Sun >> Moving into Cancer
July 16th....
Sun moves into Cancer today.
This normally would be quite a nice month though there are some other simultaneous influences
going on that should be taken into account as well.
On Saturday, July 16th,.... Sun will first move into Cancer. (00:01Cancer)
However, because Saturn is also in Saturn right now, that means Saturn is presently combust.
(ie. Saturn's presently at 6thdegree/Cancer).
Moon is Waxing, also, and will arrive at the Full Moon on the am of the 21st.
Sun, between now and the next 7-10 days, will find Saturn & the Sun colliding or going through
a brief 'planetary war'.
This will culminate on the July 23rd when both Sun & Saturn are at the 7th degree of Cancer,
combustion!
Therefore, between now and then, Saturn will be combust, and it's normal even 'healthy'
influences will be not as available.
The typical subjective experience will be that things don't progress or unfold as quickly or
effortlessly as one would like!
The tendency then, is to either strain harder or feel bad or frustrated that 'things' are taking
so long.
However, the Jyotish wisdom here, is that this is a 'SATURN MOMENT', where Nature's trying to
tell us that during this time, we should do more to be in-tune with Saturn.
o Therefore during these next 8 Days, it would be good to be....
More patient
Allow yourself to rest more, being more relaxed...
Not strain, or have to do, or accomplish so much especially during this time.
After the 23rd, each day, Sun will move fairly quickly past Saturn, and by the 31st of July,
Sun will be at the 14th degree while Saturn's at the 8th degree, both in Cancer.
Technically Saturn will still be combust, but, practical experience shows that planets, on the
other side of Saturn do much better, then planets which are just, coming up to Saturn.
KETU/JUPITER PLANETARY WAR
The other most important aspect of the transits, presently going on, is the up-coming collision
of Ketu (which includes Rahu's influence) and Jupiter.
Right now, Ketu's at the 23rd degree while Jupiter's at the 17th degree both, in Virgo.
But, already, this increasing closeness has been having quite a strong negative effect on
certain people.
I've been following the World press, and many bizarre and strange events have been going
on which I believe are partly due to this transit.
In the last 2 weeks, not only was there that bombing in London, but in the US, there have been
a string of quite twisted and bizarre interpersonal happenings that have been quite distressing.
Awhile back, a young teenager disappeared, while in Aruba on holiday. That tragedy has quite
gripped the US' national consciousness, and also quite a few equally as bizarre things have
occured as well.
Yesterday, for example another in a long line of strange and bizarre things happened. This day,
the body of a young girl, 6, or 7, was found who'd been missing since July lst.
She was found to have been kidnapped and murdered and eventually discovered close to home.
There have been a number of these kind of very 'twisted' experiences, which to me, seem very indicative of the negative side of Ketu and/or Rahu.
Especially since Ketu & Jupiter, (the planet of Righteousness), are getting so close, don't be
surprised if these tendencies continue for awhile.
The Prescripiton of course, is to not go with any strange or bizarre, Ketu/Rahu feelings now,
because the normally more balanced Jupiter sense, will be less now.
Also, enlivening your Jupiter, to insulate it against the more negative affects of Rahu/Ketu, will
also, be a great way of preparing oneself against this negative transit.
July 31st...
by Sunday, of the 31st, Mars at least will have moved out of Pisces, where it's been transiting
with Rahu.
That should begin to diminish some of the quite negative goings on.
By August 10th, the Sun will have arrived to the 24th degree of Cancer, and because Sani
moves much more slowly, will be much less negative because it will be at only the 9th degree
of Cancer.
If you experience any of the negative affects of the up-coming Saturn & Sun, planetary war, or
combustion, then, by now, these 'negatives' should be less!
Generally, seems like the month of Sun/Cancer, will be quite a bit more intense, and less
compassionate and careing, like the Sun/Cancer, is normally.
Negative transits, have 2 primary purposes.
#1, they're the times, when the negative or out of balance actions that we 'did' are meant to
come back to us.
And, though these may be uncomfortable, this is how Nature trys to help us see, the errors,
of our ways!
For those of us, who are ready to re-learn and 'change', we can use these so-called, negative
times, as opportunities, to grow within the nature of the negatively transiting planets.
So, if you've got a negative Ketu or Rahu in your chart, this time, where Ketu & Jupiter will be
colliding will be a good time, to focus on improving your Ketu!
If Saturn's difficult for you in your chart, then this up-coming Saturn & Sun, collision will be a
good time to work on improving or strengthening your Saturn!
Hope this helps you understand the 1/3 of Jyotish that the 'TRANSITS', represents.
Remember, your Dasas, have an equally powerful effect on what you're going through.
And, finally the 1/3 value of your chart, has an even more important affect!
These are the 3 primary aspects of Jyotish that we live all the time!
#1, we live our charts! Our charts represent our minds & bodies, Psychology & Physiology and
all the different aspects of our personality and mental make-up.
Understanding our charts, is of course, one of the most powerful things we can gain from
Jyotish.
#2, then, we live at different times, some of the 3 main aspects of our charts, during specific
times. These 'time-periods' called Dasas, represent the unique, and specific karmas that are
precisely connected to our charts.
At any time there are 3 primary dasas, Maha, Antar, and Bhukti, which represent the good &
bad, positive and negative aspects of one's chart.
To know how these future periods, 'might' play out, study the effects of one's past dasa
periods.
#3, Finally, there is the affect of the every day, realilties of the Stars upon our entire World,
which is commonly called the 'TRANSITS'.
Like the dasas, one should study the past and present 'transits' to determine how personally,
sensitive or vulnerable you are to especially the malefic or negative transits.
However, one is also meant to grow within the malefic parameters of one's chart.
Those malefics not only represent where your vulnerable 'traits' are, or where your challenges
and frustrations may be.
They also represent our opportunities, and in fact, exactly which parts of 'us' that we're meant
to improve or grow within.
As we do this, then any future negative dasas or negatives can be neutralized, or transformed!
Good Luck!
All grace to the Guru
Jai Guru!
