Celestial Drama in Libra

[Saindhavi]

In May 1994 onwards when Rahu was in Libra till Dec 1995, Saturn was in Aquarius - much of the time retrograde, which is not good in Saturn's case.

Although this was a benefic position for Rahu and partially benefic position for Saturn, one has to see where Libra and Aquarius lie in one's chart. Besides, one has to see where Aries, Leo and Scorpio lie in one's chart because Saturn from Aquarius aspected these houses and Saturn's aspect has to be seen in context of these houses' location in one's chart.

Besides, in order to see parents' health, parents' charts also matter. You can't judge parents' health accurately by your chart alone. It will be a general reading at best.

In comparison, now Rahu-Saturn are going to join in an exaltation/friendly house this time. So, the configuration is different from the last time Rahu was in Libra.

By the way, Saturn doesn't suppress Rahu in conjunction. Rather, they both make each other stronger and empower each other, they being friends.

This is why Yellow thinks 2 thugs together may not be good - because they'll empower each other.

And this is why I think that 2 thugs in a friend's house will be happy and will cause good for that house, because it happens to be a friend's house - they'll empower each other to make that house flourish.

Besides, Ketu is going to be benefic in Aries too, as Aries is its friend's house. So not only Libra, but Aries house will also give good effect - provide it lies in a good place in one's chart.

Libra Lagna people who are not married should get married and those who are married should have a great relationship going!

I am pretty sure that Rahu-Saturn transit in Libra is going to be benefic - except during the problematic periods mentioned above and only if Libra is a good house in one's chart.

We'll begin to see the results soon. Everyone's report will be much appreciated.

Please mention your Lagna, Mahadasha running and where Rahu-Saturn are in your charts.

Saindhaviji:

Shouldn't Ra-Sa benefic effects be observed only by those who have these two planets benefic in their natal chart???

I had a devastating effect in May 2011 in personal life that I am unable to cope with even today.

I have an extremely malefic Rahu in 12H, neutral saturn in virgo lagna. So I am not expecting much from Ra-Sa conjunction in 2H as it is pretty much gonna be damaging. (Sa in libra transit is saptama shani for me).

Current dasha: Ra-Ke and will start with Ra-Ve in April 2013, which I am hoping to be better than Ra-Ke, since Venus is YK for Virgo Lagna and is placed in trine in my natal chart.

Saturn's direct transit in virgo was extremely benefic for me in terms of profession/career. Saturn's retro transits and combust are pretty much linked with extreme mental stress in my personal as well as professional life.

Dear Saindhavi,

"Personally, I would really see Rahu out of Scorpio as soon as possible. So I really wanted to follow early May 2011 and hence, November 2012 as a possible date."

That's really funny, I was hoping for/banking on the same. Not going through a great period, so I really hoped that there would be enough evidence to support an early transit of Rahu into Libra. Alas, more waiting.

Thank you very much for your elaborate reply. Will try and give feedback near the transit date.

God bless,

[Saindhavi]

Zara,

Yes, that was not very good for us, but we can't ignore the consistent dates coming from Geocentric setting, nor can we mix the 2 settings.

Your feedback will be much appreciated from 1st of Oct onwards, when Mars leaves Libra and controls Rahu - we are almost there, just around the corner!

Explorings,

You are absolutely right! That's why I have asked for information on Lagna, Mahadasha running and Rahu-Saturn's position in people's charts.

Well, 2 thugs getting empowered in their friend's house 7th from Moon and 2nd from Lagna in your case should give you good relationship, though of an unconventional nature - also lots of money and professional partnerships. You can hit a jackpot !

Only, Ketu strong in 8th from Lagna is not a good sign, especially when you're running Rahu-Ketu.

Prayers to Ganesha and the usual remedies for Rahu that you're already doing.

Saindhavi ji,

You got my point right. About the logic you have given, I agree it has weight, but to be honest with you, I don't trust the natural malefics.

Don't you think Ketu being a planet of detachment will bring problems in married/romantic life for people with Libra ascendant? I am a Libra lagna person, and I am unmarried, so should I expect getting married in the next 1.5 years?

I am glad to see you so confident about the Saturn-Rahu transit doing well for people with Libra in benefic houses. It gives me some relief actually as I have been stressed about it so far.

[Saindhavi]

Yellow,

Same logic - Ketu in a friend's house will cause it to flourish - though in an enigmatic and unconventional manner.

Had it been in an enemy's house - as it has been in this transit, it would have caused problems.

Of course I'm talking about cases where Aries-Libra fall in good houses.

If you are not married, get ready to get married!

(Of course provided your 2nd and 7th houses are not spoilt in Lagna chart)

I get a grand wedding dinner from you and a share in Explorings' jackpot!

[explorings]

ROFL!! Saindhaviji, if I hit a Jackpot... we are in for a celeb.

