sun in astrology

Sun is the most powerful Grah I don’t use the word planet as it is misleading for some people followed by power of Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Budh (Mercury), Mars and Saturn in descending order. Saturn and Budh are Shudra Grah and Mars though weaker than Budh is a kshatriya (warrior class) Grah.

Sun represents the father, government, political knowledge and Karka of 1st,5th and ninth house (in western astrology). Strong sun represents high rank in government and leadership jobs.

    It is your ego with which you unite with the world and yourself.  It is all about individualism and fight for the self (ruled by Aries) as opposed to group/team (ruled by Libra). therefore, sun is exalted in Aries and debilitated in Libra. planets in Leo also tend to behave with sun like aura. Strong sun makes a person king, gives warmth and charisma in nature. It gives perfectionist tendency, political values, strong morality and sense of dharma. Person excels in any field represented by Sun if Sun is located if in own or friendly sign while weak sun makes a person underachiever for that particular sign but boastful of whatever little achievement he makes.  


Sun and Leo represent fire by nature and Sun is very powerful in Leo, Aries and Sagittarius and also friendly with Mars, Jupiter and moon.     

Sun is ruler of eyes, spinal cord, wheat, jaggery, pink color, ruby, east direction, copper and astrology a phrase from Surya chalisa ‘navalkishore jyotishi dharien tumhara dhayan '. sun represents the 'I' in you. it represents your father and relation with him, your respect at work place and your leadership ability.It represents your soul and longevity, celebrity status and popularity in gatherings.

it is pitta karaka and represents ailments of excess fire, pitta dosha. Its rashi or zodiac sign is Leo and to appease a malefic sun donation of things it rules as above shall be considered.

Venus in Astrology: Beauty, Luxury, Desire, and Balance

In Vedic astrology, Venus (Shukra) is the planet of beauty, luxury, comfort, relationships, and material pleasures. It governs everything that brings enjoyment in the physical world—art, romance, wealth, sensuality, refinement, and social harmony. A well-placed Venus grants charm, attraction, comforts, and prosperity, while an afflicted Venus can reduce one’s enjoyment of marriage, pleasures, and worldly happiness.

---

The Dual Nature of Venus: Taurus and Libra

Venus rules two rashis:

1. Taurus (Earth Sign)

Here, Venus governs:

• material wealth

• possessions

• luxury

• comfort

• stability

All earth signs deal with material reality, but in Virgo, Venus becomes debilitated and loses its natural charm due to excessive desire and over-analysis. This gives it a Rahu-like obsessive quality toward material pursuit.

2. Libra (Air Sign)

In Libra, Venus rules:

• negotiations

• contracts

• justice

• balance

• relationships

• diplomacy

Libra is Venus’s mool trikona, making it a natural governor of fairness and harmony. In matters of society, law, and agreements, Venus becomes a moderating, stabilizing force.

---

Venus in Friendly and Unfriendly Signs

Friendly Elements: Air and Earth

Venus functions best in:

Air signs:

• Gemini

• Libra

• Aquarius

Here, Venus expresses social charm, communication, and intellectual balance.

Earth signs:

• Taurus

• Capricorn

In these signs, Venus grounds itself in wealth, stability, material comforts, and practical achievements.

Debilitation in Virgo

In Virgo, Venus becomes debilitated due to:

• excessive desire

• over-analysis

• perfectionism

• insecurity

This can lead to cheating, dissatisfaction, restlessness, or imbalance in relationships and material pursuits.

---

Venus in Fire and Water Signs

Generally, Venus is not very comfortable in fire or water signs, because:

• Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) seek spiritual purpose, action, and ego expression, which clashes with Venus’s desire for worldly pleasure.

• Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) focus on emotions and intuition rather than sensual enjoyment — except in Pisces.

Exaltation in Pisces

Venus becomes exalted in Pisces because desires here take a spiritual and higher form. Fulfillment comes through:

• knowledge

• compassion

• divine love

• inner understanding

As the Bhagavad Gita says, desires (rajo guna) ultimately lead to sorrow when sought only through material means. Pisces lifts Venus above this cycle, giving it a mature, complete sense of fulfillment.

---

Friends and Enemies of Venus

Friends of Venus

• Mercury (Budh)

• Saturn (Shani)

• Rahu

These planets support Venus’s material, social, and worldly nature.

Enemies of Venus

• Sun

• Moon

• Mars

• Jupiter

• Ketu

These energies often conflict with Venus because they focus on morality, intuition, truth, renunciation, or fiery action—areas not aligned with Venus’s worldly desires.

---

Mars and Venus: A Special Relationship

Mars is generally neutral to Venus.
Mars rules physical strength, passion, and action, and often represents the fulfillment of physical desires (including sexual satisfaction) which Venus seeks.

However, fire signs ruled by Mars deal more with:

• soul

• purpose

• courage

• the other world

Whereas Venus deals with:

• comfort

• pleasure

• beauty

• satisfaction in this world

Thus, the two planets work together in desire but differ in their deeper motivations.

