Destined To be A Singer - Astrology Will Tell You How

By Mrityunjai Ojha

When something goes right or according to your plan, you get a feeling that it was destined to happen. What one become in future, a doctor, an engineer, a singer or a dancer. We can say that our stars had some extent of involvement in guiding us to that road of success. Today, we will take the life of a singer and see how the stars played their part. We will study the horoscope and about the stars related to voice, communication and talent. 

Planets to create Singers

Astrological Combinations In A Singer’s Horoscope


We need to see few factors in the horoscope in D-1 (Birth Chart), D-9 (Navamsa) and D-10 charts (Dasamsa).

  1. Mercury and 2nd house for voice: Mercury should be well placed and if connected with 2nd house of Vaani (Voice), it is excellent. Mercury also rules communication. Mercury’s connection with Venus or 2nd house is a good indication.
  2. Moon for Artistic talent: We know Moon as the most prominent planet for artistic talent as we see Moon changing it’s shape on daily basis like full moon, half moon. For rhythm in voice up-low, Moon is required and connection of Moon with Trikona (1st, 5th, 9th house) blesses the native with artistic talent. Moon-Venus, Moon-Saturn, Moon- Jupiter combination are good for singing.
  3. Saturn for stability and deep interest: Saturn must be connected with 3rd, 9th or Moon/Venus, because a singer needs stability in his voice to carry his breathe for a long time and deep interest to carry on as patience is key for such kind of profession.
  4. Venus for Media: Venus is the key planet for media, so Venus should be connected with Mercury or 2nd house. Venus-Jupiter, Venus-Moon, Venus-Saturn and Venus-Mercury are good combinations.
  5. Rahu-Ketu: Rahu gives the desire, Rahu/Ketu connection with Lagna (ascendant) is necessary.
  6. Jupiter for creativity and guidance.
  7. We have to see the Nakshatra (constellation) Lords of these planets too.
  8. Dasha: Dasha (Planetary period) is the most important thing. Dasha of the planet is most prominent in the horoscope for singing out of these planets is the key.
Let’s go with some examples, I chose - 

2 horoscopes of singers whom I know personally, so I can say their birth details are correct for research purpose.

Gender: Male
Birth date: 06-Sep-1986
Time: 08:15 am
Birth place: Chapra, Bihar

Now, let’s analyse the first Horoscope.
  1. Mercury is placed in Nakshatra (constellation) of Venus and Venus is placed in 2nd house of Vaani. In D-9 chart, Mercury is placed in his own sign in Virgo. In D-10 Chart, again Mercury is placed in 2nd house. (See Rule 1)
  2. Moon placed in 1st house with Ketu. Moon placed in 9th house in D-10 chart. Moon is the Lord of 11th house and placed in his own Nakshatra. (See rule 2)
  3. Saturn is placed in 3rd house of communication and Exalted in D-9 and D-10, Saturn is placed with Jupiter (Creativity) in 10th house of D-10 chart. Saturn is in his own Nakshatra (constellation) and sub of Venus. (Rule 3)
  4. Venus is the Lord of 2nd (Voice/Vaani) and 9th (Luck, Communication), and placed in 2nd house in his own sign. Venus is the Lord of 5th house and 10th house of D-10 chart and placed in 11th house. (Rule 4)
  5. Ketu is placed in 1st house with Moon. Ketu is placed in Nakshatra (constellation) of Mars and Mars is placed in Nakshatra (constellation) of Venus. Rahu is placed in Nakshatra (constellation) of Mercury and Mercury is placed in the Nakshatra (constellation) of Venus. Venus is the prominent planet here too. (Rule 5)
  6. Jupiter is placed in 6th house in Aquarius and Jupiter works better in this sign. Jupiter aspecting Venus and Mercury. Apart from that, Jupiter is placed in 10th house with Saturn in D-10 chart. (Rule 6)
  7. Most of these planets are placed in Nakshatra (constellation) or Sub of Mercury and Venus.
  8. Dasha of Rahu is going on and Rahu is placed in 7th house, 2nd to Jupiter and in Nakshatra of Venus.

