However, the daily forecast sometimes proves correct and sometime fails to pin point
the real happenings. The reason is obvious: it is prepared on raw grounding; i.e. it is
generally hinged upon 12 Sun signs (tropical zodiac). In contrast to western
astrology, Indian astrology is far potent in predicting life events (whether, periodical,
yearly, monthly or daily) with greater exactitude. This does not entail that western
astrology is of lesser caliber or inferior than Indian astrology. No way. Western
parishioners evolved tropical forecasting system in terms of character reading,
psychological traits, and the extant of free will. On the other hand, Indian or Hindu
astrologers have been focusing concrete aspects of life in terms of fate for
millenniums, for astrology is a part and parcel of daily life in Indian sub continent.
Here a person is more concerned whether blah blah matter will occur or not. The
native beneath the eastern side of sky does not much bother psychological patterns
or personality types. So is the case with daily forecast. An eastern man is often
anxious to know whether today’s meeting will be fruitful, will I talk to boss about
new project or not, is today good for submitting an important application form,
should I visit home of in-laws today etc. In short, his/her concerns usually revolve
around practical and somewhat deterministic approach of life.
Coming to the subject of blog: make your daily horoscope yourself. The first
question arises about the prerequisite. A little understanding about the fundamental
of vedic astrology and daily planetary positions are enough to forecast your
horoscope, provided you are aware of your natal chart. If the essentials of astrology
is Greek to you then better is to leave this write-up at this stage. Now I enlist some
steps before going into detail.
1) Mark your Janma Rasi (natal Moon sign) and Janma Nakshatra (natal Moon
constellation).
2) Figure out running good and bad trends in your birth chart.
3) List the gochar i.e. transit of planets for a desired day or week via ephemeris or
any astrology software.
Here natal or radical Moon is considered as reference point for reckoning transit. The
reason being one’s daily life is primarily motivated by mental makeup, which is
signified by the natal Moon’s sign and nakshatra at the time of birth. The transit with
respect to Janma Lagna (natal ascendant) may indicate an event from mundane
perspective, and transit with respect to a karaka from a certain person’s perspective
indicated by karaka. But it is only Janma Rasi and Janma Nakshatra that unveil our
very personal mood and level of satisfaction. Suppose, a planetary transit with
respect to Janma Lagna (natal ascendant) is showing ‘happiness’, but if the very
transiting planet (or another planet) does not sojourn into favourable house with
respect to Janma Rasi (natal Moon) then native can not enjoy that happiness. It is
the mind that enables one to feel happiness and hardship.
Before going to judge the daily transit effects, it is necessary to weigh the good and
bad running trends in life. This can be judge from on-going maha and antar dasas
and also from on-going transit of Saturn and Jupiter. The reason is obvious, a daily
forecast can not supersede annual or periodical trend. During a favourable dasa, a
good daily transit manifests in its full, while a bad daily transit feels slightly. On the
other hand, during an unfavourable dasa, a good daily transit hardly manifests its
promising effect, while a bad daily transit hits the native more than usual intensity.
Secondly, innate life pattern can also be seen from disposition of the planets in birth
chart. Every expert and amateur of astrology is aware of the strong and weak aspect
of life. And this disposition surely modifies daily transit effect. Say, a person has
strong 4th house, and well disposed 4th lord and karaka, then unfavourable transit
of Moon in 4th house will not much hit the native. Take another example, if someone
has afflicted 10th house and weak 10th lord in birth chart, then transit of Moon in
10th house (that reoccurs every month) will not much benefit the native. Following
the same reason, a mixed dasa/antar with mediocre Saturn/Jupiter transits, leads to
average daily transit results. This is as simple as 2 plus 2 makes 4.
Technique to Apply
What planets one should consider for making daily forecast? Apparent reply would be
“ALL”. But classical jyotish cannons appear emphasizing on Moon for anything
related to happen on a certain day. My mentor also taught me another factor, which
has proved very efficacious in my practice, i.e. transit of the weekday lord. If one is
looking for daily forecast on Thursday, then analyze transit of Jupiter along with
Moon. If one is eager to know how will prove coming Friday then analyze transit of
Venus along with Moon, and so on. On Monday, double the weight of Moon transit or
add Sun with it. In short, a day is favourable when both the following conditions
meet.
