Vrishabha (Taurus) Personality Traits

Vrishabha is an earth sign ruled by the planet Venus.  It is the second sign of the zodiac, which is symbolically related to the second house of Vedic Astrology, an Artha house (Read: The Four Aims of Life: The Purusharthas).  Thus, just like the other Artha houses and signs, Vrishabha has a strong sense and connection to the financial and material aspect of life.  As a result, they tend to be good with finances.  One of their goals in life is to have economic prosperity and security, and the Vrishabha person has critical lessons to learn about money in this life.
Being ruled by Venus, Vrishabha like their surroundings to be aesthetically pleasing.  In this sense they can be very creative and artistic, having a good eye for color and being natural musicians. Vrishabha loves pleasures of all kinds.  Delights can range from enjoying luxurious comforts to good food and wine, to being very earthy, sensuous and tactile.  As a result, this can lead a Vrishabha to become too self-indulgent.
Vrishabha is a very relational sign.  They are warm, friendly, and have steadfast affection towards other people. They are usually good-looking and charming and naturally have smooth social skills.  People are spontaneously attracted to this pleasant and agreeable personality.  It takes a lot for this sign to get angry, but once angered it is difficult for them to forgive.  They can have very fixed ideas, and be quite stubborn at times.  However, Vrishabha is very loyal, patient, and stable in relationships.
Being a fixed sign, they have a pretty conventional outlook on life and prefer well-designed classic styles over trendy fashions.  In this way, they are simple, down to earth, natural, and realistic.  They are content with ordinary life, and thus are pragmatic and not necessarily ambitious like the fiery Aries sign.  They seek security and stability and do not like change.  The shadow side to this is that they can be too realistic about life, and miss the forest for the trees in the spiritual sense.  They lack spiritual imagination and are not attuned to the unseen realms of life.  They can be too focused on the earthy material side of experience that there is no appreciation or devotion towards lofty spiritual ideals.
Nevertheless, Vrishabha has a karma to fulfill by learning to transcend the attachment to financial and material security by learning powerful lessons about such possessions.  Whether they are wealthy or poor, the lessons about money and possessions are inevitable.  Life will throw the Vrishabha into challenging financial situations until the Vrishabha person realizes that life is not what it appears to be, and economic stability and security are not required to reach the ultimate goal of life.

Yogi, Avayogi - Prosperity and Obstruction

What exactly are the planets which are called "Yogi, Avayogi, and Duplicate Yogi?" In Vedic Astrology these are actually very important planets you should know about. Without knowing this, you miss out on very important and accurate predictions in your readings.  So let's get to the core of the matter right away. These are their definitions: Yogi: This is the planet which gives rise to prosperity in the best way it can. Avayogi: This is the planet which obstructs prosperity in the best way it can. Duplicate Yogi: This is the planet which supports prosperity, although to a lesser degree than the Yogi. Now that you know what these planets represent, how to analyze them in your chart? The easiest way to begin is to see what Dasa/Bhukti you are running. Are you running the Dasa or Bhukti of either the Yogi, Avayogi, or Duplicate Yogi? That is the most direct way. If you are not running the Dasa or Bhukti, check to see if the Dasa/Bh...

Mesha (Aries) Personality Traits

Mesha is a fire sign ruled by the planet Mars. It is the first sign of the zodiac, which is symbolically related to the first house of Vedic Astrology, a Dharma house (Read The Four Aims of Life: The Purusharthas).  Thus, just like the other Dharma houses and signs, Mesha people feel they have a strong sense of purpose to fulfill in life. People with this sign strong in their charts will have a strong sense of self and individuality. They will want to be first in everything they do, so they tend to be very competitive. They have a lot of energy, strength, will-power, and strong desires. Mesha people love action and have a strong desire to help others less fortunate.  They like to have a story in life and be the hero of that story, and one of the ways of doing this is through fighting for the underdog.  Mesha loves getting involved in causes and helping the oppressed in one way or another.  This involvement is their noble way of coming to the rescue and being chi...

How are Divisional Charts Used in Vedic Astrology? Jackie Kennedy's Chart

There is a lot of contradiction on how divisional charts are used in Jyotish.  Some astrologers only look at the sign a planet is placed in.  They then look at the lord of that sign and see if it is strong or weak in the Rasi chart.  However, they claim that Yogas and Aspects are not to be used in divisional charts. This is one section that I strongly disagree with.  And I abide by my teacher, James Kelleher, in the way he uses divisional charts. A divisional chart should be read exactly like a birth chart, but in relation to the particular chart you are looking at.  So if you are looking a the Navamsha, it stands for spouse.  If you are looking at the D-7 chart, it stands for children.  If you are looking at the D-10 chart it stands for career.  So the particular Yoga in the chart will focus in on only that area of your life. Let us take an example at why we analyze a divisional chart just as we analyze a Rasi chart, including Yogas and asp...
