2-Rhoda from Mark K. re. the transits recently.....

[Guest guest]

once again mark, thanks for the transit report.You're so very welcome...

i was racking my brains all day wondering why i

was so sluggish and irritable It's such

a comfort to at least begin to understand why!When we discover time

and time again, similar patterns or cycles, we discover exactlywhy

we react in so many ways...Then, of course, the point is to

look ahead, a week, 2 even 3 and 4 weeks... and writedown which days

are difficult for us...I like to call them the Auspicious and

Inauspicious days for ourselves.....Then, we can manipulate

our life around these Cosmic weather days....and take better

advantage of these trends....The next goal, however, is to

figure out what we can do to grow out of the malefic nessof any of

the planets...so that in future transits....we don't get so weirded

out....Then...i just watched myself, flow thru the

day.and guess what? i was awakened at around 8am after getting only 3hours

of sleep and that made me so crabby. i did what i had to do for my spouse

and went back into bed, refusing to stay awake. slept until noon and then

slowly got around doing things.moon in aries for me falls in

my 6th house and that is where my natal ketu is.added to that mark, you

wrote about the transit ketu in leo aspecting the transit moon and wow, it

was at 5 degrees something at 8am here in india!!!This is a brilliant insight for yourself.... Not only

which transit is rough for you but in terms of your own rising sign and

related houses...Well done!Also, your experience shows

that we all do experience the transits at very much the same time...Only we experience these at different times due to being in different

time zones....

now it is 9pm and i feel a lot

better.

as you know 6th house is subordinates and

servants , and boy did i have my share of irritation with one of them!

thanks to our awareness, i just kept telling

myself,it would pass off soon.Another

juicy detail which confirms the truth of this transit going through your

6th house!good job!

keep the good work going mark, i enjoy

reading each and every transit report that you send to us.Will do! For me, Astrology came alive when I

learned to first experience the transits!Astrology is vibrant

and alive in the every day movements of the stars...And, now, 21

years later, having done a chart for each day!I can honestly say,

how much nature has taught me by allowing me to watch what she does...All the rules and principles of Jyotish for example,

can be verified in watching the day by day transits....Conjunctions, aspects....it's all there in the realities of the

stars!

DIVINE THANKS

rhoda You're so very welcome....Jai

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.”
