𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐉𝐨𝐉𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬

A very specific post for people who like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and vedic astrology (assuming such people exist). After all, Tumblr is the place for very specific stuff, like Marquis de Sade memes.

Now let's get to the point.

Sun ☉

Giorno, DIO, Diego Brando, Jonathan

All of them are natural leaders who hate being bossed around. All of them crave power (except, maybe, Jonathan), though for different reasons. Having lots of pride, Diego and Dio take their hatred of humiliation to extreme levels, desiring to rule the whole world in order to be treated like gods, and finally erase their underprivileged pasts. They are also very narcissistic and put themselves above everyone else except their moms.

Jonathan and Giorno represent the holy side of the sun. Giorno shares with his father the same pride and deep hatred of humiliation, though he wants to be the king of his own world so no else will be humiliated like he was. Like the sun that share its light to all beings, Giorno and Jonathan love justice and treat everyone equally, punishing people only according to their wrongdoings and never for sadistic purposes. Both have warm and dignified manners. Jonathan is also the patriarch of the Joestars, a very solar status, given that Sun represents both fathers and authorities.

Giorno is canonically an Aries, so he has an exalted sun.

Moon ☾

Enrico Pucci, Guido Mista

Father Pucci is intelligent, passionate, devoted, attached to his kin, has a nurturing side and treats Dio's children as his own. The moon is a mirror of the sun, and Pucci is the follower of a solar figure, Dio. Also, he has a stand called C-Moon, which evolves from a baby raised by himself. No villain is more lunar than Pucci.

Mista is the faithful peer of another solar figure, Giorno. He also has a very childish stand and never forgets to feed salami to all six of them.

Mercury ☿

Josuke

Josuke is very light-hearted, youthful and witty, and can keep his cool even in the hardest moments. I don't even know his sign, but that's a pretty Gemini thing. Apart from his Peter Pan like personality, he also has a quick mind and great analytical skills.

Mars ♂

Jotaro, Jolyne, Iggy

All three of them give zero fucks to your feelings and are aggressive, athletic and action-driven. Jotaro is also a man of science and as a marine biologist, he's probably very good at math*, which is a lesser known trait of Mars.

Venus ♀

Mariah, Straizo, Shigechi, Yukako

I don't even need to explain Mariah. Straizo is very attached to his physical body and has a total aversion to the idea of becoming old, weak and ugly, which resembles the materialistic and vain side of Venus. His personality is very rajasic but at the same time cool, composed and noble, just like the vedic god of Venus, Shukra.

Shigechi is obsessed with money and Yukako is jealous and love-obsessed. Both can be taken as archetypes of the dark side of Taurus.

Jupiter ♃

Joseph Joestar

No matter how hard you try, you will never be as Sagittarian as Joseph Joestar. Joseph represents Jupiter's intense love of life and quest for thrilling experiences. Jupiter is also a planet of elevated intellect, and even though Joseph is a school dropout, his enthusiasm for literature and history can be seen through his many bookish references, from Sun Tzu to Jules Verne. Furthering your knowledge just for the sake of it and not because someone told you to is a very Jupiterian thing.

Not to mention Joseph's devilish good luck, which just can't not be Jupiter's work.

Saturn ♄

Johnny Joestar

The ultimate saturnine man, who attains wisdom through intense pain and suffering. Johnny is persistent, hardworking and resilient, still he doesn't believe himself, thanks to his cruel father and the death of his elder brother, of which Johnny feels guilty. Shame, guilt, death, a weak body, oppression, a harsh father and the weight of past experiences: all Saturnian themes permeating Johnny's life and making his sensitive soul thougher, until suffering becomes power, resulting in the liberation of mind and body. In short, Johnny's saga can be literally taken as a lesson on how Saturn works. In vedic tradition, Saturn is represented as a handicapped man (in analogy to the planet's slow moves) and is associated with the color blue; that's very easy to relate with Johnny's own physical condition and color aesthetic. Gyro describes Johnny as having "the eyes of a killer", and the vedic god Saturn is known for having a look so fierce no one dares to look at his eyes. Johnny Joestar is the incarnation of Saturn! This is going to be my headcanon from now on.

Rahu ☊

[Lunar North Node]

Funny Valentine

Power, ambition, politics and conspiracies are all under the domain of Rahu, and Valentine is among all JoJo characters the best representative of those themes. A master of deceitfulness with a one-track mind, he collects allies for purposes they can't even imagine, and that can change the fate of the entire world. It doesn't get more Rahu-ish than this.