The secondary consideration is the transit of Moon into various nakshatra taras. A
belt of 360 degree is divided into 9 types of nakshatra tara. Starting from one’s natal
lunar constellation, they are: 1) Janma, 2) Sampat, 3) Vipat, 4) Kshema, 5) Pratyak,
6) Sadhana, 7) Naidhana, 8) Mitra, and 9) Adimitra. Out of these 9 taras; Sampat,
Kshema, Sadhana, Mitra and Adimitra are considered auspicious, and rest are
inauspicious.

The transitory result (good or bad) over Janma Nakshatra (radical lunar asterism) is
somewhat disputed. I have observed that planets (especially malefic planets) yield
adverse result when transiting through pada (quarter) of Janma Nakshatra (natal
lunar constellation). Janma Nakshatra Pada or Charan is the position similar to the
rasi and navamsa of natal Moon. Yet, there are some authorities who assume Janma
Nakshatra as a favourable place. On the other hand, there is consensus about rest of
all nakshatra taras and houses. JHora, Parashar Light and other software provide list
of all nakshatra taras in natal chart and also transit of Moon and other planets in
these nakshatra taras.
Now take an example. Suppose a female is born with Moon in 27Pi40, then her
Janma Rasi will be Pisces and Janma Nakshatra will be Revati. If she is eager to
know how Wednesday August 4, 2010 (South Asia) will prove for her then keeping in
view the yearly and monthly trend, we should first concentrate on transit of Moon in
sign and nakshatra and then for Mercury which is weekday lord of Wednesday whose
forecast is needed. Since on the mentioned day, transit Moon is in Taurus – 3rd from
radical Pisces – therefore it is auspicious. The very transiting Moon is in Kritika
nakshatra – in Kshema i.e. 4th tara from radical Janma Nakshatra – therefore it is
again favourable. So transit of Moon is completely beneficial both sign-wise and
constellation-wise. Now coming to second factor i.e., weekday lord. Since August 4,
2010 falls on Wednesday, therefore, we should judge transit of Mercury with respect
to natal Moon sign (Pisces here). On August 4, 2010, Mercury was sojourning into
Leo – 6th from Pisces – and hence very favourable. So combining the effect of transit
Moon and transit weekday lord Mercury, we will deduct that Wednesday August 4,
2010 will be very auspicious for native with optimum results of Moon in 3rd and
Mercury in 6th house.
Here a point is to keep in mind that astrological definition of day is different from
general practice. In all astrological calculations, a day always begins with sunrise
(and not on 12 midnight) and ends at the next sunrise. So in above example, August
4, 2010 from midnight to early morning, the weekday lord will be Mars, rather
Mercury.
Modifying Factors
Above is a coarse way of analysis. With experience you will able to blend other
modifying factors or catalysts and deduct refine results. Some of the well known
catalysts in transit include;
a) Vedha
b) Ashtakavarga
c) Mutual planetary relations in transit
d) Planetary transit results from other natal reference points
e) Panoti or Murthi
f) Strength of transiting planets
g) Dispositor of transiting planet(s)
But at this initial stage, I have not touched any of the above modifying elements, as
every factor is itself a detailed subjects. Blending all these modifying factors is a
tough job and may mess up one’s analysis. One can not analyze and synthesize the
verdict without properly using reason, experience and intuition.
About Vedha, it should not forget that it can not entirely delete the transit result.
Vedha has the capacity to strengthen or weaken the intensity of transitory effect of a
planet. Moreover, vedha functions only when vedha-causing planet should stronger
than transiting planets. This point is often neglected by most of us.
