Moola Nakshatra is directly connected with the sexual energy that dwells at the Mooladhara Chakra located at the base of the spine. It is necessary to remember that the energy within is sexual by nature and it is through this sexual energy that you create a new life. A new life is born through the sexual energy – you are born through this sexual energy, I am born through this sexual energy. So energy is sexual by nature because a new life is born naturally only through the sexual energy whose purpose is to create. So understand the fact that Moola Nakshatra is directly connected with creativity. The word “Kundalini” is very much abused by people who has made “Kundalini awakening” a fulltime business. Their so called Kundalini awakening courses charge you anywhere from 500 to 2000 dollars to awaken your Kundalini which is rooted in the Mooladhara Chakra. If such kind of awakening happens then I guess all those rich wealth men and women can buy Kundalini awakening shots over the counter by paying thousands of dollars and then we will have so many walking Buddhas on this planet! But this is not how the real awakening happens. Anyways so coming back to our subject – Moola is therefore the most significant Nakshatra when it comes to spiritual awakening. Any planet falling in Moola Nakshatra gets energized and spiritualized and something beautiful emerges but it emerges the way a phinex bird rises from the ashes. A phoenix obtains new life by rising from the ashes of its predecessor. Similarly when a planet falls in Moola – first the matters of that plannet are completely burnt to ashes and then from those ashes a new beautiful thing is created. “Die O yogi – die, sweet is dying” says the great divine spiritual master of all masters – the one and the only Shri Gorakhnath! Because in this universe there is nothing sweeter than death. DIE THAT DEATH and die such a death GORAKH DIED AND SAW, die that way in which Gorakh attained enlightenment. In the same way you die and see. One death we are already familiar with: in which the body dies, but our ego and mind go on living. This same ego finds a new womb. This same ego, troubled by new desires, again starts off on the journey. Even before leaving behind one body, it is already eager for another. This death is not the real death. It is said that one day a man met Gorakhnath and the man said that he was thinking of committing suicide. Gorakhnath said: “Go and commit it, but I tell you, afterwards you will be very surprised.”

That man said: “What do you mean? I came to you so that you would tell me ‘Don’t do it!’ I went to other sadhus. They all cautioned me: ‘Brother, don’t do it, suicide is a great sin.’”

Gorakh said: “Are you mad? No one can commit suicide. No one can even die. Dying is not possible. I warn you, do it and you will be very surprised. After committing suicide you will discover, ‘What! The body is left behind, but I am exactly as I was!’… And if you want to commit real suicide, then stay with me. If you want to play nonsense games, then it’s up to you — jump from some mountain, put your neck in a noose. But if you want the real death, then stay by my side. I will give you the art which brings on the great death, then there will be no possibility of returning again.” But that great death seems to us to be nothing but great death, this is why he is calling it sweet.

DIE, O YOGI, DIE! DIE, SWEET IS DYING. These beautiful deep of word of Gorakhnath is what Moola is also saying – because Moola’s purpose is to burn your ego – burn your illusions so that you come face to face with the reality – the ultimate truth – God consciousness. The start of the year 2024 beginning with Mars in Moola simply signify that this year is going to be a great transformative year for many – especially those who are blessed. Always remember to receive blessings – you should be ready to live your life in total surrender. People are shallow – they don’t want any pain. Without pain – there can be no transformation. And without transformation – there can be no new life! That is why Jesus mention about the process of REBORN. To REBORN – first you have to die and this death is not of the body but this death is of your ego, your illusions, your assumptions. Thus, Moola Nakshatra is a powerful force of transformation. On December 28, 2023, Mars will enter the realm of Moola, presenting yet another opportunity for mankind to undergo transformative phases. Spiritual seekers, evolving souls, and meditative beings can look forward to this wonderful phase. Mars is sexual energy and Moola is the very root – Mooladhar of this sexual energy. And so the very first month of 2024 is going to be a highly creative phase for many. And it feels so good to know that the new year 2024 will commence on an extraordinarily imaginative and innovative note. From 28th December to 14th January – Mars will transit through the transforming powerhouse and highly creative Nakshatra – Moola.

You will be surrounded by supportive friends who will guide you and assist in your professional growth. For Gemini natives, this is an extremely promising beginning. Personally, I have always admired these lively, intelligent companions who will undoubtedly thrive in the year 2024. Some of you may even experience financial abundance through inheritance or ancestral properties. Additionally, many Gemini individuals will make valuable contributions to the field of technology through their innovative ideas and creative talents.

For Leo men and women – Get ready for a year filled with excitement and creativity. 2024 is set to be the most captivating and romantic year for individuals born under the Leo sign. According to the English dictionary, romance is described as a kind of adventure. Love itself is an adventure – it happens spontaneously, without any clear reason. Love is always unpredictable, and in the new year of 2024, you will experience many spontaneous moments of love. Young lovers and hopeless romantics will discover new love connections. Love will be in the air, and it seems that you will be perfectly attuned to its frequency, allowing you to find happiness through new relationships.

Expect multiple short trips, business dealings, and new project endeavors that will keep you occupied throughout the year. Despite the busy schedule, it is essential to make time for your family as the year progresses. Unfortunately, during this period, some of you may receive news of the untimely passing of loved ones. Such is the nature of life – unpredictable, as death can strike without warning. However, this year also holds the potential for a fresh start for those who have been struggling to achieve success in their business ventures. As for job seekers, the message is clear: if you are currently unemployed, you will soon find yourself busy with work. Alternatively, if you are seeking better job opportunities, you can anticipate landing a position at a new company with an upgraded role and increased responsibilities. Overall, the year appears promising from a work perspective. It is important to remember that work provides financial stability but prioritizing work alone can cause you to miss out on precious moments with your family. Strive to maintain a healthy work-life balance, and everything will be alright.

For Libra men and women – Libra natives can look forward to an exciting year ahead in 2024, with both their relationships and finances set to flourish.

It is important to seize and enjoy these positive times while they last, appreciating the blessings that come your way.

This presents a perfect opportunity to embark on a complete makeover and work towards getting your body back in shape. If you have been contemplating making positive changes in your appearance, this is the year to take action. Alongside physical transformations, significant changes in the workplace are also on the horizon for Scorpios. These changes, though they may initially be unsettling, will ultimately prove beneficial for your career progression. Moreover, those hoping for a substantial increase in salary can look forward to positive news. This year will not disappoint, as you will receive the desired raise that you have been working towards. By the end of 2024, I foresee you wearing a smile on your face. Remember, when you smile, you radiate beauty. Don’t forget to share a photo of your beaming smile with me.

For Sagittarius men and women – The year 2024 is forecasted to bring both highs and lows in love and relationships for Sagittarius natives. It will be a turbulent ride, requiring increased vigilance and adaptability. Students, in particular, must put in extra effort to achieve good grades in their examinations. The road ahead will not be easy, demanding dedication and perseverance. However, if you have long-standing travel plans, this year will provide ample opportunities for you to explore foreign lands. Building business connections with individuals from different countries and cultures will prove advantageous. For those on a spiritual journey or practicing meditation, the new year of 2024 holds significant promise. Many Sagittarius individuals will encounter positive spiritual experiences and growth. The combined astrological influence of the new year and Mars in Mool transit suggests a challenging start. However, by the end of 2024, the efforts invested will bear rewarding outcomes.

For Pisces men and women – Pisces natives are set to face a challenging year due to the alignment of Rahu with your natal moon in Pisces. This cosmic conjunction indicates a period of obstacles and hurdles. However, there is a silver lining as the Mars transit in Moola brings a much-needed boost to your professional career. You can expect positive developments and advancements in your work sphere. It is important to brace yourself for sudden changes in the workplace that may initially disappoint you. However, these transformations will ultimately prove beneficial for your career growth and progress. It is crucial to stay motivated and carefully manage your expenses during this fluctuating financial period. While your finances may experience highs and lows, you will manage to meet your financial obligations. In this challenging time, it is essential to nurture strong relationships with your family. They can be a source of support and a helping hand when you need it the most. Maintain a low profile, focus on your work performance, and cultivate a positive mindset. Remember, what you focus on tends to grow. Stay happy, stay blessed, and navigate this year with resilience and determination.

Overall the transit of Mars in Moola signify that the year 2024 is going to be a highly transformative year for many – you are going to see a lot happening – many changes and many transformations happening through war, elections, revolution and agitations all around the world. Definetely – the year 2024 is going to be a disruptive year. Always remember – the greatest innovations often come from disruptive thinking. Disruptive leadership is a perfect sign of Moola – it is only through disruptive leadership that something good is build. So embrace the disruptiveness – it may seem uncomfortable but real success and real growth is never found in comfort zones – it is only found when you step out of your comfort zone – or when you are pushed out of your comfort zone! That’s what Moola does – and that’s why Moola means a lot to wise men who are perfectly aware that unless the thorn goes deep into your heart – you will not awaken. And the sole purpose of Moola and life is to awaken you so that you stop being an idiot and become aware of yourself and your actions.

