Dear Readers, welcome to the August 2023 edition of
The Astrological eMagazine.
Our beloved senior editor,
Raman Suprajarama, imparts his
profound knowledge by translating the third chapter
of the
sacred Brihat Parashara Hora. In
this issue, he explores the fascinating science of
zodiac signs and uncovers the concealed meanings
associated with each one. Parashara teaches us that
the key to easily expressing the results of a
horoscope lies in skillfully dissecting its
components into smaller fragments. Raman Suprajarama
simplifies the meaning of the verses and reveals the
significance of each zodiac sign.
As we fellow astrologers keep a watch on the major
transits every year, a notable transit this year is
that of
Rahu Ketu on the Pisces-Virgo Axis.
After their transit on the Aries-Libra axis, they
will retrograde into the Pisces and Virgo axis, on
October 30, 2023. The last time that Rahu was in
Pisces, and Ketu in Virgo happened 18 years ago
(2005-2006). Our revered contributor Lalitha Donatella Riback thoroughly explains the different possibilities
that will take place during this rare occurrence
with examples of some famous personalities having
such a transit in their horoscope.
Sadesati is a 7.5 years transit of Saturn that
instils fear in people’s mind. Is this true?
Professor Dr. N. S. Murthy explores
the effects of Sadesati Shani -
astrological principles, remedies, examples, puranic
references and an analysis of
Dr. B.V. Raman's horoscope in
relation to Sadesati Shani.
Dr. Nemani Venkata Raghunatha Rao
employs Nadi Astrology Principles in a two-part
series to examine various life events of an
individual who was born into an ordinary farming
family but went on to achieve the esteemed position
of Scientist "F" in a Government of India
organization. The analysis delves into significant
milestones such as education, marriage, first job,
and even the birth of children.
The study of fingers encompasses their structure,
shape, size, length, nails, skin patterns at the
fingertips, and various other features. At times,
fingers can reveal with certainty what the entire
palm conceals, providing insights into a
person's hidden character and potential health
conditions, among other things. Fingers hold great
significance in the field of palmistry, and they are
traditionally named after the planets that represent
their respective qualities.
N. Chandrashekar delves into each
finger, elucidating how it reflects specific
characteristics and traits in an individual. If you
have an interest in palmistry, this article serves
as an excellent introductory guide.
In the monthly series titled "Vedic Astrology
101," Archna Murthy continues
to provide insights into the significant role played
by Varahamihira. As astrologers, we greatly admire
Varahamihira, the revered deity of astrology.
However, it is equally important to understand who
inspired Varahamihira and the valuable contributions
made by his predecessors. In this article, Archna
Murthy reveals lesser-known information about the
prominent figures who significantly influenced the
field of Jyotish Shastram before Varahamihira's
time. Join us on a historical journey of Vedic
astrology, commencing from the 3rd century.
The term "psychic attack"
refers to the phenomenon of energy being directed
towards our subtle body, specifically our astral
body. This energy projection can originate from
lower astral entities like pretas or lower deities,
who attempt to infiltrate the subtle bodies of
humans for various purposes. One such purpose is
when a person becomes the target of black magic
hexing. Many astrologers frequently encounter
clients who suspect they are under such hexes. This
article aims to identify astrological combinations
associated with these issues and provide potential
remedial solutions. The author,
Kaushik V Prasad, also addresses
common myths and superstitions surrounding these
problems. Additionally, the author presents powerful
remedial measures to counteract the negative
influences of any detrimental energies indicated in
the horoscope.
The culmination of our magazine includes the
customary monthly offerings, which entail
prognostications tailored to your respective Moon
sign, a comprehensive Ephemeris, and a meticulously
curated Calendar for the upcoming month of July. As
always, we warmly welcome your constructive thoughts
and valuable feedback, and encourage you to

us as we strive towards delivering the highest
quality astrological content possible.

