Mars normally stays in a sign for about 45 days but after every 2 years when it gets retrograde then it spends about 5 months in a Rasi. Like other two major planets (Saturn and Jupiter) Mars comes into retrograde motions when it is in the 5th– 6th or 8th-9th sign from the Sun. It has been observed that at the time of Mars retrograde motion if it is in Kendra (square) or Trikona (trine) from Saturn or Rahu and/or Ketu then that year is marked with violent disturbances.
As per Chitra Paksha Ayanamsa this year Mars will move into Taurus sign on the 10th of August and then it will move into Gemini on the 16th of October as before getting retrograde it will be in ‘Manda’ or slow motion (direct but much slow then its mean motion). Mars will become retrograde on the 30th of October and on the 13th of November it will move back into Taurus sign in retrograde motion. Mars will become direct only on the 12th of January 2023 and then again it will enter into Gemini sign on the 12th of March 2023. So for about a period of 5 months Mars will stay in Taurus sign which is the ascendant of the foundation horoscope of India.

An important point to note here is that Saturn will be in Capricorn during 12th of July 2022 to 17th of January 2023 because of its retrograde and then direction motion. So in the last few months of 2022 a retrograde Mars in Taurus will be in Trikona (trine) from Saturn in Capricorn sign. Saturn will be in Dhanishta Nakshatra during this period which as per Brihat Samhita Chapter number 10, ‘Shani Chaar Adhyay’ Sloka 16 gives trouble to ‘Dhana-Adhikari’ i.e. super rich people in the country. Such transit of Saturn from Dhanishta Nakshatra and Mars retrograde motion can give sudden crash of stock markets around the world which will bring a major decline in the wealth of billionaires who had gained appreciations in their fortunes during COVID pandemic period.
Ashimusala Motion of Mars
As per the ‘Bhomachaar Adhyay’, Chapter number 6 of Brihat Samhita of Varahmihira the retrograde motion of Mars are of five kinds known technically as 1. Ushna Mukha 2. Ashru Mukha 3. Vyala Mukha 4. Rudhira Mukha and 5. Asimusala Mukha. These five types of retrograde motion of Mars are calculated on the basis of distance between the Nakshatra in which Mars reappear after his conjunction with the Sun and the Nakshatra in which Mars gets into retrograde motion after its reappearance.

If Mars gets retrograde in the 17th of 18th Nakshatra of after its reappearance then it is called ‘Ashimusal Mukha’. Last year on the 29th of November (in 2021) Mars has reappeared in Visaka Nakshatra. This year Mars is getting into retrograde motion on 30th of October 2022 in Mrigsira Nakshatra. When we count from Visaka the ‘Uday Nakshatra’ of Mars to the Mrigsira the ‘Vakri Nakshatra of Mars’ we get 17 which as per Brihat Samhita gives ‘Ashimusala Mukha’ motion of Mars. The results of ‘Ashimusala Mangal’ are “fear from bands of robbers, drought and war in the country”. Since Mars is staying for a longer period in Taurus, which is the rising sign of India’s foundation chart so the bad effects of this ‘Ashimusala Mars’ transit will be very signification for us.

This yoga indicates some major economic policy changes and also the discovery of underground wealth like new oil, gas or minerals reserves in the country. But then the 8th house is also the house of mass deaths, scandals and national mourning.

Moon as the 2nd lord is in the 6th house is taking some ‘Maraka’ propensities. The Bhukti lord Saturn is taking the lordship of 8th and 9th house indicating death of leaders and some religious matters. Saturn is in its enemy sign Leo in conjunction with functional malefic Mars, natural malefic Rahu and ‘Maraka’ Jupiter. The Bhukti of Saturn in the horoscope of BJP has the promise for the death of her very prominent leaders holding office of power. In Navamsa Saturn goes into the 8th house again reconfirming the fearsome things it shows in the Rasi chart.
Chart 6. Total Lunar Eclipse: November 8, 2022 at 16h. 32m. at Delhi (28 N 40, 77 E 13).
Now see the planetary position in the horoscope of Total Lunar Eclipse (chart 6) on 8th of November 2022 which is visible partially in India. At the time of lunar eclipse the Aries sign, which is the 12th house of the foundation chart of India, is rising. In the horoscope lagna and 8th lord Mars is retrograde in Gemini and it aspect the 10th house and its lord Saturn.

Now study the oath taking chart of Narendra Modi Government 2.0 (chart 7) for a last reconfirmation. In the oath taking chart the lagan and 6th lord Mars is in the 8th house in Gemini along with malefic Rahu. These two natural malefic planets are in mutual aspect with retrograde Saturn in the 2nd house. In Navamsa Saturn and Mars both aspect the 7th house where Sun and Rahu are placed. The party had to suffer from the great loss of her two prominent leaders Sushma Swaraj (died 6th August 2019) and Arun Jaitely (died 24th August 2019) just a few days after the swearing-in of Prime Minister Modi. Now when the transiting Mars will be hovering over the Gemini and Taurus sign, which are the 8th and 7th houses respectively of the oath taking chart of Modi Government 2.0, then also we can hear some bad news about the death of top most leaders in the government which will shock the entire nation. As per my humble understanding the long stay of Mars in Taurus from mid of August 2022 to mid of March 2023 will bring a national mourning and a major set-back for the central government.
