Raahu Kethu Peyarchi (Transit) 2011

 

Raahu Kethu Peyarchi takes place on 4th of May 2011.  The date may vary from Panjangam to Panjangam.  According to my calculations it takes place 04-05-2011 at 06-20 hours in the morning.


As is well known, Raahu and Kethu traverse in the anti-clock-wise direction, while all other Grahas traverse in the clock-wise direction.


Raahu moves into Vrichiga Raasi and Kethu moves into Rishabha Raasi and are going to traverse there until 16-01-2013.


Vrichigam is ruled by Sevvai (Mars) and Rishabham is ruled by Sukran (Venus).


The relationship of Raahu and Kethu with the Lords Vrichigam and Rishabham are friendly and hence let us hope that the overall outcome of this transition will not be so much threatening.


Goddess Shree Durga is considered to be the Navagraha Nayaki.  More particularly for Raahu and Kethu, Shree Durga carries greater significance.


On the eve of Raahu Kethu Peyarchi, perform Archana to Raahu Kethu and as well to Goddess Shree Durga.  She will give relief from all distresses of life and bring in happiness and prosperity in life.

This period is just above average for you.  While there will also be some losses and grievances, you will be able to gain a good financial benefit. 

Your rivals or enimies in business or profession will back track.  Of course there will be enmity and animosity in business or profession.  But, enmity and animosity will not be able to shatter your strength and you will be able to easily run over them.

Raahu Kethu Peyarchi 2011 - Rishabham

Kethu is moving into your Janma Raasi and Raahu correspondingly into your 7th house.

Obviously, these two transitions are not that much a palatable indicators.

For no valid reason, you will feel that your health is running down.  Your doctor will say that your doctor will say that there is nothing wrong with your health.  Still you will feel sick of one thing or the other.

There might be, in the case of some, a frustrating difference of opinion with your spouse.  How much ever you try to pacify, it will be difficult for you to convince your partner.  This may even develope into a dispute in some occasions.  It is wise to adopt utmost care to show that you really care for your spouse.

Invisible enmity and animosity will take away your peace of mind.  Persons whom you trusted and shared your feelings, will try to indirectly use it against you.  As far as possible be reserved and do not share your thoughts with anyone.

Caution is necessary in your external relationships.  You will have uncalled for disputes and will loose your peace of mind for nothing.

This period will also bring in some tight financial situation and the efforts you take to patch it up will not be of any good result.  You may feel that you are let down totally.  This is only a transitional experience and will not have any long term impact on your business or career.

There are chances that you may have romantic relations with persons who are not upto your calibre or status.  This may happen with a few and for all.

Such relationships will pull down your image and social standing.  It is better to keep a distance from extra marital relationships.

Some will have opportunities to travel abroad.

Raahu Kethu Peyarchi 2011 - Mesham

The next one and half years when Raahu and Kethu are going to traverse in Vrichiga and Rishabha Raasis respectively will impart some amount of difficulties in your well-being.

The period can not be described as totally bad and yet some risks are associated with the present transition of Raahu and Kethu.

There will be some financial strains and as well relationship strains during this period.

Some will have the opportunity to go abroad under compelling conditions in order to weed out the financial stress.

Be cautious in your relationships with your superiors and seniors.  As well, caution is necessary in dealing with Government officials and as well the politicians.  You are likely to earn the displeasure and even the anger of people in politics or power.  Better keep a distance and do not try to seek favours from the people in the authority.

Be cautious about your belongings - both personal and at home.  There can be a risk of losing money or other belongings by way of theft or burglar.  Keep things secure and under the watch of your family.  Once you are a little careless, the risk of theft is hanging around.

Also be cautious in handling electrical appliances or fire.  This could also damage your belongings.

Keep friendship and outside relationships at a distance.  Friends may turn out to be foes.  Visible and invisible enmity and animosity will take away your peace of mind and even personal respect.

If you are in business or if you are facing competition in your business or profession, there will be triggered problems from your opponents.

Your efforts may end up nowhere.  All that you have done and all the hard work you have put in your work place, will go un-noticed or unrecognised.

Some will have to separate from the family and travel abroad under compelling conditions.

Do not be carried away by worries.  Keep yourself cheerful and in the meantime, be cautious also.

In the overall, this Raahu Kethu Peyarchi is not going to bring you anything seriously bad.  Typically, this is a period where you are being given all the alarm to be careful in whatever you do.

Nakshatra or Star compatibility for Love or Marriage

The following Koota/Nakshatra matching chart, based on the highly reliable South Indian Dasa Koota system, will give you the matching compatibility score of the boy and the girl. For this you need the Nakshatra or the birth star of the boy and the girl.

