Transits Journal:

&
Notes

 

Dear Friends/Subscribers:

 

            One of the most powerful techniques I’ve practiced in Jyotish is learning to keep a Transits journal.  The days fly by and we feel certain ways and after awhile we think the reasons why we feel such and such is generally because of something external.  We feel inward and one of our friends says “are you okay”.    This happened to me this evening.

            A friend said “Are you alright?  You’ve been so quiet the last few days?”  I giggled when I heard that.  Here they’re wondering if any things wrong and I’m just flowing with the inward wave of the Moon.

            Moon’s getting very small now and I’ve watched this so carefully for so many months and years; that now I truly trust it. Everything grinds to a halt.  Like on my Yahoo Messenger right now.  There’s only 2 people who are active.  I remember when I used to think: “Oh, what’s wrong?”  Or sometimes I notice that the volume of people interested in having me look at their Astrology goes down?

            I had this for a number of years when I was studying Jyotish but running my construction business to make money.  It got to a point where literally my phone would stop ringing around the New Moon like now.  When this first started happening, again I got very complicated.  “Where did all my customers go?”  But, when you learn that the World shakes in direct proportion to the Stars, you’ll gain tremendous insight into life itself!

            How many times have I road that inward Moon wave down to it’s depth of stillness around the New Moon. Then, the very moment, sometimes within just an hour or so of the Moon beginning it’s slide past the exact degrees of the Sun, within that very moment my phone starts ringing again!

            Coincidence, happenstance? Once, or twice maybe, but month after month after month eliminates all doubt!  Our World is caused by these wonderful currents of the Transiting Stars, Sun, Moon and planets.  This is one of the greatest things you can ever learn.

            My thoughts this evening are to encourage you to keep that Transits journal.  I have kept mine for a very long time.  One of the things that occurs to me today is to keep a record next to the backdrop of what I wrote previously about what the days were supposed to be like.

            I’ll show you my example of this last week.  If this helps you, feel free to do something similar.

 

From Last Weeks Transits: My experiences along with each day I added in “BLUE” with each day.

 From Last Week's Weekly Report I sent out to Our new Newsletter located at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TodaysDailyWeeklyMonthlyYearlyStarsTransits

This is part of the Weekly Transit report.  I wanted you all to see the level of detail that’s coming out!

This email today also includes my daily Transit notes that I took all week as I was going through these days.  Those notes are in ‘blue’ and ‘pink’ below each day’s Transits Prediction.

Enjoy!

 

1)    A

Wednesday, March 7^th (8^th in the East-Thursday)       

Moon’s Waning now so notice that pause, re-grouping and re-consolidation energy going on.  Good time to catch up with aspects of your last 2 weeks of Waxing Moon projects unfinished or untidy.

Today:  Moon moves into Libra where it’s happy, cheerful and without much negative malefic aspect.  Rahu does aspect Libra from its present place in Aquarius.  Though I suspect Rahu’s influence will not be as heavy as it was when the Moon was in Gemini, right before colliding with Saturn.

So, expect these 2 ½ days to be much more cheerful.  ((Watch however, in a day and ½  the Moon gets to the end of Libra where it’ll come under Rahu’s direct gaze.  If you feel that similar Rahu glance of roughness, this is why.))

            Today I felt so much different over the last two days.  Last few days where the Moon was in Virgo, the Moon often feels kind of dry and flat to it’s Virgo energy. I used those days to focus on details and knowing my Virgo’s in the 12^th House helps because I’m not surprised that I always feel my attention leaves the World on these Moon in Virgo days!

            Find your 12^th House and watch how you feel when the Moon moves through your 12^th House.

            Today, as the Moon’s sliding through Libra I feel cheerful, I feel soft and more accommodating.  No wonder I like to plan charts and interactions with people on these days.

2)    A

Thursday, March 8^th (9^th -East)                                   

Moon continuing in Libra today.  Moon will be at about the 13^th degree in the beginning.  Moon travels about 12 degrees a day hence why it takes only 2 ½ days to get through the 30 degrees of each sign!

Moon in the middle of Libra today, brings the strongest positivity of this Sign and placement in your chart.

Look for the #7 or Libra in your chart for the primary focus of ‘your’ Moon/Libra!