Ketu ☋

[Lunar South Node]

Diavolo

Ketu is the shadow planet of ghosts, mysteries and everything otherworldly, which fits Diavolo perfectly: given the supernatural circumstances of his birth, we're not even sure he's a human being. Ketu is the planet of detachment, losses and disappearances, acting like a cosmic eraser; Diavolo's power is literally to erase time.

Speaking of losses and detachment, Diavolo has given up on his own identity, living as an anonymous hermit. Like Ketu, he's invisible and can be perceived only through his influence.

He was also raised in a church, which resembles Ketu's connection to the spiritual realms.

Finally, Ketu is the demon who lost its own head. That could be an accurate description of Diavolo.

*Yes, marine biology has lots of mathematics. This single piece of information ruined all my childhood dreams.

I don't know who made this Diavolo fanart but it's so pretty I just had to use it!

deep-fried-cock

I personally think a lot of people are really their Vedic sign, they just are attached to their western sign because that’s what they are used to/been their whole life, and they don’t want to let it go lol.

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐚 𝐏𝐚𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐢: 𝐕𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲'𝐬 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐡𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐦𝐬

Everything has a vibration in the cosmos. When you are in tune with it, we feel happy and we are successful in our endeavors.

[I'll start by just pasting an excerpt from this website 'cause I'm bad at explaining things]

" In Tamil Nadu, there was a group of people called “Siddhars”, they observed the Cosmic pattern outside and were able to correlate it to what was happening within us. They came up with a pattern based on the rise and fall of elements in the cosmos and observed how it affected every individual in a unique way. This pattern helped them to align themselves with the cosmic energy that was operating. They called this system as “Panchapakshi” to figure out auspicious and inauspicious timings. Pancha means 5 and Pakshi means bird.

It is based on the 5 Elements – (Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Ether). We are all nothing but a combination of these 5 elements. These 5 elements act in 5 different ways (activities) throughout the day. The pattern differs based on Weekdays, Phases of the Moon etc.

So based on the above, the 5 elemental vibrations are classified as birds or pakshis (Peacock, Cock, Crow, Vulture and Owl) and they perform 5 different activities. The Panchapakshi system helps you understand your biorhythm for a particular moment on a particular day. And we are all associated with one of the 5 birds based on our Janma Nakshatra [moon's nakshatra at the time of birth].

How to use Panchapakshi in your everyday life?

The first step is to find your own Pakshi (Peacock, Vulture, Owl, Cock or Crow)

Every bird performs 5 activities in a predetermined order based on various things like day, time, waning/waxing moon etc.

The 5 activities are Succeed, Energize, Action, Relax and Caution. [Also known as Ruling, Eating, Walking, Sleeping and Dying]

At any given time no two birds can perform the same activity. They are all doing 5 unique activities.

The bird that is doing the higher grade activity wins against the bird that is doing the lower grade activity.

• Plan your day by looking at what your bird is going to do and at what time.

• Use Succeed to do the most important activities of the day followed by Energize if you cannot find a suitable Succeed timing.

• Avoid doing important activities during Relax and Caution.

• Keep tab of the days when your bird is in succeed and caution throughout the day.

• Use the attributes of the birds to align with the bird that is most powerful at any given moment.

Success and Caution Days

Every day has certain days where the entire day the bird is in “Succeed” mode – They are golden days for the bird. The bird is extremely powerful during that time. So if you combine your overall Succeed day with a Succeed activity it promises great fortune and success.

Similarly, there are days when the bird is in “caution” mode throughout the day. They are considered dead days for the bird. The bird is extremely weak during that time. So during this day it is best to avoid auspicious beginnings. These days are great for meditation and spiritual practices.

So the days when your bird has a success day, the succeed and energize moments becomes doubly auspicious.

The days when your bird has a caution day, the caution and relax moments become doubly inauspicious."

᪣᪣᪣

As stated in the above article, the combinations between the 27 nakshatras and two fortnights of the moon [pakshas] are classified into 5 categories ["birds"]. Every person has their own "bird" and their biorhythms are linked to their birth bird. These biorhythms are classified into 5 categories [yamas], from highest in energy [ruling] to weakest [dying]. Each yama lasts 2 hours and 24 minutes, from sunrise to sunset [day] and sunset to sunrise [night].

Above you can see an example of a Pancha Pakshi table from this app called Kundli.

The best time to pursue any activity is when your bird is either ruling or eating and the worst, when he's sleeping or dying. Walking is a neutral activity. There are also days of the week when your bird is in best shape, and days when he's in the weakest state.

