For Jupiter Transit 2012 I had predicted this for all those who were born in the Ascendant of Meena (Pisces).

Meena Lagna (Pisces Ascendant)

"You can expect - many short travels both for personal and professional reasons, visits to few prominent places of worship, and increase in inclination towards spiritual and religious literature."

And having born in the Ascendant of Meena myself, I checked recently if my predictions proved right for myself, and thankfully it did. I visited many places and countries between May 2012 and May 2013, I also visited couple of prominent places of worship, and as far as increase in inclination towards spiritual and religious literature is concerned it has always remained high.

Those were the days when I used to walk across people I have never met before and predict their past, present and future just like that without seeing their horoscopes. They were all amazed, and I was happy too with my new divine skill bestowed on me by the almighty. But it didn't last long. Not that I forgot the art of how to predict events by just looking at a person, but then I stopped it - because it didn't solve any purpose. People started to look at me as a magician, which I hated, and none understood the value of what I was doing. The first rule of life, which I understood after committing 1000s of mistakes, is - never give out anything free for none will respect it.

Ninety per cent of the people seek astrological help only after they get totally fucked up. Honestly there is no point blaming them. I haven't seen anyone yet seeking a doctor's help when they are perfectly alright. Things have to go wrong for people to believe, and it goes wrong for everyone - or else astrology and astrologers would have never survived for hundreds of years now.

I wasn't an astrologer then. Also I had not yet started to learn astrology from anyone. I just loved the subject, and was naturally inclined towards this divine science - thanks to my lineage of course. And as part of God's bigger plan I was the man who was put behind the launch of the astrology portal of Sify. The website was ready to be launched with only one astrologer on the panel. As a staunch believer of astrology myself - I made the site online at the best possible time (muhurta) astrologically and the time was chalked by our very own astrologer.

I waited for 11 long years to pen this particular blog, while the content was composed and ready in my mind on the day I met our math wizard Shakuntala Devi personally in the year 2002. I never wanted to tell this episode to the world when she was still alive. Now that she is no more.....here it is....

The planet Jupiter will be moving into Mithuna Lagna in the month of May 2013, and the effects of the same will start happening from the month of April 2013, and will go on till August 2013. People associated with me, my clients, my friends, the people reading this particular blog, their friends and their relatives will encounter the following important changes in the period mentioned above -

I was reading a beautiful report on Nelson Mandela, which I have posted in this particular blog. As I was going through the report, my astrological side prompted something. Will the years 2013 and 2014 prove fatal for this great soul - and unfortunately the answer was yes! We will have to bid adieu to this great soul very soon.

Though we live our lives to fulfil our own desires and aspirations, sometimes when you come across people who find themselves being benefitted by you knowingly or unknowingly - the happiness doubles - God knows for what reason. Here are three mails which I got in the month of March 2013 - which made me feel good about myself.

I was wondering who will be interested in knowing what I did this summer or last summer for that matter. But I thought - bloody who cares? Let me at least feel good about myself...hence the update...

I wanted to write a daily travelogue about my visits to Thailand, Hong Kong and Malaysia this time but then few experiences weren't that good that I could write about them immediately. This was my 2nd visit to Thailand in the last 2 years, and I should say things have definitely changed. The last time Thai Baht was half the value of Indian currency, and today it is double of Indian currency. If prostitution, ladyboys and Go Go bars can shoot your economy so much in just 24 months, India should seriously think on the same lines!