            Today, I continued to feel that same nice Moon/Libra quality.  I’m thinking about the next few days though.  I’m also feeling that Mars and Saturn think coming up.  When you’re watching the Stars long enough you’ll feel these Transits in your body.  I can feel Saturn back in my 10^th House now that it’s retrograded back into Cancer.

            I can also feel that strong, delightful, powerful Mars/Capricorn transit since I’ve watched so carefully for month after month.  It’s helped me knowing that I can experience directly both these simultaneous and yet very opposite and even contradictory energies going on in direct opposition to each other.

            Take a piece of paper and put a dot in the middle.  That’s good ol’ Earth.  Now, put 6 lines through the Earth.  Make fairly equal 12 slices of a pie.  Now, put numbers in those slices.  Find a slice on the right side about ½ way up and down.  Pretend it’s straddling the horizon.

            That’s your Rising Sign.  Now, put the number of your rising sign in that slice.  Let’s say your Rising sign is Taurus.  So, you’ve got a #2 in that slice.  Now, directly below that as if below the horizon put the next sign #3, then the next, #4 and on and on.

            This shows you your different Signs in your different Houses.  Obviously the slice with your #2 Rising Sign is your 1^st House.  Now, realize the slice with the #3 in it slightly below is your 2^nd House.  Slice with the #4 is in your 3^rd House and on and on.

            Now, find your #10 and #4.  Put Mars/Exalted in Capricorn in the slice with your #10 Capricorn.  If you’ve got Taurus in your 1^st House, then that means Capricorn will be in your 9^th House.

            Find your #4 for Cancer and that’ll be where Saturn is.  See, how these two planets are opposite to each other?  You can see how they’re directly opposite.  Now, if you follow the degrees that I’ll try and remind you of over the next 10 days you’ll notice there intensity of affect increasing for a few days, very soon.

Friday, March 9^th (10^th -East)                                

Moon’s finishing in Libra now.  Starts out the day here at the 22^nd degree of Libra.  Remember we talked about how Rahu’s supposed to be influencing the 22^nd degree of Libra from its place in Aquarius, too?  Well, today, or rather this morning is that moment.  (2am CST, to be exact)

So, if you feel any of that typical Rahu roughness now this is why.

Solution:  Be more on the Self, more resting during these few hours.  Moon moves so fast that by the afternoon that slight intensity will be over.

Moon moves into Scorpio in 8 degrees or 16 hours.

Moon is the least happy in Scorpio, so this represents a delicate next 2 ½ days.

            I can begin to feel that shift today.  It’s technically still in Libra, but I can feel something’s different.  Sometimes you’ll feel the shifts of the Planets coming even as they’re on the edge; what Jyotish calls being on the ‘cusp’.  There’s a no-man’s zone, so to speak there. 

            See, if you can feel it sometime?

            Then, the thought occurred to me later, ever since Rahu moved into Aquarius from it’s long year and a half transit in Pisces I’ve begun to feel this distinct Rahu flavor.  It does make me feel something akin to roughness as the Moon gets close to Rahu’s exact degrees which are late in Aquarius.

            So, if you notice Rahu’s at the end of Aquarius and therefore due to it’s 9^th House aspect, Rahu is supposed to be directly casting it’s shadow upon those same late degrees into Libra.

            Count the House aspect this way!  Count the House that a planet is in as #1.  So, Rahu in Aquarius is casting it’s 1^st House aspect there.  But, Rahu’s also supposed to be casting a 5^th, 7^th and 9^th House aspects as well.

            So, that means the 5^th House aspect is Aquarius, #1, Pisces #2, Aries, #3 Taurus #4, and Gemini #5.  Wow, this reminds me how much that familiar Rahu feeling was not there for this last year when the Moon went through my Gemini.  That’s where my 9^th House is and I’ve noticed for years feeling quite the nice feeling with the Moon there.

            Now, for some strange reason, he he I’m noticing things are not quite so sweet during these 2 ½ days of Moon in Gemini.  Now, I see why!

            Rahu’s casting its new 5^th House aspect directly into my 9^th House.  Now, I’m realizing the same thing is true for my 1^st House of Libra.  When you want to figure that 9^th House aspect for Rahu, again, count Aquarius as #1, then, Pisces as #2, Aries is #3, Taurus is #4, Gemini, again is #5, now, Cancer is #6, Leo is #7, Virgo is #8, and finally! He he Libra is #9!

