What is the Karaka for trucks? Venus for vehicles, Jupiter for heaviness and long distance, Mars for power?
Recently, big heavy trucks have been coming too close to my car and sometimes my car gets hemmed in. This never happened before, only recently since Venus entered Capricorn. I want to check what is happening.
Thanks.
That makes sense. Ever since Mercury entered Capricorn in December, is when it started on a more regular basis. Thanks.
Hi Manisha,
I don't know about an official truck karaka, but with Mars and Pluto transiting together with Venus, the main vehicle karaka, I would at least chant the Mahamrityunjaya mantra 3 times before starting your car before driving. They are all transiting your Asc./Rahu/Jupiter at the moment.
Not to be alarmist (I can't personally or specifically predict anything), just might need a little extra grace and protection around this time because thats what I did during difficult vehicle transits a few years ago. And of course you could also do it at home 11 or 21 or 108 times daily if you want to or have the time. I'm not good at that kind of discipline and consistency though.
However this is an excellent opportunity to become closer with Jupiter energy, as Jupiter is swashtha right now.
You may want to look up the connection between pranayama and strengthening a weak Jupiter, since it is involved with your ASC and Rahu, which would directly involve physical vitality making the energy field more robust. (you mentioned negative and pessimistic energy drains you in a very tangible way.) Corey Dowds wrote a brief article about the connection between Jupiter and pranayama.
If you've experienced lifelong energetic intrusions, it might feel good to experiment with "growing" prana in the ascendent. To produce a vital protective energy field as a vehicle in which to live and travel. Particularly brhmana or tonifying breathing exercises could be helpful, starting slowly, naturally, and carefully.
Since Jupiter is transiting your 3rd house it may be a good time to take up tai chi or even martial arts. (I like to think of Pisces as a rashi of Taoism, the water sign of the "Watercourse Way".) Especially if Mars is also weak, since Mars is a karaka of the 3rd, which we know as the house of martial skill and getting around in daily life/short term travel.
In fact, Jupiter's grace, as it transits it's own sign in your 3rd, may be protecting you during short-term or regular travels right now. So maybe harness that protective Jupiter energy if you can. Perhaps you will feel rewarded and reborn when Venus gets exalted there in a few months.
If I am to survive much longer or avoid becoming psychopath, I need to take my own advice and start Jupiter rehab myself, if possible, as mine is not only doubly starved in D1, but also debilitated in two key vargas including the trimshamsha, which Ernst says is even more fated than the D1. Then there is the 8th misery yoga with Saturn in another one. In fact Saturn and Mercury have all but kicked Jupiter out of my life this past decade and it feels very pathological and wrong.
Good Luck,
S.
Thank you. I will pay heed to your advice and also look up Corey Dowds article. Is there where he’s covered the “growing prana in the ascendant”? If not, could you expand on it?
LOL. I am not good or disciplined either at cross-legged meditation or mantras. For me, it becomes “there is a problem and it needs to be resolved”. But I am learning that some problems can’t be resolved, and then I pray for patience ????
Funny you mentioned martial arts, as I took up archery the day before Mars entered Capricorn ???? I had been thinking about it for a while, and when the thought popped up again, I looked up the closest range and went. It wasn’t pre-planned astrologically or in a predictive way, so it always amazes me how things line up with the transits. It’s like things happen without even doing anything ???? ????
Are you going through Jupiter MD? I don’t know your placements, but I know what you mean by “If I am to survive much longer or avoid becoming a psychopath”. One thing I found was Jupiter is expansion, but when the mind puts limits or brakes on Jupiter or gets scared about expanding, the expansion happens of the wrong thing. Since Jupiter is a gentle planet, it doesn’t kick back like Mars or Saturn would, which is a shame. It allows us to do what we want with it’s energy, and then it’s up to us to decide how and where to use it wisely.