Similar is the case of Ashtakavarga. In natal chart, the dots and dashes form a nexus
of supporting harmony with respect to 8 different reference points. A house with
smart number of digits in SAV (sarvashtakavarga) does not mean that no malefic
transit can yield harmful result there. In reality, such a pregnant sign in SAV has the
potential to abate the feared evil effect up to certain extant. Remember higher SAV
points can not completely convert a bad house effect into good one. But too high or
too low SAV may act as powerful modifying agent. Too low (lesser than 20 points in
SAV) may mar the potential of a sign. Transit of favrouable Moon in that sign does
not produced good effect, even if it is 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th or 11th from natal
Moon. Similarly, too high points in SAV may augment the strength of a rasi that an
evil transit of Moon in it (especially in 4th, 8th or 12th) does not harm the native. On
the other hand, various criteria of Ashtakavarga functions well for the transit of
Saturn and Jupiter. On the other hand, concept of Murthi or Panothi yoga works well
for judging the potential of 2-½ year transit of Saturn. It hardly amends daily transit
results.
But above all, mutual placement of transiting planets casts significant effect on
aggregate gocharphalam. In other words, how a certain transiting planet getting
favours of other transiting planet. According to this principle, natural benefic planets
(in transit) in 2nd, 4th, 5th and 9th, and natural malefic planets (in transit) in 3rd
and 6th with respect to transiting Moon (or any other transiting planet) boost its
potential. This methodology is also taught in some classical jyotish discourses. I will
highlight this topic soon as a separate article.
Here lunar nodes, i.e. Rahu and Ketu are not entitled any weekday lordship. The
often yields their benefic or malefic result on the day, ruled by the sign they are
transiting, or sometimes on Saturday and Tuesday respectively.
Day is one of the prime components of panchanga – five limbs of time for daily
consideration. Day or vaara is ruled by agni tattva i.e. element of fire and thus
signifies spirit, durability and longevity of any task. Oftentimes people appear afraid
of Tuesday and Saturday for natural malign characteristics of their lords. But if Mars
is going through a good house then your Tuesday will not ruined, if Saturday is
transiting into a favourable house then your Saturday will be quite fantastic.
Following is the results of Moon’s transit in different houses with respect to natal
Moon sign. For daily transit purpose, ‘sign’ and ‘house’ are considered identical.
However, transit of outer planets (Saturn, Jupiter, Mars) over or opposite to house
cusp (bhava madhya) markedly produce good/bad effect. But for Moon transit, it is
not relevant. The gist of given description is taken from classical texts, and expanded
in the light of my personal observation and experience.
Bhagya Uday – or a dawning of fortune is the result when Moon ingress into the sign,
occupied by radical Moon at birth. It will be a good day, if transit Moon is not in
Janma or Vipat nakshatra tara. You will hear any good news about yourself, whether
it is about home, profession, family, friends or money. Something favourable will
definitely manifest. You will feel more warm and more energetic with desirable meal
and clothes, especially when Moon is in Sampat nakshatra tara. However, Moon in
1st house in Janma Nakshatra (and especially on the charan/pada of natal Moon)
brings inner unrest, dissatisfaction, boredom or confused mental state. Experiment
it. The transit Moon stays about 6 hours in Pada of Janma Nakshatra. Otherwise
Moon in 1st house leads to all around success and happiness. One feels comfortable
in home and workplace. It is a good day to start a new venture or joining a social
forum. When weekday lord and Sun are also moving in favourable houses from natal
Moon, then transit of Moon in 1st house leads to excellent results concerning all
personal affairs. You will put on new or special clothes, have facial massage, hair
setting and perfume. There will be delight and satisfaction due to appearance before
group of friends. Walking, exercise and meditation will surely give you special benefit
during Moon transits in 1st house.
