Shapit dosh 2023 and Venus in Aries

This year the Venus Saturn Rahu Jupiter dynamic is causing continuous havoc in everyone’s personal life (post here). Several of us are going through financial difficulties, professional issues, health problems both mental and physical etc.

The year 2023 started with both Venus and Saturn in Capricorn. This meant that one of the two sources of wisdom (Venus and Jupiter are the two Gurus) was restricted by Saturn. Venus with Saturn is an intensely cruel combination, in birth or transit or in even the Dasha system (post here).

Then this restrictive energy continued as both, one after the other, moved into Aquarius in Jan 2023. And once Saturn entered Aquarius (post here), he started aspecting Rahu in Aries creating an intense Shapit dosh in transit (post here). Further he and Rahu took control of Jupiter in Pisces in a cruel paap kartari scissor. This stopped Jupiter from doing whatever good he was capable of and in addition all the things controlled by Jupiter started causing turbulence in our lives.

Next Venus moved into Pisces, joining Jupiter and causing even more confusion as Venus and Jupiter together (post here) is in itself an inauspicious combination. If this was not enough Sun and Mercury entered Aquarius, giving Saturn full control over 5 graha. (It will become 6 graha when Moon in his cycle of 28days, enters Aquarius and till he exits Aries)

Now Venus is all set to move into Aries on 12th Mar 2023, where he will join Rahu and be aspected by Saturn, creating even more trouble for everyone on multiple fronts. The Shapit dosh which started on 17th Jan 2023, as Saturn entered Aquarius, will go on an overdrive. This time till 6th Apr will be tumultuous for everyone. Venus getting afflicted to this extent means that everyone will temporarily lose that precious relationship with the one they love the most, ie the personal Self.

You will feel unvalued, there will be a loss of confidence, you will not get validation from anyone, feel lonely, suffer from a lack of support from your loved ones and even your personal spiritual practice/your deity will fail to overtly support you as you feel lost inside. This is a time when you might think unethical thoughts, do immoral actions, start addictions and take misguided decisions which have a long term negative impacts.

The keywords of Venus, ie spiritual practice, physical intimacy, pujas, wisdom, beauty, money, partnerships, accumulated resources, close family, equal love, etc will be under the typical influence of Rahu and restricted by Saturn. You might feel deprived of these things or feel that someone is cheating you at this level or you yourself might cheat others here or you might voluntarily under the illusion of Rahu allow yourself be cheated in these aspects of your life. There is a possibility of domestic violence, hateful words, emotional torture at the one-one levels. Snapping of relations is a distinct possibility in this time. Try to not hurt the ones you love as it may not be possible to recover any relationships/ assets etc that you lose during this time.

Saturn has full control over the situation as he is dominating Rahu, Jupiter and Venus. Also Sun and Mercury in Aquarius are caught in this storm. All these planets will be under Saturn’s control until they move out from Aries. If Saturn is a malefic for your ascendant sign (post here) then this will be worst. For those who have a benefic Saturn at birth, this will be an average to bad time.

Saturn is on the verge of exiting Dhanishtha nakshatra (post here) and will soon enter the Shatataraka nakshatra (post here). Shatatarka lunar mansion is connected to Rahu. The rule breaker Rahu will now onwards be subtly influencing the systematic Saturn of about one year. A curious sense of symmetry is seen here as Saturn is aspecting Rahu while sitting in a nakshtra linked to Rahu. If you have a benefic Rahu in your birth chart then this time may give you some spiritual benefits. If this Saturn in Shatararaka/ Shatabhisha nakshatra transit is unfavourable for you then be prepared for a surge of pending karma. Rahu is uncontrolled desires, unrestrained risks and unlimited illusions. Saturn is ‘limitations’ in every way possible. Both together is an uncomfortable energy.

If you have a Shapit dosh in your birth chart or even the Guru chandal combination, or any combination of Saturn, Venus, Jupiter, Sun, Mercury, Rahu and Ketu in your chart then you must be careful as long as these in-transit combinations are active in the skies. The main signs under stress are Aquarius, Pisces, Aries and to some extent Libra. So whatever they signify in your chart will also cause turmoil in your life.

