Sendai Quake Astrology Transit Chart

2011-03-15T14:13:00.000-07:00

The Sendai quake should have been seen beforehand. The current Jupiter-Saturn Opposition is transiting the Sun of the City of Sendai.

Saturn is opposing the Sun of the City of Sendai. Also transiting Pluto is conjunct Jupiter. The tense T-Square made by Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto seems to have been powerful enough to cause the earthquake, tsunami, nuclear radiation and more.

Any person city or country with Sun/important points at or near 11 degrees Aries will need to watch out during this time.

Astrology and The Big Bang Theory

2010-12-07T22:15:00.001-08:00

I just found that the big bang theory has parallels with astrological signs. In astrology the sign sequence is fire-earth-air-water. Eg. Aries-Taurus-Gemini-Cancer.

According to the big bang theory there was first the big bang (fire). Then there was cooling to form all forms of matter (earth). Then the gases released during cooling formed planet atnospheres (air). Next, ther air condensed to form oceans, rivers and lakes (water).

The fact that there are 12 signs in astrology where the fire-earth-air-water sequence is repeated thrice and then in an endlessly cyclical fashion probably shows that the big bang may have happened many times before and will happen many times again.

The universe is currently in a state of expansion. But the number of black holes are increasing, which means that eventually all matter would be sucked in by these black holes. A big bang will happen eventually and the whole process starts again.

How to Make Money in the Aquarian Age - II

2010-11-25T21:56:00.000-08:00

Consider the previous age, Pisces. It was an age when people spent time delving into life's mysteries. People were idle with no work (opposite sign, Virgo, represents work). Those who could enable people to escape from a state of worklessness to a state of work, from a state of uselessness to a state of usefulness (again, Virgo), became rich. And who was that? Whoever could give you work. Anyone who owned a company.

Now consider this age, Aquarius. This is the age of technology. It is the age when the group takes precedence over the self and ego. It is the age where everybody is a nobody. Help people to change from being a nobody to being a somebody, and you become rich.

Facebook, twitter, tv shows, the internet - all these make people feel like they are somebody. Advertising, broadcasting and telecommunications industries will take off in a big way, as is already quite evident.

Leo also represents fun and energy. Entertainment industry. Energy sector. These will dominate.

How did we end up in this age, anyhow? Why does everyone want to be a star now?

People are tired of the last 2000+ years of self sacrifice (Pisces), don't particularly like the current 2000 years of ego checking (Aquarius) and dread the next 2000+ years of restrictions (Capricorn).

Give people what they want most in any age (represented by the opposite sign) and you are rewarded.

In Pisces they escaped through work (Virgo). In Aquarius they shine through the media (Leo). In Capricorn they will break free through emotions (Cancer).

How to Make Money in the Aquarian Age

2010-11-14T23:35:00.000-08:00

The Piscean age is all but over. However, there are some lessons that it can teach us.

Consider the Aries Age before it, the age of wars. It was the age when warring was considered noble and great. The movie Troy exemplifies this. Its story is from that age. Who gave the people the opportunity to fight and become heroes? The kings. They had all the power. Or resources, as is appropriate for the age.

Now consider the opposite sign, Libra. In the Aries Age a pipeline of energy flow would be established whereby Libran justice would be brought about by Arian force. Those who had the power to make this happen became rich. The kings, the military commanders.

Now consider the age after Aries, Pisces.

Pisces has the opposite sign of Virgo. Those who became rich in the Piscean age would be those who brought about Virgo order by Piscean mysticism. The priests, religious leaders.

Now consider this age, the Aquarius Age. The opposite sign is Leo. Those who become rich now are those who bring about Leo fun & grandeur by Aquarian inventiveness. Those who bring technology to the masses. Computer and cell phone manufacturers. In other words, give people fun and a chance to shine, and you will become rich.

The Beauty of Astrology

2010-10-22T08:24:00.000-07:00

the beauty of astrology is... it tells you exactly what's going on...

Why the things happen when they do. And why they don't.

Nothing else really helps makes sense of the world we live in.

