Pulippani Sloka 115 (Ju, Ve, Mo in 5th house)

Pulippani Sloka 115 talks about the combination of Jupiter, Venus, and Moon in the fifth house.

பாரப்பா இன்னமொன்று பகரக் கெளு
பரமகுரு பால்மதியும் வெள்ளி மூவர்
சிரப்பா ஜென்மனுக்கு அஞ்சில் தோன்ற
சிறப்பாக மேதினியில் நலமாய் வாழ்வான்
கூறப்ப குரு இருந்தல் புத்திர அற்பம்
கூளிர்ந்த மதி தானிருந்தால் பெண்ணதாகும்
வீரப்பா வெள்ளி நின்றால் யோகம் மெத்த
விளம்புவாய் புவியோர்க்கு உலகின் கண்ணே

Translation

If Jupiter, Moon, and Venus are together in the fifth house from the ascendant, the individual lives a comfortable and prosperous life.

Jupiter alone in the fifth house from the ascendant – possibility of children is poor.

Moon is alone in the fifth house from the ascendant – individual will have more daughters.

Venus is alone in the firth house from the ascendant – individual will enjoy all-round bliss.

Example of Pulippani Sloka 115

Steven Spielberg

Steven Spielberg
Pulippani Sloka 115

In Steven Spielberg‘s chart, Jupiter, Venus, and Moon are in the fifth house from the ascendant. The house is also strong because Venus is in its own house, providing strength to Jupiter and Moon.

Spielberg is one of the most commercially successful directors of all time. His films include Jaws, ET, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan, and many more.

His chart exemplifies this yoga very well. At first glance, his chart does not look very strong with the first house forming an Ava yoga. The first lord (Mercury) is in a negative house (sixth) influenced by Rahu and Ketu, and Sun and Mars, two more malefics, aspect the first house. In addition, there is a papa kartari yoga forming around the first house. This yoga, however, trumps the negative effect of the Ava yoga and helps him become very famous.

Pulippani Thaarai Yogam (Mo, Ve, 4th house)

Sloka 59

பாரப்பா பால்மதிக்கு நான்கில் வெள்ளி
பாங்குள்ள வெள்ளிக்கு நான்கில் இந்து
ஈரப்பா இவனுக்கு இவர்கள் நான்கில்
இடி போல குமுருமடா தாரை யோகம்
சீரப்பா சென்மனுக்கு சிவிகை நாடி
சிறப்பான வாகனமும் நிலமும் செம்போன்
கூறப்பா போகருட கடாக்ஷத்தாலே
குடிநாதன் பலம் அறிந்து கூறுவாயே

Conditions for Pulippani Thaarai Yogam

Pulippani Thaarai yogam forms with the Moon and Venus. There are three possible placements of these two grahas.

  • Venus is in the fourth house from the Moon or
  • Moon is in the fourth house from Venus or
  • Venus and Moon are together in the fourth house from the ascendant (lagna)

As always for a yogam to be strong, we want the participants to be strong. By this principle, Moon should be a waxing Moon with primary strength and Venus should also have primary strength.

In addition, lagnesh (lord of the lagna) should be strong or the lord of Venus and Moon should be strong.

Results of Pulippani Tharai Yogam

Moon and Venus signify material luxuries. Therefore, Pulippani Thaarai Yogam blesses the individual (with this yogam) with land, wealth, ornaments, vehicles, and other luxuries.

Example of Pulippani Tharai Yogam

Jawaharlal Nehru

Jawaharlal Nehru

In Jawaharlal Nehru‘s chart, Venus is in the fourth house from the Moon. Both have primary strength because they are both in their own signs. Also, Moon is waxing.

2023 Sani Transit for Cancer Moon Sign

2023 Sani Transit for Cancer Moon Sign

The 2023 Sani transit for Cancer Moon sign starts on January 17th, 2023. For Cancer moon sign, this implies Sani transits into Cancer’s eighth sign. The eight sign transit is referred to as Ashtama Sani. This is known to give hardships to individuals. The primary reason for this is the houses Sani aspects from the eighth house. Sani aspects third, seventh, and tenth houses. For Cancer moon sign, these would be the tenth (house of career), second (house of wealth and family), and fifth (house of children). All three are very important in one’s life. Obstacles to ones career, wealth, family, and children; all at the same time creates cause for worry.

