the physical world and its karma and purpose and has taken live seminars in London with Sanjay Rath.

The 11th house is the house of friends and associations and it is opposite the 5th house indicating who we like to play and do recreation with. It is the playground where we venture out into society and sometimes a place where we want to change the world. It is connected with the natural 11th sign of the zodiac Aquarius, where social action seeks to move out of the ambitious 10th house and move into the world to effect change for the betterment of society. For those who work with groups, it is not an easy place as our behavior becomes critical and vulnerable to the opinions of others and of how one is seen. Creativity of the 5th house is tested here as we express who we are and have society judge it. As we move toward humanity, we hope our creativity and our dreams will come true to create benevolent changes. That means APril 2020

the 11th house is connected to community and how we bond together with others to create something bigger and support the collective.

#2: The 11th house is about our highest ambitions for the world, including wanting to make a difference in society It reflects our ability to take the talents, status and ambitions of the 10th house and move it out into our community and effect change. If we have some success in our life, we naturally want to help those around us. The great philanthropists like Andrew Carnegie and Alfred Nobel did this. At some point, we have to realize that if we have a lot of money and we do not share it with others, then we are missing the point.

The 11th house forces us into the world to express our gifts for the benefit of mankind. My spiritual teacher was fond of saying that if we are given money in our life, it is meant to be shared with your community and the world, not for hoarding. 11th house is connected to community and how we bond together with others to create something bigger and support the collective.

#3: The 11th house is the placement of dreams and fulfillment of desires If it is connected to Jupiter or 10

APril 2020

Pisces, a strong Sun or with Leo, it can be filled with great hope, optimism, faith, ambition, and triumph. Transits through the 11th house bring fulfillment of desires and joy - this is why it is so cherished.

#4: The 11th house is not a picnic place The 11 house is not a picnic place, as many astrologers might describe it as it is connected to the natural complex 11th zodiacal sign of Aquarius which in Vedic astrology is co-owned by Rahu and Saturn and in Western astrology has a connection to Uranus. Rahu by nature creates deep desires which are often illusive like chasing a carrot on a stick and Saturn brings deep karmic surprises Aquarius anywhere in the chart is often connected to deep karmic suffering. th

#5: The 11th house can bring challenges and health issues There is a hidden quality to the 11th house because it is 6th from the 6th in that it can bring challenges and health issues. These may arise out of complex seething anger and failed interactions with groups. When the group disapproves, we can be cast into a deep funk like an oddball Rahu character judged by the Saturnian community crowd and hence there are some underlying time-bombs hidden in the 11th house in our ability to express our talents in society. If judged poorly we can be sent down a black hole. Social rejection can bring deep suffering of our creativity from the 5th house sitting opposite the 11th house. I remember Saturn

going through my 11th house a few years back and doing some pioneering humanitarian outreach in my community only to have the snipers and vultures come in and tear my achievement down out of jealousy. There are hidden perils in this house.

The 11th house is not always the picnic that is often painted to be.

#6: There can be “Weltsmertz” here or suffering for the pain of the world. We may seek to benefit and help society as we become more sensitive here, but local politics may drag us down to earth and create suffering in the end that may breakout into illness. I remember that I became very sick after years of politics in my spiritual organization. The 11th house is not always the picnic that is often painted to be. We may suffer in this house, but such anguish increases our sensitivity to the distresses of others. Experiences here inspire us to dream of a better world. We are put to the test in the 11th house whether we can take our ambitions of the 10th house and realize our dreams for a better society or be cast out and rejected. We are deeply tested here in whether we can change socially or be taken down by competitive political wolves who are more interested in their selfglorification than really helping society. Major transits of the more mature outer planets through our 11th house like Jupiter or The astrological emagazine

Saturn or the outer planets Neptune, Uranus or Rahu may trigger a longer stint at changing society and getting into the political ring or making a social difference. Jupiter will support community growth and progressive change, but Saturn will create a long arduous journey of hard work and battling to create a better world. Neptune will give us utopian visions and ideals that may not be possible - Uranus and Rahu will give more a revolutionary tendency and grassroots outreach to inspire us to create a new society against one that is not working. In a sense, one of the secrets of the 11th house and its natural connection to Rahu through Aquarius is to change the stale and worn-out elements of society. In a sense, it is an outlaw toward conservatism which is often so much a part of Saturn and Capricorn. Neptune wants an ideal society but as we know, Utopia means “no-place” and so our hopes and dreams for a better future become a huge battle against the conservative forces that resist change. Jupiter’s liberal values may also be too unreal if Jupiter is afflicted or the 11th house afflicted. The 11th house is an important place to move into society and our community to express our talents. It may be a difficult fight but it is part of our purpose on the planet.

planet. Do we heed the call or are we taken down by the political forces surrounded us. If your 11th house is strong then you have a good chance to make a difference and it is one worth doing. Given the Rahu selfcentered, greedy and corrupt world that has been developing over the past 30-40 years, we have our work cut out for us - but go out and make a difference. Take on the call of the 11th house to create a better world.

Planets impacting the 11th house Charts are unique. The Sign owning the 11th house, planets in the 11th house, planets aspecting the 11th house and the exchange of house and yogas will impact and color the interpretation of this house. Here is an overview about our connection to groups and community and politics via the 11th house. The effects of planets in or associated with the eleventh house: SUN IN THE 11TH HOUSE: There is an inherent conflict between the ego of the Sun and its personal ambitions and the needs of the collective in the 11th house. Put Sun together with Rahu and you get politicians who crave personal power over societal needs.

