I do not see any tremendous recovery in real estate in 2009, although Saturn entering Virgo in September 2009 will then be in the US chart's 10th house, fully aspecting both the 4th house of real estate and the 7th house (which, being 4th from the 4th, is a secondary real estate house).

Yogas trump house analysis. They give rise to the preeminent themes of life. They influence the level of attainment in arenas such as knowledge and wisdom, wealth, spiritual power, governmental leadership, musical skill, etc. Certain yogas may also be indicative of other qualities such as strength of moral character (or lack thereof). > > > > > > > > > > When assessing yogas, it is also important to assess the strength of the lagna and any ties it may have to existent yogas. The stronger the lagna and the more the yogas are tied to it, the greater the person's capacity to utilize them. > > > > > > > > > > Yogas are like a home and its furniture: they provide a structural framework in which a life will operate. Like furniture, yogas are not created equally. If a yoga were an armoire, for example, well, armoires range in quality from a particle board self-assembly unit from Wal-mart to a perfectly preserved antique made of rare wood by an exceptional furniture maker. So, to simply remark that a person has an armoire reveals almost nothing except that they at least own a piece of furniture. If one discovers that the armoire is a priceless antique, the armoire starts to become a piece of furniture worth talking about. And just as a single priceless antique in someone's home is unlikely to arouse much talk, but a house full of priceless antiques becomes noteworthy, a single yoga is unlikely to elevate a life to an exceptional level. But a horoscope full of good yogas, in decent condition, will elevate that life, provided there is not a relevant yoga bhanga present. > > > > > > > > > > With those caveats, one of the premier yogas of wealth is the Lakshmi Yoga. Shastra offers two definitions of this yoga. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra states the yoga is formed when the ninth lord occupies a Kendra in its own, exaltation or mulatrikona rashi and the first lord is strong. This yoga cannot be formed in Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn or Pisces ascendants. This form of Lakshmi Yoga will be considered in a subsequent article. > > > > > > > > > > The second form of Lakshmi Yoga is defined in Phaladeepika as the ninth lord and Venus in kendras or konas in their own or exaltation rashis. This yoga can be formed in any ascendant. Some astrologers include Venus in the second in its own sign or exaltation for this yoga since the second is a money house. > > > > > > > > > > The yoga is described: " Will always enjoy the company of young and amiable women, be free from ailments, wealthy, sharp, blessed by the goddess Lakshmi, and protector of his people. He will have the best of transport, like horses, elephants and palanquins. As ruler, he will be the most pleasing to all his subjects and liberal in his gifts. " > > > > > > > > > > Lakshmi yoga is not the only wealth yoga and one will not find it in all wealthy horoscopes; however, its presence is a strong indicator of luck and prosperity because it is an extremely rare yoga. A refined analysis of the yoga can give some clues as to the level of prosperity it may bring. Below are five example charts with comments. > > > > > > > > > > View the charts online at: http://jyotish. ws/materials/ chartR.html > > > > > > > > > > Christophe Auguin > > > > > Auguin is the poorest of our Lakshmi Yoga contenders. He is one of the world's best sailors and has won multiple sailing prizes. Unfortunately, sailing prizes tend to be smallish, only thousands of dollars. His chosen vocation is teaching, which is not a giant moneymaker either. However, one indication of Lakshmi yoga that does hold true for him is that of " best vehicle. " He asked for and received a boat especially built for him in which he won two around-the-world races. His Lakshmi yoga is weak for a number of reasons. First of all, it is formed by only a single planet because Venus is the ninth lord for Aquarius ascendant. Secondly, Venus does not participate in any other yogas, and while the chart does contain some other nice dhana yogas in the tenth house, they are not tied to the lagna lord who is Saturn and who is also all by himself. And lastly, Aquarius