In May 2023, our esteemed Prime Minister, Shree
Narendra Modi ji, inaugurated an event commemorating
Indian accomplishments and self-reliance, signifying
the successful culmination of the revitalization of
Central Vista Avenue in New Delhi. The featured
article by our revered Chief Editor,
Bangalore Niranjan Babu, sheds light on the underlying energy behind
India's New Parliament Building as per the principles of Vastu and Muhurtha.
Jayanth Agasthya's piece on the same subject
elaborates on how the propitious muhurta of the new
Parliament House foretells both challenges and
triumphs, with planetary alignments favoring
success. It explores the influential placement of
Saturn, offering a glimmer of hope for governments
that uphold righteousness.
Archna Murthy's
monthly series on Vedic Astrology 101 highlights the
contributions of Varahamihira to the field of
Vedic Astrology. She opines that Varahamihira’s impact was
so profound that it divided the timeline of Jyothish
Shastram into the periods before and after
Varahamihira. Like a shooting star, his brilliance
forever transformed this ancient science, leaving an
enduring legacy in its wake. We are sure this read
will inspire you of Varahamihira’s
contributions and vision.
This issue presents the final installment of the
series "Metamorphosis: How to Analyze Spiritual
Transformation" by
Dr. Nemani Venkata Raghunatha Rao, in which he examines the charts of highly
spiritual individuals and explains the principles to
consider in discerning the spiritual progression of
an individual. While many of our clients seek
guidance on earthly matters such as education,
marriage, and other concerns, as learned
astrologers, it is our additional duty to guide them
towards the path of spiritual awakening.
Despite the changing times, certain life events such
as marriage are best undertaken at the optimal
moment. In predictive astrology,
Kedar Nath Manapragada
delves into the subject of
understanding and delineating the time of
marriage. He shares various methods used to determine the
right time for marriage, discussing the importance
of comprehending planetary influences and their
corresponding dasa periods in determining the timing
of events.
Advancing the exploration and intricacies of
astrological houses,
Professor N. S. Murthy
introduces the 12th house, widely
acknowledged as Vyayasthana. This house represents
aspects such as loss, decline, isolation,
liberation, Moksha (the ultimate state of
emancipation), transcendence into the afterlife, and
detachment. He elucidates the intricate interplay of
various planetary configurations within this house
and their profound ramifications on individuals.
In the realm of mundane astrology,
Dr. Phaniraj M. Shastry
reveals the
celestial threats that we will
witness in 2023. Through the study of various
charts, he provides a list of countries that are
likely to be affected by these celestial patterns.
He opines that since the reminder of 2023 will
witness two eclipses: a Solar Eclipse on October
14th and a Lunar Eclipse on October 28th, it is
likely to contribute to disturbances and potentially
fuel war situations. Remain vigilant and utilize
this information for preventing or preparing for
adverse situations.

As sentient beings, we undergo constant evolution,
with old cells dying and new ones being created.
Despite this inherent dynamism, we often exert
significant effort in desiring stasis, yearning for
a status quo. Interestingly, this inclination is not
unique to us, as everything in the universe
endeavors to attain a state of
"equilibrium" – a condition
characterized by stability, balance, absence of
disruption, or simply put, peace. For humanity,
equilibrium manifests as a state of intellectual or
emotional harmony, a state of poised equilibrium.
This publication delves into an array of
astrological articles, encompassing the contribution
of Jyothisha's pioneering figures, the special
combinations in spiritual individuals, the
horoscopic patterns of criminals, the realm of
predictive astrology, and even the depths of mundane
astrology.
Dr. S. Archna Murthy sheds light on
the notable contributions of Aryabhatta and
Bhaskara, esteemed Astro-Mathematicians within the
realm of Siddhanta Jyothisha. Through her column,
one will come to realize that many fundamental
mathematical concepts including the Pythagorean
theorem had already been discovered by Aryabhatta
and Bhaskara centuries prior to their popularization
and attribution to the Western world.
In the second installment of a comprehensive
three-part series exploring the intricacies of
analyzing spiritual transformation,
Dr. Nemani Venkata Raghunatha Rao delves into the examination of example horoscopes
belonging to profoundly enlightened souls like Swami
Vivekananda, Paramhamsa Yogananda, Swami Sivananda,
and Maharshi Arvind - Aurobindo Ghose. Through these
case studies, Dr. Rao elucidates how the principles
elucidated in the first part of the series unveil
the secrets of spiritual metamorphosis through the
lens of Jyothish.
Archit Saxena presents his
comprehensive study, observations, and discoveries
derived from analyzing the charts of criminals,
specifically focusing on the most notorious among
them: serial killers such as Ted Bundy, Richard
Ramirez, Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Wayne Gacy. Saxena
proposes methods to avert negative occurrences and
redirect them toward positive outcomes. Through the
exploration of Vedic Astrology, we aim to gain a
deeper comprehension of the influence of these
cosmic forces on our existence.
It is intriguing to note that individuals derive
satisfaction from varied activities. Pursuing a
career without experiencing job satisfaction can be
a challenging endeavor. In the realm of predictive
astrology,
Dr. Akila S. Murthy delves into the
exploration of how the lines on our hands can serve
as a valuable guide in unraveling our hidden
desires, talents, and aspirations. This journey of
self-discovery has the potential to inspire and
guide us towards personal fulfillment, ultimately
paving the way for job or career satisfaction.
Within the realm of mundane astrology,
Kohulen Sundaram presents an
intriguing article titled "The Puzzling yet
Perplexing Activation of Mahadasha and
Antardasha." In this piece, Sundaram explores
the concept of Mahadasha and its sub-periods, known
as Antardasha or Bhukti, shedding light on how the
Mahadasha lord remains active throughout these
sub-periods, and the manifestation of results occurs
only when the lordship remains unchanged within a
given sub-period.
Samesh Geppi (also known fondly as
Sadasiva) provides an explanation regarding the
astrological categorization of the United States of
America as a Scorpio nation rather than Sagittarius.
Geppi delves into the rationale behind Sibley's
5:10 PM Chart being deemed the most reliable birth
time for the USA when referenced against the
Nakshatras and Dasa.
The universal laws of Karma operate as a powerful
equalizer. In the domain of predictive astrology,
Bibhuti Bhushan Pani undertakes a
comprehensive analysis of nine distinct charts to
elucidate the connection between thyroid gland
disorders and a karmic imprint of using harsh
language in past lives. Pani proceeds to offer a
remedy for this affliction through the worship of
Neela Kantha Shiva, as recommended by Jamini
Maharishi, or by invoking Lord Vishnu, the Karaka
(significator) of the 11th house, through the
practice of Maha mantra Japa, which entails chanting
the sacred name of Lord Vishnu. We are sure this
will be a interesting read for you.