With Mercury’s transit into Aquarius, this is a perfect time to shine and gain with your intellect, passion, and self-expression. When Mercury transits Aquarius – you get more power to express yourself and share your ideas and concepts with others. Always remember – Expression is Life and Repression is Suicide. Whenever you have a strong Mercury in your chart – you will be a very expressive person. The human world loves expressive people – people who can express well, people who can share, people who can talk well, people who can communicate effectively. On this note – I am reminded of a beautiful story. Two disciples of a great Master were walking in the garden of the Master’s house. They were allowed to walk every day, morning, evening. The walking was a kind of meditation, a walking meditation — just as Zen people do walking meditation. You cannot sit for twenty-four hours — the legs need a little movement, the blood needs a little circulation — so in Zen and in Sufism both, you meditate for a few hours sitting and then you start meditating walking. But the meditation continues; walking or sitting, the inner current remains the same.
They both were smokers. They both wanted to ask for the permission of the Master, so they both decided, “Tomorrow. At the most, he will say no, but we are going to ask. And it doesn’t seem such a sacrilegious act to smoke in the garden; we will not be smoking in his house itself. ”
The next day they met in the garden. One was furious — furious because the other was smoking — and he said, “What happened? I also asked, but he simply flatly refused and said no. And you are smoking? Are you not abiding by his orders?”
He said, “But he has said yes to me.
“This looked very unjust. And the first said, “I will go and immediately inquire as to why he said no to me and yes to you.”
The other said, “Wait a minute. Please tell me what you had asked.” He said, “What I had asked? I had asked a simple thing, ‘Can I smoke while meditating?’ He said, ‘No!’ and he looked very angry. ”
The other started laughing; he said, “Now I know what is the matter. I asked, ‘Can I meditate while smoking?’ He said ‘yes.’”
It all depends. Just a little difference, and life is totally something else. Now, there is a great difference. Asking, “Can I smoke while meditating?” is just ugly. But asking, ” Can I meditate while smoking?” — it’s perfectly okay. Good! At least you will be meditating.

It all depends on how you communicate – how you express a certain idea or question!

Always remember – Life is neither misery nor bliss. Life is an empty canvas, and one has to be very artistic about it. Enough for now. I will be back soon with a new podcast. Thanks to all my close followers – I know you are listening and because you are listening – you are improving – your life is improving and it will continue to improve as long as you listen and implement the many insights that I share with you – the first and foremost being – the daily practice of meditation and chanting.

Next month in March 2024 – my new book “Come Back Home” is coming and in this book I have share 7 Mantras that can change you inside out. Always remember – life changes for good when you change for good. It all begins with that one person – YOU.

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Always remember Pisces is a wonderful sign of the beyond – the unseen, the unknown, the spiritual cosmos. And Venus is exalted in Pisces because – Pisces provides the perfect platform for Venus – where love has no expectations. Love blossom in an environment where there are no demands, no posessiveness. Absolute freedom of the beyond – the 12th house – the 12th zodiac lets Venus attain the highest form of love – spiritual love! Such a spiritual love is unconditional, selfless and always says “First you, then me.”

Once, a special baby elephant was born, for it was believed that the spirit of Gautama Buddha had taken form within him. This baby Buddha elephant loved to follow his kind and gentle mother. Whenever she gathered fruits, she would lovingly offer them to him first, saying, “First you, then me.” Together, they played by the river, joyfully splashing water, dancing, and cherishing the beauty of life.

As time passed, the baby elephant grew into a majestic creature and caught the attention of the king while he was hunting. Charmed by the elephant’s magnificence, the king decided to capture him and bring him to the royal palace. Adorned with jewels and stones, the Buddha elephant found himself in the palace, but he was overwhelmed with sadness. He stopped eating, drinking, and became weak. When the king asked him what was wrong, the elephant revealed his longing for his blind old mother who needed him. Touched by his plea, the king sent the elephant back to the forest.

The Buddha elephant eagerly ran through the forest until he found his old mother, lying on a rock and covered in dust. He lovingly cleaned her and offered her a sweet mango, saying, “First you, then me.” Overwhelmed with emotion, the old mother realized that it was her beloved son who had returned to her. In that moment, as tears filled her eyes, she understood the true meaning of love – “First you, then me.”

Venus in Pisces simply wants to share the significance of this message – that it is only when you live for others that others will live for you. That is how the great master Paramhansa Yogananda says “There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselflishness, thinking of others first: when you learn to live for others, they will live for you.” The mother always lived for her son – and so now the son lives for his mother. You always receive that which you do for others. Remember – happiness is not readymade – it comes from your own actions! 

Enough for now.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

End of troubles and sufferings. This is how I would define the upcoming Solar Eclipse on 2nd October. Mohan asked, “End of what kind of troubles?” I smiled and replied, “That’s exactly what I will now reveal in this podcast.”

The upcoming Solar Eclipse occurs as the Sun and the Master of all Masters, Ketu, conjunct in the sign of Virgo. Virgo is a feminine sign, and Ketu’s whole purpose is to liberate you. But liberation is often painful because we are attached to so many things in life. When you buy a new home, you become attached to every brick and corner of it. I have seen people become obsessive over their homes—it’s sheer madness. When you buy a new car, even a single scratch on it can cause sleepless nights, with people cursing the one responsible for the blemish. And when it comes to relationships—whether girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, or husband—people often tell me, “I’m so attached to my wife.” This kind of attachment breeds possessiveness. Questions like, “Where is she going?” “Who is she talking to?” or “What is she hiding from me?” arise because of this possessiveness. The root of possessiveness is attachment.

Love is not possessiveness, though many people mistakenly believe that it is. To possess someone is to destroy the possibility of true love. Possessiveness feeds the ego, and attachment is the cause of possessiveness. The role of Ketu is to break this attachment, liberating you so you can experience ultimate freedom—so you can return home, smiling, dancing, and singing. But to move from attachment to detachment, one must go through pain and suffering, which eventually brings about higher awareness. It is through this awareness that you break free and find your freedom.

This Solar Eclipse may push you through the painful process of moving from attachment to detachment, triggering certain events in your life. But remember, this pain is not meant to hurt you; it is meant to make you more alert. People often become alert only when an arrow pierces their heart.

This is the first message of the Solar Eclipse on 2nd October: to make you more alert, so you awaken and realize your foolishness, and so you understand that attachment is the root of your suffering. The Solar Eclipse is a learning phase that triggers something within you, leading to higher awareness. Once you become more aware of reality, you will experience the end of certain troubles in your life. And so now, Mohan, I will tell you which troubles may end with this beautiful event on 2nd October.

• If you are suffering from health issues, those troubles will gradually fade away.
• If you are struggling with unemployment, you will soon find a good job.
• If your life is messy and disorganized, things will soon get sorted, and you’ll be back on track, smiling and enjoying life again.
• If you’ve been a perfectionist making life difficult for yourself, you will realize that perfection is a myth while excellence is reality.
• If you’ve been suffering from black magic spells, you will gradually escape the clutches of the black magician and your secret enemies.
• If you’ve been seeking consistency in your spiritual practice, you will become more consistent.
• If you’ve been suffering from body pain, anxiety, or depression, you will gradually feel better.
• If you’ve been thinking of getting a pet, your wish will soon be granted. If you already have pets, you’ll see positive developments regarding them.

The upcoming Solar Eclipse is indeed a breakthrough for many. However, to experience these positive changes, you also need to be decent and truthful to yourself. The Solar Eclipse will negatively impact only those who are utterly foolish and offensive, hurting others with abusive comments and actions. For evolving souls, the Solar Eclipse signifies that in the coming six months, you will undergo major positive transformations. Ketu is the master of transformation.

Long ago, I mentioned Shreedhar Swami of Alandi. For 45 years, he performed miracles, helping the childless, healing black magic, and guiding many to success in business and life. But his greatest miracle was turning the minds and hearts of his devotees toward God. I spent time in his small ashram, and he often transformed deeply negative people into pure positive beings. This transformation is possible through the blessings of a Guru—and Ketu is the Guru’s right hand, helping you move from attachment to detachment.

The whole purpose of Ketu is to liberate you from all those things that add no value to your life. A solar eclipse is a perfect setting in which Ketu “bats all over the field,” ensuring that this precious moment is not lost but is used to its maximum potential, so that all that is NOT good for you gets cut from your life. When it comes to cutting, separating, and detaching, there is bound to be a certain pain—but this pain is not to hurt you. This pain is to awaken you from your ‘sleep.’ You will become aware only when the thorn goes deep into your heart. And once you are awakened—once you start becoming aware—you become wise, and then your wisdom guides you in overcoming all the difficulties you have been facing in life. If you are an evolving soul—if your birth chart has a certain depth—then this upcoming solar eclipse can mark a significant change in you. And when you change, your whole world changes.

