On 30th September 2023, @ around 1800 hrs, Mars is entering into Libra sign , where Ketu is already placed, on the verge of Rashi gandant (as Ketu will transit into Virgo sign on 30th October). Rather both the planets are on Rashi gandant, therefore weak in nature and both Mars & Ketu will be in same Nakshatra (Chitra) and  in same Charan / Pad (IIIrd Charan) as well, whose lordship is again with Mars.

 

As we all know that when the energy of two planets comes in contact with each other, some kind of disharmony may arise, however, here in their case, it is other way round as Ketu behaves like a Mars, therefore, when both planets conjunct together, their energies will multiply. (To many fold).

Mars and Ketu, both being fiery in nature, signify anger, violence/ destruction, recklessness, and impulsiveness. This combination also causes various psychological issues as well.

 

It is pertinent to mention that they both will be in Libra Sign in Six Varg charts including Rashi and Navamsh chart, with  Vimshopak bal above 16, this makes both planets very strong in respective Varg Chart.

 

Libra is the sign where both malefic planets are meeting together and this sign also represents the 7th house ; house of relationship and conjugal life, therefore , likely to nurture tendency to show impulsive behavior in relationship.

 

On the positive note, the Mars-Ketu conjunction gives not only tremendous self-confidence and courage but also cruelty and aggression.

 

Therefore, this is one of the intense events of the year.  The similar kind of combination formed way back in the year 2004 on Nov 15, in Libra sign but in the Nakshatra of Rahu (Swati).

 

Let’s take a look at the important historical events of the world during Mars Ketu conjunction in 2004 –

 1. 22 Nov - Large scale protests began across Ukraine due to the presidential election                              allegations. The Orange Revolution begins in Ukraine

2. 11Nov -- YYasser Arafat's death through unidentified causes confirmed by Palestine                            Liberation Organization, 

 h unidentified causes confirmed by Palestine                              Liberation Organization, 

Important Historical event of India during this period –

 1. 23 Dec  - 9th Prime Minister of India – Narsimha Rao passed away.

2. 26 Dec  - Tsunami caused by a 9.3 magnitude earth quake cause widespread devastation                         in  Sri Lanka, India and other Asian countries , killing 2,30,000 people.   

 

The Aries, Taurus, Libra, and Capricorn Signs, will be most affected Rashis due to  Mars-Ketu combination, and if these rashis located in Upchay sthan and also aspected by Jupiter or Venus can produce substantial good results, otherwise malefic results can be expected in Kendr or Trikon Sthan.   

 

 Education - Responsible Houses in Horoscope

v  It is the mother (4th house), the first person to enter into the child’s life, she is the one who brings the child into this world and right from day one of his/her birth, she takes care of everything and the learnings begin.  She is not only responsible for the growth as a child but for every aspect of life. In Vedic astrology, 2nd house represents the “sanskar”, the basic /primary education starts from immediate family. This is the house of possessions as well, therefore, whatever he receives from family, will go along in his life.

v  To understand the level of education, it is necessary to study the second house. The primary education is to be analyzed through the second house. This house is about the education that a child receives from his home. It also tells us about the rituals that a child learns in the early stages of his life. This house plays a vital role as the primary education of a child forms the foundation of his educational life.

v  Fourth house - is associated with Mother and all sorts of happiness. This house is studied to know more about educational status till school life. This house also tells us more about higher education. This house covers the primary as well as secondary education of a child.

v  Fifth house - is for knowledge, remembrance, wisdom, about music, concentration, luck. The fifth house also outlines whether native would be able to achieve educational degrees like B.A, B.Sc. etc.

v  The ninth house - is about the philosophical education, mainly the higher education like Philosophy, Science, Literature, imagination, analytical power, and the higher / professional degrees such as MBBS, LLM, PhD etc. Once the child begins to understand the world, the role of father (9th house – the dharm) becomes important because he has an exposure to the outside world (the skills of life) and how to tackle the outer world. He is such an important person (nevertheless, after mother) for helping him for higher assessments. It is the father who takes the child to next level of life, seeking a higher possibility, a guru is must, who guides the understudy to achieve the ultimate goal of life. You owe your mental, intellectual, emotional and spiritual development to your Guru. If you are successful, dev or the divine is a natural reality. These all are just making a statement about the natural process of life.

v  It would be hasty decision without considering the role of 8th house in education (higher education), without its blessings, native would not accomplish his research & related studies, therefore, negating the importance of 8th house would lead to incomplete analysis.

v  Therefore, from education perspective, considering above factors, we need to explore these houses i.e. 4th,2nd,9th,5th, and 8th house, and their lords, the planets posited in these houses etc.

The Nine Planets & their Significations

Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn; plus, Rahu & Ketu (Shadow planets)

 

§  Natural Benefic - Jupiter & Venus – Venus is more benefic than Jupiter, due to feminine nature. However, they both, always tend to give good results, capable of providing something good, in other words, they make life easy (however, they do have malefic qualities as well). As they are benefic / full of goodness, therefore, they are pious, transparent, positive and give constructive results.

 

§  Natural malefic – Saturn, Rahu, Ketu & Mars. Mars has been considered the most malefic planet due to full of energy. And Saturn is considered the least malefic due to lazy attitude. Therefore, Rahu is more malefic than Saturn & Ketu is more malefic than Rahu.

