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 mythoughts 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.

During a transit, Venus can be seen from Earth as a smallblack disk moving across the face of the Sun.

While the diameter of Venus is almost four times that of the

Moon, Venus appears smaller, and travels more slowly

across the face of the Sun, because it is much farther away

from Earth.

Transits of Venus are among the rarest of predictable

astronomical phenomena. They occur in a pattern that

repeats every 243 years, with pairs of transits

separated by long gaps of 121.5 years and 105.5 years.

The periodicity is a reflection of the fact that the orbital

periods of Earth and Venus are close to 8:13 and 243:395

commensurabilities.

The next transit of Venus will occur on 5 and 6 June 2012,and will be the last Venus transit this century; the prior

transit took place on 8 June 2004. The previous pair of

transits was in December 1874 and December 1882. After

2012, the next transits of Venus will be in December 2117 and

December 2125.

The most recent transit of Venus

that was last observed from

Earth took place on June 8, 2004.

The event received significant

attention, since it was the first

Venus transit after the invention

of broadcast media. No human

alive at the time had witnessed aprevious Venus transit since that

transit occurred on December 6,

1882.

aharaja 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 eventhough 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 beinga 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 nakshatras 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.

f 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, leavingall 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.

he 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.

y 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 andready 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.

ove 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 adequateprovisions to sail through this period.

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