Paasaankusa ekaadasi - October 19/ October 20, 2018


Paashaankusha ekaadasi falls on October 19/ October 20, 2018 this year.

Schedule of observance of this austerity:

This fast is to be observed on October 20, 2018 throughout the world EXCEPT in regions observing Pacific Standard Time of USA and Canada, and Hawaii time zone.

Those living in Hawaii Time zone must observe this on October 19, 2018.

Those living in regions falling under the PST must observe this on October 19, 2018 if they adhere to Smaartha traditions.  Vaishna ekaadasi for people living in this region is only on October 20, 2018.

Form of Shri Vishnu to be worshipped on this day - Lord Ananta Padmanaabha (see the picture above of Trivandrum Ananta Padmanabha swamy).

Importance of Paashaankusha ekaadasi

Paashaankusha ekaadasi will help in removing all sins just like any other ekaadasi. Apart from that, one who observes Paashaankusha ekaadasi will be able to realize all his/ her heart-felt dreams, and enjoy other benefits like freedom from vices (addictive behaviours of any kind that are detrimental to our well-being - both physical and spiritual), freedom from chronic karmic diseases, and finally moksha (liberation from cycle of births at the end of this incarnation). So, irrespective of what your goal in life is - whether it is dharma (great goals that have tinge of duty-consciousness in them!), artha (money), kaama (mundane desires like progenic bliss, good family life, etc.) or Moksha (Final Liberation from cycle of births), this ekaadasi will aid you in realization of that goal.

Brahma Vaivarta Puraanaic accounts attribute the merits of this Paashaankusa ekaadasi observance as equal to that acquired by performing numerous yagnas! Performing social service of some kind, or helping other souls in distress on this day is believed to help in realization of one's own true spiritual self.

Maybe, you may clean the street in which you live, and gain merit out of it (you can make sweeping the street as a spiritual activity by inwardly visualizing as if you are clearing your mental impurities also while outwardly you are cleaning the impurities on the street; pray to God that just as you are cleaning the street outside with the broom, the merit acquired by this social service should give you the will power to sweep your subconscious off sinful thoughts/ impure vaasanaas of the mind)....Just one idea of what sort of service you can do on this holy day!

May our members observe this ekaadasi and become recipients of Divine Grace.


Blessed be.
Pandit R DAKSHINA MOORTHI.

Jupiter transit into sidereal Scorpio - Vrischika rashi - on October 11, 2018


JUPITER TRANSIT INTO VRISCHIKA RASHI – OCTOBER 2018

Dear All:

 Jupiter enters sidereal Scorpio sign (Vrischika rashi) on October 11, 2018(due to different in siddhanta calculations, vaakya panchangams had indicated the transit on earlier date – October 4, 2018, which even some temples have observed as Guru peyarchi day; BUT, the transit on October 11, 2018 is more correct by using siddhanta calculations and per astronomical indications). I will comment on the Elemental status, and general auspiciousness/ challenging nature of Jupiter transit for various rashis so that those born in rashis that are under challenging Jupiter transit influences may perform appropriate remedies and brace themselves up, and these indications are applicable to everyone. 

As these results are moderated by other influences to some extent – like ashtakavarga bindus in Tula rashi in Jupiter’s ashtakavarga in your natal chart, and placement of other planets in your birth chart, it is best that you should consult your family astrologer or other expert astrologers to know how exactly the actual results may manifest for you specific to your birth chart.

For Mesha rashi natives (those born under Ashwini, Bharani, and Krittka 1st padam stars), Jupiter transits the sensitive 8th house from your rashi. This is productive of unnecessary issues in life that could threaten loss of peace, danger of ill-health to self or close relatives, and last-minute reversals that might take success away from you. Much care is needed while interacting with members of opposite gender as unnecessary issues may crop up due to that (some natives of this sign may experience unwelcome and unsolicited advances from others at work).

Those who lose hope, faith, or patience will expose themselves to the negative planetary influences. Take care of your health and health of close relatives, and avoid unnecessary litigation/ arguments. Exercise abundant caution while driving vehicles, trekking through treacherous terrain, and while travelling through unknown places. Do not take any mandatory compliance issue (like submission of IT returns, or whatever compliance document is applicable to you) for granted during this sensitive period.