Those with Shapit dosh in the birth chart will face additional severe mental stress, sleeplessness, loneliness and physical ill health. Mental instability will occur in this time. Long term relations, loves, friendships and business partnerships will break. Death of close family members, divorces or separations can occur. Legal issues, disagreements, financial losses, stalling of projects will occur, job satisfaction will not exist and home life will be strained. You will be randomly blamed for things. Some might lose their jobs or homes. In any case, something /someone very precious to you will be lost to you for ever in this time frame. And it will be something connected to your pending karma so you will most likely be powerless to stop this.

Shapit dosh in the birth chart is often missed or not given due importance. But I have observed that this one specific dosh, the ‘cursed combination’ has the potential to completely destroy the significations of the signs/ houses it affects. And it also stops the other positive combinations in the chart from giving their effect. This is all the ill-will which you have earned in your past and at its most potent. And more so in this time when Venus in Aries is mixed up in these karmic energies. Expect frustrations and sorrow in life as negative karmic fruits triggered by this dosh cannot be generally modified. And karma is on an overdrive in 2023. This will be a trying time for most of us.

As always the only solutions are Daan and Mantra. And even if you feel that your daily spiritual practice is not helping, you must continue doing it. It is in fact the only thing which is really helping! Finally if you are able to analyse yourself, your chart and your mind then do try to intelligently modify your behaviour so that you can navigate through safely in the coming time.

Guru chandal yog aspected by Saturn 2023

Jupiter is currently in Pisces (post here) and he will enter Aries on 22nd Apr 2023. With Rahu already sitting here, this will trigger a Guru chandal combination (post here) which will last until Rahu exits Aries (True Rahu – 29th Nov, Mean Rahu on 30th Oct) and moves 15 deg away from Jupiter (29th Dec 2023). Ketu in Libra will be fully aspected by Jupiter during this time. Jupiter has already entered within 30 deg of Rahu so some basic effect of the Guru Chandal has already started. And on 5th Apr, Jupiter and Rahu will be 15deg apart. This will trigger the full effects of the combination. (Eclipses occurring during this time will act as triggers for global events).

The paap kartari of Saturn and Rahu is affecting the auspiciousness of both Venus and Jupiter. And currently Venus conjoint Jupiter in Pisces (Venus exalted in Pisces and Jupiter owns Pisces) is also causing confusion. Venus will be able to give his regular auspicious blessings after 6th Apr when he exits Aries. Also the transits of Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus through Pisces and Aries during Feb Mar 2023 (also in Feb Mar 2024) are going to aggravate these problems. Jupiter will be combust, in the entire Apr 2023 intensifying the negative results.

Guru chandal yog 2023 will be fully aspected by a powerful Saturn from Aquarius. Aquarius is his mooltrikon rashi. And he will be using his intense 3rd aspect on the Guru chandal – Jupiter Rahu. Saturn aspecting Rahu is called Shapit yog /dosh, ie a cursed combination (post here). Saturn aspecting Jupiter is also an intensely karmic combination (post here). One is the lord of expansion the other is the lord of contraction. When equal and opposite forces are forced to work together in one time period there is going to be intense confusion. This aspect will continue till Jupiter leaves Aries on 1st May 2024. This year, both Saturn and Jupiter are not changing signs during their annual retrograde motion, Saturn continues in Aquarius throughout and Jupiter continues in Aries throughout without a change.

Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu – Ketu are the slow moving forces and whenever they mutually interact, conjunct, aspect etc they trigger severe karmic events. If you have any of these combinations in your birth chart, ie Jupiter – Saturn, Jupiter – Rahu, Jupiter – Ketu, Saturn – Rahu, Saturn – Ketu, then be prepared for a karmic rollercoaster in the near future. Even otherwise, everyone will see the effects of this transit combination in their lives. New babies born during this time will have this combination in their birth charts as a life time energy.

For individual charts, whichever house Aries falls in will see the full effect of the Guru chandal aspected by Saturn. You will take wrong decisions with respect to the keywords of this house, act in Adharmic ways, be cheated, or cheat others, over reach and fall flat on your face, feel hopeful but then lose it all. However if the birth chart is strong enough then you will be able to create some long term material asset using their energy. But then be careful about creating even more karmic entanglements during this time.

Jupiter is the jiv karak, ie he is responsible for maintaining life on this earth. This means that he is responsible for, peace, food, health, marriage, children, dharma etc. He is now associated closely with the Chandal Rahu. Chandal means someone who has terrifying and intense energies or has to work in places with such strange and dangerous energies. Rahu is definitely a strange and terrifying force and is very powerful in Aries. Aries is a generally good environment for Jupiter but this time with Rahu and aspected by Saturn things are not going to be peaceful, safe or conducive for life and easy living.

