“Sade Sati” is an astrological time that many people are trained to fear. Saturn takes 2.5 years to transit from one sign. Sade Sati refers to a 7 ½ year period when the planet Saturn crosses over the sign prior to one’s Moon Sign, the Moon sign, and one sign afterwards. The reason this time is feared is that the Moon and Saturn are considered enemies. The Moon is the quickest changing “planet” in our sky. Every day it displays a new Moon phase and completes one journey through the sky in approximately 28 days. Saturn on the other hand, is the slowest of all the planets. He is in no rush. Saturn in comparison is timeless and firm and “heavy” in the sense when he makes a change, it tends to be more deeply grounded.

One analogy is that Saturn builds coliseums and pyramids, structures that last for thousands of years and used by many; whereas the Moon creates something like a tent that can be erected for personal use for one night, and then moved. The Moon also signifies one’s mind and emotions. The sign that one’s Moon is in, describes the type of operating system that you have come in with. For instance, an Aries Moon will give one, a different mental operating system than someone with a Leo Moon sign.

“If I have to recommend one solution for every one of our problems, be it financial, relationship or health, it is doing Tarpanam (offerings to the ancestors). Miracles do happen after the performance of the rituals.”
– Dattatreya Siva Baba.

The Uniqueness of the 2 Weeks called as “Mahalaya”
The earth plane is not all that bad. It was designed as a laboratory for the evolution of the souls. Even great enlightened beings who turned their body into light visit the earth with their light body on a daily basis. All our ancestors come and stay on the earth plane for 15 days in a year. During these fifteen days they stay in your body, mind and soul and can change all three positively. Not even Gods can do what the ancestors can do for you. In fact, Gods ask you to go through your ancestors.

Last year in 2008, I had the great good fortune to be in Chennai to see the clay Ganeshas at Baba’s ashram assembled for Ganesha’s birthday and to help prepare them for the pooja.

First, I was surprised at their size. They were much larger than I expected. I has sponsored them in the past from overseas, I had the mental picture they would be tiny, and these were a good size and required care in handling.

Next, I was surprised how exciting it was to see over 350 Ganeshas lined up. The staff had arranged them very neatly and precisely. There was an air of anticipation, preparation and happiness.

I was impressed at the detailing of the clay Ganeshas.. The features were carefully chiseled out, so the eyes, the trunk, the face, the torso, everything was clear to see.

This is precisely why we are Creating an Event that has never taken place in the history of mankind for our beloved Lord Ganesha’s birthday, “Ganesha Chaturthi”, on August 23rd!

It does not matter what has been stopping your prosperity, happy relationships or your perfect health. Lord Ganesha will remove all obstructions in your path towards fulfillment.

This month we are celebrating Ganesha Chaturthi (Birthday) Worldwide for the whole world to see and benefit. This has never been done before. What better way to bring.

delight to this Diety than for us to Create a LIVE Broadcast for 3 Days of a Homa(Fire Ritual) and Pooja for everyone to witness and you are invited. The positive Intentions and consciousness behind these 3 days are astronomical.

How to Interpret Your Own Fifth House

Summary of the Steps: It’s Easy!
In order to help you understand the nature of your relationship with God, Intelligence & Children, we will walk you through a few steps. First you will learn what Sign is your 5th House and how that sign affects your creativity, children, learning and other 5th house indicators, such as romance, intelligence, destiny, business speculations, politics and mantras. Then, we will get more specific in accessing your 5th House by examining the planets placed in that house, and also where the “ruler” of your Fifth House is placed. This will all be very easy to do. Finally, we will test your knowledge with a Quiz using Oprah Winfrey’s chart.

Step1:
First, you need to know what your 5th House sign is. To do this:

1. Log into Astroved
2. Run the “Chart Report”
3. On the chart, it will indicate your 5th House with the number 5 in the box. The blue letters in the same box indicate the Sign. For your reference the abbreviated sign names are listed below.

Vishnupati is a divine time capsule of around 9 hours, when miracles happen. This celestial event happens on August 17th. You get only four such rare opportunities to add abundant merit to your karmic balance sheet. Even Celestials eagerly wait for that time period to realize unlimited merit. Vishnupati is one of the best times for charity, feeding, rituals, poojas, tarpan and singing the praise of the Lord.

You may be aware of how powerful the Eleventh Moon (or Ekadasi) rituals are. As per Siddhas, poojas done during Vishnupati are equivalent to delivering merit that is equivalent to several years of Ekadasi poojas. This is the significance and key to abundance that is present during Vishnupati rituals.

Raise Your Financial Kundalini on Krishna’s Birthday To make this Vishnupati even more exciting is that Lord Krishna’s birthday occurs on August 13th. This event acts as a perfect precursor to Vishnupati and is a time for unlimited energy and innovation.

God, Grace, Children and Higher Intelligence

What is the 5th House?
In the House 4 Makeover, we covered happiness, heart and mother. Now, House 5 covers primarily your relationship to God, intelligence, children, spiritual learning and destiny, as well as writing, business undertakings and past life merits.

Signs on the other hand are filters that color how the Houses and planets behave. This newsletter will cover the sign of Leo, which is considered the natural 5th House of the Zodiac. That means that the sign of Leo naturally colors things in line with the qualities of the 5th House.

Let us begin by covering the general characteristics of the 5th house and what they influence in your life. Then in the 2nd week, we show you how to examine your own chart (and others) and find which planets are influencing your 5th house. As we progress through the final 2 weeks, you will be guided through a powerful meditation and transformation workshop that will enable you to empower your relationship with God in the manner you desire. Your own personal 5th House is the subject of the next newsletter.
