Karma vs Destiny Ved
This is the question that has been asked many times in astrological
community, and has been shabbily answered. What is the more
important in human life, destiny or diligence (hard work)? There is an
ancient story narrated in Matsya Purana, and is a dialogue between
Manu and Matsya avatar. Hope you will enjoy reading it and will get
the answer.
ask about the task and responsibility given to him. At that time Manu
asked a fundamental question of philosophical in nature, he asked
Matsya avatar.
Shri Matya avatar answered “ O Manu my child, the wise one rate diligence (Purusharth) superior to destiny (bhagya)
because destiny is nothing but the results of one’s own act done in the past incarnation……..consistently proactive/
progressive person with right conduct and diligence even defy the adversities/misfortunes.”
The people who have done good/venerable deeds (Satoguni) in the earlier incarnations have been observed to
achieve good things without making deliberate efforts. Those who are proactive (Rajoguni) achieve good things by
planning and diligence, while those who are indolent/lazy (Tamoguni) have to work hard in achieving their objectives.
Shri Matysa avatar further explained “O King, people achieve their desired objects by diligence, but those who lack
diligence consider destiny superior and depend upon it. It is the diligence supported by destiny which bears optimum
fruits. Destiny is like hidden treasure, but you need to work hard to find that treasure or way to open it. If you don’t
work, then even if you sit on the trunk of treasure but still you cannot open it. If one faces hardship in the present, then
one will surely reap the rewards in the future. It is just like having a harvest (fruit) after a rain (destiny) but still you
need to work to plant the crops (diligence).”
Final Potshot: In astrology we compare the planets with the avatars of Shri Vishnu and Matya avatar is said to be the
representation of Ketu. Now we know that Ketu represents our past life karmas and gives us the fruits of those
actions. Thus Ketu is a function that distributes our destiny and keeps strack of our karmas. If we have good Ketu
then our karmas were good and bad Ketu represents improvisation.

Exaltation of Sun Punneit
Exaltation of “Uccha” is a
condition of planet where
it is
supposed to be at its
peak
Around 14th of April when the Summer hits the Northern Tropical belt, Sun starts gaining the energy and comes
soaring on earth. Thats when it is supposed to be young and strong. Its Aries zodiac at that time.
Sun is believed to be most powerful and effective in Aries. The exaltation or uccha dignity of Sun begins with
zero degree of Aries and goes up to 10 degree. At 10 degree, Sun is in highest exaltation state.

Note: Exaltation is a raj yoga and may
not define full efficiency. The word
exalted simply relates to the strength
of the Sun in a horoscope and it
doesn’t relate to the nature of the
Sun in a horoscope. So a planet in
mool trikona behaves better than
exalted planet.
After 10 degree, it leaves the exalted state and come to the mool trikona which is the second best state[on
basis of strength]. Sun is exalted in Ashwini Nakshatra. the ruler of Ashwini Nakshatra is Ashwini Kumars, the
children of Sun. Sun finds its home and behaves as a king and a father.
The exalted sun would give the native fearless nature and strong will-power. This gives royal qualities and an
inflated ego. The person can highly ambitious and possess good leadership qualities. As Sun is the king of the
solar system, he will be high in his spirits and will be a born leader. He would attain high laurels in life and
would be highly successful because of exalted Sun in his horoscope.
The native can achieve professional success in his life by virtue of his creativity.
Some of these natives can become professional sportsmen and they may achieve good amount of success
through a sport, some may excel being a politician.
An exalted sun with good Jupiter is also good for an authoritarian position in a government office.
The native with exalted sun must always check his ego and keep the confidence level on practical grounds. The
tendency to be over-confident can prove bad for the native and must always check the feasibility. The exalted
sun does give exceptional abilities but has to be guided by a well powered Jupiter. Exalted sun natives always
need a good mentor.
The leadership quality is exceptional. If this is found in 6th or 8th house it can result in great healing abilities.