            Wow, so that’s why I’ve been feeling that lack of Libra sweetness coming now during the later degrees of the Moon in Libra.

            These subtleties of the Moon and Stars may seem complicated but they’re not really.  LEARN TO FEEL THEM… Use this intellectual analysis to help you understand them and then use that subtlety of perception to apply in YOUR daily life.  It’s really very easy.

            In the beginning just watch the general heading of A, B, C or D to help you confirm that that’s how your days are running.  If you don’t find this correlation, then write to me tell me your experience and we’ll see if we can find the Astrological reason.

            As you can imagine there’s a lot of conflicting simultaneous qualities going on.

Saturday, March 10^th (11^th -East)                                    

Moon is the least happy in Scorpio because of the fiery nature of Scorpio.

(Moon starts off the day, 3/10^th 8am cst at the 7^th degree in Scoprio)

The thing to resist during these 2 ½ days is if you’re feeling that Mars intensity.  If you don’t then fine, but if you feel this upsurge of anger, pitta or fire, this is why.

The particular flavor that gets Scorpio in trouble is the flavor of resentment or anger because people aren’t doing what we think they should.

This is Scorpio’s dilemma anyway and during Moon in Scorpio days the karma of this flavor is going on in the environment.

The positive Side:         Scorpio cares.  Scorpio has ideals.  Scorpio has convictions, ideals and strong beliefs.

This is a good time to focus on what means the most to you.  Only don’t get angry or irritable about it!

 

Another Positive of this 2 ½ day Transit is the Moon collides or occupies the same space as Jupiter.  Jupiter’s at the 24^th degree of Scorpio and whenever the Moon and Jupiter aspect, collide or influence each other; this is a blessing!

Therefore you may also feel like enlivening some spiritual content, Vedic or Jyotish Knowledge or Wisdom during this time especially where Moon gets closer and closer to Jupiter’s exact degrees!

            Okay, the pink is from the original Transit report, so I’ll use just blue for my reflections on today’s transits going on.  I am of course totally prepared for these up-coming Moon in Scorpio days.  So, I’m not really surprised when all of a sudden this morning I feel very irritable.

            It’s like there’s hot sauce in my stomach.  I don’t know where it’s coming from, he he.  Then, I remember, “Oh, my this is that Moon in Scorpio transit.  Some months it doesn’t feel so intense as now.  I wonder why?”  Then, later the answer comes.  Right now Mars is Exalted in Capricorn.  That means the pitta, fire of Mars is exceptionally more strong right now.

            But, it’s experience so far has felt fine as it’s being moving through my 4^th House of Capricorn.  I’ve instead been feeling great with a lot of energy focused on my 10^th House of career!

            It’s been a wonderful vibration to be feeling and responding, flowing with.  I’ve been focusing on a lot of writing and getting remedies out and talking with lots of people.

            But, today I feel that acid in my stomach. Then, the thought of ‘aha’ comes.  Mars is stronger now.  So, the homes of Mars are also feeling that extra heat!

            Jyotish says the Planets moving around, send a vibration or energy back to their homes how they’re doing.  And, right now, Mars is very happy and strong in Capricorn.  So, that extra Mars juice is flowing back to Aries and Scorpio.  And, wow, can I ever, feel it today.  Unfortunately, the Moon’s movement through Scorpio is often accompanied by some fiery quality.

            Now, that quality is even worse.  I feel like jumping down a few subscriber’s throats!  He he.  I didn’t, but I felt like it! He he  Instead I knew why this was coming. So, I didn’t.  Instead I went for a 2 minute walk.  I took a deep breath and released that psychic fire!

            The rest of the day felt better!

 

5)       C-B 

Sunday, March 11^th (12^th -East)                                  

Moon continuing in Scorpio, now.  Today at 8am CST the Moon’s at the 17^th degree of Scorpio.

See if you don’t feel the ever increasing closeness or association of Jupiter now.  Good day to put attention on gaining more knowledge, reading or spirituality.  The end of Scorpio is coming and the strongest influence of Jupiter so this may be a better day, all together, too!

