Dear Friends,

On June 21st, we would all be able to witness an annular solar eclipse that will appear as a "ring of fire" in the sky. This phenomenon will be visible from India as well as from other parts of Asia, Africa, Europe, and Australia.

This annular solar eclipse will start off as a partial eclipse at 9:15am IST and will attain its maximum form at 12:12p IST. As per newspapers by 3:04pm, the annular solar eclipse will end but in actuality its malefic vibrational effects would only end around 16:32 (4:32pm).

So, avoid drinking or eating any food product which have been left exposed to these malefic vibrations.

Many of my friends have asked me to comment on this event for the benefit of others.

Firstly, we need to understand where this eclipse is happening. It’s happening in Ardra Nakshtra first pada. Ardra Nakshtra (Betelgeuse in Orion Constellation) is ruled by Rahu and the presiding deity is Rudra and it occupies Gemni Rasi. It’s a transformational nakshatra and denotes troubles, diseases, radical changes and causes Vata dosha especially lung diseases. COVID spread expanded around the globe especially when Rahu was in Ardra earlier this year.

Secondly, if you look closely at the Transit chart for 12:12:04 (HH:MM:SS) Hyderabad, using pushya-paksha ayanamsa, you can see that nearly all planets (except Shani and Guru) are influencing (directly or indirectly) the Gemini Rasi where this eclipse is being formed.

All this points to the following predictions:

1. June 20th is not an auspicious day for undertaking any long term relationships or contracts.

2. June 21st is a great day for undertaking

a. Spiritual activities and worship of God or Guru

b. Personal self-reflection and meditation

c. Initiating any spiritual activity at home

d. Good day for connecting with people for short duration

3. Overall, this solar eclipse would bring the following effects:

a. Death from battlefield

b. Danger for governance or people in position of power

c. Also challenges or time of radical transformation for people who work with their hands, do physical labor, are in the field of communication or education, who work with poisons, are in the medical field, engineers, analyst, politician, thieves, who work with electronics or trade in FMCG & agricultural products.

d. For people who are in travel, tourism, events and retailing it’s going to be a very dull period till September end. So, transform or pivot to a new approach.

e. Spike in cases of COVID pan India.

f. Rahu also denotes foreigners, so issues with foreigners or clients from other countries.

g. Increase in the propensity of people to work outside the confines of law to achieve their aims.

h. Be careful while communicating with your spouse, mother or elder sibling-in-laws. Moderation in speech and soft words need to be used with them till September. Avoid using sharp or forceful words at home otherwise it would cause disharmony.

For any specific reading, please contact me.

Prayer of well-being for all those who read this post. May they all be safe and protected. May they be guided by the divine light shining within. May they be ever joyful.

Warm Regards,

RJ

Dear Friends,

Another month of social distancing and another set of experiences to manage!

Every one of us is undergoing a testing time while trying to understand our place in this new normal.

Self-isolation gives us ample opportunity to work on our inner-space. It is desperately needed as the times are challenging and if we want to create a positive change in the world we see around us, we need to first raise a positive energy within us.

Below are few of the things we can do while working remotely and juggling our work-life balance:

• Make time for physical exercises.

• Do some stretches during work-breaks.

• Practice breathing exercises or some form of pranayama. The focus on breath keeps you grounded in the present moment and frees you from the memories of the past & anxieties for the future.

• Eat healthy. Avoid intoxicants and non-vegetarian diet.

• Chant Gayatri Mantra for 21 times, at least once a day. It would keep you in high spirits and protect you from negativity.

• Connect with people you care about and who care for you. Human connect in moderation keeps us sane.

• Do something creative. Enjoy your hobbies or learn new things.

• Finally, smile and be thankful for what you have.

My prayers for all of you.

May that dazzling light that shines within our hearts, protect and guide all of us to a better future.

Warm Regards,

RJ

Also, wanted to share the text which I wrote on 6th April 2020, but somehow could not post it due to various issues I was facing both on professional and personal front during the lockdown.

Retrospectively as mentioned below in the text, lots of things have aligned currently in the world we see around us:

6th April 2020

Dear friends,

Last few months have brought forth unique experiences in our lives. We all are currently under a lockdown - do u wonder why?

Astrological insight predicts that by September situation would start improving but business wise things would stabilize next year only. Chaos and uncertainty would impact everybody.

The silver lining is that, next year post April, there would be an explosive growth in many fields. A drastic change is expected in energy of the world.

Ketu as a shadow planet, whenever passes over Mula nakshatra in Sagittarius, it creates a crisis or sudden drastic change in the world around us, and this gets pronounced due to Rahu being placed in Ardra Nakshatra in Gemni. All the other major planets give their light and flavor to this axis of Ketu and Rahu.