MOON in the 11th HOUSE: The moon by nature is public and orientated toward service We can learn so much by in the 11th house, but if afflicted looking at nature and ant and bee its heart connection to changing colonies and the wonderful way communities can easily lead to they work together for the whole. emotional wounds from doing The 11th house draws us into service and community work. moving outside of ourselves and doing something bigger for the The astrological emagazine

MARS IN THE 11TH HOUSE: Mars may be too ambitious and competitive in this house and put its ego ahead of societal needs. Personal goals may be in conflict with collective ones but passion and enthusiasm my triumph in creating change if supported by Jupiter. MERCURY IN THE 11TH HOUSE: Mercury if strong in Virgo, Gemini, Libra or Taurus can bring its intelligence to create positive change in society and be a great spokesman for about change. Connected to Mars, Aries or Scorpio and it will be too argumentative and may suffer problems in groups. Placed in Pisces it will may be overly idealistic and not practical enough to bring about change. JUPITER IN THE 11TH HOUSE: Connect Jupiter to Pisces or Sagittarius and the 11th house and there may be too much idealism, hope and a lack of practicality to bring change and this can lead to disappointment. VENUS IN THE 11TH HOUSE: If Venus is strong and connected to Pisces, Libra, Taurus, Gemini or Aquarius it can excel at relationship skills to bring about transformation graced with a wonderful sense of devotion and may reach out to help women and children with great poise and charm. SATURN IN THE 11TH HOUSE: Hard work, suffering and perseverance will bring change eventually if Saturn has dignity connected to Libra, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces or Sagittarius. If afflicted there may be a lack of confidence to create the change and illicit a APril 2020

why bother attitude in Aries. Still, a practical and determined effort will lead to success in service and that is why Saturn and politics and service are so connected. RAHU IN THE 11TH HOUSE: If there is dignity in Aquarius, Taurus, Gemini or Virgo then there can be a lot of charisma and ambition and success in bringing society and community change. If afflicted and connected to Scorpio or Sagittarius or Capricorn, there may be too much radicalism and revolutionary energy to make a difference. KETU IN THE 11TH HOUSE: Ketu is the recluse and the wandering saint and often dislikes groups or bolstering its standing in the community. This placement may lead to withdraw from society. Still if there is dignity in Scorpio, Sagittarius, Leo or Pisces, there can be a strong charitable and humanitarian desire to move and help society leading to philanthropy.

PART 2 : INCOME FROM WORK As the 11th house is 2nd from the 10th house it represents gains from work. The sign owning the 11th house and planets associated with the 11th house i.e. aspects, yogas, exchanges of houses or planets in the house, will have an impact on income tendencies and the dashas, periods running, and planetary transits may time that effect. Moreover, one often has to rotate the chart around the dasha lord to get the perspective for that period. Remedial

astrology also can help with cures to increase cash flow and understanding blind spots around finances. Sometimes in our attempt to fulfill our desires, we run over others as might be the case with Rahu or Mars dominant in the chart and that may lead to generating difficult karma in the future life. The key for the present is to earn income with integrity and honesty while avoiding anything shady particularly if you are in a Rahu period. The 11th house can also be connected to punishment if we indulge in inauspicious deeds. For moveable signs such as Cancer, Aries, Libra and Capricorn, the 11th house lord is Badhaka and can bring difficult past life karma around groups, friends and income. Planets can be favorable or unfavorable based on their unique level of dignity. Planets in their own signs, exalted or tenanting friend’s signs will produce better results than planets that are debilitated or in enemy signs.

The 11th house can also be connected to punishment if we indulge in inauspicious deeds. SUN: As favorable in Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Pisces, Scorpio; aspected by Jupiter and or Sun – experience of maximum gains with minimum efforts; high status and wealth - one of the best placements.

2) And the second one is Sagittarius where Saturn turns evil and spoils the sign of Jupiter. This time of the year, it is Saturn’s turn to ruin the house of Jupiter. November of 2017 saw Saturn move through the house of Jupiter. He is strong and he begins his evil attack. Slowly and steadily, he starts breaking the different parts of the house and causes tensions.

Characteristics of Sagittarius Sagittarius, the sign under attack, is a very dreaded sign. It is often depicted as animal that is half human and half horse. The upper part of the animal takes the human form and the lower part takes the form of the horse. So, this hybrid animal has two human hands and four legs of a horse. The animal is also seen carrying a bow and arrow, in an attacking position, and denotes a war-like situation. The zodiac, when negatively active can bring in tensions, distress, hatred, anger and aggressiveness. A slow Saturn constantly weakens this sign thereby activating the negative tendency of this sign.

Journey of Jupiter to Sagittarius On the other hand, Jupiter is two signs away and is fast moving to protect his house. At his current pace, he still has one and half years more to get to his house. But he is determined. He keeps moving. • In January of 2019, Jupiter picks up his pace and starts moving faster.

A deeper study of Sagittarius – a timeline November 2017 – Saturn’s entry to Sagittarius Way back in November 2017, Saturn (or Shani), a first rate malefic moved into Sagittarius, the house of Jupiter (or Guru). While Jupiter and Saturn don’t share a great relationship, they have also stayed away from each other. They rarely interfere in each other’s business and thus their hate for each other rarely turns into a fight. However, there are two houses where they end up fighting. 1) The first zodiac is Capricorn where Jupiter turns evil and tries to destroy that sign which belongs to Saturn, The astrological emagazine

• By March of 2019, he enters his house i.e. Sagittarius, desperately trying to save it from Saturn. Saturn notices Jupiter’s movement and becomes cautious. He acts as if nothing is happening. Jupiter is trying to estimate the extent of damage that has been caused. Suddenly a series of unfortunate events take place. • In May of 2019, Jupiter become retrograde and slowly moves back to Scorpio to fulfill his unfinished business in Scorpio.

