India, a country of mystical mysteries and secret knowledge, a country of Maharajas and poor people, thousands of ancient temples and luxurious palaces. A country striking in its contrasts, dazzling with the brightest colors of silk saris and saffron robes of wandering monks.
​
India has given the world many wonderful things: the philosophical systems, knowledge of health, spices, precious stones, chess - the ancient game of Indian rajas, playing in which they developed the strategy and tactics of future battles. Few people know that the original name of chess is Chaturanga ("catur" - four, "anga" - part). In antiquity it was the battle of four armies, until we got to know only about the battle of the two. Arabic numerals that we use every day are nothing more than ancient Indian figures, borrowed by the quick Arabs.
​
India gave us Kipling with its fascinating tales of Mowgli, inspired by the breath of the impenetrable jungles near Bombay. India is the country where the great discoverer and traveler Vasco de Gama, the discoverer of the sea route to India from Europe, completed his journey.
​
A country known to the whole world for the love story, symbolized by the sparkling white marble Taj Mahal, the expression of Shah Jahan's love for his wife.
​
Perhaps many of you have noticed that the world has been changing rapidly in the past decade, we are discovering the hitherto unknown secrets of Indian innermost knowledge. Instead of charging in the morning, we do yoga, we treat and heal according to the principles of Ayurveda, we meditate on the seashore.
​
Well, we will acquaint you with the fundamental knowledge underlying all sciences - with Indian astrology. In India, up to now, no significant case can be dispensed with without the advice of an astrologer, whether it's a wedding, moving, opening a business, starting treatment, etc. Indian astrology permeates the life of both ancient and modern Indian society. It is filled with life-giving myths, legends and stories of gods and heroes.
​
Each person, being influenced by certain planets, plays a role in this play called life. To understand your role, your place in life, realize your desires, discover talents in yourself and implement them, do not look through the crowd of that same person - in all this Indian astrology can help.
​
We will acquaint you with the peculiarities and nuances of the influence of the planets at a certain point in time, with their characteristics, let us see how these features affect our life.
​
So, Indian astrology in Sanskrit is called Jyotish. Jyotish in translation means "light of knowledge" or "Divine light". Indeed, this is the science that can shed light on the most hidden corners of our destiny. With the help of this knowledge, our life becomes clear and understandable, before us we discover hidden opportunities. We are discovering talents that we did not even suspect of before.
But, nevertheless, whereby this amazing science gives us such opportunities for assessing situations? Indian astrology has certain tools, such as 9 planets, 12 signs and 12 houses. We also have in our arsenal a group of stars called Nakshatra or Moon camps. They are considered daughters of the ancestor of mankind Daksha. We also have certain temporary systems, through which we can foresee certain changes in the fate of people. Usually this knowledge is expressed by such worldly wisdom as the replacement of black and white bands in life.
​
Each planet has its own zone of influence, is responsible for many things, events, trends and directions. For example, Jupiter, which in all astrological systems is considered one of the most favorable planets, is responsible for spiritual and material growth, manages the affairs of religion and philosophy, gives favorable opportunities for prosperity, growth, abundance. It is a planet of happiness, luck and prosperity, a planet of joy and optimism. Our next article will be devoted to a closer acquaintance with this beautiful planet. And also in the future series of articles we will introduce you to each of the nine participants of the stellar mystery.
​
We will consider the influence of these planets in motion, that is, in transit. I must say in advance that here it will be more about general trends, the impact directly on each individual person will depend on the location of the planets in his individual natal chart.
Nevertheless, consideration of general trends in transit situations can be very useful.
​
For example, right now, until the middle of July, we see a very interesting situation when the Sun and Mars are together. Two fiery planets joined together in one sign and approached very close to each other. In the existing system of castes, these are two kshatriya - that is, war. However, the Sun in the hierarchy of the planets occupies the highest position, this is the king. Accordingly, it is associated with power, status, royal ambitions and unlimited powers.
​
Mars is a military commander, he commands the tsarist army, acts swiftly and resolutely, resolving any questions in the most direct and shortest possible way.
​
Both planets have the authority to give orders, are connected with the power, seek to dominate, defeat the enemy, but, as you now understand, by various methods. The Sun has more powers, it is inclined to command, and Mars acts from a position of brute force.
A close connection of such powerful fire planets forms the so-called Agni Yoga, that is, the fire connection. In people's lives, this is fraught with an increase in the number of conflict situations, quarrels and disputes, emergency situations. Also, fires are possible, especially when the air element influences these two planets. As you know, the air inflates the fire and is able to bring the matter to a serious fire.
​
This connection will affect political and military spheres, creating increased tension, changes in power structures and ministries, resignations or scandalous situations connected with high-level officials, difficulties in negotiations, etc.
​
However, if these planets are successfully located in an individual natal chart, they can provide rapid career growth, the opportunity to achieve great results - especially with regard to air and fire signs. For them it is time to make a career, win in disputes, go to the first positions. Water and earth signs are recommended to be cautious during this period.