Since Jupiter rules the 9th house for your rashi, you should take extra care regarding health of elderly paternal relatives, and also be diplomatic in your interaction with authority figures; avoid unnecessary subservient attitude – but at the same time avoid being unnecessarily explosive in your interaction pattern....strike a Golden Mid-path.

Jupiter during this transit attains Thaamra Moorthy Lakshana (Copper elemental status) for your rashi.  This indicates that the challenges influences are likely to be felt to a great extent. Patience, perseverance, and prayers will be effective shields against the tough planetary impact on your life.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between 29th March 2019 and 23rd April 2019: During this period, Jupiter moves into the 9th house from your rashi giving temporary relief from the toug influences. Trace good effects can be experienced during this period. For hard-working natives of this sign, it is possible to enjoy unexpected positive outcomes like sudden gain in business activities, recognition, or good fortune to undertake spiritual journeys and get blessings of spiritually advanced persons. These are transient effects, and so you should still continue to be cautious in all activities, and avoid building up unqualified optimism/ stretching your luck too far.

REMEDIES SUGGESTED:

Recite the 36th chapter of Sundara Kaandam of Shrimad Valmiki Ramayanam on Thursdays.

Offer honey to Lord Shiva on Pradosham days (you may give it to the priests doing the abhishekam requesting them to use the honey for temple-worship purposes as they deem fit) praying for Divine Assistance and Protection.

Whenever possible, try to take part in collective homams - especially those in Honour of Lord Dakshinamoorthi, Lord DattatrEya, Lord Hayagreeva, Lord Narasimha, or Lord Sudarshanaa. This can be a powerful shield to your well-being.

A simple day-to-day remedy will be leaving clean drinking water outside your living spaces for the benefit of thirsty travellers/ animals (those who can afford to do so can involve themselves in distribution of buttermilk or lemon juice outside temples on festive occasions, or sponsor facilities for clean drinking water in charitable institutions/ path through which pilgrims travel to places of major spiritual/ religious interest).

For Rishabha rashi natives (those born under Krittika 2, 3,4 padams, Rohini, Mrigasira 1, and 2 padams), Jupiter transits the auspicious 7th house from your rashi. Wedding bells ring for eligible single natives of this sign, and those already in a wedded life will find that dynamics with spouse improves significantly. Minor differences that possibly created an unnecessary psychological wedge that reduced mental intimacy with spouse can be sorted out amicably if you approach the issues with objectivity. Others will warm up to you now and there is scope for improving your societal standing.

Since Jupiter rules the 8th house with respect to your rashi and is in the 7th house in transit, there is potential for gaining much by indulging in joint prayers/ spiritual exercises with your spouse – if they are also similarly inclined. Activities like going on pilgrimage, involving in couples’ meditation, mutual healing exercises (like sending positive vibes to each other telepathically to empower each other), are some of the occult experiments you can try in the company of your spouse and get good results during this period.

Overall, this is an auspicious transit for you, and reduces the impact of Ashtama sani influence for your rashi to a great extent.

Jupiter attains Swarna Moorthy Lakshana (Golden elemental status) in the transit phase between 11th October 2018 and 29th March 2019. During this phase, the positive results indicated above will be more pronounced.

In the period between April 23, 2019 and November 4, 2019, Jupiter attains Thaamra Moorthy Lakshana (Copper elemental status) when the good effects could be somewhat muted.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 29, 2019 and April 23, 2019: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into the 8th house from your rashi. This could be a period of temporary set-backs or challenges. Be cautious in all your activities during this period. On the positive side, this is a good period for trying to sort out pending ancestral property issues, or reviving prayers to family deities that have been discontinued in the recent years due to ignorance or practical limitations.

Remedies: No remedies needed for your sign as this transit is auspicious for you.  However, you may recite portions of Sundarakaandam on Saturdays, Sundays, or Thursdays praying for auspicious vibes in the family, and as a prayer for the welfare of others in the family who may be having tough planetary cycles impacting their lives.