In our current scenario, the crisis became a pandemic due to transit of Jupiter and Mars one by one with Ketu in Mula Nakshatra & Rahu in Ardra brings about transformation with suffering. Rahu in Ardra, also causes weak lungs, colds, flu and dry coughs as there is a tendency towards tuberculosis. Till the time Rahu and Ketu do not move from their positions solutions for this pandemic would not materialize in the physical world.

June to September there is another chance of resurgence in spread of this disease but after September its curve would go down slowly. But during this period war like situations and food shortage is too expected.

Overall, 2020 till 2022 are bit troublesome years for all of us. Lots of changes in the environment we live as well as transformation in our thinking. These two and half years would force all of us to re-evaluate our priorities. So, be fluid & be ready for changes.

But the good news is that, these two and half years would also give growth in new technologies, new ventures, politics, nationalism, mass influencing, Information Technology, transportation, any venture which benefits the masses, quick buying & selling, dealing in iron or heavy metals, environmental friendly technology and thinking etc.

Also, it would be a great period for spiritual endeavors, self-exploration, meditation and yoga, spiritual travel and retreats, unorthodox expression of spirituality, wandering souls etc.

In case someone wants to know specifically about their own chart, please connect with me.

My prayers for you and your near & dear ones. May that eternal love that shines brightly within our hearts, protect and guide all of us.



Warm regards,

RJ

Dear Friends,

On 24th January Saturn the Lord of Time 🕒 and Justice ⚖, would transit into the house of Capricorn.

It's a very powerful transit as Saturn takes nearly two and half years to transit a house and He would be moving into His own house of Capricorn this time.

For those who have their Moon in the House of Aquarius, it would be the commencement of Sade Sati; Seven and half years of Lord Shani's reign of their destiny.

What to do this year?
In a way 2020, can be called the year ruled by Lord Shani. So, first we need to understand the energy of Lord Shani.

Lord Shani has black body, a bit like very deep dark blue which looks blackish and with yellow eyes. His radiation is very malefic for weak people, it effects their nerves directly. He is awake and all-seeing, a judge, a silent watcher and just. To put it simply, imagine an old teacher who is strict and with dark skin tone, thin physically, dry skin and a strong voice which brings out fear in you as you cannot handle his energy.

So, next question is how to handle this kind of energy?

Well, simply put you cannot. But you can moderate it by generating a different kind of energy.

You can pray to Lord Shiva, who is Guru of Lord Shani and who originally allocated the authority which Lord Shani implements.

You can pray to an avatar of Lord Shiva, for example: Hanumanji Or Shirdi Baba or your Guru.

You can donate black clothes which you have worn to poor people. Give alms or food to poor and old people.

Visit Shani Temple and do prescribed pooja every Saturday. This pooja is especially good in Brahm Moortham (3:30am till 4:30am approx), or at the joining of time (6am, 12noon and 6pm).

Alternatively, you can do meditation regularly for atleast 30min at a stretch. Especially, silent meditation with focus on breath.

Finally, based on your astrological chart you can implement some remedies. Please consult an astrologer for this.

In conclusion, I can say with confidence that this year is good for those who have a positive Shani in their astrological chart. For others a bit of troubles would come their way especially health issues related to nerves, blood flow, joint pains and income generation.

Tip: To handle Saturn's energy you would need to generate energy of Love this year... Love is white in color, flows like melted ice-cream and very cooling to the body, it immediately makes you smile and radiate joy.

"If you can't experience it, if others can't experience it, it must be imagination."

Today is Ekadashi (11th day from Full Moon), and today is especially good for those who worship Lord Vishnu. They can keep a whole day fast which they can break next day early morning. Praying to Lord Vishnu is especially beneficial today.

As we are talking about Lord Vishnu, we cannot miss out on discussing about His consort Mother Lakshmi.

Over the years, when people generally consult me it's predominantly either in regards to money matters or relationships. The common query from people is about how to improve their cash flow.

Well, based on my personal experience and my own chart, I can say confidently that we as people don't have a correct understanding and relationship with money.

Money is energy. We should first understand it in terms of energy. Please remember these 3 points:

Energy should be attracted.

Energy should be stored properly and for a stipulated time as natural state of this energy is movement.

Energy should not be wasted nor dispersed easily.

How to attract wealth?

We should focus more on attracting long term wealth than quick cash. Mother Lakshmi is loving, bright, moves constantly and Her aura radiation is golden in color.