Luckily, Sani is in its own sign, in fact its moolatrikona sign. Here Sani is at peace and has less desire to trouble others. Moreover, Sani is just one of the nine grahas. Therefore, in this post we will look at the effect of Sani in the eighth house while considering a number of other factors.

  • Transit of Jupiter – Jupiter is the most benefic of all grahas and has the power to mitigate the negative results of Sani.
  • Nakshatras Sani transits in – Sani transits through Mars and Rahu’s nakshatras in 2023. Positive transits of Mars and Rahu can help mitigate the negative effect of Sani.
  • Transit of Mars – relevant because Sani transit’s in Mars’ nakshatra. Mars is also the yogakaraka.
  • Transit of Rahu – relevant because Rahu is a slow moving graha and Sani transits in Rahu’s nakshatra.
  • Retrograde or direct direction of Sani – some astrologers believe retrograde motion would negate the effects. In this case, since forward motion brings negative results, retrograde motion could neutralize the negative results.

Sani transit details (2023)

Subperiod – Jan 17 to Mar 13 (56 days)

Overall very positive. Sani transits in Mars’ nakshatra. Jupiter (9th), Rahu (10th), and Mars’ (11th) transits are all favorable.

Subperiod – Mar 14 to Apr 20 (38 days)

Overall still positive. Sani’s transit in Rahu’s nakshatra is not favorable. However, Jupiter’s 9th house transit and Rahu’s 10th house transits are still positive.

Subperiod – Apr 21 to Jun 16 (57 days)

Overall negative. Sani’s transit in Rahu’s nakshatra is not favorable and you lose Jupiter’s support when it moves to the 10th house with Rahu. Rahu’s tenth house transit is still positive.

Subperiod – Jun 17 to Oct 14 (120 days)

Overall neutral. Sani’s nakshatra and Jupiter and Rahu’s transits have not changed. However, Sani is now retrograde. This should help neutralize the negative effects.

Subperiod – Oct 15 to Nov 3 (19 days)

More positive. Sani now transits in Mars’ nakshatra and is still retrograde. Mars, being the yogakaraka, helps bring up the positive score.

Subperiod – Nov 4 to Nov 22 (19 days)

Overall neutral. Sani in Mars’ nakshatra is positive; while Jupiter and Rahu’s transits are negative and there is no retrograde motion to neutralize. The period between Nov 16 to Nov 22 would be slightly better because Mars would be in its own sign in the fifth house.

Subperiod – Nov 23 to Dec 31 (39 days)

Overall very negative. This is the worst time of the Sani transit for Cancer in 2023. None of the factors help. Sani is in Rahu’s nakshatra. Jupiter and Rahu’s transits are not favorable, and Sani is not retrograde.

Conclusion

The 2023 Sani transit for Cancer moon sign is not going to be easy. The purpose of this detailed analysis is to point out that with the support of other factors, most of 2023 will be neutral or positive. The peak intensity would only be at the very end of the year going into 2024.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy Vedic Chart

Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Birth details used for this analysis – born on 25th January 1978 at 2 pm in Krivoj Rog, Ukraine. Below is Volodymyr Zelenskyy vedic chart.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy Vedic Chart

Lagna Vichara

Zelenskyy has a Taurus ascendant. This gives him the physical and mental strength to deal with adversities. He has a sharp intellect, is materialistic, and can be stubborn. The ascendant lord, Venus, is in the 9th house of luck with Sun, the lord of the 4th house. Venus is also aspected by debilitated Mars and a full Moon in its own house. Venus forms dharmakarmadhipathi yogas with Sun and Mars. However, Venus is also combust. Therefore, Venus gives mixed results for Zelenskyy. He runs Venus mahadasha from 1992 to 2012, covering his education and entertainment career.

Sun Mahadasha (2012 to 2018)

The Sun mahadasha from 2012 to 2018 is very good for Zelenskyy. This is because of a couple of reasons. The first, as mentioned before, is the interaction between Sun and Venus. While Venus loses strength because of its combust nature, Sun gains strength from Venus. The second reason is Venus and Saturn form a maha parivartana yoga between the 4th and 9th houses. This gives him Raja (King) yoga. Saturn, as the lord of the 9th and 10th houses, is the yoga karaka for a Taurus ascendant.

In the Sun period, Zelenskyy was successful as a lead actor, became famous as a President on TV in the series “servant of the people”, and registered a new political party in preparations for his run for President. Fittingly, Saturn represents the people and servants and Sun the King. He was able to get the masses to vote for him to become the next Predicent.

