Varuthini Ekaadasi 2022 - fast that gives merit of a penance of many years!



Dear Members:



The auspicious Varuthini Ekaadashi (Chaitra Krishna ekaadashi) falls on April 26, 2022. It is to be observed on the same day by everyone throughout the world.

Glory of the Varuthini ekaadashi


The glory of the Varuthini Ekaadashi has been explained in the Bhavishya uttara puraaana in the form of a discourse between Yudhishtira Maharaaj and Lord Krishna.



On a specific request from Shri Yudhisthira, Lord Krishna explains that whosoever observes a complete fast on this sacred day has his sins completely removed, obtains happiness, and achieves all good fortune. Fasting on Varuthini Ekaadasi makes even an unfortunate woman fortunate (There are some horoscopic combinations in a female chart - like Visha Kanya yoga, vaidavya yoga, vandhya dosha, etc. that can spoil family happiness and bring much ill luck; Lord Krishna's saying that this fast will make even an unfortunate woman fortunate refers to such horoscopes. So, this ekaadasi fast on Varuthini ekaadashi can be suggested as remedy for such horoscopes). Lord Krishna further says that this ekaadashi has the potential of freeing a soul from the miseries of repeated rebirth.



Various kings like King Maandaatta, Dhundhumaaraa, etc. have been benefitted by this. King Mandaattaa obtained liberation; King Dhundhumaara - who suffered from leprosy as a result of curse from Lord Shiva was freed from it.



Whatever merit one obtains by performing austerities and penances for ten thousand years is achieved by a person who observes this Varuthini ekaadashi properly.



The method of observing this ekaadashi



The following things should be given up on the Dashami thithi (the day before the fast) - eating on bell-metal plates, eating any kind of urad-dhal, eating red-lentils, consuming honey, eating in other's houses, conjugal relationships.



On the day of ekaadashi, one should observe fast (complete fast is recommended), and listen to Shri Hari's stories from the mouth of spiritual persons, or engage oneself in Divine Contemplation quietly. One should avoid speaking ill of others (even sinners should not be spoken about badly on this day), keep oneself ritually clean, and spend the day in Divine Worship and contemplation. [My notes: Those who cannot fast completely should at least avoid eating beans and rice/ whole grains on this day, and should just consume fruit juices/ milk without honey].



On the Dwaadashi thithi, again one should avoid eating in bell-metal plates, eating urud-dhal (black-gram), hard exercises, eating more than once, having oil bath, shaving body, face, or head, and eating in other's home. [Eating in other's home refers to eating outside; home of parents, in-laws, daughter/ son, disciple's house/ Guru's house, close friend who is alike oneself in observance of spiritual duties are not considered other's houses as per shastras; so, one can consume food in these places as long as the food has been prepared as per ritual conditions of purity].



One who remains awake on this ekaadashi night and meditates upon/ worships Lord Janaardhana will nullify all sins of previous birth and will attain Supreme Abode of Lord Vishnu.



Lord Krishna says that listening to/ reading the glory of this Varuthini Ekaadashi with devotion is equivalent to the merit obtained by gifting 1000 cows!



May our members observe this holy fast and become more lucky, and also become blessed enough to attain Ultimate Salvation by the Grace of Shri Hari Vishnu.



Subham Bhavantu!



Blessed be.

Sani Peyarchi - Saturn's transit into sidereal Aquarius on April 29, 2022

SANI PEYARCHI EFFECTS– April 29, 2022 to March 29, 2025.



Saturn – the planet of karma and life lessons shifts into Kumbha Rashi (sidereal Aqurius) on January April 29, 2022 and will transit this rashi between April 29, 2022 to July 12, 2022, and again between January 17, 2023 and March 29, 2025.

5th June 2022 to July 12, 2022 – Saturn retrograde in Aquarius.

From July 12, 2022 to October 23, 2022 – Saturn retrograde in Capricorn.

From January 17, 2023, Saturn again shifts into Aquarius and remains in that rashi till March 29, 2025.

So, for persons of all rashis, the Saturn transit results between July 12, 2022 and January 17, 2023 will be similar to those experienced in the period prior to April 29, 2022, and this phase between July 12, 2022 and January 17, 2023 should be used to finish unfinished agenda of the past, resolve issues that may have arisen in the recent few years, and to prepare for the full transit impact of the Saturn transit after Jan 17, 2023.....be it bracing oneself for handling challenges, or preparing oneself to make the best use of the positive outcomes that Saturn’s transit may facilitate depending on one’s vedic Moon sign.

Let us see the basic impact of the Saturn transit for various signs below.  Please note that these transit influences can be moderated to some extent by the placement of planets in your natal chart, the ashtaka varga considerations unique to each chart, dasa-bhukti cycles, etc – these should be judged on an individual basis by an expert astrologer whose advice you regularly seek for guidance. The indications given below will still be valid to a great extent and given for remedial guidance (since Moon influences the mind, these transit influences from Moon sign will show the impact of the transit on your psyche and what you can or should do to make the best out of the influences). Hope our readers will make a judicial and intelligent use of this write-up and get benefited.