Spiritual Side
Aries is 9th from Leo. Leo is natural 5th house. 5th
house represents kids.
An ideal king treats his kingdom as his own kid and
establish true dharma(9th house energy) and that
what makes him revered hence exalted. So is the
role of true father. Sun executes his best role in
Aries. If you have it you are lucky and make the best
of it.

CHANNELING
What is channeling?
It is important to know that we exist in an interconnected realm, where everything is a spark of the divine. As one
energy, one universal consciousness, we are interlinked. As many information are floating in the universe as
vibration and frequencies, they can be tapped by the seer. A person who acts as channel can assimilate and pass it
on.
7
Trina
There can be claims of such that God, angels or spirit guides speaking through such a channel.. well it depends, how
and what one believes it. It is important to not label, Or make it a superstition based act or any kind of fawning to the
channel.
a.
A person who becomes a channel is just an instrument or kind of a messenger, different from psychics or mediums.
b.
In case the channeled message resonates and helps in a situation, it can be followed. Yet the power of discrimination
always lies with the seeker, what one wants to take or not.
c.
The odds about such channeling is that there’s no evidential proof how it works and no way to verify. Channeled
information can be contradictory from various sources. Hence, it is quite debatable. Avoid dependency, blind faith and
d.
illogical messages as there are many nonsense being circulated in the name of such.
The work of a channel like any astrologer or tarot card reader is quite a responsible one that way, needs a good level
of maturity and understanding of human life. Surrender is a must for the innate knowing to come up and to have trust
e.
in the process. These message can be more towards indicative and guiding, than predictive. And if one is supposed
to know, one will.
Best wishes.

Ascendant Wise Saturn
Ketu Conjunction
This article is of everybody’s interest as here I would be giving the ascendant wise predictions of this Sa-Ke
conjunction for all twelve ascendants and would be disclosing how it would be affecting our lives at individual
levels. I had also clearly mentioned for whom this conjunction would be more intense and potent and they should
take it more seriously. I will not be repeating all this information again as my articles are already very long, so I
highly recommend you to read the previous article before you start reading this one.
Before I begin, I would like to clarify that these predictions are from ascendant positions, but you can also take it
from Moon or Sun ascendant, depending on which is strong for you.

ARIES
The tunneling, cleansing and fine tuning effect of Saturn-Ketu will chiefly affect your faith and belief system.
There could an end of the false hope for you and you would come to the point of realization where you need to
make some important decisions for yourself. The reflecting back and course correction of your path will come
especially in the month of May. However in May and June you need to be careful for health and especially
about accidents and injuries. This whole period of Saturn-Ketu conjunction will also make a kind of career shift
or major changes
in your profession. If you natal Saturn is weak then it can also result in the loss of job. This
will also give problems
with friends and siblings over some old issue and this could lead to breakage. You
need to be careful
about your father too as this whole period will bring weaker health or health issues or some
chronic problems….this will happen especially in December-January. The best remedy will be to remain
positive and work on your growth. Visiting a pilgrimage or reading spiritual books would be helpful.
Taurus
For you people, there could be a far greater and deeper psychological impact than the physical. If running into
proper dasha, then there could be an enhanced interest in different types of occult and spiritual science. This
could be either very positive for you or very negative depending on how tuned you are with you inner call. In the
month of May/June there could be injury to the face or problem to ENT or visit to dentist. Problems will come
in your path, and you need to deal with them, but it depends on you how you face them. This period could open
up a new treasure house for you, but things would not come the easy way and you need to bear the pain in the
process. In this period will also induce strange fears and phobias in you and attraction to the darker things in
life. You will grow and move forward, but only when you change yourself wholly from inside. The best remedy
for you is to go with the flow and allow the transformations to happen. Be well research and well informed.
