[Guest guest]

Hi all

 

My web site is now taking shape.

 

The June Astro Calendar and June Moon calendar is already posted.

 

You can print both and hang them near to your desk, to have a look at how the

planets are travelling above.

 

To print the calendars just click on them with the right button of your mouse.

 

Then when a card appears on your screen, chose print.

 

Make sure that you change the mode of your pinter to the lanscape size, and you

will have two nice printed calendars.

 

Next i will put a Moon calendar already calculated to give the idea of how to

fill the Moon calendar according to your own moon sign and moon naksatra to

give you your tara balas and bava balas.

 

You can obtain those calendars from:

Thank you Natabara Das for giving us your gift of these calendars on your

website http://www11.brinkster.com/astrodev/index.htm

I have printed June 2002 Astro Vedic Calendar and Moon Vedic calendar, and

look forward to your tara bala calendars coming soon.

I believe you gave us a key to the Moon calendar notations some time

ago. If you or anyone else could please send that key to our List again, I

will be grateful because I do not remember what the letters stand for!

Thank you for your remarks about the upcoming eclipse on June 10. May

all go well for you and everyone else during this New Moon and beyond.

Natabara, your contributions are very helpful!

Best wishes,

Dear Carol

 

you

<< Thank you Natabara Das for giving us your gift of these calendars on your

website http://www11.brinkster.com/astrodev/index.htm >>

Thank you very much. Everybody is welcome to the contents in my web site, more

to come soon. Other commitments have delay my projects but I am getting there.

 

You

Mike and me had the doubt of where to put that moon calendar with the tara

balas. I think that we are going to find it as June CN-08, to indicated that

it is a universal sample of how your personal calendar should look like.

That sample is mainly for natives (Jyotish moon) of Cancer and constellation 8

(Pushya) and for England, because the times are given for GMT. However, you

can adjust the times for your local place by adding or taking hours to the GMT

times.

I hope that Das will produce the facilities in his next GJ3 version, of

calculating that Moon calendar for any local time on earth.

It is easy to programme. And I find that my version of presenting the Moon

calendar attracts more people to Vedic astrology, because it is relatively easy

to follow once that you have learn the easy rules, and it does not have too much

info to confuse newcomers.

Each day gives a positive limit to show only the tithi (moon day), tara Bala

(moon in constellation) and Bava bala (Moon in sign). I used to show in

previous years the Nitya yoga and karanas, but I did find that most newcomers

were put off by too much information.

Therefore, I have kept the essential information in those calendars.

Thanks for your request, below you have the full guide introduction to the Moon calendar.

This guide-intro will be added to my web site eventually under article I

believe. The present problem is that I have to send all the info to Mike by

email, in order for him to post it, and at present he has been busy trying to

solve some technical problems like posting the Antara tables in XL format,

making the menu bright, etc.

Later on I will learn how to post the easy documents myself.

And once I have more time, I will go to other levels of explaining calendars, antara tables etc.

I want to show an “organic” system in Vedic astrology.

My energies are coming back slowly to the point of giving a better organic

presentation to this science.

Because the Moon calendar gives the daily base to our lives, it has a multiple

function, which I will try to explain later on.

It is very easy for me to understand it due to my long time experience and

training, but very difficult to explain to others.

I do find that the Moon calendar can be explained better in only 5 minutes but

in an oral description. I have friends that read the guide-instructions twice

and do not get the point, but when they come to me, they understand the point

in only 5 minutes.

In a near future (perhaps this year) I will be able to show the relevant steps

in Jyotish with the help of a camera. For those of you that are going to start

to get a camera, and would like to learn Jyotish in that way, please let me

know.

Some people have the ability to learn by reading the instructions, and other

people can learn by oral lessons, while others like to learn by video.

New technology is providing for everyone.

In a near future, we will be able to have Jyotish conferences via computer-cameras.

One of the points that I want to show, is that the 3rd constellation from the

natal constellation is the worst of all the bad constellations.

Everybody can see that in his or her own Vedic horoscopes. That can be seen

easily from the calculations given by the Antara Tables.

