Why did Lord Krishna visit Ayodhya on Sri Ramanavami? Why did the British Collector Rous Peter offer padukas to Goddess Meenakshi? How did Lord Krishna’s idol reach Udupi from Dwaraka? Who created Akasha Ganga atop Tirumala hills?

Total Solar Eclipse occurs on 9 March 2016 when Sun is conjunct with Moon in Aquarius aspected by Jupiter and Rahu in Leo. Both Moon and Sun will be on constellation of Poorvabhadra and Jupiter, Rahu in UttaraPhalguni constellation during this eclipse.

Solar Eclipses, especially in signs owned by Saturn, cause low blood pressures, anaemia, fatigue, disturbed relations in family, indigestion, nervous weakness. Also will lead to insomnia, disturbed mind for people born in ascendants and moon signs of Capricorn, Aquarius, Gemini, Cancer, Leo and Libra. 

If you are born with Moon in Punarvasu, Visakha or Poorvashada constellations, Aquarius Ascendant, Aquarius Moon Sign or going through Vimsotari Dasa or Bukti of Jupiter, then March 2016 is the month to be cautious in every aspect of life. 

Do not enter into new partnerships, relations, commitments. Try to maintain harmony in family and also at work.

With Sun and Moon along with Ketu already in Aquarius, Mercury and Venus will join during the solar eclipse time to create tough times for those born in that sign.

Except Saturn, all other planets are taking part in this havoc.

Only Virgo (Kanya) and Aries (Mesha) born will be able to survive this period without much trouble.

Mars Retrograde and Progression 2016

Mars becomes Retrograde On
April 17, 2016 (Sunday)
Mars becomes Progressive On

June 29, 2016 (Wednesday)

Before Mars becomes retrograde it enters into retrograde zone and starts slowing down. Before it becomes stationary and starts moving into backward direction, it keeps moving into forward direction with retarded speed. 
Mars remains into stationary motion for some moments before it starts moving backward.
The same is true while Mars becomes progressive i.e. when it starts moving into forward direction. Before Mars becomes progressive it remains into retrograde zone and starts moving into forward direction till it gains full speed.

The retrograde period is inappropriate for activities requiring the normal flow of Mars initiative. 
Mars retrograde probably isn’t the best time to begin a new exercise program, either. Again, the underlying meaning is that energy is lacking for external activity, so a program that begins under Mars retrograde may fizzle quickly. 
When Mars is retrograde, it depletes the vitality so that it is never a time to initiate. Whoever initiates loses, a new project, a great love, an argument, a lawsuit, or an international war. With a new project, it will fizzle out and never really go anywhere. With a hot romance, it too fizzles and it rarely gets to the alter. 
So it really is a very good time to find what it is you want with respect to Mars-related activity, even if waiting a bit.
Matters commenced while Mars is retrograde will be frustrated and plagued with disruptions until they finally fizzle out. At this time, people become irritated when activities do not run smoothly. 
Mars-ruled types find themselves more inclined to sit back and review matters in a more detached or impersonal way. They feel more patient to wait on circumstances to unfold before they take action.