Decoding Auspicious, Inauspicious and Aprakasha
Grahas
by Raman Suprajarama
Welcome to the May 2023 issue of The Astrological
eMagazine! As we enter the second quarter of the
year, the planets continue to bring about exciting
and transformative energies. From the powerful
conjunctions, alignments, eclipses and more, there
is much to explore and plan.
Our beloved chief editor,
Niranjan Babu Bangalore, discusses
insights on residential homes from the
Mayamata, an architectural treatise in Vastu Shastra. The
Varnashrama system and different types of homes
based on an individual's nature of work are
described. The article highlights the recommended
dimensions, shapes, heights, and thickness of walls
for different Varnas. It emphasizes the importance
of a well-organized division of labour in society
and the significance of the design of a house in
ensuring the occupants' peaceful and prosperous
life. Finally, the placement of doors and moats is
discussed as part of the recommended design.
In his cover story,
Raman Suprajarama interprets
Parashara's teachings of the Auspicious,
Inauspicious, and Aprakasha Grahas. Planetary positions can determine if they are
auspicious or inauspicious and their interaction
with other planets can result in positive or
negative outcomes. A planet's character can
exhibit both auspicious and inauspicious qualities
depending on its position in the zodiac.
Additionally, Parashara introduces the concept of
Aprakasha grahas, non-luminous celestial objects,
whose association with the Sun, Moon, or Lagna can
lead to problems. However, it is important to note
that Aprakasha grahas are the source of the problem,
not the indicator of the problem. To learn more
about whether these issues always occur or only
during certain periods, read on.
Dr. Nemani Venkata Raghunatha Rao
shares his wisdom on principles of metamorphosis and
how to analyse spiritual transformation in
astrology. He says that the focus is on the third house,
which indicates action/initiative, and whether the
native can alter or enhance their karma. The fourth
house indicates from where one is performing karma,
while the 10th house indicates karma balance.
Saturn's aspect on the 3rd, 4th, and 10th
houses, along with Moon and Lagna, are important
indicators for determining one's abilities to
alter karma and their spiritual transformation or
progression. The article discusses the
stages/categories of human beings and Chakras, which
can be considered to determine how an individual is
associated with metamorphosis. He uses the example
of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa's birth chart to
demonstrate how the principles discussed reveal the
secrets of spiritual transformation through
astrology.
This month’s column,
Dr. Archna Murthy discusses
the concept of "Rishi Runam" or the debt we owe to the sages who have
passed down the knowledge of Vedic Astrology to us.
She focuses on the 18 pioneers or
"Pravarthakas" who were instrumental in
initiating and inspiring people to follow
Jyotisha.
सूर्यः पितामहोव्यासो वसिष्ठोऽत्रि पराशरः ।
कश्यपो
नारदोगर्गो मरीचिर्मनुरङ्गिराः ।।
लोमशः पौलिशश्चैव च्यवनोयवनोभृगुः ।
शौनकोऽष्टादशाश्चैते
ज्योतिः शास्त्र प्रवर्तकाः ।।
The above two verses from Kaashyapa Samhitha
mentions
18 Pravarthakas (Pioneers) - Surya, Brahma,
Vashishta, Atri, Parashara, Kashyapa, Narada,
Garga, Mareechi, Manu, Angira, Lomasa, Paulisha,
Chyavana, Yavana, Bhrigu, Shaunaka, and
Ashtavakra.
The column highlights the contributions of some of
the Pravarthakas, including Lord Surya who gave
knowledge to Maya Asura, who wrote Surya Sidhantha,
which is one of the oldest and highly advanced texts
on Astronomy known to mankind. The essay also
mentions Brahma Sidhantha, an extracted knowledge
from Vedas by Lord Brahma, and the contributions of
Vashishta Maha Rishi and other Pravarthakas to Vedic
Astrology.
Kartheek Darbha and
Sravana Krishna Kandalam detail the
research findings performed on celestial transits
and their implications on economic disasters and
crises. The research focuses on Mercury transit and
its role in economic crises. The research draws from
historical instances and references the Brihat
Samhita to predict future occurrences. The research
covers various topics, including the seven courses
of Mercury, Mercury's role, and its deformed
motion in relation to economic crises. The
categorization of events includes famine, global
energy crises, inflation, currency crises, and
disasters. The essay concludes with a summary of
observations from 1914 to the 2020s, highlighting
significant events like World War II, the Bengal
Famine, and the Wall Street Crash of 1929. The
Saturn-Rohini conjunction and
Mercury's retrograde motion are key factors
affecting the real world's economy.
As Jupiter, the grandest planet in our celestial
sphere, ventures into the fiery Aries, a
transformative shift takes hold above and below.
While stargazers observe in wonder, the
astrologer's mind is attuned to the remarkable
possibilities or fateful outcomes that Jupiter may
impart on the world and individual souls. Jupiter, a
beacon of brilliance, emanates regal bearing, serene
composure, pure virtue, and scientific aptitude. As
penned in Jataka Parijata Chapter 2, Sloka 57,
Jupiter's intellect is exceptional, and it
embodies all that is virtuous, pure, and learned. On
April 21, 2023, at 9 pm EDT, Jupiter begins its
journey in sidereal Aries, and until May 1, 2024, at
5 am EDT, it will reside in this sign before
transitioning to Taurus.
Lalitha Donatella Riback eloquently expounds on Jupiter's placement in
Aries and the Nakshatras' influence on all the
12 Moon signs. To unveil how this transit will shape
your destiny, journey on.