[Read my post on Panchang if you don't know what Shukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha means]

You can easily find out your bird by making your birth chart at Kundli. The end of this post will also feature a list of nakshatras and their respective birds.

It's important to notice, however, that the time of the yamas is calculated starting from sunrise, which means each yama will start a different time according to the city you live in. Kundli calculates yamas according to the current sunrise time of your birth town. This is not a problem as long as you live in the same town you were born, but if you live in a different place, you will have to make a slight adaption: take the first activity you see in your table as starting from the sunrise in your current town to the next 2 hours and 24 minutes. The subsequent activities should have the same length. The same must be done for night time activities, starting from sunset time in your current town.

If you want to get specific, each yama has sub-yamas, so you can see the exact hour when your bird will be in the highest or lowest vibration. No app has so much information gathered in the same place, so if you want to have a deeper understanding of the subject, I recommend the Pancha Pakshi bible, Biorhythms of Natal Moon.

Just remember: Pancha Pakshi is not about feeling good or bad; it's about luck or lack of it. Your bird's biorhythms are not indicatives of your mood, but of when things are more or less likely to work in your favor. If you don't believe in luck, stop reading this and get out of my Tumblr, you peasant!

Bonus: Using Pancha Pakshi the evil way

If you want to get something from someone, or just win an argument, it's crucial that you know the person's bird. Interact with the person when your bird is at highest and their bird is at lowest. Believe me, it works.

᪣᪣᪣

A curious fact: I was writing this post while my bird, the owl, was in dying state. Turns out Tumblr didn't save the draft and I had to start it all again, writing on Google Keep. So when owl is in ruling state and I reopen Tumblr, my draft was there!

You are not the hero of a Greek tragedy just because you're having a bad day. Chill, King Oedipus. CHILL.

Your mood swings will have less power over you when you accept them as a natural part of your life instead of fighting against them

Planning your day according to the stars

Nakshatras, tithis, pakshas, yogas and karanas are some of the main elements of the panchang, the sidereal astrology based Hindu calendar. They represent the moon's current phase, position and alignment, and are useful to determine the overall auspiciousness of the day and its most favorable and unfavorable activities. If you believe in planning your day according to the stars, a panchang app is a must have. As a first look at the panchang can be a very confusing experience for someone who isn't familiarized with the vedic astrology terms, this posts seeks to be your helping hand by giving a detailed explanation of the elements mentioned in the start of this paragraph and how you can apply them to your daily life. Other than the things said here, panchang also contains lots of utilities for astrology enthusiasts like current rising sign, sun rise hour, moon rise hour and many other things. Now let's get to the point:

Pakshas

Pakshas are the two fortnights of the moon. Shukla Paksha is waxing/full moon, while Krishna Paksha is waning/new moon.

Shukla Paksha is mostly auspicious while Krishna Paksha is mostly inauspicious, though the pakshas alone aren't enough to decide the auspiciousness of a day. In general terms, the farther from the full moon, the worst, and the closer, the better. If Moon is afflicted in your natal chart, Krishna Paksha can actually be more favorable to you than Shukla Paksha, as Moon will be in a weaker state and thus will have less power to generate obstacles in your life.

Tithis

Tithis are lunar days, which are calculated according to the moon's relative position from the sun. There are 30 tithis:

PRATIPADA

Favorable for all activities except traveling. Means increase.

DWITYA

Auspicious. Good for starting things.

TRITYA

Means powerful. Good for taking care of body, beauty and health, and for building and undertaking projects.

CHATURTHI

Means cruelty. Is unfavorable and specially not good for traveling and starting new activities.

PANCHAMI

An excellent day for traveling, learning and obtaining wealth. Means prosperity.

SHASHTI

A regular tithi. Good for most things except traveling and marriage. Favours effort.

SAPTAMI

Auspicious for all activities. Means friendliness.

ASHTAMI

Not good for starting new projects but good for working hard on what's been already started. Not favorable for romance due to its aggressive nature. Means conflict.

NAVAMI

Not favorable for traveling. Good for business and for taking positions of authority. Means fierce.

DASHAMI

Excellent for traveling. This tithi brings happiness and has a very lighthearted energy. Means gentleness.

EKADASHI

Means bliss. Very auspicious for anything except starting new projects. Brings good reputation.

DWADASHI

Good for study, learning, construction and undertaking new projects. Not good for traveling as it may result in financial loss.

TRAYODASHI

Favorable for making friends, constructing alliances, pursuing education and starting something. Means victory.

