Saturn-Mars planetary war and forecasting summer trends in 2018

March 31, 2018 By Sachin Malhotra

On the coming 2nd of April a rare astronomical phenomena of the proximity of Saturn-Mars in the sky will be a treat to watch at night. The close conjunction of Saturn and Mars will be visible from the 1st of April to the 7th of April in the night sky when the disks of these two outer planets will appear to be very close to each other.

In astrology the close degree conjunction of any of the two planets, except luminaries ( Sun and Moon), is know as ‘Graha-Yuddha’ or Planetary war. In natal astrology the conjunction between any of the Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter or Saturn within one degree is very carefully watch in a horoscope. In Mundane astrology when the longitude and declination of any of the two planets comes very close then their disks appear to be touching each other in a view from earth. Such position of planets is called ‘Graha-Yuddha’ or Planetary war. The results of the planetary war have been explained in detail in the Brihat Samhita of Varahamihira in the ‘Graha-Yuddha’ Adhayaa. There are 5 conditions to judge the winner in this planetary war. These conditions include the appearance, brightness, color, longitude and declination etc. of the two concerned planets. As per some authorities Mars is always a winner in planetary war.

The planetary war happen between the five Tara Graha i.e. Mercury, Venus, Mars , Jupiter and Saturn. When any of these two are within one degree of longitude and declination then the ‘Graha-Yuddha’ happen. This is a rare astronomical phenomena as planets may come within one degree distance many times a year but the Graha-Yuddha happen only when their declination is also similar so that their disk started appearing very close to each other. This condition will be fulfilling in case of Saturn and Mars after many years. On the coming 2nd of April we can see these two planets very close to each other in the night sky. The astrological impact of it is going to be dreaded as mention in Brihat Samhita according to which the war between kinds , fire accidents and loss of armed forces may happen under such condition. Since this planetary war between these two malefic planets is going to happen in Sagittarius which is the sign of war and authority so its signification are going to affect a lot in a very dramatic manner.

Possibilities of an Earthquake in April 2018

 In mundane astrology this situation has been found to be giving extreme weather conditions and natural calamities. There is also a possibility of an earthquake in the first fortnight of April due to the planetary war between Saturn and Mars. The parts of Uttarakhand and Western U.P. signified by Sagittarius may get some tremors of an earthquake. Nepal may also get affect by an earthquake around that time. Apart from this a major earthquake may rock the south-america as the Saturn and Mars would be having at the southern declination in the month of April during their close conjunction. 

Now see the Full Moon horoscope of concern forth-night given below.

Saturn-Mars planetary war in 2018

You can notice the close conjunction of Saturn and Mars in Sagittarius in the Full Moon horoscope of the 31st of March. This conjunction of Saturn and Mars in fiery sign at the onset of summer season is a signal of above normal temperature at many places. Mars and Saturn are in the Navamsha of Leo which another fiery sign is showing the possibility of record breaking hot temperature from the first week of April. In India the states of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Chattishgarh etc. will receive excessive heat waves in the first fortnight of April. There will be fire accidents in the jungles at many places. The hilly areas of Uttarakhand signifies by Sagittarius will receive above normal temperature for the season which may surprise the meteorologist. Venus transiting from Aries in mutual aspect with Jupiter though gives some showers in the states of eastern and north-eastern direction. However, in southern peninsular (south Indian states) there will be less than normal pre-monsoon rain during this year. This phenomenon of above normal temperature will continue till the end of April.

Summer trends around the world

After the full Moon day of 16th of April the temperature will start increasing at higher levels around many countries of the world. It will be above normal on many days due to the placement of Sun and Venus in Aries sign and the Saturn-Mars conjunction in Sagittarius.

The weather will be dry and hot in the countries of Northern hemisphere like in USA and Europe. The temperature will be above normal for the season and there will be less rain in the summer due to the planetary war between the two hard malefic planets Saturn and Mars. The incidents of fire in the jungles of USA, Europe, Russia and India will be higher during the month of April especially in the first fortnight. The above normal temperature situation will continue for many days in the month of May and June.

