Namaste.
Sun has arrived in the sign of Gemini. And in Gemini, Jupiter is also transiting. So very soon, around the 25th of June, you will see Sun–Jupiter conjunction.
And let me tell you, combust Jupiter is not bad. There is a myth that combust planets are weak. They cannot provide any results. That is all myth. Maybe my next book will be on combust planets. Let’s see when it comes.
See, the sign Gemini is ruled by Mercury. Wheresoever Mercury is connected, the word that comes to me is multiply. And that is why the best day for shopping is Wednesday. Whenever you go for shopping on Wednesday, it is considered very auspicious—meaning next time also you will again come for shopping. You will get more money to shop. Let’s say you have to go for a haircut. Wednesday is the best day. In fact, today is Monday and Monday you should never cut your hair. Tuesday is also not good. Thursday is also not good. But Wednesday and Friday both are good for haircut. Maybe this week I will also go for a haircut.
Looks like it is time.
So this coming of Sun in Gemini and its conjunction with Jupiter around 25 June is a sign that there is going to be certain positive development in your life. Whether it is job, business, marriage, love, relationship—you are bound to see some positive development between 15 June to 15 July. Because as per our Vedic astrology, Sun transits around 15th or 16th of each month. So today is 16th June and Sun has arrived in Gemini.
Always remember, the sign Gemini falls in the 3rd House of Kalapurush Kundali. And every love affair or every relation begins with communication—talking, phone call, chat. You see how the love affair or how the relationship develops—it always develops first through interaction. First comes the interaction, the talking and the talking and the talking, the chatting, and then it comes down to relationship. And eventually the relationship manifests, which is the 11th house. And that is why the 3rd, 7th and 11th are also known as the Kama Trikona, meaning the sexual angle.
The Sun’s arrival in Gemini, accompanied by transiting Jupiter, brings a wave of vibrant possibilities, especially for those hoping for a promising job, a financial breakthrough or meaningful marriage proposals. Gemini, the sign of connections, is the heartbeat of all interactions, whether of the mind, the body, or the soul. And remember, interaction always requires more than one. It thrives on multiplicity, on pairs, on groups, on the dance of duality. That’s why Gemini, by its very nature, leads to multiplication. Whatever Gemini touches in your chart, wherever it falls, whichever planet resides there, it will multiply its influence. It could multiply your joy, or if afflicted, it could magnify your struggles. But multiply it surely will.
No wonder, Gemini is so often linked to twins or even triplets, as it symbolizes that cosmic urge for doubling, for pairing, for reflecting. In our Indian wisdom, Gemini is called Mithun, the sacred pair, the union of male and female energies. And it isn’t fascinating that from Mithun arises the word Maithun. Maithun means the intimate dance of union, of sexual togetherness. Think of how love begins. It always starts with interaction. A glance, a word, a poem, a melody, perhaps even a dance. The lovers speak, laugh and share. And slowly, slowly, through this beautiful flow of communication, they move closer until the bond becomes physical, until the union becomes complete.
I recall a little coffee shop that had a banner: “Everything begins over a cup of coffee.” And how true that is. Every relationship, every romance, every tale of togetherness begins with interaction. And that sacred domain belongs to Gemini, ruled by Mercury, the master of communication and connection. That is why in Vedic astrology, the third house, the seventh house, and the eleventh house are known as the Kama Trikona. This Trikona, or this sexual angle, is associated with desire and fulfillment. First comes the conversation—third house. Then the union—seventh house. And finally, through that union, the fruition of desire, the gain—eleventh house. Gemini, my fellows, is the sign that sets this beautiful sequence into motion, the sign where everything begins, often over a cup of coffee, a smile, or a simple hello.
And so, as the radiant Sun enters this lively, talkative, and ever curious sign of Gemini, let us take a moment to reflect on how this celestial shift touches each zodiac sign.
With the Sun’s brilliance now flooding Gemini, its rays illuminate Jupiter so intensely that Jupiter appears—as I say, appears—to be combust. I have seen time and again some of the brightest and most successful individuals blessed with what is termed as combust Jupiter or combust Mercury.
The truth is, combust planets are not weak at all. When a planet comes into such close proximity with the mighty Sun, its inherent qualities are in fact amplified, magnified. The only challenge is that the Sun’s overpowering light may overshadow those qualities. They may not get the immediate recognition or applause they deserve. The individual often has to put in greater effort, walk the harder path to gain acknowledgment. But when other chart factors lend their support, that recognition eventually comes. And it comes because of those very combust planets that once seemed hidden in the Sun’s glare.
In fact, maybe my 13th book in line will be dedicated to this very intense and fascinating subject: Combust Planets in Astrology. Because this is a topic that truly deserves deeper understanding free from misconceptions. And I look forward to bringing that wisdom to all of you, especially to my close followers
Sun–Jupiter Conjunction in Gemini on 25 June 2025

As the mighty Sun moves into Gemini on 15 June, it joins hands with Jupiter on 25 June 2025, creating a powerful conjunction in this sign of communication, learning, trade, and relationships.

Though Jupiter appears combust, its nearness to the Sun brings hidden blessings—a powerful inner glow that may not be seen at once by the world, but which supports your rise over time. Put in sincere effort, stay grounded, and let divine grace guide your journey.
Remember, combust planets never give negative results unless your chart itself has many afflictions. In astrology, people often condemn certain nakshatras, aspects such as combust or retrograde planets.
To affirm God, great intelligence is needed. A subtle sensitivity is needed. Total wakefulness of the heart is needed. A purified state of consciousness is needed. A little light is needed within you. But to deny God, nothing is needed. No commitment is needed. That is why people in the world condemn.
The psychology of condemnation is cheap psychology—an easy way out. If you start condemning everything, your genius will be “proven,” and there is no cost to it.
There is a very famous story: “The Great Fool.”
In a village, there was a fool. He was upset because no matter what he said, people laughed at him. Even when he said something right, people laughed. One day a monk came. That night, the fool fell at the monk’s feet and asked for a blessing. “Is there no way I can become a little intelligent?” The monk said, “There is a way. Condemn everything.”
The monk told him: “For seven days, whatever anyone says, make a negative statement. Someone says, ‘What a beautiful sunrise,’ you say, ‘What beauty? It comes every day.’ If someone says, ‘Jesus’ words are lovely,’ say, ‘What’s new in them? It’s all stale, borrowed.’ Always stay in the negative. Come to me after seven days.”
The idiot returned after seven days, with disciples and flower garlands. A band was playing. He said, “It worked. People now bow to me. They say I am a genius.” The monk said, “Now never go positive. Stay in the negative, and no one will be able to defeat you.”
So now that I have said combust Jupiter is positive, many fools will condemn my statement just to appear intelligent. But as I said, the psychology of condemnation is a cheap psychology.
And as you all know me, I say what is, because I love you. And love is possible only when you are truthful to yourself.
Love to each one of you for following me for so many months and years. This journey is of sharing and caring. And it will continue as long as the good God wants me to continue.
I wish this new month, starting from 15 June till 15 July, proves more beneficial and positive for each one of you.
Remember, you are never alone. God is with you. Love is with you.
Jai Sri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
