AstroSage Astrology Quiz/ Blind Charts

noreply@blogger.com (Punit Pandey) — Mon, 20 May 2013 08:02:42 PDT

Astrology never faced challenge of being labelled as superstition more than that in the last few decades. Astrology failed to modernize and also lagged behind in using technology and, in my opinion, it is the single most important reason of such situation of astrology. People get modern science perspective from schools and they feel dissatisfied with the old and traditional explanation offered by astrology and that drags people away from astrology. At AstroSage.com we understand it and we always try our best to bridge that gap between modern science and astrology by using advanced internet and mobile technologies.

AstroSage is probably the single most used website by the astrologers and astrology students. They use AstroSage Cloud to make birth charts and astrological analysis, AstroSage horoscope matching to match horoscopes, Astrologers Directory to find new clients, Affiliate to make money, astrology magazine to share their knowledge, AstroSage Atlas to find latitude, longitude and DST time correction and ‘Learn Astrology’ section to get text, audio tutorials and learning material etc. To help astrologers and astrology students to improve their knowledge, we have decided to come up with astrology quizzes.

In my opinion, quiz is one of the best methods for improving your astrological skills. In astrology, with some many rules and system available, post-mortem becomes very easy. We can justify any event in any chart but that doesn't help in learning. True test lies in foretelling events when you do not know them. Keeping this in mind, we have decided to organize one quiz / blind chart every fortnight. The winner will be given a prize and also get his name mentioned into “AstroSage Astrology Quiz Hall of Fame”. So do not wait, participate in quiz, win prize and become famous -

There is too much confusion surrounding this term "Nadi Astrology". Different people perceive it differently. Few people associate Nadi Astrology with thumb impression and palm leaves. Some will associate it with Nakshatra based astrology system. Some even associate it with Bhrigu Samhita, Arun Samhita, Lal Kitab et. Due to ignorance and lack of understanding, this rich Indian tradition of Nadi is being spoiled. This video, for the first time on Internet, defines what exactly is Nadi Astrology.

LK Advani: bright future ahead

noreply@blogger.com (Punit Pandey) — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:09:14 PST

L K Advani is one of the most respected politician of the present time. He is among very few politicians who have such a long political life but still there is no corruption charge on them. Today is his birth day and first of all I would like to wish him a happy birthday and a long life.

Astrologically, time around birthday is an important period. Astrology considers change of the year as very important event and use present year's chart for predicting yearly events of one's life. This chart is called solar return chart or varshfal chart in astrology.

Country is going through turbulent period. Both governing party and opposition party are surrounded by the charges of corruption. BJP's party president itself is under the scrutiny and they are trying to figure out who is going to lead them in most awaited upcoming assembly elections.

Annual Chart (Annual Horoscope)

His detailed chart is available in AstroSage Research Database at http://www.astrosage.com/celebrity-Horoscope/lal-krishna-advani-birth-chart.asp.

Coming back to Advani ji, current year's varshfal chart shows some very interesting points about Advani. I am not planning to go into detail of all that but in a nutshell, Lagna having benefic Venus and aspect of Jupiter on Lagna is a good indication. On top of that Muntha of this year is going to be in 5th house. Overall, this shows more power to him. He will be in more authoritative position and I'll not be surprised that he will be playing a mentor role for the party in terms of president of the party or some other similar form.

Birth Chart

Moreover, his Saturn antardasa in Saturn mahadasa is just ended and Mercury antardasa is started. Mercury is situated in 11th house, the house of happiness and fulfilment of desire. Mercury owns 7th house of public and 10th house, the house of fame and professional success. Mercury is in the nakshatra of Jupiter in 3rd house owning other two houses of power viz 1st and 4th house. Overall Mercury also indicates success and fame in the coming period.

Finally, it looks like an excellent period ahead for Advani starting with this birthday. He will be playing very important role in the party and leading from the front while taking party to the elections. It looks like it is not only me but also stars wishing him this birthday.

Sonali Kulkarni- Horoscope Analyzed

noreply@blogger.com (Punit Pandey) — Sun, 04 Nov 2012 04:05:24 PST

Yesterday we announced "Celebrity Birth Database for Astrology Research". On Celebrity Database, Birthday today section, I noticed that today is the birthday of Sonali Kulkarni. Sonali Kulkarni birth chart on AstroSage Celebrity Database has "Accurate (A)" rating that inspire me to have a second look on her chart. I am not a regular movie goer but recognize her for her role in successful movie "Dil Chahta Hai".