Another example I have is of a female singer, her details are:

Date of Birth: 02-dec-1986
Time: 13:20
Place: Ranchi, Jharkhand

In this horoscope too, we will see so many of the above combinations working well, I request the readers to do some practical work on their own. Apply these rules for this horoscope and see the results.

The last Lunar eclipse for the year 2013

The lunar eclipse falling on 19th October 2013, is Prachchaya Chandra Grahan (Penumbral lunar eclipse) and it is the last Chandra Grahan of this year. The duration of this Chandra graham is 239 minutes i.e. 3 hours and 59 minutes and it will occur in Ashwini Nakshatra and Mesha Rashi.

Chandra Grahan 2013


This lunar eclipse or Chandra Grahan would be completely visible from eastern Canada, Europe and Africa, while eastern Asia will miss it. In western region of Philippines the grahan will be seen at the moonset. 

Keeping the Hindu customs in consideration, activities like eating, drinking, sleeping and entertaining should not be done by the people (excluding the elder people and sick children) as this grahan will not be visible to the naked eyes.

Science Behind Chandra Grahan 


From scientific point of view, lunar eclipse or Chandra Grahan is a celestial event in which the earth comes in between the Sun and Moon. Earth covers the Moon completely, due to which the Moon does not have any light resulting in complete darkness.

Astrological Reasoning For Chandra Grahan


According to Astrology, Chandra grahan takes place whenever Rahu or Ketu are in conjunction with Sun or Moon. On this day, people with Chandra grahan or Kaal-sarp yog in their horoscope can get rid of all the evil effects of these malefic combination with the help of a good astrologer.

Why Are Temples Closed During Chandra Grahan?


Matsya Purana says that during the battle between Devas (Gods) and Asuras (Demons), the Asuras made an agreement with the Devas according to which they had to churn the Ocean of Milk to attain Amrit which had the magical properties of making them immortal. On the command of Lord Vishnu, the Devas agreed. While churning the Ocean of Milk many valuable things came out, which were taken by the Devas. Along with those valuable things came out halal poison also which was drunk by Lord Shiva in order to save the universe. After the churning was over, the accumulated Amrit was collected in a pot. The Asuras then asked for the share of Amrit to make themselves immortal. Seeing this, Lord Vishnu felt the danger and to prevent it he descended on Earth in the Mohini avatar. The Devas and the Asuras were mesmerized by the beauty of Mohini and they handed over the pot of Amrit. She promised to distribute it equally between the devas and asuras. However, this was exactly not her plan and whenever came the turn of an Asura she would turn the Amrit into ordinary water. Rahu sensed something fishy and turned himself into a Deva to have the Amrit. Just when Rahu was about to swallow the amrit, Sun and Moon Gods saw his play and informed Mohini about it. Mohini cut off Rahu’s head before he could swallow the Amrit. Rahu’s head by that time had tasted the Amrit and had become immortal. This is the reason why Rahu devours the Sun and Moon causing the Solar and Lunar eclipse. 

For this reason, the temples are closed during grahan so as to avoid any evil to affect the purity of the deities.

With the help of this service, we will be able to figure out the exact birth time. Many new parents who have welcomed their new bundle of joy into their life want to know what future is in store for their kid.

So, to fix this exact glitch, we have come up with this amazing service, which will be able to find out the birth time. This will be done with the help of some important information like major events of the life and the approximate date and time this event took place; for example - birthdate, date of marriage, first employment (for career related predictions) and so on.

Once upon a time, there ruled a noble king in the state of Bengal who promised his artisans that if any of object made by them remains unsold, he would buy them. Once it happened and an idol of Goddess Alakshmi (Goddess of Poverty) made by one of his artisans remained unsold and as per the promise made, the king bought it and placed it in his temple. As a result, wealth and prosperity left the kingdom of the king as Goddess Lakshmi and Alakshmi cannot reside together. The king was surprised and went to Lord Dharma for help. Lord Dharma suggested him that his wife (queen) should perform the Kojagiri Lakshmi Vrat on the full Moon night of the Ashwin month. The queen observed the fast and performed the rituals due to which the idol of Goddess Alakshmi melted away and Goddess of prosperity, Goddess Lakshmi remained back in the kingdom.
