JUPITER ENTER IN SAGGITARIUS on 23 Nov 07 upto Nov 2008

(Prediction based on Sun Sign)

12.Pisces Sun Sign or Rising:
Jupiter moves into your tenth solar zone (or your 10th House). Increased social recognition, vocational successes or career rewards are in the offering this year. However, the achievements must be earned through your own hard work. Otherwise, you end up with a whole lot of exaggerated ego that seems to create more humiliation than it was worth before Jupiter is done. Competence is earned through practice, diligence and honest efforts. Jupiter will magnify your every move this year. This is a time of feeling like you are on top of the world. Demonstrate your confidence and put away your arrogance. It's a good time for seeking favors from those in positions of established authority. You will receive a freer rein from those in power. They loosen the ties that seemed to bind you in the past. Don't let the connections become so loose that you end up strangling yourself.

11.Aquarius Sun Sign or Rising:
Jupiter moves into your eleventh solar zone (or your 11th House). Now is the time for you to consolidate your ties to others. Connections to others can bring you a larger payoff in a few years. Put in your time to help the world, or at the very least, the greater good of your community and the rewards will come back to you three fold. Tap into your dreams for the future or your ideal world for the guidance you need in finding others with similar interests. This is a year of expanding your circle of friends. This should not be a "single minded" or an individual experience. The payoff comes from connecting with others at a collective level. You may discover that peers and associates that you have worked with in your past comprehend your mission and may be willing to lend a hand, especially if you were willing to help them when they asked for your help. Don't try to accomplish this in isolation or Jupiter is likely to only cause you to feel lonelier. That's the last thing you will need before Jupiter moves into your 12th house or solar zone.

10.Capricorn Sun Sign or Rising:
Jupiter moves into your twelfth solar zone (or your 12th House). The twelfth is the culmination region of your chart or solar zones. The year will be spent reviewing your past 11 years and where your experiences have taken you. This is a time for renewal and re-energizing. That can be really scary for some. The extroverts grow restless during this time. The introverts might become lethargic and depressed. It's not a time of withdrawing totally. Hiding in the cave will deprive you of the final few experiences that will help complete the journey. Sure, it is a year of introspection, but not without compassion, generosity and dreaming. This could be one of your most creative years ever. You have the opportunity this year to combine all your knowledge, wisdom and life experiences from the past 11 years. Your hope grows through completing the cycle. An honest evaluation of your past puts you in the right place at the right time. If you are called upon to help others, and you offer your generosity, the door of opportunity opens when you least expect it to happen. The year of retreat is not a year of escapism.

9.Sagittarius

Jupiter entering Sagittarius is particularly beneficial for you, as Jupiter is now on your Sun or first house. From now until December 2007, this transit brings noticeable improvements to your environment and self-confidence to your personality. Your personality is more obviously expansive, exuberant, and enthusiastic. This transit heightens your optimism and generosity. This cycle has the potential for being a relaxed, fortunate, and hopeful time. You are greeting life with a fresh, can-do attitude. What happened in the past is not very important to you now--it's the future you're eyeing now. Events occur that help you to overcome problems that previously seemed challenging or even insurmountable--you have an altogether different perspective on life now, and are not inclined much to sweat the small stuff. You want to create a distinct first impression on others, and you tend to do just that. Furthering your personal ambitions and interests comes more easily during this cycle. At times, you may feel like the sky is the limit! You might need to guard against becoming too full of yourself or overly self-interested, however. There is also a risk of overindulgence and other forms of extreme behavior. Be careful that a carefree attitude doesn't end up a careless one. You feel considerably more free to be yourself, and others tend to accept you more readily. These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once, although they are more likely due to Jupiter's direct influence on your life. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

8.Scorpio

Jupiter entering Fire sign Sagittarius places Jupiter in your money, values, and possessions sector. From now and until December 2007, you are likely to see benefits to your earning power and value system. Jupiter in this part of your chart should bring a profitable and productive year. You are likely to feel more confident and enthusiastic about your ability to earn a living, and you may choose to develop your talents in order to boost your earning power. Your income is likely to increase, and there may be an opportunity to improve your future financial situation. However, you may also be just as inclined to splurge on yourself, plumping up your nest or your store of personal possessions. Monetary problems from the past may clear up during this period. You can add to your possessions, and a major purchase or sale is very possible. A significant gift or bonus may come your way. This is a good time to go for a raise, apply for a loan, or take part in various dealings with financial institutions. You may need to curb an inclination to overspend--feeling good could bring you to the stores as you temporarily forget about the future! These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

