The Sun entered Gemini on June 14th, and will continue there through July 16th, the Vedic Summer Solstice. Take advantage of this month to take lots of action towards your goals and interests.
Gemini is a sign ruled by Mercury, and it is called Mithuna in Sanskrit. It is a sign that encompasses a great range of energies. It is symbolized by an embracing couple, with the man holding a club and the woman holding a musical instrument called a lute. This shows that Gemini’s energies are wide enough to encompass physical and brute force as well as the beautiful, refined and artistic.
Gemini has a lot to do with communication and the thinking mind. You may want to do some research, reading, or study. It will be a good time to focus on communications, marketing, doing business, money, being quick and developing strategies. Take some measured risks where you plan it out and are practical. Taking risks helps you move forward in your life.
Mercury enters Gemini today, June 18th. He will be very strong in his own sign, so this will be a good chance to develop your mercurial skills. Learn something new in technology, business know-how, astrology, public speaking, writing.
Mars is also transiting Gemini. This can make your mind and relationships with siblings/friends more active, quick, and fiery. Be careful not to argue.

Important Upcoming Events This Week: Check the Pillai Center and the AstroVed Event Calendars for other upcoming events. Depending on where you live, the day of the week will be different. Check the Panchang with your location to see when you should be observing the rituals.
AstroVed and Pillai Center offer “fire labs” on a regular basis. What are fire labs? Fire Lab, a term coined by Dr. Pillai, is based on the ritualistic practice of using fire, which is found in many cultures all over the world. Not limited to any one religion, it is a universal, multidimensional technology to communicate with non-physical intelligences. These are the Angels, Gods, and Goddess (Archetypes) that the prophets, messiahs, and seers of all religions were in contact with. The Archetypes were the supernatural source behind their healing miracles, their other-worldly intuition, and their power over the material world. The Fire Lab was, and still is considered to be the most powerful way to connect with these celestial beings, as fire is the bridge between physical and non-physical realities.

13th Moon – Pradosham
The 13th Moon phase is called Pradosham, a karma-removing time. It has the special quality of dissolving negative debt karma. Karma is not just a metaphysical philosophy. It is real, and it wants to manifest into your life for better or worse. The planets trigger your karmic seeds that already exist. Clearing karma while it is in seed form is not difficult, but it requires being alert and focused. A lot of bad karma can be avoided just by staying conscious, but once a strong karma has taken root, then you need professional help. The 13th Moon (Pradosham) has the mystical powers to dissolve your karma. Participate in the karma-removal Pradosham rituals on on June 21, 2017 (IST). Learn more.
Thursday, June 22th @6:08 AM EST