Later on I will post how to use those tables and how to read it for newcomers.

With those tables you get an space to fill your dates to major events in your

life.

By doing so, you can see that the 3rd main period in people’s lives is in

general one of then worst periods. And that the sub periods (buktis) ruled by

the planet ruling the 3rd constellation from the natal constellation, is one of

the worst as well.

This is because for main periods (dasas) we study the ownership of the lord

(planet) in regard to house/s in the horoscope and in regard to the ownership

of constellations (according to the tara balas).

Regarding the sub periods (buktis), we study the location of the lord (planet)

in regard to house/s in the horoscope and in regard to the location of

constellation (according to the tara balas).

In regard to the sub sub periods (antaras), we study both the ownership of the

lord (planet) in regard to house/s in the horoscope and constellation and his

location in house and constellation (according to the tara balas).

Therefore, every antara ruled by the 3rd constellation, or planet in a third

constellation (according to your tara bala), is likely to produce negative

results.

I cannot say that a 100% of people will say yes, that rule works, but ask around

among your people and see the answer.

What is more, whenever a planet comes in transit into our 3rd tara bala, watch out.

More later.

Thanks.

Many thanks for the feedback.

Hi All

I am intending to post on this GJLIST once a month both, the moon and the astro

calendars. It is very useful for the astrologer and people to know the daily

position of the moon and the planets to study their effects on our lives and

other horoscopes as well.

Here is a posting of the moon calendar for the JUNE 2002. This

introduction/guide is mainly for newcomers for every month.

As to give an example here i am giving the Moon calendar for natives of

Cancer/Pushya. For other signs/constellations (35 more), you have to adjust

the calendar accordingly, but the basic data of timing and dates remain the

same.

The calculations are based on Lahiris ayanamsa. The ENDING TIMES are in GMT

(you have to adjust it to your official time) for the 3 energies are

approximated within 5 minutes on either side. This means that to be on the

safe side, give a margin of 5 minutes before and after the times given here.

The ending time is given for the tithis or days of the moon. When the moon ends

each constellation and when the moon ends each sign is also given.

In this way we can see when the moon days end and the next moon day starts.

When the Moon ends the travel in one naksatra and starts the next. And when

the moon ends travelling in a sign and starts the next sign.

Beside the ending times for the moon days you can see if that energy is

generally good = G or bad = X

For example G/X means that up to the time given the energy is good and after

that time becomes negative in general.

With my experience i only need the required basic data to understand the

calendar. But if i want to attract other people to Jyotish, they require a

simple language. After many years of testing i think that most of the Vedic

astrology students are happy with this format, which i give in a calendar

format to those wanting, for a better appreciation. You could paste this

monthly data on a calendar format if you so wish but it takes about 15 minutes

to do so, but it looks very nice on the wall.

Here you will see the raw info in GMT.

The ending times for every one of the 3 factors are given in GMT. The G means

that until the given time (G/) the factor is bad or after the time (/G). The

"G" means that until or after (/G) the ending time given the moon day is good.

For clarity and practicality of the students i put an "X" beside the end of the

moon days to indicate a bad moon day and i put a "G" to indicate a Good moon

day.

There are 9 TB or Tara Balas = strength of your star, and of those, TB 1, 5, 7

or 3 in increasing proportion are bad. TB 1 is mild and TB 3 is the worst.

The rest of the TB is good.

There are 12 CB or Chandra balas = strength of your moon sign. When the moon is

in a sign that from your moon sign is 6,8, or 12, it is bad in increasing

proportion. 6 = debts, obstacles or enemies. 8 = death or the end of things

and 12 = losses or falls. However, those days can be very good for meditation.

The rest of the CB are ok.

Please notice that this moon calendar give 3 basic moon energies.

First we have the tithi or moon day. LD = light moon day and DD= dark day.

Second, we have the Moon leaving a constellation © and there are 27

constellations, which are a certain TB for your own star.

Third, we have the Moon in a sign or leaving a sign and entering the next and

determining the CB for your natal moon sign.