For Mithuna rashi natives (those born in Mrigasira 3 and 4 padams, Arudra, Punarvasu 1, 2, and 3 padams), Jupiter transits the sensitive 6th house from your rashi. Health needs to be tended carefully, and you must avoid unnecessary arguments with anyone. Legal issues must be preferably handled by negotiations rather than with a "gladiatorial fight to the end" attitude. Avoid lending/ borrowing huge sums based on over-optimistic projections and play it safe in money matters.

In the period between October 11, 2018 and March 29, 2019, Jupiter attains Rajata Moorthy Lakshana (Silver Elemental status), and in the phase between April 23, 2019 and November 4, 2019, it attains Swarna Moorthy Lakshana (Golden elemental status). These influences water down the tough aspects of this Jupiter transit to some extent for you.  Thus, there could be occasional unexpected victories coming your way if you keep working hard and in a planned manner.


Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 29, 2019 and April 23, 2019: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into the 7th house from your rashi. This could be a time when sudden positive developments can be there in personal life matters. Also, those whose spouses are under favourable directional/ transit influences may bring in their quota of goodluck, and the collective influence could lead to auspicious occasions in the family for some of you.

Remedies: 1) Visualize on Lord Hanumaan crossing the Ocean it a single leap and reaching Lanka before beginning major tasks.

2) Pray before a picture depicting Lord Hanumaan holding Sanjeevani mountain if you or someone in the family becomes sick.  Alternatively, you may contemplate performance of Dhanvantari homam for relief if the situation is very critical.


3) Performance of Surya namaskaaram on a daily basis will be another potent remedy for health, and recital of Aditya Hrudayam thrice and offering arghyam to Lord Surya Narayana on Sundays will help in overcoming the obstacles on your path and in securing good professional prospects.

For Kataka rashi natives (those born in Punarvasu 4th padam, Pushya, Aslesha),Jupiter transits the auspicious 5th house from your rashi. Those of you who have been waiting desperately for conception may find that Heavens open their Benevolent Grace on you this year. This is a great year for planning your long-term investments, for getting initiation into mantra deekshas, for visiting ascetics, Holy Men and gaining their Grace, and for embarking on ambitious ventures.

However, since Jupiter attains Loha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron Elemental Status) during the phase between October 11, 2018 and March 29, 2019, it markedly reduces the good impact of this Jupiter transit. You may be able to enjoy manifest good outcomes only if you take concentrated efforts along right channels and are patient and thorough in your efforts.  Impatience or carelessness could lead to less than optimum realization of good luck.

Jupiter attains Rajata Moorty Lakshana (Silver Elemental status) between April 23, 2019 and November 4, 2019 which allows for better enjoyment of the positive impact.  

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 29, 2019 and April 23, 2019: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into the 6th house from your rashi. This is a time when there could be sudden onset of some challenging circumstances in your life. Health should be carefully tended to during this phase. Do not raise major loans, or lend large sums without surety during this phase. Keep your temper under control. Remember that this is only a temporary phase of challening patterns; instead of over-reacting to situations, wait for these tough influences to pass-over.

Remedies:

As Jupiter’s transit is generally good for you, no specific remedy is required; BUT, you can enhance the good effects by regular prayers and by practicing meditation/ yogic exercises or by undertaking intense austerities that will help you to tap your inner powers and manifest positive outcomes in your life.  Visit to kshetras (spiritually potent places), getting initiated into new mantras by competent spiritual persons, observing theertha snaana austerities (those who can manage the trip may observe Thaamrabharani pushkaram in the banks of the river Thamrabarani that courses through Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu), and signing up for advanced training courses pertaining to your field of activity all could enhance your good luck further.

For Simha rashi natives (those born in Magha, Poorvaphalguni, Uttaraphalguni 1st padam),Jupiter transits the 4th house from natal Moon sign. This is not an auspicious transit. Since 4th house indicates homeland/ residence basically, the inauspicious effects may manifest as unsettled situations at home, possible relocation or confusion regarding one's prospects (like dilemma regarding one's roles at work place), or simply lack of domestic peace at home.