Rumi, the great Sufi Saint, says, “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” This is exactly what Ketu does for you—if you can connect with Ketu’s message, you will evolve. If you cannot connect, you will continue to suffer. It all depends on how receptive your “antenna” is. Yesterday, I was saying the same thing to Mohan—that this whole life is simply about fine-tuning our antenna so we can connect to the higher frequencies more effectively. Mohan asked, “How do we fine-tune our antenna?” The answer is simple and has been repeated for centuries by all the enlightened masters. The answer is, “By chanting the Lord’s name.”

Guru Nanak says, “Naam Japo,” and Sant Kabir, the Indian mystic poet and saint, whose writings influenced Hinduism’s Bhakti movement, says, “Naam uthat naam baithat, naam sovatjaag re; Naam khaate naam peete, naam seti lag re” (कबीर, नाम उठत नाम बैठत, नाम सोवत जाग रै । नाम खाते नाम पीते, नाम सेती लाग रे ।।), meaning, “The worship of God is done only by chanting naam (mantra). Chant that naam while doing your work, before falling asleep, as soon as you wake up in the morning, while having food, while drinking any liquid—that is, remember naam while doing all the tasks.” The answer has been there for centuries, and yet very few are able to imbibe the essence of this answer. Only these few have been able to understand the language of the heart—because chanting slowly moves you from the head to the heart! Once you align with your heart, there is music, there is dance, and your antenna is perfectly connected with the Supreme Lord. Then you simply become a witness to all that happens in your life. You remain on the shore; you become like that beautiful lotus flower. The lotus flower rises above the waters, transforming itself, but it is necessary to remember that without the mud, there would be no lotus flowers.

So don’t get frustrated by the mud, because your blossoming will happen only through this mud. A lotus flower blossoms through the mud, a phoenix bird rises from the ashes—everything beautiful in this world has its roots in suffering, pain, and humility. All of these become the rock-bottom that serves as your solid foundation, through which you can rebuild your life.

It is always auspicious to initiate a new mantra during the Solar Eclipse event. Any new mantra that you start chanting from Solar Eclipse day becomes more effective. So on this Solar Eclipse day, you should start chanting the “Kaal Bhairava Raksha Mantra.” This is how you should chant the Kaal Bhairava Raksha Mantra: “Om Batuk Bhairavaya Kuru Kuru Batuk Bhairavaya Namaha” “Om Batuk Bhairavaya Kuru Kuru Batuk Bhairavaya Namaha” “Om Batuk Bhairavaya Kuru Kuru Batuk Bhairavaya Namaha.”

Start chanting this mantra exactly during the Solar Eclipse event. The timing of the Solar Eclipse event on 2nd October, according to Indian Standard Time, is between 9:13 PM and 3:17 AM on 3rd October. So, in India, the solar eclipse event occurs overnight, starting on 2nd October at 9:13 PM and ending early morning on 3rd October at 3:17 AM.

Sit in a closed room, light a lamp using cow’s ghee, and then start chanting the Kaal Bhairava Raksha Mantra: “Om Batuk Bhairavaya Kuru Kuru Batuk Bhairavaya Namaha” using a Rudraksha japa mala of 108 beads. This will empower your Sun, Mars, and Jupiter, and then you will be alright.

The whole purpose of chanting is to liberate you from the prison of your mind. The mind is the only prison, and the key is “chanting the Holy Lord’s name.”

The mind clings to everything it comes across—car, bike, man, woman, money, power—you name it, and the mind will cling to it. And then you come to me and ask, “How to be free? How to attain moksha?” That’s what happened when a man came to meet Mansur Al-Hallaj, a great Persian mystic, poet, and teacher of Sufism. The man asked, “How to be free? You all talk about freedom, freedom—but how to be free?”

Mansur said, “It is very simple, just see.” They were sitting in a mosque with huge pillars. Al-Hallaj went close to a pillar, caught hold of the pillar with both hands, and started shouting, “Help me! How can I be free from this pillar?”

The man said, “Don’t be mad, you yourself are clinging to the pillar; nobody is doing anything, nor is the pillar. What nonsense are you doing?”

He said, “I am simply answering you. You had asked me how to be free. Have you ever asked anybody the art of not being free? That you know perfectly well. You go on creating new chains, new bondages… it is your own doing. Undo it! And it is good that it is your own doing because you can undo it without anybody else’s permission.”

Still, Al-Hallaj was holding the pillar. The man said, “At least now I understand the point, but please leave that pillar because a crowd is gathering. Everybody knows you are mad, but I am feeling embarrassed to be with you!”

He said, “Only if you have really understood will I leave this pillar; otherwise, I will die with this pillar.”

He said, “My God, to ask you a question is to create trouble.” And the crowd started abusing the person. They said, “Why did you disturb Al-Hallaj? What kind of question have you asked?”

He said, “It is strange, I had asked a simple question, ‘How to be free?’ Rather than answering, he went to the pillar, held it, and shouted for help. That’s why you all gathered.”

And Al-Hallaj was still shouting, “Help me! How can I be free?”

Finally, the man said, “Forgive me, I will try, but don’t make too much mockery of me. Leave that pillar!”

Mansoor said, “What do you think? Am I holding the pillar, or is the pillar holding me?”

And this is what Ketu also wants you to contemplate: “Ask yourself—is the matter holding you, or are you holding onto the matter? She said this, he said that, she did this to me, he did that to me.” When you continue with this ranting, it is obvious that you are holding onto the matter. The more you cling, the more you suffer. The solution is to LET GO—that’s the message of this upcoming Solar Eclipse event. LET GO of all that adds no value to your self-growth. Learn to LET GO, and that is possible when you realize the beauty of acceptance.

Enough for now. Learn to live without fear—fear is just a thought. Drop the ‘thought,’ and you will be alright.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Mars is energy. You need energy to react, to act, and to respond. The Moon represents your mind. You will act when you are courageous. Courage is not directly connected with Mars; it’s indirectly connected. When Mars falls in the Moon sign Cancer, the mind becomes fearful. As a result, you may not have the courage to step up and express your love. You might even be scared to say those three magical words: “I love you.” In my life, I have never been afraid to say those three words. What is there to fear? When you love, you simply love. But when Mars is in Cancer, a person, though in love, may hesitate to say, “I love you.” Whether it’s love or anger, the native lacks the power of expression. When Mars falls or transits through Cancer, there is an old Hindi song, “Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya, Pyar Kiya Toh Chori Nahi Ki,” meaning, “If you are in love, why should you fear?” But with Mars in Cancer, the native becomes a coward, unable to show the courage to express love. Even if they are angry, they may not express it openly. Frequent changes of residence or emotional outbursts are natural. With Mars in Cancer, the fourth house is directly connected to emotions, deep emotions. And when Mars is in Cancer, you experience many emotional moments in life.

Mars excels in Dhanishta Nakshatra (Capricorn sign), and Mars debilitates in Ashlesha Nakshatra (Cancer sign). Essentially, Mars dislikes Mercury. Mercury tends to analyze and overthink, while Mars prefers action, direct action. Samartha Ramdas Swami, the guru of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, used to say, “Keliane hot ahe re, adhi kele che pahi,” meaning, “It is only through action that things manifest. But first, you must take action.” Action is what Mars loves. But in Cancer, Mars struggles to operate at its full capacity, especially when transiting through Ashlesha Nakshatra, which occupies the last part of the Cancer zodiac. People born with Mars in Cancer find it difficult to take action, making it harder for them to materialize their dreams and aspirations. In a woman’s chart, Mars in Cancer is not favorable for marriage or for a happy marriage, I would say. However, astrology is multidimensional, so if there is a supportive aspect, such as a positive 7th house or a well-blessed 7th house lord, then marriage can happen, and the marriage may not fall apart. Still, Mars in Cancer often brings relationship issues. A woman with this placement may feel dominated by her partner, wanting to rebel but unable because Mars’ power is diminished in Cancer zodiac. That is why it is said that Mars is debilitated in Cancer zodiac. When Mars transits Cancer, expect less action and more noise. There is a higher possibility of falling prey to temptations, becoming emotionally vulnerable, and hesitating or delaying actions. These are common traits during the transit. Mars in Capricorn, on the other hand, is balanced and won’t act impulsively. But Mars in Cancer is a different story. Impulsiveness takes over, and this can be dangerous. Sometimes, impulsive decisions, like jumping into bed with someone based on looks alone, can lead to misery later in life. Mars in Cancer signifies impulsiveness, while Mars in Capricorn is much more cautious, controlling temptations and evaluating the pros and cons before committing to anything, including relationships. Mars in Cancer thus leads to a person who is an emotional fool, impulsive, impatient, and loves to procrastinate.

