SANKRANTI --- POINTS OF TRANSCENDENCE BETWEEN CONSTELLATIONS:
Dates when planets shift constellations--Moments of stillness or meditation and prayer:
The Sun enters into Sagittarius constellation at 7:08 am on Dec. 15th. Till then it remains in Scorpio, indicating a tendency on the level of leadership, government, large business, and one's soul --to introspect or do research on what to do next. When the Sun enters Sagittarius on Dec. 15th it indicates a period of a month where leadership and large organizations, government, etc. may be focused on the higher values of bringing dharma to society.
Mercury will enter Capricorn constellation from Sagittarius constellation starting on December 27th at 6:22 pm, which favors practical independent focused thinking. Mercury will also remain combust (close to the Sun) until Dec. 20th. This means one may feel a bit pitta in the nervous system and communication may be influenced by this.
Mars will be in Scorpio constellation till :Dec. 18th when in shifts at 11:03 pm into the Sagittarius constellation. When it shifts into the next constellation, the emphasis will be going from doing research into solutions to trying to aright injustice and fighting for the underdog. Those people with Sagittarius, Virgo, Gemini or Capricorn rising signs (or Sun or Moon in Sagittarius etc.) may find themselves experiencing more inclined to be pitta in relationship or personality, as Mars will influence these constellations directly.
Saturn's position in Leo, sign of leadership will continue transforming politics and governments. Saturn being an influence of purity simplicity and honesty will help reveal any tendencies in government which are less than Dharmic. Starting Dec. 31st Saturn will go retrograde so it may bring an introspective flavor to figuring out how to eliminate waste, and conserve our resources in January 2009 (especially nationally).
Jupiter will shift into the next position of Capricorn constellation on Dec. 9th at 11:10 am. This marks a more inward conservative tendency in financial and educational matters. Since during this time till next January Jupiter is in the gap between constellations---its power to create stability in the financial and knowledge arena is fainter. This is a good time to meditate and go on a retreat.
Rahu and Ketu are presently in Capricorn and Cancer constellations respectively. Rahu in Capricorn creates an influence of non-traditional ways of doing things. This means that perhaps new solutions to old situations will be emphasized. Ketu in Cancer creates a more spiritual inward influence in one's emotions. It also may bring a quality of more witnessing and less attachment to one's consciousness---which may be useful in being more objective and seeing things clearer.
Until the 28th of December Venus is going to be in Capricorn constellation with Rahu which may lead to a more restless outward bent to the senses and need for more space in relationships. This tendency will be more apparent for people who have dominant Venus in their lives---either by rising sign (e.g. Taurus or Libra) or by placement in their charts.
At 7:54 pm on Dec. 28th Venus will enter the constellation Aquarius which leads to more equality and freedom in relationships as well as use of the artistic side of life to create innovative technologies for humanity. Women may come more into the forefront of politics as innovators of change for society.
SPECIAL VEDIC HOLIDAYS
This month mainly celebrates two events:
Dec. 8th which is birth of the Bhagavad Gita spoken by Krishna to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra in India---celebrating the revelation of Vedic Wisdom to help humanity on the level of daily life (the practical application of Vedic wisdom).
Dec. 9th--the ingress of Jupiter into the sign of Capricorn signaling a return to practicality and hammering out financial as well as spiritual matters in terms of Saturnian dedication and hardwork.
Saturn's nature is simplicity, no excess, commitment, patience and dedication, and perfecting things within bounderies. So with Jupiter's entry into Capricorn we can see a year of hard work and dedication to solve our world problems, as well as personal problems.
Wishing everyone a continuing Year of Success and Fulfillment!