10
Gemini
For Gemini ascendants this will have one of the strongest effects and will leave a very big impact and
impression. There could be greater attention and focus on the self, almost like a self obsession. There could
be many opportunities for you to steal the limelight or full credit with little efforts. You would be blasted with
new knowledge and information and desires to know more will arise in you. However the greatest challenge
for you is to transform the process of how you interact and deal with others. This may include dealing with
spouses and partners, and also business associates, clients, people met on the way and general interaction
with public. On the positive side this period may remove your internal fear to face the public and transform you
to a good public speaker and influencer. Inspite of the good things, there are also few challenging things
married or in a relationship, then the conjugal life may undergo a severe transformation
involved. If you are
and there could be
a kind of disinterest or unavailability and this may lead to long tern fracture or even break
up. The personal anger, passion and desires would increase many fold in May/June and when not met by the
partners then it will lead to problems. Things though may improve after November, but you need to manage
until then. If you are a single, then this phase will push you to get married or into a relationship and will bless
you with happiness towards the end. The biggest lesson and challenge for you is to have a healthy balance of
you personal growth along with taking care of the other person too. Gemini is the sign of twins, hence you and
your partner needs to work like two wheels of a bicycle.
Cancer
Cancer people are recently out of the bigger mess, hence it is kind of cooling off period for them. Again there
could be problem with spouse or in a relationship, but it is more or less like daily bickering and you are now
habituated to such things. You certainly don’t like the restrictions put by the spouse or being questioned by the
other people and there could be constant criticism from their side. However this area is not the major domain
of problem for you, but your own health and well-being is. You need to be specifically careful about your health
and not take any sort of risk for next 6 months. There could also be health risk/hospitalization of the spouse.
There could be major disputes with people at work space or with peers or with those you deal daily on day
today basis. In severe cases there could be legal troubles/court cases and could also be issues related to
inheritance or trouble by the in-laws. Try to avoid debts and loans else it will put you under stress. My advice to
11
Leo
Leos are one of the most dominant people and it is a good time for socialization and make new friend,
however you should remember one saying that nothing lasts forever, hence enjoy the parties with your friends
as much as you can. Friends will be a kind of support system for you, however this doesn’t mean that you will
not have you share of challenges. Maintaining the healthy relationship and love in that would be a major issue.
There could be the problem like loveless and dry phase of relationship, where there is not much fun left and it
is being continued just for the sake of it. Also there could be other relationships or short stints going on in the
background and there
are also chances of being caught or exposed in such cases. For those who are happily
married and have
kids, for them children could be the major source of trouble. Health problems or injuries to
your kids would trouble
you. For artists and creative people it could b a dull and unyielding phase troubled with
internal challenges and no motivations, unless you get inspired by heavy and philosophical things. My tip to
Leos is to not to show excess of bravados and be humble and inclusive. Think of new ways to make your love
life more exciting.
Virgo
Virgos are probably the luckiest this year and will escape with the least possible burns. If their lagna lord
Mercury is strong, then they will see a good growth of career and also personal development. However their
biggest problem would be their dissatisfaction. The way they feel about the things and happening to them,
they would never be satisfied….so it is like their heart would be their biggest enemy. There could be another
category of people which could turn cold at the misery of the people. In bad cases there could be problem with
or problem to mother, and are also chances of change of residence. You guys would be workaholic most of
the time and would not like to stay at home without much purpose. There could be positive boost and lots of
energy in the career in the month of May/June, so it could be the best time to get the appraisal. Virgo sign is
already the sign of practicality, so it is advised to be bit sensitive and compassionate towards others.
12
Libra
Hello beautiful Librans, for you the question will still remain….to do or not to do. You would still be in the
dilemma about what to choose and action to take. Saturn-Ketu will hamper your decision making process and
will make you more indecisive because of the fear of the uncertainty. Your heart and mind both are afflicted,
hence if you have weak Saturn in your natal chart then it will put you into troublesome situation and problems.