Journey of Ketu to Sagittarius Meanwhile another heavenly planet Ketu starts approaching Sagittarius. Ketu is a chayagraha or a showdown planet and is the biggest rival of the Jupiter. Its natural motion is to move in a reverse

direction and when in the house of Jupiter, spares no effort to ruin the sign.

7000 are dead. It is also interesting to analyze the spread of the virus.

• In April of 2019, Ketu moves into Sagittarius, the house of its enemy. Ketu notices that evil Saturn has already started ruining the house. It is excited. It joins Saturn. Together, both Saturn and Ketu join forces and one by one break the different parts of the house. Jupiter notices this. He changes his gears. He stops his retrogression and goes back to normal motion. Jupiter is moving desperately trying to protect his house. He is now in an accelerated motion.

The Spread of Wuhan

• As Ketu enters Sagittarius in the November of 2019, the house is almost collapsing. Jupiter takes stock of things. He gets angry. He is wild. He is fuming. Saturn becomes quiet but Ketu continues to ruin the house. Jupiter moves closer to Ketu. Interestingly, the Sun and Mercury have also reached Sagittarius. The big war between Jupiter and Ketu begin. Unlike other planetary wars, the war between Jupiter and Ketu is the most dreaded. Here’s why. During the war, the two planets not only hurt each other but they also destroy everything around it – property, lives, wealth etc. The last time when the two planets were in war was in July 2012. The planets entered a war in the sign of Taurus, owned by Venus. We all know about the 1000 plus lives that were lost through terror activities across the world. Bombs, guns and other violent instruments ruled that month. A detailed list can be seen here - https://www.onthisday.com/events/ date/2012/july. An unfortunate month in human history.

2020: The Dreaded War of Jupiter and Ketu This conjunction and war of Jupiter and Ketu repeats this year, but the context and style is different. Non-living instruments like weapons, bombs and guns are replaced by living organisms. The deadly coronavirus attacks and destroys lives and wealth. Quietly it affects the human immune system. Some humans survive but the weak succumb and die. The fight between Ketu and Jupiter is so strong that epidemic grows to become a pandemic. Lives are lost. As I write this article, it is unfortunate that about 180,000 cases of coronavirus patients out of which

The first case of the virus started in Wuhan. If we take Ujjaini as the center, Wuhan is to the East of Ujjaini. Sagittarius is East. Also notice the difference between the coordinates of Wuhan and Ujjaini. Wuhan’s coordinate is 30.6N and 114.31E. Ujjaini’s coordinate is 23.18N and 75.8E. Essentially, the longitudinal difference between the two places is about 40 degrees. Look at the difference between the latitudinal values of Ketu and Jupiter. It is about 0.09 degrees which interestingly corresponds to 40.5 degrees east ward and 8 degrees northward of Ujjaini. Isn’t this mind blowing? The nakshatra where the war began was Purvashada which is a Savya in nature i.e. clockwise direction. The spread of the virus was in a clockwise direction. It started in China, spread to the USA and then moved to Europe, Africa and Middle East Asia in that order. Is this also a coincidence? Certainly not.

What happens after March 2020? This spread of the virus increases till March 15, 2020 after which Jupiter moves to a different sign. The cure for Coronavirus will not be found immediately thanks to Jupiter’s anger. While the spread might curtail, the cure is a long way to go. Evil Jupiter is not going to allow this to happen easily. He continues to be angry. While Jupiter has taken its vengeance with Ketu, the planet is not yet satiated. He next follows Saturn into his own house, Capricorn. Jupiter is moving at a fast pace and he becomes more and more evil. Now, it is his time for Jupiter to ruin the house of Saturn. Jupiter starts destroying the house of Saturn at rapid pace. On April 15, 2020 Saturn and Jupiter are in exact conjunction and the war between them will have reached its peak. This time, the war will affect the things shown by Saturn. Saturn denotes a couple of things - bottom section of the society, older men and women, agriculture and vocational skilled people like carpenters, artisans, ironsmith etc. You may wonder how these people will be affected?

Predicting Love Marriages through Naadi Astrology |H. Ramadas Rao

Marrying someone you love is common now. Parents are left with less or no choice in making marriage decisions for their children when it comes to love marriage. It will be in the best interest of everyone if parents understand the children’s views and guide them in the right direction in choosing the life partner. Sometimes, due toa lack of foresight and understanding of repercussions, such decisions may not result in long-lasting marriages. Thus, it is critical to do a thorough study of horoscopes to avoid any disappointments and make the right decisions for a happy marriage. Naadi Astrology is an ancient and deep study that can offer accurate predictions in determining the possibilities of love marriage in individuals. The article is an in-depth analysis of two charts where H. Ramadas Rao has used Naadi astrology and accurately predicted an inter-caste marriage in one case and a second marriage in the other case.

