January 2022 Vedic Monthly Forecast

 

Planets transit in the Month of January

 

Venus retrograde in Capricorn on December 19 until January 29.  When Venus retrograde, the planet's significations don't operate normally. So Venus's significations like love, relationship, and adjustment tend to fall apart. On December 29th Venus backs into Sagittarius. Venus will spend the rest of its retrograde almost the entire month of January in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is an optimistic, self-righteous willful, independent, freedom-loving fire sign.  So the Venus planet of harmony and agreement doesn't do so well in this sign but there is some good thing about Venus retrograde. You may get back in touch with someone. 

 

Another planet that begins a retrograde period in January is Mercury.  Mercury starts its first retrograde period on January 14th till February 3rd in Capricorn. Mercury is the planet of rational thinking, intelligence, learning  communications, and transactions. When the planet of communications is retrograde the transactions get delayed and messages are misinterpreted.  Mercury is the planet of equipment, so equipment failures happen more frequently during Mercury retrograde. But mercury retrograde can be useful for finishing up past business editing a report. 

 

Mercury is under the influence of Saturn this month as Mercury transits through Capricorn. It gets closer and closer to Saturn, the planet of restriction and delay, So we can expect the beginning of Mercury's retrograde to manifest a lot of the delays, especially applied to things like making decisions. 

 

Mars finishes  its transit in Scorpio and enters sidereal Sagittarius on January 16th until 26 February. Mars operates well in Sagittarius. It's a fiery planet in a fire sign of the Sagittarius. Qualities of independence and willfulness are increased with this combination.  Mars is the planet of action and competition in a passionate, self-righteous sign that believes in its own truth. But this also increases the potential for some negative qualities of Mars like the use of force, impatience, impulsiveness and potentially recklessness.

 

Mars will be in Sagittarius for six weeks during that time it will join with Venus. Mars and Venus conjunction results in a lot of heat, passion and drama. Most of that will be happening in February. Mars is the planet of individuality and Venus is the planet of love. When these two planet are together/conjunct then there is a high possibility of problem in relationship.

 

Saturn and Jupiter are in the same signs in January as they were in December. Saturn in Capricorn and Jupiter in Aquarius. 

 

Jupiter is the planet of beliefs, faith, truth, wisdom and judgment. Aquarius is the sign of the social revolutionary, and humanitarian. So this combination is good for the progressives and for the liberals, who want to improve the social norms.

Planets Transit/Shift in 2022 Forecast Vedic Astrology

 

Most people are wondering about how 2022 will be and what could be the major shift in planets which affect their life. Well planets move all the time, but there are three main planets which remain longer in one sign and they are Jupiter which spends 1 year in one sign and Rahu and Ketu which reside almost 1 and half year in one sign and Saturn which spends 2 and half year in one sign. 

Important dates for planets in the sign:

Saturn will enter Aquarius on april/28/2022 and then retrograde on July /12/ 2022 again in Capricorn. 

Saturn will stay in Capricorn most of the year of 2022. So its effect will remain the same.

Dates of Jupiter transit in 2021-22

Jupiter transits into Aquarius: November 21, 2021, to April 13, 2022 

Jupiter transit in Pisces:  April 13, 2022 till 21st April 2023.

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and it shows endings of the things. Jupiter in its own sign is very strong and will teach compassion for others, healing to the world, and higher wisdom e.g letting go of things which you cannot control and be happy.  Many people think letting go is a bad thing but it is not. In fact it is a very mind relieving thing if you can do it. True happiness starts when you are not dependent on others for your happiness and learn how to let go of things which give you pain. It could be someone you love, and you are not receiving the same response in return then what is the use of it? Clinging on unnecessary things is very useless and it hampers your soul evolution.   

Rahu (North Node) and Ketu (south node) tend to change the zodiac sign after every 18 months.Rahu and Ketu are about to change signs on March 16, 2022  till  end of the november 2023.

They will create significant changes in your life and in the world. These planets are indicators of your past karma and future life  and play a significant role in shaping your present life situations.

Rahu (North Node) will transit in the sign of Aries, ruled by Mars, sign of  individuality, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Ketu (South node) will transit in the sign Libra ruled by Venus, sign of relationship, harmony, compromise and business. 