---

Conclusion

Venus in astrology represents the pleasures of life, from beauty and luxury to relationships and material wealth. Its expression changes significantly depending on the sign, element, and planetary associations. When strong and well-placed, Venus brings harmony, prosperity, and enjoyment. When afflicted, it reduces worldly comforts and creates dissatisfaction in relationships.

BUDH IN ASTROLOGY

BUDH IS TRICKSTER IN ASTROLOGY . IT CAN BE CALLED BY MANY NAMES BUDH THE MUNDANE, BUDH THE INTELLECT, BUDH THE COMMUNICATOR, BUDH THE ANALYSTS ETC. BUDH DASHA IS MOST DIFFICULT TO MANAGE BECAUSE BUDH IS COMBUST SEVERAL TIMES IN AN YEAR DUE TO PROXIMITY WITH SUN AND IS RETROGRADE THREE TIMES A YEAR . MORE OVER IF TRANSIT ASTROLOGY IS TO BE CONSIDERED IT GIVES NEGATIVE RESULT IN ALMOST EVERY ALTERNATE SIGN. SO EACH TIME IT DOES SO IT HITS YOUR INTELLECT, YOUR POWER OF COMMUNICATION AND YOUR DAILY ROUTINE . BUDH IS A PLANET OF DAILY ROUTINE AND MUNDANE WORK , IT GOVERNS ALL THE PAPER WORK WE DO , OUR CALCULATING ABILITY , OUR ANALYTIC ABILITY . IT ALSO IS THE KARKA OF  THE TENTH HOUSE OF CAREER AND SO IN   SHORT IT RULES ON OUR DAY TO DAY INTERACTION WITH THE WORLD. IF BUDH IS BAD IN THE CHART YOU WILL NOT FOLLOW A ROUTINE DISCIPLINED LIFE, THERE WILL BE PROBLEMS WITH YOUR DOCUMENTS, YOUR COMMUNICATION WILL NOT BE PROPER AND YOU MAY SUFFER FROM SOME CHRONIC DISEASE LIKE CONSTIPATION, B.P, HEADACHE (DAILY REPEATING DISEASE)

BUDH REMAINS CLOSE TO THE SUN AND IS CONSIDERED COMBUST WITHIN 12 DEGREES OF SUN IT REMAINS ONE RASHI AHEAD OR ONE RASHI BEHIND SUN AND TAKES ALMOST AN YEAR TO COMPLETE ITS 360 DEGREE MOTION AROUND SUN .IT CROSSES A RASHI ALMOST 3/4 OF A MONTH SOMETIMES MOVING AHEAD AND SOMETIMES BEHIND SUN . AS CLEARLY SEEN ITS BEHAVIOUR CHANGES RANDOMLY LIKE ITS MOTION THAT IS WHY IT ITS CALLED A TRICKSTER BECAUSE IN CAUSES SUDDEN UNPREDICTABLE CHANGES IN LIFE. THUS TOSSING THE LIFE OF PEOPLE LIKE A GAME OF DICE

IT GOVERNS TWO SIGN AIR(GEMINI) AND OTHER VIRGO(EARTH) . THEREFORE BUDH IS CONSIDERED GOOD IN GEMINI, LIBRA, AQUARIUS AND HERE FOR SALESMAN, TRADERS, SPOKESMAN , MEDIA PRESENTER, EVENT HOST ETC . HERE IT LENDS IT COMMUNICATIVE ABILITY TO A PERSON , IN EARTH SIGN VIRGO, CAPRICORN, TAURUS IT LENDS ITS ANALYTIC ABILITY AND IS GOOD FOR SCIENTISTS, MATHEMATICIANS, FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING ETC. BUT IN WATER AND FIRE SIGNS IT NOT THAT GOOD. IN WATER SIGNS IT LENDS INTEREST IN MUSIC, DANCE AND DRAMA, IN FIRE IN MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS, PREACHERS, POLITICIANS ETC BUT THE PERSON DOESNT FEEL COMFORTABLE EVEN FOR A MOMENTS.BUDH A PLANET OF YOUTH ESPECIALLY STUDENTS.

SO AS CAN BE SEEN BUDH CAN GIVE LINGUISTIC DISABILITY AND  LEARNING DISABILITY AND DISEASES LIKE DUMBNESS, FAINTING, EPILIPSY AND NERVOUS BREAKDOWN

AUSPICIOUS COLOUR FOR BUDH IS GREEN AND DAY IS WEDNESDAY

FOR AFFLICTED BUDH CAN BE APPEASED BY WEARING A COPPER RING, DISTRIBUTING GREEN CLOTHES TO SMALL GIRLS, HELPING STUDENTS , DISTRIBUTING MEDICINES, DISTRIBUTING MILK AND RICE IN TEMPLE TO YOUNG SCHOLARS,  ETC.

