Amitabh Bachchan who is a cult figure in Bollywood, does not require any introduction. He is still one of the leading film personalities. He has a big brand value for the advertisement industry. Even at the age of 68 years, he is not in the habit of looking back.

Amitabh Bachchan was born on 11th October 1942 when Aquarius “Lagna” (Ascendant) was rising. His Sun sign as per the Vedic system is Virgo. Moon sign is Libra and Birth “Nakshatra is Swati 2nd pada”.

Planetary positions in his horoscope are given below:-

Ascendant (Lagna) is Aquarius. Ketu is placed in lagna.
Second house has no planet.
Third house has no planet.
Fourth house has retrograde Saturn.
Fifth house has no planet.
Sixth house has retrograde Jupiter.
Seventh house has Rahu.
Eighth house has Sun, retrograde Mercury, Venus and Mars.
Ninth house has Moon.
Tenth house has no planet.
Eleventh house has no planet.
Twelfth house has no planet.

The current dasa (method of timing) running as per his horoscope is “Ketu / Mars” which started from 22nd July 2009 and will continue till 19th December 2009. The dasa of “Ketu / Rahu” will start thereafter and shall continue till 7th January 2011.

Mars, the “antardasa lord”, is placed in the 8th house which is the house of obstacles. Mars happens to be the lord of the 3rd house in his horoscope. 3rd house, as per Vedic astrology, refers to friends and associates. Friends and associates may bring disrepute to Amitabh during the running dasa of “Ketu / Mars”. Films released during this period may not do well on the box-office. However, the main area of concern may be his reputation.

In Vedic astrology, the 7th house of the horoscope is relevant for associations, partnerships, spouse and public reputation. The lord of the 7th house, in his horoscope, is Sun that happens to be placed in the 8th house. Sun also happens to be the “Atmakaraka” (placed in the highest degree of longitude) in his horoscope. However, Saturn is afflicting the “Atmakaraka” Sun in transit. Sun, in Vedic astrology, signifies government and government agencies. The current transit of Saturn is signifying action of Government agencies on him.

The problems are going to aggravate in the dasa to follow i.e., “Ketu / Rahu” which will start on him from 19th December 2009. Rahu placed in the 7th house may adversely affect his reputation. He may become a prey to political vendetta. The transit of Saturn from the eighth house and from over the “Atmakaraka” Sun signifies that health may be a matter of key concern for him in times to come especially in the year 2010. Things may be tough for wife Jaya Bachchan as well. However, formation of “Vipreet rajya yoga” (astrological combination showing gain amidst adversity) in the 8th house signifies that Amitabh will show a brave front and will fight with adversities.

The 8th house is also significant for past deeds and forgotten issues. It is likely that transit of Saturn from the 8th house may revive the old and forgotten issues which may become an additional source of concern and tension.

The former Miss World, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is married to Abhishek Bachchan, the son of the legendary Bollywood personality Amitabh Bachchan. Aishwarya is also one of the leading actresses of Bollywood. She commands a big brand value for the advertisement industry in the country.

Media and astrologers keep speculating about her career, her family life and matters relating to progeny. In this article we shall use the predictive techniques as laid down in Vedic astrology to interpret the promises of her horoscope for the coming year with respect to the three aspects of life mentioned above.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was born on 1st November 1973 when Virgo Lagna (Ascendant) was rising. Sun sign as per the Vedic system is Libra. As per the western system it is Scorpio. Moon sign is Sagittarius. The birth Nakshatra is “Purva Ashadha 2nd pada”.

Brief description of planetary placement is given below:-

Ascendant (Lagna) is Virgo. There is no planet and no aspect on the lagna.
Second house has debilitated Sun.
Third house has retrograde Mercury.
Fourth house has Venus, Moon and Rahu.
Fifth house has debilitated Jupiter.
Sixth house has no planet.
Seventh house has no planet.
Eighth house has retrograde Mars.
Ninth house has no planet.
Tenth house has retrograde Saturn and Ketu.
Eleventh house has no planet.
Twelfth house has no planet.

Aishwarya Rai is currently running the dasa (timing as per Vedic astrology) of Rahu / Jupiter which will continue till January 2012. The “Varshparvesh” (Solar ingress) horoscope shows Sagittarius “lagna” (ascendant) rising in the eastern horizon. The year ahead has been analyzed by the use of dasa analysis and predictive techniques of “Varshparvesh horoscope”.

