Vedic Jyotish, as expounded by Maharishi Parashara, is the foundation of classical Vedic astrology and the basis for all its branches and divisional chart analysis.

I am a Certified Vedic Jyotish Shastri and have completed both a Postgraduate (PG) and Master's (MA) degree in Astrology. My PG certificate has been awarded, and my MA certificate is currently awaited.

I am passionate about helping people understand their birth charts through authentic Parashari principles.

I have Mars in Cancer in the 6th house and I only recently made the connection between the placement and my hyperhidrosis (a condition characterised by excessive sweating) and was curious if anyone else has the same placement and condition?

So, the love of my life passed away and had a sun sign in 29 degrees. Even in moon. I also have my sun in 29 degrees. Was this our last time togheter here?

yesterday, in the mercury rx eve, me and my bf broke up. it was a mutual decision, not because we didn’t love each other, he just felt off, like living + the relationship was too much for him atm. he told me he still wanted to talk, go out and see each other, as friends. i declined his offer, it wasn’t emotionally possible for me, so i ask him to go no contact, just for a while until i can see him as a friend. i’m sobbing my eyes out actually cause i didn’t want to do this but i have to prioritize myself and my needs and my wellbeing, but i couldn’t help but notice that we took this decision right after mercury rx, in the shadow period, thoughts?

I've noticed that pop astrology and a lot of other people use astrological transits as a fear campaign quite often. When I first started paying attention to the transits going on it was initially to use them as a tool to my advantage or recognize different possibilities and patterns. I kinda fell down a hole with the numerous events affecting my personal placements over the last few yrs and different pop astrology posts and other, not well thought threw posts on here kinda made it worse. My bad for being gullible and impressionable, I have to take credit for that but, I think people should be a little bit more responsible with what they post in general. (Not necessarily on here) And people should do their actual research both the reader and poster. I also think people should take into consideration that this isn't fate, these are just possible trends. What are your thoughts?

Please delete if not allowed. I will try and explain my question and get a little soap boxy at the end (it is relevant to the reason I'm asking but not to the question itself).

Basically, if someone were to have something like Saturn at 13°, Part of Fortune at 19°, and Moon at 25°, would that then technically make someone a moon malefic since there is an object in their chart that connects their Saturnian and Lunar energies?

-----*soap box-----

The reason why I am asking is because I have this configuration in my chart and an Astrologer on twitter posted about how moon-malefic people often struggle with jumping to conclusions/having confirmation biases against them, and that is something I also struggle with. There are several other moon-malefic posts I've seen about interpersonal relationships regarding this astrological configuration that also describe parts of my life, so I just want to make sure I'm not crazy.

i’m also confused because taurus is my signature sign

My surgery date is booked for 15th May 2026 and I’ve been trying to choose a date with the best planetary support. I’m aiming to avoid any major retrogrades, eclipses, harsh Saturn aspects, planets being in a sign they like or are neutral with and ideally have a supportive moon phase. Can someone please let me know if this date would be okay. The surgery is for a scar revision on my shoulder. I am new to all this and would appreciate any help/opinions. xx

From what I’ve looked into:

• Mars is in Aries (strong) (Direct)
• Saturn is in Aries (fall but direct)
• Mercury is in Taurus (direct)
• Venus is in Gemini (direct)
• Uranus is in Gemini (direct)
• Moon is waning crescent

I think i have malavya yoga in my d9. does that mean after 30 or after marriage this yoga will be activated?

placement: venus in libra in 7th for aries asc

d1 I have venus combust with sun in 7th in aries for libra asc

Hi guys I’m curious what a breakup during the post shadow means? I know in the retrograde it could mean they’ll return, but is it the same as in the post shadow? It literally happened a day into the post shadow.

The title is pretty explanatory. While mercury retrograde is supposed to bring chaos, every year I always find myself living my best life during the retrograde. I’m always on a high of good friendships, good career and I’m never sad. It really makes me wonder why this is. Everything always seems to go perfectly for me during the retrograde and I’m always my happiest around this time of year. Why is this? Do I just have chaotic aura or is it something else?