With good Saturn you can make excellent and courageous decisions. Other than that, there could be change of
residence or construction/renovation at home, problem from siblings. There could also be lots of travelling
involved this year.
Health wise, there could be problems related to lungs or some respiratory disorder or some
gastric/vaat problem.
For you, I would say that you need to be more courageous and have a leap of faith. Keep
the positive attitude
and you will make right decisions.
Scorpio
This conjunction will have very deep impact on you too Scorpions. There could be problems and conflicts in
the family or separation from the family. So it is better to move out or take a break and try out new
opportunities rather than sticking to the same flock. There could be problem with the flow of the resources
and money, hence you need to invent new ways of earning money or to manage it. I would say that see this
phase as an opportunity rather than a threat because in this time you would discover of what more you can do.
You need to have a control over your speech as being too sarcastic, acerbic can be harmful for you. There will
be moments, when you will not be willing to talk to anyone and go in a long silent phases. There could be a
major change in eating habits and it is essential for you to eat more of healthy, plain and simple satvik food.
One thing that you need to be careful about is that this period can make you start smoking or smoke more, so
if you are a smoker then it is better to quit or reduce it. For non-smokers this doesn’t apply but it is better not
to start. So my advice for the Scorpions is to speak softly so that it doesn’t hurt others and try to manage your
money well.
13
Sagittarius
Probably you would be most affected by this conjunction and this could be a life defining phase for you. There
could be a total transformation in your thought process, behaviour and personality, hence it is better to
embrace these transformations in a more positive way and as once in a life-time opportunity to implement the
changes that you always wanted. This could be the phase where you would be more absorbed and engaged
spiritually, hence if you are into spiritual practices like meditation or some kind of sadhana, then there could be
many unique experiences to you. If you are not into spirituality, even then there would be more than enough
opportunities to transform your life. There could be some critical decisions regarding family, finances or food
habits needs to be
made, and it could be the phase where your talking ad counselling could influence people.
This is the phase
where you would enter the self discovery mode and if you are ready and eager to implement
the changes then the wonderful life awaits for you at the other end. This phase is life the river, that you need to
cross and it will give new experiences and awakening. Other than that, you also need to be concerned about
your health and embrace the healthy habits, be it of eating moderate food, walking and exercising, doing yoga,
pranayam and meditation, focusing on the positivity or positive thought process, learn such new things like
NLP or EFT etc. This will also be the phase where you would be working more hard and in a kind of selfless
mode, focusing more on others. You would be more outgoing and involving with others and for the few lucky
ones there could be love and relationship might also be coming towards the end. So overall for the
Sagittarians, I would say that if you are in the intense dasha then you can reap maximum out of this beautiful
plan of the Universe, all you need is to break the old patterns and restructurize yourself and implement those
plans.
Capricorn
You already bore the brunt in past year and you are most practical and hard working people, hence you already
have the knowledge of how to handle this. However for you there would be a weird feeling of being lost or not
finding the way and hence, in you too a quest to find something will begin. Though you have the first hand
knowledge and pragmatic quality to read the situation, but still this phase will baffle you and you will find
something missing in you. Taking long journeys, foreign tours and travels would be helpful. You would also
find a great relief in being spiritual, meditation and undergoing spiritual retreats. However these things would
not be easy and would also be expensive, so much money could be spent on such purposes. However job and
career wise you would be doing good and it is not much troublesome. Health wise there could be some
problem with bowel movement or respiratory problems. It is advised to get body check up done. In May/June
there could be some problems and you may need to fight back or will have some dispute. Try not to be over
aggressive and try to resolve things before they are escalated (go to court).
14
Aquarius
For you, this phase will bring a lot of change and transformation in your networking and inner circle of people.