Mars in Capricorn on pre-monsoon rain in southern-peninsular

Entry of Mars in Capricorn sign on the 2nd of May will bring some relief from heat for the south-Indian states. Mars in the watery sign Capricorn will bring much needed pre-monsoon rains in the southern peninsular. However, in north-western states like Punjab, Haryana, Uttarpradesh, Delhi and Rajasthan the month of May will be extremely hot due to the transit of Mars from Capricorn which as per the Koorma-Chakra signifies the North-West direction. Mercury joining Sun in Aries on the 10th of May will increase the effects of heat waves across north India. The north-eastern state will also face the problem of above normal temperature then.

Sun’s entry into Taurus and predictions about summer crops in 2018

At the time of Sun’s entry into Taurus there will be no benefic planet in Kendra from Sun which as per Varahamihira is not very promising for the crops of the season. There could be some disturbances in the sowing of seeds due to deficiency of pre-monsoon rain at many places. But since the Sun has benefic planets on the either side of it so the production of crops for the season will be normal. Venus in the 2nd house from Sun and the Mercury and Moon in the 12th from Sun are receiving the aspect of Jupiter are showing the developing of favorable conditions for the timely onset of south-west monsoon. After the Sun’s entry into Taurus there will be some improvement in the weather conditions in the southern states in particular. The pre-monsoon rain activity will start becoming normal and there will be some rains in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka etc.  This will reduce the effects of heat waves in the south and central India during the second fortnight of May. However, since the transit of Sun between the Venus and Mercury is a combination of interruption in the rain as per the classical text ‘Bhavishya-Phala-Bhaskara’. So there will be uneven distribution of pre-monsoon rains in the southern states which may affect the sowing of crops by farmers. In the northern states there will be less than normal pre-monsoon rainfall activity in the month of May and June.

The horoscope of Sun’s entry into Taurus also shows decent production of Kharif crops which are produced during the season from April to October. The production of rice (signified by Moon) and cotton (signified by Venus) will be good in the Kharif season of 2018.

High profile court cases and danger of an earthquake

August 29, 2017 By Sachin Malhotra

The conjunction, mutual aspect and square position of Saturn-Mars has to be studied very carefully particularly when it influence an eclipse point. The solar eclipse of the 21st of August was occur  in sign Leo (Simha) in the Magha Nakshatra. As per a classical principal of Mundane Astrology (Medini Jyotish) when the transiting Mars aspect or conjoined with the point of eclipse i.e. the Nakshatra of eclipse then some very enigmatic events like fire accident, earthquake, war, flood, drought, political violence etc. take place. The possible events and the directions of its occurrence can be find out to some extend by the study of the sign of the eclipse and the Nakshatra in various Chakras (astrological diagrams) like ‘Koorma Chakra’. The sign of eclipse has to be studied in the various foundation charts of the countries to make astrological predictions about possible events happening in near future.

Horoscope of Total Solar Eclipse of 21/22 August 2017.

horoscope of total solar eclipse of 21 August 2017

Now the transiting Mars has just entered into the sign Leo on the 27th of August influencing the eclipse point. Leo is the 4th house in the foundation chart of India. The Saturn transiting in Scorpio is already giving its 10th aspect to Leo. The 4th house is the house of home affairs, parliament, public movements, agriculture, law and order situation, public transport etc. The entry of Mars in the 4th house of the foundation chart of India may trigger some volatile events considering the current Vimshottari dasha of Moon-Rahu in operation and the high profile judicial judgement in the last few days.

Why so many high profile court  judgement’s in August 2017  ?

The second fortnight of August 2017 was historical from the perspective of Indian judiciary. On the 22nd of August the 5 judges bench of the Supreme court gave a verdict in the Triple Talaq case making it illegal. The apex court abolished the custom of instant Triple Talaq prevalent in Indian Muslim society. Later on the 24th of August the 9 judges bench of Supreme court gave a set back to the Indian government by giving a judgement making the ‘right to privacy’ a fundamental right of the citizen of India. On the very next day a CBI court send Gurmeet Ram Rahim, a controversial religious leader, to custody after finding him guilty in a rape case. It was a very bold decision of the CBI court considering the fact that Gurmeet Ram Rahim had the following of millions of people across the country and having a wealth of thousands of millions at his hundreds of  Ashrams ( center of worship). Almost all the political parties of Haryana, where the Gurmeet Ram Rahim has his headquarter,  and Punjab were in his favor. Gurmeet Ram Rahim had issued his support to the Congress, BJP  and Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) in various assembly elections since last 15 years. He was particularly the darling of BJP leaders whom he supported in the general and Haryana assembly elections in 2014. It was no surprise that Khattar Government in Haryana did his level best to patronize him until he was found guilty on the 24th of August. Later on the 28th of August the CBI court send Gurmeet Ram Rahim to jail for 20 years.