7.Libra

Jupiter entering Sagittarius is beneficial for you, as Jupiter is now in a creative sextile to your Sun and in your third house. From now until December 2007, educational and communication opportunities present themselves. You may increase your knowledge and skills set, and find much enjoyment in so doing. During this long-term trend, neighbors or relatives could be especially beneficial. You express your ideas with more enthusiasm, and they are received well. You are able to understand complex subjects and explain them in such a way that others can readily understand; thus, teaching or authoring may be prosperous now. Opportunities for travel or advanced study may present themselves. This might be a good time to take a course. You may decide to buy a new car, or transportation opportunities present themselves, making it much easier for you to get from point A to point B. Gifts or opportunities may come through visits, short trips, messages, emails, or they could come through contacts with siblings, classmates, and neighbors. Some sort of positive news or announcement is likely to be part of the picture. If you're an author, you will find many opportunities and your creative juices flow nicely. If you're a student, school is especially favored. If you're in business or trade, you are likely to find sales are especially strong. In general, you find much joy in communicating, learning, and socializing. These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

6.Virgo

Jupiter entering Fire sign Sagittarius places Jupiter in your home and family sector. From now and until December 2007, you are likely to see benefits to home, family, property, and domestic comfort matters. Much joy and enjoyment may be found in your family and your home life during this cycle. An increased sense of security and safety may be derived from your domestic life. Improvements to your home life, family, and basic psychological foundation are in focus. Opportunities to buy or sell real estate for financial gain may present themselves. Home improvements, such as real estate or renovation purchases, are favored, as is moving to a new dwelling. Some of you may buy or sell a house, and others may welcome a new addition to the family. You may move to a larger or more comfortable dwelling. Long-standing family problems may be ironed out. Relationships with parents and other family members go well. You may find enjoyment in getting in touch with your roots or family traditions. There could be a family reunion. Your parents may help you financially or an inheritance is possible. You take more pleasure in nurturing others. A stronger sense of psychological well-being may come now, as you take less interest in more worldly ambitions and activities. These positive circumstances won't necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

5.Leo Sun Sign or Rising:
Jupiter moves into your fifth solar zone (or your 5th House). Entertainment and recreation are the focus for you. Leos tend to be lucky people with Sagittarius in their fifth zone. Themes involving romance, luck, creativity and children are likely to expand with Jupiter's transit this year. This is a great year for social events. The nicest gift from Jupiter in the 5th house is the ability to get back just as much or even more than you put forth. Being willing to explore your creative side may bring about a wonderful surprise. Pregnancy is certainly a strong potential this year. Use a little extra precaution if you are not in the position to start raising a child. And don't let your lucky streak with money turn into a gambling bug. If you can't afford to lose it, don't risk it.

4.Cancer Sun Sign or Rising:
Jupiter moves into your sixth solar zone (or your 6th House). If your work-life has been drudgery, this is the perfect year to prove your worth in a different position or even with a different employer. If you work from your home, then you are likely to find the resources to help make your job a bit easier. Your work environment could use a bit of sprucing up. Clear the clutter early on to keep from feeling weighted down by the mess. Your medical benefits package should be reassessed. You may discover that you have more options with better benefits opening up for you. A happier you is a healthier you. If you have been stuck in a medical catch-22, this may be the year where you finally find a resolution to the problem. While you may feel healthier this year, be careful not to overwork yourself or add more stress into your life.

3.Gemini Sun Sign or Rising:
Jupiter moves into your seventh solar zone (or your 7th House). Healthy relationships and partnerships are more likely to flourish. Unhealthy ones are more likely to crumble under the weight. If you are involved in a legal matter, you may find that the scales of justice get tipped in your favor or, at the very least, balanced out. Public relations and social contracts are opening up and easier to ratify. Watch closely for the true colors of those whom you believe to be your allies. You may find a few adversaries who are jealous of your good fortune. Your integrity this year is what helps you to be successful. Earning the respect of others will feel natural as equality is the source for your good will.