And so now I will quickly share the impact of transiting Mars in Cancer on all twelve zodiac signs.

**Aries**: During Mars’ transit through Cancer, your home life, relationship with your mother, and overall happiness may face challenges. Avoid impulsive decisions regarding family matters. Patience is the key. Wait for this phase to pass before making any major moves. To invite peace and positivity, chant the Ganesha mantra: Om Gam Ganapataye Namah.

**Taurus**: This transit may bring tension with siblings, short trips, and mental strain. Be cautious and avoid hasty decisions. Issues with travel or sibling relationships may surface, leaving you emotionally exhausted. Stay grounded and patient. For mental clarity and strength, recite the powerful mantra: Om Namah Shivaya.

**Gemini**: Fluctuations in savings, family conflicts, and minor health issues, especially to your teeth, eyes, or throat, could arise during this time. Take care of your diet and avoid unhealthy food. Stay disciplined to avoid these challenges. To balance your energy, chant the Vishnu mantra: Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya.

**Cancer**: For Cancer, emotions run high during this sensitive period. Avoid making decisions based solely on feelings. Remain practical and focus on the present moment. Relationship issues might arise, so stay calm and avoid rash actions. For emotional stability, recite the mantra: Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi.

**Leo**: This transit brings an opportunity for spiritual growth. Whether in meditation or relationships, you will find this a fulfilling time. If you are in love, you will experience deeper bonds. Ensure that you stay grounded to attract abundance by keeping your feet clean. To enhance your spiritual journey, chant this mantra: Om Rhim Namah.

**Virgo**: Financial fluctuations, especially for those in business, may occur. Tensions with in-laws could also arise. Use caution when engaging on social media. Overall, this can be a time when your desires are fulfilled if you remain patient. To boost financial success, chant this mantra: Om Shreem Mahalakshmiye Namah.

**Libra**: Challenges in marriage and career may surface. Workplace conflicts, especially with your boss, are possible. If you are married, you may have fights with your mother-in-law or father-in-law. Avoid impulsive reactions and be patient. This phase will pass. To attract harmony in your relationships and career, chant this mantra: Om Klim Namah.

**Scorpio**: Mars brings a focus on higher learning and spirituality. You will be inspired and could even become a source of motivation for others. However, stay balanced and avoid getting carried away by ideologies. To maintain this balance, chant this mantra: Om Namah.

**Sagittarius**: Be cautious during this sensitive period as hidden enemies may try to harm you. Practice self-care, meditate daily, and protect yourself from negative energies. During this phase, you may become a victim of black magic attacks. So be careful, drive carefully, and stay alert. To ward off negative influences and energies, recite this mantra: Om Dum Durgaye Namah.

**Capricorn**: Your focus will be on your marriage or relationship, and your partner may need more of your time. Stay mindful when interacting with the public and avoid people who drain your energy. To strengthen your relationships and attract positivity, chant this powerful mantra: Om Namo Narayanaya.

**Aquarius**: Workplace conflicts may arise, but you will feel energized and motivated. Avoid petty arguments and maintain a sattvic diet to prevent digestion issues. For overall well-being and success, recite this beautiful mantra: Om Ram Ramaya Namah.

**Pisces**: Love and relationships will take center stage, and this is a great time for entrepreneurs or those invested in the stock market. It’s a generally positive period, but take care of your health, especially your stomach. To attract prosperity and love, chant this beautiful mantra: Om Klim Krishnaya Namah.

And so, from October 20th 2024 to June 7th 2025, Mars will mostly stay in the sign of Cancer. Normally, Mars remains in one zodiac sign for about six to seven weeks, which is around 42 to 49 days. But this time, things are a bit unusual. Mars will stay in Cancer from October 20 to January 21. Mars then goes retrograde on December 6 and moves into Gemini on January 21. After that, when Mars turns direct, it will return to Cancer on April 3, 2025. Finally, Mars will leave Cancer for Leo on June 7, 2025. So, Mars will be shifting between Cancer and Gemini for about nine months. Overall, this is unusual. Mars going retrograde in Cancer signals a strong chance of a global recession. If you are employed right now, stay vigilant—layoffs could increase as we approach the end of 2024, with many companies cutting jobs. Conflicts and wars may escalate, bringing intense turmoil. The movements of Mars are likely to stir up a lot of emotional drama, and that’s why I urge all my close followers to gain control over their emotions. This can only be achieved by working on your mind and becoming more mindful of yourself. Instead of bottling up anger, learn to understand how pointless it is. Otherwise, you may end up like Shanti Das.

Have you heard the story of Shanti Das? It so happened that one day, Shanti Das killed his wife by throwing her into a well. At that moment, a Jain monk was passing by. A crowd had gathered, and the Jain monk said, “This mind full of anger and violence will lead you to hell.” The situation was such that the man said, “I also want to be as silent as you are, but what can I do? I don’t know anything. When anger grips me, I am almost unconscious. And now I have killed my own beloved wife.” The Jain monk said, “The only way to still this mind, full of anger, violence, and rage, is to renounce the world.” Jainism is a religion of renunciation, and the ultimate renunciation is even of clothes. The Jain monk lives naked because he is not allowed to possess even clothes.

The man was of a very arrogant type, and this became a challenge to him. Before the crowd, he threw his clothes into the well with his wife. The whole village could not believe it. Even the Jain monk became a little afraid—”Is he mad or something?” The man fell at his feet and said, “You may have taken many decades to reach the stage of renunciation. I renounce the world. I renounce everything. I am your disciple now. Initiate me.” His name was Shanti Das, and “Shanti” means peace. It often happens that if you see an ugly woman, most probably her name will be Sundarabai, which means “beautiful woman.” In India, people have a strange way of naming—blind men are sometimes called “Nayan Sukh,” which means “one whose eyes give him great pleasure.”

The Jain monk said, “You have a beautiful name. I will not change it. I will keep it. But from this moment, you must remember that peace has to become your very vibration.” The man disciplined himself, stilled his mind, fasted for long periods, and tortured himself. Soon, he became more famous than his master. Angry people, arrogant people, and egoistic people can do things quickly, while peaceful people take more time. He became very famous, and thousands of people came to touch his feet.

After 20 years, he was in the capital. A man from his village came for some purpose and thought, “It will be good to go and see what transformation has happened to Shanti Das.” Many stories were heard that he had become a totally new man—that his old self was gone and a new, fresh being had arisen in him. He had truly become peace, silence, and tranquility.

The man went with great respect, but when he saw Muni Shanti Das, he noticed that there was no change. There was none of the grace which necessarily radiates from a mind that has become silent. His eyes were still as egoistic as ever—in fact, they had become more pointedly egoistic. His presence was even more unpleasant than it used to be. Still, the man went close. Shanti Das recognized him as his neighbor, but it was now beneath his dignity to acknowledge him. The man also saw that Shanti Das had recognized him, but he was pretending otherwise. The man thought, “That shows much.”

He went close to Shanti Das and asked, “Can I ask you a question? What is your name?” Naturally, great anger arose in Shanti Das because he knew that this man knew perfectly well what his name was. Still, he kept himself in control and said, “My name is Muni Shanti Das.” The man said, “It is a beautiful name, but my memory is very short. Can you repeat it again? I have forgotten. What name did you say?”

This was too much. Muni Shanti Das used to carry a staff. He took the staff in his hand, forgot everything—20 years of controlling the mind—and said, “Ask again, and I will show you who I am. Have you forgotten? I killed my wife. I am the same man.”

Only then did he recognize what had happened. In a single moment of unconsciousness, he realized that 20 years had gone down the drain. He had not changed at all. But millions of people felt great silence in him. Yes, he had become very controlled. He kept himself repressed, and it had paid off—so much respect, and he had no qualification for that respect—so much honor that even kings came to touch his feet.

Your so-called saints are nothing but controlled animals. The mind is nothing but a long heritage of all your animal past. You can control it, but the controlled mind is not the awakened mind. Remember this, and I say this only to my close followers: the controlled mind is not the awakened mind. The process of controlling, repressing, and disciplining is taught by all religions. And because of their fallacious teaching, humanity has not moved a single inch—it remains barbarous. At any moment, people start killing each other. It does not take a moment to lose themselves. They forget completely that they are human beings and that something much better is expected of them. Very few people have been able to avoid the deception of controlling the mind and believing that they have attained mindlessness. To attain mindlessness, a totally different process is involved. I call it the ultimate magic, the ultimate miracle. It consists of only one single element: watchfulness. Be watchful of your anger. Be watchful of your wild imaginations. Be watchful of your sexual fantasies. Be watchful of your thoughts. Just watch and don’t entertain them. Don’t act on those thoughts, and you will be alright.