[explorings]

On a different note, I agree with Yellow. 2 natural malefics in one house tht to Saturn and Rahu, i am not expecting much. It also forms the classical "Shrapit Yoga"

True exalted Saturn is necessary for actualizing the things you want in life, however with Rahu this may cause political unrest, problems in government, etc.

Individuals will face problems in personal as well as professional life.

[basab14]

Saindhavi ji,

I have got your point about Ketu in Aries in a good house doing good. Unfortunately, I don't have a good 2nd or 7th house and neither a good Venus. But if God shows His grace on me, overriding the effects of the planets and marriage ends up happening in the next 1.5 years, why just you, I will invite everyone from lova to my wedding. Only one condition though: you guys will promise not to spoil my wedding party by getting into a heated argument on some astrology point or on the famous 'destiny vs free will' topic.

If you are not married, get ready to get married!

(Of course provided your 2nd and 7th houses are not spoilt in Lagna chart)

Yes, Explorings. If it was just Rahu there, or just Saturn, I would still have had some hope, but when two of the most notorious planets join hands, one shouldn't expect anything but trouble.

[tripura]

Saindhaviji,

[tripura]

Also since Saturn and Rahu were in the second

[tripura]

I am also noticing unpleasantness in my environment and considering relocation. Saindhavi I fear Big trouble is on the way.and on top of that there is a feeling of Doom and gloom regarding Dec 21 2012.Rumour is that millions of people might die before we clear 2013.Keeping my fingers crossed and praying we all are able to clear this phase.Libra is 12th to my moon and third house to my ascendant.

whatever happens with Rah + Saturn.... i can guarantee you that the world is not going to end!

ditto!

[Saindhavi]

yellow,

Beware - There are 6000 + members on LOVA!

No, I'll just concentrate on food and music and dance, no astrological discussion for me.

But as I said, Ketu will give you an unconventional marriage - elopement with an unusual bride and marrying in secret is more in order than a conventional, boring, traditional arranged marriage.

So, when you come out of hiding, you can give us dinner.

Explorings,

So, it's yellow + you vs I on this issue. Let's see, soon we'll know. I think Rahu will give lots of benefits and strategic powers along with Saturn actualising those powers and we will get lots of rise, success, wealth - and happiness through Ketu.

Shrapit Yoga will be for those in whose charts Libra falls in 3rd, 8th or 12th house, not where Libra falls in a good house. Besides, Shrapit Yoga is more operational when either or both Rahu and Saturn are in an enemy's sign - Tripura's reference of Rahu + Saturn in Sagittarius is a case of Shrapit Yoga.

[Saindhavi]

Yellow, Explorings, Tripura,

As I said, before Rahu becomes benefic, it will go through Sandhi from 4th of Dec to 11th of Jan (Geocentric) and Rahu in Sandhi is a greater trouble than Rahu out of Sandhi.

So, before it becomes benefic, it may cause havoc in Sandhi. That's why I gave those dates above to caution people. So, Rahu will be benefic only after 11th Jan. Before that, we have to go through the storm.

Tripura,

Yes, I said Libra should be in a good house. Both 3rd and 12th are not good and it's not good for these houses to be so powerful. Get a recital of Durga Saptashati by priest done this Navaratri and do it every 2 Navaratris - before Rama Navami and during Durga Puja.

If you can't find a priest abroad, ask your family or friends in India to get it done in your name.

NASA has issued a special notice informing people that all this business of 2012 Doomsday is nonsense and nothing of the sort is going to happen. Find it in Google by typing NASA 2012 or something like that.

I said this thread is not for reading charts, so please don't post charts here, otherwise everyone will do it.

[tripura]

saindhaviji,

[explorings]

My lagna is virgo. Rahu is in taurus, and saturn and venus in libra in my birth chart. Since May 2011, I experienced a high intensity in my work (specifically May 2011-March 2012). Things slowed down after April, again picked up speed at the end of July 2012. Everything else remained stable. Travel increased, and finances improved drastically after May 2011. Did have a change in residence on May 29th, 2012.

Tiwari:

Did it face any stress or health related problems esp during early 2012?

[Saindhavi]

Tripura,

Check your PM.

Regards

[Saindhavi]

Well, Mars is already in Sandhi - I just checked.

So, Saturn is no longer afflicted - no wonder I have been feeling so elated!

Well, throughout this conjunction period I had arguments, conflicts and tensions for no reason and for no role of mine in all this.

[Humannature]

Is time between Dec 2012 to Nov 14 a bad time to have kids since they will be born with shrapit yoga?

[tripura]

Human Nature,

Yeah S ji..I read that n then looked up shrapit yoga. But everything I read only mentioned Sat+rahu in Libra thru nov '14 form shrapit dosha. Din't find anything abt Libra good or bad house.
