NAKSHATRAS AND SECRETS OF TRANSITS
The key to understanding transits is through the Nakshatra predictive system known as Navatara and Tara Bala where transits through key nakshatras from the natal moon trigger events. They can also be  counted from ascendant and sometimes from the Dasha lord or the Sun and more accurately help us understand why certain larger transits or dasha periods bring great fruits or bring challenges.
Find out where your natal moon’s nakshatra is , your ascendant or lagna is and then count the nakshatra sequences from there.
So if you born in the constellation of Jyestha and your moon was there then Jyestha is counted as 1 and is your Janma Nakshatra and then Mula would counted as 2 , Purva Shadha would be counted as 3, Uttar Shadha would be counted as 4, Shravana would be counted as 5 and Dhanishata would be 6 and Shatabhisha would be 7 and Purvabhadra Pada would be 8t and Uttarbhardra Pada would be 9. .
The first nine nakshatras from your natal moon have more potency to produce extreme results where as the 2nd and 3rd tiers are less potent. There is a complex numerology inherent in the numbers and there is a deep significance and connection to the unfoldment of dashas and transits. Here in Part 2 we will explain the connection to transits.
- Janma: Your birth moon
- Â Sampat: Connected to gains
- Vipat:Â Danger to finances
- Kshema: Happiness and security
- Prayatak: Enemies and Obstacles
- Sadhana: Attainment and fulfillment of desires
- Â Naidhana: Transformation through destruction of the old.
- Mitra: Â Marriage and Partnership / Â Fulfillment of Desires
- Param Mitra: Great Friendship or Spiritual Fuflilment
Andrew Foss in Yoga of the Planets, connects the 9 positions to planetary rulers and to the sequence of the dasha lords. My sense and own addition is that we can also connect the energies to key houses and I have added this to my discussion below but it is still work in progress.
-
- Janma: Ruled by Mercury and Ketu  connected to the 1st house.
- Sampat: Ruled by Venus and connected to the 2nd and 11th houses.
- Vipat:Â Ruled by the Sun and connected to the 8th and 12th houses.
- Kshema: Ruled by the Moon and connected to the 4th house.
- Prayatak: Ruled by Mars and connected to the 3rd and 6th houses
- Sadhana: Ruled by Rahu and connected to the 11th house.
- Â Naidhana: Ruled by Jupiter and connected to the 8th house.
- Mitra: Ruled by Saturn and connected to the 7th house.
- Param Mitra: Ruled by Ketu and connected to the 9th and 12th house
These become very important with larger and slower moving transits through them like Saturn and Rahu and Ketu and even Jupiter as these planets stay there a longer time. They also impact your dasha sequence great but it will take a whole article to discuss this in more detail later
The secrets of these techniques will be taught in our new course:
