Transit Murti System — Swarnamurti (Gold), Rajatamurti (Silver), Tamramurti (Copper), Lohamurti (Iron): When to Propitiate

Transit Murti System

How the Question Arose

The day before, the teacher had given a Panchanga Shravanam at a New Year function — how the coming year looks for each rāśi. A student asks whether that was astrology or something else.

• It is astrology, but only 50–60% reliable. It is not like reading an individual horoscope.

"It's not fair to say that there are only 12 kinds or 27 kinds of people in this world. There are thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of totally different fortunes during this year."

• A general reading ignores the daśās and ignores each person's Tithi Pravesha chart. Only transits are left.
• Even the transits cannot all be covered in 20–25 minutes. The Sun, Mercury and Venus cross 12 signs in the year, Mars about 9, the Moon 12 signs 12 times.
• So he takes Jupiter and Saturn (each in two signs during the year) and Rahu and Ketu (in one sign all year), and picks the transits that stand out as good or bad for each rāśi.
• Then he checks the Murti of each, to see where a remedy will do the most.

How to Calculate

The teacher had covered Murtis earlier, with transits. The rule:

1. Take the moment the planet enters a new sign.
2. See where the Moon is at that moment.
3. Count from the sign of your natal Moon to the sign of that transit Moon.

The Four Murtis

A planet in golden form wants to be nice to you. The Murti is the planet's mood towards you for that whole transit.

How to Use

Good house, Lohamurti (Jupiter in the 11th as Lohamurti):

• An excellent transit; he should give financial gains. But he does not like you and is too lazy to give them.
• Propitiation helps here most.

"Jupiter is in the 11th house as a Lohamurti — he is capable of giving you good results, but he is not doing it. So if you do remedies for him, it will maximize the bang for your buck."

Good house, Swarnamurti (a malefic such as Saturn in the 6th as Swarnamurti):

• He is already giving his best results. No remedy is needed.

8th house, Swarnamurti or Rajatamurti:

• He may not trouble you that much. There is room to improve a bad transit.

8th house, Tamramurti:

• He has to give you worries, and he is not in a good mood either, so he gives more trouble.
• If you are going through troubles and want relief, this is the planet to propitiate.

What He Did in the Panchanga Shravanam

He named, for each rāśi, the planets whose bad results can be minimised and the planets whose good results are being held back, and gave the remedy — a devatā or the planet himself.