Mesha rashi – (MOON SIGN – Aries) – Vedic stars of Ashwini, Bharani, and Krittika – 1st quarter


Saturn shifts into the 11th house from your Moon sign. This is a very positive transit influence suggesting better progress, comforts, and recognition in life.  Friends/ relatives who have been out of touch for a while may come back with increased affection and bonding towards you.  You will manage to identify new ways of boosting your financial situation, and if you are engaged in business activities, you will enjoy better visibility and enjoy greater profits.  Dreams that you have been nurturing for a long time in the past will come closer to realization. Ailments that might have been troubling you for a long time in the past will get healed.  Romance-related luck will be great for single natives of this sign.  For those in established relationships, there will be chance to rekindle the joys of love, and to develop harmonious dynamic with loved ones.  Those involved in yogic/ spiritual practices will have better chance of attaining perfection and siddhis if they persist hard enough along those lines.


Saturn attains Loha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron elemental status) during this transit; for a good Saturn transit, Loha Moorthy lakshana is not that bad, since Iron is the element ruled by Saturn (for a tough Saturn transit, or for transit of other planets, Loha Moorthy lakshana can be challenging). BUT, it will still translate as “good effects of this transit can be felt only if the natives take hard efforts, and make no unnecessary mistakes, and most importantly...go about their activities systematically and with patience/ perseverance.”


 Remedies: No intense remedies needed for your sign.  However, you can enjoy the benefits of this positive transit even better if you indulge in service or charitable activities of your choice.  There will be chance to mix service with pleasure (like deriving joy by visiting spiritually potent places, serving genuine spiritual persons and enjoying the Nectar of spiritual suggestions from them, and enjoying the company of high-minded persons whom you may meet while involving yourself in volunteering activities for welfare of society).


Rishabha rashi (Taurus – Moon sign) Vedic stars of Krittika (2, 3, 4), Rohini, Mrigasira (1, 2)


Saturn shifts into the 10th house from your natal Moon sign on April 29, 2022.  This is a somewhat sensitive transit – where more than normal hard efforts will be needed to maintain good tempo of progress at work.  Some of you may even be faced with stalemates at work – due to difficult attitude of superiors or associates.  Handle such situations patiently; if someone is purposely irritating you, the best way to handle them is to act as if you are not irritated and going about doing your allocated duties with a smile!  This can be a spiritually beneficial exercise for you too – converting a potentially difficult situation into a penance; Universe does not leave penances unanswered. Good results will come later to you if you keep doing your duties patiently and without losing temper.  Health of elderly relatives may cause concern to many of you.  Expenses may mount uncontrollably – so prioritize your resources intelligently.  Those in family life must pace their activities wisely so that time can be allotted for spending quality moments with loved ones.  Work hard for your progress and for family’s welfare, but do not ignore the emotional needs of close family members in the process!  Success will be lonely and emotionally unfulfilling if you don’t have your loved ones around you to share your joy.  So, treat family commitments as something as important as your social and professional commitments. On the positive side, those looking for emigration to lucrative places abroad, or have been working hard without good results and expect to consolidate themselves in their current position will find planetary energies supporting them in the venture.



Since Saturn has attained Rajata Moorthy status (Silver Elemental status), there is potential for watering down the challenging impact of the transit and turning the obstacles on your way into opportunities if you work smartly and plan intelligently for your future. The few jerks you may suffer now and then cannot be avoided....but treat it as the karmic cost paid for holistic progress in life and keep moving forward with positivity to get the best outcomes under this transit influence.


April 2023 to April 2024 can be a period of positive possibilities for many persons of this sign.


Remedies:


If elders (especially parents) fall sick and pass through a difficult time from a health-point of view, consider donating iron/ stainless steel utensils to charitable institutions praying for their welfare.


Those who can afford it can donate air coolers/ fans or repair windows / air-vents in temples/ charitable institutions.


Challenges at work can be reduced by offering a small portion of your earnings to charities catering to physically challenged or aged persons.


Try to walk at least for half an hour daily in open spaces with a meditative frame of mind to keep your cool and gain energy from the Universe to tackle all your challenges.


Recite the mantra “DattaatrEyam Mahaa Yogin mama chitham sthirii kuru” (meaning “Lord DattaatrEya – the Great Yogi – please help me in having a stable and firm mindset) 12 times daily and 108 times on Saturdays after lighting a prayer lamp at home; this will help you to approach any challenge with the right attitude and determination which can help in successful negotiation of matters.