Rahu in Aries will teach you how to develop your own identity and to take your own path in your  life. Being more assertive and direct in your approach. Learning to do your own thing and not listening to others. Try to look at things on your own, being decisive and making decisions on your own. Ketu in Libra realizes that your life is not about pleasing others and you should not depend on others for your vision of life. Letting go of other people's opinion and focusing on your guts will be the theme of the Rahu in Aries and Ketu in Libra.

Eclipses in Astrology

Eclipses are interesting phenomena in the sky. The eclipse is caused by a shadow passing across the Sun or the Moon. Astronomically speaking when the Sun, the Moon and the Earth are all in line with the Moon or the Earth at the center; a Solar or Lunar eclipse takes place respectively. The most interesting fact about the eclipse is that in reality we are not able to see Rahu and Ketu (north and south node) as we are able to see other planets. But on eclipse day we are able to see them. On the day of eclipse the energy of these celestial bodies is enormous and very powerful. Another interesting fact about that on the Eclipse day all these three planets Sun, Moon and Earth appear equal in sizes. Eclipses are indications of a change for better or worse but more importantly they indicate the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new one. Rahu and Ketu can cause eclipses and this is one of the main reasons they were regarded as bad. There are two types of eclipse: solar and lunar eclipse. The Eclipse happens many times in a year and each one has a different meaning astrologically.

Solar Eclipses Astrology

The Solar eclipses happen on New Moon day. When the Moon moves between Earth and Sun and all the three planets are in one line. The Moon's shadow travels over the Earth's surface and blocks out the Sun's light as seen from Earth. During the Solar Eclipse day the deadly silence and disturbance of birds and animals made them fear that the end of life is coming. As the dark shadow of the Moon engulfed the Sun, it appeared as if a demon was swallowing it. An eclipse is always a portent for some change to come. It's a kind of  divine warning. The Sun sheds its light for a moment and exposes the shadow of the Moon which is Rahu, and when Rahu is revealed, our hidden side comes to the surface. An unusual aspect of our consciousness comes out, highlighting different aspects of life.

Lunar Eclipses Astrology

Lunar eclipses only happen on Full Moon. When the Earth moves between Moon and Sun, and all the three planets in a one line. The impact of a Lunar Eclipse is felt immediately and it creates a greater disturbance on feelings, which is felt instantly. The Lunar Eclipse highlights a specific event, creates a situation and it usually all happens within the month.

Eclipses considered as bad omens. Day of eclipse should be avoided for important new beginnings in material areas like starting a new business, getting married, approaching your boss for a promotion, or proposing to your girlfriend. Eclipses are good for introspection, meditation, cleaning house, letting go of old baggage, spending some quiet time, and spiritual pursuit. Then the eclipse might indicate a positive outcome.

Astrological impact of Eclipse on Birth Chart:

The astrological house in which the eclipse takes place will usually become sensitized for up to many months. If the eclipse falls on the person's natal Sun, Moon, Ascendant, or ruler of the Ascendant, or any planet within 15° of an eclipse will feel its influence and will have a powerful effect on that person’s life. The Nakshatra in which an eclipse falls will also give a clue to its effects.

To understand what the eclipse is doing for you personally, you want to see what are your planets are being impacted. The eclipse highlights a specific area of your life and brings it into your consciousness. It can be either good or bad. Eclipse on the natal Sun, representing the soul, power authority and life purpose and and can trigger your life purpose. Which can be accelerating individuality, purpose and drive. If an eclipse is near your Ascendant or its ruler, it indicates a change in personality and as a result change in life. If the Mercury are significators of the mind and intellect, it may affect intellectually. If it connects to your Mars, it could make you aggressive, and may make you feel competitive or make you want to get in a fight. Any planet can be involved in being eclipsed. And eclipses on other planets usually have an impact on the houses they rule in your chart. e. g. If Venus ruled your 2nd and houses then an eclipse on Venus would highlight issues with money and relationship with spouse. Signs of the eclipse also give indication in which area of life is affected.

It is important to be safe when viewing an eclipse because on the day of eclipse the energy level of the Sun and Moon is very high on the earth because they are in one line. So never look at the Sun directly because solar radiation can damage your eyes.

People born on the day of Eclipse: Can energize the birth planets and their life. These people have enormous energy and can be fearless and independent and possess very strong qualities. Their fate is beyond their control.