people often do not successfully orient around money because Jupiter is the lord of two money houses, the second and the eleventh, and Jupiter prefers wisdom to money. > > > > > > > > > > Eddie Arcaro > > > > > Eddie Arcaro was America's richest jockey. He rode to victory 4,779 times with winnings totaling over 30 million dollars. He parlayed those winnings into good investments, successful oil speculation and part of a saddle business. His net worth was probably in the neighborhood of 100 million dollars. His Lakshmi Yoga is beautifully formed with exalted Venus and swa Jupiter in the ninth house. Plus, his lagna lord Moon is in the second house, making a good dhana yoga opposite Sun in the eighth. However, the blight on both these yogas that capped his prosperity at 100 million is the aspect of Rx Saturn from the 12th house. Saturn's aspect is potent because he is Rx, plus he is the lord of the bad eighth house and he is aspecting from the twelfth house of loss. > > > > > > > > > > Fred Astaire > > > > > Fred Astaire, one of America's best known dancers, was worth somewhere between 50 and 100 million dollars. His Lakshmi yoga is formed by exalted Venus in the fifth house and exalted Moon in the seventh. His wealth capped at this level because, although there is no affliction to Venus or the Moon and the chart does contain other dhana yogas, neither Venus nor the Moon is involved with any other planet, nor is Mars, the ascendant lord, who is debilitated in the ninth house. > > > > > > > > > > Stephen Bechtel > > > > > Stephen Bechtel is one of the 793 billionaires in the world, the third generation leader of Bechtel corporation. But he is a poor billionaire. He has only 2.5 billion dollars. > > > > > His Lakshmi yoga consists of Jupiter swa in the ninth house and Venus in its own sign in the second, which I mentioned before is sometimes included in the yoga (although it is not part of its technical definition). This is one of those charts where there are many, many yogas, most of which directly involve the ascendant or its lord. This chart has the quantity and quality of yogas needed to make a billionaire' s horoscope. Nearly every planet in the chart must contribute something to wealth promotion for this outcome. And this is the case in this horoscope. Firstly, the lagna lord Mars sits opposite Jupiter in the ninth, directly involving it with the Lakshmi yoga. Secondly, the fifth lord and eleventh lord sit opposite each other on the 1/7 axis. The lords of 5 and 11 are another huge dhana yoga. This one is especially strong because both Sun and Saturn are exalted, plus Saturn is Rx. This Saturn is also special because it rules only positive houses, so although it aspects the ninth house and lord, as did Eddie Arcaro's, it is an entirely different Saturn, because it makes yogas and owns only positive houses. Nonetheless, it is still a Saturn aspect. Plus Mercury is in the ascendant as the sixth lord aspected by Saturn, which is a poverty yoga. These two factors weighted against all the good yogas are keeping him in the low billions. Also, Venus participates in another dhana yoga with the Moon in the eighth house. And there is a parivartana between Mars and Mercury, further strengthening the lagna. > > > > > > > > > > Bill Gates > > > > > The mother of all money charts, the richest man in the world does have a Lakshmi Yoga. His yoga consists of Venus and exalted Saturn in Libra in the fifth house. Because Saturn is a direct participant in the yoga, his association with Venus does not diminish the yoga. In addition, the ascendant lord Mercury is exalted and participates in multiple dhana yogas with Mars and the Moon, who also form a Chandra-Mangala yoga, another prosperity yoga. This yoga really counts in this horoscope because both Mars and the Moon rule money houses, the Moon is almost full, in a watery rashi, in the sign of a friend and the whole yoga conjoins the lagnesha who is powerful. All of his yogas are unafflicted by harassing planets with the exception of the Sun, lord of the third who mildly afflicts his Lakshmi yoga; however, it is the Sun, who is cruel but not really malefic, and is only the ruler of the third, a mild dussthana. Nonetheless, Gates did lose money when the US government (a signification of the Sun) sued him over monopoly issues. > > > > > > > > > > Thank you to my jyotish gurus who have taught me what I know and understand about this vidya.