Notice as well that some days can have the ending of 2 moon days or 2

constellations. Some other days will not see the end of a moon say or

constellation, this is due to the speed of the moon on those days.

Days of the moon

The first energy indicated in this calendar is the Moon day. When the sun and

moon are together, it is called the new moon and when they are opposite to each

other or at 180° from each other, it is the end of the 15th DL day light moon

day or the end of the full moon.

There are 15 moon light days from the new moon to the full moon or when the moon

is increasing. And there are 15 DD dark days of the moon from the full moon to

the new moon or when the moon is decreasing. Every time when the moon

separates from the sun by 12 degrees of arc, there is the ending time of a

particular moon day.

Good moon days to start a new activity are 1,2,3,5,7,10,11,13 and 15 in

increasing proportion. This means that the 1st moon day will be relatively

mild and the 15th will be the best. But check out from muhurta books when

studying different activities because this guidelines are general.

Bad moon days will be the 4,6,8,9,12,and 14 in increasing proportion. This

means that the 4th moon day is mild and the 14th is the worst.

I try to avoid starting new and important activities or to do important readings

on the 14th moon day. This does not means that i remain idle on bad days,

routine jobs or activities that i have already started are ok. And in anyway,

your own personal experience will tell you how to follow the moon calendar.

By looking at the calendar you will see which days bring you either good or bad vibrations.

In my humble experience, this calendar is a basic tool to your own moon sign and

moon constellation and it is a must to students of Jyotish and a good help.

As an astrologer you are very likely to understand this calendar and how to use

it. For newcomers, non-astrologers or customers, you as an astrologer can

advise and guide accordingly.

This moon calendar is the basis for many daily activities and events happening around.

For example, a customer may feel depressed each time when the moon crosses the

6th, 8th or 12th houses.

>From the astro calendar we will see when the moon is conjunction with Rahu or

Saturn, and experience will tell you that on those days some sensitive people

may feel either afraid or depressed, mainly when they are under a negative

planetary period or they have in their chart those planetary configurations.

You can read more in the astro calendar.

Some people may understand this explanation but others may need a different

explanation. I am learning to explain Jyotish to different mentalities so

please do not hesitate if you get stuck, it may be the way that i explain

things.

Any questions are welcome.

Yours in the service of Jyotish.

******

In western astrology we hear "what is your sun sign?". This refers to western

astrology and to the tropical sky. This sky is an imaginary line across the

sky on earth that goes from the tropic of Capricorn to the tropic of Cancer

passing at the equator and vice verse from the tropic of Cancer to the tropic

of Capricorn.

 

So when the sun is at the equator on the 20 or 21 or 23 March we say that it is

the beginning of the spring or that the sun is entering tropical Aries. 3

months later the sun will be entering cancer or when the sun reaches the tropic

of Cancer. From here the sun will go south reaching tropical Libra 3 months

later and the tropic of Capricorn 3 months later before starting its journey

northwards. All this is western astrology.

 

Mayas used to build 3 pyramids or 3 landmarks to see when the sun raised above

them to see the beginning of planting or fishing or the beginning of the autumn

to prepare for the harvest or the cold season.

 

Here we are following Vedic astrology or sidereal astrology, which is more

precise and has more tools for research and predictions. Vedic astrology

follows the planets across the sidereal sky or the sky as it is seen at night.

 

In some astronomical magazines they may say that Saturn is now in Gemini but at

night we can see the sky and see that Saturn is still in Taurus. How is it

that the beautiful Aldebaran is in Gemini in tropical astrology-astronomy when

Aldebaran has been a landmark for Taurus for thousands of years?

 

In India or Vedic astrology, we can hear "what is your janma rasi and your janma

naksatra. Janma = birth, rasi = your horoscope or sign where you have your moon

at birth, and naksatra = constellation.

 

There are 12 signs of the zodiac as you know which are represented within an

square divided in 12 areas, segments or regions. In Vedic architecture, the

square is the perfect figure in the universe.

 

There are 3 main styles in India to represent the horoscope. I prefer the North

Indian style but i can read as well the South Indian style or the Bengal style.