Secrets of Grahas as Taught by Parashara
by Raman Suprajarama
In Vedic Astrology, the Grahas (or planets) are seen
as shining beacons of hope, guiding us towards our
true potential and a brighter future. These
celestial bodies play a vital role in our lives,
bringing with them opportunities for growth and
success. They have the power to influence our
wealth, relationships, health, and career, and the
positions of these Grahas at the time of our birth
hold the key to unlocking our full potential.
Each Graha represents unique qualities, energies,
and strengths, and their movements in the sky are
like gentle nudges, reminding us to stay on track
and pursue our dreams. These celestial bodies are
also associated with Karma, reminding us that every
action we take has consequences and that we have the
power to create a positive impact in our own lives
and in the lives of those around us. The Grahas have
the power to shape our destiny and guide us towards
a life filled with success and happiness.
In our cover story of the March 2023 issue of The
Astrological eMagazine, our Senior Editor, Raman
Suprajarama, delves into the third chapter of the
Brihat Parashara Horashastra, a seminal text

bodies of intrinsic essence and form that play a

This astrological phenomenon refers to a planetary
combination that signifies the potential for
confinement, either physically or mentally. It is

Saturn, and Mars in an individual's birth chart.
Through her expert analysis, Dr. Murthy sheds light
on the significance of Bandhana Yoga and its impact
on a person's life, providing readers with a
deeper and correct understanding of this powerful
astrological concept.
The last two Grahas of the Navagraha or 9 body set
are Rahu and Ketu. These two celestial bodies hold a
significant place in Vedic Astrology.
Represented as the two parts of a serpent, they are
believed to play a critical role in shaping an
individual's fate and future. Through his
extensive research and analysis, the author,
Sri Bibhuti Bhusan Pani, aims to
shed light on the significance of Rahu and Ketu in
astrology and their impact on the lives of notable
figures in history. He examines the charts of Lord
Krishna, Albert Einstein, Guru Nanak, and Swami
Vivekananda, and provides concrete examples of the
influence of Rahu and Ketu on an individual's
life. He highlights the unique energies, qualities,
and characteristics associated with these celestial
bodies and how they manifest in a person's
life.

light on criminal behaviour? Look no further!

astrologer, takes a closer look at the recent arrest
of Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and CEO of FTX and
Alameda Research. Bankman-Fried's case has made
headlines as one of the largest financial fraud
cases in American history. Krause uses
Bankman-Fried's horoscope to analyze the events
and how they played out according to his natal
chart, providing a unique and insightful perspective
on this noteworthy case.

Jyeshta Bhraatrusthana, holds a unique place in the
world of astrology. This house represents a
multitude of aspects in an individual's life,
including elder siblings, second marriages, gains,
vehicles, obstacles, sexual intercourse, and the