But of course, you need to be looking at astrology for what it really is. You need to understand the real and true meaning of every aspect or position at a particular place or time. And that is very complex, so you need patience, loads of it.

Once you truly understand, you are one with the universe. This is the enlightenment ancient sages spoke of, that results from true knowledge.

A peace dawns on you because you know. You Know.

The Coming Capricorn Age

2010-10-03T18:39:00.000-07:00

Freedom in everything, relaxation of rules everywhere, free for all, the absence of rules - these are the things that are growing in popularity today.

The Aquarian Age.

But this age will end and there will be immense force felt by all from the heavy hand of law when it does. The times change eventually. When this happens, it will be heavy handed and difficult to digest. Just as the transition from Aries to Pisces, the age of persecutions, when the human race was purified through pain, suffering and sacrifice.

Rules will rain upon the human race like never before. Restrictions and boundaries will be set in our lives, in all its aspects.

This will be the beginning of the Capricorn Age.

Each age is about 2160 years, so depending on where you think the Pisces age and Aquarius Age started, the Capricorn Age will begin.

I have attempted to create the exact date based based on history and my interpretation of the Age of Pisces, which is that it is an age of persecution. The Roman destruction of Carthage in the spring of 146 BC seems to be widely accepted as the first genocide, which I will take as the beginning of the Piscean Age.

Add 2160 years, you get the Spring of 2014, which should be the beginning of the Age of Aquarius, when freedom might take off in a big way.

Adding another 2160 years, the Age of Capricorn should begin in the year 4174.

When we start seeing a change from the crazy 'freedom is everything' slogans we see today, to a marked shift in rules for anything and everything, know that the Capricorn Age is near.

Died and Reborn

2010-10-03T14:50:00.000-07:00

I will be relocating back to where I grew up after 14 years.

During the relocation my ascendant moves from 14 degrees Aries to 18 degrees Pisces.

It goes through the Spring Zero point, the point that represents endings and beginnings. I hope, it doesn't represent actual death.

But well, that has been my experience when I moved here 15 years ago. I was forced to become somebody else. I resisted with all my might, with everything I got. But ultimately gave in, I think.

Basically, I was extremely naive about my own country, India. Till I came here and found myself facing, quite literally, death itself.

I was being destroyed physically, nothing agreed with me. Found out how superficial everyone really is. Had to give up all my previous hopes and dreams and start anew.

But now, an opportunity to go back. I would love to go back. The resulting ascendant would be sextiling my sun and moon, by being at their midpoint.

But my ascendant will have to pass through zero degrees Aries, which I fear, is the point of death.

Let's wait and see how literal all this is. And besides, I can't say if I have changed, died and reborn, for sure. Only an outsider can. Or maybe I can when I go back and see if I feel the same things I used to, or if that part of me has been completely destroyed. Or will I have to go through another process of death?

Or would it be like coming back from the dead?

It has been difficult, I can say that.

Also, the journey date seems to be coinciding with my first Saturn return.

Mercury Sextile Jupiter-Saturn

2010-07-15T19:56:00.000-07:00

My passport application has been delayed for a month. I had to go and put my application on priority (indirect tatkaal). Otherwise it would have taken me another month and a half more to get the passport.

Everything did go amazingly smoothly on 15 July (yesterday). One amazing instance in which the tatkaal form counter was about to close at 12:00 pm and I was there exactly as the time turned 12:00 pm. If I was a minute late I would have to come back next day.

Mercury was sextiling my Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at that time. Mercury sextile Jupiter was at exactly 10:57 am and Mercury sextile Saturn was at 4:33 pm

I also had a glue stick and passport size photos with me at the time I was asked to submit the tatkaal form. Besides, I shared the glue stick with two others who did not have glue.

Importance of the Correct Birth Time for Astrology to Work

2010-06-07T20:38:00.000-07:00

North node passed through the 10th house recently and is going to be conjunct my Midheaven soon (since it is always retrograde).

I think it is of major significance as I see the focus on career and the public persona shaping up and solidifying. Considering the North Node takes 18.6 years to make a full journey through everyone's natal charts, the ninth house of travel and broadening horizons has been out of my reach for so long, but won't be anymore when the north node passes from 10th to 9th house in a month.