CHATURDASHI

This tithi has an aggressive energy and is mostly unfavorable.

PURNIMA

The day of full moon. Very auspicious for anything except traveling and new projects.

The remaining tithis that lead to the new moon have the same name and meanings mentioned above.

AMAVASYA

The day of new moon. Unfavorable for most things except religious and spiritual practices. Traveling is forbidden.

Karana

A karana is half a lunar day. There are 11 karanas:

BAVA

Very auspicious. Means strength, vitality, health.

BALAVA [BAALAV, BAALAVA]

Auspicious. Represents charity and spirituality.

KAULAVA

Favorable for social contact and any type of relationship.

TAITILA

A Karana associated with construction and house building. Also favors popularity.

GARA

Favorable for gardening, seeding, farming and any activities related to land and home. Propitious for undertaking new projects.

VANIJA

Favorable for business, exchanges, financial and public activities, all types of relationships and associations, and for starting long lasting friendships.

VISHTI

A very inauspicious karana and destructive karana that attracts violence.

SAKUNI

Favorable for healing, health, taking medicine and administering herbs.

CHATUSHPADA

Favorable for politics and public affairs as well as animal related activities.

NAGA

Another inauspicious karana that brings warlike energies.

KINTUGHNA

An auspicious karana that enhances virtue and spirituality. Favorable for marriages, religious cerimonies, acts of charity and activity made with unconditional love.

Nakshatras

Nakshatras are lunar mansions, or small sections of wider constellations like Virgo, Sagittarius, Orion etc. While not all of them belong to a zodiacal constellation, every nakshatra belongs to a zodiac sign, because even for sidereal astrology, signs and constellations are not the same thing. Though nakshatras are are of fundamental importance in natal chart interpretation, I will focus on their use in daily life. Each nakshatra has its own shakti (power) and, unlike tithis and yogas, most of them aren't necessarily good or bad. As nakshatras have a complex symbolism, their favorable and unfavorable activities are also open to much interpretation. Taking notes on their influence on our daily lives is the best way to learn about them. There are 27 nakshatras:

ASHWINI ♈

This is a nakshatra of healing and is presided by the gods of medicine. It has the power of quickly obtaining things. Favorable for starting anything. It has a strong energy and is favorable for traveling but unfavorable for cultivating ground. It's ruled by Ketu, the South lunar node.

BHARANI ♈

Bharani is ruled by Yama, the god of the death, and has the power to take things away. It has a strong restraining energy and brings discipline and order, removing everything that has already fulfilled its roled. It's controlled by the planet Venus.

KRITTIKA ♈♉

This solar nakshatra is ruled by Agni, the god of fire, and has the power of renewal. Means purification and removes negative energies. Is favorable for the daily mundane activities as well as anything related to purification.

ROHINI ♉

Rohini is a nakshatra of fertility ruled by the Moon himself. It has the power of growth. It's favorable for gardening, farming, romance, traveling, beauty, creative pursuits and anything that is related to growth and fertility. It's associated with the creator god Prajapati. Days ruled by Rohini are very auspicious.

MRIGASIRA ♉♊

Mrigasira is presided by the Moon God and the planet Mars and has the power of bestowing fulfilment. It's mostly favorable for all activities.

ARDRA ♊

Ardra means teardrop and is ruled by God Shiva and the Lunar North Node. It's a nakshatra of struggle, which enhances strength. Represents constant effort and hardships and it's not meant for the weak. If you want things to run smoothly, avoid days ruled by Ardra nakshatra. And if you're a Scorpio, that's the worst day for you - as the it means the moon is going through your eighth house, which won't make things any easier.

PUNARVASU ♊♋

Punarvasu is presided by motherly goddess Aditi and ruled by Jupiter, thus a very gentle and auspicious nakshatra, favorable for all activities except the ones that demand suspiciousness and aggressiveness, like taking legal actions. It has the power of wealth.

PUSHYA ♋

This nakshatra has the power of mysticism. It's ruled by planet Saturn and god Jupiter (Brihaspati). It favours meditation, worship, prayer, art philosophy and higher education. Brings auspiciousness.

ASHLESHA ♋

Ashlesha is a fierce nakshatra ruled by Mercury and the serpent gods known as Nagas. It represents removal of obstacles and victory over enemies. It has the power of poison and is associated with medicine and drugs.

