Due to the mysterious string playing of the heavehly bodies, causes Imbalance to a person~ mind and fate. the fear psychosis of future adversity urges him or her to consult or study astrology. In tills regard, 1 have confidently shown the correct path and warns people of lllelr adverse periods of life tlvough astrologically defining the behaviour of planets. The interpretation of a natal horoscope is an art, that requires considerable skill. To interpret that horoscope, as it moves and unfolds lllrough time, calls for even more skill. This is why a good book that rakes up the subject of astrological timing Is so valuable to all of us. The main problem In modee radical Moon. But Moon transit in B"' house gives very bad resultsand its transit in 9~ and 12~ House ts also not good.

Apprehension of sldCcupied at the moment of a person~ birth. What this means is that the planet has completed a whole circuit of the sky. and signifies that a new ()'de in the person's life is beginning. The most significant retums are 111ose of the outer planets Jupiter and Saturn. The Jupiter return occurs approximately every 12 years and heralds a new phase of growth and development The Saturn return occurs approximately e~ry 30 years, and heralds a new phase in the aging process when new realities and responsibil~ies must be faced.

P1 edcttve astrologyAstrological transits are a part of whet Is usually called predictive JJstrology, the dalm of astrology to predict or forecast future trends and developments. ~lost astrologers nowadays regard the term 'prediction' as something of a misnomer, as modern astrology does not claim to directly predict future events as such. Instead It Is claimed that an astrological pattern with regard to the future can correspond with any one ol a variety of possibilities. What Is In fact foretold Is the trend of circumstances and the nature of the Individual's reaction to the situation.

What is a House ?According to older Hindu texts, the words signs and houses fall on each otller. but the count of the signs is always made from Aries which is llle first sign. If we say a planet is in tile first sign. ~ means til at he is in Aries. If we say, it is in the fifth sign, it will be in Leo. l f we say, it is in the twelftll sign. it will be in Pisces because Pisces is the last and the twelfth sign. We must remember that when referring to a sign we always count Aries as the first and then proceed in the regular order of the signs. But a house begins from the ascendant. We must first know which is the sign ascending at the particular moment at a particular place. The Eartll is globular. It is like a globe wah the sky all around. There is no part of tile sky which is not to the east of any locality of the Earth. we can explain tllis furtller by giving a practical example. The Sun always appears to be somewhere on the ecliptic. In fact, he is not on the ecliptic; it is tile Earth which is on the ecliptic and as viewed from the Earth, the Sun appears to be In line with some place on the ecliptic. Now this Sun at any time appears in the east. in some part or tile other of the Earth. So we may state that as the zodiac is a circular ring in the skies, though in fact It Is elliptic, going all round, some part of the ring, I.e., the zodiac Is om the eastern horizon somewhere. Now suppose til at at a partlc.-ar time. tile sign Leo Is rising at the ea.stern horizon. Then t.eo will constitute the lirst house, Virgo the second house, Ubra tile third house, Scorpio tile fourth house. Sagittarius the fifth house. Capricorn tile sl>h house. Aquarius the seventh house. Pisces llle eighth house. Aries the ninth house. Taurus the tentll house. Gemini llle Eleventh house and cancer the twelfth house. Now suppose tllat the Sun Is In Aquarius. So we say the Sun Is In the seventh house or setting i n the western horizon.

If suppose Scorpio was rising at New Delhi . Then Scorpio will be the first house, Sagittarius the second house. Capricorn the third house and so on: and the Sun being in Aquarius he will be in the fourth house.The following signs being In opposition at 180', to each other are called opposition signs: Aries is In oppo>alon to Libra and Libra to Aries Taurus Is In opposition to Scorpio and Scorpio to Taurus Gemini Is in opposition to Sagiuarlus and Sagittarius to Gemini cancer is in opposition to Capricorn and Capricorn to Cancer leo is in opposition to Aquarius and Aquarius in leo Virgo is in opposition to Pisces and Pisces to Virgo

So we must remember that the sign rising to the east at a particular lime depends upon the time. date. month. year and the longitude and l atitude or the plae thrown together into the running water of a river. Consequently all llle ill effects would be warded off.mother~

But the reaction may be also rejection by the common, but low and acceptance from an opulent minority, such as us here. we are an opulent minority in the world (Rich in knowledge) seen often as DEMONS in our coW> tries, depending on the place. So these days in the West Rahu rules over astrology very much so. The fact that I have Rahu i n the 5th and the 5th lord In the second directly connects foreign Ideas and creativity that is unusual in my head (Rahu in the 5th) willl my mouth (the 2nd) and hence it is supportive of preaching Hinduism in America and As!tology etc. The house where Rahu tenets becomes foreign and suffers llle stigma "'being unwelcome in it's environment very often.

astrology to recognize and acknowledge that all facets of the cosmic framework, whether aspects. signs or planets. are inherently positive in their essential natures. and are necessary to the who listie functioning of llle solar system. and its microcos,.,.;c counterpart. the human psyche. In other words. nothing In the astrological vocabulary Is inherently good or bad. healthy or unhealthy. Only people can be evaluated as such. and lllen there is always the potential for change and transformation into states of health and loving equilibrium.

The Birth Chart as an Organic WholeThe entire birth chart Is Internally cohesive, and operates as an organic whollstic interrelationship of patterns. The chart itself is a representative of the body of the personal psyche. with the planets symbolizing lndMdual psychic organs. For Instance, Men:ury Is d1e psyche~ organ of com,.,nicatlon and cognition; Neptune Is the organ of sleep, dreams, imagination and the subconscious; the Moon is the organ of emotional nourishmen~ wellbeing and security, and so on. All these psychic organs are Interconnected and need to operate eHkiently In order for an Individual to be an optimally healthy. f\JIIy functional being. No single. abstract astrological principle. such as an aspect or planetary position, can indicate the presence or absence of the psychic health, or the success or failure (which are such completely relative terms to begin with) of any given person. In other words. the birth chart ltseH cannot tell us the degree of functionality of the person ~ represents. Neither can the birth chart alone provide more than the mMt superficial information about the person It represents. The chart must always be understood In connection with the spec~lc Individual for whOm It has been calculated. and always w ~hln the context of the nearly endless psycho-social variables in that person's life. The concept of the unaspected planet is impossible to reconcile with the wholistic view of the chart as an organic aggregate.

Effects of a Saturn TransitSaturn's purpose by transit is to pressure us to ftX what is broken, to attend to what we've long neglected, to restore order to whatever has become chaotic or outol-control, and to reclaim what Is Intrinsically valuable to our core development It also Insists we lei go of anything or anybody that unduly weighs us down or thwarts our ongoing growlll.

Saturn offers us the chance to know when and why things we've outgrown must come to an end. We best mature by recogniling those specific relationships and conditions in our life that have become unworkable. To red\Jce further pain and frustration. we need to allow such matters to come to a well~defined dose. Saturn assures us that this can be done with a measure of level-headed resolve on our part, based upon a pragmatic assessment of the central Issues In question.

Patience Is always required here. while a stubborn rei\Jsal to allow for needed change Is to be avoided. The Saturn prlndple Is a fair and even-handed one (symbolized by its exaltation In Libra). 1 twill work with us no matter how deep In a self-created hole we find ourselves.
