Vedic Jyotish : Virgo & You : A self-intro

Vedic Astrology is the light of life and it is based upon the movement of sign rising at the horizon at the time of the birth of the native, and also most importantly, the sign in which the Moon is located. The Western Astrology is based upon Sun sign and the Vedic astrology is based on Moon sign which is more accurate in timing an event. Check your horoscope if you are a Virgo native, as follows: a) The centre top (square) of your horoscope contains the number 6, and/or b) the slots (square or triangle) containing Moon contains the number 6, and/or c) if you do not have a horoscope, then if your name starts with any of the following alphabets : tto, paa, pee, poo, ss, nn, thth, pey, pou. The sign Virgo is the mooltrikona sign of the planet, Mercury. Mercury governs nervous system, abdominal umbilical region, bowel and intestines. 1. It is a negative, human, earthy and barren sign and rules the power of analysis and discrimination. 2. If the sign Virgo rises and Mercury is strong, a person gets attractive personality and is charming. 3. The weak Mercury gives body with prominent veins, lack of witticism and lack of charm. 4. The weak and afflicted Mercury causes sufferings through nervous breakdown, appendicitis, constipation, etc. Their analytical nature makes Virgos thorough and critical, leading to perfection. 1. They are realistic in their approach, weigh pros and cons carefully and are appreciative of the events liked by them. 2. They are practical, fully composed and sometimes perceived to be fussy. 3. All these depend upon the strength and placement of Mercury in the natal chart. 4. They are generally not content, because environment is quite away from idealism. 5. The usual weakness of Mercury makes Virgo-born people feel insecure in life. 6. They are generally worrisome. 7. Virgos are mostly truthful, sincere and dependable. 8. The reason is that the house ruling character and inclination has the mooltrikona sign of the planet, Jupiter. 9. The oft-existent weakness of Mercury makes Virgos nervous. 10. The role played by functional malefics in making Virgos nervous is very significant. The planets the Sun, Saturn and Mars turn functional malefics besides Rahu and Ketu. 1. The transit influence of functional malefics on weak natal positions of Virgos robs them of stability, and encounters them with new troublesome situations, time and again. 2. That is why Virgos are known as nervous, fussy and appear to be, or are insecure.

3. Virgos are art lovers and artists. Mercury, their ruler, is the planet of communications. 4. Mercury, when strong, gives them the art of communication, which helps them in entering the field of performing arts, if Venus, too, is strong in the nativity. 5. A strong Mercury with a strong Jupiter, ruling the fourth house, blesses the native with all assets in life as the significations of the fourth house are dynamic in nature as observed earlier in the book. 6. A strong Moon blesses them with fulfilment of desires and good income, while a strong Venus blesses them with advisory status and a happy married life. Close conjunction of functional malefic, Saturn, with weak natal positions generates disputes for the significations ruled by weak natal planets or the houses. Close conjunction of functional. malefic, the Sun, generates losses and expenses connected with the weak natal positions. While a strong Mars blesses Virgos with good inheritance, its close conjunction/aspect with weak natal positions causes obstructions, accidents and violent end to the significations ruled by weak and afflicted natal positions. Apart from these conjunctions/aspects of functional malefics, the close affliction of Rahu and Ketu with Mercury can cause epilepsy or paralysis, while affliction to Jupiter can ruin the whole life of Virgos. The collective weakness of Venus, ruling the second house, and Jupiter, ruling the fourth house, delays the marriage while bad placement of these planets and affliction causes denial/disturbed marital life to Virgos.

Virgo natives can safely wear Emerald or Diamond or Blue Sapphire as adjudged by an able astrologer with detailed reading. The three gems can be studded in a locket and worn in the neck, under advice. If a benefic planet turns weak it must be strengthened by wearing gems or correctly prescribed rudraksha and also reciting planetary mantras. If a planet is adverse, it must be propitiated, and the relevant deity mantra or jap may be useful to alleviate sufferings.
