Guest guest Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 Hi All I am intending to post on this GJLIST once a month both, the moon and the astro calendars. It is very useful for the astrologer and people to know the daily position of the moon and the planets to study their effects on our lives and other horoscopes as well. Here is a posting of the moon calendar for the February 2002. This introduction/guide is mainly for newcomers for every month. The calculations are based on Lahiris ayanamsa. The ENDING TIMES are in GMT (you have to adjust it to your official time) for the 3 energies is approximated within 5 minutes on either side. This means that to be on the safe side, give a margin of 5 minutes before and after the times given here. The ending time is given for the tithis or days of the moon. When the moon ends each constellation and when the moon ends each sign is also given. In this way we can see when the moon days end and the next moon day starts. When the Moon ends the travel in one naksatra and starts the next. And when the moon ends travelling in a sign and starts the next sign. Beside the ending times for the moon days you can see if that energy is generally good = G or bad = X For example G/X means that up to the time given the energy is good and after that time becomes negative in general. With my experience i only need the required basic data to understand the calendar. But if i want to attract other people to Jyotish, they require a simple language. After many years of testing i think that most of the vedic astrology students are happy with this format which i give in a calendar format to those wanting, for a better appreciation. You could pate this monthly data on a calendar format if you so wish but it takes about 15 minutes to do so, but it looks very nice on the wall. Here you will see the raw info in GMT. The ending times for every one of the 3 factors is given in GMT. The G means that until the given time (G/) the factor is bad or after the time (/G). The "G" means that until or after (/G) the ending time given the moon day is good. For clarity and practicality of the students i put an "X" beside the end of the moon days to indicate a bad moon day and i put a "G" to indicate a Good moon day. There are 9 TB or Tara Balas = strength of your star, and of those, TB 1, 5, 7 or 3 in increasing proportion are bad. TB 1 is mild and TB 3 is the worst. The rest of the TB are good. There are 12 CB or chandra balas = strength of your moon sign. When the moon is in a sign that from your moon sign is 6,8, or 12, it is bad in increasing proportion. 6 = debts, obstacles or enemies. 8 = death or the end of things and 12 = losses or falls. However, those days can be very good for meditation. The rest of the CB are ok. Please notice that this moon calendar give 3 basic moon energies. First we have the tithi or moon day. LD = light moon day and DD= dark day. Second, we have the Moon leaving a constellation © and there are 27 constellations, which are a certain TB for your own star. Third, we have the Moon in a sign or leaving a sign and entering the next and determining the CB for your natal moon sign. Notice as well that some days can have the ending of 2 moon days or 2 constellations. Some other days will not see the end of a moon say or constellation, this is due to the speed of the moon on those days. Days of the moon The first energy indicated in this calendar is the Moon day. When the sun and moon are together, it is called the new moon and when they are opposite to each other or at 180° from each other, it is the end of the 15th DL day light moon day or the end of the full moon. There are 15 moon light days from the new moon to the full moon or when the moon is increasing. And there are 15 DD dark days of the moon from the full moon to the new moon or when the moon is decreasing. Every time when the moon separates from the sun by 12 degrees of arc, there is the ending time of a particular moon day. Good moon days to start a new activity are 1,2,3,5,7,10,11,13 and 15 in increasing proportion. This means that the 1st moon day will be relatively mild and the 15th will be the best. But check out from muhurta books when studying different activities because this guidelines are general. Bad moon days will be the 4,6,8,9,12,and 14 in increasing proportion. This means that the 4th moon day is mild and the 14th is the worst. I try to avoid starting new and important activities or to do important readings on the 14th moon day. This does not means that i remain idle on bad days, routine jobs or activities that i have already started are ok. And in anyway, your own personal experience will tell you how to follow the moon calendar. By looking at the calendar you will see which days bring you either good or bad vibrations. In my humble experience, this calendar is a basic tool to your own moon sign and moon constellation and it is a must to students of jyotish and a good help. As an astrologer you are very likely to understand this calendar and how to use it. For newcomers, non-astrologers or customers, you as an astrologer can advise and guide accordingly. This moon calendar is the basis for many daily activities and events happening around. For example, a customer may feel depressed each time when the moon crosses the 6th, 8th or 12th houses. >From the astro calendar we will see when the moon is conjunction with Rahu or Saturn, and experience will tell you that on those days some sensitive people may feel either afraid or depressed, mainly when they are under a negative planetary