2.Taurus Sun Sign or Rising:
Jupiter moves into your eighth solar zone (or your 8th House). The concept of money is as natural to you as water. But now, the money you'll be working with is not just yours. A year to be discriminate about the individuals you choose to share your money with or through. On the other hand, trying to hold the money too tightly could jeopardize everything you have worked for thus far. Your integrity will be on the line based on the choices you make. Making the right choices may not be so easy. Psychologically, you gain a sense of the inner you. There is the ability to heal the emotional wounds that have haunted you from the past, particularly themes involving taboos, sexuality and even money. Sensuality may be heightened. Erotic fantasies take you places you never thought to encounter before. Half the fun is exploring, but discretion and responsibility are essential in your exploration.

1.Aries Sun Sign or Rising:
Jupiter moves into your ninth solar zone (or your 9th House). Jupiter's visit here helps you to expand your potential. Sharing your knowledge and wisdom with others by lecturing, teaching or mentoring helps you too. Your view on the world shifts. You find a sense of guidance through a belief system or philosophical system. Traveling or publishing a book connects you with others that bring you in direct contact with just the right people. It's not merely self-advertising or promoting. You are on a quest. Watch out for those with a narrow-perspective or who try to ride on your coat-tail. It is your mind and your perception of truth that others are trying to tap into. Unless harsh transit aspects are interfering, most legal proceedings that you encounter should be beneficial for you. Your mind will be like a sponge. Don't let all that knowledge overwhelm you or take you in the wrong direction. The goal is to absorb it now for use sometime in the future.

5 days The Great Diwali Puja

One of the grandest festivals celebrated across the world is Diwali or Deepavali, which means `row of lights`. It is celebrated all over India with equal enthusiasm and zeal, in the month of October-November. Hindus all over India celebrate Diwali whole-heartedly, and everyone celebrates Diwali in his own way. Lighting up entire house, decorating it, making rangolis outside the porch of the house, shopping for new clothes, bursting crackers distributing sweets are the spirits tagged to Diwali. According to the Hindu calendar, it is celebrated in the last days of Ashvina and at the beginning of Kartika, exactly twenty days after Dussehra. It is celebrated to honour the return of Rama and Sita to their kingdom of Ayodhya, after fourteen years of exile; thus, lamps are lit as a sign of celebration as well as hope for mankind against evil.
It is a composite festival, which includes other small festivals as well. To add to the festival of Diwali, fairs called Melas are held throughout India. A mela generally becomes a market day in the countryside and there are also plenty of activities that take place at a mela. These activities include performances from jugglers, acrobats, snake charmers and fortunetellers. Food stalls, selling sweet and spicy foods, are set up and a variety of rides are also present during the fair. There are few popular legends associated with Diwali and different parts of India have their version to explain.

1. It is celebrated as the marriage of Goddess Lakshmi with Lord Vishnu

2. In West Bengal, the festival is dedicated to the worship of Mother Kali, the

goddess of strength.

3. In Jainism, Deepavali has an added significance to the great event of Lord

Mahavira attaining the eternal bliss of nirvana. Four days of the Diwali have different legends, saga and myths to talk about and thus Diwali is celebrated in the following format:

1st Day - Dhanteras
The first day of Diwali is known as Dhanteras (Dhan means "wealth" and Teras means 13th day). Thus, as the name implies, this day falls on the 13th day of the first half of the lunar month. According to a legend, a sixteen year old son of King Hima was, was doomed to die by a snakebite on the fourth day of his marriage. Thus, on that particular fourth day of his marriage, his young wife laid all the ornaments and many gold and silver coins in a big heap at the entrance of her husband’s room and lighted innumerable lamps all over the place. When Yama, the god of Death, arrived there in the guise of a Serpent, he was blinded by the dazzle of brilliant lights and he could not enter the Prince’s chamber. So, he climbed on top of the heap of the ornaments and coins and sat there whole night listening to the melodious songs, which the young wife was singing and in the morning, he quietly went away. Since then, this day of Dhanteras came to be known as the day of "Yamadeepan". In the beginning of this day, people bathe early in the morning. A fast is observed which is broken only after sunset, when the housewife lights an earthen lamp at the gate and even other lamps are kept burning throughout the night in respectful adoration to Yam, the god of Death.