Jupiter transiting the 12th house means an overabundance of spiritual energy and and clearing up the psyche of past habits and behaviors. Sadly Uranus is also transiting the 12th house, so my inner reserves are not as blissfully and easily renewed as it could be.

Saturn transiting the sixth house represents the focus on health and the ever present need in the past couple of years to take care of health matters and prune the work routines.

While Jupiter represents the area of overabundance (spiritual - 12th house), Saturn represents the area of concern (health and work - 6th house). This accurately describes my current situation.

Wouldn't have found all this if I hadn't got my birth time correctly a few weeks back. Using the wrong birth time for almost a decade now, the house transits never made enough sense to be helpful in understanding what's really going on.

But it does make sense now.

If you know where your Saturn and Jupiter are transiting in your natal chart, read the following interpretations to know which area in life you are experiencing an overabundance (Jupiter) and which are in life you are facing troubles (Saturn).

The best thing about Astrology is that it gives you hope. You realize that things do happen in cycles and there's not just 1,2 or 3 facets of life (work, play, love...), there's at least 12 facets (houses in the natal chart). If something seems to be missing in your life for a long time, it does not mean that it is gone forever. It is just that it's time has not yet come and there are other facets of life that are just as important that you may be neglecting.

Modified Agepoint

2010-02-13T20:30:00.000-08:00

Just to recap on what the modified agepoint is...

It is a point that passes anticlockwise from the ascendant, moving at a speed of 30 degrees per year. The planets it touches are brought out in full expression during the conjunct or any other major aspect.

Try and see if it works for you.

Timing of Princess Diana's Life Events from Natal Chart Using Age Point

2010-01-04T02:58:00.000-08:00

Princess Diana's natal chart has been used here to illustrate the modified age point technique.

The orbit of the Earth around the Sun takes 365.26 days. This corresponds to 1 year of a person's life. At the same time, the natal chart is a complete circle of 360 degrees. These two numbers are approximately equal to one another, suggesting a correlation.

Historically, the natal chart has always been divided into 12 houses. There are 12 sun signs in the zodiac. There are 12 hours in day and 12 hours in night. 12 seems to be the magic number. Dividing 360/12, we get 30 degrees, the space allocated to each sun sign.

Allocating 30 degrees to 1 year of a person's life, and since 360 degrees corresponds to 365.26, as we saw in the beginning, dividing 365.26 by 30, we get:

1 degree = 12.175333333333333333333333333333 days
Therefore, 1 day = 0.08213327492744894048075343590869 degree

No. - Event - Date - Degree - Degree from Asc
1 - Birth - 07/01/61 - 0 - 0
2 - Marriage - 07/29/81 - 602.28 - 242.28
3 - Separation - 12/09/92 - 943.22 - 223.22
4 - Withdrawal from Public Life - 12/03/93 - 972.7 - 252.7
5 - Divorce - 08/28/96 - 1054.76 - 334.76
6 - Death - 08/31/97 - 1084.98 - 4.98
7 - Funeral - 09/06/97 - 1085.47 - 5.47

Princess Diana's birth is placed at the ascendant, on 07/01/61.

Marriage with Prince Charles is on 07/29/81, which is 7333 days later.

7333 days corresponds to 7333 x 0.08213327492744894048075343590869 = 602.28 degrees.

Going anticlockwise in the natal chart, following the direction the ascendant travels in any natal chart, 602.28 degrees corresponds to 242.28 degrees, after completing one turn of 360 degrees.

242.28 degrees falls close to the Mars-Pluto-Uranus cluster around the North Node. From the chart, this looks like the most important point in her chart. From Diana's perspective as well, this is the turning point of her life. It is hence quite fitting that the fairytale marriage falls at this point.

223.22 degrees falls directly opposite Diana's Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 43 degrees (43+180=223), on the cusp of her eighth house. Since the eighth house rules shared finances and possessions, it is again quite fitting that the public separation with Prince Charles falls at this point.