Anyways, coming back to the story, first glance on her chart, was very interesting. She had Saturn and Ketu in 7th house in a dual sign of Gemini. 7th Lord Mercury was in 12th house and aspected by Mars. First thought that came in my mind was about her marriage. I googled and find following on the Wikipedia page -

"Sonali's first brief marriage with Chandrakant Kulkarni, film director and writer, ended in a divorce. Since May 24, 2010 she is married to Nachiket Pantvaidya. Pantvaidya is MD of Fox TV Studios and this is also his second marriage. Together they have one daughter born on October 18, 2011."

No wonder that Mercury played its dual role and malefics played their role. Just to verify her birth details, I checked dasa at the time of her second marriage. As Wikipedia states above, her second marriage happened on May 24th, 2010. At that time, she was passing through Jupiter mahdasa and Mercury antardasa. Her Mercury, in the KP chart, is in 10th house being lord of 7th house. Among all the planets, Mercury is the only planet that signifies 7th house, no doubt that she got married in Mercury antardasa.

Mercury is a planet for communication and media. Mercury being lord of 7th house gives indication of marrying to someone from media background and "Fox TV Studios" seems among that. This again confirms accuracy of her birth details.

Coming back to her marriage, as I said, only Mercury signifies 7th house. There are quite a few planets in her chart that signify detrimental houses to marriage viz. 6,12 and 10th. It tells that her 2nd marriage may also not that good. She requires quite a few remedies to make her second marriage successful, in my opinion. I pray for her married life and wish that the planetary indications do not come out correct.

She is currently passing through Venus antardasa. Venus signifies all three negative houses for marriage viz 6,10 and 12. Doesn't look like a good time on personal front. I again pray for her marriage and married life.

Coming to the question of career, this period looks promising. From her birth chart, this looks like a good news. 5th house shows that she will be able to show her talent, art hidden in her and her creativity to the world. 10th house shows that she will be able to win some awards and will shoot to fame. 6th house shows that she will be able to make money and stood out of the competition. So overall, period till March 2013 looks excellent for her career.

Finally, as it is her birthday today, I would like to wish her good luck.

Charts can directly be opened in "AstroSage Cloud" so you can instantly open birth chart in your favorite astrology software.

Rahu Kaal Android App is very specific regarding place of the native and the time of sunrise as well.

Surya Grahan: Impact on Each Rashi / Zodiac Sign

noreply@blogger.com (Punit Pandey) — Sun, 20 May 2012 04:51:34 PDT

A Surya Grahan (Solar Eclipse) will take place on 20th May / 21st May 2012. This will be first Surya Grahan in this year 2012 which is taking place in Taurus sign and Krittika star. I had a quick look at the the planetary configuration during the time of Surya Grahan and unhappy to say that it doesn't look good.
This Surya Grahan gives some indication of economic crises. I am no expert in economics and my little knowledge tells that it can be due to bad situation in Euro zone escalated from Greece problems. Overall, economy seems in a concerning state and hence does Indian share market / sensex and nifty.

Jupiter Transit Through Taurus after 17 May 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Punit Pandey) — Sun, 20 May 2012 01:47:24 PDT

According to Indian astrology, Jupiter is changing its sign from Aries to Taurus on 17th May 2012. Jupiter is the Guru, a preacher. Taurus is a sign owned by Venus, another Guru. Jupiter is a planet for finance whereas Taurus is the sign for luxury. Jupiter symbolizes spiritual world whereas Venus symbolizes physical world. Jupiter thinks of others first whereas Venus thinks of itself. There are lots of similarity because both of them are Gurus but some fundamental differences as well. Let us try to understand how it is going to impact you.

In astrology, Venus attains highest power when it is in the sign of Jupiter i.e. Pisces. Though Jupiter is said to be in enemies camp when it is in the sign of Venus. So generally for Jupiter, this is not among one of the best positions.At the time of changing sign, Jupiter will remain in Krittika nakshatra.Krittika nakshatra is not considered a good Nakshatra for any planet in general, so Jupiter doesn't get much power here. During the course of its transit through Taurus, Jupiter will also pass through Rohini and Mrigshira nakshatra.

How will be this transit for you? Before proceeding I want to caution that in astrology, dasa must be given more importance than transit. Transit can not overrule your dasa, so lot depends upon your dasa and do not expect overnight change due to this change in Jupiter's transit. There is another caution that I want to place here. In astrology, we need to combine various factors to conclude whether a period will be good or bad. For example, how is Jupiter in your birth chart, which dasa you are passing through, which nakshatra Jupiter is passing through etc. So the zodiac sign given next is just suggesting and not conclusive. Last but not the least, position of Venus (sign lord for Taurus) and Sun (nakshatra lord Krittika) is very important here. If these planets are good, you will get good results for this Transit change. If these planets are not well placed in your birth chart, you can not expect good result from this transit change. Anyways, here are the results according to AstroSage.com Transit Horoscope (based on Ascendant / Lagna) -
