Moon’s passing through

Aries,

Now

 

From Pisces

into Aries…..

 

 

Did you notice the shift in the air within the last 24 hours? Moon was moving through Pisces and then began its

monthly transit into Aries. What a contrast

between Pisces and Aries in general.

 

What I love the most about watching the Transits is each day the

Moon acts as a receiver of the Cosmic rays of the Sun, stars and planets

and we get to experience the positives and negatives of it all!

So, the Moon was passing through Pisces.

And, you could feel that delicious, pure, spiritual and knowledge

oriented Piscean energy. For me, I had two

delicious philosophical and knowledge days supplemented by some very good

spiritual, consciousness days.

Then, the Moon shifted into Aries. And,

you could really feel it! Having watched the

transits now for over 20 years each month when the Moon moves through

Aries you can feel this shift. Actually,

there’s nothing wrong, really with the Moon’s transit through

Aries. It’s only different than Pisces

and represents a more doing, and Aries accomplishing sort of

time.

When you allow yourself to shift with the stars you’ll feel

the most natural and in-tune with nature.

 

This month and year however, there are two functional malefic

influences that are also a part of the Moon’s transition through

Aries. Ever since Ketu moved into Leo, this

year, Ketu has also been aspecting or directly influencing Aries as

well. Therefore, not only is Moon in Aries

different but Ketu’s influence will also be felt during these 2

½ days.

Typical Ketu feelings include more heat, fire, anger or

resentment. They say Ketu acts like Mars and

you’ll feel that added Marish quality during these days. In some ways this can be good because these days

then can be used for physical and outward actions and achievements. This is especially appropriate since the Moon is

waxing and more than ½ full now.

In other months, especially when the Sun moves into Aries, in the

spring, those Moon in Aries days will represent the New Moon, so the

dynamics of these Moon in Aries days will be completely

different.

Also, you may have been feeling a tad restless or rough emotionally

during the last 24 hours. Moon entered Aries

yesterday at 1pm on the

15th (cst-US) and then collided with Ketu’s

4th degree 9th house aspect at 8pm, here.

You may have noticed feeling strange and upset emotionally or hard

to fall asleep or sleep these last few hours.

Now, the Moon’s at the 11th degree of Aries so

it’s past the direct influence of Ketu and moving towards Saturn

which is at the 13th degree of Leo.

 

Therefore, don’t rush or be impatient over the next 2 degrees

or 4 hours. If you’re still feeling edgy

and especially impatient these are classic Saturn influences. This is the time to grow and be more with

Sani’s pure and positive qualities of silence, stillness and

patience. After 1pm, then, you’ll immediately feel another

shift and feel like a cloud or boulder has been passed and the sky or road

ahead will feel lighter and more ‘pleasant’.

 

Anyway, very fun sharing with you all these wonderful thoughts

about the great science of Jyotish and especially the transits.

 

 

Sincerely,

“Mark, thank you for all your help with

especially the transits. I’ve found the

transits very true to my experience quite a bit.

My question then is what do we do during negative or what you say,

malefic times?”

Terry

 

“Dear Terry: Very

good question. The benefices and malefics in

life are there to give us the two extremes of positive and negative. In truth everything is positive. So, even when we get sick, there is a silver lining

there because we get motivated to learn what we need to learn to NOT get

sick again!

However, if we’re at a place where we want to take advantage

of which days are going to be sunny and which days dark and stormy then

the transits are very powerful for that. Think

of the malefic times, especially, as stormy weather storms. We’re always interested in checking the

weather channel and seeing what the weather will be like coming

up!

Like that, we can look ahead and see which days are going to be

smooth and which one’s less so. Then, we

can plan around the more negative or inauspicious times. I personally, also find that the so-called malefic

times are really good times for personal healing.

I also find that the negative vibrations are playing out in my body

and I feel a desire to be more silent or calm inside.

Especially rough Moon and Saturn transits have been very helpful

for me to re-direct my energy to create more emotional even ness and

attunement especially, with Saturn.

So, to answer your question more specifically, use malefic times to

avoid important events and experiences and allow yourself to be more in a

healing mode, resting or taking it easy as much as you can.

First step, of course, is to watch the transits for 2 or 3 months

each day and discover which patterns are the most important for you. You also, will find which days are the most

positive and easy.

Those will then, be your typical auspicious days. Generally, there are 5 or 6 really positive days

each month. Then, there are about 20 days

which are kind of medium with 5 or 6 really awful or negative days. See, if you can find your

‘days’.

Then, wrap your life and plans around this knowledge. You’ll find yourself more happy and more

successful in the world, as well.”