 

§  Kroor (Cruel) Planet – The Sun is the special planet, however, designated as cruel planet. As we know it has lot of heat, dry, fiery becomes fierce (energy & needs to burn it on daily basis) and tend to burn others (planets making combust) or the house where it is posited, therefore designated as Kroor planet.  It travels at a uniform speed/ motion. It is a royal planet, therefore, does not mould himself, rather, forces other planets to change their temperament (irrespective of their nature).  The Sun is the king of planets. Cruelty is also necessary feature to a king, so that the Public will have some fear towards king. As we know he is having lordship of Leo sign, relevant to Lion, the King of forest. 

 

§  Conditional Benefic & Malefic – The Moon & Mercury. They are parasite, cannot function without support. Thus, they both can become benefic & Malefic, plus they perform important role in native’s life (from childhood till death) as they both control our mind & intellect; they easily get influenced by other factors. So, understanding their temperament is very important.

                      i.        Moon – Moon is good / benefic if it is far away from the Sun. If it is placed either in 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th house from the Sun, it is benefic else it becomes malefic.

Or we can say this way as well –

 

§  Moon is benefic from Shukl Paksh Saptami till Krishn Paksh Saptami &

 

§  Moon is malefic from Krishan Paksh Astami till Shukl Paksh Ashtami.

 

                     ii.        Mercury – Mercury placed alone in a benefic house or with a benefic planet gives benefic results else placed with malefic or in malefic houses, will become malefic.

 

§  Functional benefic - A Planet (or planets) become functionally benefic as a result of ruling certain houses, which means even though they are not inherently one of the benefic planets, they may be assigned (to bless) some positive or malefic influence on the horoscope based on their condition in it. A planet attaining the lordship of Trines (1st, 5th & 9th houses) becomes functional benefic planet. Point to note that planet becoming functional benefic would focus more on his Mooltrikon Rashi. There are few ascendents in which one sign is falling in trine and its second sign occupying either of malefic houses, shall be discussed separately in forthcoming lessons.

 

§  Functional Malefic - A Planet (or planets) become functionally malefic as a result of ruling certain house/houses, which means even though they are not inherently one of the malefic planets, they may be assigned (to punish) some negative or malefic influence on the horoscope based on their condition in it.

इसलिए, छठा भाव मूल रूप से छठी इंद्रिय है। यह हमें बताता है या यों कहें कि हमें जीवन में होने वाली (बुरी) घटनाएं के बारे में चेतावनी देता है।

6th भाव 2nd se 5वां भाव है और 5वां भाव बुद्धि, और ज्ञान का भाव है, और जैसा कि हम सभी जानते हैं कि दूसरा भाव ( wealth, possessions, expression, & capacity to communicate) अभिव्यक्ति, संवाद करने की क्षमता का प्रतिनिधित्व करता है, इसलिए 6वां भाव हमें बताता है (how to express our feelings and concepts to others,) कि अपनी भावनाओं और अवधारणाओं को दूसरों के सामने कैसे व्यक्त करें, अपने अनुभव और ज्ञान के आधार पर. और ये दूसरे - अन्य परिवार के सदस्य, मित्र और सहकर्मी हो सकते हैं। 6वां भाव (अंतर्निहित) कर्म karmic difficulties कठिनाइयों को इंगित करता है, उनकी (अन्य) आक्रामकता, सकारात्मक / नकारात्मक के माध्यम से, इस जीवन में दूसरों की सेवा करते हुए चुनौती का सामना करने के लिए संघर्ष। दूसरे शब्दों में, यह हमें बाधाओं को दूर करने की क्षमता और जीवन के लक्ष्यों को प्राप्त करने के लिए लड़ने और साहस के बारे में बताता है।

·         आज की दुनिया प्रतिस्पर्धियों और दुश्मनों से भरी है, हालांकि, हमारे असली दुश्मन हमारे मालिक, सहकर्मी या व्यावसायिक साझेदार हैं जो हमें अपने लक्ष्यों को प्राप्त करने के लिए नीचे लाने की कोशिश करते हैं।

·         हर दिन काम पर जाने और ऐसा करने के लिए अनुशासित मानसिकता रखने की कठिनाई का प्रतिनिधित्व करता है।

·         छठा भाव उपचय भाव (विकास का भाव) भी है, इस प्रकार, हम नकारात्मक प्रभावों को शांत कर सकते हैं, through our knowledge, and be transparent to yourself बशर्ते हम आत्मविश्वासी /स्पष्ट नेतृत्व वाले और अनुशासित हों।  अनुषासन का मतलब सिर्फ समय पर सोना, जगना, खान पीना और अभ्यास या योग करना नहीं है II यहा मैं चिंतक जी का उदाहरण देना चाहूंगा, कल 3 बजे उठकर अपना रोज का पूजा पाठ पूरा किया और फिर दिल्ली के लिए शताब्दी पकड़ी, इसका मतलब है कि उसने अपनी दिन-प्रतिदिन की गतिविधियों को नहीं छोड़ा I

·         छठे भाव में मजबूत ग्रह हमें कार्य करने के लिए प्रेरित करते हैं, दिन-प्रतिदिन चुनौतियों का सामना करते हैं और यहां तक ​​कि हमें दूसरों की मदद करने के लिए भी प्रेरित करते हैं।

·         यदि छठा भाव या उसका स्वामी कमजोर हो तो उस स्थिति में जातक को खुद पर ध्यान केंद्रित करना होता है, कमियों का पता लगाना होता है और अनुशासित रहना होता है।
