Jupiter, the King Maker, gives Crown to Modi !

Jupiter, the King Maker, does Kejriwal in !

Jupiter is the King Maker. His transits can make or break you.

Jupiter gives the effects two months before he transits a sign, Dwimasau Gurau. The date when he transits to Cancer is Jun 19th. So two months before means Apr 19 and he gave the Crown to Modi and brickbats to Kejriwal !

For Modi ji, Jupiter worked as Jupiter in the benign Ninth. ( Anuradha, Moon Sign Scorpio ).

For Kejri ji, Jupiter worked as Jupiter in the malign Third. ( Karthika, Taurus Moon Sign ).

Jupiter is well posited in the horoscope of Sri Modi, in Aquarius. In Aquarius, Jove gives the result of exalted Jupiter, that of Jupiter in Cancer.

His Mercury is exalted in the 11th, indicating his pro Business attitude.

The four major Yogas, Sasi Mangala, Ruchaka, Kesari and Neecha Bhanga have catapulted him to the level of the PM. Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga indicates one's rise from obscurity to the highest echelons of power.

The swearing in ceremony was changed from Wednesday, as Moon was transiting the 8th, Chandrashtama, at 1000 AM, Delhi, on that day. 

Libra Ascendant rises at Delhi at 1800, 26th May, 2014 ! Mixed fortunes !

The Heavens portend mixed fortunes for the New Government.

The Electional Ascendant at 0600 PM is Libra, with exalted Saturn and the North Node, Rahu, posited in it.

Venus, the Ascendant lord, is posited in the Seventh House, the House of Diplomacy, with Ketu and the Moon.

Jupiter, the Divine Planet, is in the Ninth House, aspecting the Electional Ascendant or Muhoortha Lagna. This Jupiterian aspect is considered good in Electional Astrology.

There are some problems like Sun in the 8th and Moon in the Sixth Rasi of the PM. These indicate that there are many problems to tackle and many a hindrance to surmount !

We wish the Government well. May the New Government usher in an era of peace and prosperity !

Season Time in Guruvayur

It is season time in Guruvayur. Lakhs come because of Vaishakaha and this lunar month ends on May 28th.

Astrology has decreed that marriages are inauspicious in the months of Kanya, Dhanus, Kataka and Kumbha and the second half of Meena. Hence there will be less rush during these sidereal months. Last Sunday there were 140 marriages in Guruvayur.

Mesha, Edava and Mithuna are considered auspicious. There may be recession in the months of Mithuna and Kataka.

Still about 30 K people visit the temple and on holidays it may go upto 50 K.

Auspicious Periods !

All auspicious events are done during the Northen Solstice or Uttarayana. Southern Solstice is considered medium.

Ayane Uttare Shreshta Madhyamam Dakshinayanam

Similarly Bright Fortnight or Shukla Paksha is considered auspicious for all Vedic rites. And Krishna Paksha is Madhyamam. ( Dark Fortnight ).

When the Sun transits the First Point of Sidereal Capricorn, Northern Sostice is initiated, Makakyathu Samkranti Uttarayana Samjnitha .

When the Sun enters the First Point of Sidereal Cancer, Southern Solstice is initiated, Ashade Karki Samkranti Projyathe Dakshinayanam. 

The Hindu Lunar Calendar !

The Hindu Lunar Calendar is computed from the Equinoctial New Moon. The First Month, Chaitra, fell on March 31. The twelve lunar months have twelve solar ingresses in it and hence it is known as the Luni Solar Calendar !

Vaishakh, the second month in the H L Calendar, will end May 28th. It seems the cycles of Prakriti are related to Business Cycles. Then on May 29th, Edava Pathi starts and then we have the lean months of Mithuna and Kataka. Only when Chingam or Simha dawns, can one hope for better times materially. Spiritually Cancer or Kataka marks the Point of Summer Solstice and is known as the Holy Month of Ramayana. !

People generally follow the Indian Solar Calendar and are unaware of this Calendar.

Astronomy and Maths from Pedro Nunes, a Jewish astronomer. Matteo Ricci was
sent to India for this purpose !