Sidereal vs Tropical System — Why the Relative Variation of Motion of All Planets Matters

The debate between the Sidereal (Vedic) and Tropical (Western) zodiac systems often focuses only on the precession of the Earth. But astrology is a multi-planet system. Every planet moves, rotates, and shifts in its orbit. So why should only Earth's motion redefine the zodiac, while the motions of all other planets are ignored?

To understand this, we need to introduce a key idea:

Astrology works on relativity — not on isolated motion.

Let’s explore how the relative variation of all planetary motions influences why the Sidereal system remains the most stable and astronomically consistent framework.

---

What the Two Systems Measure

1. Sidereal Zodiac (Vedic)

• Based on fixed stars (constellations).

• Zodiac signs stay tied to actual stellar groups.

• Uses a non-moving reference frame.

2. Tropical Zodiac (Western)

• Based on Earth’s vernal equinox.

• Signs shift due to Earth’s axial precession.

• Currently shows a 23–24° drift from actual constellations.

In the tropical system, the zodiac is not aligned to the stars but to Earth's seasonal orientation.

---

The Missing Principle: Relativity of Planetary Motion

Modern astronomy—and ancient seer wisdom both—agree on one fact:

Every planet has its own variation in motion.

Each planet has:

• Axial tilt

• Orbital eccentricity

• Precession

• Nutation

• Variable speed around the Sun

So if Earth’s precession is used to shift the zodiac by 23°, we must ask:

Why don’t we also modify the zodiac based on the motion variations of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, or Venus?

If only one planet’s wobble is considered, the system becomes Earth-centric, not universal.

But astrology is a heliocentric–geocentric hybrid, where all planets influence Earth relatively, not absolutely.

---

Why Sidereal Handles Relativity Better

1. Fixed Stars Provide a Universal Reference

The Sidereal zodiac ties all planetary measurements to a stable background — the constellations.
Even if every planet shifts slightly:

• The net effect cancels out

• The reference frame remains constant

• The zodiac does not drift artificially

This is true relativity:
planetary motions measured against a fixed cosmic grid.

2. Tropical System Applies Relativity Only to Earth

The Tropical zodiac shifts backward at 1° every 71–72 years only because Earth wobbles.
But:

• Saturn also wobbles

• Venus rotates backward

• Mars has huge eccentricity

• Jupiter has axial tilts

• All planets precess differently

If we applied Tropical logic to every planet, the zodiac would constantly distort in multiple directions.

Thus, the tropical framework is planetarily incomplete.

---

A Practical Example: Saturn

According to Sidereal astronomy:

• Saturn is in Libra

According to Tropical:

• Saturn is in Scorpio

Which one reflects real-world events?

Saturn in Libra Sidereal Matches Events Like:

• Judicial reforms

• Public unrest

• Rise in crime, especially sexual crimes (Saturn–Rahu in Libra)

• Economic inflation

• Social restructuring

These align precisely with the Vedic (Sidereal) position, not the Western one.

Why?

Because the Sidereal zodiac doesn't drift artificially due to Earth's precession.

---

Why Not Shift Calendar Months Instead?

One theoretical fix could be:

• Start January on 15 December

• Shift all months backward

• Realign earthly seasons with true stellar positions

After a few centuries, Sidereal and Tropical would match.

But this would cause massive global chaos in how we track civil time, agriculture, finance, festivals, etc.

Thus it’s better to:

Keep the zodiac fixed (Sidereal)

and

Allow Earth’s precession to be just one minor relative motion among many.

That preserves astronomical reality and avoids unnecessary confusion.

---

Conclusion: Relativity Favors the Sidereal System

The relative motion of all planets matters, not just Earth's.
When we use the sidereal zodiac:

• We rely on the fixed cosmic grid

• Planetary variations cancel each other

• Predictions become more accurate

• Real-world events correlate correctly

This is why I believe the Sidereal system is more precise, not out of cultural loyalty, but because:

It respects the relativity of the entire solar system, not just Earth.

I invite readers to share their thoughts, interpretations, and experiences with both systems.

Sidereal vs Tropical Astrology: Which One Truly Reflects Events on Earth?

The debate between the Sidereal (Vedic) and Tropical (Western) zodiac systems has been ongoing for centuries. Which system more accurately describes real-world events? The answer is not simple — both systems are valid within their own frameworks — but determining which one is more precise for earthly events requires deeper thought.

Below is a clear explanation for beginners, followed by my perspective on why the Sidereal system (Vedic) aligns better with real-life results.

---

What Is the Sidereal Zodiac?

The Sidereal system, used in Vedic astrology, divides the zodiac according to fixed star constellations.
It is based on:

• Actual, observable constellations

• A fixed celestial backdrop

• A stable stellar reference frame

In other words: the zodiac signs remain tied to the stars.

---

What Is the Tropical Zodiac?

The Tropical system, used in Western astrology, is based on the:

• Vernal equinox

• Seasonal cycle

• Earth's axial tilt and precession

Because the Earth’s axis slowly wobbles (precession), the tropical zodiac drifts forward approximately 1 degree every 71–72 years, creating the current ~23° difference between the two systems.

---

Example of the Difference

• In Sidereal (Vedic): Saturn is currently in Libra

• In Tropical (Western): Saturn is placed in Scorpio

Similarly:

• Capricorn (Vedic): 14 Jan – 14 Feb

• Capricorn (Western): 22 Dec – 20 Jan

Thus, the Western zodiac appears to “move ahead” because it follows the equinox, not the stars.

---

Why Adjust Only Earth’s Precession?

This is the key question:

If every planet spins on its axis and undergoes its own orbital irregularities, why correct only Earth’s precession?

Logically:

• Every planet has axial tilt

• Every planet has orbital eccentricity

• Every planet experiences its own precessional variations

If we neutralize the collective effects of all planetary motions, the most stable reference is:

The fixed stars (Sidereal system)

This avoids unnecessary complications and maintains a universal, constant cosmic framework.

---

Why I Believe Sidereal Is More Accurate

Not because I’m Indian — but because Sidereal gives more accurate event predictions.

For example:

Saturn in Libra (Vedic) and Its Real-World Manifestations

• Changes in the Indian judicial system

• Increase in crime, especially sexual crimes (Saturn–Rahu in Libra)

• Rising inflation

• Pressure on the masses (Saturn–Rahu conjunction effects)

These real-life events match the Sidereal planetary positions, not the Tropical ones.

---

Should We Shift Calendar Months?

One theoretical solution is:

• Move January to start on 15 December

• Shift all months backward

• Align seasons with constellations

• Eventually unite Sidereal and Tropical systems

But this would create massive confusion in civil timekeeping.

Instead, it's simpler and more scientific to:

Keep the constellational zodiac fixed (Sidereal)

and

Avoid shifting zodiac signs based only on Earth’s precession

This maintains stability and avoids unnecessary public confusion.

---

Conclusion: An Open Discussion

For me, the Sidereal zodiac:

• Matches real events

• Uses fixed stars

• Avoids distortions caused by Earth-centric corrections

• Gives consistent predictive accuracy

But this remains an open topic.
I welcome your comments, thoughts, and interpretations on how you view the Sidereal vs Tropical debate.

DO ASTROLOGY NEEDS UP DATION ITS OPEN FORUM

ASTROLOGY WAS WRITTEN BY SAGES IN ANCIENT INDIA TO SERVE AS A GUIDE FOR SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT SO THEY CONSIDERED  5TH AND 9TH HOUSE TO BE NATURALLY BE KARKA OF JUPITER OR JUPITER BE THE KARKA OF  THE FIFTH AND NINTH HOUSE . BUT THAT WAS TRUE IN SATYUGA WHEN PEOPLE WERE MORE INTERESTED IN  SPIRITUAL GAINS RATHER THAN MATERIAL GAINS .THEREFORE THEY CONSIDERED ELEVENTH HOUSE MALEFIC AND ASSIGNED JUPITER THIS HOUSE I.E PLANET OF RIGHTFUL GAINS AS TAKING ADVANTAGE OR DUPING OTHERS WAS A SIN

SO WHEN I SAY THAT MALEFICS IN GOOD RASHI (FRIENDLY,OWN,EXALTED) IN 1ST ,5,9,11,7,4,10 ARE GOOD MOST WILL AGREE TO THE POINT THAT ITS OKAY UPTO 1,4,7 AND 10TH HOUSE BUT WHAT ABOUT 5TH,9TH AND ELEVENTH HOUSE THIS IS THE NATURAL ENTITY OF JUPITER AND SO ONLY BENEFICS  SHALL BE CONSIDERED GOOD IN THIS HOUSE

WELL THE SAGES CONSIDERED RAHU BAD TO THE POINT THAT ANY AUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY IN RAHU KAAL WAS FORBIDDEN BUT IT WAS SATYUGA THEN NOW IT IS KALIYUG AND TAMSIC FORCES WILL AT ALL POINTS DOMINATE THE SATIVIC FORCE SO AS IN WESTERN ASTROLOGY RAHU BECOMES A BENEFICS .IT PROVIDES MATERIAL GAINS BUT OF COURSE THROUGH WRONG DEEDS BUT IN KALIYUG AS TAMSIC FORCES ARE  DOMINANT PEOPLE LOOK AT THE END RESULT AND MATERIAL SUCCESS OF PERSON THAN WHAT HE DID TO ACHIEVE THAT. BE IT IN POLITICS, FILM INDUSTRY,JOB, BUSINEESS EVERYWHERE PEOPLE WANT SUCCESS AT ALL COST .SO IF JUPITER OR BENEFIC IS IN FIFTH, NINETH OR ELEVENTH YOU COULD BE UNDER SPIRITUAL PANGS AND LIKELY TO FEEL AT A LOSS JUPITER IN ELEVENTH IS LIKELY TO GIVE LOSSES DUE TO GENEROSITY THAN GAINS AS WE LIVE IN KALIYUG.

LET US ANALYSE EACH OF THE THREE MOST MALEFICS RAHU, SATURN AND KETU . YES     KETU IS MALEFIC FROM MATERIAL POINT AND LEAVE THE DISCUSSION TO OPEN FORUM

 SARTURN IN FIFTH AND ELEVENTH GIVE TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND GAIN THROUGH  TECHNICAL EDUCATION .IN NINTH IT GIVES RISE TO POWER OR BHAGYAUDAY THROUGH LOW CLASS/LABOUR/MASSES AND GIVEN THAT MOST COUNTRIES ARE DEMORACTIC IT IS BOON IN KALIYUG SPECIALLY IN INDIA

RAHU IN FIFTH GIVES ART OF MANIPULATION AND IN ELEVENTH GAINS THROUGH MANIPULATION. MANIPULATION TODAY IS CONSIDERED TACT OF LIFE AND PEOPLE PRAISE IT AS A SIGN OF CLEVERNESS. IT NINETH IT GIVES RISE TO POWER OR BHAGYUDAY THROUGH DONS OF UNDERWORLD OR DABANG AND GIVEN INDIA OR ABROAD UNDERWORLD,MILITIA AND SIMILAR GROUPS PLAY A DOMINANT ROLE IN SHAPING GOVERMENT

KETU IN FIFTH GIVES POWER TO FIND FAULT WITH KNOWLEDGE OF OTHERS. IN TODAY'S WORLD MORE THAN WHAT YOU KNOW MATTER HOW YOU CAN MAKE THE OTHER PERSON FEEL IGNORANT. IN ELEVENTH AGAIN IT GIVES THE POWER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IGNORANCE OF OTHER AND IN NINETH RISE POWER OR BHAGYUDAY DUE TO IGNORANCE OF PEOPLE. EVER SEEN A FILM -THE HERO IN JUNGLEE CAUGHT BY TRIBALS AND HE LIGHTS A LIGHTER ,TRIBALS NOT KNOWING WHAT THE LIGHTER SUDDENLY FALL ON FEET AND ACCEPT HIM AS KING AND SIMILAR TYPES.MOST OF YOU MUST BE WONDERING IF IT HAPPENS IN MODERN COUNTRIES  OF COURSE GATT, DUNKEL, FORIEGN INVESTMENT, NUCLEAR TREATY ITS EVERYWHERE . MOST OF YOU MIGHT REMEMBER A MINISTER IN INDIA WON ELECTION JUST BY PREACHING THAT NOW THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE POWER OUT FROM WATER. WHEN POWER WILL BE TAKEN OUT  THEN WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO DRINKING WATER WE ALL WILL BECOME WEAK LET US STOP HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATIONS AND HE EVEN WON THE ELECTION.

SATURN IN ASTROLOGY- ITS SIGNIFINANCE , EARTH AND AIR SIGN FRIENDLY SIGNS AND SIGNIFICATIONS

SATURN IS THE KARMIC PLANET .IT REPRESENTS PHYSICAL PLANE . IT IS ALL THAT WE ARE HERE TO DO. SATURN REPRESENTS OUR PATIENCE IN LIFE ,OUR TRIAL AND TRIBULATIONS AND HARDSHIPS IN LIFE.IT IS THE SLOWEST MOVING PLANET AND CHANGES SIGN AFTER TWO AND A HALF YEARS. IN TWO AND HALF YEARS IT TEACHES ALL ABOUT A PARTICULAR RASHI .IT IS A PLANET OF MATURITY AND PRACTICAL WISDOM . SATURN IS AIRY BY NATURE AND REPRESENTS MOTION OF LIFE . SO IT NATURALLY COMFORTABLE IN GEMINI, LIBRA AND AQUARIUS. AQUARIUS IS THE MOOLTRIKON OF SATURN AND LIBRA IS ITS SIGN OF EXALTATION. IN THESE SIGN IT GIVES SUCCESS BUT AFTER DUE HARDSHIP

THE OTHER SIGN OF SATURN IS CAPRICORN AN EARTH SIGN SO IN TAURUS, VIRGO AND CAPRICORN IT WELL BALANCED . HERE IT GIVES RIGIDITY , STRENGTH AND STRUCTURE. LARGE PROJECTS SUCCESS AND BIG HIERARCHICAL ROLES ARE GOVERNED BY SATURN IN THESE POSITIONS. SATURN DOESN'T GO WELL WITH FIRE AND WATER SIGNS BEING DEBILITATED IN ARIES. SO SATURN DOESN'T BELIEVE IN MOTIVATIONAL AND INTUITIVE VALUES .IT ALSO DOESN'T BELIEVE IN EMOTION COMFORTING BUT ONLY HARD WORK. SO A GOOD SATURN IN HOROSCOPE WILL GIVE YOU MONEY AND MATERIAL COMFORT IN GEMINI, LIBRA AND AQUARIUS AND TAURUS AND GOOD ROLE IN CORPORATE AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL HIERARCHY IN VIRGO AND CAPRICORN . IN REST OF THE RASHI'S IT TEACHES HARD LESSONS. IN WATER SIGN IT TEACHES EMOTIONAL TOLERANCE AND NOT TO BE VERY SOFT SO THAT OTHERS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT AND IN FIRE IT TEACHES LESSONS IN GROUP LEADERSHIP RATHER THAN INDIVIDUAL LEADERSHIP BUT THE LESSONS ARE HARD LEARNED.

SATURN IS GOOD IN 1,5,9,4,7,10TH HOUSES IN LAGNA CHART IF IT IS OWN OR FRIENDLY RASHIS AND 3,6, AND ELEVENTH HOUSE IN TRANSIT.

NEELAM IS THE AUSPICIOUS STONE FOR SATURN AND CAN BE WORN BY ASCENDANTS
OF CAPRICORN, AQUARIUS, LIBRA AND TAURUS AND AVOIDED REST OF THE SIGNS. IT IS NEUTRAL FOR VIRGO AND GEMINI IN FIFTH AND NINETH HOUSE AND IF THIS HOUSE IT CAN BE WORN IN MAHADASHA.

SATURN FORM SASHA YOGA A TYPE OF RAJA YOGA IN KENDRA IF IT IS IN OWN SIGN OR EXALTATION . THE PERSON IS COMMANDER OF LABOURS AND EARN LOT OF MONEY BY EXPLOITATION OF LABOURS BUT HE IS MATERIALLY HAPPY AND HAS MANY SERVANTS ANY RAJA YOGA FORMED BY SATURN DEPICTS POPULARITY, MONEY AND COMFORTS AT THE COST OF POOR AND LOW PEOPLE. SATURN REPRESENTS MASSES. THE MAN WITH SUCH YOGA WILL BE MEAN AND UNSCRUPULOUS. YET RISE TO HEIGHT IN LIFE. HE WILL BE VERY HARDWORKING  BUT OF LOOSE MORAL VALUES.

NOTE AUSPICIOUS SATURN GIVES RAJA YOGA THROUGH LOW CLASS/LABOUR/MASSES

SATURN GOVERNS METAL MINING ESPECIALLY IRON, COAL, BONES ,BLACK GRAM AND MOONG, MUSTARD OIL, PETROLEUM PRODUCTS, LABOUR INTENSIVE PROJECTS AND INDUSTRIES ,SATURDAY AND ORPHANAGES AND MISFORTUNES IN LIFE.

IN UPACHYA STHAN IT LOOSE MALEFIC RESULTS AND PROVIDE SUCCESS AFTER 35 YEARS OF AGE AND FOR REST IT BECOMES NEUTRAL . ANYWAY AFTER 35 YEARS SATURN LOOSE ITS EVIL INFLUENCE ON NATIVE.





   

RAHU'S AND KETU'S OWN SIGN AND FRIENDS IN ASTROLOGY

 




A LOT OF DEBATE IS THERE ON THE NATURE OF RAHU AND KETU AND WHAT SIGN THEY OCCUPY AND WHO ARE THERE FRIENDS AND ENEMY . KNOW THE PROBLEM IS NOT THAT QUIZZICAL. WE KNOW THAT KETU HAS THREE NAKSHATRAS ASHWANI IN ARIES , MAGHA IN LEO AND MOOLA IN SAGITTARIUS. AND SO KETU BASICALLY IS A FIRE PLANET AND THE FRIENDS NATURALLY ARE THE MARS , SUN AND JUPITER .

 ALSO IN THE SIMILAR WAY FOR RAHU IS AIRY THE FRIENDS ARE VENUS, MERCURY AND SATURN . MOON IS THE ONLY BITTER ENEMY OF BOTH RAHU AND KETU AND GIVES MAXIMUM NEGATIVE RESULTS(ALSO IN MYTHOLOGY CHANDRA WAS THE ONE TO DETECT AND POINT SWARBHANU (RAHU) FIRST SO IT IS NATURAL ENEMY ) APART FROM THAT AS RAHU AND KETU ARE OPPOSITE IN NATURE SO FRIENDS OF RAHU ARE NATURAL  ENEMIES OF KETU AND VICE VERSA


SO RAHU IS FRIENDLY    WITH BUDH , SHUKRA AND SATURN AND ENEMY OF SUN, MARS,   AND MOON BUT NEUTRAL TO JUPITER RAHU BORN IN VISHAKHA NAKSHATRA (BELONGING TO JUPITER)

AND KETU IS FRIENDLY WITH SUN , MARS, JUPITER AND ENEMY OF MOON, BUDH , SHUKRA AND SATURN  

ALSO RAHU KETU ARE MUTABLE IN NATURE CHAL KARKA AND CHIDA KARAKA

AS SEEN ABOVE KETU BELONG TO FIRE SIGN OF WHICH ONLY SAGITTARIUS IS MUTABLE SO SAGITTARIUS IS OWN RASHI OF KETU AND EXALTED IN ARIES.