There could be a major dispute or challenge or backstabbing by a friend and it will afflict you. You also need to
be careful while driving or travelling in a vehicle as there are chances of injury to legs and lower portion of the
body. This could be a creative and artistic phase, with many big and out of the ideas coming out of your mind
but you need to see how practical they are. There could be a new sense of adventure in the month of May/
June, mainly out of the boredom hence you would try out all kind of things which are bold and adventurous in
nature. However you
need to see that adventure doesn’t turn up into a misadventure as there are chances of
injury too. Career
wise this phase could be of ups and down and there could be a possibly change or job or
profession too, however the gains would not be much and overall satisfaction level would be low. Try to avoid
disputes with friends and siblings else you would find yourself alone.
Pisces
Pisces, the most emotional sign of all for you too Saturn-Ketu brings a lot. Your major domain of change
would be focused around career and profession. If you are looking for a new job or profession then life will
give you a new opportunity, but then change would not be easy and there will always be a fear of the
uncertainty. This fear will constantly eat you and to deal with this fear would be a major problem. There could
be some partial break away from friends to focus on your career or there could be some path or way indicated
by friends and siblings. Try not to have a dispute with them. This could be a very emotional phase where your
heart and mind would be full of thoughts and fear of uncertainty may surround you again. However this could
be the period where you desire to stay at home and just do nothing. For the older people have a medical
check-up at regular interval and don’t take extra stress. Another point is that doing profession related to
spirituality like healing, channeling, astrology, religiously guiding and mentoring would be helpful and you
would have mental inclination to go towards such professions. So I would say that if your heart desired to
have a more fulfilling profession, then this is the right time to have a change. At the beginning it would seem
difficult, but all you need is a trigger to set the chain reaction.
So th e w e my sign wise predicti s f each ascendant. It is needless to say that they e gen al es and
not ev ything c ld be c ed in this already l g ticle. F fin predicti s we need to analyze the
individual ch t. H e y liked reading both the ticles and will sh e the magazine within y r iends and

Health & Wellbeing Trina
Lately, many alternate healing or therapies have gained popularity as more and more people look for
non-medical methods of good health and wellbeing. While some think it is just placebo effect, there are
evidences of cure in many such methods using reiki or pranic healing, or be it crystals ,aroma or
hypnotherapy etc. In this fortnightly column of Thee ninth house, named Health and Wellbeing, we
will be exploring such topics for its benefits.
The odds about any such therapy is that they are often semi-
scientific in nature and spiritual or metaphysical concepts
play important part. In this context, such healing
methodology cannot be a complete alternate to medical
solutions to serious diseases or medical emergency
situations. Such techniques can be an aid, a supportive and
complementary resource to medicine science.
Any healing or wellbeing concepts starts with an INTENT. Our mind is a powerful tool when its about
manifesting good. Much information is there in various well researched
e. books on “power of mind”.
Apart from these, in our subsequent issues we will try to understand such topic slowly in most simplistic
manner. For example, what is prana? What is use of trigunas (satva, rajas, tamas) is health and healing? What is
gross and subtle body? What is aura? How tatvas matter. Etc. Watch this space and be part of the journey with
thee ninth house of dharma and fortune.

Hast Mudra
Healing through 5 elements
A mudra is a spiritual gesture involving mostly hands and fingers. It is a combination of hand gesture,
pranayaam and meditation. Pranayaam basically will involve deep normal breating inducing relaxing effect.
The five fingers in our hands represents the “Panchmahabhoot” or the five elements from which the
universe is created. Mudras uses the combination of these five elements and activates their energy to heal
the body and initiate the spiritual journey
The oldest scripture defining mudra and hatha yog is “Gheranda Samhita” defining sevenfold yoga techniques
namely:
There are no fetters like those of illusion (maya),
* Shatkarma for body cleansing no strength like that which comes from discipline (yoga),
* Asana for body strengthening there is no friend higher than knowledge (jnana),
* Mudra for body steadying
and no greater enemy than egoism (ahankara).
