Guru Chandala Yoga

When the benevolent Jupiter conjoins with the comparatively unkind nodal planets Rahu or Ketu, that union is termed “Guru Chandala Yoga” per Vedic Astrology. The conjunction could be in the same sign or farther in the same star. In the latter case, the influence on humans and the world at large is more powerful.

It starts with the entry of Rahu into the sign Leo on January 30th, 2016, where Jupiter is already positioned at about 28⁰ in retrograde motion. Both planets proceed towards each other to form the union. The real period of togetherness is from June 3rd, 2016 to July 14th, 2016, when they will be very close to each other with a distance of 3⁰, and will juxtapose each other for almost seven days from June 24th to July 1st.

Uttaraphalguni, ruled by the Sun, and Purvaphalguni, ruled by Venus, are the two stars through which both planets will be transiting together, after which they will move apart, while Rahu will remain in Leo to transit over the star Magha, ruled by Ketu.

Superficially, in looking at the event one might not find it really significant, unless one understands the inner meaning and the workings of the Jupiter/Rahu union. Jupiter represents our consciousness, our higher self, and our noble thoughts. Rahu, referred to by the name “Chandala” (meaning “lowly being”) represents our basic animalistic instincts, like greed for money and power, and the nature of being unmindful of sinking to the lowest levels to satisfy one’s own  selfish interests.

Thus the union symbolizes the coming together of opposites. This affects humans at a psychological level to exhibit different behaviors. Rahu can bring materialistic pleasures, boost our ambition, and enhance sudden growth in careers and power, but it cannot guarantee eternal happiness, contentment of possessing wealth with wisdom, and peace of mind, which Jupiter can bestow.

Needless to say, the Guru Chandala Yoga, a.k.a Jupiter/Rahu Union, is here to influence and affect us in our daily lives in good, as well as not so good, ways. Then where is the help?

1. Guru Chandala Yoga 2016 Report

The Guru Chandala Yoga Report is crafted with the objective of providing guidance to you about how to utilize the Guru Chandala Yoga period, which spans 190 days from January 30th, 2016 at 1:32 a.m.(IST) to August 11th, 2016 at 21:00 p.m.(IST)

The Jupiter/Rahu combination is happening in the sign Leo, ruled by the Sun. While Jupiter has a friendly relationship with the Sun and is therefore comfortable in Leo, Rahu and the Sun are bitter enemies to each other. Both Rahu and Jupiter are very powerful planets, but are diagonally opposite each other in their traits and behavior. Additionally, Saturn, the Lord of Rings and Karma Supervisor, will aspect the duo from his position in Scorpio. Thus, the sign Leo will be a playground of mixed energies interacting in a complex way.

The Guru Chandala Report will tell you precisely what you can do to take this time frame to your maximum advantage.

Additional Homa and/or Pooja for Specific Planets According to Your Birth Chart

This would be applicable only for those who have any other planet(s) in their birth charts that goes to create an additional impact over and above the Jupiter/Rahu effect. That is, if you have any other planet(s) influencing the combination, this will be prescribed by the astrologers only if relevant to your birth chart. Whether those planet(s) are a catalyst for good or bad events will be analyzed by our astrologers, and appropriate worship procedures will be prescribed.

For example, you will find in the sample report that the sign in which the union is happening is the 7th House and is also the Moon sign for the native. Therefore, she will have to do a few propitiatory rituals for the Moon also.

2. Group Homa for Rahu and Jupiter

Rahu is a head without a body. Everything he comes into contact with he becomes obsessed with, like a person with a voracious appetite. Rahu represents material desire, but because he is not a physical planet he operates on the subconscious level. He distorts our perceptions and colors the world according to his desires. Offering prayers to Rahu will help you receive the blessings of Rahu. He pulls together our current life karmas based on our previous birth karmas.

A transit of Jupiter opens up opportunities for growth and expansion, both physical and psychological. Connecting with Jupiter’s exalted energy during this period will be beneficial for everyone for their prosperity and wellbeing.