SIMIRALY RAHU BELONGS TO MUTABLE SIGN OF GEMINI OWN HOUSE AND EXALTED IN AQUARIUS.

ALSO WE KNOWN FIRE AND AIR ARE BEST BALANCED IN SAGITTARIUS AND GEMINI THEREFORE THEY CAN WEAR EITHER OF GOMEDHA OR CAT EYE WHENEVER REQUIRED
ALSO AS RAHU IS  BORN IN VISHAKA NAKSHATRA (LORD JUPITER) IT DOESNT ADVERSELY AFFECT SAGITTARIUS AND SO IS WITH KETU FOR GEMINI

OTHER FIRE AND AIR SIGNS CAN WEAR ONE OR THEM  AND AQUARIUS SHOULD AVOID CAT'S EYE AND ARIES ASCENDANT SHOULD AVOID GOMEDHA . OTHER ASCENDANT SIGNS TAURUS,VIRGO,CAPRICORN,CANCER, PISCES AND SCORPIO SHOULD NOT WEAR GOMEDHA OR CAT'S EYE

LASTLY GOMEDHA AND CAT EYE CAN BEST BE WORN IF THEY ARE IN 1ST,5TH,9TH,4TH ,7TH, 9TH AND TENTH HOUSE. THEY ALSO BORN IN MAHADASHA IF KETU IS IN THIRD OR SIXTH HOUSE (CATS EYE) AND RAHU IN ELEVENTH HOUSE.

CONSIDER A CASE OF RAHU CONJUCTING BUDH AND SURYA IN VIRGO FOR A SAGITTARIUS ASCENDANT HERE SURYA IS WEAK IN EARTH SIGN AND SO IS RAHU BUT BUGH IS STRONG BUT AS BUDH IS COMBUST FIRE DESTROYING EARTH AND AIR(BUDH) THERE ARE PROBLEMS IN MARRIAGE AS BUDH IS PEEDIT. NOW WEARING GOMEDH WILL TRY TO INSTILL THE AIR (SEVENTH HOUSE OF MARRIAGE GEMINI AIR SIGN) QUALITY IN NATIVE AND  BECOMES A FACILITATOR FOR MARRIAGE IN BUDH DASHA.  

ALSO RAHU IS FRIENDLY WITH BUDH AND BUDH IS NOT COMFORTABLE IN FIRE (SIGNS LEO AND ARIES AND WITH SUN (WITHIN 12 DEGRESS) AND MARS ). IT IS BALANCED WITH SAGITTARIUS I.E IT COMPLIMENTS A LITTLE HEAT ONLY .SO HERE DEXTERITY IN COMMUNICATION IS REQUIRED TO ATTRACT PARTNER AND GOMEDHA WILL DO JUST THAT . IT WILL AMPLIFY COMMUNICATION AND HELP IN MARRIAGE AS WELL AS BUSINESS. AIR NATURALLY PROMOTES COMMUNICATIVE ABILITY OF BUDH AND RAHU     IS NEUTRAL TO SAGITTARIUS. THERE IS NO HARM WITH GOMEDHA HERE IT IS A POSITIVE PROMOTER.

AUSPICIOUS PLANETS AND STONES FOR SAGITTARIAN ASCENDANT

ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAGITTARIUS AS ASCENDANT , FIRE IS THE MAIN CONSTITUENT OF SUCH PEOPLE AND THEY HAVE PITTA TYPE CONSTITUTION . LET US SEE THE FAVOURABLE PLANETS AND STONES FOR SAGITTARIUS ASCENDANTS.  

JUPITER IS  LORD OF ASCENDANT AND SHALL BE WORN IF IN AUSPICIOUS SIGN OTHERWISE IT IS NEUTRAL DUE TO KENDRADHIPATI DOSHA . YELLOW SAPPHIRE CAN BE BORN BY SAGITTARIUS .

SATURN IS MALEFIC FOR SAGITTARIUS AND THEY SHOULD AVOID WEARING NEELAM 

VENUS IN AGAIN MALEFIC AND DIAMOND CANNOT BE WORN BY SAGITTARIUS

KETU BEING FRIENDLY TO SAGITTARIUS AND CAT'S EYE CAN WORN IN MAHADASHA IF IN 1,5,9,4,7,10 HOUSE


RAHU HAS SOME ENIMITY TO SAGITTARIUS AS IT BRINGS RESULTS BY FOLLOWING PATH NOT OF TASTE OF SAGITTARIUS THOUGH VISHAKHA (JUPITER) IS BIRTH NAKSHATRA OF RAHU  AND GOMEDH CAN WE CONSIDERED IN MAHADASHA OF RAHU AND IN CASE SPECIFIC CASE IN DASHA OF SATURN, VENUS AND BUDH AS STONES OF THESE PLANETS ARE MOSTLY NO FOR SAGITTARIUS  . BUT WEARING GOMEDH SHALL ONLY BE CONSIDERED IF IT IS IN 1,5,9,4,7,10 HOUSE .AND AS FOR IN MAHADASHA OF PLANETS LISTED ABOVE ONLY IF IT CONJUCTS THEM  


SO WE CAN CONCLUDE SAGITTARIUS CAN WEAR  CORAL, RUBY AND PUKHRAJ WITH EASE EXCEPT IF SOME STRONG NEGATIVE YOGA RESTRICTS THAT .AND CAN WEAR PEARL  AND CATS EYE   ONLY IN MAHADASHA WITH CONSULTATION .  REST STONES SHALL BE AVOIDED.