* Pratyahara for mind calming
* Pranayama for inner lightness
* Dhyana for inner perception —Gheranda Samhita, 1.4
* Samādhi for self liberation and bliss Translator: Srisa Chandra Vasu(Source: Wikipedia)

Who are we? Special relativity is a theory of the structure of
Punneit
If that is true, each entity have a mass and have a gravity if its own and hence affects
time as its subset. So we exist as a response to the universal existance.
24
If this is true, we are the universe a smaller yet the complete one and the “aham
brahmasmi” is the one and only truth.
It is a feedback loop. And we are mortal so is the universe. And this is why the entire
“Kaal Purush” (12 zodiac entity) exists in every horoscope of every human.
Hence Horoscope registers gravity and is a gravitational map of the universe. We are a
construct that runs on the rules of gravity.
What breaks the gravity? Its velocity… because when we increase the speed time slows
down. And by this law speed is gravity. Speed is kinetic energy and to be completely
free from effect of gravity, one must break the speed barrier , one must run faster than
light.. beyond the speed of photon. This will make the gravity infinite. What is 1/infinity?
Its zero
Time vanishes. But by theory of relativity, using e equals mc squared, you become an
energy being.
Time has no effect on energy. So we are always supposed to be an energy being and
gravity is nothing but a chain to trap us.
We need to free ourself from gravity. We need to break the speed of light. Thats
enlightenment. But who knows? thw question still remains. Who are we?

AstroDynamics of a Ved
BLACK HOLE
This April, we witnessed one of the most historic events in the human history. Scientists at NASA declared that
they have photographed a Black Hole and revealed its real image for the first time to the world. In 1969, when Neil
Armstrong stepped first time on the Moon, it was dubbed as the giant leap for the Humanity. This revelation is
much more significant than stepping on the Moon. Ved Vyaskov and Punneit were the only two astrologers who
tried to explain the astrological interpretation of a Black Hole as they are lovers of Science, physics and
mathematics along with astrology. They explained it in their own individual capacities and now in this article I will
be taking you into deep and explaining the Astrodynamics of a Black Hole. So ladies and gentlemen, please fasten
your seat belts and keep you minds open as you are going to read something very amazing, very scientific and
very astrological.
BACKGROUND
In 1925 Edwin Hubble proposed the Big Bang theory which says that the Universe is continuously expanding and
in the same era Einstein worked on many of his idea and theories about the Universe, and since then hunt for
Black Holes began. Many scientists and astronomers contributed to the explanation of phenomenon of Black Hole
but having a real image of it seems impossible….untill NOW!
30
But on 10 April 2019, all hell broke loose when we got the
first hand photo of the Black Hole which was a asymmetric
donut shaped cosmic structure with a black central hole
and a shiny reddish-yellow hue surrounding the central
structure. The surrounding hue was the Event Horizon
beyond which nothing can escape. The real picture of a
Black Hole looked something like this.
Astrological
Analysis
Now, we will deal with the astrological aspects dealing with the discovery of the truth regarding the Black Hole. Its
first photographic evidence was shown to the world on 10 April 2019, when in the transit sky Jupiter had Stationed
and was about to get retrograde on the same day. It was in its own sign of Sagittarius at 0Sg14 in the Mula
nakshatra, and had not even crossed the half Shashtiamsa. It is a very intense Gandanta zone (and even among all
Gandantas, the crossover of Scorpio-Sagittarius is the most important). Such planet is in the highly turbulent zone,
and stationary phase is the most productive/yielding phase of the planet as it comes just before its retrogression.
So it was sure that Jupiter will show us some new light during its short stay in Sagittarius, before it retrogrades to
look and dig out for the truth at much deeper level. However the question remains what kind of truth can it show
us?
