Dev Uthani Ekadashi : Associated Mythological Legends 

Once upon a time Goddess Lakshmi asked Lord Narayan, “Oh Lord! If you keep waking up throughout the day and night, without taking rest for a single second, then your irregular sleeping pattern will prove to be harmful. Therefore, you should book a period in a year’s time, to give yourself some rest and relaxation. This will also help me to spend some moments of leisure.”

Lord Vishnu listened carefully to his consort, Goddess Lakshmi and replied with a smile. He said, “Goddess! All deities especially you, suffer because of me. You don't even get a minute’s rest due to all these hassle. Hence, abiding by your words, from today onwards, I will sleep continuously for four months during the rainy season. During this time, all the Gods and Goddesses including you will get ample time to spend some leisurely moments. 

This sleep of mine will be called the Alpanidra (sleep apnea) and Pralay Kaleen Mahanidra. This will prove to be the ultimate blessing for my devotees. In this period, all my devotees will serve me and celebrate those days on which I go to sleep and wake up. And on these days only, I will reside in their households along with you.”

Retrograde Mercury Transit in Libra - 7 November 2019

Today’s Mercury Retrograde Transit in Libra Will Benefit These Zodiac Signs! Read On To Discover The Impact Of This Planetary Position As Per Astrology!

The planet Mercury is moving in retrograde motion and as a result of this transit, will enter the zodiac sign Libra today, on 7 November 2019. Some of you may be confused about what retrograde motion exactly entails. Often, even though a planet is moving in its standard orbit, however, as it moves slower than the Earth, it seems to be moving backwards, when viewed from our abode. This condition is not because the said planet is actually moving in the opposite direction suddenly. Instead, it is merely an illusion due to the slow speed of the planet. Astrologically, Mercury is a dualistic planet, meaning that it offers neither auspicious, nor inauspicious results on its own. Instead, the outcomes it causes depends on the other planets that it is in conjunction with.

Impact of The Position of Mercury in One’s Kundli

Mercury has a significant value in one’s kundali. The planet’s positive influence on a native due to its benefic placement can make the person intelligent, a skillful orator, mathematician, and rationalist. Astrologically, Budh is the significator of speech, communication, mathematics, logical abilities, intellect, cleverness, and more. It has lordship over the zodiac signs Gemini and Virgo, while the latter is also its exalted sign. On the other hand, Pisces is the sign where the planet remains debilitated. 

If Mercury’s position in the kundli is weak or it is in conjunction with a malefic or cruel planet, then it can cause several problems for the natives. A weakened Mercury can stunt one’s communication abilities. There is a naivety in their behaviour, and they fall behind in subjects like mathematics and logical skills. 

However, one can always strengthen the position of the planet in their kundali by performing remedies mentioned in our ancient scriptures.

• Wear Four-Faced or Char Mukhi Rudraksha to avoid the harmful effects of the planet, Mercury. 
• Establish the Budh Yantra with proper rituals and worship it regularly.

Jupiter Transit in Sagittarius Today, Know Its Effects

Jupiter Transit in Sagittarius will bring name, fame, and wealth for these zodiac signs! Read on to find out the astrological impact of this planetary movement!

Jupiter, the mentor of the Devas, will be making its transit to enter its own sign, Sagittarius. Whenever a planet enters its individual zodiac sign, during its transitory motion, it is strongly posited. However, a favourable position of the planet doesn’t necessarily equate to beneficial results. Therefore, Jupiter Transit in Sagittarius can offer positive or negative outcomes, depending on the zodiac sign. Before moving on to read about these results, let us first discuss the giant of the solar system, the planet Jupiter.

Impact of Jupiter’s Position in The Kundli

As per the astrological scriptures, Jupiter or Guru or Brihaspati is an auspicious planet. It is the significator of knowledge, religious activities, children, mentors, charity work, and progress. Religion states that Brihaspati is the mentor of the Lords; hence, its name ‘Deva Guru’. In the court of the Navagrahas, Jupiter holds the position of the minister. 

The abolisher of ignorance and darkness, this planet is the lord of Sagittarius and Pisces. In the same vein, while it remains exalted while in the sign of Cancer, Capricorn is the sign where it remains debilitated. Just like its own sign, the exalted sign also indicates a strong presence for the planet. On the flip side, in its debilitated sign, a planet is weakly placed. Astrology says that the aspect of Jupiter in a native’s kundli from the Moon ascendant is equivalent to the Nectar of Immortality (Amrit). 

If the placement of Jupiter is not favourable in a person’s birth chart, then the native can have to struggle with several problems as a result. Such a person has stilted progress, faces a degradation of their moralistic values, physical pain, as well as difficulties and obstacles in a marriage. To avoid all these, one must perform remedies to pacify Lord Jupiter and strengthen its placement in the natal chart.

Ways To Pacify Jupiter

• Worship the banana tree on Thursday to appease Lord Brihaspati.
• Wear yellow clothes on a Thursday to gain the blessings of Jupiter. 
• Wear a Five-Faced (Pancha-Mukhi) Rudraksha to evade the malefic effects of the planet Jupiter.
• Establish the Guru Yantra with complete rituals and venerate it to obtain the grace of Deva Guru Brihaspati. 
• Chant the given Guru mantra: “ॐ ग्रां ग्रीं ग्रौं सः गुरुवे नमः”/“oṃ grāṃ grīṃ grauṃ saḥ guruve namaḥ”.
