Samvatsara Phala basing on birthstar

Pushkara Celebrations to Reva (Narmada) river: This year, Jupiter enters into Taurus on 01 May 2024 at 1:00 PM. Hence, Pushkara celebrations to river Narmada will start from then on till 12 May 2024. This river flows through Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat between Vindhya and Satpura hill ranges, before falling into the Gulf of Cambay in the Arabian Sea about 10 km North of Bharuch, Gujarat. It is the 5th longest river and overall the longest west-flowing river in India. It is also the largest flowing river in the state of Madhya Pradesh.It is also known as the "Life Line of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat" due to its huge contribution to the two States in many ways. The Narmada River rises from the Amarkantak Plateau in Anuppur district of Madhya Pradesh. It forms the traditional boundary between North India and South India. There are many stories about the origin of the Narmada River. According to the Reva Khand, the Narmada was created from Shiva's perspiration, while he was performing penance on Mount Riksha. Due to this, the Narmada River is known as Shiva's daughter. In another legend, two tear drops fell from the eyes of Brahma, the creator of the universe, which resulted in the birth of the sacred river Narmada and Sun, the chief of the Solar system.

Narmada is also considered sacred, because of the pebbles known as Bana-linga, that are found on the river bed. The pebbles are made up of White quartz and are linga-shaped. They are believed to be the personified form of Shiva and there is a popular saying, "Narmada Ke Kanker utte Sankar", which means that 'Shiva is in the pebbles of Narmada'. Important towns on the banks of the river Narmada are Jabalpur, Narmadapuram, Omkareshwar, Dewas, Mandla and Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh, and Rajpipla and Bharuch in Gujarat. Ancients call Narmada river as "Rewa".It has been an important trade route connecting Kaushal, Prayag, Banaras, Pataliputra, etc. to western and southern India.

Vastu Kartari & Agni Kartari: This time is prohibited for construction activities as per Vedic Astrology. Transit of Sun in Bharani-3 to Rohini-2 Asterism is called as Vastu Kartari. This year on 4th May 2024, Sun enterts 3rd pada of Bharani Asterism. It enters Rohini-2 on May 28 at 8.08PM. This Vastu Kartari period prohibits Ground-breaking ceremonies for any construction activities. But House-warming ceremonies can be carried out.

Agni Kartari period is reckoned as per the transit of Sun in Krittika & Rohini asterisms. From 11 May 2024 (12.34 PM) to 4th June (08.46AM), Sun transits in Krittika and Rohini asterisms. In this period, digging of wells, construction of houses with grass and palmyrah leaves are prohibited.

Inauspicious time for marriages etc: Auspicious benefic planets Jupiter and Saturn, when conjunct with Sun during their transit, will become powerless and loose their benefic nature. Hence this period is not good for auspicious functions. This year from 05 May 2024 to 01 June 2024 Jupiter is conjunct with Sun, resulting in Guru Moudhyami.
Likewise, Venus conjuncts with Sun from 28 April 2024 to 10 July 2024, and again from 19 March 2025 to 26 March 2025. This will be called as "Sukra Moudhyami. However, this principle is not followed in Karnataka and many other Northern States.

Global Trends

USA:
Ascendant Scorpio rises in Anuradha-2, at the start of the Solar New Year. The U.S. is a country of 50 States with GDP growth rate of 5.9% with present GDP of 23.32 lakh crores US Dollars. The American economy is fueled by high productivity, a well-developed transportation infrastructure, and extensive natural resources. Americans have the highest average household and employee incomes. In the Krodhi New, Year US Government is likely to concentrate in Transparency & Accountability in public dealings, Arms Control and Non-proliferation, Climate Crisis, Combating Drugs and Crime, Countering Terrorism. Cyber Issues, Economic Prosperity and Trade Policy. Planetary position is very much favourable to US government in this regard.

China:
Sagittarius lagna rises in Purvashada-3, in Beijing, at the stroke of Solar New Year. China has strict Capital controls, which makes it challenging for people to transfer wealth outside the country. Such controls are meant to enable the Central Bank to stabilize the value of the Currency, without having to resort to massive Currency market intervention. Still, Capital controls haven't stopped people from moving large amounts of money, out of China. Wealthy Chinese have moved hundreds of billions of Dollars out of China. They have purchased foreign apartments, Equities, and Insurance properties. They have become the principal buyers of expensive apartments in Tokyo. London and New York are also popular destinations.
This is probably because US Interest Rates have risen sharply, boosting the attractiveness of dollar-denominated bonds and other instruments. Secondly, the principal form of wealth in China is residential property, and property prices have declined. Moreover, there is uncertainty about the future direction of property prices, considering the troubled nature of the market. Thus, foreign property has become more popular. Also, Chinese are worried about the troubled relationship that China has with the West and its impact on China's future prosperity. Outflow of Capital and Investments from China to other countries are very much indicated in this year.

Japan:
Sagittarius lagna in Moola-2 rises at the start of this solar new year in Tokyo. The economy of Japan is highly developed and advanced. It is the fourth-largest in the world by nominal GDP and also the fourth-largest by purchasing power parity. Japan is also the world's second-largest automobile manufacturing country. The Japanese economy faces considerable challenges posed by an aging and declining population, which peaked at 128 million in 2010 and has fallen to 125.5 million as of 2022. Projections show the population will continue to fall, potentially to below 100 million by the middle of the 21st century. It is very much likely that Japanese Government takes steps to increase its population by announcing populist schemes to eligible couples.

Srilanka:
Scorpio lagna with Anuradha-4 is rising in Colombo. This is a peninsular country. In April 2022, the Sri Lankan government announced that it was defaulting, making it the first sovereign default in Sri Lankan history, since its independence in 1948 and the first State in the Asia-Pacific region to enter sovereign default in the 21st Century. This country ran short of fuel for essential services such as buses, trains and medical vehicles, because it did not have enough reserves of foreign currency to import any more. The fuel shortage caused Petrol and Diesel prices to rise dramatically. In June last year, the government banned the sale of Petrol and Diesel for non-essential vehicles for two weeks. Sales of fuel remain severely restricted. Schools had to close, and people were asked to work from home to help conserve supplies. Sri Lanka owes about $7bn (£5.7bn) to China and around $1bn to India. Last month, both these countries agreed to restructure their loans, giving Sri Lanka more time to repay them. Apart from this, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has agreed to lend Sri Lanka $3bn. That is on top of a $600m loan that the World Bank made last year. Sri Lanka's government says that it will raise funds to repay its debts by restructuring state-owned enterprises and privatising the national airline. Second lord Jupiter placed in the 6th indicates heavy expenditure from private and public sources resulting in deficit finance from Government and also from public in general. Government and Citizens generally suffer from debt trap.There is no indication for Sri Lanka getting relief from this Debt trap.