Keep a shiny golden color piece of cloth always in your purse. Get this cloth blessed at any Lakshmi Temple on a Friday. Just make sure it is not a bad day as per panchang of that day. Any local priest would guide you on that.

Secondly,
Every day if you can chant (minimum 3 times in a sitting) this gayatri, it would slowly initiate wealth attraction as well kick start opportunities for generating wealth.

॥ Shri Lakshmi Gayatri Mantra ॥

ॐ श्री महालक्ष्म्यै च विद्महे विष्णु पत्न्यै च धीमहि
तन्नो लक्ष्मी प्रचोदयात् ॐ॥

Finally,
Keep a Ganesh-Lakshmi Yantra in your place of worship ( Pooja Sthaan) .

How to store Mother Lakshmi energy?

Talk less, eat slowly, make decisions not immediately but with afterthought, be humble with elders, immediate family and loved ones. Keep your surroundings clean and bright. Keep something heavy like a bed or table in south-western part of your house/office and use it regularly.

Give food or clothing to poor and animals. If possible keep a dog at home. Be moderate, as Mother Lakshmi moves in a balanced rhythm, so avoid excess of speech, food and activity.

Keep bit of money as per your capacity, it can even be gold or silver coins, in a red cloth with a pinch of yellow uncooked rice (haldi or chandan colored) and get it blessed on Wednesday from a Shiva temple. Avoid going to temple on Wednesday between ‪12 noon till 1:30pm‬, as it would be Rahu kalam. Keep this blessed 'potli' in your cupboard or safe.

In conclusion, if you do the above mentioned remedies with a loving heart, a change would happen in your understanding of your relationship with money and I pray, constant influx of gracious blessings of Mother Lakshmi.

Note: In your astrological chart, if Ketu is placed in second, tenth or eleventh house, then it would create issues/blockages in generating wealth constantly, especially through your own efforts.

Please consult an astrologer for a specific remedy as per your astrological chart.

Today is , an important day in our cultural & astrological calendar.

, this is the day when Sun moves into the house of Capricorn (Makar in Sanskrit) from house of Sagittarius. Movement of Sun into a House is known as ‘Sankranti’ and thus we call it ‘Makar Sankranti’ – Movement of Sun into Capricorn.

Why is it important?

This day Sun moves to sign of Capricorn, a house ruled by Saturn. Planetary relationship between Sun and Saturn is naturally inimical as per Vedic Astrology. But surprisingly, we celebrate this movement as very important event. As this is the day when Sun moves into his son Shani Ji’s house in Capricorn happily from Sagittarius, forgiving past infractions and displeasure's, if any he had with Shani Ji. 🙂

In South India, Pongal is celebrated with fervor and joyful celebration. Pan-India this day has been considered as a harvest festival under many regional names & celebrated throughout India for past hundreds of years. It’s truly a uniting day.

This day also marks the commencement of Northern movement of Sun (Uttarayana) and marking the end of the month with the winter solstice.

The Surya Siddhanta defines Uttarayana as the period between the Makara Sankranti (which currently occurs around January 14) and Karka Sankranti (which currently occurs around ‪July 16‬).

It’s considered auspicious to start anything new or to buy something new during Uttarayana period. But this thumb rule, needs to be tempered with an eye on individual horoscope and panchang of specific dates.

When do we celebrate it this year?

Normally, the date of January 14th as per Gregorian Calendar is celebrated as Makar Sankranti day, but this year Sun would enter Capricorn ‪after 2am on 15th‬ ‪January 2020‬.

As per the solar calendar, after one year, the Sun comes to the same location 20 minutes late every year, which means the Sun needs 1 day extra after every 72 years in the sky. That's the reason why Makar Sankranti sometimes shifts ‪from 14 January to 15 January‬.

What to do on this auspicious day?

*Surya Pooja done on this day is very auspicious and gives powerful effects. Chanting or listening of Aditya Hridayam Stotram is especially beneficial for you and your family.

*Traditionally, sesame seeds (Til), jaggery & clarified butter (Ghee) are to be consumed on this day.

*Bath in Ganges or with Ganga Jal is very beneficial spiritually. You can also chant Gayatri Mantra while taking bath, to clean not just your body, but mind also.

*Any spiritual endeavour on this day would give multi-fold benefits.

*Giving (Daan) of blankets and food to needy is extremely beneficial today.

*A good day to wear new clothes, pray to God, and make offerings of traditional food to ancestors who have died.

In conclusion, it’s an auspicious day and great for building bridges in relationships, for spiritual endeavours, for praying & giving water to Sun and your Guru.