Career in the year 2009- 2010:-

The “Muntha” (parameter used in Varshphal) is in Virgo that happens to be placed in the 10th house in the “Varshparvesh horoscope”. This indicates that her focus after 1st November 2009 (birthday) will be on matters related to career. The first “Mudda dasa” (method of timing in “Varshphal”) is of Venus which is placed in the 10th house indicating that the focus till 31st December 2009 will be on film release and signing new contracts.

Financially, things will improve in the “Mudda dasa” of Sun which will start from 1st January 2010 and will continue till 19th January 2010. Career and professional life will become secondary after that. The focus will drift towards family issues. Career and professional issues may again take a centre stage in the “Mudda dasa” of Saturn from 25th June 2010.

Family Prospects in the year 2009-2010:-

The transit of “Rahu” over the natal Moon and the fourth house signifies that family issues will become very important in the year 2010 especially after the start of “Mudda dasa” of Moon in the “Varshphal horoscope” from 20th January 2010. “Rahu” transit in 4th house is likely to cause some friction in the domestic front for her. Health-related issues of close family relatives may be a source of concern during the year.

Progeny Prospects in the year 2009-2010:-

The antardasa running is of “Rahu / Jupiter”. The placement of Jupiter in the 5th house (house of progeny) indicates that the time has come in the life of Aishwarya Rai to plan for children. However, it needs special mention that Jupiter in debilitation in the 5th house is not very good for progeny prospects. The fifth lord is also afflicted by being retrograde and being placed in “Rahu / Ketu” axis.

Verifying from the “Varshpravesh horoscope” the 5th lord Mars is placed in its “rashi” (sign) of debilitation in the 8th house in conjunction with “Ketu”. The period from 20th February 2010 can be tough with respect to progeny. The period from 14th October 2010 to 1st November 2010 is the period to be careful. The couple may have to resort to astrological healing for Jupiter and Mars for a healthy child.

How did your day go yesterday? It seemed to be a special day with all the number nines going on. I had a nice evening at the book release party of a friend of mine. I am not an expert with numerology but the numbers where getting my attention. Today we have more challenging activities in the cosmic heaven which was already foreshadowed in the energy of yesterday.

The Moon in Gemini
Mercury, the ruler of Gemini just went retrograde this week and with that things in our communication channels might be slowing down. Hurdles with electrical equipment, lost emails or responses force us to become really clear in our communications. The Moon in Gemini helps us with some lightness, ease and playfulness and will counterbalance some of the irritation and impatience the retrograde Mercury might bring. It is a time to go out and socialize with your friends, have a party or go to a concert.

This article is a forecast and discussion of the current astrological weather in the heavens for September 10 – 11, 2009. If you have the same specific aspect connection in your personal horoscope we are talking about today you will experience similar things I am describing. Like if you have Moon in Gemini or Venus in Leo in your personal chart, you will be able to relate to what I describe here today on a personal level as well.

Venus Jupiter Opposition
Venus is now in 18 degree Leo, her face in opposition to Jupiter in Aquarius. All Leos are enjoying this transit immensely. Like my friend Laura with her Sun in Leo and she suddenly meets all this beautiful, attractive men who adore her and want to marry her. She is truly the Queen with her male admirers at her feet and after a dry spell of over a year in her relationship arena she is enjoying herself tremendously and I am having fun watching her. She is glowing and radiant.

Venus the goddess of love and beauty is teaming up with the expansive energy of Jupiter and together they might go overboard in the excitement of the moment. Remember an opposition is a hard aspect and we have to learn to bring the opposing elements together and find an expression for them in our life. For my friend Laura that means there is a lot of activity for her in the area of relationships but she will not be settling down with it soon. The expansive energy of Jupiter is carrying to much energy and will keep her moving at least till the last back and forth motion of the two planets have settled. But she will enjoy herself for sure if she keeps moving with the energy.

Jupiter is also a teacher for us to find deeper meaning in life and an inner connection to the divine in whatever form that takes for us. For me my relationship with God or call it the divine is the most important in my life. As a meditator and a creative person that connection fuels my everyday life and gives me so much joy in my participation of the flow of love.

