Thanks for your reply vedicmmath. May god bless you. As you correctly mentioned, I have kept personal matters on hold for long but I will have to start dealing with them soon but first I will have to complete my masters

Thanks a lot vedicmaths. I agree with you that there was less drive to plunge into research for the last couple of months. I will complete my masters and graduate by may 2015 (that's how long i will be funded). I am trying to think the next step but it's a haze so far. Another attempt at PhD sounds ...

I could not clear my oral exam. I started well but in the middle and towards the end got nervous and at times made a mess of simple explanations. I did prepare well for this exam as I knew that failure in this exam would mean this would be the end of my phd. As luck would have it, it turned out to ...

Thanks a lot sire:-)

Thanks again Sujitji. You have always been very helpful.

Along with the oral exam, I also need to do a proposal defense in front of the committee and was really wanting to do both before november. The antar of Mangal does not start before 27/10/2016 and I wanted to do both of them in the last 2 ...

I am pursuing phd in environmental policy in Il, USA. I have recently experienced some obstacles and I thought it would be really helpful to have some guidance from learned astrologers. I gained some helpful suggestion from this forum in the ...

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude for the feedback to Ellipsis sir and Sujit sir for the feedback I received here an year ago. Although I wanted to take my exam before Nov 2013 but I could not take it before the last week of May 2014. I passed my written exams easily but ...

excellent read...not that i understood everything but i will continue to read this

Dear Ellipsis

I feel deeply indebted to you for the time you have spent on my chart and the analysis you have provided. I probably will not be able to wait till november and have to take the exam around July/august. I will keep your suggestions in my mind and will try to schedule the exam ...

Dear Elipsis,
I apologize for asking another question but couldn't resist myself from doing so. I started my phd well and got a fellowship from Sep 2011- July 2012 but recently experienced a critical period between may 2012 (Thats when the Mahadasha of Kethu started) and oct-nov/2012. I was under ...

Thanks a lot for your prompt and insightful analysis. I think I understand what you meant. I will keep working heard towards my goal. Thanks and regards

Thanks a lot for the analysis. I just wanted to ask a quick question. I have actually benefitted from mercury dasha and saturn bhukti, during which I was able to secure scholarship to pursue PhD in US. In august 2010, I had to come to a foreign nation leaving my motherland and family behind and this ...

I have always wondered about a particular combination in my natal chart. With Leo being the ascendant, I have jupiter in the 4th house (scorpio), moon in the 8th house (pieces) and sun in 12th house (cancer). Jupiter, moon and sun all are in trinal positions from each other and are placed in water ...

Hi,

I had a query on grand triangle and did post twice because when i reread the query after submitting it i just saw a few grammatical errors. I submitted it again with minor revision. I got a reply that I was posting the same query twice and hence my question was deleted from the forum. I would ...