And it marks the end of winter season and commencement of movement from darkness of winter towards light of spring.

Hope you all have a joyful and auspicious Makar Sankranti day !🙏🏻

I am



This stotram (hymn) is very helpful in ensuring clarity of mind, fearlessness, removing fatigue of body & mind, protection from negative energies & evil eye, improved health and helps in cultivating prosperity in your home.

This amazing stotram is dedicated to Āditya or Sūrya (the Sun God) found in the Yuddha Kānda of 's Rāmāyana. It was recited by the sage Agastya to Rāma on the battlefield before fighting the demon king Rāvaṇa. In it, teaches , who is fatigued after the long battle with various warriors of , the procedure of worshiping Āditya for strength to defeat the enemy.

It would be bit long to translate the whole stotram and explain its significance in this post. I also want to keep my regular posts bit short & concise. In case enough people are interested & request, maybe in the future, I can do a more detailed post dedicated to this stotram.

You can search online for the history regarding the genesis of this stotram. You can also listen to it’s rendition done by various artists on YouTube.

As a personal preference, I like to listen to MS ’s rendition of this awesome stotram. You can choose any rendition which resonates with you.

You have to chant or listen to this stotram on at the time of sunrise or during ‘Abhijeet Kaalam’ (which around 12pm noon). But avoid listening to or chanting this stotram in the evening or night.

From personal experience, I can tell you that you would not be able to sleep! As the effulgence resulting from chanting this stotram, would light up your inner mind-space (chittākāsha). Foolishly at that time, I had thought, that this was better than drinking any energy drink (like Red Bull etc) 😆, but it was very troublesome, so avoid chanting this stotram post sun-set.

The entire rendition of this stotram would just take 15 minutes, and I’m sure we all can easily take out 15 minutes on a Sunday, for the well-being of ourselves and our family.

***Always drink 3 sips of ganga-jal or water after listening or chanting this stotram. For some people who have a powerful sun in their kundali (whether positively or negatively positioned) drinking 3 sips of water is mandatory afterwards. Please don’t forget this activity.

Want an EXTRA dose of LUCK?
Who doesn’t 😀

So, here’s the Simplest chant for and with some understanding how it’s works for you! The understanding can really make it realise faster 👍🏻

ॐ गंगणपतये नम:

Om Gam Ganapataye Namah!

Now, Why do we invoke Om & Lord Ganesha whenever we start anything or initiate a new activity?

Why do we invoke Lord Ganesha whenever we start a homa/yagna, any pooja or chant?

Om as a sound and symbology is akin to an infinite reservoir of eternal & auspicious energy. We tap into it as a preparation, and then invoke Lord Ganesha as the first derivation of that infinite, eternal and auspicious energy.

Lord Ganesha signifies the "Pratham Tattva" - the first essence which arises whenever anything is created in this physical plane.

To put it simply, Om is the energy reservoir and Lord Ganesha is the connector thru which you can connect to receive energy from this reservoir.

As the energy reservoir and connector are of same essence, it’s easy to initiate this connection. For example, molten iron can be easily poured using an iron crucible but a plastic crucible would melt immediately.

For ensuring a success in any endeavor or journey, please remember to invoke & .


And the Disclaimer: Lord Ganesha is also epitome of all that is intelligent, good & ethical, so if you invoke him before initiating a mischief or a non-ethical activity, obstacles in your path would grow!

Remember to chant the for minimum of 3 times, signifying it's applicability to physical, mental and spiritual planes.

My friends,

As we embark once again into a new chapter of our lives; a new adventure, a new journey becomes synonymous with a new year.

2020 becomes a starting point from where using this platform, I shall share my experiences, my thoughts and my way of looking at this mysterious and wonderful universe around us.

Due to lack of words, Energy Realignment and Visual Astrology is how I would describe what I offer as my services. The main goal of both is Experiential Awareness, which is to make a soul be aware and realize that the truth is all around. We are surrounded by love, we live in love and finally at our journey's end merge into love...and this is the eternal truth we need to experience, see with our own eyes.

Over the coming days, I would share content on various topics under this umbrella of experiential awareness and how we can imbibe this awareness in our daily lives and be free from stress, negative thoughts and fear. And at the same time have a positive, energetic and holistic outlook in life.

My humble regards to all those who have taught me and nourished me in this life journey. No person stand alone, similarly I would not be who I am if my 'teachers' had not bestowed their grace and love on me.

My heartfelt gratefulness towards all my 'teachers' and especially my Guru.

गुरुः ब्रह्मा :

गुरुर विष्णु :

गुरुर देवो महेश्वरः :
