Significance of Lunar Eclipse 28.10.2023

Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the lunar surface.

In Vedic astrology, the Moon represents the mind, emotions and the subconscious self.

Therefore, when a lunar eclipse occurs, it is said to temporarily disrupt the natural flow of lunar energy, which can manifest as emotional turmoil, inner conflict and uncertainty.

Lunar eclipses are believed to stir up deep seated emotions and hidden conflicts.

We may experience heightened sensitivity, mood swings and a sense of uncertainty during this time.

On a positive note, lunar eclipses are seen as opportunities for spiritual growth and self realization.

It’s advisable to postpone major decisions, surgeries, or important life events during the period of eclipses.

The last eclipse of 2023!

Solar Eclipse 14th October 2023, arrives in bright & creative ways.

The first of a new round of eclipses…

A Solar Eclipse signals a fresh start, where old conditions are cleared away, by a deliberate decision or by fate.

A plan or ambition that has faded in importance lately may be finished decisively or else the matter is taken out of hands.

Sudden change can be stressful, solar eclipses create an Intense atmosphere on the day, where you find overwhelmed by a personal or professional concern, often out of all proportion to its importance in your life.

The impact may last months or even years into the future, don’t act without thought, especially if you’re coming from a restless or anxious place.

You may see an Issue quite differently, after the shadowy atmosphere has passed.

You can use the power of rational thought and communication to ease yourself through the day, keep a clear head in a high pressure environment.

This is not a good day for travel, business or any major enterprise, it’s a great time for your spiritual work and meditation.

It’s better to remain quietly indoors, if possible and project your intent from a powerful Inner level.

Jupiter, planet of knowledge & belief...

Jupiter is Retrograde from 4th Sep 4th to 31st Dec 2023

This transit sees Jupiter retracing it's steps of the last several months & giving you a repeat challenge or opportunity from earlier in the year.

Something that was offered to you may only now feel right to accept, or else you are a late arrival & are making up for lost time as the scale of an opportunity becomes clear.

Jupiter’s expansive influence often takes time to adjust to, has a dynamic & impulsive quality, so you feel better to be taking action rather than sitting on the side lines thinking about it.

Foreign or exotic knowledge has a strong appeal, this window may be your chance to embrace a different work or study culture & take your mind in a different direction.

Jupiter goes retrograde exactly as Venus, planet of relating, moves forwards, so early September may see you changing your thinking over a relationship issue, you may need to get an idea or proposition cleared with your partner first, before you can move on with travelling or education.

This situation may also need you to extricate yourself from a previous commitment, so be careful of giving any further promises until you are sure of your direction.

From October 4th through to the first half of November, Jupiter exchanges full gazes with dynamic Mars, you may have to reconcile your actions with your beliefs.

This is a potentially high achieving & successful time, if you are fully behind your career drive, but get used to a competitive scene & having to fight to be noticed.

October 28th ~ 30th is a pivotal point, where an abrupt shift of opinion takes others by surprise.

Mercury, planet of thought & speech.

Mercury ~ Make your mind up on a partnership 28 Aug ~ 29 Sep 2023

Your relaxed nature is more concerned with pure pleasure & affection than a bold statement of opinion, but you have definite views, about issues & prefer to remain independent minded.

You indulge yourself & like to have fun, know when to snap into focus.

This extended transit includes Mercury’s retrograde phase up to September 15th, where you are re thinking plans & ideas, can research information & upcoming business.

Mercury was in Purva through the first half of August, you may be reconsidering an introduction from that time, or deciding whether to make a proper connection.

You are on the lookout for fun & stimulation, though this can lead you to be restless & easily distracted, to the point where you end up leaving a task unfinished.

This asterism’s ruling deity is invoked at the time of marriage, which suggests an interest in partnership & sees you flirting & playing mental games.

The Shakti or unique gift, here is also for ‘Procreation’, though Mercury’s style is more of a shared rapport & idealised friendship than a passionate love affair.

This transit coincides with romantic Venus also going retrograde up to September 4th, where you get a double dose of a friend or contact returning from the past.

A fated quality comes with this kind of encounter, you get a chance to fix unfinished business & do the right thing you missed out on before.

Ketu, the Moon’s South Node is in Pada Three...

Ketu ~ Believe in your romantic dream 28 Aug ~ 30 Oct 2023

This pada is in Libra navamsha, the chart of marriage & spiritual blessings, which gives otherworldly Ketu a natural underlying strength.

The double Venus rulership here gives you a way with people, any compromise you make at home or in business is likely to play well for the long term.

You have flair & style, Chittra’s symbol of a shining Jewel sees you stand out from the crowd with a put together image which others are inspired to copy.

You have energy & drive, but any new project needs to be channelled thought out, do not give way to Ketu’s blind, headless tendencies.

Yoga & meditation for inner freedom is Ketu’s real domain, you can integrate your spiritual search with action & influence in the real world.

Work on your creativity & self-expression this transit has also great potential in the healing arts, Chittra’s Shakti, the ‘Power to Collect Merit’, offers a reward for helping someone, even when you may not have an end goal in mind.

From October 18th, Ketu is influenced by the Sun in Libra, which gives you a greater ego investment in your plans, but you also need to be subtle & allow others to take credit for an idea which you have put forward.

Pay attention to a flash of intuition on October 19th, where you know what someone is thinking without being told.

Rahu, the shadow planet of desire & rebellion.

Rahu in Ashwini ~ Seize the moment to rebel 28 Aug ~ 30 Oct 2023.

Ashwini is known for impulse & daring, or special gift for Quick Action, favours initiative & making your mind up quickly.

Pada one, relates to Aries navamsha, the chart of marriage & good fortune, which gives Rahu underlying strength & focus, where you can innovate & revolt against the existing order.

At other times it pays to take your time & stick to a formula, but this transit sees you going out on a limb in a colourful & individual way, an opportunity may only be around for a short time & you can’t afford to wait for others to make their mind up.

The double Mars rulership of this pada gives you courage to face opposition or criticism as a front runner, though be mindful not to take your revolutionary spirit too far.

The first nakshatra pada is linked to the tendency, which relates to action & vocation, here you find fulfilment in Rahu’s natural desire to rebel, a foreign or exotic type of business suits your style & you become a great exponent of a trend or lifestyle whose time is yet to arrive.

The influence of protective, expansive Jupiter on Rahu favours knowledge & education, you have the skills to make a success out of a school or teaching enterprise, keep to your principles & you can make being an outsider work for you.