Before you start jumping to any conclusions, let me tell you that for marriage purpose both the horoscopes must be thoroughly matched by an experienced astrologer. This is done based on the planetary combinations of the ascendant or lagna, all the 9 planets, the nakshatra or birth star based koota/guna matching, mangala dosha and also the navamsa charts matching. Marriage is a life long association and must be taken seriously.


However to get a rough general idea you can check the matching of the Five Astro-signs – the sun sign, the rasi or moon sign, the lagna or ascendant and the nakshatra based koota/guna matching and also the Chinese sign.


The matching is always done from the girl’s Nakshatra to the boy’s Nakshatra. Check the girls Nakshatra vertically down and match it with the boys Nakshatra given along the same row. For example, if the girl’s Moon is in Aries and in the Nakshatra Krittika 1st quarter and the boy’s moon is in Libra and Chitra 3rd quarter, you note the star# of both, from list of Nakshatras. The girl’s Nakshatra is #3 & the boy’s is 14. From the girls Nakshatra # 3 in the vertical list check along the row till you come to the boy’s Nakshatra #till you come to the column under the boys Nakshatra #. In this case the Koota Matching score is 27 points, or 27 Gunas.


A Gana matiching score of 18 is the minimum required for compatibility. The higher the score, the better it is. Please note that this Gana matching is not the only thing for astrological marriage matching. You need to get the horoscopes matched by an experienced astrologer

Vaastu Shastra

VASTU - INTRODUCTION

From the aesthetic point of view among creation of human beings vastu shastra is important and high ranked . In fact, Vastushastra is most charming, amorous and pleasant and it is possessed by its permanent value and most attractive elements of human civilization. Its importance has been explained in the Indian civilization thousand years ago. According to it before constructing our house hotel, factory, office, clinic, hospital, restaurant, inn or tample etc. We should know (go through) the five elements and do the construction accordingly so that one gets PEACE, PROSPERITY & HAPPINESS. These five elements are as under : 1. EARTH  2. WIND  3. LIGHT  4. ENERGY  5. AIR Our body is made of these five elements and therefore in this whole process vastushastra has beeen very much advantageous. Many people do not know this but when they come to know this they make changes in their houses at the cost of lots of money according to the advice of the vastushastri. Here is our humble attempt to make you know yourself the real and basic principles as well as all the directions, elements and proper planning. If necessary after making minor changes and getting natural gift, get the advantage of PEACE, PROSPERITY & HAPPINESS. Here are links to important Vaastu topics in our Blog The Vaastu Rules Vaastu-The science og Building homes in Harmony Important Vaastu Tips Vaastu Do's and Dont's 10 Important Do's of Vaastu Principles of Vaastu 18 Rules in Vaastu for Peace and Prosperity Vaastu-Energy Pattern and Stagnation Vaastu and Diseases Vaastu and Intellectuality Vaastu and Your Horoscope

Vaastu Shastra and your horoscope

If you think that just by aligning your house according to the rules of Vaastu Shastra can clear off all your problems then the answer is NO. Just reading a book on Vaastu, and making the necessary changes on the home front can never bring the desired changes, and sometimes can lead to major disappointments and mammoth expenditure. The best example to explain this is to, either fitting yourself in a ready-to-wear dress material, or getting your dress stitched according to your needs. The personal choices may differ, but it is always true that the stitched material will FIT better than the ready-to-wear dress. This explains that even Vaastu reading has to be customized according to the person?s charts, as the reading vary from person-to-person.


Vaastu and astrology (horoscope) is closely interrelated. And most of the sacred sciences of India are interconnected in one of the other way, directly or indirectly.


The directions are linked to the planets, and they are invariably linked to different events of individual?s life. For example the planet Saturn signifies the West, and also addresses issue like old age.


The 4th house in an individual?s chart signifies the living place of the native. And the matters related to house are indicated by the planets in the 4th house and also the position of the 4th lord in a chart. Planets play a crucial role in understanding the nature of the directions.


Here are few notes on the individual lagna (ascendant) and the main directions associated with that particular lagna..


*For Mesha (Aries) lagna moon is the 4th lord, and northwest is the main direction.
*For Rishabha (Taurus) lagna East is the main direction.
*For Mithuna (Gemini)North is the main direction.
*For Kataka (Cancer) lagna the southeast is main direction.
*For Simha (Leo) lagna the south is main direction.
*For Thula (Libra) and Vrichika (Scorpio) lagna the west is the main direction.
*For Dhanus (Sagittarius) lagna the northeast is the main direction.
*For Makara (Capricorn) lagna the south is the main direction.
*For Kumbha (Aquarius) southeast is the main direction.
*For Meena (Pisces) lagna north is the main direction.