To answer this question, we need to see what does Mula nakshatra represents. In nakshatra astrology Mula
stands for destruction, recreation and going to the roots. It means gaining the indepth information, and laying or
uprooting the foundation. It is also to be remembered that in Nakshatras, the Yogataras are the most significant
stars in a particular nakshatra. In case of Mula, its Yogatara is known as Sagittarius A* (or abbreviated as Sgr A*)
which is also a known as Galactic Center as it is lies approximately at the centre of our spiral galaxy the
Milkyway. In reality, the Sgr A* is not a but it is also Black Hole and infact it is a Super Massive Black Hole
(SMBH) which is busy consuming our Galaxy. I will not get into its dimensions and other technical details, but
since Sgr A* deals with destruction and going to the roots, so Mula is assigned the deity as Nrriti which is the
Goddess of destruction. So whenever any significant planet transits through Mula, it gives a major breakage,
restructuring or knowledge of the roots. 12 years ago, back in 2007-08 when Jupiter transited in Sagittarius, it
created the severe melt down of property and financial market and resulted in a global recession.
Well Jupiter, alone is not responsible for this event, as it comes in the sign every 12 years and show different kind
of events. But this time Saturn and Ketu are also in the sign of Sagittarius and these three planets in the sign of
Sagittarius is once in many centuries event. Additionally if we consider outer planets, then even Pluto is transiting
very near to Saturn and Ketu.
31
Now astrologically Saturn and Ketu represent many things. Saturn is mainly the vast expanse of the space and it
represents black or dark colors or the things which are very far. On the other hand Ketu is the mysticism, puzzle,
the unknown or the mystery, and it literally means hole or narrow tube or tunnel. It is the realm of the unknown
and hence for this reason it is related to spirituality and the unknown. It also means destruction or breaking as it
is the planetary ruler of Mula nakshatra too (obviously in Vimshottari dasha scheme). So conjunction of these
three big planets at the start and end of Sagittarius unraveled the mystery of a Black Hole in which the real
mystery is of Saturn & Ketu, which Jupiter just showed the light.
Now here, some smaller but significant transit are also involved as every astrological transit is an unique position
in space and time, but the conjunction of Ju-Sa-Ke in Sagittarius happened after few hundreds of years, hence it
was the most important thing here.
Discovery and
Groundwork
It is said that Rome was not build in a day and same goes
for science and research too. To see the invisible, we
needed to have immense faith and intelligence to
integrate the present resources. The same was done with
this research as well. The project was initiated some two
years ago, by a team called Event Horizon Telescope
(EHT) which is located around the world at different
locations on different continents. Eventually many more
people got involved, but these 8 EHT were the principle
ones.
The location in space was initially the Galactic Center, but because of few technical difficulties, the target was
shifted to one of the largest Super Massive Black Hole called Messier 87 or simply M87 located 54 million
light years away in the Virgo cluster. This means that to search for this SMBH the astrological sign of Virgo
was looked upon which contains part of 3/4th Uttaraphalguni, Hasta and half Chitra nakshatra. In the picture
below, we can clearly see the location of M87 in the Virgo sign and above the stars of Hasta nakshatra.
This observational study by the team of EHT was done for 10 days in April 2017 when the skies across all 8
locations was clear and observable. All the data was collected and was processed for over two years. We
might feel that why this blur image is given such a huge importance, but even to get this blur donut shaped
image 5 TB of data was collected and processed.

of data was collected and processed.
The new target was made to M87 in Virgo cluster. In that month Jupiter was retro and was transiting in the
Virgo sign in between Chitra and Hasta nakshatra. This is the exact location of where the observation was
made. During that time Rahu was at 6 degrees of Leo is the location of another Yogatara Regulus in the
Magha nakshatra of Ketu. So it seemed like that this was made possible only because of the blessing of the
Jupiter, enormous efforts of Saturn and the desired of Ketu to be revealed.
