Vedic Astrology helps you achieve financial stability. Finance is an important element in today’s high paced digital generation. It gives them stability, security and comforts.

2019 Loka Sabha Election Predictions using Padanaathaamsa Dasa |Dr. Nemani Venkata Raghunatha Rao
Never before in the history of India have we witnessed political campaigns like the 2019 Loka Sabha Elections. Political parties are thrashing each other. Mudslinging is at its high, the campaigns are ugly and character assassinations has become a daily ritual. While India looks forward to vote in April and May 2019, various astrological scholars and sharing their interpretations of horoscopes, transits and mundane influences. In this article, Dr Nemani shows a novel method – Padanathaamsa Dasa – to interpret the horoscope of the two main prime minister candidates, Sri Narendra Modi and Sri Rahul Gandhi, and conclude on who’ll become the prime minister in the coming term.
Introduction The word “Padanaathaamsa” is composed of three words: ‘Pada’, which refers to the Arudha Lagna or Pada Lagna, ‘Amsa’ meaning division (Varga) and referring to the Navamsa in particular. ‘Nada’ seems to be a loosely used of ‘Nava’ and the name can read as ‘Pada Navamsa Dasa’ instead. The Arudha Lagna shows the social standing and image of the individual and the Lord of the Arudha Lagna is the prime controller of this image (Maya). Dr. Nemani Venkata Raghunatha Rao is from Parvatipuram (Near Vizag), AP, India, lives in San Francisco, USA. Dr. Raghunatha Rao has been practicing Vedic Astrology since 2002. With a doctorate in Business Management by profession. he considers H. Ramadas Rao, Pt. Sanjay Rath, Pt. Dakshinamoorthy Ramasamy and Swami Omkar as his Jyotish Teachers. Dr. Rao has recently received Jyotish Visharada from Council of Vedic Astrology (CVA), USA.
The astrological emagazine
The Padanaathaamsa Dasa indicates the changes in image and thus, the impact of “Maya” of this world on the life of the individual. That these changes are largely fated is borne by the fact that this Dasa will reveal the changes based on time-periods in Rasi or Navamsa or in any respective Varga Charts. I have used the following pointers and illustrated the principles to determine political / election outcomes for the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha Elections are scheduled to be held between held April 11th and May 19th to determine who will be the Next Prime Minister of India.
Interpretation Principles 1. Determine the Arudha Lagna per Jaimini method. 2. Determine the signs occupied by this Lord(s) of the Arudha Lagna. If there are two lords, then determine the stronger of the two based on the sources of strength of signs.

Words of Wisdom by Avadhoota Datta Peethadhipati Jagadguru Parama Pujya Sri Sri Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji
Man has to face the problems of life boldly and courageously. He should not run away from them or shift the blame on others. Problems have their origin in past deeds, done either in this or in a previous birth. At such time, one need the support of God or at least confidence in oneself to live up to any situation. 8

Important Vastu Tips for Interiors |Bangalore Niranjan Babu
Vastu is today a house-hold word, the world over. In any construction — a residence, a temple, a layout, a hospital, a corporate business complex, an educational institution, etc. etc. — the first thought is Vastu. Each structure comprises of various materials like sand, brick, cement, mortar, wood, steel, etc. Each material (including us) radiates energies — positive and negative. Vastu aims at interfacing these and other terrestrial energies (our pets, us, the furniture, the electrical and other gadgets, the carpets and curtains, etc.) with the celestial energies (emanating from other planets and constellations of our and other universes) to make man a part and parcel (of the cosmic order) and provide him with health, happiness and contentment. Vastu gives importance to surroundings around him and tells us that balancing the various energies in this environment ensures stable mental and physical health. An imbalance can cause sickness, lack of affluence and discontented home ambiance. The ancient masters while speaking of the different mandalas or plans identified the adi bhootas or the primary elements of nature in a nine module plan called Pitha mandala. Keeping this in view we can position furniture, electronic and electrical items, pictures and photos, statues and idols, water fountains and fish aquarium, wind chimes, pyramids (shikara/stupi) mirrors, etc. and use proper colors to balance the various energies that get activated once the four walls of an area come into existence. Take out your building plan and place the nine module plan on it. Divide the central module into
The astrological emagazine
nine more parts and the central part of that becomes the griha nabhi (the navel) of the house. The central main module corresponds to the brahmasthana of the house. The remaining eight modules of the house correspond to the four cardinal (disha) directions north, east, south and west and the four angular (vidisha) directions northeast, southeast, southwest and northwest. The Adi Bhootas (primary elements) identified by the ancient masters for the four angular directions are udaka (water) for northeast, agni (fire) for the southeast, akasha (space) for the southwest and vayu (air) for the northwest. The central module is identified with the primary element prithvi (earth. Once the plan is superimposed with the Vastu Purusha’s diagram, you will find his head (mental strength) covers the northeast sector and his legs (physical strength) cover the southwest sector. His navel is in the central module. His right arm is in the southeast and the left arm in the northwest. As a general rule, the masters of the home can occupy the south and southwest rooms, the male children can occupy the south, southeast and east rooms, the female children can occupy the north, northwest and west rooms and the elders (grandparents) and the senior members (grand uncles and aunts) and the not-too-well members of the family can occupy the northeast portions of the house. The elder members of the family sleep with their heads to the south and the younger members with their heads to the east. After this basic introduction, let us try to design the interiors of our homes room by room.

