Astrology & Vastu

As per scriptures, Pooja for Diwali is done only in Sthira Lagna (Fixed Ascendant), provided there is Amavasya. It is preferred or rather it is thumb rule that the time for Pooja should be between Sunset to Sunrise.

There are four Sthira Lagnas (Fixed Ascendants) in all i.e. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. The Amavasya this year is fro 13:01 Hours (05.11.10) to 10:21 Hours (06.11.10).

First Sthira Lagna, we will encounter in Amavasya period is Aquarius which is from 13:34 Hours (05.11.10) to 15:03 Hours (05.11.10). This Lagna (Ascendant) is not preferable, first because it is in daytime, second Lagnesh (Ascendant Lord) is in the 8^th House and Lastly; Lord of houses for income as well as wealth (the reasons for Laxmi Pooja), i.e. Jupiter is retrograde, in inimical sign as well as at Rashyanta, hence very weak.

Next Sthira Lagna (Fixed Ascendant) is Vrisha (Taurus), which is from 18:03 Hours (05.11.10) to 19:58 Hours (05.11.10). See the condition of this Lagna (Ascendant); Lagnesh (Ascendant Lord) is retrograde and in Sixth House. But the most desisting factor is Second Bhava (House of Dhana/ wealth) is afflicted by Rahu-Ketu axis, Mars as well as Saturn. What else one will require? Hence, this Lagna (Ascendant) is also rejected.

Now, we are left with Leo and Scorpio. Scorpio is next day in day in day time hence it is overruled. Now, we have Leo/ Simha. See the condition of this Lagna, which is from 00:37 Hours (06.11.10) to 02:54 Hours (06.11.10) i.e. in the intervening night of 05.11.10 and 06.11.10. Lagnesh (Ascendant Lord) is in the Third House, haqving no affliction. Lord of houses for income as well as wealth, Mercury is in Kendra i.e. Fourth House with Fourth Lord. There is affliction of Saturn on the Second House, but if we consider Chalit Kundali, from 00:37 Hours (06.11.10) to 00:57 Hours (06.11.10), it is shifted to 3^rd House and Lagnesh to 4^th house, which remocves the only affliction to the 2^nd House.

Hence, in view of above the best time for Diwali Pooja, this year, is from 00:37 Hours to 00:57 Hours on 06.11.10 i.e. in the intervening night of 05.11.10 and 06.11.10.