So finally we have seen how specific position and transit of Jupiter, Saturn and Ketu have played part in this
big revelation. Though this is a very blur image, but it is a breakthrough image and with time both quality and
information will improve. This event and conjunction is exciting because there is hope for something big to be
revealed soon. Jupiter turned retro and on 22 April crosses back to Scorpio where it will gather some more
deep and mysterious knowledge and will throw it when it reenters Sagittarius back in November 2019. So this
was just a trailer, something much bigger and much mysterious is to come out in the coming months……so
just be hopeful and keep your fingers crosses.

Q Is it possible to understand why a person have a deep connection - Paromita
with another person?
Each horoscope has a definite architecture and purpose in life. When two people meet having purpose towards each
other in any form, they form a bond. Be it friendship, love, marriage or enmity. If you have met anyone in your life, he/
she was connected by your horoscope and that can be identified by comparing two horoscope and Mahadasha and
Antardasha of the two horoscope involved. The connection will be clearly visible but the reader must have enough
2
If someone knows about horoscope, can he/she impact the destiny
- Jatinder
by karmik influence?
The answer is yes. To explain by an example shared by Punneit during one discussion: A couple one day suddenly took
their kid to the water park and they thought kid will love it. Kid never asked to go there. This is compulsive event.
Beyond control. But on reaching there parents allowed the kid to either choose a ride or go and sit in a restaurant.
Thats free will.
It was a sunny day and then later it rained. This is Transit/gochar. To understand what the kid went through i need to
read this incident in totality. The kid instead slept whole day. This was his karma. parents never took him again there.
Hence the future is altered
3
Is it possible to determine gender of the person by horoscope? - Jatinder
Yes, but the method is so rare and complicated it is nowhere mentioned. The existing methods are not fully reliable.
This is under research by the THEE NINTH HOUSE TEAM.

Q&A

The 29th degree of ascendent is how critical a degree?
- Zen Rose
The celestial plane is a 360 degree circle and has no start or end. the start at Ashwini is a virtual start via Kaal Purusha
method. As the space is spanned by different nakshatras there is no hard boundary between two zodiacs. So at 29
is no way to identify which zodiac effect is more prominent. This is known as Composite Zodiac
degree there
position(as explained by Punneit). When you have such a degree of planet or ascendent, the current and the later
zodiac has to be mixed and seen as a chemical compound. Such horoscopes are very complicated and difficult to time
events.
5
What is a Paap Kartari Yog? - Nikita
Paap Kartari means Hemmed between two Malefics. the natural malefics are Saturn Rahu Mars and Ketu and Sun is
sometimes taken if it is bad. If any planet or a house sees a malefic planet in previous and in the next house, that planet
and house falls into paap kartari. It is not a very strong yog but it creates a boundary which the planet may or may not
like. The interesting fact is that human will do some paap or sin to come out of that yog. So it is a trap. A test which is
placed to check whose side you are in? Good or Bad?
6
If there is an eclipse in chart is the effect reduced after certain age? - Chirag
If any yog is present in your chart its effect depends upon Mahadasha and antardasha. However if there is any effect on
Sun or moon, it lasts lifetime and must be kept under check always.
35
Q&A
7
Will D9 chart becomes activated after 30 years of age? - Gaurav
D9 is navamsha chart and not the original chart. Its for the help for astrologers and not the layman. However it is active
since birth. The concept that it gets activated later is false. Only you become matured enough to sense it later is a true
explanation.
8
If we check the current sub sub sub sub dasha, does that mean
- Dimitri
it is most active planet of the day?
Mahadasha and Antardasha are carefully calibrated time calculation technique. It can be drilled to multiple levels. The
MD and AD must be mixed with Transits to see the most active planet of the day.However MD and its sub-x levels holds
more importance.
9
Is 11th house a benefic house or a malefic house? - Basab
All houses are benefic and malefic in some or other way. 11th house is benefic as it is the only house that only gives
but never takes. malefic because it is bhavad bhavam of 6th i.e, 6th from 6th house. It depends on what area you are
looking for. For all spiritual growth 11th is a malefic house.