In case if the 4th house is afflicted or has problems, then the strongest planet is taken into consideration for the reading.


People often ask whether a Vaastu perfect house be built?


The answer is simple..


If the 4th house is afflicted and if the same affliction is seen in the Chaturamsa, the person cannot build a Vaastu perfect house.


Another frequently asked question is, will rectification of the house bring in prosperity?


It all depends upon the time of the native. If a good dasha and good bhukti is running along with a Raja Yoga in the offing, Vaastu rectification will bring in lot of success. If there is no Raja Yoga, there will be difficulties.


Some people believe that they will become rich and successful if they align their house according to Vaastu rules, this is just a sign of greediness and nothing works out that way. No major textbooks of Vaastu have promised that. It is just false claims, foul marketing and exaggeration that disappoint many people in the process.

Vaastu and Intellectuality

The foundation stone of any society is considered to be its intellectual class. The essential condition for the overall progress of the society is progress of this class. The pace of the progress of this class can be increased many fold if a few vastu rules are followed.


For this class east facing plot can serve the purpose best. The Indra door will lead to inculcation and development of divine qualities that improve the practical application skills and the intellectual can optimize the use of his knowledge not only for himself but also for the welfare of the society.


Moving on to the internal construction a bedroom in the south for the intellectual will strengthen and increase his rights and his study room in the west of the house will help reach great heights. An office in the north will turn out to be very helpful especially for doctors and engineers.


If there exists a combination of spiritual principles and qualities with his/her profession, this belief can be well represented by constructing a drawing room up in the north where he/she should necessarily spend sometime on a regular basis.


A large vacant space in the east helps in the improvement of knowledge and space in the north shall bring in wealth.


It is a universally accepted fact that construction in Brahma place is strictly prohibited. Hence at the time of construction it should be left free.


1.      Construct entrances in places where deities Indra and Jayanta exist.


2.      Bedrooms in south.


3.      Study to be constructed in the west of the plot.


4.      Spend adequate time in the drawing room while studying.


5.      More vacant space in the east will bring more knowledge.


6.      Large Vacant space in the north will bring wealth.


7.      Brahma’s place needs to be protected.

Vaastu and Diseases

It is universally known that our body is constituted of 5 elements namely fire, water, air, earth and sky. It is due to the intricate balance of these elements on the planet earth that led to the evolution of humans and other organisms. Any imbalance of these elements leads to diseases in humans. The balance of these natural elements can be restored through vaastu.


Different conditions are created for the existence of humans. All ailments arising due to vaastu defects are either by vastu defect in construction or due to residing in a defective direction. There is a strong link between vaastu and the human body. Any vaastu defect in construction can lead to disease in the human body. The connection between disease and vaastu defects in a house can be attributed to the following points.


1. A heavy construction in the north-east leads to insomnia, mental disorders, tension, irritation and a constant state of illness prevails or all the natural energy gets restricted.


2. An extension of south-east, a bedroom or a door in this direction can cause mental stress / tension, disturbed mind, high blood pressure etc. An underground water tank in this part of the house can lead to dehydration, diarrhea, and problems from offspring, kidney problems and ultimately there is no mental peace.


3. Sleeping in North West can be the cause of aggressive ness and loss of interest and also air borne diseases. An underground water source here may lead to mental trauma, insomnia, early maturity in children and a door in this direction can lead to accidents. A heavy construction in the north and a light construction in the south or a heavy construction in east and a light construction in the west obstruct the flow of air and energy associated with good health and thus cause insomnia, mental tension, physical weakness and prolonged ailments.


Any construction in the Brahma place i.e. in the middle of the house or an underground water source or source of fire gives path to deadly diseases, hallucinations, stomach aches, insomnia and mental disorders.


South-west extension and underground water source is associated with bad health of the male child, mental trauma, fear, insomnia, post accident ailments and water related syndromes of kidney.


Underground water source in the west gives birth to gynecological problems, fits and instability. Underground water sources in the south causes gynecological problems, cerebral disorders, mental tension and impatience.


By following the simple principles of Vaastu one can enjoy good health.