2nd Day - Naraka Chaturdashi
On this day, it is believed, that the demon Naraka was defeated and vanquished by Divine Lord Krishna. On the day previous to the Naraka Chaturdashi, Lord Krishna killed the demon Naraka, as a symbol of that victory; Lord Krishna smeared his forehead with the demon king’s blood and returned to his house, early morning on the Naraka Chaturdashi day. Here, the womenfolk massaged scented oil to his body and gave him a good bath to wash away the filth from his body. Since then, the custom of taking bath before sunrise on this day has become a traditional practice, especially in Maharashtra. On the previous day of the Naraka Chaturdashi, people offer prayers to the vessel in which water is being heated for bath. Hindus light fireworks, which is regarded as the model of Narakasura who was killed on this day.

There is another legend is about King Bali, the grandson of Prahlad, who was pushed into the Patallok by Lord Vishnu in disguise of Vamana, the Brahmin dwarf. King Bali, though being the king of the demons was generous enough to let himself pushed into the underworld, Lord Vishnu gave him the lamp of knowledge. He was allowed to return to earth once a year to light millions of lamps to drive away the darkness and ignorance and spread the light of love and wisdom. Thus, in ancient times, the festival of Bali was celebrated on the first day of bright half of Kartika, the day following Diwali.

In West Bengal, Kali Puja is performed on Diwali, since it is believed that on this day Kali killed the wicked Raktavija. In South India, the story widely associated with this day of Diwali is that of Narasimha, the man-lion incarnation of Vishnu. Here, Lord Vishnu, in this fifth incarnation, killed Hiranyakshipu with his claws on the threshold of his palace, just before daybreak, hence steering clear of the boundaries of the boon given to the king by Lord Brahma. Here, the victory of good is celebrated in a peculiar way. People wake up before sunrise; prepare blood by mixing Kumkum in oil. Then, break a bitter fruit that represents the head of the demon King that was smashed by Krishna. After this, they apply the mixture of Kumkum on their foreheads. Then, they have an oil bath using sandalwood paste.

On the second day, Narak Chaturdashi, this day also called, Chhoti Deepawali -minor Deepawali- when after puja (worship) five lamps are lit at five strategic places in the house: the gateway, the barn, the well, the peepul tree and the kitchen. Traditionally, these lamps are of earthenware, filled with clarified butter into which cotton wicks are immersed. These days oil or wax is used instead of clarified butter. Nowadays, more people prefer candles to earthen lamps. In Maharashtra also, traditional early baths with oil and "Uptan" (paste) of gram flour and fragrant powders are a `must`

3rd Day - Diwali / Deepavali
The actual day of Diwali is celebrated on the third day of the festival, when the moon completely wanes and total darkness sets in the night sky. This day is also called Chhoti Diwali or Chopda Puja or Kali Chaudas. Hence, this day is also celebrated as the Puja of Goddess Lakshmi. During Laxmi Puja, small footprints are drawn with rice flour and vermilion powder all over the houses. This is a sign of arrival of Goddess Lakshmi, the Goddess of Fortune, Beauty, Prosperity and Wealth. Women believe this day to be auspicious and purchase some gold or silver or at least one or two new utensils. "Lakshmi-Puja" is performed in the evenings when tiny diyas (lamps) are lighted in a small clay vessel to drive away the shadows of evil spirits. "Bhajans"-devotional songs- in praise of Goddess Laxmi are sung and "Naivedya" (offering of food) of traditional sweets is offered to the Goddess. There is a peculiar custom in Maharashtra to lightly crush dry coriander seeds with jaggery and offer it as Naivedya.