Mithuna rashi – (Vedic Moon sign – Gemini) Vedic stars – Mrigasira (3, 4), Arudra, Punarvasu (1, 2, 3)

Saturn’s tough ashtama-sani period ends by this transit of Saturn in to Kumbha rashi (though flashes of the Ashtama Sani period may be felt again between July 12, 2022 to Jan 17, 2023, and the ashtama sani influences will be totally neutralized after January 17, 2023).  While this – by itself – can be a great relief, the transit of Saturn through 9th house cannot be said to be a great transit influence either.  There could still be tension/ uncertainty at work that could trouble you. You may encounter minor obstacles/ delays when trying for foreign assignments or while trying to get visa clearance/ work-permits abroad. Health of father or elderly relatives could cause concern for many of you.    You must remember that patience and maturity are needed in your domestic interactions and interaction with neighbours/ associates to avoid unnecessary controversies. Some natives of this sign may face hard-to-please superiors or become victims of abuse of official power on the part of some enforcement authorities. Ensure that your slate is clean and no one can put you in a tight spot in any way. Don’t get tempted by the example of those who seem to breach minor rules and get away with it – since your Saturn transit influence sets you up for being the one who gets caught for transgressions. Those pursuing higher studies/ research work must avoid losing focus even shortly during their course-work. Don’t grudge the long hours you need to spend or the repeated work that your mentors make you go through while finalizing the thesis....it will all be a karmic investment and come as good luck later on. For the present, grind your teeth and bear the tedium without losing patience in any way.


Though you are clear off the tougher Ashtama Sani influence, since Saturn has attained Copper Elemental status (Thaamra Moorthy Lakshana) during this transit period between April 29, 2022 and July 12, 2022, you may still encounter certain challenges/ obstacles/ delays in your path – just that, it will all end well if you are methodical in your approach and remain patient through thick and thin.


In the Saturn transit phase between January 17, 2023 and March 29, 2025, Saturn in Kumbha rashi attains Golden Elemental Status (Swarna Moorthy Lakshana) which makes it a much better period for you. The period between second half of 2023 and first half of 2024 will be the best period for you during this transit period and you must time important moves in your life during this time-window.


Remedy: 


Meditating on Lord Hanuman carrying the Sanjeevini Mountain and chanting sthothras in His Honour on Saturdays will help you in turning all obstacles into opportunities besides helping in reducing the impact of this transit on health of self and elders in family.


Offering perfumery (be it perfumes like attar, sandalwood oil, etc., or pure lobhan) to temples of Lord Hanumaaan or Lord Venkateshwara on Saturdays, OR, offering punugu paste to Lord Bhairava on Ashtami thithis will help in maintaining good relationship with superiors, mentors, supervisors, or authority figures (this remedy can be used if you are involved in legal issues or have to face any sort of enquiry in the course of your work).


Youngsters of this sign can benefit by prostrating before elders in the family regularly and by trying to be of service to aged persons / challenged persons (like massaging feet of elders, helping them with their errands, gifting lift in car/ bike to old persons or physically challenged persons you find on the road, etc.).


Kataka rashi (Vedic Moon sign in Cancer) Vedic stars – Punarvasu (4), Pushya, Aslesha


Saturn shifts to the 8th house from your Moon sign on April 29, 2022 heralding the notoriously tough “ashtama sani” period (except for the period between July 12, 2022 and Jan 17, 2023 when Saturn shifts back into your 7th house, Ashtama sani will be felt till March 29, 2025). You need to keep a check on your words, your spending habits, and on your family interaction dynamics.  Any carelessness or rudeness on your part could sour relationship with others.  There is the risk that others may misunderstand your motives baselessly too…so, exercise extra-care in the tone of your speech with others – even if you mean well, inappropriate/ harsh tones may give the wrong impression that you are trying to undermine others and may invoke their enmity.  Do not brush off any warning signs of ill-health under the carpet as there is the risk of letting the ailments develop into chronic ones if you are careless in health management during this period. Do not hesitate to undergo aggressive medical interventions if situations require so.


Some of you may encounter unforeseen jerks in the rhythm of things –like being forcefully displaced at work, or encountering unforeseen challenges.  Patience and systematic approach will help reduce the negative outcomes to a great extent.


Steer clear off controversial persons and practices (including trusting heterodox charlatans who masquerade as Gurus and suggest unethical or dubious approaches). At the same time, avoid unnecessary suspicion on genuine persons who may be acting with your best interests in mind. Ancestral property issues may leave a bad taste in relationships if you don’t handle disagreements in that regard diplomatically. Be most careful in your relationship dynamics with in-laws (these include spouses of one’s siblings) avoiding letting them walk all over you, and at the same time, giving them space for their own views/ preferences too.


Saturn attains Iron Elemental status (Loha Moorthy Lakshana) during the transit phase between April 29, 2022 and July 12, 2022for you. This suggests that you must be most careful in your choices/ activities during this period. On the positive side, this is a good time to handle vexatious issues in life by head-on handling or aggressive measures.