Vaastu – Energy pattern and Stagnation

Vaastu is a Vedic science. It is possible through this powerful science to bring ray of hope to the darkness of ill luck in life. Unfortunately, some misconcepts are there regarding this science. Vastu is the art of incorporating the rules of Vedas in the construction. It is a surprising fact but true that the construction on a plot can control the life systems.


It is in practice that builders would not follow the Vastu rules in the commercial constructions. They feel no fear in violating Vastu rules. The minimum period required for a construction is 1 year and in care of multistory building it could be 2-3 years. Any violation in Vastu rules result in the down fall of the builder in 6 months whereas an honest attitude towards Vastu Purusha and Vastu rules can bring happiness and prosperity in the life of the builder within an year.


If the energy pattern of the Vastu Purush is saved at the initial stages of the construction of a commercial complex, then the further construction runs smoothly. If the construction begins from the north east or the Ishaan and moves towards south, it would be result in innumerable problems whereas if construction starts from south and moves towards the north i.e. Ishaan angel is saved till the last, then not only the project would complete in scheduled time but the fiancés would be available in ample. The direction for prosperity is north. Every precaution should be taken to protect the energy channels of the north from getting disturbed. The doors of the north should be as per the ‘Dwar Yojna’ of Vastu and the construction in the south should be heavy in comparison to north to ensure prosperity and a respectable position in the society. One of the major problems in south and west facing plots in that a certain set back has to be left as per the government rules. In this case the builder should sacrifice some land to protect the ‘Ishaan’ angle or the north direction of the plot. If the setback of north and south remains equal in measurement, the results could be extraordinarily good. It is convenient to take such precautions in commercial plots as compared to residential because of the big area of the former.


Each direction has one or two auspicious doors as prescribed by the Vastu rules. The question arises in cases of normal shops with about 10-15ft widths where more than 4 doors are present. With one auspicious door one has to accept an inauspicious door also. The remedy to this is to close the front completely and get one auspicious small door or gate.


In commercial complexes any construction on the vital parts of the Vastu Purush as column wall, door, window etc. would confine or cease the success and prosperity. If vital parts of Vastu Purusha are saved there could be a surprising hike in business, and peace in family life.


The main doors in a commercial complex should be marked before the construction and symbolic doors should be left to get the benefits from the deity of that door. Door in acute north-west or Vayava brings death or imprisonment, door in southwest brings losses and court cases, door in south east or Agni brings problems related to children whereas door North east or Ishaan bring fire accidents. If these doors are not constructed then problems related to these sectors will never come. If there is no door in the northwest direction or between the west and north west or Vayavya then there would be no fear from government or loaning agencies.


Disputed lands generally have extension either in Southwest or have a door here. This small Vastu defect even if it is of a few inches extension if removed can and various problems of the owner and can infuse a new energy in his life. The centre of the plot should be saved from foundation of staircase etc. A decorated door in the acute north will not only bring prosperity in your life but will also make you three generations successful.


In big commercial complexes heavy constructions should be in south and west as compared to North and East to ensure prosperity, control of the society. For immense prosperity in a commercial complex, apart from simple Vastu remedies at least two auspicious doors (amongst Bhallat, Jayant, Varun and Grihishat) should be there. As per the texts south is the most powerful part of a plot.


The standards given by Varahmihir for the places can be now applied on big commercial complexes. If we follow the principles of constructions as had been implemented in the palaces, we have to come out of our greed and restrict ourselves in North facing cited in south building restricted upto 20% of the total plot area, astonishing results could be achieved within stipulated time of 3-5 years.

18 Rules in Vaastu for Peace and Prosperity

Vaastu shastra dates back to the Vedas or the eternal books of knowledge. It is referred to as an Upaveda of Atharvaveda. Vaastu crosses the frontiers of material science when it speaks of the concept of Vaastu Purusha Mandala. The science personifies space and its importance as Vaastu Purusha. The ancient masters’ concept of channelizing space energies into an area called Mandala to give humanity peace and prosperity was later handed over to modern world by Einstein as E=mc2 (Energy and matter are inter-convertible).


Gross energy, identified as Vaastu (sthoola) and subtle energy as Vaastu (Sookshma) very clearly highlight the importance of both physical and metaphysical aspects of construction.


A high degree of precision is used in measurements, the smallest unit being the Paramanu or the atom. The Angula and the Hasta are the standard units of measurements for buildings and Idols. Ayadi Shadvarga or Six-Force formulae should be used to orient the building properly and arrive at the correct dimensions. The compatibility of the nakshatra of the building to the nakshatra of the owner or resident of the property is of prime importance. Muhurtha at four stages of construction play an important part in giving the residents of a building peace and prosperity.
