The Moon represents our mind. As the Moon passes through different phases, it correspondingly influences our state of mind. Therefore, if we are mindful of its phases, we can make the Moon the mistress of our mind.

As per astrology, the Moon has more magnetic power than the Sun. The significance and energy of Moon determines the power of mind. The Moon is the vehicle of the mind that receives the light from the Sun or soul. The movements of the Moon determine our moods and capacities of our mind. When we become aware of these movements, we can work with the fluctuating influences to our favor and benefit. To accomplish this, we must be aware of the Moon’s different phase energies made available.

If the below mention qualities are related to you, then you are suffering from Kala Sarpa Yoga.

Father is a significant concept. He stands for the person who caused our birth and the one who took endless pains to make us what we are today. Fathers’ Day is celebrated to honor the deeds of every father or father figure in this world. It is an opportunity to every one of us to reciprocate our love and care to our father.

Gifting him, exchanging a warm hug or simply spending time with him on the day can do wonders in a father-son or daughter relationship. Although it is celebrated on various dates worldwide, many countries including India observe this day on the third Sunday during the month of June.

Vaikasi Visakam also spelled as Vaikasi Vishaka is the grand celebration of Lord Muruga’s Birthday in the Vedic month of Vaikasi (Mid May – June) when Vishakha Star rules (Libra). Vaikasi Visakam is observed in a grand manner in all Murugan temples across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and other countries like Singapore, Malaysia, etc. This Year Vaikasi Visakha occurs on June 13th which opens a great window opportunity to gain the blessings of Lord Muruga for a strengthened and successful life.

The Star “Vishaka” is considered to be very auspicious, as most of the saints like Siddha, Munivar, Gyanikal, gurus, geniuses and great people like Buddha have born in this Star. Lord Muruga born in this Star is referred to as Gnyana Pandita(Gyanam), which denotes the authority on wisdom.

Lord Muruga was divinely created when a power was needed to rescue humanity from the demon Surapadman who was wreaking havoc on the earth plane. Lord Muruga also known as Skanda or Karthikeya, is known for courage, beauty and intelligence. He is the source of ‘Om’ and He blesses with health, wealth and knowledge. He has the power of 3 Goddesses – Parvati’s courage, Lakshmi’s wealth and Saraswati’s knowledge.

Saturn also known as Shani Dev or Shani Graha is the most important planet in Vedic horoscope. Moreover, He is also considered to be the most powerful planet amongst all the astrological planets. Saturn governs fear and as He is the planet of trials and tribulations, He limits what one does by acting as a resistance against his or her best efforts. This powerful planet Saturn is transiting in Virgo on June 13th.

Virgo rules clarity, prejudice and lends the ability to pay attention to details. So the timing of Saturn’s transit in Virgo makes this the most conducive time to start planning and to strategizing your present and future tasks in life.

It is also symbolic of the refinement process of sensitivity and making decisions based on sound logical thought processes and reason. Saturn direct in Virgo is probably one of the easier Saturn influences to work with, since the planet feels relatively at ease in the Earth signs.

Venus rules the 2 mighty signs; Libra and Taurus. In the upcoming transit, Venus, the planet that signifies our sense of pleasure for good and beauty in all forms of harmony as well as wealth will be entering its own sign of Taurus on June 4th, 2011 and will stay there till June 29th.

Venus governs romance, harmony and integration, pleasure, luxury & abundance of wealth, etc and Taurus, which is the second sign of the natural zodiac, governs possessions and material prosperity. It is believed that when a planet transits into its own sign the energies that the planet emits will be extreme!