             

Was the Concept of Relativity Known Long Before Einstein, and Did Kepler Only Restate What Maharishi Bhrigu Already Knew?

The motions of planets have fascinated astronomers and astrologers for thousands of years. Modernscience credits Johannes Kepler with formulating the laws of planetary motion and Einstein with introducing the concept of relativity. But when we look deeper into ancient Vedic knowledge especially the work of Maharishi Bhrigu—a surprising fact emerges:

Much of what science discovered in the last few centuries was already observed, used, and recorded by the ancient sages.

Let us explore how Vedic astrology inherently contains the principles of variable planetary velocity, elliptical orbits, and relative motion, long before Kepler or Einstein.

---

Variable Planetary Speed in Astrology: Margi and Vakri Motion

Kepler’s first and second laws describe that:

• Planets do not move in perfect circles

• Their speed constantly changes

• They travel faster near the Sun and slower when farther away

But if we look at any modern ephemeris or traditional panchang, we observe the same truth:

Planets never move at a constant velocity.

• Some planets cover up to 2 degrees in a single day

• Sometimes they move only a few minutes of arc

• Their speed increases and decreases regularly

This exact behaviour has been documented in Vedic astrology for thousands of years.

Margi: When a planet appears to move faster

Vakri (retrograde): When a planet appears to move backward

Retrogression is not literal backward motion.
It is simply a relative effect due to the motion of Earth.

And this leads to a deeper question.

---

Was Relativity Known to Ancient Sages?

A retrograde planet appears to reverse direction only because Earth and that planet have changing velocities relative to each other.

This is the essence of Einstein’s relativity:

Motion cannot be defined absolutely.
It is always relative to an observer.

Ancient astrologers knew:

• Why planets appear to slow down

• Why they stop (stationary)

• Why they move backward (retrograde)

• Why they accelerate again

These were not mystical assumptions but observations built into the astrological mathematics of Bhrigu and Parashara.

So it is worth asking:

Did the ancient rishis understand the principles of relative motion long before Einstein formalized them?

The evidence suggests yes.

---

How Did Maharishi Bhrigu Chart Motion Without a Telescope?

This is one of the great unsolved mysteries.

• No telescopes

• No optical instruments

• No modern mathematics

Yet the ancient ephemerides match modern astronomical tables with astonishing accuracy.

How was this possible?

There are only three possibilities:

1. Advanced observational techniques now lost

The rishis may have had instruments whose knowledge disappeared with time.

2. A deeper scientific understanding of orbital mechanics

The accuracy of Bhrigu’s planetary tables suggests awareness of:

• Non-uniform orbital speed

• Relative motion

• Retrogression cycles

• Exact orbital periods

3. A scientific–intuitive tradition combining mathematics and direct perception

The sages may have reached conclusions through a combination of meditation, intuition, and rigorous empirical observation.

Whatever the path, the conclusion is clear:

The laws of planetary motion were known and used long before Kepler presented them to Europe.

---

The Misunderstood Word "Grah"

A major misunderstanding comes from the translation of the Sanskrit word “Grah”.

People assume it means “planet”, which critics use to attack astrology.
But Grah does not mean planet.

Grah = that which seizes, holds, or influences.

So:

• Sun is a Grah

• Rahu and Ketu (shadow nodes) are also Grah

• Grah refers to influence, not physical solidity

Thus, the term Navgrah simply means the nine influential celestial forces acting on life on Earth.

---

Earth as the Reference Plane

Astrology uses Earth as the reference point because:

• Events occur on Earth, not in space

• Observations are made from Earth

• Human experience is Earth-centered

Whether the Sun is moving or Earth is moving is irrelevant in astrology, because:

All motion is relative depending on the observer.

This is again the principle of relativity embedded in Vedic knowledge.

Thus, astrology is a geocentric observational science, not because it believes the Sun revolves around Earth, but because life on Earth is the reference frame.

---

Conclusion

• Kepler formalized what ancient astrologers already observed.

• Einstein’s relativity echoes the ancient understanding of relative motion seen in Vakri and Margi states.

• Maharishi Bhrigu’s charts accurately recorded variable planetary velocities long before modern astronomy existed.

• Grah means “influencing force,” not “planet,” removing a major misconception.

• Astrology is a study of planetary motion relative to Earth, exactly the same principle used in modern physics.

So the question remains open:

Did modern scientists rediscover principles that ancient sages already knew?

The parallels are too strong to ignore.