In the phase between October 11, 2018 and March 29, 2019, Jupiter attains Thaamra Moorthy lakshana (Copper elemental status) for your rashi. This suggests that patience and perseverance will help you to manage things tolerably well.

In the phase between April 23, 2019 and November 4, 2019, Jupiter attains Loha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron elemental status) for your rashi which is a markedly tough influence. This is a time when your karma may catch up with you. Do what you can to set right errors of the past, and accept things as they come – all the while motivating yourself that things do look tough – but they won’t be tough forever. Avoid major risks, and unnecessarily over-ambitious activities of all kinds.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 29, 2019 and April 23, 2019: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into the 5th house from your rashi. This could be a temporary period of relief for you. This is a good time to schedule prayer activities, or to plan your moves to salvage tough situations. Those who have interview/ competitive situations during this phase have better chance of success. Agreed that this is a very very short time-window, BUT, all the same, it does give a period of relief – to catch your breath, and recoup your energies to handle the challenges of the tough Jupiter transit influences before and after this phase.

Remedies: a) If relationship with mother/ maternal relatives is strained, OR, if health of mother/ maternal relatives seems to be impacted, recite the mantra "Om Dhoomra varnaaya hum maatru vatsalaaya GanapathayE namah" 32 times till situations improve.

b) Light ghee lamp with a wick made of banana fibres or lotus fibres on Thursday evenings at home and pray for family welfare.

c) Offering milk for abhishekam to Lord Skanda temples on Tuesdays or Shasti thithis can help you to enjoy good academic prospects (applicable for students of this sign appearing for major exams this year).

d) Those who suffer from disputes pertaining to landed property, or are troubled by domestic disputes that spoil peace of mind, can get relief by offering Paanakam to Lord Narasimha on Swathi nakshatra days or Pradosham days.



For Kanya rashi natives (those born in Uttaraphalguni 2, 3, and 4 paadams, Hasta, and Chitra 1, 2), Jupiter transits the 3rd house from natal Moon sign. This is an inauspicious transit - but where danger lurks ONLY if you take wrong decisions or make unethical moves. You must remember that Universe will give you chance to redeem yourself and correct your errors, but if you stick on to egoistic ways and continue with wrong choices, you may manifest your own doom. Those who are patient, and ethical by nature have nothing to fear from this transit influence except that there could be varying degrees of anxiety due to situational factors.

In the phase between October 11, 2018 and March 29, 2019, Jupiter attains Rajata moorthy lakshana (Silver Elemental status) for your sign. This markedly reduces teh challenging influences of the transit. Courageous moves, and deployment of “Dhaana” strategy (among Saama, Dhaana, Bedha, Dhanda list of strategies) during this period.

Since Jupiter attains Thaamra Moorthy Lakshana (Copper elemental status) in the phase between April 23, 2019, and November 4, 2019, patience and good planning are needed to side-step avoidable issues. Anxiety element could be high - so take conscious efforts to induce calmness in your psyche (by meditation, venting out with stable-minded well-wishers, getting suggestions from spiritually evolved persons, etc.).

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 29, 2019 and April 23, 2019: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into the 4th house from your rashi. There is no significant relief accruing due to this transit....BUT, those natives of this sign under favourable directional influences may have sudden breakthroughs in career during this period. For the others (who have tough directional influences also per their individual charts), no significant relief is seen even during this temporary transit phase.

Remedies:
Offer turmeric water/ rose-water for abhishekam in any Goddess temple on Ashtami, or Pournami thithis.

Recite the mantra “Hreem Durgaayai sarva klEsha naasinyai namah” 18 times daily as a protective talisman, and help you to handle anxieties in your life with equanimity.

If there are minor issues of misunderstanding with siblings, recite the mantra “Om Bhraatru vatsalaaya Lakshmanaagrajaaya Raamaaya namah” 36 times to maintain family unity.

Offering water boiled with few dried ginger pieces and cardamom to Bhagavatas singing keerthanas on God during occasions like Raadha Kalyaanam/ Seetha Kalyaanam, or to vedic pandits will be a good remedy for you this year.

