Vedic Astrology Part II Online Classes
Because you either have taken Basic Principles of Vedic Astrology Part-I before or you have a good knowledge of Vedic astrology, I’m offering an online class/course in Basic Principles of Vedic astrology PART-II of six sessions of two hours each on every other Thursday 7 to 9 pm (Central Time) starting January 8.
The Principles of Vedic Astrology are presented in two parts, Part I and Part II. The prerequisite for Part II is Part I. Part II will cover the prediction part of the analysis that includes the timeline. You will learn the most important concept of planetary cycles based on the lunar position in the natal chart–Dasha system. The incorporation of the Gochar (transit) and the Navamansha (Ninefold) Gochar (transit) chart in concert with the Dasha system will then follow. And finally the inclusion of the relationship of the transiting planets with respect to their natal chart positions will be explained.
With active student participation this course is expected to be fun and an enjoyable learning exploration. In addition several example charts will be used to enhance the learning experience. For details click here.
Monthly predictions for April 2025
The month of April, especially the first half, is extremely eventful and unprecedented period from the planetary alignments standpoint. During the first ten days of the month, the slow moving outer planets: Neptune, Saturn, the north lunar node Rahu and two inner retrograde planets: Mercury and Venus come together with in three degrees in sidereal Pisces. Among these planets Mercury, Venus and Saturn are friends with each other. However, the water sign Pisces is not conducive for the debilitated Mercury’s energy. But Venus enjoys Pisces where she is exalted. Saturn tends to be neutral in Pisces.
The north lunar node Rahu doesn’t find Pisces friendly. While Rahu can be friendly with Mercury and Venus, it doesn’t get along with Saturn and Neptune. At material level Saturn’s energy may contradict with Neptune’s energy but, at spiritual level both planets come together in most spiritual sign of the zodiac, Pisces. So it’s quite a mixed picture. At individual level, depending on the currently active planets in respective transit charts will dictate the outcome based on the planetary configurations in individual’s natal charts.
At collective level, these five planets during the first half of April are likely to cause havoc in global politics with unexpected seismic shifts. Particularly, the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war is likely to further escalate into uncharted territory. The world economy, particularly, the US economy is likely to experience extreme man-made volatility. The conflict between the Trump administration and the US congress may quickly begin to rise demanding the quick action.
Recent world events already reflect these astrological shifts, reinforcing themes of upheaval, unpredictability, and restructuring. The ongoing legal and political battles surrounding Donald Trump mirror the effects of Rahu-Neptune conjunction, while the widening divide between the Trump administration and democrats along with few republicans suggests rising political instability. The Ukraine-Russia war is also intensifying as Saturn nears Rahu in sidereal Pisces. Ukraine, bolstered by Western support, already began making strategic advances, while Russia faces internal challenges. Similarly, the Middle East remains highly volatile, with tensions escalating between Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah. The Gaza humanitarian crisis and Lebanon-Israel border clashes reflect Saturn’s restrictive influence alongside Neptune’s tendency to obscure solutions.
Financial markets have experienced extreme volatility, aligning with Saturn, Uranus, and Rahu’s disruptive influence in key financial houses. The Federal Reserve’s recent stance on interest rates, stock market swings, and inflation concerns underscore these planetary effects.
As far as transits are concerned during mid-March through mid-May five outer planets: Mars, Jupiter, Rahu, Saturn and Uranus transit from one zodiac sign to the next (for Rahu to the previous). This happens once in a century or over a longer period. And this may signal, collectively, a profound transformation in global politics, economies, and societal structures. Historically, such planetary shifts have coincided with major world events, revolutions, or power transitions, making this a crucial period of global restructuring.
The manifestation of energy of the retrograde Mercury (until April 7) and Venus (until April 13) will be reflected in challenges that we face in our daily life. The shift in energy due to transits of Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu and Mars has been and will be felt both at the collective and individual level in next three months.
Despite the turmoil, the long-term alignment of Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto suggests that while material challenges will intensify, they are part of a broader evolutionary process. These shifts could redefine leadership, governance, and financial systems for decades to come. April 2025 is a month of intense planetary realignments, signaling the beginning of profound global change. Continue reading…

Jagdish C. Maheshri
Jagdish C. Maheshri, Ph.D. is a chemical engineer who has been pursuing his interest in astrology in general, and Vedic astrology in particular since 1966. He has analyzed and interpreted thousands of charts and has been researching astrology as a science for nearly forty five years. He discovered a method by which he can accurately time a prediction, the unique Ninefold Progression technique, which can be applied to both the natal and progressive horoscope charts of an individual. He has explained the technique and its application in detail in his book, “It’s all in Timing”.
He believes that the very nature in which astrology affects an individual has kept it from being universally accepted. Because it is very easy for a normal individual to become overwhelmed with astrology to the extent that the individual loses control of his or her life by literally becoming a slave of astrology. But when used as guidance, astrology becomes a blessing. It allows a person to enrich and enhance his life by helping uncover his hidden talents and abilities, it further helps him discover who he or she is, and even helps provide meaning to life.
As a professional astrologer with over forty years of practice, he has convincingly explained the nature of rapid evolutionary human growth, especially in the area of technical fields in last couple of centuries through the influence of planetary motions on our collective human conscious.
According to him, astrology never solves your problems. It’s you who solve them! But you can benefit from astrology when you consider it as a means of personal guidance, a source of second opinion, or a way of confirming things that you already have some idea about. It certainly can be treated as a science of preventive maintenance through the insight it provides us to understand our weaknesses, strengths, capabilities and limitations; and the dynamic nature of our life. Having some guidance about our natural aptitudes, capabilities, and limitations, astrology certainly provides an opportunity to improve our chances of making best life choices and set right life goals. With the help of knowledge of favorable as well as not-so-favorable periods an individual can use that knowledge to his or her advantage to achieve most in life.
Since 2010 Mr. Maheshri has been serving as NCGR Research Director. He is a practicing contemporary Vedic astrologer. He has published and presented papers at Baltimore and Philadelphia NCGR conferences on earthquake models. In 2012 he spoke at the United Astrology Conference. Recently he spoke at the Oriental Heritage conference in New Delhi and won the outstanding global astrologer award. He is a recipient of Catherine & Ernest 2016 research grant. He teaches (online) Vedic astrology, authored several articles, appeared on radio shows, and hosts this website. His current research interests include natural and man-made calamities, political global events, world economical expansion, and spiritual human evolution.