Naadi astrology for determining love marriage

H Ramadas Rao was born in 1952 in a traditional Madhva Brahmin family of Kashyapa Maharshi lineage from Surathkal near to Mangalore. Through the Blessings of Shri Raghavendra Swami Ji of Mantralaya, he started learning Jyotish with the books written by Shri B.V. Raman. In 1991, he got a Mantra Diksha from a Shri Vidya Upasaka from Udupi. His interest in Jyotishya increased and he studied Jaimini Jyotishya and later Nadi Jyotishya from Shri R.G. Rao. He regularly writes articles on Nadi Jyotishya on his Facebook page and currently teaching Nadi Jyotish in Surathkal.

As most of us know that as per the traditional method if 7th and 5th lords have any connection, it indicates love marriage. But I have seen in many cases this dictum won’t work perfectly. If we see as per normal zodiac, 5th house is Simha Rashi whose Lord is Surya and 7th house is Tula Rashi whose Lord is Shukra. As Surya is a very hot planet and Shukra is a cold planet, love will not blossom if these planets are combined unless this combination takes

place in a different house where Surya is adjustable. As per Naadi Astrology which is mainly a combination of principles laid down by Bhrigu Naadi and Nandi or Nandikeshwara Naadi, below are the main principles considered for love marriage: 1. We never use any Lagna as a starting point in the chart, instead, we use the planets and their various Karakatwas and the traits of the Rashis where they are posited. 2. Shukra is the Karaka for marriage and in a male chart, it indicates Patni Karaka or Karaka for the wife. The astrological emagazine

www.astrologicalmagazine.com

Surya being the intimate friend of Budha has helped him to secure a good education on Computer science.

3. For love to happen, first it starts with interaction with a boy and a girl and slowly friendship starts which continues and finally both decide to get married. For a friendship to occur, Budha is required and he is the catalyst to grow the love between the two. 4. Rahu and Ketu are the unseen planets and are called shadowy planets as they cast a shadow in human’s life when they are very close to a particular planet, which they want to swallow due to previous life Karma. As per Naadi Astrology, Rahu is considered as Muslim and Ketu as Christian as researched by Shri R.G. Rao. As per Naadi Astrology, we use the planets and their various Karakatwas and the traits of the Rashis where they are posited.

Example Chart-1: A case of inter-caste marriage I got a male chart about 6 years back from his father and after analyzing the chart, I informed the boy’s father that his son may enter into a love affair with a girl of different caste than that of father’s family. I will now analyze the boy’s chart using Shri R.G. Rao’s Naadi Astrology principles. In this given male chart, Guru is the Jiva Karaka placed in Simha Rashi and Shukra, the Karaka for Patni is placed in 11th house from Guru and thus marriage is promised at a proper age. The astrological emagazine

Shukra is placed in Mithuna Rashi along with Surya and Ketu. These 3 planets are placed in a Rashi whose lord Budha is 2nd to them in Karkataka Rashi which means Budha influences the planets in Mithuna Rashi. Now Budha influences the Jiva Karaka Guru as he is placed in 2nd to Budha. Thus Guru, Budha, Surya, Shukra, and Ketu are involved. Now as Budha is placed alone in Karkataka Rashi, he indicates a female. Now Budha is also the Karaka for education followed by Shukra, the Karaka for higher education or as we say particularly leads to post-graduation.

Now the Karaka for education, Budha is in Karkataka Rashi whose Lord Chandra is in Mesha Rashi along with Kuja who is the lord of Mesha Rashi itself. Chandra is the Karaka for movement and Kuja for machinery. So, this native has moved to a place where a lot of machinery is being manufactured and a government ruled city (New Delhi) and learned computer related science. Now let me try to explain how he studied this type of education. Budha, the Karaka of education is placed in Karkataka Rashi and 2nd to him is Guru indicating a highly reputed study. The sign Lord of Guru is Surya who is placed in Mithuna Rashi which is 12th from Budha and also is lorded by Budha himself. In Mithuna Rashi, there is Surya + Ketu + Shukra. Therefore, Surya being the intimate friend of Budha has helped him to secure a good education on Computer science. Now Budha is directly aspected by Shani (Retrograde) placed in his own sign of Makara Rashi. But Retro Shani means we have to consider him from his previous Rashi i.e. Dhanu where Rahu is posited. So, both Shani and Rahu will have an impact on the planets in Mithuna Rashi i.e. Surya + Shukra + Ketu. Now Rahu indicates foreign country and as Budha influences Retrograde Shani who takes his effects to Rahu in Dhanu Rashi and carries the aspect to the planets in Mithuna Rashi. As APril 2020

www.astrologicalmagazine.com

Shani(R) + Rahu are in Dhanu Rashi which is an eastern directional sign, the boy went to Australia for higher education which is South-East of his birthplace i.e. Gujarat. As Shukra is in 14 degrees longitude in Mithuna Rashi which is very strong, the affair is so deep and both of them decided to marry. But now the question may arise why South East as Dhanu Rashi indicates East. Here we are considering Shani (R) who is placed in South directional sign but he will give 50% results from his previous Rashi i.e. Dhanu Rashi. So, it has to be SouthEast foreign country (Australia). Now for higher studies, Shukra has to be considered who is placed in Mithuna Rashi lorded by Budha. Now there is Ketu also in Mithuna Rashi. He is in 6 Degrees of longitude.