Other significance of eclipse:

At the time of the eclipse, people bathe in the sacred rivers. They do charitable acts. They give cows, money and gold. The day after the eclipse they feed the poor and the Sadhus. After the eclipse they clean their houses, vessels, etc., and take a bath before they start cooking.

On eclipse time because Sun rays are not coming to earth most of the cooked food turns into poison. So One should not take food during the eclipse and one should eat food before 3 or 4 hours before the eclipse begins so that food should by then have been digested before the eclipse begins. One should take food only after seeing the Sun or the Moon free from the Eclipse.

Pregnant women should not see the Sun or the Moon during the time of the eclipse because of intense dark rays of Sun which can cause damage to the unborn baby and If they do the child born may have some kind of defect. People should avoid sensual activity on the day of the eclipse, for the same reason.

At this time of eclipse one should take great care in avoiding bleeding, stings, bites from poisonous insects or animals because these may have dreadful results. Even an earthworm has a poisonous effect when it bites one during an eclipse.

Spiritual practice can give a great amount of benefit on the eclipse day. Those who do chanting (japa) at the time of the eclipse derive great benefits. The effect of chanting ( japa) and on the day of eclipse increase many fold compared to any other normal day because the Sun, Moon and Earth are in the same alignment. Satsang, bhajan and kirtan during the eclipse gives relief from the suffering of humanity and also of the individual bad planets in the birth chart by receiving the blessings of the Gods. If you cannot understand many things of this mysterious universe then, have faith in the words of wise people and follow them.

Types of Eclipse Astrology

Solar Eclipses Astrology:

Total solar eclipse: Occurs when the Moon completely covers the Sun, and the dark silhouette of the Moon completely obscures the intensely bright light of the Sun. Allowing the much fainter Sun to be visible.

Partial solar eclipses: Can occur when the Sun and Moon are not exactly in line and the Moon only partially obscures the Sun.

Annular eclipses: An annular eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are exactly in line, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of the Sun. Hence the Sun appears as a very bright ring surrounding the dark disk of the Moon.

Hybrid eclipses: A hybrid eclipse shifts between a total and annular eclipse. At certain points on the surface of Earth it appears as a total eclipse. Whereas at other points it appears as annular. Hybrid eclipses are rare.

Lunar Eclipses Astrology:

Total lunar eclipses: Occur when the Earth's shadow obscures all of the Moon's visible surface.

Partial lunar eclipse: A partial lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and Moon but the three planets do not form a straight line and some portion of the Moon moves into the darkest.

Penumbral lunar eclipses: A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and Moon but the three planets do not form a perfectly straight line. It means the Moon still receives some Sunlight.

Novmber 2021 Vedic Monthly Forecast

 

Planets transit in the Month of November 

Last week of October the planet of aggression, force and conflict Mars leaves Virgo and enters Libra on 21st October. Mars entering Libra is not a good sign of harmony, compromise and agreement. On the positive side the Mars energy to some degree gets dull. At the beginning of its transit Mars isn't interacting with other planets.  On November 2nd Mercury enters Libra and will join Mars. These two planets are considered enemies in Vedic astrology.  Mercury's rational, reasonable approach to dealing with things gets distorted by Mars forcefulness, haste and impulsiveness.  Mercury is the planet of communication and when joined with Mars the planet of aggression leads to aggressive communication. 

On November 10th Mercury and Mars both planets are exactly conjunct at 13 degrees Libra.  Simultaneously the two planets are in an aspect pattern with Saturn.  Since Saturn is in its own sign Capricorn is strong. Mars and Saturn have inimical qualities and the aspect is conflicting and leads to challenging situations. Saturn is the planet of stability, security, established order and tries to stop the actions of Mars. Mars tries to push Saturn into action. Saturn tries to control the aggression of Mars. This pattern produces a lot of tension and stress and could even lead to a crisis.  

On November 4th the New Moon, the beginning of a Lunar month, gives us some clues about what will happen during that month. On this day there is a Indian festival Diwali. Diwali is the festival of lights. This festival of India shows victory over your five sense which leads to righteous actions.