How to check your lucky Planet, and benefit from it? |Raman Suprajarama
My students often ask me how I am able to exactly tell which planet is powerful for a person, without looking at their horoscope. I am also able to tell which planet is also weak. Very often, I give out predictions without even looking at the horoscope. I am sharing how to do this in this write up. Let me narrate to you a recent incident. It was busy afternoon, and I was talking to a few corporate folks. A lady in the crowd was told that I was a “modern day astrologer”. She walked towards me, introduced herself and without going around, directly said she did not believe in astrology. This is a common and recurring occurrence with me. While one would expect that my BP would have increased, I stayed calm and just replied with a one word, “Alright”. I continued my conversations with others around me. Many present there took note of my unaffected response. The lady was surprised. I could notice at the corner of my eye that she was visibly upset and wanted to confront me. She again intervened and said, “Prove to me that astrology works”. I never get provoked during such incidents, but this time, I felt it was different. I could sense that this lady wasn’t trying to show off or be smart. On the other hand, she showed signs of being duped by a con astrologer, who are now in plenty. I observed her for a minute and said “Ms Pavitra, I don’t do consultations for free, but I’ll make an exception here. What if I tell you which planet is casting a strong influence on you without looking at your horoscope?” She was taken aback. She was silent. I followed it up with “What if I also tell you that this is the reason why you have a natural ability to make friends easily?” Her eyes gleamed. The crowd around suddenly went silent and were listening to me attentively. The astrological emagazine
The lady accepted by challenge, half-heartedly. I continued, “You have a strong Jupiter, and your Jupiter is with a strong Sun.” I ended my conversation. The lady was surprised. Her strong/ rude tone suddenly changed to an obedient tone. She said “Sir, you really are a great astrologer. Yes. My ascendant is Pisces, whose lord is Jupiter, and Jupiter and Sun, are in Aries. Sun is exalted in Aries. And yes, I am make friends very easily. In today’s program, I know almost half of them personally. I have consulted many astrologers and later studied astrology myself, but I haven’t been able to get the predictions right. Hence I was of the opinion that astrology was bunkum. I will definitely change my opinion from now onwards, and I am really sorry to be rude.” I’ll not bother the readers with the rest of the incident about how she now regularly takes my professional guidance for her and her family. I will instead tell you how I gauged the strengths of planets just by looking at the person. In this article, I’ll share how to identify the single most influential planet, and later sometime share how to analyze if there is more than one planet. Every native displays characteristics – physical and emotional – based on the most influential planet in the horoscope. This planet is also the lucky planet for the person. There are many characteristics to be analyzed but the top ones include the size and shape of the head, skin tone, build, attitude, posture, tone, outlook to money, and ability to withstand pressure. Lucky Sun – The person will have a rectangular and broad face, with a mild baldness. Irrespective of whether a person is a dark skinned or light skinned, the skin will show a hue of red color.

One can clearly noticed that fifth house is more than just children. It also denotes wealth, poverty, patience etc. Can it denote more than this? Yes.

A person can earn Wealth if he can think and act, and vedic astrology is a very good tool if someone is stuck here. In this article, the author, writes about how can read the wealth aspect of a person and also the selection of the right remedies.
Most people, rich or poor, are constantly looking for financial growth and stability. The rich seek to acquire more power and influence while securing good deals. But also, a better quality of life. Look for example at billionaire entrepreneur Warren Buffet. He said that his many businesses basically “run themselves” so he has the time to read books for 5-6 hours daily. He loves to learn. The poor want to end the cycle of suffering and hope for a job that will permanently take them above the poverty line. Lalitha Donatella Riback lives in New York, USA. She is a professional Vedic astrologer, life coach, and author of “Bliss Lab: How the Ancient Yogis Acquired Supernormal Powers and How You Can Too.” Lalitha has been studying Indian spirituality since 1993, and holds an advanced degree in Vedic astrology, and certifications as a yoga teacher, Ayurvedic consultant and Reiki master.

Even the spiritually inclined require money for daily needs and the survival of the physical body. A lack of reliable sources of income may take away peace and time for spiritual practice. Those considered middle class seek a better future for themselves (and their families) and long to elevate themselves to a higher standard of living. So the desire for financial stability is universal. And here is where Vedic astrology can help us make great strides.

Initiate your children to Astrology with this Simple yet Accurate Technique |Raman Suprajarama
Astrology is one of the best techniques available for us to plan our lives efficiently and purposefully. Your children can benefit from it and use it to come out in flying colors if they are thought early in their life how to use astrology. Initiating them in to Vedic Astrology very early in life will be very helpful. As children, they understand these concepts better, have more time to practice, and before they complete their education, they will have a very good hold of Vedic Astrology and use them cleverly to lead a purposeful and successful life. Here is one simple method that was thought to me by my grandfather Dr B V Raman when I was about 7 years old. This method has always worked for me, and I can personally vouch for it. The method is as follows – 1. The person has to first think of a 3 digit number. Note that three digits are important. If it is one, two, four, five etc, then this method will not work. I used to use my school text book and randomly select a page. The page number was my chosen 3 digit number. In case I flipped to a page that had just two digits, I did it again till I got a 3 digit. Today, I have an app the randomly generates numbers at a press of a button. 2. The hundredth, tenth and the unit number represent the past, present and future. Separate the numbers, multiply them by 45 and divide this produce by 8. Make a note of the reminder. 3. Refer to the below table to find out the results based on the reminder.
