Total Lunar Eclipse- Impact on India
At the fag end of the year 2011, we are going to see the astrological phenomenon called Total Lunar Eclipse (पूर्ण चंद्र ग्रहण) on Tenth December’2011.
Eclipses have always caught the attention of human race, majority of times with fear and anxiety. They have always played a major role in the predictions made in the Mundane Astrology. The great scholars of Vedic as well as Western Astrology have given them much importance, while analyzing mundane affairs. Recently, electronic Media, in its unique ways, have painted the Eclipses in such a negative way; they are causing fear psychosis among all and sundry.
What is required is methodical analysis on the basis of scientific tenets of Astrology, to work out their probable impacts. This is a step in this direction.
For the purpose of analysis, above horoscope has been prepared for the moment of Full Moon (पूर्णिमा) and not for the moment of Total Lunar Eclipse (पूर्ण चंद्र ग्रहण), as I have found to be giving most satisfactory results. Although there is no tradition of analyzing Eclipse by drawing its horoscope in the Vedic Mundane Astrology, but I am following the same and have been able to make some wonderful predictions on the basis of same.
The Ascendant of the horoscope in question is Cancer, a movable sign; hence results of the Total Lunar Eclipse will be felt very early and in a fast manner. My experience is that impact will be in first three months after the Eclipse. This observation is confirmed by the fact that the Eclipse is falling in First one-third portion of ‘Ratrimaan’.
The ascendant is of initial degrees. One interesting phenomenon, which I have perceived that in case of initial degrees of Ascendant in Eclipse horoscope, some impact to be observed in it may be felt even before the actual eclipse.
As per traditional method of Vedic Mundane Astrology, if we divide the ‘Ratrimaan’ into seven parts, the Eclipse is staring in First part and ending in third part. Our great seers have predicted that this phenomenon causes trouble to persons residing in forests, seamen and religious persons; On the other hand it will prove beneficial to Bureaucrats and persons dependant on handicrafts.
For analyzing the results of Total Lunar Eclipse, I have relied mainly on Cuspal Chart/ Chalit Kundli/ Bhava Kundli., due to my earlier experiences about the same.
In the Horoscope, Cancer is Lagna, which falls in third house of India’s Horoscope. Exalted lord of third house in India’s Horoscope as well as Lagna Lord of this horoscope is subject of horoscope. Further, third lord of this horoscope as well as tenth lord from third is retrograde, combust as well as afflicted; hence I perceive as well as predict some major shift in the persons who are sitting on the top seat of our neighboring country.
Although not required to mention but I draw attention of the readers that the third house is in Paap Kartari. Since Total Lunar Eclipse is falling in Taurus, an earthy sign and the position of third house have already been elaborated; we can safely predict quantum jump in the incidents of accidents due to means of transportation along with earthquakes.
Another corollary is that the near future is not good for telecommunication industry.
What is the more matter of worry for me is that despite of control of inflation (already discussed in an earlier blog), I find no respite for the Indian Economy in next three months; of this horoscope, highly weak, afflicted, posited in sixth house; the same applies for second lord in India’s Horoscope. Lagna Lord is placed in Twelfth House, and tat also afflicted. We should not expect some major fund flow from out of country in next three months.
The most unfortunate prediction is that despite of newly acquired strength (Exalted Saturn in Forth House), the opposition parties will fail to make any significant impact on the National Polity.
As already predicted in an earlier Blog, this is the year of law making for India. But, due to retrograde Sixth Lord as well Ninth Lord, in this Horoscope, many Bills will be presented, represented again and again and many may not see their transformation into an Act at all.
Lagna Lord afflicted in Twelfth house, Tenth Lord in Sixth from it, Tenth House posited by Twelfth Lord from it, I do not find any reason for the increase of status of our PM, rather his Cabinet colleagues may over shine him, it is another thing that I also foresee major problem to one of his Cabinet colleagues.
Another major indication is major defame to or death of a major religious leader.
Some states or even Center may contemplate reservation in jobs for minorities.