What is Ketu’s influence during the boy’s higher studies? We must bear in mind that Ketu is a slow-moving shadowy planet and he influences slowly Surya and Shukra there in Mithuna Rashi. It is very clear that 1st Shukra has crossed Ketu and then Surya has crossed Ketu when the boy took birth. Shukra has gone to 14 degrees and Surya has gone to 10 degrees 40’ in Mithuna Rashi. So Shukra has got the maximum influence of Ketu. As we know that Shukra is a female planet which indicates Patni Karaka also placed in Budha’s own house of Mithuna Rashi and also Budha is placed in 2nd to Ketu + Surya + Shukra

20

APril 2020

in Mithuna Rashi. As a result of the maximum influence of Ketu over Shukra, during his higher studies, he came into contact with a Christian religion girl (indicated by Ketu). As it started with a slow acquaintance, then it got converted into a love affair. As Shukra is in 14 degrees longitude in Mithuna Rashi which is very strong, the affair is so deep and both of them decided to marry. The parents of the boy tried all methods to cancel this affair but the boy was firm (Surya indicates firmness) as the planet indicating friendship, Budha’s house is occupied by Surya + Shukra which is placed strongly in Mithuna Rashi, the boy was very firm in marrying the girl. Finally, the engagement took place on 8th April 2018. The marriage was fixed on the 16th of January 2019. I was not involved in deciding the date. Ketu is a slow-moving shadowy planet and he influences slowly Surya and Shukra there in Mithuna Rashi. Now, let me try to explain about fixing of marriage. The parents of the boy after consulting with the parents of the girl decided the above date of marriage. As we know that in a male chart, Shukra indicates Patni Karaka and is placed in Mithuna Rashi, a dwiswabhava Rashi. So as per my knowledge, the marriage will take place twice i.e. one as per Hindu tradition and 2nd as per Christian tradition. As per Naadi Astrology, Shani decides 1st by aspecting or through transit over natal Shukra. Here Shani is transiting over Dhanu Rashi.

At the time of engagement, Shani was transiting over Dhanu Rashi and retrograde Guru was transiting over Tula Rashi aspecting Shukra + Ketu indicating marriage will take place. At this time transit Ketu was in Makara Rashi. But recently I posted an article about marriage and Ketu’s importance in marital knots. So, on 16th of January, transit Shani will be in Dhanu Rashi along with Guru also there. If we look at the longitudes, Guru will just cross the longitude of natal Shukra and Shani is about to enter Makara Rashi. Now the important planet for wedlock is transit Ketu who will also be in Dhanu at a longitude of 13 degrees (Its aspect just crossing from natal Shukra). So, this confirms the marriage will take place on the 16th of January 2020 as promised by transit Shani + Guru + Ketu and the marriage took place on 16th January 2020 at Gwalior.

Example Chart-2: A case of extramarital affair for the male Here is another chart of love marriage with an extramarital affair. As per Naadi Astrology, Guru is Jiva Karaka, Shukra is Patni Karaka, Budha/Chandra becomes lover depending on situations. Shukra is always 1st wife. Now let me illustrate a chart where a male native marries his lover and then he starts another extramarital love affair. This seems to be somewhat absurd but in some cases, this happens.

The astrological emagazine

www.astrologicalmagazine.com

Guru, the Jiva Karaka in northern direction and Budha are in southern direction, so both aspect each other. This means the native starts a love affair with a female native for some time. But the sign dispositor of Budha is Shukra who is in the next house of Mithuna Rashi along with Karma Karaka Shani.

In the chart, Guru, the Jiva Karaka is in Meena Rashi/Pisces sign and Shukra with Shani in 4th house (Kendra) in Mithuna Rashi. Here both Karma Karaka Shani and Patni Karaka Shukra are together in Mithuna Rashi indicating he will have 2 wives. The sign dispositor of both Shukra and Shani is Budha who is in Vrishabha Rashi/Taurus sign along with Ketu. Now let us see how the Karma Karaka Shani’s play in this life. Look at the longitude of Shukra which is Mithuna 2 Degrees 35’ and Budha in Vrishabha 9 Degrees 45’ and Ketu in Vrishabha 8 Degrees 26’.

The astrological emagazine

So, Karma Karaka Shani says this is your past life Karma to get this female native to marry and the Parivartana takes place between Budha and Shukra. Now Shukra will be in direct aspect with Jiva Karaka Guru, so the native marries this female native. Now look at the longitude of Shukra who came to his own house due to Parivarthana and it is 2 Degrees 35’. But there is already Ketu in 8 Degrees 26’ which means Ketu is coming nearer to Shukra and Shukra coming nearer to Ketu. Now look at the 2nd sign from Jiva Karaka Guru which is Surya exalted at 21 Degrees 44’ in Mesha Rashi. Here one thing we must make a note that Surya’s exact exaltation point is 10 Degrees and he has crossed it and he is in the zone of Shani’s debilitation (10 Degrees 1’ to 20 Degrees). So we can easily confirm that Surya is not exalted or powerful and is going to enter Vrishabha Rashi and meet exchanged Shukra 1st. Surya is Putra Karaka as per Naadi Astrology and is a Agni Tatwa planet and he is going to meet Shukra, a Jala Tatwa planet, so Surya’s energy becomes diluted and so the native may not get any child from this lover turned wife.