Saturn will attain Rajata Moorthy Lakshana (Silver Moorthy Lakshana) in its transit phase between January 17, 2023 and March 29, 2025. This will be a relatively better period.


Within limitations imposed by tough Ashtama Sani influences, the first half of 2023, the second half of the year 2024, and the first quarter of 2025 could be relatively better periods for you.


Remedy: Offer paadukaa pooja to the sandals of reputed Saints (or family Gurus) with Faith. Offer physical service in temples/ jeeva Samadhis or during religious festivals by way of keeping the premises clean, gathering firewood or breaking big logs to offer in havans, helping in crowd management, or in distribution of prasadam to devotees.


Offer perfumery and herbs to temples or those performing major Fire Austerities. This will help in pre-empting the efforts of your rivals to give you a bad name (safeguarding reputation and shutting down unsavoury gossips against you).


If there are ailments afflicting self or paternal relatives, offer vennai-kaappu (anointing butter) and Tulasi garland to Lord Hanumaan on Saturdays praying for relief. Pray to Lord Bhairava, Kaali, Hanumaan, or Lord Garuda (whoever is your Favourite Deity) before taking out vehicles for a drive, and be a defensive driver so that you can avoid accidents that sometimes happen due to the error of the other driver on the road.


Avoid raising major loans with blind optimism; be ultra-conservative in your approach to financial matters.


Repressed desires/ pains may rise up now; handle those responsibly knowing very well that what we do/ say will unfailingly have an impact on our lives, and our choices will shape our Destiny.




Simha rashi – (Vedic Moon sign – Leo) – Magha, Poorvaphalguni, Uttaraphalguni (1)


Planet Saturn transits the 7th house from your natal Moon sign from April 29, 2022 (except for the period between July 12, 2022 and Jan 17, 2023 when Saturn shifts back into your 6th house) which is a mixed influence – in your case, it is a tougher transit compared to the influence you enjoyed when Saturn activated the 6th house from your rashi.  Interaction with spouse should be diplomatic, and if there are legal issues that you face, those must be handled with alacrity.  Many of you could endure some sort of relocation influence or reorientation requirements due to force of circumstances. 


Be patient while handling life-issues, and avoid explosive/ egoistic arguments with spouse or relatives from spouse’s family during this Saturn transit period.  Health of spouse should also be carefully monitored to nip any potential problem in the bud.  Try to handle irritable situations with a calm mind, and you will do okay.


Be very careful while forging new partnerships, and vet your partner’s background carefully before taking them on board your business operations. Don’t be suspicious but have a healthy work-protocol of cross-checking the version of partners or associates diplomatically so that you can remain in control of the business and can take timely course-correction if that becomes necessary.


Since Saturn has attained Loha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron Elemental Status) during this transit, the challenging influences indicated can be felt more sharply unless you handle things with patience and alacrity.


On a positive note, since Saturn is the ruler of the 7th house from your Moon sign and placed in own sign during this transit, natives of this rashi who are under favourable directional influences can find unexpected positive developments in relationship matters – be it resolution of long-standing issues in domestic life, or finding a suitable partner in case of single natives – especially between April 2023 and April 2024.


Remedies: Try to organize a recital of Vishnu Apaamaarjana sthothram or Naaraayaneeyam if there are any health issues to close family members due to the influence of the transit.


Donate small amounts to temple musicians, or for repair of musical instruments used in temples, or offer prayer bells to temples with the mental affirmation “I am offering this service to the Divine; just like music during the poojas adds to the positive vibes of the temple, may harmony and happiness be my lot in my own life too.”


If there are any vexatious issues with partners/ spouses, recital of Sundara Kaandam or organizing such a recital will help.



Kanya rashi – (Vedic Moon sign -  Virgo) – Vedic stars Uttaraphalguni (2, 3, 4), Hasta, Chitra (1, 2)

Saturn moves into the 6th house from your Moon sign on April 29, 2022 and remains there for major part of the time till March 29, 2025 (except in the time-window between July 12, 2022 and January 17, 2023 when Saturn moves back into the 5th house from your Moon sign).  This is considered to be a good transit influence.  Things that have been holding you back and not allowing you to enjoy the full extent of success as deserved by you will get resolved positively.  You will be able to brush off opposition and obstacles with ease if you keep working on your goals with a positive mindset.  This transit influence will give you opportunity to resolve pending issues, legal matters, and health issues in the family positively.


Long-delayed auspicious events in lives of children will manifest as a factor of the positive transit influences on your chart. Family members listening to your good advice will benefit out of your wisdom and good-luck.


This Saturn transit gives you scope to establish more close and equitable dynamic with siblings, for resolving disputes, for amicable settlement of ancestral property matters, and spiritually – for getting initiated into new spiritual routines and benefiting out of such practices.  Make the best use of this influence.


First quarter of 2023, second half of 2024, and first quarter of 2025 will be specially auspicious periods for your sign.


