Grahan Yoga in Scorpion, Nov. 16, 2021- Effects and Remedies

On 16th November, 2021, the Sun is changing its place and will transit into the zodiac sign of scorpion. It is an important celestial event and is also known as surya sankraanti in astrological terms. 

Surya sankraanti is an important astrological event as it is widely used by astrologers to know the effects of other planets in transit on the lives of the natives. Astrologers keep a keen eye on the movement of the king of the planets i.e. the Sun for making future predictions. 

Till now, the Sun was in its debilitation sign Libra since last one month and this movement from the debilitated state will bring big relief to the specifications related to Sun. The Sun signifies father, immunity, government, bones, eyes, politics and most importantly our ego and our soul.  

This transit of sun will bring two major results:

• The sun will transit to its friend’s Mars’ sign scorpion.
• Ketu who is already present in the scorpion will create grahan yoga through its conjunction with Ketu.  

So, we can say it is little confusing situation getting both good and bad results. It is an important astrological event and thus needs to be understood by astrology enthusiasts. In this article we will discuss what this conjunction will bring for all zodiac signs and also the precautions and remedies that each of us should take to reduce the ill effects and at the same time to receive the good results of this transit of Sun.

A general interpretation:

Since Sun will move into Scorpion it is also called Vrishchik sankraanti. This sankraanti or transit is always considered good as the ascendant lord of Scorpion is Mars who shares friendly relations with the Sun.  

But at this time Mars is not in very good condition in transit and also the presence of Ketu in Scorpion will further afflict Sun creating grahan yoga. This is considered a negative yoga in astrology yielding inauspicious results in related fields. 

During its stay in Scorpion, the Sun will pass through Vishakha, Anuradha and Jyeshtha nakshatra. Sun remains at ease in all these nakshatras but the presence of Ketu will cause afflictions and the grahan will occur in Anuradha nakshatra.

In brief, Ketu is a spiritual planet that has no head. It can’t think and moves in one direction without analyzing much. Probably this is the reason that Ketu is mokshkaraka as it takes the native straight in one direction without getting stuck in materialistic world. Ketu represents emotions as well.

On the other hand, the Sun represents our soul as well as ego and when these two conjunct in a janam kundli they give a bold message to control or leave our ego to move forward on a spiritual path. A mokshkaraka planet is combining with soul giving sharp indications for spiritual growth. 

The conjunction will occur in Scorpion which is the eighth house of kaal purush kundali. It represents hidden place, secrets, transformation, occult, obstacles, death etc. 

As per mundane astrology, all influential people, authoritative figures and those politicians will face problems as the karaka of authority and power is being afflicted with Ketu causing grahan yoga. 

This conjunction will help anti national activities to surge during this period. Everyone around is advised to control anger and ego as the karaka is in affliction and spirituality must be the ultimate goal during this transit.
