Jupiter & Spirituality

Jupiter is perhaps the most important planet in Vedic astrology as far as spirituality is concerned. It's most popular name itself is Devguru (teacher of the gods). That itself tells us that it is a very auspicious planet that bestows divine knowledge or spiritual development when well placed in a chart. Not only that, it can also bestow very good fortune in terms of wealth, status and high position in society as it is the karak for wealth, ambition and extraordinary success. Let us try to understand Jupiter by first looking at its various names. It is called 'jeeva' (the one that lives), Brihaspati (brihas = expansion and pati = lord), and Guru (remover of darkness of ignorance). Why is it called the 'jeeva'? It is because a person is nothing but a bundle of consciousness wrapped inside a body. It is the consciousness that lives inside the body and the person is nothing but the conscious awareness that one has of life. Jupiter is the factor that governs the

saturn &sun

other day some one asked me as per mythological story in Astrology why SUN [surya] hates Saturn[shani] even though he suppose to be his own son In astrology, Sun represents the soul and Saturn represents fate. Soul's deepest desire is to know itself which is called Self-realization, but Saturn prevents it by making the embodied soul first repay it's karmik debt by taking birth on the earthy plane.Saturn clearly says you need to pay for the act you hav e done and there is no escape from it so Everything that is fated to happen in life is represented by Saturn as he is like the Chief Justice for incarnated souls. Without serving the sentence meted out to it by Saturn, an incarnated soul (Sun) cannot become liberated. This is the main reason why they are treated as enemies. In mythology Saturn is supposed to be born by the union of Sun with Chhaya (shadow, represented by the Rahu-Ketu axis in Vedic Astrology). Sun himself is so gloriously handsome while Saturn was dark, u

jupiter in 7th house

Some one was asking me that even though you call Jupiter (Guru)as the most benevolent planet amongst all the celestial bodies but why it is considered as badly placed in 7th house ?. . My answer is Jupiter Just because it is considered as benevolent planet, don’t expect it to give you all the things of house. It occupies ! Jupiter or for that matter any planet will give its full result if the house is favorable to its core strength . Let me explain . There is a term in astrology called called : Kaarko bhava naasha. Karoka bhaba naasha, mean if the planet holds the karakatwya of the house and sits in the house which is not aligning with the core strength of the planet then it hinders the expected results, For example 12th house is usually considered as spiritual house that means that house helps you to attain or go in the path of spiritual life Suppse you find Ketu in that house then definitely it will help you to go into the path of spiritual life ,in a way the house is in perf

few more information on Mars

few more information on Mars[Mangala] Mars is a fiery planet and denotes the resistance and vigor in astrology. Actually, any planet can have a bad effect when it is placed in a bad mode. The planet Mars denotes one’s willpower, courage, energy, the strength of body and power in life. A person having good Mars will fulfil his success throughout the life. When the planet Mars is weak, these characteristics can be in a troubled more. The person having weak Mars should identify this and may have to be trained to use his energy properly. What happens if your Mars [Mangal] is weak in your horoscope ? Mars is debilitated in the Sign of Cancer. Cancer is a watery sign and Mars is a fiery planet. In the water sign, Mars will be very uncomfortable. If your Mars is debilitated, then you may have a restless behaviour.

good Astrologer

what makes you a good Astrologer ? To be a good astrologer , one needs good Mercury and Jupiter in the personal chart . Jupiter is for wisdom , honesty , sincerity, intuition , which is a must for making a prediction and providing a possible solution . Mercury is required to prove the predictions using logic, facts , data , past events and finally use of proper language to convey the content to the seeker of prediction . Therefore , Jupiter provided the content while Merc ury provides the packing and marketing , media . Now there can be 3 kind of astrologers . First , whose Jupiter is quite strong but Mercury is not that much strong . This astrologer will make good predictions to only those who approach and seek his services in a humble way. Money is not the priority . These astrologers may be doing part time practice and would not go for full time commercial practice . [Jupiter gives you knowledge but lack of Mercury influence will restrict them to go all out on communica

prediction

Predictions are as accurate as the astrologer’s past record. It also depends on how you ask a question and how you use their advice. A great Zen saying goes, “Answers are only important when you ask the right question.” Few months back I was discussing regarding Astrology with few of my friends in a social gathering at that place there was this lady who started to express her views saying that astrology is crap and doesn't work and its waste of time to consult astrologers !! later on I Found out that She had a husband who was suffering from some chronic disorder. The astrologers she consulted had suggested remedies which didn't work out and he died ultimately that is why vengeance against Astrologers and astrological science !!. During that discussion , a few people opined that she is pretty right and it is sad that astrologers were fooling people. But then, my question (with due respect to her loss) at the issue is, even the doctors failed to save her husband despite th

3rd house [ 1 to 7 ,7to12]

he 3rd House the house associated with communication and siblings. Gives us our first indication of mental process. It is on the basis of awareness of relationship that 'mind' develops. The first stage of development is The Self, represented by the first house. This phase of development is purely about self awareness! The second house represents the stage of development which places values into the focus. What do we like, what don't we like. We learn about our gifts and talents we gain the ability to accumulate things desired and needed here in this 2nd house. The third stage of development represented by the third house is where we begin to identify the outer self, means to communicate Conscious objectivity is the foundation of intelligence, and it is rooted in duality and contrast. As the self consciously faces the world and other selves, the instinctual feeling of wholeness of being characterizing organic process is superseded by an increasing feeling of 'di