So during this time, expect dramatic changes in the finance systems, food production and supply systems, gold price, religious activities, spiritual practices, relationships etc. Use of drugs, intoxicants, hallucinogenic agents, addictions will increase. People will be more than ever hooked to the virtual worlds and this will have a negative impact on general mental health. Unhealthy food, fast food will be consumed in more quantities causing increased health issues. There will be a lack of jobs, lack of opportunities and overall depression as Rahu will negatively affect all the keywords of Jupiter. Something like fate itself turning against the human race.

Everyone’s analytical power, intuition, wisdom, common sense will be fascinated by Rahu and fail. Misunderstandings, mistrust, disputes, lack of coordination, loss of cooperation in expected and mistakes made in the past will haunt everyone. Even if you gain something that sense of satisfaction will be denied. And most of the gains that you get during this period will be temporary, unstable and illusory.

Saturn’s aspect will bring on the negative karmic fruits or curses which will cause more problems. Students and education will also suffer in some way. During this time religious heads might misguide or create negative emotions in their followers. Riots, civil disruptions, terrorist attacks etc can increase. Enemy nations will use covert ways of attacking. Eg using foreign funded NGOs who pretend to be helpful. Several nations will go bankrupt, including some of our neighbours.

This combination is not auspicious for Bharat. We are due for our national election in 2024 and this makes us a target. Hopefully our security systems will be ready for this. And when you vote, look at the past actions, Dharmic/Adharmic, of the candidates and ignore the promises that they make for the  future.

The  Guru chandal yog will give the following results as per the birth Moon sign.

Briefly.

Aries borns will be facing the brunt of the Guru chandal. Everything that you think is your ‘personal thing’ can cause problems for you. ie your personal health, personal environment, your personal relationships, personal finances etc. You might be shown several opportunities in this time frame, but most will be hollow on the inside. Choose intelligently. Changes on several levels are possible, eg job, business, residence, relationships etc. Income may go down or you may be unable to save money, budgeting will be necessary.

Taurus borns will face mental stress. Your elders, relatives and friends might misguide you, so do think for yourself before taking advice from others. Rest will be affected, you might feel lonely during this time and emotional health might suffer. Death/ permanent separation of at least one close relation can occur during this time frame. You might face constraints in your profession and expenses might increase. On the positive side, your enemies will be powerless and you will remain in general good health.

Gemini borns will have new people entering their lives in this time frame but not all of them will be trustworthy. Do not take up bad habits or cheat others under the influence of such friends and beware of get rich quick schemes. Temporary separation from close family members is possible. If you are planning to marry during this time, recheck everything before committing to the new alliance.

Cancer borns will suffer especially in their profession / business. Your boss will not support you and change in job is possible. Social image might be tarnished and your relationship with your father might see ups and downs. You might be required to spend time away from your family. Separation from the mother and distress sale of ancestral property and lands is possible.

Leo borns will face disputes with the elders in the family. Do not do anything which damages your reputation. Death or permanent separation of a close family member is possible. You cannot expect much support from your siblings, team-mates or stock market investments. Your wife will disagree with you so learn to be patient. Be careful when driving. Perform all your dharmic duties, eg pujas, ancestor tarpan, kuldevata pujas etc sincerely as any omission now will have far reaching consequences.

Virgo borns will feel generally hopeless. Issues in profession, business, money flow, projects etc will cause stress. Any major decisions under the influence of Jupiter in the period from Nov 2022 – Jan 2023, might be regreted now. You will question your self, your deeply held philosophies /opinions and your actions. You will feel threatened in strange ways. Health, both physical and emotional might be affected. Family life will be disturbed and there will be a distance in relationships. Selfishness/ cheating by your close family members will come to light and deeply disappoint you.

Libra borns will suffer because of the actions of their spouse and business partners. If you are planning on getting married recheck the prospective alliance thoroughly before going ahead. Business, ongoing projects, money flow will be affected. Legal issues may suddenly pop up as people will try to cheat you. You will feel unsure about your actions and self doubts will make you restless. Some negativity from your past or entities may haunt you now. Health should be a priority for you, make sure you consult a qualified medical professional as misdiagnosis is possible.