And that is just based on the transits of Mars and Saturn. > > > > > > > > > > When Jupiter, by transit, is crossing its own sign of Pisces, from April 2010 to May of 2011, that is when the most important indicators of real estate recovery, new building and appreciation of property values should occur. > > > > > > > > > > The stock market should recover decently starting in December 2009, although it may have to wait until Spring 2010 to show any real signs of strength. > > > > > > > > > > When Ketu, by retrograde motion, goes over the degree where the Sun is, in the USA's natal chart (around 23 degrees Gemini), I expect that the U.S. Congress will start to deal with immigration issues seriously. This occurs in April 2010. Why then? Because Ketu stands for foreigners and the Sun stands for the government. > > > > > > > > > > View USA birth chart: http://jyotish. ws/materials/ chartq1_lg. jpg > > > > > Chart source: James Kelleher > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > The Lakshmi Yoga: Wealth > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ > > > > > By Alison Berker > > > > > > > > > > In order to properly assess a horoscope, analyzing the yogas therein is of primary importance. Yogas trump house analysis. They give rise to the preeminent themes of life. They influence the level of attainment in arenas such as knowledge and wisdom, wealth, spiritual power, governmental leadership, musical skill, etc. Certain yogas may also be indicative of other qualities such as strength of moral character (or lack thereof). > > > > > > > > > > When assessing yogas, it is also important to assess the strength of the lagna and any ties it may have to existent yogas. The stronger the lagna and the more the yogas are tied to it, the greater the person's capacity to utilize them. > > > > > > > > > > Yogas are like a home and its furniture: they provide a structural framework in which a life will operate. Like furniture, yogas are not created equally. If a yoga were an armoire, for example, well, armoires range in quality from a particle board self-assembly unit from Wal-mart to a perfectly preserved antique made of rare wood by an exceptional furniture maker. So, to simply remark that a person has an armoire reveals almost nothing except that they at least own a piece of furniture. If one discovers that the armoire is a priceless antique, the armoire starts to become a piece of furniture worth talking about. And just as a single priceless antique in someone's home is unlikely to arouse much talk, but a house full of priceless antiques becomes noteworthy, a single yoga is unlikely to elevate a life to an exceptional level. But a horoscope full of good yogas, in decent condition, will elevate that life, provided there is not a relevant yoga bhanga present. > > > > > > > > > > With those caveats, one of the premier yogas of wealth is the Lakshmi Yoga. Shastra offers two definitions of this yoga. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra states the yoga is formed when the ninth lord occupies a Kendra in its own, exaltation or mulatrikona rashi and the first lord is strong. This yoga cannot be formed in Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn or Pisces ascendants. This form of Lakshmi Yoga will be considered in a subsequent article. > > > > > > > > > > The second form of Lakshmi Yoga is defined in Phaladeepika as the ninth lord and Venus in kendras or konas in their own or exaltation rashis. This yoga can be formed in any ascendant. Some astrologers include Venus in the second in its own sign or exaltation for this yoga since the second is a money house. > > > > > > > > > > The yoga is described: " Will always enjoy the company of young and amiable women, be free from ailments, wealthy, sharp, blessed by the goddess Lakshmi, and protector of his people. He will have the best of transport, like horses, elephants and palanquins. As ruler, he will be the most pleasing to all his subjects and liberal in his gifts. " > > > > > > > > > > Lakshmi yoga is not the only wealth yoga and one will not find it in all wealthy horoscopes; however, its presence is a strong indicator of luck and prosperity because it is an extremely rare yoga. A refined analysis of the yoga can give some clues as to the level of prosperity it may bring. Below are five example charts with comments. > > > > > > > > > > View the charts online at: http://jyotish. ws/materials/ chartR.html > > > > > > > > > > Christophe Auguin > > > > > Auguin is the poorest of our Lakshmi Yoga contenders. He is one of the world's best sailors and has won multiple sailing prizes. Unfortunately, sailing prizes tend to be smallish, only thousands of dollars. His chosen vocation is teaching, which is not a giant moneymaker either. However, one indication of Lakshmi yoga that does hold true for him is that of " best vehicle. " He asked for and received a boat