Mohan asked, “But how do you come to the state of being a witness? How do you reach the state where you can just watch and not act on those wild thoughts?” The answer is simple: focus on chanting. Guru Nanak says, “Nam japu,” meaning chant the name of the holy Lord. Sant Kabir says, “Nama japu.” When your mantra takes over your mind, you can face all situations with a smile on your face. And that is what I would love to see: when you smile, when you keep smiling, and when you keep walking with faith in your heart—that is when you look beautiful. That is when you are truly evolving. That is when you are getting closer to God consciousness.

And so, as we embark on this challenging nine-month journey together, I want all my dear followers to know that I am here by your side, holding your hand. Remember, you are a cherished child of the divine, and everything will be alright. Just keep moving forward and continue to listen to my guidance. Together, we will navigate through any obstacles that may arise during this time with faith and love lighting our way.

Jai Sri Ganesha. Jai Gurudev.

 

 

Saturn is going direct on November 15th, which incidentally is also my birthday! This is great news for me and for all my followers born on November 15th, as Saturn turns direct on this powerful day. When a planet is retrograde, it enhances certain qualities; for example, retrograde Saturn can help sharpen your observation skills and judgment. However, it also tends to slow down your normal pace, particularly in decision-making, as you’re drawn more toward reflection than action. As decision-making slows, fewer things get implemented or manifested due to a lack of action.

In simple terms, retrograde Saturn may boost your observation and analytical skills. But since you’re often re-evaluating yourself and the world, you may tend to procrastinate, which can impact your finances, relationships, and career. Now, as of November 15th, Saturn will go direct, and slowly, you’ll feel the energy to take action again. Exactly 45 days later, you’ll start noticing the benefits of Saturn—Shani Maharaj—unfolding in your life.

The cycles of retrograde and direct motion are divinely orchestrated by the will of God. Retrograde represents a pause, while direct motion represents moving forward. If you don’t understand the power of pausing, you miss the chance to grow from the inside out. Self-growth is often possible when you pause, when you simply do nothing, and retrograde gives you this golden opportunity to stop, rethink, re-strategize, renovate, relocate, revamp, and recharge yourself. This period allows you to become a better version of yourself, ready to take on the world when the retrogression stops and the planet resumes its normal pace. Now, as Saturn returns to its direct path from November 15th onward, let’s explore how this significant planetary shift will impact each of the 12 zodiac signs.

Aries – Saturn going direct is excellent news for Aries natives, as it will put your career and family life on a positive track. You’ll start benefiting from your networking skills, and your friends will be more cooperative and understanding toward you. This shift also brings a significant positive change in your earnings. If you’ve been waiting and trying for a good job, Shani Maharaj is likely to bless you with one. Shani Maharaj always favors those who refrain from hurting others with arrogant or offensive comments or behavior. So, if you are a good-hearted person, mark my words—this shift in Saturn’s movement will certainly bring a big smile to your face. And when you smile, you look beautiful. So hang in there, and don’t give up, as Saturn is returning to save you from your troubles. Just keep focusing on doing good karma.

Remedy for more benefits – For 45 days, each evening, light a mustard oil lamp in your temple or pooja room, facing the south direction.

Taurus – Retrograde Saturn brought challenges and setbacks in your career, affecting your self-growth efforts. However, as Saturn returns to its direct motion, you’ll notice unresolved issues at work starting to clear up, and differences with your seniors will begin to ease. Relations with your father or fatherly figures will also improve. Any obstacles to higher education or foreign travel will be removed. In recent months, your luck factor may have felt weak, but now you’ll start experiencing a positive shift in how people perceive you, and you’ll regain your lost confidence. Overall, Saturn—Shani Maharaj—is set to bring more laughter and joy into your life, as long as you remain sincere, loyal, and humble. Remember, if you cause trouble for others, Saturn cannot bring good results. So, stop troubling others, and this positive movement of Saturn will certainly bring good news into your life.

Remedy for more benefits: For 45 days, each evening light a lamp with Chameli oil (Jasmine oil) in front of Lord Hanuman’s image, and you will be alright.

Gemini: Retrograde Saturn has significantly impacted your marriage or relationship, and your finances have taken a hit as well. However, as Saturn goes direct, you’ll gradually find relief in both relationship and financial matters. Exactly 45 days from now, you’ll start feeling much better and more relaxed. However, if you are a negative person who offends others with hurtful comments or actions, nothing will improve in your life, and you’ll continue to face difficulties. To receive the positive results of Saturn, focus on your karma—stop hurting others with your words and actions, and you’ll start making progress in life.

Remedy for best results: For 45 days, each evening, light a silver lamp with cow’s ghee in your temple (Pooja Ghar), facing east.

Cancer: Retrograde Saturn has brought considerable pain and suffering into your life. Positioned in the 8th house for Cancer natives, the past six months have been a period of testing. Your enemies have been working against you, constantly trying to undermine you, but now, as Saturn goes direct, the tables will turn, and you will emerge victorious. Your adversaries will start feeling the pressure, while you’ll find your way and begin progressing. Issues in marriage or relationships will begin to ease, and your finances will also improve. It’s essential to fast on all Saturdays, visit a Lord Hanuman temple each Saturday, break a coconut, and donate 2 liters of groundnut oil to a priest. Starting from December 1st, 2024, you’ll begin to feel positive changes, and by June 2025, you’ll experience total relief from debts, family, and financial issues. So, dear Cancerians, stay positive, distance yourself from negative, toxic people, and things will improve.

Remedy for best results: For 45 days, visit a Lord Shiva temple every Monday, offer white flowers, and observe a fast. On Mondays, drink only water or milk, and eat only fruits or dry fruits, breaking your fast on Tuesday morning.

Leo: Retrograde Saturn gave you a window to evaluate your relationship status and your position at the workplace. During this period, you likely reconnected with past partners, old friends, and had the chance to reconsider certain projects or past work matters. Now, as Saturn goes direct on November 15th, you’ll start moving forward with confidence, leading to significant positive developments in your marriage, partnerships, and workplace dynamics. If you’ve been involved in a legal case, expect a major breakthrough. Those affected by black magic will also find relief and solutions working in their favor. Overall, Saturn going direct brings positive results for Leo natives—but only if you manage your ego and refrain from hurting father figures or older individuals.

Remedy for enhanced positive results: For 45 days, visit a Kaal Bhairav temple every Sunday. Light a lamp with groundnut oil and offer 5 lemons, 1 coconut, and *mithai* (any Indian sweet) to Lord Kaal Bhairav.

Virgo – The Retrograde Saturn phase has caused significant pain and suffering in your life, including health issues, attacks from secret enemies, and stress due to bad debts and credit problems. However, as Saturn goes direct on November 15th, you will slowly start feeling better. You’ll find effective solutions to your health concerns and begin to feel more relaxed and at peace mentally. Nevertheless, beware of overindulgence in pleasure-seeking activities, as it could undermine the positive results bestowed by Lord Saturn. From December 1st onward, you will begin experiencing positivity in both family and finances. When you have retrograde Saturn in your birth chart, a transiting retrograde Saturn can bring additional challenges and suffering; however, the troubles are now ending, and you’ll soon be smiling your way home. Concerning children, you’ll notice positive developments, and your investments will gain momentum, providing good returns. This is also an excellent time to begin any spiritual sadhana or practice you may be considering.

Remedy for positive results – Start feeding cows with your hands every Friday. Offer soaked sprouts mixed with soaked raw rice to cows each Friday. The blessings of the cows will help you eradicate troubles and negativity from your life.

Libra – The Retrograde Saturn phase has caused much suffering in matters of home, emotions, and challenges concerning children or investments. This period has also affected your mother adversely. However, now that Saturn goes direct, you will find considerable relief in matters of home, emotional well-being, and areas related to children and investments. If you are single, challenges in relationships or difficulties in finding a good partner will ease, and you may experience a breakthrough in your love life. For those trading in the stock markets, the upcoming month, starting from December 1st, is very positive and could bring you significant gains. Focus on regular meditation, as the more you meditate, the more clarity you will gain, which will enable you to make the right decisions in life.

Remedy for positive results: Wear a full white dress on Fridays for 45 days, and visit a Goddess Lakshmi temple to light one earthen lamp with white mustard oil. If you cannot visit a temple, you may perform this ritual in your home temple.

Scorpio – Retrograde Saturn stalled many of your projects and activities. You tend to procrastinate, which has led to missed opportunities and lost fortune. However, now that Saturn turns direct, you will begin to take action. Misunderstandings will start to fade, and your communication skills will improve. Travel plans will also be executed in a timely manner. Decisions related to home or real estate will gain momentum, allowing you to move forward with plans for renovating or redesigning your home or even selling and relocating. Issues concerning your mother will be resolved, enabling you to achieve your dreams connected to your home or real estate. This is a time when you will start feeling emotionally positive, bringing purpose to your life, and soon there will be a big smile on your face – and when you smile, you look beautiful!