Proper Diwali/ Dipawali Pooja Time this year
There are diverse views about choosing proper time for Diwali/ Dipawali Pooja. The most popular is to perform this auspicious act in the Sthir Lagnas (Fixed Ascendants). The reason for choosing Sthir Lagna (Fixed Ascendant), as explained in my earlier blog, is the belief that Pooja done in Sthir Lagna will stabilize Maa Laxmi (Deity of wealth and other monetary resources), who is considered very prone to movement.
This year Diwali/ Dipawali is being celebrated on October 26, 2011 and timings for Sthir Lagna on this date, after sunrise, are:
Vrishchik (Scorpio) 8:14 AM to 10:32 AM
Kumbh (Aquarius) 02:19 PM to 03:46 PM
Vrish (Taurus) 06:46 PM to 08:42 PM
Simha (Leo) 1:16 AM to 3:34 AM in the intervening night of October 26, 2011 and October 27, 2011
However, I have already rejected Simha Lagna (Leo Ascendant) altogether in my earlier blog. One may follow the link to know the justification http://astrovaastukendra.blogspot.com/2011/10/do-not-do-diwali-dipawali-pooja-in.html
However, astrological puritans do not opt this general route. At first they try Lagna Shuddhi (Ascendant Purification) as per principles given in the classics; secondly, they try to go at the level of Navamsa (Ninth part of Ascendant) and try to configure fixed Navamsa.
Sometime, my experiments go to another level. Taking clue from the dicta given in the Classics, I also use first fifteen degrees of Dwiswabhavi Lagnas (Duel Ascendants) with impressive success for all the works prescribed to be done in Sthir Lagna (Fixed Ascendant).
Another innovation from my side. I use Chalit Kundli for Lagna Shuddhi (Ascendant Purification).
I have tried my hand and found following time slots to be more appropriate for Diwali/ Dipawali Pooja this year:
A. 09:16 AM to 09:31 AM
B. 10:02 AM to 10:15 AM
C. 10:47 AM to 11:01 AM
D. 12:11 PM to 12:23 PM
E. 02:29 PM to 02:38 PM
F. 07:00 PM to 07:15 PM
G. 08:56 PM to 21:09 PM
Option ‘D’, although very near to Abhijit Muhurtha, may not suit to many as it is falling in Rahu Kalam.
For the followers of Chaughadia system of Muhurtha (Electional System of Astrology), auspicious times are as under:
06:32 AM to 09:18 AM
10:41 AM to 12:04 PM
04:06 PM to 05:29 PM
07:15 PM to 10:29 PM
I am not going into controversy, whether Chaughadia system is applicable or not while choosing time for a particular Pooja.
Again I also solicit the views of esteemed readers, whether Rahu Kalam is applicable on Diwali/ Dipawali Pooja, a yearly affair or not.
Choice is yours, whatever time you choose for worshiping Goddess Laxmi (Dhan/ wealth), do not forget that Lord Ganesh (Buddhi/ intellect) is always in her side. My best wishes for the Happy and prosperous Deepawali.
Note: Here all the calculations have been done keeping Delhi as reference place. Residents of other places may clarify the point from us or some other competent astrologer.
Do not do Diwali/ Dipawali Pooja in Simha Lagna
The thumb rule for Diwali/ Dipawali Pooja is ideally it should be done in Sthir Lagna (Fixed Ascendant), provided it is in ‘Amavasya’ Tithi. It is thought that Pooja done in Sthir Lagna will stabilize Maa Laxmi (Deity of wealth and other monetary resources), who is considered very prone to movement.
Traditionally, Diwali/ Dipawali being festival of lights, being celebrated in night, it is normally advised that best time for the same is Simha Lagna (Leo Ascendant),Which falls around Midnight. Even Mahanisheeth Pooja, very popular in Bengali community as well as in Agam (also called Tantra) traditions, is always performed in Simha Lagna.
This Year Diwali/ Dipawali is being celebrated on October 26, 2011 and Simha Lagna (Leo Ascendant) is from 1:16 AM to 3:34 AM in the intervening night of October 26, 2011 and October 27, 2011 (Reference Place-Delhi). What is more important here is that ‘Amavasya’ Tithi, which is a must for Diwali/ Dipawali is only up to 1:25 AM in the intervening night of October 26, 2011 and October 27, 2011.