Saturn during this transit attains Thaamra Moorthy Lakshana (Copper Elemental status) for your sign which helps you to enjoy at least 50% positive intensity for the good results expected out of this transit.


Remedy:  Since Saturn’s transit is generally auspicious for you, there won’t be need for intense remedies for your sign.  However, you may try the following remedy for task-fulfillment if you are required to handle sensitive assignments or face any make-or-break situation at work.....


Recite the mantra “Om Kreem Kreem Kreem Kaalikaayai sarva kaarya siddhidhaatryai namah” 32 times before initiating major projects or attending legal cases.


Performing Sumangali Praarthana (Venerating women ancestors of the family) or kanyaa pooja (Honouring an innocent young female child treating her as Goddess Baala Tripurasundari Herself) before major ventures will help in smoother completion of your tasks.



Tula rashi – (vedic Moon sign – Libra) – Vedic stars Chitra (3, 4), Swaathi, Vishakam (1, 2, 3)

Saturn shifts into the 5th house from your natal Moon sign on April 29, 2022 and remains there for major part of the time till March 29, 2025 (except in the time-window between July 12, 2022 and January 17, 2023 when Saturn moves back into the 4th house from your Moon sign). Some of you may be shifted to unfavourable locations at work causing disruption in family life (like staying away from spouse in a different location).  Those in love may find that things are not as smooth as they may expect them to be when it comes to formalization of the relationship.  Hurdles to union with loved ones must be handled with diplomacy and without losing temper as impulsive decisions could complicate matters further.  Those having adolescent children in the family must handle them with maturity and patience – acknowledging that the child is turning into an adult gradually and granting the freedom to go with it while at the same time maintaining a healthy vigil over the child’s activities to ensure that the child does not indulge in wasteful or harmful distractions. Those who are invested in share markets must keep a close watch on their portfolio and take remedial steps with alacrity in consultation with competent advisors.  Risky speculative activities are a strict no.


Saturn attains Swarna Moorthy Lakshana between April 29, 2022 and July 12, 2022, and will attain Rajata Moorthy Lakshana (Silver Elemental status) in the period between January 17, 2023 and March 29, 2025. Since Saturn’s Moorthy Lakshana is auspicious during the various phases of the transit, the challenging impact can be managed if you make the right moves and curb tendencies towards risk/ pain avoidance (make up your mind to face things head-on and not avoid situations just to avoid possible pain/ risk).


Remedies:  Taking part in volunteer work to clean old temples will help in augmenting the good luck factor that will be necessary to handle certain sensitive situations that you may encounter due to this Saturn transit.


Offering punugu (civet) coating to Bhairava on Ashtamis, or Sandawood paste or oil for thirumanjanam for Anjaneya temples/ Balaji temples on Saturdays will ensure family welfare and help in reducing financial uncertainties.


Offering a flute or Naathaswaram or any wind-instrument to temple musicians (or sponsoring playing of such instruments during poojas in temples, or offering financial incentives to temple musicians who have rendered long years of service in temples) could be powerful remedies to side-step professional issues , if – Heavens Forbid – they arise.


If your family has been holding on to properties that have been given away to charities or have dues to deities/ temples, you must take efforts to set matters right and pay back your dues to avoid bad-luck in the lives of your children under this transit (this includes situations where your ancestors may have wrongfully held on to a property without giving the due share to other kinsmen....you must try to set the balance right by giving such relatives/ kinsmen their rightful dues to avoid bad luck in your life).


Vrischika rashi – (vedic Moon sign – Scorpio) Vedic stars – Visakha (4), Anuradha , Jyeshta


Saturn moves into the 4th house from your Moon sign on April 29, 2022 and remains there for major part of the time till March 29, 2025 (except in the time-window between July 12, 2022 and January 17, 2023 when Saturn moves back into the 3rd house from your Moon sign). – known as Ardha Ashtama sani influence – a somewhat challenging aspect.  Some of you may consider relocation from your current place, or maybe shifted to far off places at work.  It may be difficult to keep in close touch with your family members to the extent desired.  Peace of mind could be hampered due to situations beyond your conscious control.  Avoid complicating things by losing your temper or by getting involved in issues which could have been side-stepped.  Health of mother or maternal relatives could cause concern for some of you.  Students of this sign must work harder to get good results.  Stick to the straight-forward path in all matters – even if you see others around you bending rules or taking liberties with regulations since your time is sensitive. Analyze house-related documents carefully, and if you have been lax in securing the documentation pertaining to your residence, do so without further procrastination to avoid unnecessary complications later. 


Since Saturn attains Rajatha Moorthy Lakshana (Silver Elemental status) in its transit through Kumbha rashi between 29th April 2022 and 12th July 2022, and in the phase between 17th Jan 2023 and 29th March 2025, it will attain Golden Elemental status (Swarna Moorthy Lakshana). Since the elemental statuses happen to be good, the challenging impact of this transit will be greatly muted, and there will be scope for positive outcomes in the period between July 12, 2022 and January 17, 2023, in the second half of 2024, and the first quarter of 2025.


