Likewise Saturn transiting 4<sup>th<\/sup> and 8<sup>th<\/sup> from Moon are called <strong>Dhaiyas <\/strong>of 2 \u00bd yrs of misery like the Saadhe- Satti. It is important to note that not all this time is equally bad or good. The dasas, other transits are also vital before judging the period good or bad<\/li>\n<li>Another important point is functionality which you already know. If you refer to the readings above, Saturn is a highly benefic planet for say Taurus and Libra moon sign\/ ascendant. When these signs have Saadhe- satti or dhaiyas, they will face some stress and negative issues but overall the period will be functionally good for them and give them progress<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Double Transit phenomenon (Important!)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The signs which both Jupiter and Saturn aspect in their transits are \u201cactivated\u201d so to speak. This is because Saturn is the Karmakaraka or significator of our actions\/ karma and destiny whereas Jupiter is Jeeva Karaka showing where our intentions\/ blessings and fruits lay. So when both aspect one sign, that sign gets Activated or turned ON. For example currently Jupiter is in Cancer and Saturn in Scorpio. Thus Jupiter is affecting Cancer, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces (remember the 5, 7, 9 aspects?) and Saturn is affecting Scorpio, Capricorn, Taurus and Leo (3, 7, 10 aspects). Common in all this is Scorpio and Capricorn. Hence these signs will be activated. So say Taurus Moon sign (or ascendant) the 7<sup>th<\/sup> bhaav (Scorpio) and 9<sup>th<\/sup> Bhaav (Capricorn) is activated. So now you know which areas are in focus to these individuals and what the bhaavas signify you know from the earlier chapters<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rahu-Ketu<\/strong> axis will show the problem area, if you will, during any given time. So as an example for Gemini moon sign currently, Rahu-Ketu are in the 4<sup>th<\/sup>-10<sup>th<\/sup> axis and hence the axis, which among other things, governs peace, happiness, private life, emotions and career, job, social image etc. Also to be kept in mind is that Rahu even though malefic in general also tends to at times open some hidden doors in terms of sudden opportunities governing the area it transits in, especially if Jupiter is also aspecting that sign. Example if Rahu is transiting the 10<sup>th<\/sup> bhaav and Jupiter is also aspecting 10<sup>th<\/sup> bhaav during transit, then sudden opportunities in career can open up, but Rahu will also tend to give stress and obstacles in the process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rahu- Saturn<\/strong> together aspecting a sign during transit and with no aspect of Jupiter on that sign calls for heavy Karmic testing of that area of life and possible separation from relatives\/ people ruled by that sign also. Example if Saturn and rahu both transit the 9<sup>th<\/sup> house, the person can face bad luck situations and also get separated temporarily or permanently from father or Guru or mentor\/ boss\/ employer (which 9<sup>th<\/sup> house represents)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jupiter <\/strong>transit over any house or planet will tend to expand, easen and smoothen the results the bhaav or planet represents. Example if Sun rules the 10<sup>th<\/sup> house, then Jupiter transiting over natal Sun degree (even the entire sign where Sun is) will tend to expand or improve results related to job\/ career<\/li>\n<li><strong>Saturn <\/strong>transit will bring out the results of the sign or planet it transits over into FOCUS. You cannot escape those topics of life in that time (even if you were earlier). Saturn by itself is not positive or negative but has a general tone of slowing things down as it takes 30 months in one sign. It will JUDGE you as per your efforts and caliber and karma in that area and give results accordingly. These can be negative or positive as per the planet\u2019s strength and dignities. Saturn will keep that area of life in focus till it transits to the next sign. By that time it would have deemed that the native has learnt the required lessons (good or bad) and time is now to focus on things represented by the next sign.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ashtakvarga (Vital)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I have talked about this before. A small recap-<\/p>\n<p>Each planet can have 0 to 8 BAV score in each sign, the more it gets in a sign, the better its result in the sign. The software will calculate this for you. Likewise SAV scores is for the entire sign (combination of all planets BAVs in that house) Average for this is about 27. Higher the better. If a sign has say 42 SAV bindus, most planets will give very good results there. By the same token say 8<sup>th<\/sup> bhaav from Moon has 42 SAV score and 6 BAV score for Saturn. Now 8<sup>th<\/sup> from Moon is generally negative for Saturn transit. But in this case due to so high SAV and BAV scores in that sign, Saturn will actually not harm at all and perhaps give some sudden gain related to say inheritance or protect you in an accident etc. (significations of 8<sup>th<\/sup> house)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Moon transit during Transit start<\/strong> This concept is important, especially for slow moving transits of Saturn, Jupiter and the nodes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Consider the bhaav (relative to Moon sign) where Moon is at the moment a bigger transit is happening (example Saturn transit). Although this can be used for smaller transits of Sun, Mars etc. also, its significance is higher for slower moving transits as they stick around much longer. Now once you have noted this, see table below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theartofvedicastrology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Silver.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-362\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theartofvedicastrology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Silver.png?resize=640%2C236\" alt=\"Silver\" width=\"640\" height=\"236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theartofvedicastrology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Silver.png?w=1060&amp;ssl=1 1060w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theartofvedicastrology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Silver.png?resize=300%2C111&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theartofvedicastrology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Silver.png?resize=1024%2C378&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Example Saturn is transiting into 6<sup>th<\/sup> bhaav (from 5<sup>th<\/sup>). This is a great transit. On exact time of transit, if moon is placed 4,8 or 12 from its original position in horoscope, then the transit occurred on \u201cIron feet\u201d and the good results of transit will not be fully felt. Likewise even if the transit is negative but starts with Gold or Silver feet, the results will be less bad than otherwise anticipated<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Vedha &amp; Vipreet- Vedha<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A more advanced topic, not fully discussed for now. \u2018Vedha\u2019 means an \u201cobstruction\u201d. When planets transit auspicious places (as per table above) but there is another planet transiting a \u2018Vedha\u2019 location, then the auspicious results are put on HOLD due to this other planet. \u2018Vipreet\u2019 means reverse and Vipreet Vedha is the opposite of Vedha. An example will make it clear. Saturn transit in 3<sup>rd<\/sup> from Moon is auspicious as discussed above. Its Vedha location is 12<sup>th<\/sup> from Moon. So when Saturn is transiting 3<sup>rd<\/sup> from Moon, if another planet transits in the 12<sup>th<\/sup> from Moon (except Sun) then the Positive effects of Saturn are put on HOLD and don\u2019t show up and the effects of that planet in 12<sup>th<\/sup> take prominence. Likewise if Saturn is transiting 12<sup>th<\/sup> (a negative location) but another planet transits the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> house, then there is Vipreet Vedha- implying Negative effects of Saturn are on Hold now due to the focus being on the effects of this planet in 3<sup>rd<\/sup> from Moon. Not all positions have a Vedha and hence Vipreet Vedha, the positions are tabulated in various textbooks and astrological literature. Understanding the concept is of importance at this stage<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Transit of Dasha Planets<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even though transits of all 9 planets are important, the transits of the 4 slower planets are more important as explained above. In addition, the transit of planets who\u2019s Maha Dasa, Antar dasa is operating (concepts not yet discussed) will be also prime importance. Example if a person is in the Major period (Maha Dasa) of Venus, then the transit of Venus will ofcourse gain high importance along with the 4 slower planets, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This topic even though broad &amp; deep, should be discussed before the reader looks at horoscopes.
