Celebrations as Jupiter moves into Aquarius on 19 December -


December is a very busy month for planets. The main joyous event is the end of debilitation of Jupiter in Capricorn on 19 December when Jupiter moves into Aquarius. Good news for Sagittarius and Pisces. The day Jupiter moves into a new sign is usually celebrated as all the millions of Vedic Deities come down to earth to purify the waters of one of the 12 twelve sacred rivers of India. This is connected to the myth of Pushkara who had the ability to purify the waters. Brihaspati ( Jupiter) wanted him to stay down on earth so that the purity of Water should remain always. But Pushkara refused as he had a boon to live with Brahma. Brahma decided to come down on earth to be with Pushkara and this happens whenever Jupiter changes signs making that period a very special day. The transit of Jupiter in Aquarius is one long festival as Kumbha Mela is celebrated at the banks of four Major rivers in India. This year the center of the Kumbha celebrations will be the holy city of Haridwar and the banks of the sacred Ganges.

HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE,