The supporters of Gurmeet Ram Rahim was allowed to ransacked the city of Panchkula on the afternoon of 24th of August. As many as 38 people were died and hundreds were injured in massive violence. As per the statement of Punjab Haryana High Court ‘ it was the political surrender of government to lure the vote bank’. The High Court went the extent of taking on the Prime Minister Modi by saying that “PM is of the nation,  not of the BJP”.

 

Foundation Horoscope of India

astrological predictions of India-China war

Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Saturn 18 year 0 months 25 days

In the foundation horoscope of India the transiting Saturn, Jupiter and Mars all had activated the 9th house of judiciary, religion and social justice. In the month of August the transiting Saturn from Scorpio was giving its 3rd aspect to the Capricorn. The transiting Jupiter from Virgo was giving its 5th aspect to the sign Capricorn. And the transiting Mars from Cancer was influencing the Capricorn, the 9th house of India’s foundation horoscope, from its 7th aspect. It was no surprise that the India judiciary became a hero in the eyes of general public by delivering such great verdicts.

Earlier in year 2015 the surprise  acquittal of late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J.Jayalalitha from the disproportionate assets case and the Salman Khan acquittal from the ‘hit-and-run case’ was widely criticized by the general public. The decisions of High Courts on these two matters were become a matter of joke  on the social media which was disheartening to see. Now with these historic judgements, specially in the case of  right to privacy, the Indian Judiciary has got a hero like image.

Now in the next few months we can expect public interest litigation’s to be filed in the apex court to stop the ‘polygamy in Muslim personal law’ and the practice of  ‘Nikah Halala’. The transiting Saturn moving into Sagittarius will give its 7th aspect to the natal 7th lord Mars of the foundation chart of India. The Jupiter moving into Libra in September will aspect the natal 7th lord Mars of the Indian Independence horoscope from its 9th aspect. The BJP and RSS will try to create a momentum in favor of ‘uniform civil code’. The 7th house in mundane astrology also deals with ‘laws related with marriage’. So the recent judgement on making Triple Talaq invalid is just a beginning of judicial reforms in marital laws in India. There will be many more such judgement in the next 2.5 years during the movement of Saturn from Sagittarius and Jupiter transit from Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius respectively. We can now expect very important changes in the Hindu Marriage Act which was passed by the parliament in 1955 as part of Hindu code bills. It is the dasha of Moon-Rahu till October 2018 in the foundation chart of India later it will be Moon-Jupiter. Both anter dasha lords are related with 7th house in the foundation horoscope of India. Rahu is in the ascendant covering the 1/7 axis and the Jupiter is giving aspect to the Mars the natal 7th house of Indian Independence horoscope.

 

Danger of an earthquake in the first fortnight of September 2017

With the entry of Mars in the sign Leo the solar eclipse point of 21st of August has now been activated. The Mars generally gives its result during its transit in the first Dreshkkan of a Rashi. So in the next 15 days we can expect strong earthquakes at two sites. One around the northern states of India ruled the the sign Scorpio where the transiting Saturn at present will come under the 4th aspect of Mars. And the other earthquake could be in the south-east-Asia as the Magha Nakshatra suggest as per the Koorma Chakra.

The Scorpio sign signifies the area around Delhi-NCR which can get strong tremors in the next 15 days from the 28th of August. The affliction to the Scorpio sign also shows the possibility of tremors near Pakistan-Afgan border.

The Magha Nakshatra, where the solar eclipse of 21st of August has took place, signifies the south-east direction as per the Koorma Chakra. The south-east Asian countries like Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar etc. can get strong earthquakes.

The solar eclipse of 21st of August was throughout visible across the entire geography of USA which is now affected by the tropical storm Harvey.  Now in the next few days the USA might find itself involve in an ugly war in Korean Peninsular is what transiting Mars from Leo suggest. The Leo is the rashi of ascendant of the foundation horoscope of USA and its president Donald Trump.

