Astrology Has The Power To Affect Our Lives Directly: Usha Saxena

AstroSage is once again back with an interview of an expert astrologer. Today, we will talk to our expert astrologer ‘Usha Saxena’. The lady with expertise in countless fields, be it career, marriage, education, health, gemstones, or Muhurats. So, what are we waiting for? Let’s begin...

हिन्दी में पढ़ने के लिए यहाँ क्लिक करें…

Q#1: How did you get interested in astrology initially? What made you come into the field of astrology as a profession?

Astrology is the science of intangible questions of unknown and unpredictable situations. Why is it so, what will happen tomorrow - these are the common questions everybody wants to know about. As far as I am concerned - how I got interested in astrology - we have to go back a few years. "bookworm" is the word which describes me best as it suits me well (Jupiter in fifth house, Saturn in ascendant). With the age, my subjects of interest got changed and my focus shifted to philosophy, homeopathy and astrology (Jupiter in fifth house, all these subjects are indicated by Jupiter). With the time, people got to know about my interest in astrology and they started coming to me asking for advice. When my predictions proved to be accurate and number of people approaching me for solutions started increasing, it greatly boosted my level of confidence. To continue with this work smoothly, some discipline was necessary and, therefore, I took it as my profession sincerely.

Q#2: What astrological system do you use and why?

I use Vedic Astrology, as it is the base of every other astrology system.

Q#3: Any incident related to astrology in your life or your prediction, which created impact and that you want to share with our readers?

I would like to share an astrological incident related to me. Around 30 years ago, an astrologer from Agra predicted after considering my Kundli (birth chart), “Why is she not in the astrology field? She would have made a big name for herself if she was in this field.” And it’s true that my interest grew more in astrology after it and my efforts toward mastering it increased.

Talking about any of the predictions made by me, which proved right, would be vanity. However, there is an incident that can help understand the accuracy of astrology. In 2008 while on my way to America, I met a very popular woman. She continued talking to me during the whole journey. During the conversation, she mentioned that she was very upset about her son who had left home because of his girlfriend. She gave me his birth-details and after going through his Kundli after 3-4 days, I assured her that her son would come back to her as the relation between him and his girlfriend has no future. After few days, she called me and informed that the girl had died due to some health issues. I didn’t get a chance to analyze the girl's birth-chart. That lady, after some time, got me interviewed on “Voice of America” radio-station.

Q#4: What are your suggestions for budding astrologers or for those who’re interested in this subject?

A piece of advice from my side for the people who are interested in astrology or are looking forward to pursue it as a career - astrology needs very profound study and one should take it quite seriously in order to advise people correctly as it has the power to directly affect others’ lives. And, therefore, one might charge for rendering one’s services, but one should never prescribe remedies just for the sake of making more money. Do not confuse people and spread superstitions.

Q#5: According to you, which are the best astrology books that one should read?

To build a strong foundation, the best books referred are the astrological classics such as Phaladeepika and Saravali etc. These are the must-read texts. If you develop sound understanding of underlying astrological principles, you will be able to tread the right path later.

Q#6: What would you like to say to the users of AstroSage.com?

To all the AstroSage readers, I want to say that many changes and developments are taking place, several researches are being carried out in astrology with the changing time. Even more research is required. Keep a scientific view toward astrology and then accept it; do not accept is as a superstition.

वेदस्य चक्षु: किल शास्त्रवेतत प्रधानत अंगेषुयुक्ता ।
अंगेंन्यर्तोन्येरपि पूर्णमूर्ति चक्षुर्विना क: पुरुषत्वमेति ॥

Vedasya Chakshuh Kil Shastravetat Pradhanat Angeshuyukta |
Angenyartonyerapi Purnamurti Chakshurvina Kah Purushatwameti ||

So, this was how and when astrologer Usha Saxena entered into the field of astrology. We hope, this interview has inspired you to know more about astrology.

AstroSage Predicted Fall Of AAP Government On December 28, 2013

Breakdown of Arvind Kejriwal’s government is not surprising, AstroSage had already predicted this day in advance. On AstroSage, we had made this prediction on December 28, 2013. We didn’t stop there. On December 29, 2013 and January 18, 2014, we predicted the future of AAP again. 

Arvind Kejriwal, along with his entire cabinet, resigned on February 14, 2014. After 49 days of taking charge of the minority Delhi government, the MLA’s of BJP and Congress demolished his dream of bringing Jan Lokpal Bill. It would have cleaned the corruption at top official positions. AstroSage already knew that this day will come. Hence, we had made several predictions to indicate. Let’s have a look at them.