With Jupiter opposing Venus we will be confronting Venus themes which will elucidate what we really need in a relationship. Our sense of self value and who we are and what we have to give in a relationship will give raise to more self confidence.

Suggestion
Today I would like to inspire you to take time for yourself with a cup of tea and your journal and write down what you are able to give to your friends and partner because of WHO YOU ARE. It is always good to start affirming who you are beginning the sentence with I AM.

I am a very compassionate person.
I am always reaching out to help my friends or even strangers if there is need.
I am always expressing myself from a place of truth and honesty as much as I am able to.
I am more and more in the flow of love.
I am allowing that love to flow through me to others.
I am a very loving and gracious person.
I am an interesting person because I am interested in life and growing into my highest potential.
I am fun to be around and easy to talk to.
I am a great and non judgmental listener. – - -

You can see how one line leads you to the next. I love this exercise because it brings me into a state of abundance, gratefulness and fullness within myself. And that fullness is a wonderful place to come from into any kind of relationship.

Uranus Saturn Opposition
And then there is that Saturn at 24 degrees Virgo again in opposition to Uranus at 24 degrees Pisces. This is the second of 5 oppositions between these two planets.  The first one was in November during the presidential election and definitely was good for some changes.

Saturn represents the ruling forces like the government, all organizational structures, the economy, forms, rules and regulations. Where ever we might have Saturn in our chart that will be an area where we will feel challenged by anxiety and a blockage in the energy flow. By confronting our fears with clarity we are raising our consciousness and are able to find a new form for the energy to flow.

For example if you have Saturn in the second House, you will feel easily challenged or anxious around your material possessions and money. By paying attention and caution around your connection with the physical realm you will learn to master your finances and find a comfortable place within your means down the road.

On the other hand Uranus represents freedom, interruption of continuity, change, originality, breaking free from the establishment and the status quo.  These two planets have very different motivations but are intricately woven together in an eternal dance of building structures and then tearing them down for new and better ones. This duo is the motor of evolution and forms the law of impermanence.

Understanding the eternal dance between the two might help you to relax into what is going on in our world right now, not just in our country. And we might find a better place of adjusting to what is and faith that something better will grow out of it.

Our western societies have been primarily driven by greed and power which has lead to these obscure money making vehicles in the financial and real estate markets which have been crashing our economy. I am glad for a Uranus to shake things up not allowing that to continue. And I am holding an Aquarian vision for a better world based on the experience of oneness. We are living in an amazing time and many prophesies have been pointing towards 2012 as the culmination of a higher state of consciousness emerging for humankind.

Each one of us has a contribution to give by managing our own personal fears and anxieties and thus feeding the global level of consciousness.
By shedding light onto our fears– FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL—we can then purposeful turn our attention towards our goals and dreams.

Or as Abraham Hicks puts it –In order to effect true positive change in your experience, you must disregard how things are – as well as how others are seeing you – and give more of your attention to the way you prefer things to be. With practice, you will change you point of attraction and will experience a substantial change in your life experience.–

Herkimer Diamond is the Perfect Stone for Balance
The Herkimer Diamond is natural double terminated crystal quartz found in New York. The stone is so clear, brilliant and sparkling in all its natural facets it is easy to fall in love with it. And it has many wonderful healing and aligning properties which give him a special place in the apothecary of gems.

–This stone also balances the right and left hemispheres of the brain, the creative and logical, the female and the male sides in us. Most of us tend toward one side or the other. The Herkimer Diamond balances us out in the middle between the two. The creative mind and the logical and scientific mind are enhanced by each others qualities: the creative mind benefits from greater focus and logic and the scientific mind draws on more creative and intuitive resources. The two hemispheres join forces, resulting in inventions and discoveries beyond the known.
The Herkimer Diamond’s brilliancy stimulates our inspiration and connection to higher truth and wisdom. Clarity of thought and a peaceful mind are a matter of balance. – (taken from my book Jewelry and Gems for Self-Discovery: Choosing Gemstones that Delight the Eyes & Strengthen the Soul)

You can use the stone for meditation by placing it onto your third eye or by wearing it in a little pendant over your heart where it has specifically balancing qualities between the three upper and three lower chakras, stabilizing the aura.