period or they have in their chart those planetary configurations. You can read more in the astro calendar. Some people may understand this explanation but others may need a different explanation. I am learning to explain jyotish to different mentalities so please do not hesitate if you get stuck, it may be the way that i explain things. Any questions are welcome. Yours in the service of jyotish. Natabara Das ****** In western astrology we hear "what is your sun sign?". This refers to western astrology and to the tropical sky. This sky is an imaginary line across the sky on earth that goes from the tropic of Capricorn to the tropic of Cancer passing at the equator and viceverse from the tropic of Cancer to the tropic of Capricorn. So when the sun is at the equator on the 20 or 21 or 23 March we say that it is the beginning of the spring or that the sun is entering tropical Aries. 3 months later the sun will be entering cancer or when the sun reaches the tropic of Cancer. From here the sun will go south reaching tropical Libra 3 months later and the tropic of Capricorn 3 months later before starting its journey northwards. All this is western astrology. Mayas used to build 3 pyramids or 3 landmarks to see when the sun rised above them to see the beginning of planting or fishing or the beginning of the autumn to prepare for the harvest or the cold season. Here we are following vedic astrology or sidereal astrology which is more precise and has more tools for research and predictions. Vedic astrology follows the planets across the sidereal sky or the sky as it is seen at night. In some astronomical magazines they may say that Saturn is now in Gemini but at night we can see the sky and see that Saturn is still in Taurus. How is it that the beautifull Aldebaran is in Gemini in tropical astrology-astronomy when Aldebaran has been a landmark for Taurus for thousands of years? In India or vedic astrology, we can hear "what is your janma rasi and your janma naksatra. Janma = birth, rasi = your horoscope or sign where you have your moon at birth, and naksatra = constellation. There are 12 signs of the zodiac as you know which are represented within an square divided in 12 areas, segments or regions. In vedic architecture, the square is the perfect figure in the universe. There are 3 main styles in India to represent the horoscope. I prefer the North Indian style but i can read as well the South Indian style or the Bengal style. But, this is just a matter of preference. >From the horoscope North Indian style, you can see that the rising sign or ascendant is always represented at the middle top of the graphic and in the south indian style, it is represented with some letters like LAG for lagna or Cap for Capricorn lagna or with 10, the number for Capricorn. The 2nd house is ruled by the next sign which is Aquarius. By following the rest of the signs and giving one sign per house you will arrive at the 12th sector or 12th house wich should be the previous sign to your rising sign. In your case, it should be Sagittarius. Every astrologer on this list is used to the order of the signs and their own chart. However, if there is any questions just ask, i do not bite. For a reading of transits you can follow your moon sign as a priority or your rising sign as well. But the moon sign is a priority when reading the transits. So, in your case your chart will have Capricorn as the 1st house and the second house will be ruled by the next sign of Aquarius. So your moon chart or chandra lagna will look like this: 1st house = Capricorn 2 = Aqu 3 = Pis 4 = Ari 5 = Tau 6 = Gem 7 = Can 8 = Leo 9 = Vir 10 = Lib 11 = Sco 12 = Sag CB or Chandra Balas Beside the ending time for the moon in Capricorn you are suppose to write CB 1 to indicate your chandra bala 1 and do so with the rest of your moon houses, CB 2, CB 3 etc until CB 12. When you consult the moon calendar, you can see when the moon is in Libra. On those days (about 60 hours), the moon will be in transit on Libra or your 10th Moon sign or 10th house from the your moon or CB 10. Plese notice that the moon takes about 60 hours to cross one sign and therefore in some days the moon will not end any sign and you may see only the sign where the moon is on that day. For example, Ar = Aries, Ta = Taurus and so on. Nevertheless, beside those letters, you are supposed to put your CB 1, CB 2 etc, to indicate to you on the calendar, which Chandra bala the moon has on that particular day. Chandra Bala or CB is the strenght (bala) of your moon (Chandra) sign. So you have 12 chandra balas. When the moon is in CB 1, the moon is starting a new cycle for you and is bringing new energies to you. CB 2. The moon in transit across your moon house 2, indicates things related to family, assets etc. Indications of your 2nd house. CB 3. This transit is connected to communications, short travels etc. CB 4. Here the moon will focus on home affairs, education, mother, mind etc CB 5. This sector is related to higher instructions, intentions, diplomacy, love, children, previous life, games, etc CB 6. Obstacles, enemies or illnesses are focus here by the moon. CB 7. Partners, marriage etc are more prominent. CB 8. Unexpected results, inheritances, the end of things, death etc are more prominent. CB 9. When the moon comes to this house, Guru, good luck, religion, belief system, father etc will be more prominent. CB 10. Here, karma, vocation, profession etc is more prominent. CB11. When the moon comes to this house, friends, elder siblings, earnins, income will be more prominent. CB 