Remedies suggested:  If you find yourself being implicated in any unnecessary issue (without any justification on the part of others to do so), offer vadamaalai (garland of vadas/ sweets) to Lord Hanumaan idol in a temple and recite Hanumaan Langoola Astram mantra 3 times on a Saturday.


Arrange for vennai kaappu (anointment with butter) to Lord Hanumaan’s Idol and recite the mantra “Vaidya Veera AnjanEyaaya namah” 108 times in the temple praying for good health (if there are health issues in the family). 


Recite the mantra “Shreem Raamam Kousalyaa Aananda vardhanam Sitha priya naayakam saranam mama” whenever time permits for peace of mind and family welfare.


Dhanus rashi – (Vedic Moon sign – Sagittarius) Vedic stars – Moolam, Poorvaashaada, Uttaraashaada (1)


Saturn shifts into the 3rd house from your Moon sign on April 29, 2022 and remains there for major part of the time till March 29, 2025 (except in the time-window between July 12, 2022 and January 17, 2023 when Saturn moves back into the 2nd house from your Moon sign).  This gives you relief from the tough sade-sathi influences you have been enduring so long in the past.  You will find that the restrictive patterns and hopeless situations that have been tormenting you will gradually recede to the background allowing you to plan with optimism for the future.  Relationship with associates at work and siblings at home can improve.  Minor obstacles could be experienced by siblings in their lives which you can help with (and this would strengthen the familial bonds and also give you merit that can translate in to good luck in your own life).  Your self-confidence would improve and clarity would emerge in situations that were nebulous prior to this period.  Those who have endured obstacles to their higher education would find things improving gradually.  Journeys would be profitable and if you had been having issues regarding smooth settlement abroad, there is hope of resolution in your favour in the near future.


The transit influences are by and large good for you.


Saturn attains Loha Moorthy Lakshana (Iron elemental status) during this transit. For a good Saturn transit, Loha Moorthy lakshana is not that bad, since Iron is the element ruled by Saturn (for a tough Saturn transit, or for transit of other planets, Loha Moorthy lakshana can be challenging). BUT, it will still translate as “good effects of this transit can be felt only if the natives take hard efforts, and make no unnecessary mistakes, and most importantly...go about their activities systematically and with patience/ perseverance.”


Remedies: The transit influence of Saturn is generally positive for you – and no intense remedy is needed.  However, if health of father or paternal relatives causes concern, or you have some minor issues of understanding with father or mentor figures, or experience some challenges or inexplicable delays regarding visa or such other formalities pertaining to foreign stay/ travel, recital of 36th Chapter of Sundara Kaandam (or organizing such recital through priests) would offer relief in that regard.


If there are problems pertaining to promotion at work or improving turn over in business activities, donating a prayer bell to a Hanumaan temple, and offering laddoos to monkeys would help.



Makara rashi – (Vedic Moon sign – Capricorn) Vedic Moon stars – Uttaraashaada (2, 3, 4), Sravana, Dhanishta (1, 2)


You continue to be under the grip of Sade-sathi even after this transit.  You are entering the last phase of sade-sathi from April 29, 2022. Arguments with close relatives could spoil peace of mind.  Do not let any misunderstanding linger on – but rather try to discuss peacefully and reconcile with close people so that the bitterness does not engulf your life unnecessarily.  You should be careful about your diet and sedentary habits; don’t ignore these due to other preoccupations because unless your health is secured, you cannot stand up to the challenges that life throws at you, and above all – we work to sustain life and add value to life – and not the other way round!


Be extra-careful regarding financial matters and documentation pertaining to your assets.  Do not ignore any notice from government authorities – even if you are not in the wrong in any way.  Respond promptly and in a timely manner establishing your position firmly to safeguard your interest and to prevent unnecessary harassment that may happen if you let things take their own drift without positive intervention from your side.


Avoid egoistic approaches when discussing things with others – especially regarding controversial subjects and where people have grievances against you. If you have been wrong, accept it gracefully instead of trying to indulge in diversionary tactics since that will make the other person hold serious grudge against you, and worse, the karmic backlash from the Universe for such an approach will be severe under this transit influence.


Avoid risky financial dealings and trusting anyone on face value.  Be conservative in your decisions as far as feasible. Avoid cursing anyone, telling unnecessary lies, or using abusive words, as these can further impact your luck negatively.


Saturn during this transit attains Thaamra Moorthy Lakshana (Copper elemental status) between April 29, 2022 and July 12, 2022. Patience and methodical approach will be needed in all matters during this period. It will attain Swarna Moorthy Lakshana (Golden Elemental status) in the period between 17th Jan 2023 and March 29, 2025; so, much of the tough impact of this transit can be watered down by following the Golden Rule of ethics – being kind to others, accepting your mistakes gracefully and doing what you can to set right errors of the past, and by being ethical in all dealings.