Moon Mahadasha (2018 to 2028)

We are a month into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Zelenskyy is running his Moon mahadasha. Moon is very strong in his natal (D1) chart. It is a full moon and is in its own house. This gives the Moon two primary strengths. As a result, Zelenskyy was elected President at the start of his Moon mahadasha. In addition, Moon is in the 3rd house of communications and writing. Zelenskyy uses social media and other forms of communications to push his agenda. On the negative side, Moon brings in the debilitated Mars, the planet of war’s, influence. In his D10, the chart for career, Moon is itself debilitiated, and is influenced by Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter.

Current subperiod Moon/Jupiter (May 2021 to Sep 2022)

Periods that bring the influence of the 6/8/12 houses are always challenging. Moon is conjunct Mars, the lord of the 12th house. Moon and Venus, the lord of the 6th, mutually aspect each other. Jupiter is the lord of the 8th house. Therefore, the Moon/Jupiter period brings the influence of all the bad houses.

At this very moment, from January 22nd, 2022 to April 13th 2022, Zelenskyy is under the influence of Moon/Jupiter/Venus. Venus being the first lord increases the significance of the moment.

Prediction

Zelenskyy moves into Moon/Jupiter/Sun on April 13th, 2022. Sun is very beneficial for him. At that same time we have a few very significant transits occuring. On April 12th, 2022 Rahu moves from Taurus to Aries. This is a transit (viewed from his Moon) from his 11th house to 10th house of career. On April 13th. 2022 Jupiter moves into Pisces, his 9th house of luck. Finally, On April 14th. 2022 his Sun moves to Aries, its sign of exaltation and his 10th house of career. These changes suggest an end to this conflict around Apil 13th, 2022. That is still 3 weeks away! I wish a speedier end to the current situation and a return to peace in Ukraine.

2022 is great for Scorpio and Cancer

2022 is great for Scorpio and Cancer

We analyze transits using the transits of the slow-moving grahas. These are Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. In 2022 all of these grahas have transits. I look at transits from the Moon and not the ascendant. 2022 is great for Scorpio and Cancer.

2022 Transits

Jupiter transits from Aquarius to Pisces on April 13th, 2022.

Rahu transits from Taurus to Aries on Apr 12th, 2022.

Ketu transits from Scorpio to Libra on Apr 12th, 2022.

Saturn transits from Capricorn to Aquarius on Apr 29th, 2022 and transits back to Capricorn on Jul 11th, 2022.

Therefore, we can break the year into two portions. The first is from January to April of 2022 and the second is from May to December of 2022. We will assume Saturn is in Capricorn the entire year because its transit into Aquarius is only for 2+ months.

Megan Markle’s Vedic Chart

Megan Markle

Let us look at Megan Markle’s vedic chart in this blog. Her birth details are – born on July 4th, 1981 at 4:46 am in Canoga Park, CA. Below is her vedic chart.

Megan Markle's vedic chart

Gemini Lagna

Megan Markle has a Gemini lagna. The symbol is twins, which represents a dual personality with dual interests in terms of career. Gemini ascendants are materialistic in nature and rely on their intelligence.

Lagna vichara

The lagna and the lagnesh (lord of the lagna) are very important in a chart. Yogas represent the opportunities one gets in life. The strength of the lagna determines whether the individual will bring the opportunities to fruition. Therefore, a strong lagna and lagnesh is very desirable in a chart. Megan Markle has Mercury in the ascendant. Mercury is in its own sign and has dig bala. Further, Mercury forms three strong yogas. Mercury forms Bhadra mahapurusha yoga, buddha-adhitya yoga, and Saraswati yoga. All these yogas indicate a very intelligent person. Therefore, Megan Markle, clearly has a strong lagna.

The lagna’s strength is weaker because of papa-kartari yoga formed by Rahu and Mars and an aspect from Saturn. However, the strength of the Bhadra mahapurusha yoga prevails.

Yoga vichara

In addition to the above yogas, Megan has the lord of the 9th and 10th houses together in the 4th house. This is a powerful Raja (kingly) yoga. The yoga forms in the 4th house of property, houses, and vehicles. Further, a strong Mercury rules the 4th house. All these make this yoga favorable for her. She literally lived in a palace. Saturn and Jupiter, however, don’t have a primary strength in the rasi chart.