At first, AstroSage predicted this day on December 28, 2013 here - Future Of Kejriwal & AAP

In this prediction, we had predicted the formation of a very strong malefic conjunction of planets, which were really harmful for Arvind Kejriwal.

“Exalted Saturn is posited with Rahu in eighth house along with Moon. Interestingly, this Yoga indicates Vishkumbha and signifies that the native is possessed by a demon. It also creates Balarishta Yoga that is considered very dangerous.”

We had already predicted that the government of AAP won’t last long.

“Everything points toward a short stint for him in the government that may not be more than 6 months. Stars indicate that the government may lose the confidence of the house in 12, 18, 19 days or in 6 months at most...”

We had also stated the party will also face stability issue.

“New Delhi is the capital of India and, therefore, political stability is pivotal for national capital. However, position of planets seems adverse to stability…

...All in all, we can say that the present Delhi government is going to enjoy only a short tenure.”

After that, on December 29, 2013, AstroSage came again with a detailed prediction. In which, we showed the planetary conjunctions that can bring downfalls. You can read this prediction here - Oath Of Kejriwal - Fate Of AAP

Here, we predicted that AAP’s government will see a downfall pretty soon.

“According to Astrology, contribution of Saturn and Rahu in creating wonders cannot be denied. If these planets take a person to new heights, they also show the dips.”

“...If this is true then AAP could witness downfall with the same speed as it rose high...”

In this article, AstroSage had also cited the reason of Kejriwal’s resignation.

“...Ascendant-lord and tenth-lord, Jupiter are posited in fourth house, in the sign of Mercury; and Mercury in this chart is quite malefic. Not only this, it is situated with Sun (Lord of sixth house) in tenth house. Thus, enmity is seen from all ends. His opponents i.e. Congress & BJP won’t let him work properly. 

...As Congress is giving so-called support, but trying to judge and trouble AAP in reality; similar signals are being catched from Mercury. Hence, Congress should be considered by Mercury from this chart. This party can make AAP go fanatic because Mercury signifies mind and afflicted Mercury may disturb mental balance.”

AstroSage has once again proved its excellence in the field of astrology. With our astrological analysis, we put our endeavor to help you prepare in advance for the upcoming adventures of future. We are thankful to all our readers who give us confidence by giving a fabulous response, and our astrologers who put all their efforts to make such predictions.

Secret To Make Valentine’s Day 2014 Successful

Valentine’s Day in 2014 is no more a mystery for you. This 14th of February, the love life expert astrologer of AstroSage, Pt. Hanumman Mishra has brought you the astrological predictions for this beautiful day of love. So, plan your Valentine’s Day in advance with these predictions.

For Indians, every day is a Valentine's Day. All of us try to take our each relation as if every day is the Valentine’s Day. But, day-by-day, we are getting so much busy in our lives that we fail in giving our loved ones the desired time. In foreign countries, to deal with this, people celebrate ‘Valentine’s Day’. As India is getting influenced by these countries; therefore, the impact of this day has increased here. While some people like the traditions of this day, others oppose it. But, I am in favor of both the admirers and opponents of this day.

If you are planning to propose someone this Valentine's Day i.e. on February 14, 2014; it is very important for you to know the result of your proposal. Also, you should know the do’s and don’ts of this day. The reason behind is that that living with a depressed mind is not easy. Taking the right decision on this Valentine's Day will help you in living a happy life with your partner.

Valentine’s Day 2014 Horoscope

Aries: This Valentine's Day, Moon is in your 4th house. If you are planning to propose someone who is in your familial relation, your decision will prove favorable. However, ascendant lord is posited in 7th house along with Saturn and Rahu; therefore, make sure that your decision does not give rise to conflicts. Position of 5th house lord in 11th house will boost your confidence for proposing your sweetheart. Along with other presents, don’t forget red and yellow flowers to gift your Valentine. 

Taurus: Moon is posited in your 3rd house. You will be quite excited to meet your Valentine. But, due to position of Venus in 8th house, you may feel that you are not looking that attractive on this Valentine's Day. The person you will choose today may prove to be a good life partner. Also, he/she will prove helpful to your work front. However, Saturn’s aspect over Moon may give some mental stress. 5th house lord is retrograde and combust, due to which you may have to put more efforts in expressing yourself. Just for the sake of fun and joy, don't say anything that may hurt the other person. Along with other surprises, don’t forget a perfume in green bottle to gift your Valentine. 

