    Rare Planetary Alignment this Feb: Magickal Advise for the remaining Year

    A rare planetary parade is expected with visibility of many planets this month specifically by 28th February, brining the significance of planets back into focus. But what does the placement of planets or Sun and Moon and their movements and eclipses mean to you?

    Most people look to western astrology for answers of what each month or year will bring. But did you know that the placement of celestial bodies through the zodiac bands in the sky vary quite a bit as per western and Vedic astrological calculations? In short western calculations and sun signs or star sign reports are highly inaccurate because the actual position of planets in the sky is more in line with sidereal astrology owing to a correction based on the precession of the equinoxes over the centuries, although western astrologers use the outdated ephemeris erroneously.

    If you go as per ancient Vedic Astrology, the analysis of moon and other bodies would be much more a reflection of the actual position of the same as viewed from earth astronomically. Based on Vedic transits of the Moon and other celestial bodies, I have prepared a list of celestial events of magical significance as outlined below along with a brief overview explained on the next page to help you manifest a better reality and banish unwanted energy.

  • You Are NOT a Zodiac

    You Are NOT a Zodiac

    Perhaps you were born at hhmmss time on ddmmyyyy date at xyz location. Does this mean you are an Arian, Cancerian, Capricornian…etc etc for life?
    Just how important is your sunsign or moon rashi?
    How about your ascendent or rising sign?
    And yes, your jupiter, venus, saturn, mars, pluto, rahu, ketu, neptune, uranus, mercury….what about those zodiacs. Are the signs these other planets occupy somewhat less important in determining your personality than your sun, moon and ascendent? Probably not. People are complex after all, are they not?

    So what is your zodiac? Is your personality a Taurus because its your western sunsign, or a Scorpio because its your vedic moon rashi….or should you refer to the horoscope of Gemini as its your vedic ascendent….are you all of these….or are you somewhat an Aquarius too because most of the other planets seem to be in Aquarius in your vedic chart….or should you consider your western chart too just to be on the safer side….and discover you are also a Cancer rising to an extent…..oh dear…what is actually your zodiac?

    The answer is none. Yes, none of these zodiacs are you. No one zodiac can ever truly be you.

    Try this, try believing you are a zodiac other than your birth sign of sun, moon, ascendent, etc….try. Really…really…really… believe it. Then read the horoscope of that zodiac regularly. Chances are….as time goes by you will program yourself to become that zodiac..and perhaps….someday……you will agree with those predictions too. Trust me.

    You are what you think you are.
    You are what you believe.
    You become what you want.
    You are unlimited.
    You are every zodiac, and at the same time…
    You are NOT a zodiac
    At least not NOW in the PRESENT moment

    Your birthchart or horoscope shows the karma you inherited from your past lives till your birth. The most important thing I teach my astrology students is simply this:
    Your horoscope or birthchart has just one use…to show you your limitations …those you imposed on yourself so far through all your lifetimes… and the ways (spells and inner work or unprogramming) needed to get rid of all limitations.

    Yes you were born with sun in a zodiac, moon in b, ascendent c, jupiter in d…and so on and so forth. You were born at hhmmss time and ddmmyyyy date at xyz location.
    And then something wonderful happened somewhere down the line after you were born.
    You grew up (i certainly hope you did)
    You acquired free will (at least some of you)
    You learnt how to use your mind (more or less)
    And whether or not you noticed it, your mind created your life all this while. And your mind, whether or not it be limited by your past, your horoscope, your birth sign, your preconcieved notions about who you are…will create whatever you believe to be you and your life.
    If you believe you are poor, you will continue to be. If you believe you are clever you will be. If you believe you are emotional you will be. Your personality and life experiences are all about those deeply ingrained beliefs you hold on to so preciously.

    No matter how deep the conditioning, no matter how strong the cords of karma, you can stop being a puppet of your past. Your beliefs limited you so far. All of them. Whether good or bad, no matter how attached you are to them, they are your beliefs and not the real you. Just merely, although importantly, they are beliefs.

    And if you ever wanted to toss them all out of the window…and it maybe a good idea to try doing that for once (by learning the right way of tossing them out)…..you just might be able to experience who you truly are meant to be :
    Free.

    Learn how to really read your horoscope, if only to figure out how to attain freedom from the same.
    Be not a slave to fate.
    Be a witch.
    Because you really are not a zodiac.

    Blessed be
