AIAC Eclipse of the Sun by Venus
Introduction

Transit of Venus on June 5 and 6 2012 is one of the hottest topics


in the astronomical and astrological circles. United Astrology
Conference 2012 was held recently [May 24 to May 29 2012] in New
Orleans, US and was an august gathering of world class astrologers
across the globe. The conference had a tag line called Venus on
the Rise, implying the transit of Venus having some major
astrological and astronomical implications and influence on human
life. Wikipedia mentions on the page Titled Transit of Venus a
very interesting sentence Ancient Indian, Greek, Egyptian,
Babylonian and Chinese observers knew of Venus and recorded the
planet's motions.

I am a jyotish so I obviously got recent inquiries on this


forthcoming event. Thus, after coming back from a wonderful
Saturday evening with friends, I thought it best to pen my thoughts
on this subject before I retire for the day.

A transit of Venus across the Sun takes place when the planet
Venus passes directly between the Sun and Earth, becoming visible
against (and hence obscuring a small portion of) the solar disk. This
means, from Earth, Venus, Sun and Earth are on the same plane.

During a transit, Venus can be seen from Earth as a small black disk
moving across the face of the Sun. A transit is thus identical to a
solar eclipse by the Moon. The most recent transit of Venus

Jyotish Reference on Venus

Maharaja Ballal Sen was the son of Vijay Sen. Vijay Sen founded the Sena Dynasty in Bengal. In the year 1169,
Maharaja Ballal Sen wrote a very cryptic jyotish text called Adbhuta Sagara. This text is amazing because it has
secrets which even though encrypted holds the key to interpretation of many celestial events which does not
find mention in other classical works.

Adbhuta Sagara also has references of lost jyotish works by Garga, Kashyap, Parasara and Bhrigu. I personally
consider this book a treasure to interpret matters related to mundane events.

In one such reference to Venus in astrology, Maharaha Ballal Sen quotes a very interesting phrase from jyotish
works of Vriddha Garga Hora. The phrase in Sanskrit is Shyamavarnaoabhighataya. This is can translated
as When Venus appears dark in the sky, it would indicate death and destruction.

As I have mentioned numerous times earlier to my students in jyotish, every text should be studied with
reference to Sthana, Kala and Patra. This was 12th century CE Bengal, text written by a King who was always
worried about attacks on his kingdom and the sustenance of his rule. The context is another important factor
to be considered. Before the above citation, Ballal Sen was referring to the various colors of Venus as it
appears in the sky being a factor that would indicate the kind of events to foresee.

In summary, after citing various ancient works, he tries to stress on a simple rule Brighter the Venus, the
better for humanity, darker its shade, the worse the news for mankind.

The next several quotes in the book deal with specific nakshtras Venus transits to predict finer results of its
outcome. I will go to this area in a bit but before that let me revisit a very fundamental concept on its transit
that I have already highlighted in the introduction.

Jyotish Fundamentals on Eclipse of the Sun

If I have to quote one favorite pastime of an ancient jyotishas, it would surely be encryption. Making very
simple concepts difficult to decipher was almost a habit for the ancients and I am sure they must have had
their reasons to do so. Nevertheless, leaving all jyotish jargons and complicated terms and terminology aside,
let us just visit a very simple astronomical concept called Solar Eclipse.

When the Moon, the Sun and the Earth align in such a way on the ecliptic such that the Moon comes between
the Earth and the Sun, a solar eclipse happens. Jyotish links the Moon to the mind, Sun to the soul and thus
the Solar Eclipse happens on a New Moon [Amavasya] that causing the eclipse of the Sun. Eclipse of the Sun
is related to Death and thus this time is very sensitive to all beings on the planets. The Graha that causes this
eclipse is the Moon and thus the mind makes mistakes that cause serious damage to the soul.

In the Transit of Venus, the Eclipse of the Sun appears to happen by Venus. In such a transit Venus appears
black and doesnt cover the Sun completely. Thus, this event can be interpreted as Venus [lust, desire, love]
making a mistake and the soul suffering the consequences.

The spot of the Eclipse

The place where the eclipse occurs is of amazing importance. On June 5, 6 2012, the eclipse of the Sun
happens on Rohini [about 21 degrees Taurus].

This zone is a very sensitive zone of the Zodiac and deals with sustenance of the human race. I have given
detailed talks on the nakshatras and interested readers can contact me on that issue.

Thus, the Prediction

My prediction is that the next 6 months after the Eclipse the world will see draughts, fire disasters and natural
calamities of a great extent. Particularly in South East Asia and the West Coast of the United States will need
to alert and ready for such events. Deaths of people are possible in these disasters.

In politics, sexual scandals will rise and prominent leaders will face such charges which could ruin their political
career.

Celebrities will go through a time period and the film industries across the globe will suffer due some
defamation and criticism.

Signs of economic revival will be extremely slow and stagnant for the next 6 months.

Way out, Remedies


Love and Compassion will be required for the next 6 months around the globe. People will need to be more
tolerant and accepting. Violence should not have any place in society and every individual should act with
wisdom and understanding.

Lack of rain this year and extreme heat is very probable and thus people should take adequate provisions to
sail through this period.

Vedic texts prescribe worship of Laxmi during this period of crisis.