especially built for him in which he won two around-the-world races. His Lakshmi yoga is weak for a number of reasons. First of all, it is formed by only a single planet because Venus is the ninth lord for Aquarius ascendant. Secondly, Venus does not participate in any other yogas, and while the chart does contain some other nice dhana yogas in the tenth house, they are not tied to the lagna lord who is Saturn and who is also all by himself. And lastly, Aquarius people often do not successfully orient around money because Jupiter is the lord of two money houses, the second and the eleventh, and Jupiter prefers wisdom to money. > > > > > > > > > > Eddie Arcaro > > > > > Eddie Arcaro was America's richest jockey. He rode to victory 4,779 times with winnings totaling over 30 million dollars. He parlayed those winnings into good investments, successful oil speculation and part of a saddle business. His net worth was probably in the neighborhood of 100 million dollars. His Lakshmi Yoga is beautifully formed with exalted Venus and swa Jupiter in the ninth house. Plus, his lagna lord Moon is in the second house, making a good dhana yoga opposite Sun in the eighth. However, the blight on both these yogas that capped his prosperity at 100 million is the aspect of Rx Saturn from the 12th house. Saturn's aspect is potent because he is Rx, plus he is the lord of the bad eighth house and he is aspecting from the twelfth house of loss. > > > > > > > > > > Fred Astaire > > > > > Fred Astaire, one of America's best known dancers, was worth somewhere between 50 and 100 million dollars. His Lakshmi yoga is formed by exalted Venus in the fifth house and exalted Moon in the seventh. His wealth capped at this level because, although there is no affliction to Venus or the Moon and the chart does contain other dhana yogas, neither Venus nor the Moon is involved with any other planet, nor is Mars, the ascendant lord, who is debilitated in the ninth house. > > > > > > > > > > Stephen Bechtel > > > > > Stephen Bechtel is one of the 793 billionaires in the world, the third generation leader of Bechtel corporation. But he is a poor billionaire. He has only 2.5 billion dollars. > > > > > His Lakshmi yoga consists of Jupiter swa in the ninth house and Venus in its own sign in the second, which I mentioned before is sometimes included in the yoga (although it is not part of its technical definition). This is one of those charts where there are many, many yogas, most of which directly involve the ascendant or its lord. This chart has the quantity and quality of yogas needed to make a billionaire' s horoscope. Nearly every planet in the chart must contribute something to wealth promotion for this outcome. And this is the case in this horoscope. Firstly, the lagna lord Mars sits opposite Jupiter in the ninth, directly involving it with the Lakshmi yoga. Secondly, the fifth lord and eleventh lord sit opposite each other on the 1/7 axis. The lords of 5 and 11 are another huge dhana yoga. This one is especially strong because both Sun and Saturn are exalted, plus Saturn is Rx. This Saturn is also special because it rules only positive houses, so although it aspects the ninth house and lord, as did Eddie Arcaro's, it is an entirely different Saturn, because it makes yogas and owns only positive houses. Nonetheless, it is still a Saturn aspect. Plus Mercury is in the ascendant as the sixth lord aspected by Saturn, which is a poverty yoga. These two factors weighted against all the good yogas are keeping him in the low billions. Also, Venus participates in another dhana yoga with the Moon in the eighth house. And there is a parivartana between Mars and Mercury, further strengthening the lagna. > > > > > > > > > > Bill Gates > > > > > The mother of all money charts, the richest man in the world does have a Lakshmi Yoga. His yoga consists of Venus and exalted Saturn in Libra in the fifth house. Because Saturn is a direct participant in the yoga, his association with Venus does not diminish the yoga. In addition, the ascendant lord Mercury is exalted and participates in multiple dhana yogas with Mars and the Moon, who also form a Chandra-Mangala yoga, another prosperity yoga. This yoga really counts in this horoscope because both Mars and the Moon rule money houses, the Moon is almost full, in a watery rashi, in the sign of a friend and the whole yoga conjoins the lagnesha who is powerful. All of his yogas are unafflicted by harassing planets with the exception of the Sun, lord of the third who mildly afflicts his Lakshmi yoga; however, it is the Sun, who is cruel but not really malefic, and is only the ruler of the third, a mild dussthana. Nonetheless, Gates did lose money when the US government (a signification of the Sun) sued him over monopoly issues. > > > > > > > > > > Thank you to my jyotish gurus who have taught me what I know and understand about this vidya.