Remedy for positive results: For 45 days, visit a nearby river or sea and feed the fish with pieces of dough or fresh wheat bread. The more you feed the fish, the more beneficial it will be for you and your family.

Sagittarius – Retrograde Saturn has caused various financial difficulties, and you may also feel dissatisfied at work. However, this situation will now begin to change for the better. Gradually, your finances will start improving, and you may find new job opportunities that bring much contentment. Businesspeople will start seeing positive results in profit margins, and creative artists will find new work opportunities. It is essential to stay humble and avoid hurting others with offensive comments or actions. Remember, Saturn returns what you give to others. So, be mindful of your thoughts, as thoughts lead to words, words lead to actions, and your actions define your character. Cultivate positive thoughts, and you will attract more blessings from Lord Saturn – Shani Maharaj!

Remedy for positive results: Fast for 45 Thursdays and light a lamp filled with cow’s ghee beneath an Audumbar tree (also known as the Cluster Fig tree) on 45 Thursday evenings.

Capricorn – Retrograde Saturn caused significant stress in managing your finances. Earnings came in, but they quickly disappeared due to rising expenditures. Financial stress also limited your travel plans. However, as Saturn goes direct, starting from December 1st, you will begin to feel the positive effects of Saturn’s direct movement. Gradually, your finances will improve, and you’ll manage expenses more efficiently. Any obstacles related to communication or publication plans will be removed, giving you the momentum to start your new publication or project. Overall, Saturn’s change in direction is excellent news for all my Capricorn followers—stay positive, as even bigger news awaits you: your Sade Sati will end next year in June 2025. So, keep your fingers crossed, as you are on the path to victory, and your enemies will be defeated. However, remember, these positive developments will unfold only if you refrain from hurting others through your actions or words. Be mindful of your thoughts and actions, and you will be rewarded with all the blessings Saturn is bringing your way!

Remedy for positive results: Light a lamp filled with mustard oil beneath a Peepal tree and break a coconut before Lord Hanuman every Saturday for two months.

Aquarius – The Retrograde Saturn period had a strong impact on your mind, and many of you have experienced significant mental suffering during this time. Health issues often arise when the mind is disturbed, as the root of all diseases lies in the state of the mind. This is why the Moon chart is crucial for evaluating both mental and physical health conditions. The second phase of Sade Sati combined with retrograde Saturn was a challenging double dose for you, but now Saturn’s direct movement will bring much-needed relief. Both mental and physical health will gradually improve in the coming days, though the progress may be slow. It is essential to embrace a more spiritual lifestyle by consistently practicing daily meditation and chanting. Obstacles or delays related to foreign travel or settlement will now gradually clear, allowing you to realize your dream of settling abroad. Any losses incurred during the Saturn retrograde period will now be recovered, so stay positive and mindful of your thoughts and actions. If you hurt others, you may not receive the benefits of Saturn’s direct movement—focus on self-growth and avoid causing harm.

Remedy for positive results: Wear a full blue outfit for 45 Saturdays, visit a Lord Hanuman temple on each of those Saturdays, light a lamp with sesame oil beneath a Peepal tree, and walk around the Peepal tree seven times.

Pisces – Pisces – Retrograde Saturn has caused considerable pain in areas of earnings and relationships, with many also facing high medical expenses during this period. However, as Saturn goes direct, you will start feeling much relief in matters related to earnings and relationships. Saturn is a very slow-moving planet, and its results manifest slowly but steadily. Though Saturn goes direct on November 15th, you’ll start experiencing its effects from December 1st onward. If you were feeling stuck with matters connected to foreign lands or visa issues, you will finally get a breakthrough in your efforts for foreign travel. Remember to meditate daily and chant the Ram Mantra – “Shri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram” – as this will protect you from the effects of Rahu’s transit over your Moon sign, Pisces. This period has been particularly challenging for Pisces, with the combined effects of Sade Sati, Retrograde Saturn, and Rahu’s transit, but now you’ll find some relief. Though the battle isn’t over yet, continue to persevere like a brave warrior—remember, a true warrior never gives up until the very last breath.

Remedy for positive results: Fast on Guruvar (Thursdays) from sunrise to sunset, and donate 2 kg of yellow chickpeas, 1 kg of cow’s ghee, and 1 kg of jaggery powder to a temple priest. Perform this remedy each Thursday for six months, and you will feel much better.

Overall – the transition of Retrograde Saturn to Direct Saturn is indeed a good news for many good hearted fellows on this planet. Human life is full of sufferings – no matter whether you have lots of money or you are a total bankrupt person – suffering is always there. While money can address your basic needs of life but money certainly cannot buy happiness, money certainly cannot buy love, cannot buy the bliss, the joy within. And so balancing your life is necessary – you need to work for your daily needs but don’t do too much because Too much is the only sin says Lao Tzu. Balancing your life is the message. Don’t be too materialistic and don’t be too spiritual. You need to remember that you are still not a monk – you have still not been initiated into monkhood. And so you need to keep working efficiently to address your basic needs as well as you need to spend time on your self growth journey by being consistent in your meditation and chanting. There is absolutely no need for renunciation. Only fools and fake people renounce – the real warriors never renounce – they can fight their daily battles and as well as also worship the Holy Lord with deep faith and love and in the end only such warriors progress on their spiritual path. Since today is my birthday – how can I leave you all without telling you a beautiful story – and so the story is about a dervish – a wandering mystic. The story is told of a dervish who went to visit a great Sufi master. Seeing his affluence, the dervish thought to himself, “How can Sufism and such prosperity go hand in hand?” After staying a few days with the master, he decided to leave. The master said, “Let me accompany you on your journey!”
After they had gone a short distance, the dervish noticed that he had forgotten his KASHKUL, the begging-bowl. So he asked the master for permission to return and get it.
The master replied, “I departed from all my possessions, but you can’t even leave behind your begging-bowl. Thus, we must part company from here.”

The Sufi is not attached to wealth or poverty; he is simply not attached to anything. And when you are not attached to anything, you need not renounce. Renunciation is the other side of attachment. Those who understand the foolishness of attachment don’t renounce. They live in the world, yet they are not of the world. Be just like this Sufi—be in this world, do your daily duties, do not run away from your responsibilities, and at the same time, stay focused on your spiritual path. When you are able to do this, that is when you truly mature into a beautiful flower—and then there is no looking back. Then you become a dance, a beautiful painting, a lovely poem. This is the way of its happening—this is how it happens—this is how Lahiri Mahasaya, the great Guru, lived; this is how great saints lived. Saint Tukaram, Saint Eknath—they all were married, they also had children, but they never renounced. They continued to fight their daily battles while staying focused on their spiritual path.

Enough for now—today is my birthday, and it is time for me to go back to my master, because without him I would have been dead by now. And no matter how much my enemies try to kill me, I will remain alive until the master says, “It’s time.“

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Just recently, the Sun has transited into the sign of Scorpio. Scorpio signifies intensity—intensity is what truly matters. How intense you are determines the depth of your experience. Whether you are angry or in love, let your emotions be intense. Whatever you do, do it with intensity. If you were to ask me to define Scorpio in one word, it would be intensity.

Let me share a beautiful story about Baba Farid, a great Sufi saint, which illustrates this concept perfectly.

One day, a man approached Baba Farid and asked, “How can I experience God?” Like many intellectuals, this man was eager to engage in debates and overanalyze the path to God. Baba Farid, like most Sufi mystics, was a man of action rather than words. He replied, “I am going to the river to bathe. If you want an answer, come with me.”

The man was puzzled. He wondered why Baba couldn’t answer him right there but remembered the villagers’ warning: “Do not debate with Baba Farid, or he will refuse to entertain you.” Reluctantly, the man followed Baba to the river.

When they arrived, Baba removed his clothes and instructed the man to do the same. Shocked and hesitant, the man complied, fearing he might otherwise be sent away. Once they were both in the river, Baba suddenly grabbed the man’s head and pushed it underwater. The man struggled, fighting with all his strength to free himself, but Baba held firm.

Finally, with sheer determination and total intensity, the man managed to break free. Furious and gasping for air, he yelled, “You’re insane! I thought you were a wise saint, but you’re nothing but a madman!”

Baba Farid simply laughed and asked, “What were you thinking when your head was underwater?”

The man, still fuming, replied, “Thinking? Are you mad? I wasn’t thinking at all! All I wanted was to get out of the water, and I was trying with everything I had.”

Baba Farid smiled and said, “Exactly. When you seek God with the same intensity—with no distractions, no thoughts, just total focus—that is when you will experience God.”

This story encapsulates the essence of Scorpio—intensity. It teaches us that intellectual debates and overthinking will not lead to divine experiences. Only pure, focused intensity can bring transformation.