252.7 degrees falls on her Mars-North Node conjunction, opposite her Moon at 67 degrees (67+180=247) and close to Uranus and Pluto. At this point falls Diana's announcement of withdrawal from public life. North Node signifies where the person is headed in life, Uranus-Pluto conjunction signifies violent separations: Diana was headed in this direction following this announcement.

334.76 degrees squares the above point as well as her marriage (242.28). Therefore it is fitting that this point is representing her divorce from Prince Charles on 08/28/96. It is also opposite her Venus conjunct Algol in the fifth house at 157 degrees (157+180=330) and square her Moon at 67 degrees.

4.98 degrees falls on 23 Sag, trine Uranus at 244 degrees and sextile Moon at 67 degrees. It also weakly trines the point representing her withdrawal from public life at 252.7 degrees. It corresponds to Diana's death in a car crash.

5.47 degrees represents her funeral, watched by an estimated 2.5 billion people worldwide on television. This is just one degree after the popint representing Diana's death and the same aspects apply here, only they become stronger.

This technique can be applied to any natal chart to determine the timing of events in a person's life.

The most exact aspect

2009-11-08T02:43:00.000-08:00

The most exact aspect is the defining characteristic of a natal chart. I have found it through experience, that the most exact aspect is what a person really is, all appearances and role-play aside.

It can be used not only in the case of personal portrait, but also in synastry and for events, and basically any chart. Find out what is the closest aspect in your chart and read everything you can find about it.

By the way, the most exact aspect I'm referring to is only between the sun, moon and planets. The ascendant, midheaven and other bodies and points are not to be included.

I read an article by Robert Hand in which he said that astrology is losing respect because it is not accurate. I'm sure if we focused on the most exact aspect between the above-said bodies only, astrology could probably be known as a true science. After all, once upon a time it was known as the mother of all sciences.

Lazy New Age

2009-07-16T22:01:00.000-07:00

----

In the last age work was God. People worked their whole lives, with little compensation. In this age, being lazy and doing nothing is God. Yes, this is the new age.

How did I come to this? The Pisces-Virgo axis of the last age. Virgo is about work. In the piscean age, work was difficult and hence God. We have the industrial age, scientific progress, computer programming and the work culture of today to prove it. The ultimate wish of a human being was to find a job he/she could securely do (work at) for the rest of his/her life.

However, those keeping an eye on current trends will have already noticed the leonine nature of lazy showbiz lives that are increasingly being the ultimate wish of everyone. The plethora of talk shows, reality shows, new advertising gimmicks, blogging, self-proclaiming profiles on facebook, all are very leonine in nature. The aquarian platform of TV and Internet helps launch these leonine activities. I should be calling them non-activities as it boils down to just being plain lazy and doing nothing really productive.

People are losing jobs in the US, but yes, this is not so bad as no work is the aspired state of living in the new age. Some kind of new system will help change the old life of working all your life to pay utility bills, loans and credit card balances.

I think it will become even clearer if we look ahead to the next age, 2000 years into the future, the capricorn age. Capricorn is about order and hierarchy, so society would have attained a high degree of order by then. The axis of Cancer-Capricorn would mean that Cancer activities would be God. Staying at home, taking care of others, watching movies, being very emotional. For that kind of feminine activity to become difficult or hard to attain, the way of life should have become very masculine. The aquarian age, hence, would be the in-between step to a very masculine society. Leonine activities that we see today would make society masculine, self-centred. Being lazy and doing nothing.

I already find the younger generations just incapable of doing any useful work. They are obsessed all the time with their looks, social image, clothes to wear, the latest technology, etc, never really worrying about how useless they really are to any one at all. Sounds leonine? Revolting though it is, it is the reality we will be forced to accept in the new age. Even if people hold jobs, aquarian tech will be doing all the work, not they themselves.

War Looking Ever More Likely

2009-06-15T12:48:00.000-07:00

War is looking ever more likely. This astro chart of Sept 30, 2009 shows tight configurations of planet clusters opposing each other in the sky.

