Significance of Diwali in Mundane Astrology

[Guest guest]

Dear Sundeep,

 

Sun's degree on Diwali can vary drastically. Diwali

does not come around the same date. Instead, it

always comes on the same tithi (Aswayuja amavasya).

 

Astrologically, the end of Aswayuja amavasya (i.e.

exact conjunction of Sun and Moon in Libra - the

sign of business in the natural zodiac) is very

significant. It has a use in mundane astrology. A

chart cast at this conjunction is actually called

the financial new year chart.

 

In fact, a section of India celebrates new year

on Diwali.

 

I was supposed to speak on "stock market prediction

using financial new year chart" at SJC-USA east

coast seminar on Aug 31, 2003. But the topic was

changed at the last hour to "Personal Finances with

Kashinatha Hora".

 

At the end of this mail, I am pasting an extract

from the document I prepared on financial new year

charts. I hope it helps you.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha

New Year Charts

 

Different variations of solar and lunar calendars are used in

different parts of India. Based on the

calendar used, the New Year celebrated is different. Accordingly, the

New Year chart cast by

astrologers is also different in different parts of India.

 

Some people use the solar calendar based on Sun's motion. Some people

use the lunar calendar

based on tithis. Those who use the solar calendar normally celebrate

the New Year when Sun

enters Aries. However, a minority celebrates the New Year when Sun

enters Capricorn, the sign

that symbolizes Kali Yuga.

 

There are a lot of traditions in India and in other eastern cultures,

which employ the lunar

calendar. Most of them celebrate the New Year at the time of Sun-Moon

conjunction in some

sign or the other. These calendars are called Amaanta calendars. The

most popular Amaanta

calendar of India uses Sun-Moon conjunction in Pisces. There are

other variations of the lunar

calendar, wherein the New Year is celebrated when Sun and Moon are in

exact samasaptaka.

This is called Suklanta. In a calendar that is popular in some parts

of India, the New Year chart is

cast when Sun in Aries and Moon in Libra are in exact samasaptaka.

 

One may take the view that many of these charts are bogus and only

one of them is right.

However, learned scholars may want to consider the possibility of all

of them being right and

each New Year chart being appropriate for focussing on a particular

type of events.

For example, Sun shows the soul and Moon shows the mind. The 7th from

Moon shows the

desires of the mind. When Sun and Moon are in samasaptaka, soul is

stationed in the house of

desires of the mind. Thus, Suklanta New Year charts are appropriate

for timing spiritual matters.

On the contrary, Sun-Moon conjunction charts are appropriate for

timing materialistic events.

It must be emphasized that all the calendars used in different parts

of India have their own

purposes. The New Year chart cast based on each calendar has a use of

its own. In this paper, we

will consider a New Year chart that is not very common among

astrologers.

 

It may be noted that some parts of India, where business is strong,

celebrate the New Year on

Deepavali (Diwali) and pray to Goddess Lakshmi then. It must be noted

that Libra is the natural

sign of business and Sun-Moon conjunction in Libra is important for

business. This New Year

chart is used for timing events related to business and national

finances.

 

Financial New Year Chart

 

Financial New Year Chart (FNYC) of a nation for a given year is cast

at its capital when Sun and

Moon conjoin in Libra. The chart will be active until the next Sun-

Moon conjunction in Libra.

This chart can be used to time financial matters in the nation during

the year. As stock market is

a strong indicator of financial matters these days, we will try to

time stock market trends using

this chart.

 

For example, let us take 2001-2002 for United States of America. Sun

and Moon conjoined at

18 deg 22' in Libra on November 15, 2001 at 1:40:36 am (EST). One can

cast a chart at this time at

Washington DC and make predictions related to business within USA

during the next one year.

The chart is shown in Figure 1. Some may consider it more appropriate

to cast a chart at New

York city, as it is the financial capital of the nation. However, the

issue will be left to future

researchers and we will take the nation's capital only.

 

Compressed Vimsottari Dasa

 

After casting the FNYC, one can find compressed Vimsottari dasa and

use it for timing the

fluctuations in stock market. For example, the length of the year

represented by the example

chart is about 355 days. We can compress 120 years of Vimsottari dasa

to 355 days.

 

However, there is a small technicality that affects the way the

compression is carried out. As this

is a lunar calendar based chart, tithi or Sun-Moon angle differential

is the natural measure of

time during the year. In other words, we can look at the length of

the year as 360 tithis rather

than 355 civil days. Compressing 120 years of Vimsottari dasa to 360

tithis linearly, we see that

each year is compressed to 3 tithis. Thus, Sun dasa is for 18 tithis,

Moon dasa is 30 tithis, Mars

dasa is for 21 tithis and so on.

 

One can interpret Vimsottari dasa using standard principles. One

factor that should be paid extra

attention is Ishta and Kashta phalas of the planets. Apart from

planetary placement, strengths,

aspects etc, these seem to be playing a very important role.

 

In addition to interpreting dasas and antardasas, one can also use

the three-parts rule for seeing

the trends within dasas. In the case of benefic planets, the first

one-third of the dasa gives the

results of its ownerships and placement. The middle one-third of the

dasa gives the results of

strengths of the planet, like exaltation, debilitation, disposition

in a friendly sign etc. The last

 

one-third of the dasa gives the

results of the aspects of the planet and aspects on it. In the case

of malefic planets, the results of

the first two one-thirds are reversed compared to benefic planets.

 

For example, yogakaraka Mars is exalted in the example chart. This is

favorable and hence the

first one-third of Mars dasa can be expected to be very good. This

falls in July 21-28, 2002. Dow

Jones rose by 1,000 points in those 7-8 days! However, Mars is placed

in the 8th house in Kashinatha

hora chart and hence the second one-third (July 28-Aug 4, 2002) saw

Dow Jones fall. The rest of the

paper will explain the stock market trends in a two year period using

compressed Vimsottari dasa

and the three parts rule.
