It is to be clearly understood that  A person’s life is carried on because of his KARMA (Actions of past janma) only and GOD has nothing to do on the same except that HE ensures that the person undergoes the effects of his own deeds.

Neither GOD can change the Karma nor any prayers to GOD. Only the  pariharams , to be done properly will result in changes to his Karma. Death and birth is usual phenomena and it will go on and on. Everyone born will die one day. It is only some few years, person will dominate/rule the world, but eventually he/she will be buried/burnt etc. etc., . There is no escape from this cycle.

It is very rarely that a person with clear Lagna will understand this drama and will think in terms getting salvation. Though this number may be small, but it is the ultimate for everyone. He is one who will do real prayers. I have seen many people thinking that they are doing prayers will be wearing different kind of dresses for the outside world to know that he is a sage like. But  none of the scripts ever say such things nor there is any need to do dressing and all. GOD does not care about your beauty/dress etc., but wants only full surrender to HIM.

Some of the people ask even though I have surrendered to GOD, I am not getting the best from HIM. They think by just physically falling on the feet of LORD, they claim to have surrendered. GOD cannot be fooled and HE watches your mind/actions and thinking only. Real Surrender to HIM mean that your entire thinking and actions should be as per GOD’s wish and law. The person should be able to see everything and everywhere the presence of GOD and his actions. He will not and never aspire anything for him or for his family. Whatever happens to him or his family, the person will say it is the grace of GOD and will be very happy to see that GOD’s actions are always for GOOD.

If one carefully watches the life style of LORD RAMA, we can see that GOD ensures always that no one’s karma is changed or affected. HE manages to sail through ensuring every one’s karma is not disturbed. It is also clear from RAMAYANA, that the actions of RAMA was very clear and he was aware of what he was doing and its ultimate result. LORD obeyed father’s words and said that HE will go away from the city to forest, as HIS father promised Bharata, the kingdom.  Here is the beauty of KARMA, that LORD RAMA knows that a position meant for him by LAW can never be snatched by anyone, as KARMA has to be followed.

This is classic example of KARMA effects. This kind of future visualisation is possible , only if a person has such powerful Lagna like lord RAMA.

Some of the government officials usually ask whether they will get the promotion due to them or will it go to his Juniors.Well, here the person should understand however beneficial the planetary position may be, when the other person’s chart is more powerful, then it will result the other way. Here is where person should think like LORD RAMA and carry on as usual. But one thing can be guaranteed to such people who have been superseded by the superiors is that, such unfortunate people will get the best reward from GOD, later.  This happens not because of persons efficiency or his beauty or intelligence, but because of KARMA.

When so many officials fight for higher positions and trying to get to the top of everyone, they never think how are their political rulers?. Do they ever have such experience in working ?, do they have served in top posts ? ever or do they have any experience in managing finance/personnel etc..  This top man having studied so much from best schools in the world to colleges ,universities and presenting many research papers , working for decades in management and various places with several people.

He comes with such outstanding experience, but made to serve under the political superiors of no education to some education, no experience in administration, may not be knowing the meaning of geography of his own country, is made to rule the so called top most person. Though it looks so pathetic , reality is that it is the KARMA which ultimately rules the universe.

NO one or anyone in the world is unable to change this scenario. Why?. Once again a person with calm thinking will clearly understand that it is the KARMA which overtakes everything. Though scientific community and educational bosses have created so many books, syllabus, tough calculations being thrust into the young people mind, with the sole aim of getting the best knowledge person. But in practice all this educations have terrible limitations and in fact works in the negative. A person with best education is aspiring for good position and status in life. But his Karma does not allow him to do so. Hence, with much frustration, he turns to be antisocial element, as his aspirations are not satisfied. Once again it is not eh education or his intelligence which rules the world, but it is his KARMA only.

The LAGNA has to be assessed  from all these angles. Just because a person is educated and  intelligent does not mean that he will automatically get all the best in the world. I find some astrologers have the habit of telling favourably for some people from high society. This is not the right method.

One of the top cops asked me about his kid, immediately after birth. As he was the top COP, I could not openly say about the KARMA of the child. Still my Athma never permitted saying lies. But I had to manage the situation  and said that please ensure that the child is okay, as chart shows many negative features. It is after about 5 years, he again asked what to do, as his child was spastic. It is the KARMA which rules over everything. Is there a way that spastic child can ever be recovered?. NO it is not possible. The child does not know anything what he/shes doing, but it is greatest burden for parents. Every minute/everyday they will have to curse themselves. The more the child lives, the more parents will suffer. This is the reality.