Best Periods

For Megan Markle, her Mercury dasha is the best followed by the Sun’s maha dasha. Sun’s maha dasha is good because it activates the influence of Mercury being conjunct Mercury. Megan spends her first seven years in Mercury maha dasha. She runs Sun maha dasha from Oct 2015 to Oct 2021. Like the grahas predict, she meets Harry in Jun 2016, gets engaged in Nov 2017, marries Harry in May 2018, and becomes a Princess and part of the most famous royal family in the world! She also has her first son, Archie, in May 2019 and will have her second child before the Sun maha dasha ends. Sun’s maha dasha is the shortest, just a short 6 years. However, Megan’s strong lagna allows her to make the most of those six years.

Looking forward

In Oct 2021, Megan Markle’s Sun maha dasha ends. She moves into her Moon maha dasha. Her Moon is a mixed bag. Moon is in its own sign in her second house. However, her Moon is a New Moon, and Rahu and Ketu influence the Moon, without the beneficial influence of Jupiter. This foretells a lot of mental challenges for her. Moon is in her second house of family, indicating challenges in family life. The period from Mar 2023 to Sep 2024, when she runs Moon/Rahu, could be the worst.

The strong lagna, in Megan Markle’s vedic chart, will carry her through all the challenges life may throw at her.

Tiger Woods’ Accident

Tiger Woods was involved in a serious accident on Feb 23rd, 2021 at 7 am near Los Angeles, CA. Let us look at his astrological chart to see if the chart indicates this event – Tiger Woods’ accident.

Below is Tiger Woods’ birth chart. His birth details are – born on December 30th, 1975 at 22:50 in Long Beach, CA.

Significators of accidents

Mars and the sixth house signify accidents in a chart. Mars is the karaka for accidents. In Tiger Woods’ chart, he runs Mars > Rahu > Saturn when the accident happens as per the Vimshottari dasha system. Mars is the karaka for accidents. So, that makes sense. Saturn is the lord of the 6th house. So, that also makes sense. Rahu’s contribution is not immediately obvious. One could say that Mars, Rahu, and Saturn are all malefics influencing him at the time of the accident. While this is true, the more telling sign is that Rahu is in the 6th house from Mars.

When you evaluate the effects of a maha dasha, you can evaluate the chart by using the rasi in which the dasha lord is, as the ascendant. In this case, Mars is the maha dasha lord. Mars is placed in Taurus. So, you can use Taurus as the ascendant. For this ascendant, Venus is the 6th lord. Rahu is placed in the 6th house and acts like the 6th lord, Venus. Therefore, you see all three grahas – Mars, Rahu, and Saturn – indicating an accident. This shows a high degree of confluence, which can make it easier to predict that Tiger Woods will have an accident.

Transit chart

At the time of the accident, Mars and Rahu were in Taurus. If you look at the transits from Mars’ rasi because it is the maha dasha lord, then Mars and Rahu are in the first house of the body. This again indicates an accident to the body.

Six grahas in Capricorn – February 9-10, 2021

Many worry about the conjunction of six grahas in Capricorn on February 9th and 10th, 2021. The six grahas are Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn. There is comparison with a similar conjunction on Feburary 4th, 1962; when the cuban missile crisis started. Don’t worry. We will all be fine. The pattern in 1962 is very different from what we have in 2021.

The chart (Feb 10th, 2021)

six planets in Capricorn

The pattern has six grahas in Capricorn and has a kala-sarpa formation. Importantly, Mars, Rahu, and Ketu are not conjunct. Also, Saturn is happy in his own house and the Sun is not overly combusting any of the grahas. For worldwide catastrophic events to occur you need the influence of all the malefics. In this case, only Saturn is involved. Mars’ involvement is necessary for any wars. Mars is happy in its moolatrikona sign.

Chart of Feb 4th, 1962

The differences are obvious. The Feb 4th, 1962 chart is way more ominous. All the grahas are involved, including all the malefics – Saturn, Mars, Rahu, and Ketu. Also, Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter are within 3 degrees of the Sun. This makes them all combust. Therefore, the malefics are closely aligned and the benefics are powerless.

On February 7th, 1962, US embargo against Cuba came into effect. This was the Cuban Missile Crisis, which nearly started a nuclear war between the US and USSR. India and China went to war in Oct of the same year.

In conclusion, don’t worry about the conjunction of six grahas in Capricorn on the 9th and 10th of February, 2021. The key malefics are not involved and the benefics provide support because they are not combust.