As per Naadi Astrology, Guru is Jiva Karaka, Shukra is Patni Karaka, Budha/Chandra becomes lover depending on situations Now male energy or Purushatwa is indicated by Kuja/Mars who is with Chandra/Moon in 12th from Jiva Karaka Guru. So, this has made this native come in contact with another beautiful young lady. This 2nd love affair has continued for about 2-3 years and both decided to marry after the female native completes her postgraduate studies after 2 years (2020). Now he is not in a position to divorce his 1st wife as her mental condition has become worst due to not getting any issues from her (Shukra’s longitude will be 2 Degrees 35’ in Vrishabha Rashi after Parivarthana is in Chandra’s exaltation zone). Now look at the Karma Karaka Shani who is in Mithuna Rashi is in trine to his own Moola Trikona Rashi of Kumbha where he contacts both Chandra and Kuja. So, Karma Karaka Shani says to this male native that he should love another female native as per his past life Karmas and marry her and get a child from her. But the readers can see again that the Putra Karaka Surya is in directionally opposite to both Chandra and Kuja, so Surya says he will bless the native with a child from the 2nd lover who will turn to his 2nd wife. Now whether he will get any child or not only Karma Karaka Shani has to decide….

PLANETARY TRANSIT

Eclipses and Demise of Popes | Nemani Venkata Raghunatha Rao

Varahamihira, in his magnum opus Brihat Samhita, shares copious notes on details, how they need to be understood, the timing and the results of eclipses. Eclipses are considered a bad omen. History shares a lot of stories about the impact of eclipses on individual’s health, sometimes leading to death. In this article, the author takes 6 examples of Catholic Religious Leaders (Pope) and analyzes how the Eclipses – solar and lunar - have affected their health and led to death. He also enumerates the principles that one can apply to in the future. In this article, I would like to take some Catholic Religious Leaders (Pope) and see how the Solar and Lunar Eclipses have impacted their physical life and led to their death. The Pope also known as the Pontiff, is the Bishop of Rome, a leader of the worldwide Catholic Church. I am giving below some combinations from Jaimini Atma Karaka and Rahu/Ketu (nodes) transits and illustrated with some of the 21st Century Pope’s birth charts.

Principles: Dr. Nemani Venkata Raghunatha Rao is from Parvatipuram (Near Vizag), India and lives in San Francisco, USA. Dr. Raghunatha Rao has been practicing Vedic Astrology since 2002.

1. Effect of Eclipse will be given a week before (-7 days) to within 1 day AND 2. Effect of Eclipse will be given from 6 months prior (-180 days) to 6 months (180 days) later AND 3. Natal Atma Karaka Graha is transiting in 3, 6 or 11 houses AND 4. Eclipse is formed in Dushtana (6, 8, 12) or Maraka (2 or 7) or Khara (11) sthanas/houses with respect to Natal Rasi Chart. I’ve used all the Pope’s birth charts taken from (www.astrodatabank.com) and used Pushya-Paksha Ayanamsa and Eight Chara Karaka scheme for this analysis. It’s quite likely that the birth details you find elsewhere are slightly different from those I’ve used here.

COVID-19

The Outbreak of Coronavirus |Kathir Subbiah

Coronavirus There is so much going on about coronavirus. We can see which planets are responsible for causing this problem, when we will get the right medicine or vaccine for this virus and when we will get over this completely. Kathir Subbiah, widely known as KT Astrologer, was born in Tiruchirappalli, India. He did his M.S. Software System from BITS, Pilani. He is currently working in Microsoft as Software Engineer. He learned Vedic astrology since early 2000 by doing research, case studies, analytics, analyzing the pattern and real-life events. He is writing Monthly Predictions, New Year Predictions, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu / Ketu Transit predictions on his website https:// www.ktastro.com and also in his YouTube channels – KTAstro TV for the last 10 years. Email: [email protected] Website: https://www.ktastro.com WhatsApp: +1-510-470-4161

In the second half of Dec 2019, about 41 people developed pneumonia like symptoms without a clear cause. It was actually due to Coronavirus as per Chinese Doctor Li Wenliang. Doctor Li is a 33-year-old ophthalmologist based in Wuhan city, in China, gave early warnings about this new novel virus on Dec 30, 2019. Unfortunately, this news was suppressed and ignored by Chinese media and government. Unfortunately Li Wenliang passed away on Feb 7, 2020, at 2.58 am China local time. As of today March 14, 2020, more than 154,000 people got affected with COVID-19.

APril 2020

There is no vaccine or treatment available for virus currently. Now we can analyze which planets are responsible for the root cause of Virus. As per my predictions, Ketu is solely responsible. Ketu made conjunction with Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury on Thursday Dec 26, 2019. Moon was transiting on this day, that is Dec 26, 2019 in Moola Nakshatra. Currently Ketu is in strong position on its own star of Moola Nakshatra in Dhanus rasi.

Mars and Ketu Conjunction Mars and Ketu are making conjunction from Feb 7, 2020. The impact of Coronavirus will be felt much more until this conjunction is over on March 22, 2020.

Jupiter and Mars Conjunction But the good news is Jupiter and Mars are making conjunction The astrological emagazine

www.astrologicalmagazine.com

until March 22, 2020, that will provide good facilities to control the spread of coronavirus. Mercury retrograde cycle helped to do the testing much faster.

Unexpected Consequences Mars and Saturn conjunction between March 22, 2020 and March 29, 2020 does not look great. It can bring out a new problem but that may not be related to coronavirus. It can be a natural disaster or man-made disaster.

Good news We will get the correct medicine, vaccine once Jupiter moves onto Makara Rasi as adhi saram on March 29, 2020. Jupiter and Saturn conjunction will create Neecha Banga Raja yoga and give faster healing between March 29, 2020 and Jun 30, 2020.

Wait for Rahu / Ketu Transit to get over Coronavirus Finally, once Ketu will move out of Moola Nakshatra on Sep 25,

2020 that will mark an end to Coronavirus. This Coronavirus will become normal and can be treated easily by vaccine from Sep 2020.