 

 

Transit of Mars and danger of an earthquake in May-June 2017

April 9, 2017 By Sachin Malhotra

The transit of major planets Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Rahu are specifically studied for the purpose of timing of an occurrence of an earthquake. An astrologer practicing the mundane astrology can only forecast about the timing of the tremors to some extent but its exact location and intensity are almost impossible to predict. As per the sage Garga the earthquakes usually comes around full Moon, new Moon and/or eclipses. The major earthquake are expected when any two of the Saturn, Jupiter or Mars are retrograde and are in square of each other at close degrees. Apart from these the transit of Mars and Saturn from some sensitive Nakshatra and Rashi’s are carefully studied for the purpose of predicting the timing of an earthquake.

Major planets transiting from the fixed signs bring earthquakes at many places around the world during a short span of time. This situation is going to happen from the last week of April this year when Mars would be afflicting the sensitive Rohini Nakshatra in Taurus sign. Mars will be giving aspect to Saturn from Taurus and then again from Gemini while Jupiter would be retrograde in Virgo an earthy rashi. This combination will bring strong earthquakes across the globe during the months of May and June in 2017.

As per Koorma Chakra the Rohini Nakshatra signifies the region around Punjab, Parts of Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana, Western UP, Uttarakhanda, Madhya Pradesh etc. These regions might get affected with an earthquake during the last week of April or the first fortnight of May. Apart from this the Iran and Turkey signified by Taurus and Virgo signs may also get tremors during the above mention period.

Saturn, Mars and Jupiter in square in dual signs 

Later in the first fortnight of June 2017 the Mars would be in Gemini Rashi in mutual aspect with retrograde Saturn in Sagittarius. These hard malefic planets will be in square with Jupiter in Virgo rashi. This is a combination of destruction from earthquakes and war around the world.

Transit of Sun and forecasting summer season trends for 2017

February 21, 2017 By Sachin Malhotra

Transit of Sun hold a special importance in forecasting seasonal trends as per the astro-meteorological texts. Sun’s entry into Aries around 14th of April brings heat waves across the central, western and northern parts of the country. The position of other planets with respect to Sun set the tone of seasonal trends. The transit of Mars have special significance in this matter as when it comes in square with major planets Jupiter, Saturn and Rahu then it create weather disturbances and may also bring an earthquake. Now let’s see some of the astrological combination given in the classical text Bhavishya Phala Bhaskara in accordance with Sun’s position with respect to other planets and their effects on weather.

. When Mars is transiting ahead of Sun then it gives less rain and extreme heat.

. Venus ahead of Sun gives good rainfall.

. Jupiter transiting ahead of Sun gives dryness and fire in the woods (jungles). The conjunction of Mars and Jupiter in transit also give rise to wild fires.

. Mercury ahead of Sun gives strong wind particularly in the coastal areas.

. Mercury transiting behind the Sun and ahead of Mars gives good rainfall.

. Jupiter transiting behind the Sun gives good rainfall.

During this summer season in 2017 the Mars will be transiting ahead of Sun till the end of June. Later in July the Sun and Mars will be in conjunction which is also a combination of dryness.

Mars in Aries and an early onset of summer season in 2017

This year the transit of Mars from the fiery sign Aries in the month of March may onset an early summer season on most part of the country including the north-west region. Later the Mars transiting from Rohini Nakshatra in square of Rahu and Ketu may bring an earthquake in the last week of April or early May. Mars will then move into Gemini sign on the 26th of May from where it will be square with Jupiter in Virgo and Saturn in Sagittarius. This planetary configuration in the month of June indicates record breaking temperature and some delay in the onset of south-west monsoon rains in the central and northern parts of country. The pre-monsoon rains in the last week of May will also be less than normal for the season.  Let us analysis this situation with the help of lunar charts given below.

Mars in Ardra Nakshatra and Scarcity of Water in 2017

The Ardra Nakshatra holds a special importance in the astro-meteorological texts. As per Bhavishya Phala Bhaskara the   Ardra Nakshatra is a watery asterism and if the malefic planets like Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu afflict it during the summer season then it will bring scarcity of water and extreme heat conditions. This year Mars will be transiting from Ardra Nakshatra from 5 June to 27 June. Mars will be in square with Jupiter during this period which is a combination of obstructing the rainfall. In the month of June the south-west monsoon generally bring good rainfall in the southern and central parts of India. However, this year the month of June is likely to be very hot.
