2019 is shaping out to be the year for Libra (Tula) and Cancer (Kataka) Moon Rasis

Vedic astrology uses dasas and transits to determine good and bad periods in a person’s life. In the dasa system we look at grahas at three levels – maha dasa, antar dasa, and pratyantar dasa. Among these, the graha running the maha dasa is the most important. The dasa analysis is done from the individual’s lagna or ascendant. In transits we mainly look at the transits of Saturn, Rahu/Ketu, and Jupiter. Transit analysis is done from the Moon sign.

To create a mathematical model, we can give the following weights to each of these grahas

30% – maha dasa graha

20% – antar dasa graha

10% – pratyantar dasa graha

Saturn transit – 10%

Jupiter transit – 10%

Rahu/Ketu transit – 10%

Transits of the other grahas or transit of the maha dasa graha – 10%

So, the transits can account for 30 – 40% of the influence on a person.

In 2018, people with Kumbha rasi benefited the most from the transits getting the full 30% benefit from Saturn, Jupiter, and Rahu/Ketu transits. If their maha dasa lord and antar dasa lord where also strong, they would have had a spectacular year.

Jupiter will transit on Oct 11th 2018 from Libra to Scorpio. Rahu/Ketu will transit on Mar 7th 2019. Let us look at the rasis that benefit the most from these transits.

Graha Good Houses Neutral Houses Bad Houses
Jupiter 2,5,7,9,11 1,4,10 3,6,8,12
Saturn 3,6,11 5,7,9,10 1,2,4,8,12
Rahu/Ketu 3,6,10,11 1,4,7 2,5,8,9,12
Oct 11 2018 to Mar 7 2019 Mar 8 2019 to Nov 4th 2019
Rasi Jupiter Transit Rahu Transit Ketu Transit Saturn Transit Overall Rasi Jupiter Transit Rahu Transit Ketu Transit Saturn Transit Overall
Aries -5% Aries -5%
Taurus 5% Taurus -10%
Gemini -20% Gemini -10%
Cancer 20% Cancer 20%
Leo 0% Leo 0%
Virgo -20% Virgo -15%
Libra 25% Libra 20%
Scorpio -10% Scorpio -20%
Sagittarius -30% Sagittarius -20%
Capricorn 0% Capricorn 0%
Aquarius 10% Aquarius 15%
Pisces 10% Pisces 15%

Total is calculated giving +10% for Saturn and Jupiter in “green”, -10% for Saturn and Jupiter in “red”, +5% for Rahu/Ketu in “green”, -5% for Rahu/Ketu in “red”, and 0% for cells in “grey”.

Clearly, Cancer and Libra Moon signs benefit the most. It would be tough year for Sagittarius Moon signs.