Here the only way problems can be solved is to do proper pariharams. Understand their previous Janma deeds and try to undo the same. In this way, it can be ensured that the same SINS do not continue for the next generation.

The three Khans of Bollywood keep the film buffs occupied throughout the year. One of the fans of Salman Khan is anxious to know how his forthcoming film “Veer” will perform on the box office. The query reflects the sense of competition among the respective fans of the three Khans.

An attempt has been made to answer the query on the basis of Prashna Shastra (Horary Astrology). His forthcoming film “Veer” is scheduled for release on 22nd January 2010. The question was asked on 23rd December 2009 at 05:48 PM (IST).

The Panchang parameters of the day of release of the film 22nd January 2010 are as follows.

Vaar (day) is Shukra (Friday).
Tithi is Saptami
Yoga is Siddha.
Karan is Gara
Nakshatra is Revati 3rd pada.
The Paksha is Shukla.

The Prashna horoscope (Horary chart) based on 23rd December 2009 at 05:48 PM (IST) suggests the following.

Gemini is rising in the Lagna. Ketu is placed in the Lagna.
Second house has Mars.
Fourth house has Saturn.
Sun, Mercury, Venus and Rahu are placed in the 7th house.
Jupiter and Moon are placed in the 9th house.

We see that the 10th lord Jupiter is placed in the 9th house with 2nd lord Moon. The film will be able to earn well because of sale of several rights and the goodwill which the actor commands. The conjunction of Sun, Mercury, Venus and Rahu in the 7th house indicates that the movie can earn well from foreign release and due to sale of foreign rights. The music of the film should do well. However, the correct marketing strategy may be a big factor.

The film may not be able to convince the cine goers at the domestic front. Though, the opening is expected to be good, the film may do average business only. Salman Khan’s role will be appreciated but the story line may fail to impress the audience.

The year 2010 continues to be a tough year for Salman Khan. However, he can plan settlement in terms of marriage or family during the year. He was born on 27th December 1965. His Moon sign is Aquarius. Analyzing from Moon, right now Saturn is transiting from his eighth house. Normally, this is a testing transit for an individual. However, the transit of Jupiter from over the natal Moon does impart grace of God as well. Hence, there shall be difficulty in life but also protection of God during the year.

I was asked by many people as to the difference between prayer to GOD and pariharams. What people are doing now is not prayer and only pariharams.

I think to understand the difference it requires clear and well thinking mind or in short ATHMA VISION. Let me explain as follows:

From childhood, every person is taught to go to temples to get rid of some problems or doing well in schools, getting admission in colleges, getting Job, getting married etc.., etc.. and every time the person is made to go to temple with thrust on getting some benefits for him.

This is exactly called pariharam. A person approaches GOD to get some benefits whereby he/she ask for pardoning, to get their things done. This is what is called pariharam and not prayer. When you do pariharam like this ,perhaps some time it may click and mostly it will fail, depending on where a person does this pooja, for what purpose and how is his planetary positions in the horoscope.  

Let me go in detail pariharams later, but  let me explain about prayers. Prayers are not for any benefit to the individual. He/She is one, who has clear ATHMA Vision knowing fully well about the body /life etc., realises the fact that all the things that glitters in this world, are all illusions. This body will vanish once ATHMA goes out and no escape routes from death/birth cycle.

He understand fully that flesh in the body gives attraction and it is an illusion to tempt you to do wrong things. Great ADI SANKARA says that birth and death is usual phenomena and it will never end , it goes on and on.  We can see in the real life and in front of us and the world as a whole, people/ rulers do many things to ensure they are in power and authority. They violate law and ensure that their enemies are not allowed to live. In the process, they not only commit  lot of SINS, but also their entire team of family and friends are made to tow their line. Thousands and may be millions are forced to commit SINS.

This is what GOD explains in BAGAWAD GITA that whatever and however high person or king may be, when a person follows the path of dharma, then GOD will come for an individuals sake.

These things are well known to those who do prayers and aim at only getting closer to GOD and/ or be with him. This does not mean all the people living in temples are all doing prayers and have ATHMA VISION. A person with ATHMA VISION doing prayers to GOD will not have ambitions/likings/dislikes. HE will not feel different from all other lives in the world. HE will have no wishes or ambitions and HIS only aim and concentration of mind will be on GOD and his actions.

