The Astrological eMagazine - October 2025

In this issue

The October 2025 issue applies classical Jyotisha principles to contemporary analysis, offering practitioners valuable tools to sharpen their analytical skills.
Raman Suprajarama provides a granular analysis of Jupiter's final days in Gemini, focusing on its transit through the last degrees of Punarvasu nakshatra. Using the Raman Ayanamsa, this article translates knowledge from Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and Jataka Parijata into precise, actionable guidance for each Moon sign.
Dr. B. V. Raman’s foundational essay, What Is Astrology?, articulates Jyotisha’s intellectual framework. He posits the discipline as a correlative science linking planetary order to terrestrial phenomena, defending its methods rooted in the intuition (divyadrishti) of the Rishis.
In a compelling model for political analysis, Prof. R. S. Maniam applies mundane astrology to the Russia-USA Summit. His examination of the event chart identifies the retrograde Saturn opposing Mars across the Pisces-Virgo axis as a key signature of intractable conflict.
Dr. T. Siddaiah’s Mindfulness in Bhagavadgita connects ancient scripture to a Jyotishi’s practical needs. The work demonstrates how tenets like non-attachment (Nishkama Karma) are essential for the mental clarity required for accurate astrological insight and spiritual progress.
Finally, Timeless Wisdom of Dr. Raman serves as a critical recalibration for practitioners. The editorial revisits crucial distinctions, including the strict criteria for true Yogas, the impact of functional malefics on planetary combinations, and the non-negotiable primacy of the Moon's natal nakshatra in calculating the Vimshottari Dasa.