Scorpio borns will feel bold and capable during this time. And there will also be several opportunities for growth in finances, profession etc. Do not cheat anyone or act against Dharma under the influence of the Guru chandal, remember Saturn is watching. You will feel restless and want to do so much, be careful do not over reach. Rest will be affected, you might get intuitive dreams. There will be a subtle drain on your personality which you will not be aware of now. Later this will cause problems. So be reasonable about things. Your investments and efforts can go waste.

Sagittarius borns will meet many fascinating people and feel attracted to them. Do not fall for the wrong type else you will regret it later. Love matches now should be checked thoroughly to avoid disappointments later. You will feel good about everything, self confidence will be high. There will be several outlets for you to express your creative genius. Avoid risky speculations as saving money might be difficult in this time and control wasteful expenditure.

Capricorn borns will suddenly swamped with work. Especially household issues, land issues, property matters, repairs in the residence etc will occupy your mind. Your mother might demand your attention. However you will not be able to spend much quality time with your family. You might neglect your professional work or you might miss a promotion or a change in job is possible. Make sure that you get enough rest during this time.

Aquarius borns will face issues with the siblings. Resolving these will be difficult as these relatives will try to dominate or otherwise suppress you. Finances, division of ancestral property etc will be an issue. Your office teammates might try to get you in trouble or take credit for your work. Investments should be done only after careful checking and there is a possibility of losses in the stock market.

Pisces borns will again get new opportunities for work and to show their professional skills. But the office environment will be oppressive. Your finances will improve, you will be able to save money. Your family will give you importance and relatives who had broken relations with you may come in contact again. But always think on what motives they may have and do not open yourself emotionally to everyone. Do not give away your money or help your family members at a cost to yourself during this time.

If you are of a spiritual bent of mind then you can find some strength in your internal Self. In any case, daily pujas are a must which every follower of Sanatan Dharma must perform. Give yourself these 5mins daily, make it a habit, learn to invoke the higher divinity with you. This will help you cope with the vagaries of life in a more balanced way.

Remedies for the Guru chandal as aspected by Saturn are as always Mantra and Daana depending on the individual charts and behavioural changes if you are aware of what is happening to you. (index page)

Predictions for the signs from Jul 2022 to Jan 2023

I have written about the phase 1 readings for 2022 in this post. And for phase 2 in this post. The overall predictions for this vedic year, Shri Shubhakruti naam samvatsar are posted here.

The predictions for the phase three of this year, from 12th Jul to the 17th Jan 2023 will be broadly applicable when Saturn will be transiting Capricorn in the retrograde and forward motion. The outer planets, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have a more deep impact on events. So the time frames when at least two of these are retrograde will see significant events but in the background. We will become aware of their impact only when they all go forward again. In this phase 3, we will also be experiencing one partial solar eclipse, which is right on Deepawali Amavasya, the most powerful amavasya of the year which will have its own deep effect on everyone. (The true nodes are forward from Sep 29th to Oct 17th)

During this phase, the background energy is,

  • Saturn enters Capricorn from 12th Jul and is retrograde till 23rd Oct. He re-enters Aquarius on 17th Jan 2023.
  • Jupiter in Piscesretrograde from 29th Jul to 24th Nov
  • Rahu and Ketu continue in Aries and Libra. 
  • Mars is in Aries currently. He will enter Taurus on 10th Aug and go retrograde from 30th Oct till 13th Jan 2023 in Taurus/ Gemini.
  • The intermittent transits of the other graha, Moon Sun Mercury and Venus will add to the results against this background.

These are generic results depending primarily on the birth Moon sign. In case your ascendant sign is more powerful (check the Ashtakvarga scores), then you might see a mix of results. You can also combine the results by using the information for your birth Moon sign and ascendant sign.

  • Eg if your ascendant sign is Aries then this will be a physically tiring time. In this, if your birth Moon sign is Scorpio then you will be able to get through with lesser mental and emotional stress.