The 2nd Moon when simultaneously transits in bad nakshatra, hits domestic budget
and one’s diet. You will find unable to take your routine meal on time, or it will not
satiate your hunger and taste. If you are going to experiment any new restaurant
(during transit Moon is 2nd house and in bad nakshatra) then better is to postpone
the plan for next day. It will cost you high and please you least. Another significant
results about transit of Moon in 2nd house, classical texts accentuate is the dhana-
nasa i.e. loss of material possession. Obviously it does not connote that one will
loose his/her entire savings every month when Moon ingress into 2nd house. But it
will definitely yield some declining monetary trend on this day. Notice it, if you are a
shopkeeper, salesman or stock broker. The promised money you lent someone will
not return today. You may get a notice of delayed payment, additional charges or
problem in drawing cheques. House hold women will feel anxious about imbalance
domestic budget during Moon’s transit in 2nd house, especially in unwelcome
nakshatra. However, if said 2nd Moon is transiting in good nakshatra then it is a
good time to think about family matters and studying favourite subject. If 2nd Moon
is transiting into Sampat tara then you may expect slight monetary benefit, gain and
good meal with family members. But as a whole the day will be somewhat mixed.
Mixed trend suffers tiny issues and home chores. For example, you are tired and
need tea, but found that there is no tea in the tea-jar or fruits in fridge are getting
rotten etc.
This is an evil transit regarding mental peace, travel and personal comfort. A sense
of unease grips one’s mind during transit Moon in 4th house, especially in bad
nakshatra tara. For transit effect of 4th Moon, most of the classical jyotish texts
maintain bhay which means fear. In today’s context it may connotes mental unrest
and uneasiness. What kind of uneasiness is dependant upon radical planetary
disposition and zodiacal sign that corresponds to 4th house from natal Moon sign. So
avoid open competition, meeting with higher-ups, traveling alone or anything that
may indulge you in fear. One should also avoid visiting new places and meeting with
new relatives, otherwise failure and mental anguish will surely result. It is also an
unfavourable transit for dating. You may also stuck in the traffic jam, or you may get
late for college bus or office van. You may find a seat in bus/train/tube that is not at
all comfortable or too rushy. Don’t amaze if your car wheel gets puncture in middle
of the way or a taxi driver is sucking your mind. It’s all due to unwelcome transit of
Moon in 4th house. If you are young and have returned home late then ready for
scolding of parents. It is suggested to avoid arguing with elders. If you are
household then home cleaning and chores may render you tiresome. Nonetheless,
Moon in 4th house, simultaneously sojourning in favourable nakshatra, slightly calm
down the mentioned discomforts. Similarly, a strong natural benefic in 4th from
Moon in birth chart, mitigates bad effect of transit Moon in 4th house. In other
words, these unpleasing events may happen but substitute will be there for your
relief and rescue.
An admixture of good and bad but insignificant events are indicated when Moon
transits in 5th house, provided there is no planet in this house in birth chart. If
transit of 5th Moon simultaneously sojourns in bad nakshatra then slight
indisposition and disappointment may result. One should concentrate on routine
work without having much anticipation. Engaged couple engulfs in hopeless thought
while married couple finds anxiety concerning their kids, provided at the same time,
weekday lord is moving in bad house from natal Moon. Avoid advising anybody today
otherwise it will not be fruitful for both. Similarly, 5th-Moon transit in bad nakshatra
is unfavourable for buying lottery tickets and playing betting. Luck will not support
you, especially if there is a natural malefic in your 5th or 11th house in natal
horoscope. If you are a student, and transit Moon is going through 5th house in
Janma Nakshatra then you will notice lack of concentration and difficulty in
understanding today’s lecture. However, transit of Moon in 5th house and in good
nakshatra may make the day bit favourable but without any big achievement. It
sometimes yields good news about friends and siblings. Some traditional
practitioners hold that transit of 5th Moon does not harm mahurtha, if it crosses 15
degrees. Thus unavoidable meeting or travel is passable in later half of 5th house
transit Moon, provided weekday lord is also moving in good house. But, presence of
well-disposed natural benefic in 5th from Moon at the time of birth somehow
suggests a good day, when Moon transits over that benefic planet.