Scorpio is also a sign of adventure, tied to the mysteries of life and the unknown. Its connection to the 8th house in astrology symbolizes transformation, hidden knowledge, and spiritual journeys. When the Sun transits Scorpio, it inherits the intensity of this powerful sign.

Remember, the significance of the zodiac sign is immense. In fact, the entire stream of Jaimini Astrology focuses on signs rather than planets, unlike Parashara Astrology, which emphasizes planets. The sign adds its unique color and energy to any planet passing through it.

As the Sun transits Scorpio, let’s explore how this energy impacts you and your moon sign. Why the moon sign? Because the mind, symbolized by the moon, governs everything. Liberation comes only when the mind is transcended, a journey that spans many lifetimes. But every long journey begins with a small step.

When you love, you simply love. Only a person who has fallen deeply in love and is willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of love can truly experience God. It is the intensity of such love that paves the way for a divine experience. That is why I always say that if you can fall in love with a man or a woman, then one day you can also fall in love with God and succeed in experiencing the divine because of your intensity. Scorpio is synonymous with intensity. As the Sun transits Scorpio, let’s explore how it impacts your zodiac sign. Let’s start with Scorpio.

Scorpio – Scorpio is a sign known for its intensity, and when the Sun transits through the first house for Scorpio natives, it amplifies their emotional depth and determination.

Similarly, corporate executives can leverage this period to make impactful strategic decisions, as the energy of the Sun boosts confidence and clarity in action.

Sagittarius – For Sagittarius, the Sun’s transit through Scorpio sparks a deeper spiritual journey. This period encourages you to relax and indulge in self-care, such as enjoying rejuvenating spa treatments.

Activities like meditation, mantra chanting, and yoga are particularly beneficial during this transit, as it strongly supports self-growth and inner harmony.

Aries – The Sun’s transit in Scorpio sharpens your observational skills and fuels your passion for uncovering life’s hidden mysteries.

The process of change may bring its share of trials, but with every challenge, your resilience and strength will grow.

This transit is especially favorable for individuals involved in deep research or analytical work, as it amplifies focus and determination.

Be mindful of controlling your ego and temper to avoid unnecessary conflicts with family members, especially your mother. The transit brings a renewed warmth to your home environment, and changes such as relocation or reorganization of spaces are possible. If your mother is not present, extend kindness and respect to maternal figures, as their blessings can positively influence your life. This phase also deepens your emotional connections and strengthens your bonds, making it a significant time for nurturing relationships and addressing matters of the heart.

Virgo – For Virgos, the Sun’s transit in Scorpio ushers in a dynamic phase filled with increased activity. Regardless of your current state of health, this period is likely to keep you engaged in various pursuits. Short travels and frequent communication—whether through phone calls, chats, or casual meetings—take center stage, making it a bustling time. It’s essential to strike a balance between work and personal life, as your heightened focus on professional commitments might cause you to overlook precious moments with family. On a positive note, this transit amplifies your courage and enterprising spirit, empowering you to take bold steps and embrace new opportunities.

Libra – For Libras, the Sun’s transit in Scorpio shifts the spotlight to family matters and financial management. Over the next month, you may find yourself dedicating time and effort to planning family vacations or resolving lingering family concerns. This period also encourages you to focus on organizing and improving your financial strategies for better stability. Pay attention to your diet, as unhealthy eating habits could lead to minor health issues. While Jupiter’s current transit through your 8th house may bring some challenges, take heart—starting April next year, a wave of positivity and significant improvements will brighten your life.

Overall – the powerhouse transit of the Sun in Scorpio is sure to bring intensity into your life, and it is through such intensity that you will find the key to success. Intensity means creating a center within yourself; it is when you have one desire, and your entire being aligns to support it. It’s about becoming centered and inwardly focused.

If you are an intense person, you will find joy even in simple things, experiencing them with total depth. For example, you can discover deep meditation in something as ordinary as savoring the aroma and taste of a cup of tea. Whatever you do, do it with full awareness, with totality, with intensity, and love—approach it as though it is the most important thing in the world. Make life an art, so that every moment becomes the expression of an artist. While there are many artists in this world, only those with true intensity achieve greatness. The key to success is intensity, and that’s exactly what Scorpio embodies—intensity in its fullest form.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

The greatness of the master is that He drinks the poison to save His devotees. That is why the Guru is the Param Shiva. Param Shiva means the Supreme Shiva. And so when the Supreme Shiva of our galaxy – Lord Jupiter enter the sign of Aries – he will have to face the corrupt ambitious dubious Rahu and thereby suck the whole poison that Rahu has created in the past 12 months by staying in the sign of Aries. This transiting Rahu in Aries has caused much pain and miseries in the life of millions across the world. In the last 12 months many men and women have suffered at the hand of this transiting Rahu in Aries sign however now the days are going to change for good. Now the Supreme Shiva – the Master Jupiter comes and when the Master comes he comes with a Master Plan.

“WHEN THE MASTER COMES, ” HE COMES WITH THE MASTER PLAN.” – Sai Baba

And the plan is very simple because God is very simple, Love is very simple, Truth is very simple. Simple has it and so the plan is simply to raise those men and women who have been suffering at the hands of Rahu. So who have been suffering at the hands of this transiting Rahu? Let us analyze – the Moon Signs – Virgo, Capricorn and Taurus have been mostly affected by Rahu in Aries sign because for Virgo – the transiting Rahu is in 8th house, for Capricorn – the transiting Rahu is in the 4th house and for Taurus the transiting Rahu is in the 12th house. And so first I will discuss the results of Jupiter transit Aries for these 3 earthly signs – Virgo, Capricorn and Taurus.
Virgo sign natives had to go through a lot of sufferings and sudden events and accidents and tragedies but now all of these is going to come in control as the Master Jupiter comes to uplift you and give you the much needed motivation and good vibes.