Aries

Jupiter in the 12th, Saturn in the 10th Rahu in 1st and Ketu in the 7th house. No major changes are expected during this phase 3. It is going to be a dull period with slow growth. Malefic effects of Rahu and Ketu will be felt and things will be stuck. Ill health is possible. Your children, spouse, siblings and in-laws will create issues. Auspicious functions or starting any new projects will be difficult. However travelling for pilgrimage will give positive results. Office work will increase, office politics and gossip will be hurtful so try to manage things in time. Promotion is not likely, expenditures may increase and savings may reduce. Not a good time to invest. Financial crunch is possible, debts may increase. You will be under both physical and mental stress. Avoid trusting others unnecessarily as you may be cheated. Saturn in 10th and Jupiter in 12th are not very helpful throughout this period. You can take up some private mediation practices as Jupiter in the 12th can support this activity. Mars in Taurus/ Gemini will cause health issues and also strife within the family and with the siblings, teammates and encourage you to engage in risky activities. But if you are able to use him when he is in Gemini then he can grant you the courage to decimate your enemies and gain in different ways, but resist from hurting or cheating others during this period.

Taurus

Jupiter in the 11th, Saturn in the 9th Rahu in 12th and Ketu in the 6th house. This period is overall better than what you were going through for the past few months. Spouse, children etc will be supportive. Auspicious functions, birth of child, new beginnings, new projects etc are possible. Issues at the workplace will reduce and you will emerge victorious in office politics. Promotion, increments, new job etc are possible. Finances will improve, you will repay your debts, investments will give good returns. You can consider investments, short and long term ones after due care. Traveling for business, pleasure or pilgrimage will be good for you. Jupiter and Saturn both are willing to support, more so when they both start moving forwards. Rahu and Ketu are also average to good. However take especial care when Mars goes retrograde/ forward in Taurus. You will be short tempered, aggressive, health issues due to heat will increase, blood pressure type of issues may be triggered so avoid risky behaviour. Mars in Gemini is also not favourable as he will trigger health issues, family disputes, excessive expenditures and risky behaviour. 

Gemini

Jupiter in the 10th, Saturn in the 8th Rahu in 11th and Ketu in the 5th house. Things will improve marginally in this phase 3. As long as both Jupiter and Saturn are retrograde you will be better situated to handle issues. Health will improve, family and friends will be supportive, there will be some stability in your life. Financial position will improve, however this is not a time for risky investments. Use this time to consolidate things in your life. Traveling for business may not give desired results but travel for pilgrimage or completing karmic pendencies will be helpful. Auspicious functions, new beginnings etc may not materialise. The time when Saturn goes forward in Capricorn will be troublesome and you should be very careful regarding your health, finances, managing family issues, office politics, etc overall issues. Be especially vigilant when Mars moves in both Taurus/ Gemini as he will trigger stress, lack of rest, health problems, risky behaviour, etc.

www.psychologicallyastrology.com

Cancer

Jupiter in the 9th, Saturn in the 7th Rahu in 10th and Ketu in the 4th house. This time you will feel that nothing is moving in life. You will feel stuck, however things will not go worse. So generally try to maintain yourself the best you can. Take care of your diet, health, finances etc. Try to keep cordial relationships with others, especially there may be minor issues with the spouse. Profession will be routine, dull, nothing much happening here. If you work hard, then a promotion or salary raise is possible. Budgeting is required as expenses will rise. Your can invest in safe options during this period. Saturn going forward is not very favourable but once Jupiter also starts going forward again you will see positivity as your 9th house again starts giving favourable results, so health, finances etc will improve. You can consider performing auspicious events, starting new projects etc till 17th Jan 2023. Use this time when both are forward to consolidate. Mars when in Gemini can cause issues related to health, irritation, overwork, lack of rest, issues with spouse etc so it is best to be alert during this time. However in Taurus he can give some profits especially when he goes forward in this sign.

Leo 

Jupiter in the 8th, Saturn in the 6th Rahu in 9th and Ketu in the 3rd house. The period when both Jupiter and Saturn are retrograde will be helpful for you as problems will reduce in intensity and you will get some breathing space. Try talking to others clearly as often helps resolve problems. Health, relationships, etc will improve because you will get the time to address these issues in your life. Things will also improve in profession and business but promotions or salary rises may not materialise. If you are jobless then you can expect a new job in this time. Financial situation will improve to some extent as your expenses will remain manageable. However investments can be risky so put your money in safe deals. Saturn in Capricorn is favourable for you but Jupiter in Pisces is not. So use the time when Saturn is forward and Jupiter retrograde to consolidate and establish yourself. Once Jupiter starts forwards he will give you at least one very negative experience. Mars in Taurus can make you irritable at work and with your friend circle unless you learn to channelise your aggression in a productive manner. Mars in Gemini can give some profits and positivity in the forward motion.