For me, Saturn, Mars, Pluto and Nodes are the signs of war. When all these form stressful aspects to each other, it spells danger. Also, oppositions by transcendental planets, the slow ones, such as Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Since they are slow, oppositions (and also squares) last a long time.

Also the yod configurations. In this chart how many yods, my God! :)

It may not be exact, but it's one of the worst line-up of planets I have ever seen.

Either there will be a tremendous revelation or a tremendous calamity, or both. It looks like a destined time...

1) Both world wars started when Pluto was at the beginning of signs. World War I when Pluto was in the beginning of Cancer, World War II when Pluto was in the beginning of Leo. Now Pluto is in the beginning of Capricorn.

2) Pluto is in the beginning of Capricorn, opposing the point it was in at the beginning of World War I. It was squared by Saturn and opposed by Mars during World War I. Right now it is being squared by Saturn and will also be opposed by Mars around August 27, 2009.

3) Pluto-Saturn conjunction squaring a Venus-Mars conjunction characterized World War I. On July 5, 2009, we have a Neptune-Jupiter conjunction squaring a Mars-Venus conjunction.

4) And most of all, the God of War, Mars, enters Leo, an exalted sign for Mars, opposing the Neptune-Jupiter-Chiron conjunction that has stayed on all these months, by December 2009.

North Korea War Likely on June 24-26, 2009

2009-06-07T15:08:00.000-07:00

Saturn is fast approaching North Korea's sun, the effects of which we have seen in the past few weeks. There is also a trine to the natal sun from the transiting venus-mars conjunction that could serve to ease out any military obstacles...

This happens to be quite exact on June 24, 2009, so the military action could be around this time.

On second look, it is exact on June 26, 2009, 7:08 am Bangalore time.

As you can see, there is also a yod from pluto and the jupiter-neptune-chiron triple conjunction to the south node. Now, south node definitely indicates war, and with such a triple yod of two transcendental planets (neptune, pluto) and jupiter pointing to the south node, it's very likely the omen of a World War.

Pluto at 27Cap in US natal chart opposes the south node point of the yod, so whatever is done on this day, the US will be against it.

Modified Age-Point Technique - revisited

2008-11-24T22:53:00.000-08:00

I have retested this theory and it has worked again! And again! Though I have previously written about this in other blogs, the modified age-point technique is proving more and more to be the most reliable forecast technique to determine key turning points in a person's life.

This is how I do it.

Ask a person for two or three most important events in his/her life. Using the person's natal chart, from the ascendant and going anti-clockwise, use one house for one year of his/her life and see where the important life events fall. There will most likely be a planet corresponding to the time the events occured and relating to the event by nature of planet or house.

For example, if the person had a life-changing shift to another country when he/she just turned three years old, and Uranus (movement, change) is on the cusp of the fourth house (home, nurture), we have an exact fit for the first event in his/her life. Go on and look for the second event. If, suppose, for the second event, he/she had an accident at age 18 and has pluto (change, transformation) and mars (high energy, accidents) conjunct in the sixth house (health, work), again we have an approximate fit for the second life event.

From this pattern, see how many days equals one degree on the person's natal chart. It is not the same for everyone, in my experience. After you get this figure, use it to calculate future events depending on which planet lies ahead and when.

You can go on and check if the third event also matches to ensure you are on the right track. If not, try to see if any other planets nearby better fit the pattern of life events.

If you want a forecast, don't hesitate to contact me with your birth details. Don't worry, it's free. :)

Two clusters in the sky on Dec 1, 2008

2008-11-17T08:12:00.000-08:00

There are two clusters forming in the sky. One is a venus-jupiter-moon cluster and the other is a sun-mars-mercury cluster. Seems to be a time of high energy (fire planets) and extremely auspicious events (planets of prosperity and enjoyment). I have decided that Dec 1, 2008, 20:30 IST (15:00 GMT) would be the culmination point of this astrological parade. Anything started at this time could possibly be guaranteed to succeed.

Jupiter is traditionally known as a the planet of prosperity, and along with the moon and venus, it has gathered up the most luminous objects in the sky in one place.