A fine day for all kinds of undertakings, when transit Moon is going through sampat
or sadhana nakshatra tara in 6th house. If you have been suffering from flu or cold
from couple of days ago, then take a final doze and get ready for work as disease
will probably wipe out today. This is a favourable day for working in team. Assisting
your mother or spouse in home will bring happiness in domestic affairs. This is also a
fruitful time to let your house or possession for rent. Transit of Moon in 6th house
also leads to success over rivals and enemies. If you are planning to practically
answer your competitors then it is a good time to attack. You will have an edge over
them. Beginning physical exercise and sporting practice cause good health. In fact,
there are bright chances of victory in games. However, transit of Moon in 6th house
and in evil nakshatra is not that much fruitful. It will be an average day with a focus
on servants, subordinates and pets. But during transit of Moon in 6th house in
unfavourable nakshatra tara, if lord of the weekday is also transiting in bad house
from natal Moon then stomach problem, misunderstanding with tenant and cousins
may occur.
This is a wonderful time for successful meeting, mating and business, as it brings
sukha i.e. happiness concerning all such activities. You will dine and dress well and
impress others with your conversation. In fact, it is a favourable day, for resolving
differences and disputes. Be elastic and balance, nothing will hinder you to achieve
success. Don’t surprise if you receive a sms or phone from your girl/boy friend
asking to have a date, provided Sun and weekday lord are simultaneously transiting
into good houses from radical Moon. Transit Moon in 7th also causes good return of
trade (vayapaara), so traveling for professional purpose, negotiating and selling
goods prove very favourable. If you are thinking to sell out your possession,
computer, mobile phone or vehicle etc., then negotiate with buyer on the day, when
Moon is transiting in 7th house in favourable nakshatra. It will give you optimum
return. A comfortable and peaceful travel may happen if Moon in 7th is in movable
signa and beneficial nakshatra tara. But Moon in 7th in evil nakshatra tara reduces
level of personal satisfaction. If there are natural malefic planets in 7th from radical
Moon in natal chart then emotional impulsiveness, misunderstanding with partner
and fruitless wandering may bring forth.
This transit of Moon leads to an average day with low profile and lethargy if 9th
house be vacant in birth chart. There will be feelings of bondage and stagnation.
Expecting desirable results from governmental sources or immediate boss is futile.
As a whole it neither yields significant favour nor disfavour. But if there is any
powerful benefic in 9th house from natal Moon at the time of birth, then transit Moon
in 9th (over that benefic planet) leads to some gain regarding signification of that
natal planet. Nonetheless, transit of Moon in 9th house, in Janma Nakshara, brings
lack of concentration and inner unrest. One finds unable to focus what he is reading,
writing and heeding. Similarly, traveling on the day, when transit Moon sojourns
Janma Nakshatra does not bear any desirable fruits. However, in good nakshatra
(mitra, atimitra or sampat) transit of Moon in 9th house does not give adverse
results. It is an average day with some favour from family and friends. There may be
sudden arrival of your sibling’s spouse or friends in home. Native’s father may come
across unexpected assignment or visit. Western practitioner assume 9th house for
travel. But journey happens only when running dasa/antar endorses it, or if Jupiter
or Rahu be domiciled in trine to Moon in birth chart. On personal level, transit of
Moon in 9th does not yield monetary fruits; instead it favours visiting temples and
shrines. But if radical Moon be located in fixed sign in natal horoscope then transit of
Moon in 9th house from own natal position follows some unseen hurdles and
unnecessary delay in fulfilling to-do list.
This is a time to prove yourself and bear the fruits of your work. A dynamic and
successful day is indicated by transit Moon in 10th house. Meeting and convincing
authority, boss, head, and family elder bring forth favourable results. They welcome
your point of view and show their trust upon you. On this day, if Sun and weekday
lord are also moving into favourable houses, then advancing appeal, request, project
or new idea before higher ups never turn down. Inviting authorities in homes or
party uplifts one’s social standing. Interview or negotiation with jobs causes good
result. This transit also favours religious ceremonies and charitable deeds in home
and workplace, if there is natural benefic in 10th from Moon in birth chart. As a
whole, this is a day to show your work and efforts publically, if Moon is also moving
in good nakshatra. Moon in 10th house when transiting into evil nakshatra tara,
although signifies success, but without personal satisfaction. In this condition,
despite appreciation and admiration, one does not feel happy internally. Moreover, if
an afflicted lord of the 8th from natal ascendant is in 10th from the Moon, or if there
is occupation/aspect of two natural malefics in 10th from the natal Moon, then transit
of Moon in 10th house from natal Moon does not indicate a very successful day. In
mentioned condition, one accrues feeble and unsustainable good results, even if
Moon simultaneously moves through good nakshatra tara.