For Thula rashi natives (those born in Chitra 3, 4 padams, Swathi, Visakham 1, 2, and 3),
Jupiter transits the 2nd house from natal Moon sign. This is considered a good transit which is auspicious for new acquisitions, resolving family issues, enjoying respect for one's words, benefits arising out of recital of auspicious mantras, and generally a positive trend in life.  Jupiter attains Rajata Moorthy Lakshana (Silver Elemental Status) - which is 80% auspicious.  So, there is potential to enjoy the good results indicated by the transit to a great extent.  Auspicious events in the family that have been inexplicably delayed may finally happen this year.

Remember that this transit makes it auspicious for you to gain through your words, control of mouth (implying regulation in speech and diet), by learning new slokhas/ mantras, and by spending money on auspicious charitable activities to earn karmic reward points too:)

When you perform austerities, or perform dhaan (charitable offerings) do it with a sense of detachment and with the understanding that you are just paying back some karmic debt with all these, and don’t expect immediate results.  Such matured approach and spiritual attitude will attract the blessings of noble souls that will help you to enjoy the potential good effects of this transit.

In the phase between October 11, 2018 and March 29, 2019, Jupiter attains Swarna Moorthy Lakshana (Golden Elemental Status) which enhances the already positive impact of the transit for you.

In the phase between April 23, 2019 and November 4, 2019, Jupiter attains Rajata Moorthy Lakshana (Silver Elemental status) which is slightly less in positive intensity compared to the earlier phase, BUT nevertheless still positive. So the good influences continue though with – maybe – slightly reduced positive intensity.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 29, 2019 and April 23, 2019: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into the
3rd house from your rashi. This could be a slightly anxiety-inducing phase especially for those who are awaiting important info or planning on expanding their activities and waiting for official clearances. Health of siblings may cause concern to some natives, while less-than-ideal relationship dynamics with siblings can cause emotional pain for some natives of this sign during this phase. Thankfully, this is only a short-duration of challenging influences amidst an otherwise positive period of Jupiter transit influence for you.

REMEDIES:  Recite the mantra “Om Achyutaaya namah Anantaaya namah GOvindaaya namah” 36 times daily and consume water placed before your pooja place visualizing positive strength and healing energy entering you through that blessed water. (If possible, you can immerse Tulasi leaves in such water; this can be shared with all close relatives to ensure good health in the family).

Recite the mantra “Om Raama Dhootaaya kaarya saadhakaaya asakaaya sooraaya HanumatE namah” when you face challenges to your progress, or you feel that some mediation is needed to resolve conflict with powerful personages.

Try to use the postive impact of this transit by “blessing” everyone you love – let the power of your words energize them and bring them goodluck when they battle against the odds of life.


For Vrischika rashi natives (those born in Visakham 4, Anuradha, and Jyeshta), Jupiter transits the rashi itself which goes by the technical name of "Janma Guru." This is reputed to give stressful situations in life, and situations where you need to take objective decisions to march ahead in life. Often allusion is made to "Janma Guru caused exile of Shri Raama" - and it is observed that many people do relocate to distant lands or experience some sort of adverse transfers or challenging situations under this transit influence. 

Jupiter attains LOha Moorthy Lakshanaa (Iron elemental status) in its transit phase between October 11, 2018 and March 29, 2019 for your sign.  This indicates that you must not lose patience under any circumstance and cultivate perseverance even if situations are very trying and people around you seem to do you injustice. Such acceptance of situations with a calm mind will help you to burn your praarabhda karmas and with time you will be able to neutralize the setbacks effectively and regain much more than what you lose during this period.  But, if you lose patience and act out of vengeance or anger, things could go from bad to worse; please remember this and strategize yourselves.

In the phase between April 23, 2019 and November 4, 2019, Jupiter attains Swarna Moorthy Lakshana (Golden Elemental status) which suggests that things that threaten to destabilize you will actually turn turtle and end to your advantage if you handle them well. So, while challenges will remain the same due to Janma Guru transit, you may be able to extract positive outcomes. Those looking forward to getting onsite opportunities or those planning to emigrate to greener pastures may enjoy good luck during this phase of Jupiter transit.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 29, 2019 and April 23, 2019: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into 2nd house from your rashi. This is a time when you may be able to extract significant advantage from others by intelligent speech. Financial luck will also be good during this short period of temporary positive influence of transit for your sign.

