Saturn

some one asked me 'As a person interested in astrologer which is your fav planet ; I answered It is Saturn.[Shani]
Now, most people would be surprised as Saturn is usually linked to miseries, darkness and hardship. But my choice of favourite planet is backed by some strong and logical reasons.
Back in school, most likely you had one teacher who was very strict. Almost everyone of us had one. You disliked him (or her) because he always wanted to teach you discipline. All his efforts were dedicated towards teaching the value of doing the right things. He strongly insisted on - If you have a choice between something which is tough but morally right and another thing which is easier but morally wrong, choose the former.
Whenever you did something good, he rewarded you well. On the other hand, if you did anything wrong (especially intentionally), you were punished hard. Whether reward or punishment - there was absolutely no bias. You often used to wonder - Why can’t he just be lenient and easy going like the other teachers? Why can’t he just reward for good work and ignore your acts of indiscipline?
But when you grew up, you realised he was right. May be a bit strict but he taught you the right things at the right time. He taught you the value of discipline, the sense of right and wrong. You are glad that you learnt these early on in life. If you hadn’t, life would have made you learn them forcefully at later stages and in a much tougher manner. Like they say - A teacher teaches first and then takes the exam but life takes the exam first and you learn as a result.
In Astrology, that strict teacher is Saturn. People often have to face the wrath of Saturn because they don’t follow the righteous path. If you do the right thing (good karma), it can reward you beyond imagination. Saturn rewards as per your effort and punishes mercilessly

ketu & Moksha

 Ketu is the karaka for moksha, simply because it is the only planet out of the 9 used in Vedic astrology which craves only one thing, which is the 'amritam' or the nectar of immortality.   Rahu and Ketu are the head and torso of the demon Swarbhanu whose head was cut by Lord Vishnu at the time of churning of the milky ocean. Before his head was cut, Swarbhanu was able to gulp a little of the nectar, but it could not reach the body. So, the nectar could not get assimilated in the system. Lord Vishnu threw the head (Rahu) towards the north and the rest of the body towards the south. Ever since that time, they are always circling the sky always being 180 degrees apart from each other. What does this myth represent? It suggests that for liberation or moksha to happen, one needs to drink the'amritam' like the devas or the gods were able to, at the time of the churning of the ocean, but Swarbhanu could not. The question is why did Lord Vishnu not allow the demon Swar...

Ashlesha Nakshatra

As its direct translation, “entwiner” suggests, Ashlesha is symbolized by a coiled snake and its presiding deity is Sesha Naga, the Divine Serpent on whom Vishnu lies down. As a snake freezes its pray with a fiery gaze, these people   can capture and rise above competitors. In addition to its fierce nature, Ashlesha is ruled by Mercury and lies entirely within the sign of Cancer, ruled by the Moon. This combination of planets illuminates one’s cleverness, sharpness and intuition: strategize how to present an innovative idea at a meeting; to   plot something against your opponents; it   is   advisable to   study mystic subjects like Kundalini Yoga etc. Anything that has to do with fire or snakes is recommended, and any rituals related to these have more potency for   Ashlesha people . These   people are   not     good at   business or finances. Ashlesha’s Special Power : "Visasleshana shakti" means the power to inflict poi...
