Grahanila(Planetary positions) as on 1st Nov 2017

As on 1st November 2017 Sun & Mercury & Jupiter in Libra, Saturn in Sagitarius, Ketu in Capricorn, Moon in Pisces, Rahu in Cancer and Venus & Mars in Virgo. Planetary transits in November: 16th Sun -> Scorpio, 1st Mercury -> Scorpio, 2nd Venus -> Libra, 23rd Mercury -> Sagitarius, 26th Venus -> Scorpio and 29th Mars -> Libra. The above planetary positions is having a distinctive feature. All planets are in between Rahu & Ketu leaving one side (180°) empty which will continue up to 30th January 2018 (except on dates when Moon moves to other side) and astrologers call it "KALA SARPA YOGA". "Yoga" means assembly. "Kala Sarpa" written in English is having two meanings in Malayalam since "la(ല)" and "la(ള)" are different. First meaning is "time serpent" and other "black or deadly serpent". In India, perpetual nature of time has been represented as a circle of two serpents having their tails in the mouth of the other(in China it is dragons instead of serpents). As Rahu and Ketu are considered head and tail, all Grahas(Sun, Moon & 5 planets) will be inside a serpent and hence the name. The second meaning is having ill effects and troubles including death. As there wil be imbalance in the solar system (all Grahas are in one side of Rahu-Ketu), high volatility and swift downward movement in the market is expected (it's said "as above, so below").

Nifty is creating new highs again despite Venus and Mars both moving to Virgo and angular differeence more than 15 degrees. Last high was 10385 on 30th October, 2017. Next stages are 10409 and 10571. But, be on alert for a correction which is overdue.

The planetary positions given above are at the time of Sunrise in India(Kerala) and Moon's conjunction effect on markets may be seen in countries (Asia / Europe / US) where trading take places at the time of conjunction(10° - 0°). When the angular difference between the Moon and the planet at Sunrise is between 5 to 10 degrees and/or conjunction occurs in Rasis(constellations) other than the Sun's Rasi, there may be a delay up to 24 hours in the conjunction effect according to their positions {Note: expect only eighty percent accuracy in assumptions based on Moon's conjunction with Mars(-), Venus(-) and Jupiter(+) as some other astro factors may also influence the market}. Conjunction dates can be had from the table above. Figures given in brackets are Rasi number(0 through 11 starting from Aries), Degrees and Minutes.