PRAYER here strictly mean that it should be from his /hers heart and his way of living,talking actions are all always very simple, not looking for others etc., Normally they are not among the people and shall always like to be away from them. They close their eyes and always visualise GOD’s actions, going on around this globe.

Therefore, it is always better to understand as to what we propose to do for getting rid of problems and also aim for getting Athma vision. These are people will do prayers to GOD without any expectations, but will also be doing pariharams. But these people in my experience gets frustrated at some point of time. This is because they mix up prayer and pariharams and confuse themselves.

Prayers as explained above, will not relieve us from problems/hurdles and perhaps may have to face severe strain in leading normal life. Whatever happening to an individual is nothing but his KARMA and has nothing to do with prayers. A person may perform various rituals prescribed and will look like great pandit , may be in nromal life, may look like doing prayers to GOD. But HE is only discharging his KARMA.

Person doing prayers, will not be visiting temples and will have the vision to see GOD everywhere. He is the super scientist and HE knows everything happening in this world.

The LAGNA of such a person will be very clear and for E-g , Lord RAM’s chart, where Lagna Lord is exalted with Jupiter in Lagna exalted. What else is needed to be like GOD ?, when such a planetary disposition is there.

Therefore LAGNA is the kingpin for the entire chart and I will continue in my next article.

We are heading into the finish line of 2009. With Mercury retrograde we are supported to review and tie up loose ends of unfinished business. This last week of the year is an excellent time to look backwards into your year, take inventory of what happened and evolved for you throughout the current year. You are a different person now then you have been a year ago or two years ago and you are planning now who you want to be down the road.

These are the highlights of this week:

• Partial Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon in Cancer
• Moon Squares Saturn and Opposes the Sun, Venus and Pluto
• Four planets and the North Node are in Capricorn

Time for Introspection
With four planets in Capricorn, the cosmic spotlight is turned on the tenth sign of the zodiac where it is all about clarity, focus, organization and commitment. With Capricorn we learn the lessons of maturity and responsibility. We can now successfully sit down and draw up the vision and plans for the coming year. We learn to be the stewards of our own fate and choose our destiny.

Mercury is turning direct again on January 15, 2010 and with that we will be able to truly move forward into the next year with first steps to implement our dreams. Use the next 3 weeks before this turn around for introspection and planning so you are ready to move ahead with the universal support in the middle of January.

This is the time to plan your year and brainstorm about all the different areas in your life: your professional life, you in your relationships and community, your spiritual life, your health and your long term goals of wealth and abundance. I suggest you sit down with your journal and just work with the different topics and let ideas and thoughts flow onto the paper.

You also could make it a real fun project and get together with a friend and create a vision board for the coming year. That is what I am going to do after pre-planning with writing out my ideas. I will meet with 2 girl friends of mine; we take a Sunday afternoon in January to work with colors, words and collage and put a visual feast together, my vision board for the wall over my desk to keep me aligned and inspired throughout the year.

The Four Planets in Capricorn are Sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto as well as the North Node
The Sun is representing the center of your own individual consciousness and your self identity. First it is about reflection and clarity of purpose and then we can move into action.

Ask yourself: Who are you?

“I am a mother, wife, friend, artist, lawyer, doctor…”
What are your specific qualities and virtues?

“I am very reliable, I walk my talk, I am compassionate, I am creative, I am curious, I am social, I have a sense for beauty, I love to grow and learn, and I like to move my body…”

Where do you want to go, grow and expand?
“I like to learn how to do design work on the computer, I like to learn another language, I like to travel to Europe, and I like to create a writer’s network…

Mercury is our mental capacity and ability to communicate, write, speak, learn and perceive the world. Ask yourself questions deepening your self perception and understanding. Use the mental clarity and focus of this Capricorn Mercury for this process and ask yourself.
“What is my highest vision for myself in these different areas?
I like to establish my own publishing company this year; I will finish my astrological life planner book…”

Venus brings the need for love and harmony into the mix and makes sure you consider her requirements for nourishing relationships and a supportive network of friends.
“Where am I going in my intimate relationship? Is there a magnificent other or not? How does my ideal relationship look like? What are my true needs? What do I have to give?”