Remedies: Visiting places where siddhas/ saints have attained Jeeva Samadhi and lighting prayer lamp praying that they should show you the right way will be auspicious for you. Offering coconut water for abhishekam in these places will help in giving peace of mind if your mind is troubled by inexplicable anxieties that seem to have no rational reason behind them.

If you are in public life, try indulging in works of public utility like installing clean drinking water dispenser for pilgrims, sponsoring abhishekams during auspicious religious occasions, helping poor people to construct sanitation facilities, cleaning tanks/ reservoirs, etc. can help you. These meritorious deeds will shield your prospects- especially where there is threat to existing positions (like falling out of favour of influential leaders resulting in danger of losing one’s position).

Don’t jump into conclusions in any matter. Be patient with everyone, accept things as they come, and then form your strategies as “reaction” to situations. Don’t exacerbate issues by speaking out of turn, or trying to aggressively push matters as such moves may fire back on you this year.

For Dhanus rashi natives (those born in Moola, Poorvaashaada, Uttaraashaada 1st padam), Jupiter transits the 12th house from rashi (Viraya Guru - Jupiter transit productive of expenses/ wastage/ losses, and possible loss of position). However, such setbacks will manifest only if you insist on egoistic persistence with your plans. Otherwise, this will just be a period when expenses might mount - but on auspicious matters. You may not be able to avoid certain wasteful journeys or frustration in efforts, but that won’t affect your prospects too much except being an inconvenience for the smooth flow of life. Do not resign from a current position in haste or on egoistic compulsions voluntarily - because such a move can lead to prolonged anxiety regarding finding an alternative placement under this tough transit influence. You must spend on essentials but avoid luxurious expenditure, and be ready with reserve cash to face exigencies in life. Health could be somewhat below par.

In the phase between October 11, 2018 and March 29, 2019, Jupiter attains Swarna Moorthy Lakshana (Golden Elemental status) which reduces the impact of the negative transit influence to a great extent, and many natives of this sign could have auspicious spendings -like wedding of children, or purchase of assets where free money gets locked as valuable assets!).

In the phase between April 23, 2019 and November 4, 2019, Jupiter attains Loha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron elemental status) which is a time when you must be careful in all activities, and avoid wasteful expenditure.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 29, 2019 and April 23, 2019: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into your Janma rashi. Some of you may get transfered to distant places all of a sudden. Protect your professional prospects by being methodical and above-board in all professional dealings during this sensitive period.

Remedies: Offering tender coconut to temples on Tuesdays will help in clearing unnecessary mental confusion and controlling wasteful expenditure.

Offer utensils for abhishekam (like conch shell/ panchapaatra set) on your birthstar day to any temple.

Organizing a saadhu/ Braahmana Bhojana in a Saint's samaadhi or a vedic paatasaala (Braahmana here means someone who lives by vedic/ religious precepts; a person who is Brahmin by birth alone can't be considered Brahamana for this purpose!) can help reduce potential for losses and unnecessary expenditure (when money is spent on worthy charities, that will be an alibi, and help avoid losses/ wastage).

For Makara rashi natives (people born in Uttarashada 2, 3, and 4, Sravana, and Dhanishta 1, 2 padams), Jupiter transits the auspicious 11th house from rashi. This is a very positive transit indicative of gains from various quarters, support of companions/ society for your good activities, ability to relate on a friendly basis with everyone, gains through elder siblings and business activities, and your good luck will shield your children and ensure positive developments in their lives. Those who have been searching for suitable houses/ apartments to purchase but could not get positive outcome in the past will find things moving in their favour. This is also a good period for those trying to cash on ancestral property matters too.

In the phase between October 11, 2018 and March 29, 2019, Jupiter attains Thaamra Moorthy Lakshana (Copper elemental status). So, things could be slightly delayed before positive outcomes manifest. Don’t give up in haste thinking your efforts are not yielding outcomes during this period; just keep at it till results come in your favour.