But, this is just a matter of preference.

 

>From the horoscope North Indian style, you can see that the rising sign or

ascendant is always represented at the middle top of the graphic and in the

south Indian style, it is represented with some letters like LAG for lagna or

Cap for Capricorn lagna or with 10, the number for Capricorn. The next sign

rules the 2nd house, which is Aquarius. By following the rest of the signs and

giving one sign per house you will arrive at the 12th sector or 12th house which

should be the previous sign to your rising sign. In your case, it should be

Sagittarius.

 

Every astrologer on this list is used to the order of the signs and their own

chart. However, if there is any questions just ask, i do not bite.

 

For a reading of transits you can follow your moon sign as a priority or your

rising sign as well. But the moon sign is a priority when reading the

transits.

 

So, in your case your chart will have Capricorn as the 1st house and the next

sign of Aquarius will rule the second house. So your moon chart or Chandra

lagna will look like this:

 

1st house = Capricorn

2 = Aqu

3 = Pis

4 = Ari

5 = Tau

6 = Gem

7 = Can

8 = Leo

9 = Vir

10 = Lib

11 = Sco

12 = Sag

 

CB or Chandra Balas

Beside the ending time for the moon in Capricorn you are suppose to write CB 1

to indicate your Chandra bala 1 and do so with the rest of your moon houses, CB

2, CB 3 etc until CB 12. When you consult the moon calendar, you can see when

the moon is in Libra. On those days (about 60 hours), the moon will be in

transit on Libra or your 10th Moon sign or 10th house from the your moon or CB

10.

 

Please notice that the moon takes about 60 hours to cross one sign and therefore

in some days the moon will not end any sign and you may see only the sign where

the moon is on that day. For example, Ar = Aries, Ta = Taurus and so on.

Nevertheless, beside those letters, you are supposed to put your CB 1, CB 2

etc, to indicate to you on the calendar, which Chandra bala the moon has on

that particular day.

Chandra Bala or CB is the strength (bala) of your moon (Chandra) sign. So you

have 12 Chandra balas.

 

When the moon is in CB 1, the moon is starting a new cycle for you and is

bringing new energies to you.

CB 2. The moon in transit across your moon house 2, indicates things related to

family, assets etc. Indications of your 2nd house.

CB 3. This transit is connected to communications, short travels etc.

CB 4. Here the moon will focus on home affairs, education, mother, mind etc

CB 5. This sector is related to higher instructions, intentions, diplomacy,

love, children, previous life, games, etc

CB 6. Obstacles, enemies or illnesses are focus here by the moon.

CB 7. Partners, marriage etc are more prominent.

CB 8. Unexpected results, inheritances, the end of things, death etc are more prominent.

CB 9. When the moon comes to this house, Guru, good luck, religion, belief

system, father etc will be more prominent.

CB 10. Here, karma, vocation, profession etc is more prominent.

CB11. When the moon comes to this house, friends, elder siblings, earnings,

income will be more prominent.

CB 12. The moon in transit over this house is likely to indicate losses, or

tendencies for freedom, liberation or expenditure.

 

Notice that the Moon in CB 6, 8 or 12 indicate a bad transit for you. This is

because Chandra bala 6 indicates struggles, CB 8 indicates death and CB 12

indicates losses or falls. So while in transit the CB 6,8, or 12 in increasing

proportion will be bad for some activities although good for others like

meditation, charity etc. Increasing proportion means that the CB 6 is

relatively mild and the CB12 is the hardest.

 

As astrologer you can read like this but remember that a planet in those houses

will alter the effects of the moon on the individual. You should use your

knowledge, experience and intuition when assessing a reading.

 

How to use the moon calendar? By observing when customers get in touch, we can

see a pattern. Mostly the customers ring or get in touch after having felt the

effects of the moon in their bad houses, or when there is a good or bad transit

for you. Experience will tell you. I have been using this calendar since

perhaps 1978 when i used to calculate it, following the rules given by Raman in

his book Muhurtha and with the help of a small calculator.

