॥ॐ नागध्वजाय विद्महे
पद्महस्ताय धीमहि
तन्नो राहुः प्रचोदयात्॥

Om Nāgadhwajaaya Vidmahe
Padmahastaya Dhīmahi
Tanno Rāhuḥ Prachodayāt॥

We meditate upon Rahu, whose flag bears the serpent symbol. The one who holds a lotus in his hand. May Rahu enlighten our intellect.

What is Aquarius or Kumbh Rashi: Dive deeper into your karmic realm through online horoscope consultation

The symbol of the water bearer is deeply enigmatic. It is the eleventh house in the chart of Kaalpurush. It represents the evolved soul which is just one step lower to attain Moksha (Pisces).

The Aquarius Rashi is odd, male, and air sign. It is fixed and rules the west direction. It emits dark brown colour.

The ruler of Aquarius is Shani or Saturn. The co-ruler is Rahu. The present Kaliyuga is the age of Aquarius.

Aquarius represents secrecy and it is an accumulation of paradoxes. Nobody knows what is hidden deep in the pitcher. We can only see what is flowing out.

They're traditional but often embrace new ideas, they abide by the rules but question the hierarchy, they connect spirituality with science.

They are visionary but humanists too. They don't advocate progress at the cost of dignity. Aquarius represents a state of evolution which can lead the world to the age of enlightenment.

And when this eccentric genius meets the leadership of Sun it aims to shake up the system. It often lays the foundation of a gradual but a complete transformation.

Tvasta: The Aditya of Kumbh Sankranti

Whenever the Sun enters a new Zodiac sign, it exhibits a blend of his own qualities and that of the sign he is situated.

To understand the different qualities of the Sun per the twelve Zodiac signs, the concept of twelve Aditya was conceived by the Vedic scholars.

Aditya related to Kumbh is called the Tvasta Aditya. He embodies all the qualities of a skilled craftsman. He is the crafter of human beings and wombs. He is considered as the ancestral architect of the human race via his daughter Saranyu, often identified with Lord Vishwakarma who is the divine architect of Srushti.

The Legend of Kumbh Sankranti or the Golden Pitcher

The legend of Kumbh Sankranti begins with a furious Sage Durvasa who cursed the king of Deva, God Indra and his celestial court of Devata. They lost their power and devlok to Asuras.

So Deva sought refuge in the lotus feet of God Vishnu. Lord Vishnu asked them to persuade the demons to churn the ocean for the nectar of immortality.

The Deva and Asura churned the ocean and finally the Golden Pitcher of Amrit appeared. But the teams of Deva and Asura started fighting over the possession of the nectar of immortality. After a fierce fight of twelve days and twelve nights Lord Vishnu took away the pitcher and left the ocean.

While he was traveling a few drops fell at Prayagraj, Ujjain, Nashik, and Haridwar. After every twelve years these cities host the Mahakumbh Mela or fair. The largest religious aggregation on earth.

Even on Kumbh Sankranti devotees take a holy dip on the banks of the Ganges in Haridwar, the Sangam in Prayagraj, the Godavari in Nashik, and the Shipra in Ujjain.

In Hinduism this holy dip not only erases the karmic dust but frees the soul from the continuous cycle of rebirth. This permanent freedom of soul is called Moksha. And Moksha is the ultimate goal of human life according to the Eastern religions.

Even the Devata seek counsel during a crisis, so for a mortal human it is the best thing to seek advice too. A genuine chart reading with an authentic astrologer like Ekktaa can unveil unfathomable doors to success and healing.

Astrological significance of Kumbha Sankranti

The Aquarius sign is hosting the Mayavi planet Rahu. And it will be soon greeted by Mercury, Mars, and Venus. And after that when the Sun enters Aquarius, Rahu-Sun will create Grahan Yoga.

The Grahan Yoga is an inauspicious Yoga or conjunction. The Yoga will fructify as the Solar Eclipse on 17th of February. And it will be visible in India. We will also have a lunar eclipse in the beginning of March.

Sun when eclipsed by Rahu creates a turmoil on global level. The world's patriarchal or established orders may find challenges in near future.

The eclipse is occurring in the 11th house of KPC. It is the sixth to the 6th house. Rahu is the significator of strange and rapid changes. So, another mass illness can break out.

The Aquarius is also the house of gains and elder siblings. Aquarius and Rahu present social media. So we can also witness the rise of unconventional social media influencers.

An accumulation of Rahu, Sun, Mercury, Mars, and Venus will empty a heavy karmic baggage on the Aquarius sign. It surely indicates a period of turbulence and transformation.

During the transit the Sun will pass through Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, and Purvabhadrapada nakshatras. Here's what we can expect from Sun during the transit -

Sun in Dhanishta

It gives natural leadership qualities which bring fame and wealth in the chosen career. The natives who have their natal Sun here, have a natural talent for music. They are short-tempered too.

Sun in Shatabhisha

They are natural healers. They are explorers of uncharted domains like space, AI, or innovative technology. However they have a sharp tongue which may result in many unwanted animosities.

Sun in Purvabhadrapada

The natives are fierce and highly principled. They always stand up against corruption or to fight for the underdog.

Aquarius and Rahu both are highly karmic whereas Sun is our soul. Their union signals a lot of karmic debt and connections which may go forever or resurface again. In such tumultuous times, a birth chart reading with Ekktaa can redirect you towards your destined life path. Book your consultation now!

Conclusion

Planetary transits are a proof of our dynamic cosmic plan.But major planets can affect the mind and soul. Such time periods become challenging. We feel like we are stuck or can't trace our destined path.

Meet the creative mind behind the keyboard

This insightful piece was penned by Smt Ekktaa, a Vedic astrologer and researcher, from Pune.

Her journey into healing commenced with a degree in Psychology and her international certification in the field of Coaching. She was intrigued by the complications of the human psyche. She has an experience of more than 3300+ hours of providing coaching and counselling sessions.

A gifted healer, she was moved by the patterns of consistent suffering of people. Ekktaa dug deeper into the roots of the suffering. She wanted to know why people are suffering despite knowing that they have an alternative. So, she turned to Vedic astrology to find all the answers. And that's where she discovered the true purpose of her life.

After rigorous study of Jyotisha, she decided to connect the empirical evidence of psychology with the principles of Vedic astrology.

Ekktaa - Illuminating Paths, Transforming Lives

Her psychology study has taught Ekktaa that the human mind has a humongous potential to heal itself. What lacks in most people is the will to change. So, Ekktaa tries her best to revive the willpower of her clients via optimistic and positive conversation.

In fact, her clients vouch for her profound support that helps them take a leap of faith towards a favourable future.

Testimony

Mrs Kulkarni from Solapur shares her beautiful transition after a consultation with Ekktaa. In her words she describes,

“I was visiting my Kaka/Chacha ji in Pune. I was nearing 40 and still I was single. Although I accepted that I was destined to stay alone, my uncle insisted on visiting Ekktaa.

She said that within 14 months I will be a happily married woman. Here remedies were simple and easy to follow. Then on a work trip I met a distant relative. She introduced me to my now husband who is also in the same city.

Thank you Ekktaa, as you rightly say, the charts are blueprints not a decree.