In the phase between April 23, 2019 and November 4, 2019, Jupiter attains Swarna Moorthy Lakshana (Gold Elemental status) during this transit for you. So, there is a good possibility of enjoying a high intensity of positive results due to this transit.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 29, 2019 and April 23, 2019: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into the 12th house from your Janma rashi. Expenses may sudden mount up during this period. Elderly relatives may need to be hospitalized due to sudden developments. Keep your wits about you, and handle things as they come. This is only a temporary phase of short duration – so don’t panic or lose heart!



Remedies: Recital of Vishnu Sahasranaamam on Saturdays, worship of Lord Hanumaan on Thursdays, and special prayers to Lord Ganesha on Chaturthi days will help you to enjoy the full benefit of the auspicious Jupiter transit for your sign (these remedies are mainly to insure against sade-sathi influences spoiling the otherwise good Jupiter transit).

For Kumbha rashi natives (people born in Dhanishta 3, 4, Satabisha, Poorvaphadra 1, 2, 3), Jupiter transits the sensitive 10th house from rashi. There could be uncertainties in professional matters, possible loss of professional dignity in some way (either loss of face in some way in controversial situations, or adverse transfers from prestigious roles to insignificant operational duties), and karma will catch up with you (some setbacks/ difficult situations arising out of your own activities/ choices; positively, if you have been working hard and if the previous 9th house transit of Jupiter failed to reward you, karmic reward can come now and you may be in for pleasant surprises!). 

Jupiter attains Rajata Moorthy Lakshana (Silver Elemental Status) in the period between October 11, 2018 and March 29, 2019 - which markedly reduces the negative impact of the transit and gives potential for positive developments for those who have been working hard and conscientiously.

In the period between April 23, 2019 and November 4, 2019, Jupiter attains Thaamra Moorthy Lakshana (Copper elemental status) which indicates that you may find things uphill in most matters. Take things one step at a time, and remember that even a journey of many miles is completed by taking one step at a time. Don’t look for fast moves and “get rich in a single day” ideas. Planetary influences force you to take the ladder rather than the elevator now... So, go with them and gain by that experience!

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 29, 2019 and April 23, 2019: During this phase, Jupiter shifts temporarily into your 11th house providing scope for sudden gains and also for enjoying satisfactory social interactions (including addition of new friends to your inner circle of confidants).

Remedies: Recite the mantra “OM Krishnam vandE Jagat Gurum, maargam darshaya darshaya swaaha” whenever you feel uncertain about career decisions (i.e. if career matters look confusing and you are asked to make a choice – where every option has its share of pros and cons and your decision could make or mar your future, use this mantra to get clarity and right intuition regarding the best decision under the circumstances).

Recite the mantra “Om Ganaadipaaya namah sarvakaarya saadhakaaya Dhoomra varnaaya hum” 36 times daily to side-step the tough impact of Jupiter’s transit, and turn challenges into opportunities.

If possible try to have a recital of Bhagavat Geetha organized at your place (recital of the Moola grandha in original Sanskrit form along with elucidation of the meanings by a good scholar). At the end of such a performance, do paada pooja to the priest/ teacher and sprinkle the paada-sparsha jala (water that is left after pouring on the feet of the Guru) on your head to invoke positive energies that will help you to handle all your challenges without losing confidence.

For Meena rashi (People born in Poorvabhadra – 4, Uttarabhadrapada, and Revati) Jupiter transits the auspicious 9th house from your rashi. This is an auspicious transit that favours positive relocation influences (like if you have been planning on relocating to a place for better prospects), initiation into new spiritual routines/ deekshas, long journeys, joining higher education courses, and you may enjoy increased self-confidence in all that you do. Natives of this sign who have been trying unsuccessfully for on-site assignments may get their lucky break this year.  Relationship with father or other mentor figures will be smooth and their blessings/ words of wisdom will prove invaluable in boosting your prospects.

In the phase between October 11, 2018 and March 29, 2019, Jupiter attains Loha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron elemental status). So, the positive influences are slightly reduced, and the full potential can be realized only by taking intense efforts. If you just drift through life without taking intense efforts or if you are careless, the good impact of this positive transit will be around 20% of its positive potential or even less! So, ensure you augment the positive transit influence by prayers, charitable activities, and by enlisting the support/ blessing of elders.