Pluto stimulates transformation and over due changes and asks:
“Where do I need to implement changes into my life? What do I need to let go off? What is really not working in my life?”

Partial Lunar Eclipse: Full Moon in Cancer on December 31
This Full Moon which is also a Lunar Eclipse squares the Saturn in Libra and opposes Sun, Venus and Pluto in Capricorn. The Full Moon itself is always a significant culmination and climax point of the month. The Moon in general is your emotional make-up and coloring of your perception of the present moment. Especially the Full Moons of the Lunar Eclipses are calling us towards the new and expansion of life. In order for that we need to release and let go of the old and out grown structures of thoughts and emotions. The Moon in Cancer illuminates what we need for emotional and spiritual nourishment in order to guide us into the overview and maturation of Capricorn.

With the Full Moon squaring Saturn and opposing Sun, Venus and Pluto we are put to the task. We need to be impeccable in our commitments and as clear as possible to be able to chart the map and stir the course for our boat over the wavy waters of the present times.

Moon Will be Moving from Inquisitive Gemini, to Emotional Cancer, through Creative Leo, and Thoughtful Virgo
If you are interested in the particularities of these Moon positions you can look up older posts on my blog with the search box and find out more.

I hope I have given you some thoughts for a meaningful and fun transition into the New Year. I love to hear from you and wish you a wonderful start and Happy New Year!

Many people looking at an astrologer,come only for the purpose of getting solution to their problems. They do not understand that planets in their horoscope, indicate many things and its about their entire life.  

When a Lagna is studied, it is a must to know about characteristics of each and every planet acting on that person. For e-g, I get hundreds of horoscope with Lagna and Kethu or Rahu in perfect affliction. Ther has been confusion about affliction. Let me clarify that if the Lagna and another planet except SUN, are in the same degrees then it is to be read as Lagna afflicted. If Lagna and SUN are posited in the same Degree, it is be read as combust. 

The quantum of affliction and combustion will vary depending on the gap between them, and therefore the results on the person. The results of afflicted lagna will be based on nature of planet afflicting the lagna. For e-g, if Kethu is afflicting the lagna, then the person will have different kind of thinking in his mind and work.  He/she has to face many hurdles and in spite of doing correctly as per their assessment, the same work may create problems for them.

If one look at many horoscopes, they will find that Lagna is afflicted /combust or affected inone way or the other. The reason for this is ,when we look at the way we live in this world, everyone is looking up on others for something or the other.  For each and every work, some others have to involve for completing the work. For e-g, when you go to bank, people in the bank alone have to work for you. Similarly when you go to office, market ,shopping etc..everyone has to depend on somebody else for your work.

As human life has been going on like this, every Lagna will have some affliction or the other. But the afflictions should not be in such a way that, it affects him in many ways. What happens when Lagna is afflicted (say) more than 80%. Such people will not be living for themselves and will depend on others only. For each and everything, they will have to ask others for their existance. These people would have lived the worst way of living in the past generations. Meaning that harassing/teasing others for years, make others to be their slaves etc.. in their past generations.

Another common mistakes done by humans are always thinking high about ourselves and thinking bad about others. Try to become rich faster than others. Try to show off that they are top class society. Always doing something/cheating others to get quick bucks etc., etc.. In this process spoil many people/families and may be causing death to others.

The above illustrations are only samples and there are so many tricks/tactics people adopt to overcome their ambitions. Everyone must remeber that GOD is always watching and LORD is with us only. In fact,  ALMIGHTY is a witness to all our actions. Hence, when you do something worng as per your consciousness, wait for the punishment from HIM. HE punishes and mostly punishes very badly. It cannot be easily explained as to how LORD gives punishment for SINS committed. GOD is so CRUEL on many occasions.

When we watch super earth quakes, super tsunamis, flooding, super storms and some of the cruel accidents, GOD is very much visible there. Though Black clouds looks nice  and when it rains heavily, it is great pleasure to watch, but when the same exceeds limits, it gets worsened and hundreds are mercilessly killed.

There are many examples of GODs cruelty to humans, but it happens to people who are indulging in many wrong deeds as explained above.  I am bringing all these facts because Planets positioning in a chart are based on his deeds only. In the chart the first and foremost and the essence is Lagna. Many and almost all the visitors ask me as to when I do work honestly and lead a simple life, why should I get affected?. This is what is called ignorance of ATHMA Vision.

I will explain in detail in my next article.
