Astrology Notes


Jupiter's Aspect in Vedic Astrology

By Kshitij Sharma, Jan 12, 2023

In Vedic Astrology, Jupiter is known as a "Guru" or "Brihaspati", meaning teacher or Lord of expansion. Jupiter is considered to be a benefic planet that represents wisdom, wealth, prosperity, and spiritual growth. A well-placed Jupiter with positive aspects and good dignity can bring blessings, wealth, good fortune, success and prosperity, and spiritual growth in an individual's life. Jupiter’s drishti is considered to be on the 5th, 7th, and 9th from where it is located. In order to consider any drishti, it is important to consider the exact degrees, rather than just looking at the house positions. Since Jupiter is a natural benefic, it enhances the significations of the house where it is placed in the horoscope. Further, due toContinue reading

8th House Significations

By Kshitij Sharma, Dec 03, 2022

Longevity, mode of death, hidden aspects of life and defeat are looked at from the 8th house. The 8th house also deals with intrigues and scandals (due to the hidden element), hidden enemies, difficulties, obstructions and impediments and unhappiness from sins of the past life. The 8th house is also closely associated with marriage and family. It is the house of the in-laws. Given the “marak” nature associated with the 2nd house, the 8th house is marak for spouse in general. Longevity: The nature and strength of the 8th lord in the horoscope is indicative of longevity along with the ascendant lord. Interestingly, the strength of the 10th lord is also seen for longevity.

Strength vs Nature of Planets

By Kshitij Sharma, Oct 12, 2022

In Vedic Astrology, almost in all English books, the nature of the planet and its inherent qualities and the strength of the planet is confused. The avastha of the planet (which dictates the strength) is confused with its ability to do good or bad in the horoscope. According to the ancient texts, the nature of the planet is divided into benefic and malefic. Benefic planets (Saumya grahas) are Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. These indicate favourable, positive and beneficial behaviours. On the other hand, Malefic planets (Kroora grahas) are Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. These planets indicate unfavourable, negative, destructive, fierce and aggressive behaviours.  Similarly, in a specific horoscope, the nature of the planet is modified (to a certainContinue reading

Restarting the Astrology Blog

By Kshitij Sharma, Oct 05, 2022

Over last few years, I have been very much away from Astrology and have only found time to do one off consultation. Covid took a toll on a lot of our day to day timetables. We got disconnected from the world. The daily schedule was thrown off. The lines of work from home, education, taking a clean break from one activity and to start the other were blurred. However, I think my bigger problem is Twitter. I got addicted to Twitter both for my personal communication with the world as well as for Astrology front. Speaking with the world through twitter is an art, but it is very different kind of art as compared to blogging.   For Twitter, itContinue reading

Monthly Predictions July 2020

By Kshitij Sharma, Jun 28, 2020

I apologize for not being able to publish monthly predictions on the website for the past few months. There are two main reasons: The lockdown and work from home have put pressure on everyone. Employees need constant guidance. What is usually a 5-minute face to face conversation in person extends to a 30-minute phone call. This effectively reduces efficiency and work output although everyone is spending much more time working. There have been certain incidents in my life that have indicated that dasha periods and transits put together are more important rather than just looking at transits. Such monthly predictions are called as “entertainment” by some famous Vedic astrologers. Hence my request to all of you is to understand yourContinue reading

Monthly Thoughts - April 2020

By Kshitij Sharma, Mar 21, 2020

The monthly horoscope for April 2020 is not being presented this month. The country and the world grappling with fears of COVID-19 and things around us are shut down. A lot of us are working from home and maintaining social distancing to weed out the virus as soon as possible. Others are, well being top category morons, and are moving around like nobody’s business. The need for the hour is for everyone to look inwards and work with the government in tackling the crisis. I decided that it is better to reflect than give you advice on real estate, job problems which you aren’t anyway going to use. A lot of people ask me if I had predicted the virusContinue reading