            Today, felt better then yesterday.  Wonder why?  That’s my usual Transit game I play.  Because, yesterday was so heated.  Wonder why I’m feeling better this am?  Then, I remember, oh right Moon’s moving across the path of Jupiter today.

            I have this great Jyotish software so I crank up a chart for right now.  It’s about 11am CST on the 11^th.  I make a chart for this time and boom, ‘wow, I was right.  Moon is at the 20^th degree of Scorpio while Jupiter’s running about the 24^th degree.  Wow, you can feel that softening influence of JUPITER!  No wonder I like to predict good days within Jupiter’s influences! He he.

Monday, March 12^th (13^th -East)                                 

Moon moves into Sagittarius today.  This represents a nice next 2 ½ days of special Sagittarian blessings.  Sagittarius represents knowledge and great Jupiter curiosity.  Sagittarians love to travel in the mind as well as the body.  Good days for any business or recreational trips.

Good days for focusing even more on knowledge and special information.  You’ll feel that subtle Mars intensity of the last few days is miraculously gone!

Enjoy!

            Even though I say one can get over the negative Transits and have done a lot to make that happen over the years I have to admit I do like my Moon/Sagittarius days much better!

            Today, I dive into writing.  So, many wonderful ideas and writing on my book flows forth today.  Interesting, too, because having a Libra rising my Sagittarius is flowing through my 3^rd house of writing.  So, it shouldn’t be too surprising that this is going on!  Today, is a delight.

Tuesday, March 13^th (14^th -East)                                 

Moon starts today at about the 15^th degree of Sagittarius now.  Good day and ¼ or so of good Sagittarian opportunity.

In Jyotish we can see the positive and the negative ahead.  This bodes well for taking maximum advantage of the Cosmic weather, flow and unfoldment of life.

In our lives we each are involved with an environment.  These are dramatically influenced by the Cosmic weather. 

Learning how our World will be effected by the Cosmic rays is the natural goal and pursuit of the transits.  These last 2 days should be very positive.

Caution during malefic times.  Though if life is easy and flows during even negative times that’s fine too!  Only we go on the level of caution.  It may not rain.  But, if the weather forecasts some possibility, its always good to be prepared!

So, take those umbrellas on the few Scorpio/Moon days.  Feel wild and unrestricted on the Moon/Sagittarian ones!

            Again, today was quite marvelous.  Had a lot of bliss even though the sky was overcast all day.  Ever watch the Transits and your weather?  Definitely, do if you never have.  You’ll generally find a close correlation between clear outer sky and clear inner sky’s of the Transits!

            Now, today it’s interesting some big storm does feel like it’s coming, but inside I’m still feeling a lot of bliss.

            Wow, did you watch the outer stock market today!  Went down, about 243 points.  One of the worst days in years!  As my habit is to wonder why I wonder…?

            Then, the thought occurs.  Inside the Moon’s not doing too bad.  It is being negatively aspected by Ketu from Leo, though that happens every month at about this time.  So, what’s different?

            Then, I realize.  Saturn and Mars are moving closer and closer into their negative 7^th House mutual aspect.  Saturn’s in Cancer right now at the 25^th degree of Caner and Mars is at the 16^th degree of Capricorn.  That’s the only reason I can find!  And, that kind of goes along with my previous, last month prediction of paying attention to those days when Mars moves through the exact degrees where Saturn’s influence is maximum.

            So, now this next week, as Mars moves closer and closer to that  25^th degree in Capricorn, (where Saturn’s influencing from the 25^th degree of Cancer) that should be verrrry interesting!

 

            Well, obviously you don’t have to get into such detail as I do.  For me, however, having watched so closely now for so many years I have to say today I get 10 times more out of it then even in the past.  I continue to learn layer after layer after layer.

            I’m extremely happy to pass on to you those insights!

 

Enjoy and God bless!

 

Sincerely,

 

Mark Kincaid

 

PS…. Make notes in your Transits journal this next week.  See, what your experiences are like, and pop me some notes how you’re doing.  Right now, we only have a few people joined.  So, take advantage of my extra time. In a few more weeks and months as more and people join I’ll probably have not quite as much personal time available!

 

Jai Guru!