If there has been an instance of you or your immediate ancestors having adverse possession of a property (like being a tenant and refusing to pay rent per agreement to the owner, or refusing to vacate the premises though the owner lawfully requires you to do so, or if kinsmen have been cheated off their rightful share of property by your ancestors and you hold possession of the entire holdings in a way that is detrimental to the rights of others), give up such possessions to the rightful owners.


Regular performance of pradosham worship, or worship of Lord Dharma Shasta (or His Forms like Kutty Aandavar) on Utthiram nakshatra (Uttaraphalguni) days/ Hasta nakshatra days will help you handle the challenges of Sade-sathi positively.


Meditate on Lord Hanumaan and offer dhaanam of lobhan, Mehendi seeds, or small sandalwood chippings to any temple or learned vedic priest before long journeys (if you are travelling abroad for long-term settlement or on major assignments).


Kumbha rashi – (Vedic Moon sign – Aquarius) Vedic stars (Dhanishta 3, 4, Satabisha, Poorvabhadra 1, 2, 3)


You are entering the second phase of Sade-sathi from April 29, 2022.  Here Saturn in sade-sathi triggers your natal Moon sign.  This is known to be a very tricky period causing lot of challenges.  Peace of mind could be the primary victim of the influences.  Do not treat any health symptom lightly as lax attitude to health can cause deterioration that would take longer to heal.  Try to understand the real motives of those around you – as there is the danger that you may misinterpret the motives of those who actually try to help you while you may trust those who are actually exploitative.  Try to look at things from a larger perspective instead of having a limited vision.  Hard work is needed to get good results during this period.  Avoid deputing important tasks to others unless such deputation of assignments is a part of the work protocol (i.e. never avoid responsibilities due to laziness or risk-aversiveness).  Stick to laid down procedures and rules, and you will do fine.  In family relationships as well as work-place interactions, try to have a karma yogic perspective – of doing duty as per one’s role perfectly and not being attached to the outcomes.  Surprisingly, if you develop such an attitude, you will find that results comes smoothly! This – in essence – could be your most powerful remedy – that of doing your best and leaving the rest to Divine Providence.


Avoid judging others harshly without proper justification because that would increase the risk of your being misjudged or treated harshly in turn! Sade-sathi is about karmic balance; this is a time when you are paying your karmic balance of the past; if you add to the past bad karma by present-time indiscretions, the troubles would increase manifold.  So be patient, calm, and objective in your approach to life.


Saturn attains Rajata Moorthy Lakshana (Silver Elemental Status) during the period between 29th April 2022 and 12th July 2022; this can water-down the impact of sade-sathi influences.


In the period between Jan 17, 2023 and March 29, 2025, Saturn will attain Thaamra Moorthy Lakshana (Copper elemental status). Handle things with more patience and with a yogic detachment (doing the best but without binding one’s psyche with expectations regarding the outcomes) during this period.


Within limitations imposed by Sade-sathi, natives in the middle-ages of their lives and those running auspicious dasa-bhuktis can enjoy reasonable progress in the period between April 29, 2022 and April 2023.


Remedies:


Offer seva (physical service in some form) to any place of worship.


Serve elders in the family with affection and respect (treating them as if they are God-Incarnate and are the channels through which you can serve God). 


If situations in the family seem too tough, and you are unable to take decisions regarding some crucial issue (where every choice seems to have its share of challenges), arrange for decorating any Amman temple (Mother Goddess Shakti in any of Her Forms) with Vetti Ver, or such other fragrant herbs traditionally used in abhishekams and Deity decorations.


Visiting Jeeva Samadhi of Saints regularly can help you to secure their Blessings and indirectly help you to cultivate the fortitude necessary to handle tricky issues in life.


Meena rashi – (Vedic Moon sign – Pisces) – Poorvabhadra 2, 3, 4, Uttarabhadra, Revati