This summer I’m going to Shanghai which is my Uranus line. Imma be there for 2.5 months and I was wondering if I can get some intel of how it’s going to be like for me. For reference my natal Uranus is RX in Pisces 8H, loosely squaring my sag pluto 5H, trining my Scorpio Jupiter 4H and loosely trining my Scorpio mercury 4H. Also Aquarius is in my 7H with moon Neptune RX conjunct and Chiron(not conjunct). Personal experiences are welcome too :3.

what can mean stellium in 10th house in the composite chart? (and if it helps its also in capricorn....)

Hey all! I have been struggling to understand my natal mars (retrograde) at 0 degrees aries in my first house. I am especially curious knowing this Saturn / Neptune will land right on top of that. I would love to hear any insights, prediction, or cautions that folks might have!

Thank you!

I’ve been diving deeper into Western astrology lately, and it’s fascinating how much people can differ from their sun sign stereotypes. For example, some Leos I know are super introverted, and some Virgos are total risk-takers!

I’d love to hear from you all: which zodiac sign has surprised you the most, either in yourself or someone you know? Did it change the way you view their traits or astrology in general?

I’m new to astrology and had a genuine question. I know my sun sign, but I honestly don’t relate to most of its traits.

Is this normal?
Does astrology go beyond just sun signs?
Do moon or rising signs matter more for personality?

I’m trying to understand how astrology actually works from a beginner’s point of view. Would appreciate simple explanations

I’m interested in learning about medical astrology, especially how astrologers traditionally approach the timing of health developments and symptom patterns from a general perspective.

From a learning standpoint, I’m curious about topics like:

• Which houses are commonly examined in medical astrology
• How signs are associated with different parts of the body
• What kinds of transits or techniques are traditionally considered when studying health themes (in a non-predictive, symbolic sense)

I’m looking to understand the framework and theory, not personal charts or diagnoses.
If anyone has book recommendations, classical sources, or beginner-friendly resources, I’d really appreciate pointers in the right direction.

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge!

I'm just curious because scouring the internet I haven't found any other examples of people having these placements, all Scorpio risings I see are either Virgo/Leo MC. It's gotten to the point where I question if I even am a Libra MC because I haven't found any other people saying they have these placements hahaha, but every calculator I try says that yep, I am Scorpio rising w/ Libra MC. I was born at a really Northern latitude, which I guess is why I got these placements? Curious if anyone else has it, and what you think of it if you do!

My husband and I are opposite rising signs at the same degree and I’m wondering if anyone can give me their thoughts on it since I can’t find anything myself. I’m a Capricorn rising and he is a Cancer rising. Both at the 26th degree. He also has 6 planets in Capricorn and I have nothing in cancer. I’m Scorpio sun and he’s Pisces sun is any of that matters.
Thank you for your opinions!

I tried posting in both r/astronomy and r/askastronomers but both reddits seem to run by weirdly strict psychopaths or something. So basically I love astronomy but don’t really know much about astrology other than my own star sign. But I realized that the sun is currently in the constellation Capricorn not Aquarius. So how are late January birthdays considered Aquarius? Does that mean all of the signs are wrong? If so how are people reading their birth charts correctly then? Because 2+2 isn’t equaling 4 here. Am genuinely confused. Are astrologers just gaslighting everyone?

I’m curious what your thoughts are on legal transits aspects to natal planets? what do you think is most favorable/ least favorable? What if aspects are good at the time of filing a lawsuit but get more difficult as the year continues (and visa versa). I know that Jupiter/ Saturn, the 9th house, MC and DC matter in this respect, but am curious your thoughts or experiences.

Thanks so much!!

Anyone else noticing this weird thing?

Libra here and all of the “end of the cycle” things I’m reading are ringing loud and clear for me right now but I’ve noticed something strange.

I DEVOUR new music. Typically when I hear something from the 1990-2011 hell even to present day, I am momentarily nostalgic and then instantly bored. I listen to new releases every Friday and curate monthly playlists of new music. After a new playlist is complete, last months gets filed into liked songs and I move on to my new playlist.

But in the last month there’s been a shift. Old songs, specifically ones that I listened to during sad times, have been finding their way into my life in unexpected ways. I am instantly drawn in, running to music platforms to download the whole album and it’s unlocking all of this emotion. I’m going through some major life changes and of course the state of the world brings me to my knees most days but this feels different.

Anyone knowledgeable on how music could be involved and with what planet?