You will also find much peace in your home environment. In case if there was any Vastu Dosha – then you will find the right remedies or you will change your residence for good. And when Jupiter is transiting your fourth house – you are bound to get possession of new apartment as well. 4th house is the very center of happiness – and with Jupiter’s arrival – the negative results of Rahu in 4th house will be nullified and so starting from now till November – this Jupiter transit will eradicate the negativity of Rahu and will help you find happiness in life.
Taurus moon sign natives had to go through a lot of pain and suffering in the last 12 months – Rahu in 12th house caused much agony and miseries in your life – you also had to spend a lot of money – your expenses went up – many of you also experienced some strange weird supernatural experience as well as some of you may have had some sleepless nights – but now with Jupiters arrival in your 12th house – you are going to experience much relief – many of you will find some good remedies to overcome the black magic spells cast upon you – many of you may also get some good medical solutions as well as now your long travel plans will also fructify and you will be perfectly alright in the days to come. Jupiter’s entry in your 12th house will give you some good spiritual experiences but only after November 2023.
The next trio signs that I would like to discuss is the signs of the waters – the watery signs are my all time favorite – somehow I just connect with watery signs of Scorpio, Pisces and Cancer. And so now lets see how Jupiter in Aries will impact these three watery signs.
Scorpio natives will find great support at their workplace – Jupiter’s entry in your sixth house will bring good job opportunities. In case if you have been suffering due to certain chronic diseases then this Jupiter transit will bring much relief and your health will improve. Black Magic primarily comes from the closed doors of the sixth house and so when a positive planet Jupiter is transiting in 6th house – then it is a sign that you will be protected and you will be able to defeat your secret enemies. 6th house has many negative vibes however Lord Jupiter will simply suck all the negativity of this house – and thus you will be healed and you will start feeling more optimistic and balanced in the days to come. Until November – Jupiter’s energy will be spend in protecting you from negative people however after November the same Jupiter will start giving you many material rewards and you are truly going to enjoy the time starting from November 2023 till May 2024. So stay tuned and keep smiling. When you smile – you look beautiful.
Pisces is my all time favorite moon sign. And Jupiter transiting in the second house is certainly a great positive news for all my fellows born with moon in Pisces! This is a perfect time to focus on your self growth. You will take much interest in reading self-help books during this transit of Jupiter. Financial growth is promised as well as you will also experience some good times with your family. In case you had any issues with your family then now is the time – because now Jupiter is going to resolve all your family issues and you are going to feel as if life is back on track. Overall this is the most positive phase for Pisces – you don’t need to fear Sade Sati because when the master comes – He comes with a master plan! So stay strong and focus on your self growth.
Cancer is the most complicated sign of all zodiac signs. You never know what these natives will do – they are unpredictable because they are very impulsive by nature! When you are born with moon in Cancer then either you become an emotional fool or an emotional intelligent person. Much depend on the quality of your chart. Last 12 months – you have been too much focused on your career growth – sometimes the act of doing too much makes you an obsessed man. You become one dimensional and that is when the problems begin. Life is not one dimensional – Life is multidimensional but this realization will come when Jupiter will transit Aries – Jupiter’s arrival in your 10th house will bring much needed awareness and this awareness will help you go steady and you will learn the importance of being patient. Overall things from the career front will now stabilize and some of you may even experience phenomenal growth in your career – promotion is possible during this transit of Jupiter though you may have to wait until Rahu moves out of Aries in November 2023.
The next trio signs that I would like to discuss is the signs of the fire – the fiery signs – Leo, Sagittarius and Aries are very much action oriented by nature. They love action – they are the action packed heroes of real life. Mars, Jupiter, Ketu and Sun will jump first and think later! And the connection of Mars Ketu Jupiter and Sun with these three fiery signs needs no introduction. And so now I will discuss about the impact of Jupiter’s transit in Aries.
Leo is a sign of divine intelligence. Brilliance is the word when it comes to Leo. Rahu’s presence in the ninth house tends to drive you more into the higher philosophies of life – you tend to become too much obsessed with certain ideologies, religious dogmas and so on. Rahu is bad because Rahu has no breaks – Rahu is like a car without brakes – and so at some stage it is obvious that Rahu will crash you. However now when Jupiter enters Aries – slowly and steadily you tend to come back to your senses and you will then find balance in your perspective. With Jupiter’s arrival, long travels, relation with fatherly figures as well as improvement in the matters of luck will happen. Some of you may even find your Guru – master. Although it is not necessary that every person finds his or her Guru in physical form, in fact Guru in non-physical form can do much for you than in physical form! Raman Maharshi used to say – that the Guru need not be in physical form. I have seen so many great enlightened beings who never had their Guru in physical form. Weak people need some physical form – so that they can smile, shake hands, touch the feet of the Guru but all of these is of not much use – what is of use is the level of your surrender and whether you follow GURU VACHAN – the message and teaching of the Guru – whether you walk the talk. Leo natives will certainly feel much lucky from November 2023 – in fact the days from November 2023 to May 2024 will be the best days for many Leo men and women.
Sagittarius sign is the darling of Lord Jupiter. The most favorite sign of Lord Jupiter is the sign of Sagittarius and therefore the ancient seers have addressed Sagittarius as the Multrikona Rashi of Jupiter. The very nature of Jupiter is like that of a child. Have you seen a child – a child will be very sweet and also at times very aggressive especially if you rub him in the wrong way. But in both state – his innocence remains and this innocence brings much beauty to his existence. Jupiter is just like that. Swami Samarth or Sai Baba also would get angry and scold but the very next moment you would find them smiling and laughing and in their own bliss – innocence always is spontaneous and is always for the moment. Jupiter’s transit in your 5th house is a very auspicious sign. Studies, Pregnancy, Spiritual practices, creative works and children – in all these areas of life – you will find support and positive outcomes. If you are preparing for competitive exams then this phase is good to give a try. This is also a good time for stock brokers. From November 2023 onwards – you will experience more growth in your career as well as you will strike gold in your creative pursuits. Overall the coming year is a time to celebrate for many of you – so enjoy the moment while it lasts.
Aries is a sign close to my heart because my father was born with Moon in Aries. And he was a very straightforward man – maybe that impacted his growth prospects but that is how most of the Aries men are – they tend to have less or rather no diplomacy. Once when Osho was in his car and the car was about to start – my father lied down before his car – he was ready to die but would not allow Osho to proceed – finally Osho let him in his car and then my father interviewed him. The interview became a big hit and my father;s fame rose to new heights. Even today many of his readers remember him – just yesterday I received a call from a lawyer who still wants to read one of his missing article! Aries may not have the diplomacy but their straightforwardness wins the hearts of many! Jupiter’s arrival in Aries is the beginning of a new chapter for many of you. Every ending is a new beginning. And so now this new beginning comes with many hopes and wishes. However to attain your wishes first you have to work on yourself. Guru’s transit on your moon is therefore a wonderful development – the existence is now giving you all the support that you need to get the best version of you. Self-growth happens with ease when Jupiter connects with your natal moon and so this is indeed a blessed time for many evolved souls. Although materially this period may not be too good but spiritually this transit brings much blessings and support so that you evolve and mature to new heights of awareness. From November onwards – you will experience much faster improvement in yourself and this improvement will then bring many rewards in your life when Jupiter transits the sign of Taurus in May 2024.
The last three signs are the Airy signs of Libra, Aquarius and Gemini. Airy signs always travel in business class! Meaning these are hi-fi rashis. Intellectuality is at its peak and natives of these signs are just like those flying birds – they are constantly on the move – and this movement is more on the mind level. They need constant stimulation to their brain and they love to imagine – reminds of that Barbie song – “imagination is your creation” – a very famous American song – I must be in my teens when I had heard this song for the first time! So now I will quickly discuss the impact of Jupiter transit on these three Airy signs.
Libra is the most balanced sign of all zodiac signs. In fact a native having Libra moon sign or Libra Ascendant is indeed a much balanced and evolved person especially if his chart has a certain quality to it. Jupiter transit in Aries is a promising sign in the matters of marriage and relationship. Any fights or disputes with your partner will now find a resolution and after November 2023 – you will be enjoying your time with your partner. Businessmen will definitely see much better profit margins especially after November 2023. Those seeking a marriage partner will find a good marriage partner and finally you will be happily married! Overall Jupiter’s entry in the 7th house naturally brings much balance and also support in your life – you will no longer feel dejected – rather you will see much progress in your life.
Gemini is a highly expressive zodiac sign. These natives love to express their feelings, they love to share their thoughts and may be that is why you will find great speakers, as well as many gossipers belonging to this zodiac sign. Many great works of intellectualism and innovations happen through the natives belonging to Gemini zodiac. Now as Jupiter enters Aries – the season of enjoying the fruits of your hard labor begins. The coming one year is going to be a great time and many of your wishes will come true especially if you are running through a positive Mahadasha. Saturn in your ninth house and Jupiter in your eleventh house is a perfect recipe that you will enjoy in the days to come. When gains happen – you tend to feel good about everything in life. Jupiter is coming to bring much gains in your life and so this is a promising period for freshers, working professionals as well as businessmen. In fact most of the positive results of this transit will be seen after November 2023 when Rahu will exit from Aries sign.
Aquarius is the epitome of modernism and unconventional ways and thoughts. Its a very modern sign that want to bring many innovative ideas, and social changes in the society. Many progressive people come from the abode of Aquarius sign. Along with Saturn – Rahu and Uranus also rules over Aquarius. Uranus is the Father of Modern Age and Rahu loves to do all those things that go against the traditions and customs of the society. So the combination of Uranus Rahu and Saturn makes Aquarius a very unique zodiac that only few could understand and related with. In plain words Aquarius is humanist, liberal and progressive thinkers who lead the new generation of our planet. Jupiter in Aries gives power to your communicative abilities and you will also become very busy in the days to come. This is a time when you will enjoy many short trips as well as you will also be able to implement your ideas that leads to new creations. Support from siblings will grow and you will also benefit during this transit. Overall after November 2023 – you will experience growth in your career. Stay blessed and just be yourself.
Overall the transit of Jupiter in Aries is going to be a great support for those who are suffering at the hands of Rahu as well as for those who are suffering due to Shani Sade Sati. Always remember – along with transit – your personal chart Mahadasha and Antardasha also plays a major role in providing the final outcome. In Pisces – Jupiter is cool and calm while in Aries Jupiter is highly motivating and so this transit of Jupiter in Aries will bring a lot motivation for those men and women who were about to give up. Always remember the moment you are ready to quit is usually the moment right before a miracle happens – so never give up. Magic is man-made, Miracle is God-made. A real master will never do any miracles because doing miracles is also a trap! When powers start happening in your spiritual growth, the greatest courage is needed not to show them.
It is said of a disciple of Rinzai, a Zen Master, that some other religious Master’s
disciple was talking to him and the other Master’s disciple said,
‘Our Master is a man of miracles. He can do anything he wants. I have seen many miracles he has been doing, I have witnessed them myself.
What is the great thing about your Master? What miracles can he do?’
And the disciple of Rinzai said, ‘The greatest miracle that my Master can do is not to do miracles.’
Meditate on it. ‘The greatest miracle my Master can do is not to do miracles.’ When miraculous powers start happening, only the weaklings will do them. The stronger one will not do them — because he knows that now this is another trap. Again the world is trying to pull him back.
This is the last trap. If you can avoid psychic energies, silently, witnessing, if you can pass them by without being entangled by them, without being imprisoned by them, only then do you arrive home.
Many seekers on the spiritual path get lost in the powers and siddhis – only one in a million is wise enough to not to get caught in this last trap and he is the chosen one – he is Jesus, he is Buddha, he is Mahavira and he is indeed on the path towards liberation – towards that ultimate consciousness called God.
You all stay blessed. And remember to meditate on God’s Holy Name. Aum Gam Ganapatye Namaha. Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