Virgo 

Jupiter in the 7th, Saturn in the 5th Rahu in 8th and Ketu in the 2nd house. You will feel stifled and dull during this phase. The positive things which were going on you will suddenly seem to stop, but they will not become worse. Self confidence and creativity may go down. Not a good time for risky speculations but money flow will be consistent. Your children, students and other creative endeavours will make you tired, you will feel all this to be more work than genuine expression of your personality. Projects may be delayed as meeting dead-lines will be difficult. Romance will take a back-seat, your significant other will cause stress and you too will cause him/her stress by being over-possessive or jealous. Your relatives and friends will try to dominate you and you might feel internally disconnected from them. Also pay attention to your diet. Do not hurt others with your speech as you can easily make enemies now.  Jupiter going forward in Nov will bring you more opportunities and life will start looking up. Now onwards you can consider new projects, etc as positivity increases. Mars in Taurus/ Gemini will create issues in your work place so try to control your temper and use the fiery energy to productive use.

www.psychologicallyastrology.com

Libra

Jupiter in the 6th, Saturn in the 4th Rahu in 7th and Ketu in the 1st house. Both Jupiter and Saturn are not very favourable but during their retrograde phase the problems they create might reduce in intensity. Your health will improve, disputes with the spouse will be resolved, finances will improve etc. Profession or business will see some growth, however over-work will remain. Use this time to recoup your energies. Once both turn forward, you will again feel the stress. Family life will be disturbed. In your office you will be a victim of rumours and gossip, be very careful and try to nip these in the bud. Avoid loose talk and remain very professional during this time. Do not invest in the stock market or in similar risky ventures and budgeting is necessary. Mars going retrograde/ forward in Taurus will be an extreme energy release in your 8th house and you must be careful during this time. Avoid all risky activity and try to perform some spiritual routine to channelise this transit Mars. Mars is Gemini will cause mental restlessness and inability to concentrate.

Scorpio

Jupiter in the 5th, Saturn in the 3rd Rahu in 6th and Ketu in the 12th house. The time when both Jupiter and Saturn will be retrograde will put brake in your growth, but things will not get worse. Minor problems will erupt but you will be able to handle them. Especially your spouse or children may fall ill or get into some situation where you will have to help them. Your friends and extended family may be supportive. Profession and business will cause you stress, but problems in this phase will be short term and manageable. However this is not a time for new projects but you can use this time to plan. Avoid over-spending and unnecessary traveling. But once both of them go forward again positivity will return and everything will start moving in a favourable direction. All that blockage or dullness that you felt during the past 2-3 months will go away and you will do well in almost every aspect of your life. However be careful when Mars transits Taurus/ Gemini as he can cause unpleasant unexpected changes in your or your spouse’s life and create sudden traumatic situations. However for Scorpio, this entire year 2022-23 is overall favourable in some way or the other, so you will be able to cope. 

Sagittarius

Jupiter in the 4th, Saturn in the 2nd, Rahu in 5th and Ketu in the 11th house. Saturn and Jupiter retrograde together will reduce the positivity that you were enjoying till now. Things will seem stuck but you still have some breathing space. Personal health and health of your family members can be an issue. Pay attention to your diet and finances too. This is not a good time to start new projects. For profession and business, there will be some slowdown and you will have to work harder. The time when Saturn is forward and Jupiter retrograde will be stressful. This will be a return of the Sade sati energies with their expected restrictive, tiring etc effects. Try to avoid family quarrels and be careful about your resources and savings. Anything cut off now will be permanently gone from your life. Traveling will be stressful. This is not a good time for investments or property dealings. Do not unnecessarily trust others as you may be cheated. Jupiter also going forward will reduce the stress but you should remain alert as long as Saturn occupies Capricorn. Mars in Taurus can help you decimate your enemies if you use him properly, however when he occupies Gemini he will have a negative impact on your relationship with your spouse, business partner or personal mediative practice.

