Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 Dear Dr. Satya Yesterday night i was thinking about the same. And my intutition was strongly suggesting that jupiters transit in makha would be deemed inauspicious, and rest not. I remember that in a classic it is mentioned that it is a sin to perform marriage during jupiters transit in leo, wonder why. so the intution seems to be working, thanks and regards partha om tat sat vedic astrology, "Dr Satya Prakash Choudhary" <satyaprakasika> wrote: > > > Aum Namah Shivaya > > Dear group, > > To my knowledge none of the reasons cited on the list so far seem to > be either appropriate or clear.