 

Venus changed signs at the end of October leaving Scorpio and entering Sagittarius. This is not such a good combination for some of Venus's significations. Sagittarius is a fire sign and therefore egoistic, self-centered, independent and willful. Sagittarius is attached to its own truth and  self-righteousness. So the planet of harmony, balance, compromise and agreement is not able to function smoothly. 

 

Jupiter changing signs on November 20th. Jupiter leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius where it will remain for five months until 13 April 2022. This time the transit of Jupiter is for a short duration due to its fast speed and will enter the Pisces sign on April 13, 2022.  Aquarius is a sign of  progression of humanity and society.  Aquarius wants to bring people together to enact social change. Jupiter is the planet of beliefs, truth, laws and justice. So this is a good transit for the people who want to make the world better for everyone. Jupiter's aspect gives encouragement to whatever sign it aspect. Jupiter will send a direct aspect to Leos as well as 9th aspects to Libra and 5th aspect to Gemini and Jupiter benefits any planets residing in these signs.

 

There will be a Lunar eclipse on November 19th at 3 degrees in Taurus sign. Moon is exalted in the sign of Taurus but because it eclipse it will not function properly. The Lunar eclipse which creates confusion or lack of a clear vision to go forward. Therefore makes the month a bit weaker for getting things done. There will still be a tiny portion of the Moon remaining uncovered and it looks silver. Therefore the Moon doesn't go totally dark during a lunar eclipse, but rather takes on this dark red hue hence it's called a Blood Moon. 

 

This eclipse will be visible over North America and the pacific ocean. This eclipse is not directly interacting with any planets but since a lunar eclipse is a darkening of the full moon it does cause some weakness to the energy of the month.

October 2021 Vedic Monthly Forecast

 

Planets transit in the Month of October

 

In the month of October Mars is combust till it changes sign on October 21st.  Combustion is where the planet gets very close to the Sun. When Mars combusts, it is a frustrated and angry energy. Combustion of Mars shows that we want to work hard to change and to improve on certain things, but we can get kind of fired up in this process. So watch out your frustrations and your anger during this period.

Mercury retrograde in Libra and conjunct Mars in Virgo:  The last Mercury retrograde period of 2021, begins September 26th and continues until October 18th. The retrograde Mercury conjunct Mars and Sun in Virgo on October 2nd. Mercury is the planet of communications and rational thinking going backwards and therefore causing problems with communications and making decisions. Mercury retrograde periods are known for creating a lot of confusion. At the beginning of this Mercury retrograde period it's just the usual problems of delays, misunderstandings, mistakes, equipment malfunction and so forth.  But then after spending the first several days of its retrograde in Libra, Mercury backs into Virgo sign, where it joins up with its enemy Mars. This is where things get complicated due to the forceful impatience and combative nature of Mars. The annoyance and inconvenience of retrograde Mercury is made much worse for the first three weeks of October. This problematic energy pattern of the planet of rational thinking combines with the planet of action behaving irrationally, haste, aggressive and combating.  So this is not good. There's a strong tendency for misunderstanding leading to the argument. 

The energy of Mars combined with retrograde Mercury gets a further boost on October 6th at 19 degrees Virgo on New Moon. The New Moon is very important in Hindu Calendar, because it initiates the energy pattern for the coming lunar month. This New Moon is also very important because it exactly conjunct Mars and with retrograde Mercury. So there's strong energy for both action and mistakes. Mercury retrograde continues until October 18th a few days after that Mars leaves Virgo and enters Libra on 21st October and that leaves Mercury alone unaffected by the energy of Mars. Virgo is Mercury's own sign during the last week of the month the planet of rational thinking and reasonable decisions slowly returns to normal forward motion and its significations will return to normal.

Mars changes signs leaving Virgo sign and entering Libra on October 21st. Mars is the planet of force that manifests from the venue of relationship-oriented idealistic Libra sign, that wants to find harmony and balance through compromise. This tends to tame some of the Mars aggression. Still Mars is the planet of action and Libra is a sign of idealism. So the idealists will get a boost from this transit. Also while in Libra, Mars will be influencing Venus during October. Venus is transiting in Mars's sign Scorpio. When Mars moves into Venus's sign Libra they form a parivartana (exchange sign) yoga. An exchange of sign rulers causing the two planets to influence each other.  Whenever Mars and Venus form a relationship in any way, it creates a lot of passion, excitement and argument.  It only lasts until the end of the month on October 30th. Venus changes signs leaving Scorpio and entering Sagittarius and the yoga with Mars ends.