www.psychologicallyastrology.com

Capricorn 

Jupiter in the 3rd, Saturn in the 1st, Rahu in 4th and Ketu in the 10th house. As long as both Jupiter and Saturn are retrograde, things will remain average. Sade sati continues. Profession, health, family, finances etc will remain average. But you should try to make use of this time to prepare. Try to maintain your health, finances, etc sensibly. But even during this time there will be a undercurrent of things subtly going against you. If you can understand what is happening, take immediate corrective action before things get worse. If you can perform any pujas, pilgrimages, mantra, dana etc do this during this time. Once Saturn goes forward on your birth Moon you will face the full impact of your Sade sati. And the other three are in no position to support you. This will be a significantly bad position and you should be alert in all ways. Try to take up some spiritual practice etc which will help you cope in this time. Mars in Gemini will have some potential to destroy your enemies, diseases and debts but when he is in Taurus your children and finances both may be affected.

Aquarius 

Jupiter in the 2nd, Saturn in the 12th, Rahu in 3rd and Ketu in the 9th house. Saturn retrograde will ease out things for you. The Sade sati results will continue. But then Jupiter too will go retrograde so there will be average to mixed results in this phase. There are no significant changes and life will seem dull. Family might see some stressful events and there might be a temporary resource crunch. Nothing serious but still you should budget. Investment can be thought of but in safe options. Health will be low, you might be unable to rest. In the office your team-mates might cause issues for you and you may have to face gossip and non-cooperation. Try to go for a pilgrimage type of travel in this period, it will help. But travelling for work or pleasure will be tiring. The time when Saturn is forward and Jupiter retrograde will be especially stressful. However once Jupiter goes forward you will again feel his positive effects. Then you can again try for profits through calculated risks. Auspicious activities, new projects etc can be considered in this time. Profession and business will see growth. Mars In both Gemini and Taurus will cause issues with your mother, children, finances, landed property etc and arguments with your family. Personal health can also be of concern.

Pisces 

Jupiter in the 1st, Saturn in the 11th Rahu in 2nd and Ketu in the 8th house. Saturn retrograde in Capricorn is favourable giving you a respite from the Sade sati energies. Jupiter going retrograde will add to the positivity. These past few months have been a tiring time for you on several fronts as the Sade sati energy coupled with the Janma Jupiter have been draining. Now you will get time to rest and think on what all has happened to you in this past few months. Use this time to sort out the issues and bring them to a logical conclusion. Health will improve. Social interactions will improve. Finances will be better, however spending sensibly is ideal. Invest with due care. Profession and business is going to be slightly better. Not a time to be experimental with job prospects but if you were unemployed this time may grant you a good job.  Travelling for business, tourism, pilgrimage is possible. Saturn will remain favourable throughout his stay in Capricorn but Jupiter going direct in Pisces from 23rd Nov will again trigger draining energies. So prepare yourself for a turbulent phase which will aggravate from mid Jan to mid Apr 2023. Mars in Taurus will be favourable give you courage but when he is in Gemini your mother, family, property, health, etc can give you stress. However, despite everything, Pisces still has a good chance of making use of the planetary energies in 22-23.

As always, the remedy for every sort of unbalanced energy is either,

  1. Mantra ie you use the power generated by using mantra to reduce the negative effect to the bare minimum. This can be a regular system of daily pujas, daily mantra, daily routine, daily sadhana etc or can be a one time major Anushthan which is a more intense puja involving Brahmins who help you perform it. Mantra is not a ‘prayer’ as it is commonly interpreted to be.
  2.  Daana. Here you use the power of your intention to give this unbalanced energy away to a consciousness capable of absorbing it. This imbalance is generally linked to some sort of a physical object eg sesame oil for Saturn and given away to a temple, nature or to a genuine Brahmin. Daan is not ‘charity’ as is commonly understood.
  3. Behavioural changes. This is possible for someone who has significant intelligence, deeply understands himself, analyses the situation and capable of controlling his mind enough to find a way out from the adversity before him.

The last phase of this year 2022-23 will be from mid-Jan 2023 to mid-Apr 2023 when Jupiter is in Pisces, Saturn is in Aquarius and both will be moving forward. Transits of Saturn should always be analysed in depth as he determines the intensity of karma operating on you. Since in 2022-23 Saturn has been in Capricorn, then in Aquarius, then retrograde in Aquarius, retrograde in Capricorn, forward in Capricorn and again forward in Aquarius. For the slowest moving planet, this rate of change has been very high and is evident in its impact on the world and personal affairs.