 

Later on, a computer wizard and my first student made a computer programme to

get the calendar, calculate horoscopes and gave me a computer Vic 20 in 1982.

All that made my astrology life easier.

 

Tara Bala. Regarding the Tara bala. An example. Suppose that your moon

naksatra is Uttarashada or constellation 21, which is ruled by the sun.

 

Lets see now the Naksatras.

There are 27 Naksatras or constellations and they are divided into 3 groups ruled by a planet.

 

1 10 19 Ketu

2 11 20 Venus

3 12 21 Sun

4 13 22 Moon

5 14 23 Mars

6 15 24 Rahu

7 16 25 Jupiter

8 17 26 Saturn

9 18 27 Mercury

 

Notice that your moon constellation is 21 or Uttarashada, which is ruled by the

sun. This is why we say that you were born under the main period or dasa of

the sun. Notice that constellations 3, 12 (2+1=3) and 21 (2+1=3) are ruled by

the sun, and they are the Tara Bala 1.

 

You can follow the Moon calendar and see when the Moon is in C1 or Constellation

21. Besides the ending time or when the moon leaves that particular

constellation and starts the next constellation you should write TB1 for Tara

Bala 1. The next constellation 22 is your TB 2, next is TB 3. This means

that constellations 9, 18 or 27 will be you TB 7 and C1, C10 or C19 are your TB

8 and so on until you fill C5, C14, or C23 as your TB 3.

 

The effects of the tara balas are more or less like this:

 

TB1= When the moon comes to a constellation which is TB1, we have many things

in our head that we get the tendencies to be space out or lacking in

concentration to the point that we become prone to accidents. More alert is

needed in those days.

TB2= During this tara bala, activities started here, have the tendency to

increase our fortunes.

TB3= This TB is the worst and much care has to be put on. A friend of mine

said that during this TB, his health was weaker and when old he did not go out

or talk to avoid health deterioration. He lived to see 93.

TB4= This is a good TB bringing positive results to activities started here.

TB5= A bad TB and new activities should not be started here.

TB6= A good TB.

TB7= A bad TB.

TB8= Increases good luck because it is a friendly constellation.

TB9= Increases good luck because it is a friendly constellation.

 

Routine activities or activities already started are ok. But when starting new

activities, try to avoid bad TB. Bad TB in increasing proportion are TB1, 5 7

and 3. TB1 is the mildest and TB3 is the worst.

 

I hope that this clarifies the use of the moon calendar otherwise question are

welcome. The moon calendar is very useful.

 

Although i can follow this calendar as seen on the list, for my students and

customers i provide the calendar in a calendar format as provided by print

Artist. It takes me up to 1 hour to adjust the 12 months according to moon

sign and moon naksatra but the result is that a calendar can be seen clearly

and it has a lot of pages for guidance and explanation if they get stuck.

 

In my own life, i always put on the wall the monthly moon calendar and astro

calendar and they are very useful to myself or to people when they come for

astro readings.

 

To me the calendar is very practical to follow or see at a glance. ******

This moon calendar is based as a matter of example on someone having the Moon

sign in Cancer and in the constellation of Pushya (8th on the list of

constellations). For other signs you have to adjust it accordingly or get in

touch with me for advise.

 

I cannot post here the 36 different calendars needed. We have 12 signs of the

zodiac, each one having 3 naksatras or constellations. Therefore, there are 36

(12 X 3 = 36) different moon calendars. This means that your moon calendar can

be shared by only 1 in 36 people or by those that have a similar moon sign and

moon constellation. Then again, this moon calendar is calculated for GMT, and

other time zones in the world (there are 24 of them) have to either add or

subtract the times given here.

 

There are almost 600 members in this GJLIST, therefore 600 / 27 = 22. This

means that following the law of probabilities, we must have here some 22

members having the moon in Cancer and moon in Pushya. For them, this calendar

has been calculated but according to GMT.

 

Perhaps with the demand, later on Das may be inspired to offer this format in

his GJ astro-computer programme and in that way by just pressing few buttons

you could have it done according to your location.