Venus in Scorpio: Venus changes signs on the 1st day of October leaving Libra sign and entering Scorpio sign. The planet of relationship, balance, and harmony moves on from its own sign where it was happy and enters the sign of its opposite quality ruled by Mars. Scorpio is the sign of manipulation, passion, secrets and hunger for power. So Venus is detrimental in this sign. Venus in Scorpio tends to bring out the downside of Venus which is control, jealousy in relationship, selfishness, and self-indulgence. So watch that in your relationships and your situations in life where you're interacting with others through mutual benefit that could also include business relationships where there's a give and take.

Another most important thing happens and that while Venus is in Scorpio it joins up with South Node Ketu.  The South Node of the Moon is one of the eclipse points.  Ketu is the significator of past karma and the past in general and it also signifies the non-material dimension.  Ketu tends to dissolve things on the material plane. If it is in good dignity, then it gives enlightenment to the person. In Vedic astrology it is said that Ketu acts like Mars in other words it could be destructive.  This combination is generally problematic for Venus significations therefore harmony and relationships will suffer and values get distorted. Since Ketu is spiritual in combination with Venus, the planet of love can be good for spiritual devotion.  The exact conjunction of Venus with Ketu is on October 9th and the Moon joins in as well, adding more potential for events as it happens. October 9th is the same day that Mars is conjunct with retrograde Mercury. So this day has pretty intense energy.  

Both Jupiter and Saturn, are now in the sign Capricorn.  Capricorn is the sign of practical goals and tangible results. This is one of Saturn's own signs. So both Saturn and Capricorn significations are strengthened.  So this is good for structure, stability, responsibility and duty. Jupiter is the planet of beliefs, wisdom, justice and law.  While in Capricorn Jupiter's beliefs are manifesting through the Capricorn sign of practicality.  Capricorn is conservative, so conservative beliefs get emphasized. Since Saturn is here too, and Saturn is the significator of persistence. So what it signifies is that  people are still clinging to their already formed beliefs till this conjunction is not separate.  

Saturn and Jupiter are ending their retrograde periods in October.  Saturn's retrograde period is for four and a half months this year. Saturn has been retrograde since may 22nd and will end its retrograde on October 10th.  Before and after a planet begins or ends a retrograde it appears to hang stationary in the zodiac. Stationary positions of the planets are considered extra strong for their significations. In the case of slow-moving planets like Saturn or Jupiter the stationary period is for a few weeks.  Jupiter's retrograde period is for four months. It went retrograde on June 20th and ended its retrograde on October 18th. Jupiter is retrograde, always reevaluating whether or not our beliefs make sense whether or not we're putting them into practice correctly.  

Saturn and Jupiter both turn direct. Saturn goes direct first but then Jupiter also turns direct by October 19th. They're both moving forward. So this means that our vision and purpose which is Jupiter and our commitments and hard work and effort which is Saturn are now both moving forward right at the same time. They've both been retrograde for several months which means our vision and purpose and our duties and commitments have been not moving forwards and again we're going to feel much more aligned to move forward with the things that inspire us and really commit to them. 

Sun is going to enter the sign of Libra on October 17th which is the sign of the debilitation of the Sun. Sun will be debilitated in Libra starting and then for the rest of the month. Sun in its debilitated sign means that it's where our compromises and our agreements tend to feel like they weigh on us. Because the Sun is the part of us that wants to act with consistent vision and purpose. That's why Sun exalted in Aries sign, where we just trust that vision and inner voice and we act on it.  Those are the things we're supposed to be acting upon. Saturn is debilitated in Aries. So when we just instinctively act out of our fears then there's a lot of problems. But when we instinctively act upon what inspires us then it's good. But in the Libra sign it's completely opposite.  The Sun is in Libra thinking too much about its power. So it's like that, is it okay if I'm powerful to shine, it's not gonna upset people I love. Libra is where we're always trying to harmonize and compromising our energy and the Sun is not that kind of energy. The Sun doesn't want anyone permission to shine brightly. In Libra it can bring humility if you already have a powerful Sun in your natal chart. You may not tend to overdo it at times so when it goes through Libra. It allows us to really connect that big vision and purpose with others in a more skillful way.
