JUPITER ENDS RETROGRADE AND TURNS DIRECT ON 13TH

Jupiter has been under Retrograde since 16th June 2009. This period of Retrograde can be described as four months of journey into the alignment of our integrity with our Soul’s Purpose. A long drawn desire which might be unfruitful for years could have come into focus to get materialized in these four months period.

We might have been working hard and waiting to see the results of our actions. We all were into understanding the reflections of our beliefs and values in these four months.

We need to reschedule ourselves from 13th October as Jupiter is turning direct in Capricorn. We might be experiencing unexpected events turning in our life and making our intuitions and goals intact. Some new Job opportunities may be round the corner for people who are putting efforts in the Professional arena.


We might be looking at our inherent strengths and trying to utilize our strengths by focusing on the right plane. A thorough understanding of our past events could have been going on with an idea of making our future bright. Most of the things that are happening around us as well as in the Global arena will have a reality check after Jupiter ends his Retrograde and turns direct.  There could be some significant changes in the Political and Economical arena.

Of course our energy levels could have dried up to some extent but did we really use our energy levels in the right arena in the past four months. The actual results of our hard efforts can be seen after 13th October. If we have worked out our energy levels to expand our wisdom, virtues, spiritual learning then sure the Planet Jupiter is going to give us fruitful results in the coming future.

Finally if there is a good alignment of our actions and thoughts to fulfill our desires and learning then we are going to enter into a bright future along with Jupiter's Journey into Aquarius.

THE PANCHANG

It can be bifurcated as Panch Anga which means five limbs.  The five elements of Panchanga are useful in timing the events.  The Panchanga is widely used to know the auspicious, inauspicious nature of a particular time period.


Varana (Week Day)


Each week Day has a Planetary Ruler.  The seven Week Days are Ruled by Seven Planets.


Nakshatra


This is derived from the Position of the Moon in the Lunar Mansion.


Tithi 


The Lunar Month is divided in to 30 tithis.  The first fifteen tithis are from the Waxing Moon Phase which is known as Shukla Paksha.  The remaining fifteen tithis are from Waning Moon Phase and it is known as Krishna Paksha.  Full Moon Day is Called as Purnima and the exact Conjunction tithi of Sun and Moon is called "Amavasya" which denotes a Black Lunar Day and considered highly Inauspicious day as per the Vedic Calender.


Karana  


Each tithi is divided into two halves and called as Karanas.  There are only 11 Karanas but repeat to span the full cycle of
60 Karanas.


Yoga  


This is based on the combination of Sun and Moon.  There are 27 Yogas associated with 27 Nakshatras.  This can be calculated by adding the Longitude of the Sun and Moon.  The arrived figure should have an addition of 80.  Multiples of 360 should be subtracted from the arrived figure so that a degree range of 0-360 can be attained.  Based on the degree arrived Nakshatra has to be determined. 


These combinations have to be ascertained on the basis of Indian or Hindu Calender.  This is the basic concept behind the measurement of Time.  Each element of Panchanga has its own significance and offers an assistance in the interpretation of the Horoscope.
