Jyotisha only uses the planets up to Saturn to create a chart. It does recognize other planets but they are not used to interpret a rasi or Vedic chart. Western astrology, which grew out of the immigrated wisdom of the Vedic eastern origins exploded in the cultural revolution of Greece adopted the external planets in their chart calculation and interpretation. As a western astrologer for the first decade of my profession, I cannot deny the effectiveness of the outer planets when they travel very close to the faster moving Vedic planets. This time is one of those times to take note.
MARS AND URANUS IN PISCES
Mars is transiting through Pisces rather quickly compared to Uranus. The revolution for Uranus around the Sun is 84 years. Mars takes 1.88 years to orbit the Sun. This means every 1.88 years Mars will come up to dance with Uranus. As Astrologers we take careful notice of this transit.
Mars is a volatile fiery tempered malefic. As much as we love Mars, because we are all connected to this frequency on some lunar magnetic field, Mars can kick ass; in a good way but also in a disturbing way. Both. How you deal with the transiting weather pattern in your own chart has to do with how it is set up in your own chart and your own karma. Watch for a lot of tears to arise. Your past came come back to haunt your or enchant you. Sensitivity is high. Psychic energy is also high.
On a global level we are all in this cosmic soup together. Uranus is the planet of unexpected sudden events that shake things up. Uranus is more often than not involved in earthquakes, explosions, accidents, and general events that cause a breakdown on some level. Mars and Uranus together are a lethal combination. Mars and Uranus in the sign of Pisces causes rash emotional action based on anger; even for mother Gaia. That’s one side of the coin. Since it is the element of water it can bring in floods or water related incidents. Mars and Uranus are only one degree apart. As much as the sun seems to be quiet just now, 2013 is the peak of the solar storm season, and it is possible one arises with this energy. Let’s watch.
SUN AND VENUS
The good news is that Venus is very strong in Pisces and helps cool off this fiery combination of the Sun, Mars, Uranus dance. Venus brings the love home. Pisces rules the past. This means there will be past lovers showing up. Falling in love with Sun and Venus in Pisces is ideal. Mars and Uranus in the bedroom will turn it to divine. Lovely for sex. Open your heart as much as you can. Allow the love that you feel to feed you with pleasure and let that pleasure open your nadis and run through your chakras. Energize your soul. The energy is spectacular for that, as long as you are not in a flood!
EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION
Look how may applications there are for this word or action, rather. Let’s look at underhanded manipulation: crowd, data, market, media, psychological. As much as Pisces can be the most spiritual of the zodiac signs, it can also be the most manipulative. Method: emotional manipulation. We are living in Kali Yuga at an all time high environment of manipulation. Marketing is the game of manipulation. Understanding how your life is being manipulated is an important exercise.
WILLINGLY
Are you being manipulated willingly and are just fine with it? Fine. To be aware of it and approve is one way to go about it. To be manipulated and be unaware of it and to be happy is another path.
UNWILLINGLY
To know that somebody is twisting your tail emotionally is brutal, yet it happens all the time. This trait is passed on from mother to daughter and from father to son and all the various combinations. Emotional manipulation is first learned in the family. It is often overt and a difficult task to break free. Many never do. The energy that exists during this time will surface these issues. With Uranus with Mars there will be emotional breakdowns. Past issues being the main culprit.
UTTARABHADRAPADA; LUCKY FEET
“The warrior star.” “The flaming pair.” “Ahirbudhnya; serpent of the deep sea” in Shiva’s army. Determination, wisdom, experience, high ethical standards. You could deduce from this that one could be lucky in their pursuits in love, manipulation or endings. The main thing you could remember about this asterism is that it is about the interest of protection. Most wars are staged over the idea of protection. In any case this time is bound to be volatile.
‘FINGER OF GOD’
Saturn with Rahu is at the apex of this configuration which means the stress will flow out through Saturn/Rahu. This is intense. We are very likely to see some very strong events that deal with the uncovering of some area that has been manipulated. This same energy can instill a deeper need for discipline. Are you cutting off another facet to your personality to polish so that you can emanate more radiance? How is all of this flowing through your cosmic light vehicle and out into the world?
Love only…
Paddi