In the phase between April 23, 2019 and November 4, 2019, Jupiter attains Rajatha Moorthy Lakshana (Silver Elemental Status) which helps you to enjoy the positive influences described for this transit to satisfactory levels.

Effects of atichaaram (accelerated advance transit) of Jupiter between March 29, 2019 and April 23, 2019: Jupiter moves through the 10th house from your rashi during this period. You need to be extra-careful regarding all professional matters during this period. This is a time when great gains as well as sudden downfall are possible – the outcomes will be dependent on how careful and efficient you are in handling the challenges placed before you during this period.

One important thing.....Saturn during the initial period of the transit, and later on – Saturn and Ketu cause Vedha to the transit influences for your sign. So, there could be blockage of good effects to a marked extent. You need to clear off obstacles from your way, and handle challenges before you can taste the sweet flavour of success in life in spite of the general transit influences being good for you.

Remedies:

Recite the mantra “Om Vakrathundaaya hum” 108 times daily (or at least on days when you initiate major projects) for by-passing the vedha influence of Saturn, and the somewhat unfavourable elemental status attained by Jupiter in its transit and to enjoy the good influences of the transit.

Meditating on the lives of Saints, and getting blessings of elders will help you to enjoy the good effects promised by the transit after by-passing the vedha effect and less-than-ideal elemental status of Jupiter during this transit.

Feeing fishes in temple ponds can be a good remedy to draw positive luck your way and to by-pass the blockage of positive transit influence for your sign.


SPECIAL JUPITER TRANSIT HOMAM AT OUR RESIDENCE

Special homams connected with the transit are planned at our place on October 11, 2018. Those born in Mesha, Mithuna, Simha, Kanya, Vrischika, Dhanus, and Kumbha rashis have tough transit influences due to this Jupiter transit and may benefit by a remedial prayer on the transit day. So, natives born in these signs may try to avail the remedial homam (either with me or with any other suitable priest whose expertise and mantraic powers you can rely upon based on your intuition), or at least do simple prayers at your own place as suggested in the remedial indications for your sign in this write-up to protect yourselves against the malefic indications of the transit.

Though Meena rashi natives have good transit influence, since the good effects are blocked by planetary vedha, it could be beneficial for natives of Meena rashi also to have remedial prayers done to enhance their good luck. So, these natives may take their individual call based on own intuition regarding performance of remedies.

Will be offering oblations with mantras in Honour of Lord Dakshinamoorthi, Lord Hayagreeva, Lord Narasimha, Lord Dhanvantari, Lord Dattatreya, Lord Hanuman, Sapta Rishis, and end the havan with specific mantras in Honour of Lord Devaguru Brihaspati during these homams.

At the end of the homam, I intend to do Brihaspati sthothra and Brihaspati kavacham (Shield of Jupiter) recitals.


The suggested offering for part-sponsorship to take part in that homam performance is Rs.1500(rupees one thousand five hundred only) or equivalent. Those who are interested in participating in these for remedial purposes may write to me at: dakshinastrologer@yahoo.co.in with details of the name of the person for whom the remedial performance is desired, their nakshatra, and gothra. Please write "Jupiter transit 2018" in the subject line for my easy tagging of such mails.  Regular clients/ disciples who have participated in austerities under our guidance in the past may make the remittance in favour of our bank account as usual and keep us informed about the same. I will try to include all those who approach me with the prayer request till night of October 10, 2018 (India time) - but please try to confirm your participation as early as possible, as it makes it easier for me to update the sankalpam sheet appropriately and plan the logistics.


Please note that I won't be sending prasad/ holy ash by post due to ritual purity considerations of the holy articles.  My sankalpam on your behalf during the homam is deemed "in-absentia" participation, and the karmic benefits of the performance will accrue to you.  Sign up for participation as a part-sponsor in the homams only if the above condition is acceptable to you.

May Divine Grace bless us all.


Best regards,
Blessed be.
Pandit R DAKSHINA MOORTHI.