Hence, if you want to do Diwali/ Dipawali Pooja in Simha Lagna (Leo Ascendant) this year, you will only get initial 09 Minutes for the same and that also in Pap Kartari by Mars as well as Saturn. Followers of Chughadia system of Murtha will also prefer to avoid Simha Lagna (Leo Ascendant) this year, as whole Simha Lagna (Leo Ascendant) is falling in ‘Rog’ (Disease) and Udweg (Anxiety) Chaughadia this year.
In view of the same, my clear advice to all and sundry: Desist from Diwali/ Dipawali Pooja in Simha Lagna this year.

Anna Hajare's Movement-Astrologer's perspective
Shri Anna Hajare
Birth details
Date 15th June 1937 Time 03:50:46 am Place Bhinga, India
Currently he is running best period of his life. Mahadasa- Saturn, Yogakaraka, Lord of Ninth (Bhagya Sthana) House & Tenth (Bhava of Karma, Pratishtha i.e. prestige) House; Antardasa-Venus, Lord of Lagna i.e. natural yogakaraka as well as Vipareet rajayoga karaka; Pratyantar Lord-Moon, Lord of Third House (Parakrama i.e. Valour Bhava) favorably placed in Kendra i.e. Fourth House, Second from its sign. I would remind my friends that the Dasa of Vipareet Rajayoga karaka was instrumental in making I.K. Gujaral, P.M. of India from nowhere.
Current Pratyantara, which is conducive to the movement he has undertaken, will last upto 21.10.2011, if Chitra Paksha ayanamsa is taken. However, Mars Pratyantara, which will start there after is not a fair period for him, the mars being Strong Maraka, being Lord of Seventh and Twelfth placed adversaly. The position of Mars is also not favorable in Dasamamsa. In view of this, I will reiterate my suggestion that he should culminate his movement to a logical conclusion by that period.
Today (17th August); a sensitive day fo the politick
Astrologically very sensitive day. Venus and Mars, both entering Magha Star (owned by Ketu) and Leo (Fiery) sign at 7:45 and 11:49 respectively. Moon is conjunct with Uranus, planet of unexpected events, at 13:33. Inauspicious aspects of Semi Square and Square are prevalent everywhere; between Moon and Jupiter, Mercury and Mars, Venus and Mars, Moon and Pluto, sun and Mars, moon and Mars. Anna team should see that their followers do not get violent, today or tomorrow. Central Government, already facing tough situation, should desist from any drastic step, which may prove suicidal for her. I am keeping a close watch on Syria also.
Anna movement
Tough days ahead for Central government, especially up to September 9. The Govt. should handle Anna Team in a very conscious and restrained way; and try to stretch their negotiations and discussions beyond that date. In the same way, the Anna team should finalize their movement to a logical conclusion by that date, otherwise they may loose their edge, for all the times to come. This prediction is being made on the basis of only Astrological principles, remaining objective to the either side.
Baba Ramdeo's movement at Ramlila grounds-my take
We don’t know what transpired between Government and Baba Ramdeo and what compelled Government to take such a harsh and brutal action; but we know that out of crowd of 70,000 to 100000 persons hounded from the venue of Baba Ramdeo’s movement, approx. 50000 persons were from out of Delhi, mainly remote places of India. Having lost their belongings and nowhere to go, they are helpless and wandering on the streets of India, simply wanting to go their hometowns. Majority of them are aged and a few have been injured in the lathi (baton) charge. Today is Sunday, an off day for majority of us. I appeal to all the residents of Delhi and surrounding places to do whatever they can do for these Citizens of our country, who had gathered in their Capital City to participate in a peaceful movement for a rightful cause.
I have already visited R. M. L. Hospital and my assessment is that these persons only require proper guidance to board a train to their home town and in some rare cases, money for buying the train ticket. I again request to do whatever you can for these persons. If someone insists for continuing in Delhi for the sake of movement, you may simply ask if they require any meals, which is not going to cost you a bomb. ( In Delhi, it simply costs Rs. 20/- to 30/- for a reasonable one time meal)
