Tomorrow (Thursday, January 26) before sunrise, Moon will be visible with Mercury about 5 degrees above it in the eastern sky. At the same time, Jupiter will be overhead about 15 degrees east of directly over head. Saturn will be between Jupiter and Mercury about 19 degrees above Mercury and about 60 degrees away from Jupiter. Best time to view is around 6:30 a.m.
Then, in the evening after sunset, Venus and Mars will be visible in the western sky with Mars about 5 degrees above Venus.
Also, the long awaited transit of Saturn out of Scorpio occurs around 9:00 a.m., a couple hours after sunrise. However, Saturn’s influence is said to be sort of like a grease ball, so the influence will somewhat remain for a couple weeks longer.
February 10, there will be an eclipse which is considered a bad influence but, after that time, say in March, things should get much better. Of course, exactly how all this effects the individual is a function of their own chart.

It is commonly believed that knowledge is the result of observations of the outer world. It is the foundation of the scientific method. However, if we just give it a little thought, we realize that the observations are not the knowledge. It is how we put those observations together within our own minds that is the source of knowledge. Knowledge then is an inner experience, not an outer observation. What we observe matters little if we do not find understanding of those observations within ourselves. Knowledge comes from within.
The methodology of evolving our ability to become a person of greater knowledge is not usually known. It is the cultivation of inner awareness. The most powerful tool to accomplish this is proper meditation. There are various forms of meditation, but very few cultivate evolution. Rather, most control or condition the mind and/or heart to function in a particular manner. A meditation that cultivates evolution allows and facilitates a natural blossoming of awareness.
The potential of such cultivation goes far beyond the imagination of most. All knowledge is contained within. It is merely a matter of cultivating ones ability to tap more and more fully into that level of evolution.

Discernment is the integration of one’s mind with the heart of one’s being… the soul of one’s existence… the essence of one’s life. It is found within your self… within the heart of your being, your essence. The essence of one’s life is the underlying common denominator to all of life, to everyone and everything in existence. To sense it is called common sense… sensing that which underlies and is our common denominator. The refinement of common sense is called wisdom. The path of wisdom is the path of discernment is the inner path… the ultimate journey.

This article is an interesting perspective from Joni Patry, a Vedic Astrologer. It begins:
“Since the shock of the recent elections I have been studying the chart of Donald Trump to better understand where we are going as a nation.
“So many are disappointed and in shock by the results of the recent elections. My message is to bring healing and hope to the those who are worried about the fate of the US with Donald Trump as President. My sincere plea is that the anger and resentment be dissolved as to avert a possible terrorist attack by letting go of the anger running rampant over the elections”…

Today at Mount Soma, we were blessed by the visit of Mahapatra, a very beautiful man. He was with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for many years. After meeting at the temple with Panditji, who knew Mahapatra in India, we went to the Meditation Hall to address the group. Mahapatra spoke beautifully about his life and experiences with Maharishi. It was an exquisite meeting of old family members all united under the blessing of Maharishi.
Everyone present was deeply moved and profoundly blessed. Our shared vision to bring peace to the world shines forth. I invite all those who were present to add their comments.
Jai Guru Dev