12. The moon in transit over this house is likely to indicate losses, or tendencies for freedom, liberation or expenditure. Notice that the Moon in CB 6, 8 or 12 indicate a bad transit for you. This is because Chandra bala 6 indicates struggles, CB 8 indicates death and CB 12 indicates losses or falls. So while in transit the CB 6,8, or 12 in increasing proportion will be bad for some activities although good for others like meditation, charity etc. Increasing proportion means that the CB 6 is relatively mild and the CB12 is the hardest. As astrologer you can read like this but remember that a planet in those houses will alter the effects of the moon on the individual. You should use your knowledge, experience and intuition when assesing a reading. How to use the moon calendar? By observing when customers get in touch, we can see a pattern. Mostly the customers ring or get in thouch after having felt the effects of the moon in their bad houses, or when there is a good or bad transit for you. Experience will tell you. I have been using this calendar since perhaps 1978 when i used to calculate it, following the rules given by Raman in his book Muhurtha and with the help of a small calculator. Later on, a computer wizard and my first student made a computer programe to get the calendar, calculate horoscopes and gave me a computer Vic 20 in 1982. All that made my astrology life more easy. Tara Bala. Regarding the Tara bala. An example. Suppose that your moon naksatra is Uttarashada or constellation 21 which is ruled by the sun. Lets see now the Naksatras. There are 27 naksatras or constellations and they are divided into 3 groups ruled by a planet. 1 10 19 Ketu 2 11 20 venus 3 12 21 Sun 4 13 22 Moon 5 14 23 Mars 6 15 24 Rahu 7 16 25 Jupiter 8 17 26 Saturn 9 18 27 Mercury Notice that your moon constellation is 21 or Uttarashada which is ruled by the sun. This is why we say that you were born under the main period or dasa of the sun. Notice that constellations 3, 12 (2+1=3) and 21 (2+1=3) are ruled by the sun and they are your Tara Bala 1. You can follow the Moon calendar and see when the Moon is in C1 or Constellation 21. Beside the ending time or when the moon leaves that particular constellation and starts the next constellation you should write TB1 for Tara Bala 1. The next constellation 22 is your TB 2, next is TB 3. This means that constellations 9, 18 or 27 will be you TB 7 and C1, C10 or C19 are your TB 8 and so on until you fill C5, C14, or C23 as your TB 3. The effects of the tara balas are more or less like this: TB1= When the moon comes to a constellation which is TB1, we have many things in our head that we get the tendencies to be space out or lacking in concentration to the point that we become prone to accidents. More alert is needed in those days. TB2= During this tara bala, activities started here, have the tendency to increase our fortunes. TB3= This TB is the worst and much care has to be put on. A friend of mine said that during this TB, his health was more weak and when old he did not go out or talk to avoid health deterioration. He lived to see 93. TB4= This is a good TB bringing positive results to activities started here. TB5= A bad TB and new activities should not be started here. TB6= A good TB. TB7= A bad TB. TB8= Increases good luck because it is a friendly constellation. TB9= Increases good luck because it is a friendly constellation. Routine activities or activities already started are ok. But when starting new activities, try to avoid bad TB. Bad TB in increasing proportion are TB1, 5 7 and 3. TB1 is the mildest and TB3 is the worst. I hope that this clarifies the use of the moon calendar otherwise question are welcome. The moon calendar is very useful. Although i can follow this calendar as seen on the list, for my students and customers i provide the calendar in a calendar format as provided by print Artist. It takes me upto 1 hour to adjust the 12 months according to moon sign and moon naksatra but the result is that a calendar can be seen clearly and it has a lot of pages for guidance and explanation if they get stuck. In my own life, i always put on the wall the monthly moon calendar and astro calendar and they are very useful to myself or when people come for astro readings. To me the calendar is very practical to follow or see at a glance. ****** This moon calendar is based as a matter of example on someone having the Moon sign in Cancer and in the constellation of Pushya (8th on the list of constellations). For other signs you have to adjust it accordingly or get in touch with me for advise. I can not post here the 36 different calendars needed. We have 12 signs of the zociac, each one having 3 naksatras or constellations. Therefore, there are 36 (12 X 3 = 36) different moon calendars. This means that your moon calendar can be shared by only 1 in 36 people or by those that have a similar moon sign and moon constellation. Then again, this moon calendar is calculated for GMT, and other time zones in the world (there are 24 of them) have to either add or substract the times given here. There are almost 600 members in this GJLIST, therefore 600 / 36 = 16. This means that following the law of probabilities, we must have here some 16 members having the moon in Cancer and moon in Pushya. For them, this calendar has been calculated but according to GMT. Perhaps with the demand, later on Das may be inspired to offer this format in his GJ astro-computer programe and in that way by just pressing few buttons you could have it done according to your location.