YOUTH

Youth Counselling: An Imperative Not to be Ignored | Dr N. Chandrashekar

Today’s youth will decide the future of our nation. It is the power of youth that’s going to make or break the society and country. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to provide correct guidance to the youth, so they get a better understanding of their lives and live a meaningful and successful life. This cannot happen overnight and without intensive involvement of elders and the learned astrologers. The article is a critical perspective on how the elders and astrologers, together should take this seriously and work towards equipping themselves better in guiding the youth for a better future.

In the Kannada language, there is a saying ‘22 ralli kalithiddu, 72 ra thanaka’, which means, ‘What one learns at the age of 22 years of age will last until 72 years of age in one’s life.’ It means a lot of things. 1. Senior and elderly Kannadigas have made a lifetime of observations and study on human lives, that is more than 50 years of diligent observations and study on human behavioral patterns for which they have lived more than 72 years of age themselves. Dr. N. Chandrashekar, Ph.D., D.Litt., is into AstroPalmistry and Gems for the last 48 years and is known as Peoples’ Astrologer and has presented and published about 118 articles from “Spirituality to Sexuality” pertaining to Astro-Gemmology by working with 49 publications around the world. His work is recognized by 29 educational bodies across the globe. He is widely appreciated for his contribution of around 50,000 counseling sessions to the people of the world. He has been recognized and covered by popular media houses as well. He has done Gem selection for temple jewellery which adorn temple deities in temples in USA. He has also done Gems & Crystal selection for deities “Alankaaram and Kumbabishekam” purposes for centuries-old temples in South India. He has received countless appreciations for his work in 15 Indian languages and 7 foreign languages. Mobile: +91 9845473427 Emai: [email protected]

2. They have stressed and emphasized that proper inputs should be given to the youth during their character and ideology formations which will last longer and will be good support until 72 years of age. While working with youngsters in the age group of 19 to 22/23 years of age, and while checking their horoscopes, interestingly or incidentally I have found a few of them have had “Shani Bhukthi” running at these ages. On further examination of the horoscopes, I noticed that they would get “Shani Dasha” in their lives after around 50 years of age. During this Shani Bhukthi at around 20 years of age they seem to be interested in subjects “Outside the box” from their education stream/courses resulting in clashes in family incurring the wrath of their parents who were really anxious for investing money, time and hope in their Continued on Page 38...

Panchanga for April 2020 First column gives the English dates and next to it the names of the regional months and dates. The ending moments of Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana are given in the 24 hour clock extending to 30 hours. Of the Nityayogas, Vishkumbha, Parigha, Vyatipata, Vajra, Vyaghata, Vaidhruthi, Sula, Ganda and Atiganda are generally spurned for auspicious events and they are marked in red in the Panchanga. Vydhruti pervades from 346°40’ to 360° and Vyatipata from 213°20’ to 226°40’ of the sum of the Nirayana longitudes of the Sun and the Moon. Vydhruti and Vyatipata punyakaala are observed on the day when the yogas prevail for 1½ hours or more, when Sraddha is performed by the astute. These two belong to the shannavati -96- Sraddhas ordained for a householder. Considering the astronomical implications, the Sayana Vydhruti and Vyatipata days are also indicated in the Panchanga. The auspicious Amritayoga and Siddhayoga and inauspicious Maranayoga and Prabalarishtayoga come under Amirtaadiyoga scheme and are different from the Nityayogas. The Karana is the half of the Tithi. They are mainly classified as Sthira - fixed or immovable and Chara or moveable. The Chara Karanas are seven in number and the Sthira are only four. The fixed ones are inauspicious. They are Sakuni, Chatushpada, Naga and Kimsatugna. The seven movable Karanas are in their order, Bava, Baalava, Kaulava, Taitila, Gara, Vanija and Vishti (or Bhadra.) Among the movable Karanas Vishti or Bhadra is considered to be of dreadful. The forbidden Karanas are marked in red for easy identification. We have most of our religious observances pegged on to the Tithis. Pournamipooja Chandradarisana, Sankataharachaturthi Vrata, Shastivrata, Ekadasi Vrata and Pradosha are specially mentioned in the Panchanga. Pournamipooja is done in the evenings on days the full Moon is prevalent. Chandradarisana is observed on the evening on the day when the crescent Moon appears for the first time in the west after the Amavasya. Chaturthi of the Krishnapaksha or Bahula Chaturthi of every month is known as Sankataharachaturthi. The evenings of Sukla and Krishna Trayodasi days are specially observed as Pradosha Vrata days.

Eclipses and Demise of Popes Hand side chart is Lunar Eclipse Chart. A Solar Eclipse occurred on April 8th, 2005, 6 days after his death (Principle-2). A Lunar Eclipse occurred on April 24th, 2005, 22 days before his death (Principle-2). Pope’s Atma Karaka is Mercury and at the time of death, Mercury is transiting in his 6th house (Principle-3). Both Solar and Lunar Eclipses have occurred in 6/12 and 7/1 axis’s respectively from Natal Rasi

Chart (Principle-4). All these combinations have caused the Pope to leave his physical body.

Conclusion We saw how Solar and Lunar Eclipses works in conjunction with the Chara Atma Karaka in the determination of Pope’s death. Hopefully, my fellow astrologers will test these principles and extend these

principles to Hindu and/or other spiritual leaders as well.