Saturn – which was transiting the auspicious 11th house from your Moon sign, shifts into your 12th house on April 29, 2022 and will remain there for major part of the period till March 29, 2025 – heralding the beginning of sade-sathi influence for you (except between July 12, 2022 and January 17, 2023 when Saturn will re-trigger the auspicious 11th house from your natal Moon sign).  There could be increase in expenses, disturbance to sleep pattern in some way, and subconscious anxiety due to this influence. Hospitalization of self or close relatives is a possibility for many of you. So don’t be lax in health matters in any way. Single natives of this sign must avoid unnecessary mental hang-ups or over-expectations from potential partners as this could unnecessarily delay settling in domestic life.  On the positive side, if you have been planning for a trip abroad and have not been able to do so, this period would give you such opportunities.  Avoid spending money on unnecessary channels as that could eat into the contingency funds you maintain for emergencies, and then you would be left defenceless when tackling sensitive financial situations.  Those involved in service professions will do better than others.  Since Saturn rules the 12th house of your rashi, and is transiting its own sign in this phase, this transit of Saturn can even bring you life-changing insights and positive karmic resolutions, and unexpected grand victories in life (due to subtle Vipareetha Raaja yoga by name Vimala Yoga arising out of 12th lord triggering the 12th house). BUT, for this Vipareetha Raaja yoga to kick in, you must first be ethical in your approach to situations, and also be ready to spend on dharmic causes/ essential matters without scrimping on those in any way (like paying for services offered by tutors, mentors/ spiritual advisors, health-care professionals, etc.; whenever you need advice/ help, you must approach the right professionals who can help without letting monetary considerations/ mental blocks/ reservations to block your approach to such professionals).


The things to guard against during this transit are –

a)     over-spending (especially ego-spending or emotional-spending – where you spend to feel good – but without any actual practical purpose being served)….instead divert your spending along altruistic channels as an alibi.


b)     Unhealthy sleep patterns. To prevent this, try to pace your work activities intelligently so that you don’t end up staying late handling sensitive subjects that will keep your brain triggered and won’t let you rest in peace.  Try to finishing tackling of crucial issues at least 2 hours prior to the time you intend to go to sleep, and avoid taking issues with you to the bed!


c)     Behind-the-screen or unethical moves – these could backfire big way!


d) Procrastination .....delaying important things being preoccupied with mundane/ everyday grinds! Timely advice/ help from others should be sought without waiting for the “right time to come.”



Remedies: If there are health issues that trouble you, or a close relative without being resolved by conventional medical treatments, recite Hanumaan chaalisaa 11 times on a Thursday and offer 11 unhusked coconuts to any Hanumaan temple.


Meditate on Lord Krishna in Reclining Pose and recite “Ksheeraabhdhi saayii Bhagawaan Yoganidra Paraaya namah” within the mind 12 times before going to sleep to ensure peaceful sleep.


Offer sandalwood paste to tail of Lord Hanumaan (in a picture at home in your pooja place, or in a temple where they may permit touching of idols) praying “Apaara Karunaa MoorthayE, Mahaa Veeraaya, Raama Dhootaaya sarva graha dOshaani nivaaraya” 108t times on Saturdays.


Avoid over-expectations in job and domestic front – we all think we deserve more than we get, BUT, we don’t know!  So, take opportunities as they come instead of letting them slip by in the hope that something better will turn up if we wait!  As long as what you are offered is in the ball-park of what one can expect per one’s caliber/ professional situation (considering the macro factors and trends also into account), we must go with what life offers us – and should wait only if there is a huge and irrational mismatch between what is offered and what is deserved.


Special austerities planned on Sani-Peyarchi day at my residence:

Special austerities are planned in connection with Saturn transit on April 29, 2022.

We plan to perform Mahaa Mrityunjaya homam, Pasupatha Astra homam, Agorastra homam, Raama Parivaara homam, Venkateshwara Vijaya Homam, AnjanEya Moola mantra homam, and Sani Gayathri and Moola mantra homam.


Those born in Rishabha, Mithuna, Kataka, Simha, Tula, Vrischika, Makara, Kumbha, and Meena are under challenging Saturn transit influences as may be seen above, and can benefit by remedial homams done on that day. Those who wish to take part in these as part-sponsors may please write to my email-id: dakshinastrologer@rediffmail.com with the subject-line “Sani peyarchi 2022 remedial request”.  Will suggest the modalities of participation as reply mail.  Regular clients/ disciples who have been participating in various austerities in the past can directly remit  Rs.1880 (rupees one thousand eight hundred and eightyonly) or equivalent in US Dollars in favour of my icici bank account the details of which you may have with you, and send me the intended the beneficiary’s name, gothra, star and rashi details to my email-id.


Please offer at the rate of one part-sponsorship for EACH person for whom you want the remedial sankalpam to be done (i.e. if you have family members born in the rashis mentioned as requiring remedy, offer one sponsorship for each...@INR1880 (rupees one thousand eight hundred and eighty only) for each person whose rashi is afflicted).  For the family members born under rashis which are not impacted by the transit, parihaaram is not needed, and so they can be included in the general sankalpam of the homam for no extra-cost....


IMPORTANT: Please note that we won’t be shipping Prasad or Holy Ash through mail and taking sankalpa in your name during the performance will be deemed to be in-absentia participation and the karmic benefits would accrue to you due to vedic procedures involved in the austerity.


Due to current corona-induced situations, the homams are done in-absentia for everyone (i.e. the homams will be done at our residence, but without letting anyone participate in person, but we will take sankalpa on behalf of the beneficiary and pray for them in-absentia).



Best regards,

Blessed be.

Pandit R DAKSHINA MOORTHI.