It’s a party time. Enjoy the day with family and friends. Gracious and jazzy feelings
envelope the mind of native, if Moon is simultaneously in good nakshatra. It is also a
house of earnings and transit of Moon often cause good news about promotion,
return of lent money, financial dealings, and profits in business. Traders find smart
monetary benefits. Youngsters find gifts and messages of good wishes from friends
and family. Students receive award and appreciation for their good performance.
House hold women please to serve gathering of relatives in home. Oldies experience
happiness from children and grand children. Encountering new friend on this day
leads to lasting association. Shopping and buying causes obtainment of good
accessories against reasonable prices. Even 11th Moon if transiting in bad nakshatra
does not much reduce auspiciousness – it merely produces feeling of physical
tiredness, little delay in work and meetings with unknown people. Sometimes
unexpected delay or impediments arise if said 11th house be a fixed sign. If Sun and
weekday lord are side by side transiting into evil houses with respect to natal Moon
then one does not encounter financial gain or enjoyment from friendly gathering.
Rather, native will just hear the news of someone else’s promotion, profit and
happiness.
This lunar transit brings forth amalgam of good and bad effect. On material and
mundane plane, transit of Moon in 12th house often results in unavoidable expenses
and limited earning opportunities. One should avoid shopping and buying today,
since it will always incur you excess cost. If Moon simultaneously moves through evil
nakshatra and in natal horoscope there are malefic planets in 12th house, then you
may fall from vehicles or encounter health problem related to eyes or feet. Your cell
phone may steal, or you may forget where you put keys. Don’t surprise if you get
traffic challan or excess bills today. Aged natives come across fatigue and differences
with children on pocket money, utility bills, credit cards, or increasing expenditure. If
afflicted lunar nodes or natural malefic planets are there in 12th from Moon in birth
chart, then transit Moon in 12th may lead to significant loss on account of cheat or
fraud. Transit of 12th Moon sometimes yields disturbed sleeping, change of sleeping
place or scary dreams, provided weekday lord and Sun are transiting into bad
houses. Being employee you feel yourself inactive and bored in office. But in good
nakshatra, 12th Moon transit may produce divine inclination, spiritual experiences
and inspirational dreams, provided natal chart also suggests such significations.
However, for an ordinary soul it brings fickle mindedness, unnecessary expenses and
aimless wandering.
Conclusion
* Daily transit of Moon foretells the state of mind, while transit of weekday lord and
Sun affect the functions side by side for materialization of events. For judging a daily
forecast, a crude formula may be forms as:
* Transit of Moon produces good effect in 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th and 11th houses
from natal Moon sign. The result will be highly favourable if transit Moon is
simultaneously sojourns in sampat, kshema, saadhana, mitra or atimitra nakshatra
tara.
* Transit of Moon yields unfavourable effects in 4th, 8th and 12th houses from natal
Moon sign. The result will be highly inauspicious if transit Moon is simultaneously
sojourns in vimpat, pratyak or naidhana nakshatra tara.
* Good transit of Moon if coincides with favourable transit of weekday lord and Sun
then it will surely make the day wonderful and gainful.
* Good transit of Moon if coincides with unfavourable transit of weekday lord and
Sun then it will produce admixture of good and bad effect.
* Transit of Moon in 5th and 9th houses, or vacant signs of birth chart having
ordinary SAV, indicate uneventful day.
* Transit of Moon in 4th, 8th and 12th houses from natal Moon sign, will definitely
prove troublesome if afflicted Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, Mars, Kharesh or lord of 8th is
sitting in 4th, 8th and 12th houses from Moon sign in birth chart.