Gemini: On this Valentine’s Day, you may get success in finding a person with whom you can spend the rest of your life. Position of Moon in your 2nd house is indicating that you are planning to gift something really expensive to your Valentine. Venus, being the lord of 5th house, is situated in its own constellation; therefore, you will get success in impressing your Valentine. However, due to the position of malefic planets in your 5th house, you need to keep a watch over your speech and control your temper. Along with other gifts, make sure to surprise your Valentine with perfume in blue bottle. 

Cancer: On this Valentine’s Day, Moon is situated in your 1st house; therefore, you will get happiness. But, the position of the lord of the 5th house in 4th house along with malefic planets may indicate that your Valentine is having some anxiety. He/She might be desiring to be with a wrong person. However, if you are interested in marrying that person, the conjunction of 5th house lord and 7th house lord may not give above mentioned results, rather it will help you in marrying your Valentine. This means that keeping patience will yield favorable results. Along with other gifts, add a red dress. 

Leo: Moon is posited in your 12th house on this Valentine's Day. This situation is not considered favorable. If you are trying to get into a relationship just for the sake of fun, it would be better to change your mind. Because, if you acted patiently with pure feelings, you may get an amazing life partner. Jupiter, being the 5th house lord, is aspecting 5th house from 11th house and Venus is situated in 5th house. Therefore, you may get good results. But, due to the aspect of Saturn, even a little carelessness may connect you with a wrong person. Hence, take decision with patience. On this Valentine's Day, make sure to gift yellow color dress to your Valentine. 

Virgo: This valentine day will be quite memorable for you. If you are still single and planning to propose someone, this decision will prove quite favorable. Good news is that the person whom you are interested in, is also interested in you. Your Valentine will prove to be lucky for you. However, some dispute is possible if your valentine is from your work front or belongs to the family of a close relative. Along with other presents, gift your Valentine a shiny dress of blue color. 

Libra: This Valentine's Day, Moon is posited in your 10th house and is being aspected by Saturn, the 5th house lord. Hence, if you are planning to propose someone who belongs to your workplace, it will be a good decision. However, if you are planning to indulge in more than one relationship, it won't prove good for you. In that condition, you may lose the real love and may opt a wrong person. Also, if you are starting a relation in lust, it won't prove favorable either. With other gifts, you should surprise your Valentine with perfume in a blue bottle. 

Scorpio: Moon is posited in your 9th house. If your Valentine is living far away from you, you should try to meet him/her. If you are going to travel to meet your Valentine, it will be favorable to you. You may get a new proposal which may prove quite fortunate for you. However, if you had an affair in your past, you may face some problems due to the one. It would be better to either accept that relation completely or leave it for ever. The person you will choose today will not only prove lucky for you, but will also prove to be a good life partner. Surprise your Valentine with red and yellow flowers bouquet along with other presents. 

Sagittarius: If you are planning to find a love interest, who you are willing to make your life partner too, you will get success. However, position of Moon in 8th house may give you a feeling of insecurity. If you are facing any differences with your Valentine, this is the right time to sort those issues with love. It is important to take care of your Valentine’s feelings. This Valentine’s Day, gift a red dress wrapped in a yellow packet to your Valentine. 

Capricorn: You will get happiness on this Valentine’s Day. Personality of your Valentine will be very attractive, but he/she might be a little stubborn. Due to the position of 9th house lord in 2nd house, you family will accept your Valentine quite easily. If you try to control your temper, you can resolve the existing differences between you and your Valentine. Behave accordingly, keeping all these things in mind. To improve your relation, gift your valentine a perfume in blue bottle. 

Aquarius: Moon is posited in your 6th house on this Valentine’s Day. Mercury, the 5th house lord is situated on ascendant. 5th house is getting effects of benefic planets; therefore, you will get good results. You will get someone as per your expectations. He/she will take care of your feelings. However, doubting his/her character may develop differences in your relation. If you are attached with more than one person, it may harm you. With the effects of benefic planets, try to choose the best person from all of them for lifetime. Doing so will fetch prosperity in your life. Presenting perfume in a green bottle will strengthen your love bond. 

Pisces: On this Valentine’s Day, Moon is posited in your 5th house. This means that either you have more than one options, as your Valentine or you may get more than one proposals. It would be good if you take the best decision. Taking right decision on this Valentine’s Day will bless you with a person for a long term relationship. If you are planning to go somewhere with your Valentine, your wish is likely to get fulfilled. This Valentine’s Day, along with other gifts, don’t forget to gift your valentine a red and yellow colored dress wrapped in white packet.