Adaptability in Vedic astrology

Adaptability in vedic astrology

In Vedic astrology signs are of three types. Movable signs represent activity and movement. These signs seek change. Fixed signs represent steadiness and rigidity. These signs like the status quo. Finally, the dual signs represent a mix of the two qualities. Therefore, you can discern adaptability, in Vedic astrology, by the number of grahas in the movable, fixed, and dual signs.

Movable signs

Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn are movable signs. Movable signs can mean a number of things. First, they represent action and movement. Second, they represent change and reform. Lastly, they represent impatience and dissatisfaction.

Mahatma Gandhi‘s chart has the ascendant and seven grahas in movable signs. He was born in India, studied in London, spent 21 years in South Africa, before finally returning to India. Gandhi was a man of action. He motivated the masses to fight for independence by criss-crossing the nation on foot. He adopted non-violence to fight against the strongest empire in the world.

Mahatma Gandhi

Fixed signs

Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius are fixed signs. Fixed signs represent rigidity and steadfastness. These signs also represent a calm, steady, determined, and resolute personality.

Marie Curie has eight grahas in fixed signs. In fact, only the Sun and her ascendant are not in fixed signs. Marie Curie furthered her education at a time when women could not pursue higher education in Poland. She devoted her entire life to research and was the first woman to win a Nobel prize, the only woman to win the Nobel prize twice, and the only person to win the Nobel prize for two scientific fields.

Marie Curie

Dual signs

Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces are dual signs. Dual signs blend the characteristics of the movable and fixed signs. They are open to new ideas, but like to evaluate their options before making their decision.

Prince William and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, both have six grahas in dual signs. Prince William has his ascendant and six other grahas in dual signs. He has two more in fixed signs. His wife has six grahas in dual signs. She has her ascendant and the other three grahas in movable signs. This shows that she is more action-oriented than him. Dual nature is well suited for the future King and Queen of England. Their official role needs a blend of energy and steadfastness.

Margaret Thatcher Vedic Chart

Margaret Thatcher Vedic Chart

Margaret Thatcher, the first woman prime minister of UK, was born on October 13th, 1925 9:00 am, in Grantham, UK. Below is Margaret Thatcher Vedic Chart.

Lagna vichara

At first glance, we see a strong lagna. The ascendant sign is Libra. Saturn is in its sign of exaltation and Mercury has dig bala and vargottama strength. Saturn is the yoga karaka for Libra, being the lord of the 4th and 5th houses and forms Sasa mahapurusha yoga in her chart. Mercury is the lord of the 9th house. Saturn and Mercury are friends of the ascendant lord, Venus. Further, the ascendant is not affected by other malefics like Rahu, Ketu, or Mars. All these make for a very strong first house.

Saturn and Mercury also form a powerful raja yoga, dharma karmadhipati yoga. The first house governs one’s personality. The presence of Mercury and Saturn in the sign of Libra, the merchant, indicates an intelligent and hard-working person, with a focus on business and economics. A person with a strong lagna can utilize opportunities that come their way.

Kala Sarpa yoga

Margaret Thatcher has a classic kala sarpa yoga. All the grahas are within Rahu and Ketu. Her formation is classic because none of the grahas are even in the same sign of Rahu and Ketu. This yoga brings sudden rise in one’s life. Margaret Thatcher was the first woman MP in UK, the first woman leader of party, and first woman prime minister. Her rise to power is spectacular, not only because of her gender, but also because she did not come from a political dynasty. She was the daughter of a grocery store owner.

The kala sarpa yoga is, however, tempered because it is between Ketu and Rahu and a strong Saturn controls both nodes. Saturn is the rasi lord of Ketu and the nakshatra lord of Rahu.

Other points

Jupiter is in its own sign and is in its sign of exaltation in the D10 chart. Rahu plays the role of Saturn because Saturn is the nakshatra lord and Saturn aspects Rahu. These factors make four grahas very strong in her chart – Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury. All these grahas have long dasha periods and come consecutively one after the other. Therefore, even when one of them is not the dasha lord, she gets a long continuous period of support when these grahas run in their sub-dashas.

Success in Rahu mahadasha

Margaret Thatcher’s Rahu mahadasha starts in 1972 and ends in 1990. She becomes the leader of the conservative party in 1975 and becomes the prime minister in 1979 in her Rahu/Saturn period. She serves as the prime minister through 1990, when she resigns in her third term.

Margaret Thatcher vedic chart shows the power of a strong ascendant and Rahu in a chart.