Diwali is the day when Rama`s coronation was celebrated in Ayodhya after his epic war with Ravana, the demon king of Lanka. Ayodhya and Mithila, the kingdom of Sita`s father and many other cities bordering these kingdoms were lit up with rows of lamps, glittering on dark nights to welcome home the divine king Rama and his queen Sita after 14 years of exile, ending with an across-the-seas war in which, the entire Lanka was destroyed. It is believed that the people lit oil lamps along the way to light their path in the darkness. Every house in Ayodhya was illuminated to welcome them. The illuminations symbolize the removal of spiritual darkness from the country and the expression of Ram Rajya, the rule of Rama.

In North India, the festival is held on the final day of the Vikram samvat Calendar. The following day marks the beginning of the North Indian New Year, and is called Annakut. According to Vishnu Bhagawatham, devas and asuras churned the Milky Ocean to extract Amrut from it, during this process, Goddess Lakshmi was born. Attracted by her beauty, both the groups offered their best possessions as their gift. This day is celebrated as Diwali. During the Deepavali day, people also follow the tradition of gambling. There is a prominent belief that Goddess Parvati played dice with her husband, Lord Shiva, and predestined that any person on earth who would gamble on Diwali night will flourish throughout the following year. This tradition of playing cards- flush and rummy with stakes on this particular day continues even today.

4th Day - Padwa
This fourth day of Diwali falls on the first day of Karthik Masa of the Indian calendar. It is known as Varshapratipada or Pratipad Padwa. Varshapratipada that is the coronation of King Vikramaditya and Vikaram-Samvat was started from this Padwa day. Padwa is the beginning of the New Year. As the name suggests, this day is celebrated as the New Year`s Day amongst the Hindus. People visit temples and elderly people to seek their blessings and good wishes so that the New Year passes with ease. Businessmen start new account books and every kind of transaction, receipt or payment and business is postponed. On this day, many people gamble. This day is considered as the most auspicious day to start any new venture.

In many Hindu homes, the wife applies the red tilak on the forehead of her husband, garlands him and does his "Aarati" with a prayer for his long life. In appreciation of all the tender care that the wife showers on him, the husband gives her a costly gift. This Padwa is symbolic of love and devotion between the wife and husband. On this day, newly married daughters with their husbands are invited for special meals and given presents.

5th Day - Bhaubeej / Bhai Duj
Bhaiya Duj is known as Tikka in Punjab. In Vedic times, it was called Bhartri-dvitiya and on the `Shukla Paksha Dwitiya` in the Hindi month of `Kartik`. `Dwitiya` means `Duj` or the second day after the new moon. It is known by different names such as `Bhai-Dooj` in north India, `Bhau-Bij` in Maharashtra, `Bhai-Phota` in Bengal and `Bhai-Teeka` in Nepal. On this day, brothers and sisters meet and express their love and affection for each other.

The legends goes that Lord Yamraj, the God of Death, visited his sister Yamuna on the `Shukla Paksha Dwitiya` day in the Hindi month of `Kartik`. When he reached her house, she welcomed him by performing his aarti, applying `Tilak` on his forehead and by putting a garland around His neck. After his arm welcome, he gave a boon that if any brother visits his sister on this day he would be blessed with health and wealth. This is why; this day of Bhaubeej / Bhai Duj is also known by the name of `Yam-Dwitiya`. Thus, it has become a tradition that on the day of Bhai-Duj, brothers visit their sisters` house and offers those gifts, even sisters make various dishes and also give gifts to their brothers and wish for their long life, health and prosperity.

Another legend describes the day of Lord Krishna, when he reached his house; his sister Subadra was waiting for him and she the, welcomed him in the traditional way by performing his `aarti`, flowers and sweet and applied a holy `Tilak` on His forehead. This day also gained importance as a celebration of the relationship between a brother and sister.

Thus, Diwali is just not about lights, crackers, sharing sweets and worship of Lakshmi but it is also a chance for reconciliation. There are social gatherings and people exchange wishes. It teaches us to destroy ignorance and remove the darkness that covers the light of knowledge. This is a festival for young and the old, men and women, rich and poor; for everyone irrespective of their religious and economic background, the festival is celebrated throughout the country. Diwali is also celebrated outside India mainly in Asia, Africa, Britain, Fiji, Guyana, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mauritius, Myanmar, Nepal, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago and Thailand. Diwali is celebrated in South America and among the Hindus the entire world over.