MAGHA ♌

Magha is ruled by the ancestor gods Pitras and the South Lunar Node. It's a nakshatra of ghosts and burial grounds. It has the power of leaving the body, granting access to the supernatural realms. It's also a nakshatra of power and status, represented by a royal throne. It favours any activity related to the past, the dead, power, career, history, museums, the positions of authority and the public life. Also good for finishing things.

PURVA PHALGUNI ♌

Ruled by Venus, it has the power of procreation. Good for all activities related to union and fertility. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

UTTARA PHALGUNI ♌♍

Uttara Phalguni is a nuptial nakshatra with the power of bestowing prosperity through alliances, specifically marriages. It is ruled by the Sun. Favorable for love as well as all sorts of diplomatic and contractual relationships.

HASTA ♍

Hasta is ruled by Moon and its name means "the blessing hand". It has the power of fulfilling wishes and achieving goals quickly and fully. Hasta's vibration is positive and revitalizing. It's favorable for most activities, but shows greater potential with those related to its sign, Virgo: crafts, domestic work, traveling, organizing etc.

CHITRA ♍♎

Chitra is the star of merit and it is ruled by Mars and the celestial architect Vishwakarma. It has a solene feel to it, as it means divine justice and dharma. Chitra bestows the fruit of our good deeds. Good for justice, spirituality and all that is related to Libra.

SWATI ♎

The star of transformation, ruled by the Lunar North Node and the god of wind, Vayu. It has the power of change and movement. Like the wind, Swati removes obstacles and spreads freedom.

VISHAKA ♎♏

The star of harvest, ruled by Jupiter along with the king of gods Indra and the fire god Agni, two of eldest vedic deities. As its name suggests, it's another nakshatra related to reaping the results of our deeds. It favours slow, long term changes. Due to its highly spiritual energy, it also favours mysticism and connection to superior realms.

Anuradha is ruled by Saturn and has the power of faithfulness, modesty and worship. It has a balanced and virtuous energy, bestowing success through a honorable conduct.

JYESHTA ♏

Ruled by Mercury and Indra, Jyeshta is a warrior nakshatra with the power of conquering through courage, blessing us with strength to fight our battles. Favorable for all that requires effort, discipline and responsibility.

MULA ♐

Ruled by the South Lunar Node and has the power of destruction. It means cutting roots. Like Shiva Nataraja, Mula annihilates what is old and wasted in order to bring down a new creation.

PURVASHADHA ♐

One more fierce nakshatra, ruled by the half-demon warrior god Venus (yes, it's a he, it's a half demon and it's a warrior, might write an article about it later) and the water deity Apas. It has the power of cleansing. Like a waterfall, it brings revitalization through deep purification.

UTTARASHADHA ♐♑

The invincible nakshatra, ruled by the Sun, with the power of victory. Extremely lucky.

Ruled by the Moon and Vishnu, Shravana has the power of connection. Like Anuradha, it has a receptive energy and brings people together. It favours solidarity and cooperation.

BONUS: PLANETARY LORDS OF DAY AND HOUR

In vedic astrology there's a planetary lord for each day of the week and each hour of the day, a concept that was also widely popular in medieval Western astrology. In India it's mostly used to determine the best times to worship each of the nine planetary gods, or Navagrahas, though planetary hours and days can also be useful for mundane tasks. The favorable subjects of the weekdays are the ones attributed to their ruling planets: law and religion for Jupiter, beauty and pleasure for Venus, intellect for Mercury, growth and nourishment for Moon etc.

The rulers of the weekdays (varas) are the same as in Western tradition:

Monday [Somavara] - Moon

Tuesday [Mangalavara] - Mars

Wednesday [Budhavara] - Mercury

Thursday [Guruvara] - Jupiter

Friday [Shukravara] - Venus

Saturday [Shanivara] - Saturn

Sunday [Ravivara] - Sun

The rulers of the planetary hours (hora) vary according to the day, the ruler of the first hour of the day (when the sun rises) being always the ruler of the current weekday. Every panchang app has a section that shows the current planetary hora.

The lunar nodes Ketu and Rahu don't rule any specific day or hour, but if one seeks their favor is advisable to avoid the hours and days ruled by their enemies: Sun and Moon.

Applying panchang to your daily routine

In the app Suryalaya, one of the few astrology apps to feature the Galactic Center ayanamsa, we can have a view of today's (now yesterday's, it's past midnight as I write this) panchang.