What Astrology tells about Future of Coronavirus? An easiest way to create imbalance to this section of society is to increase the prices of raw materials, make things costly and destroy the basic infrastructure. When inflation rises and prices of commodities shoot up, the poor people will not be able make the ends meet. Similarly, when the infrastructure deteriorates the older generation find it difficult to navigate. We can anticipate these types of events in the month of April. The latitudinal difference between Saturn and Jupiter is approximate 0.04. From Ujjaini, the trigger place will be about 20 degrees West and 4 degrees South of Ujjaini which is roughly denotes Middle East – Saudi, UAE, Oman, Bahrain and Qatar. The Oil prices might

rise again impacting almost every consumable and non-consumable commodity around the word. Uttarashada is again a Savya constellation and the next set of country to be affected due this conjunction would be the SAARC countries. To s u m m a r i z e , t h e d e a d l y coronavirus will stop its acceleration and make a U-Turn by the third and fourth week of March but finding a cure in the immediate future is highly unlikely. A cure is more likely to be discovered when Jupiter comes back to Sagittarius around June-July 2020. A word of caution: The bad times haven’t stopped yet. This

will be followed by an increase in oil prices which will trigger inflation in both consumable and non-consumable commodities primarily in the SAARC region, India being one of those. Before I close this article, I would like to emphasize that the astrological interpretations given above should be used as an input to plan for bad times so that nothing adverse happens. Vedic Astrology is not a fatalistic science. It is an indicative science and an empowering science. It helps you plan the future and so that pitfalls if any, can be avoided. Om Tat Sat

Youth : Youth Counselling: An Imperative Not to Be Ignored children. They were anxious which was natural when their children deviated and were interested in different subjects. But, on understanding the implications 38

APril 2020

astrologically, the horoscopes revealed that Saturn or Shani was laying foundation stones during its Bhukthi at the age of 19 to 22/23 years for the good dasha of

Shani Dasha which comes after 50 years of age. Upon understanding the mechanism of how Shani work The astrological emagazine

www.astrologicalmagazine.com

so early in life, I had to pacify the youth by saying that it is, in fact, good to show interest in uncommon subjects as a hobby, but at the same time do not fail in fulfilling parents’ hopes. For parents, it is important to understand that the inclination to different interests in this tender age may fade away after Shani Bhukthi goes away, and this learning and interests may actually help the youth in life after 50 years of age. Explaining this to parents helps them in understanding the macro picture as indicated in their child’s horoscope, which can pacify both parents and the youth and get a better understanding of each other. What one learns between 19-22/23 years of age is very important for both early bloomers and late bloomers. What kind of value system is fed to youth is the responsibility of parents, teachers, peers, friends, elders at home and outside the home and society in general. The success or failure in the long term depends on these adolescent years. Strengths or weaknesses decided at the age of 19 to 22 years comes into play after 50 years of age.

such a value system that can suit to any script that life offers to them at any stage of their life. There lies the strength of Astrological counselling, which requires Astrologers to have a fair degree of knowledge of youth mentality and everything around them, along with very good knowledge of astrology.

As Astrologers, while counselling the youth, Dasha and Bhukthis that are at play at 19-22 years of age are very important to consider. Analysing these Dashas and Bhuktis may give clues to the future and based on that effective counselling may be given. I want to share a few thoughts and suggestions for fellow Astrologers on how to deal with today’s youth.

Today’s youth are very ambitious but unfortunately, they don’t have the required physical and mental energy levels to support them to realize their ambitions even to 50% level. So, naturally, they are disappointed which leads to a very serious level of dissatisfaction among youth.

#1: Provide a value system that lasts long As Astrologers, while doing youth counselling, don’t offer scripts to follow. Instead, offer The astrological emagazine

#2: Upgrade along with the technology advancements Astrologers must and should know the problems of today’s youth who comprise a major portion of the population. They should know that youth are bombarded with information from mainstream media like TV, print media etc. along with social media platforms. Today’s youth don’t need philosophers in Astrologers. Instead, they need elderly, experienced and friendly counsellors for which the Astrologer himself/herself needs to get training and upgrade himself/herself to technology.

#3: Guidance about a healthy mind and body

Here, Astrologers need to be experts in identifying the original talent that horoscope or palm indicates and counsel the young visitors accordingly. Secondly, guide them about proper food habits that will give them the energy required to nurture the ambition along

with original talent. Astrologers should learn to counsel the youth on good food consumption for good energy based on the youth’s horoscope. Therefore, Astrologers need to have knowledge of food and planets, food and nakshatras, and food and rashis. They need to upgrade on these subjects because our youth deserve to be guided about their innate talents and how best they can use them with the right healthy habits.

#4: Encourage to inculcate hobbies Youth are subjected to information bombardment and in the process, they are absorbing a lot as input, but unfortunately, they don’t have the necessary output channels in any healthy form. All that they have absorbed as input becomes “pent-up stock” without an outlet which disturbs them leading to psychological disorders and depression. Many youths are struggling with their pent-up information energies, for which they need a healthy outlet in the form of “constructive hobby” which will help them maintain a healthy balance physically and emotionally. Therefore, Astrologers need to firstly, understand the temperament of youth and have enough knowledge about various hobbies and activities to recommend to youth, based on their horoscope. Of course, religious remedies that come from the horoscope are also available everywhere. Today’s Astrologer needs to upgrade himself on the Loukika paraiharas or non-religious remedies or social remedies for the benefit of youth which will eventually help in community building and nation-building.
