Star Reports
Up-coming Transits....

Dear Friends & Members:                                                                        August 14, 2005



The other day a friend called me and said:  "Mark what's going on, right now?"

I launched into my usual Jyotish, transits explanation, and they said:  "Well, it's always
something!"

Something about that expression inspired me to write this article.

Cuz it does seem like there's "always something", or especially something negative, always
going on.

But, there's more to it, then that.

The transits, Understanding of Astrology, does capture what's going to be happening today,
or in the future, coming to us, from the stars.....
however, there's an intimate Wisdom, there in this knowledge, which is the true purpose
of us going through all these things....

For example, if you're one of those people who are strongly 'affected' by the transits, coming regularly during any phase of the month; then, it's very important that you 'learn'
more about this aspect of Jyotish.

If you, on the other hand, are more affected by the 'dasas', or have found a direct correlation between some of your life difficulties, and the so-called 'malefic' planets in your
chart, then,....the dasas may be important for you to understand better.

The "KEY", is to Identify, the negative or malefic, 'thing' that you're going through...
and then, see if you can find the negative or malefic part of your chart.

Once you find this 'Astrological' link, then the process of self-improvement can be started,
specifically directed towards the development or strengthening of any of the Astrological
planets...

For example, if you find that you're regularly 'rough' of feeling 'strange' or upset, when the
Moon's small, or negative affected by 'malefics', then, this may be very important information for you.

If you then, find that the Moon, is not particularly 'strong' either by Sign or Size!, then, you
may find much improvement by learning to strengthen the Moon!

Right now, Saturn is transiting through Cancer, the home of the Moon, and in my experience,
many people have been feeling 'rough' ever since Saturn first started moving into Cancer.

Therefore, 'strengthening' the Moon, or, balancing Saturn, may be too very significant things
to do, right now.

Up-Coming Transits....

The 'BEST' up-coming transit is the Sun's regularly, yearly movement into Leo.

On August 16th, the Sun first moves into it's Own Sign, Leo.

Benefits:

This is one of the two 'best' periods of the Sun's potential during each year.

If it's true the expression:  "where there's a will, there's a way".... then, this period
will be very important for the beginning or success of any life activity.

One of the Sun;s  qualities is that it represents the 'will', as well as self-confidence, and
self-esteem.

Therefore, when the Sun's strong, then,....take advantage of this very positive, good time
of the Sun.

Other Transits....

There are two other primary 'Transits', that are going on, now.

#1, The recent Ketu & Jupiter, Planetary War that we've been talking about, will probably,
be diminishing over the next few weeks.

On Friday, August 12th, both Ketu & Jupiter were at the 21st degree of Virgo.
This represented the heighest 'intensity' of their collision.

Some people have noticed already, Saturday and Sunday, were 'better' in this regard.

Some are still reeling from this intensity.

Over the next 7-14 days, Jupiter and Ketu will begin drifting apart as Jupiter increases in
degrees, while Ketu's degrees in Virgo, diminish. (Rahu & Ketu, if you don't know this, go
in the opposite directions of all the other planets).

#2  The other most important, dramatic transit is Saturn's movement into Cancer.

Saturn, almost always represents where Nature's trying to show us, where we need to grow, in terms of Saturn's balance.

Therefore, Saturn's movment through Cancer, means for most of us, that we need to bring
more peace, silence or balance, into the very nature of the mind, feelings, or heart.

If you've been feeling any 'roughness', especially on a kind of deep, inner, feeling level, this
may be 'this' recent Transit.

It almost feels like a kind of dasa, experience, as it's more continual, then the usual, 30 day
Moon cycle, where the Moon's always getting bigger or smaller.


One possible solution, is to pay more attention to that inner, fine-feeling level, and 'do'
things,.....

o   have more fun....
o   nurture yourself, more, especially on a feeling level....
o   meditate more....
o   get more rest....

Whatever you can do to strengthen that inner feeling level....will help.....

Final Transits...

There are two other, simultaneous transits, presently going on that are worth knowing
about.

#1  Mars, the planet of action, doing and achieving, continues for the entire next month,
and in fact, till, February 5th, 2006, when it goes into Taurus.

o   Find the 'Aries' in your chart, and this will be the primary area of 'benefit' in your life,
where Mars will be the most dramatic.

#2  The other, most significant Transit, is that Venus has moved into Virgo, recently.

Because this is the 'worst' transit of Venus, traditionally, this therefore is an important 'one'
to watch.

If you notice feeling more critical and especially feel hard or critical on others, especially
loved one's then, this may be due to Venus' recent movment into Virgo.

Venus, recently went into Virgo on August 12th, and will stay there till:  September 6th....
when it moves into Libra.



Finally, enjoy the next 10 days of the Moon's Waxing cycle till Full Moon on August 19th....

Take maximum advantage of this outer, dynamic time of the Month!



Jai Guru