Today is a Thursday, day of Jupiter

Tithi Chaturdashi - aggressiveness

Nakshatra Vishaka - changes, harvesting the results of our deeds

Yoga Shiva - bliss

Karana Vanija - union

Regarding to auspiciousness, we can say that today is a regular day. Tithi chaturdashi and nakshatra Vishaka, combined with the moral straightness of Jupiter, suggests this is a highly karmic day where people will be treated according to their actions. Those who have been righteous will be rewarded and those who have been in the wrong path will go through some sort of punishment. As the day has both elements of assertiveness and empathy, we can also reach the conclusion that this is a favorable moment for solving differences through deep and honest discussion, using angry in a constructive way.

Because it's hard to find all this information reunited in a single place, I wrote this post as a cheat sheet for those who want to use panchang as a guide for their daily activities. Though the content here is very summarized and doesn't make justice to the wonderful complexity of vedic astrology, I hope it can somehow be useful to the reader.

What does sidereal mean?

Sidereal is a different way of calculating the zodiac, as opposed to tropical, which is the most popular zodiac in the Western (America, Europe) world. Sidereal has the same calculations used in Vedic (Indian) astrology. Tropical (what you’re normally hearing of) is based on the seasons, the Sun always moves into Aries on the first day of spring. It’s fixed in place.

Sidereal and Vedic are calculated not on the seasons, but on the location of the constellations, which change over time. The Tropical zodiac was once accurate, like a long time ago (I’m bad at history lol, I can’t remember if it was medieval times), but it isn’t anymore in terms of where the stars are in the sky. So when you hear things about that 13th sign that starts with an O, people are just like pointing out that the Tropical zodiac no longer matches the sky, but there’s still no use for the ‘13th sign’.

Anyways it’s something I’ve been exploring because I’ve always resonated with both my tropical and my sidereal charts, but the more I move into myself the more that I feel like my sidereal is the ‘real’ chart. The two systems are currently 25 degrees apart, and so generally the planets in your (tropical) chart are shifted back one sign. So if you were born between 0-25 degrees of a Taurus, for example, it’s moved back to Aries.

This is going to be a fast-paced month marked by the start of Gemini season at day 11.

An intellectual, enthusiastic and a little superficial time during which curiosity, communication and everything related to the the mind will be highly enhanced and everyone will feel like sharing their thoughts and opinions. It's a productive moment for those who work in the communication field like journalists, writers, post officers and publicists.

Good for taking short term decisions but better avoid the long term ones.

Notable moments:

☞ 06/13 - Moon conjunct Mars in Pisces: As Mars leaves rebel Aquarius and joins gentle Pisces, people are going to feel more empathetic but also less courageous. This aspect may bring blood-related health problems for Aries and Leo.

☞ From 06/11 to 07/13: Sun, Mercury and North Node conjunction: All Geminian traits will be very exalted. There's a risk of stress due to mental overwork, and people may impulsively say things that they will later regret. An excellent time for learning, written communication and inland journeys.

☞ 06/21- Moon joins the triple conjunction in Gemini: The peak of Gemini season

☞ 06/09 - Moon conjunct retrograde Saturn in Capricorn: This day should not be taken lightly as it is a time to be dedicated towards work and responsibilities. Do what needs to be done first and take some time for yourself later.

Moon signs and rising signs: it's the best month for Gemini, Leo and Taurus and the worst month for Scorpio and Cancer.

Yogakaraka Planets

If you have an ascendant in: Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn or Aquarius you have a yogakaraka planet.

In a whole-house system you have a yogakaraka planet, or a planet that rules an angular (kendra) and cadent/succedent (trikona) house at the same time.

For example, a Taurus ascendant would have both Capricorn in the 9th and Aquarius in the 10th making Saturn its Yogakaraka planet.

The condition of the Yogakaraka planet can worsen or support the house and aspects made to that planet natally and during transits, and greatly affects the houses that planet rules.

The relationship of aquarius with groups is a complex one tbh. Yes aquarius want to socialize and inspire/help others but once this group becomes more consuming, controlling and possesive over aquarius, aquarius will shift from group mentality to independence and go off on their own. Once people seem like they want to own aquarius presence/personality and group with others aquarius will see that this is the type to be out of said group. It's a way to keep the authenticity of one's personality and control over their own lives. Cause after all while aquarius may like to socialize, help and connect they will not do it on the expense of losing who they are, what they stand for and for their uniqueness/originality. This pendulum like behavior will be present throughout their lives, whether romantic or platonic. It's the tug between uranus (conntion, groups, socializing and progression) and saturn (authority, independence, power and being on your on). Also the shift from Leo (ego, leadership and confidence) to aquarius (groups, friendships and relationships).
