Planets and Forecasting trends for the south-west monsoon in 2020

May 16, 2020 By Sachin Malhotra

Indian meteorological department was forecasting a warmer than the normal summer season for India in 2020. But it turned out to be all different as the months of April and May are giving very moderate summer with above normal rainfall for the season. I had forecast a moderate summers season with above normal pre-monsoon rains in my last blog post on April 4 with title ” Forecasting Trends of the Summer Season in 2020″

Now see these news reports in the month of February in which IMD forecast for warmer than the normal summer season in 2020.

March-May period likely to be hotter than the normal- IMD

At the time when Indian Meteorological department was forecasting a scorching summer with deadly heatwave it was astrology which made the correct forecast of a moderate summer with good pre-monsoon showers.

Unusually cool and wet April takes weather office by surprise

The above link is of a Hindustan Times report published on 1 May 2020 which says that Indian weather office was caught by surprise by the unusually cool and wet weather in April. As per the IMD’s rainfall data, between 1 March and April 26, 13 Indian states recorded large excess of rains by 60% above normal. Now the question comes why IMD fails to forecast this but astrology again get better of them ?

Indian Meteorological Department is not taking into consideration the factor of ‘cooling down of the sun’ i.e. solar minimum. I have been writing about it on my blog since last one year. Using this ancient principal given in Brihat Samhita i had correctly foretasted the excess rains during the south-west monsoon 2019 and then unusually cold and rainy winters in 2019-2020.

Sun is in sleep – Solar Minimum

Solar minimum is a period when Sun records very few activity of ‘sun spots’. In 2019 it was only in July and December when there were few sun-spots. Now since last 100 days there is no activity on the sun as per the web site of NASA. There is a 11 years cycle of Sun Spots which is usually studied by the scientists then there is a cycle of 100 years, 400 years and also 2500 years which usually scientists do not study but astrologers knew. The sun spots not only effect our weather and temperature but its cycle is also used in forecasting wars, earthquakes and famine etc.

Excess rains, flood and big Cyclones Predicted during 21 June to 31st of August in 2020

This year during the south-west monsoon season the transit of Saturn and Jupiter into Capricorn sign and Mars ingress from Pisces is indicating excess rainfall activity along with flood during 21st of June and 31st of August. In India the north and western part of the country will suffer from excess rainfall and flood after the solar eclipse of 21st of June this year. Long stay of Mars in Pisces, a watery sign, and the transit of Saturn from Capricorn which is also a watery sign along with the solar minimum has to give more than 100% of rains fall for long period average in the south-west monsoon season (June to September) in year 2020.

Apart from this the Vrishabha Samkranti Kundali of Sun indicate a very good monsoon crops or Kharif crops. The production of rice, soybean, millet (Bajra), sugarcane, corn, cotton, sesame, pluses etc. will be very good in the Kharif season (winter crops) in 2020.

Sun’s entry into Taurus

14 May 2020, 17:17 hours at Delhi

At the time of Sun’s entry into Taurus the conjunction of two benefic planets Venus and Mercury with it and the auspicious aspect of Jupiter on it is showing good production of monsoon or Kharif crops in year 2020. This yoga also indicate a timely entry of south-west monsoon. But since Mars aspect the Sun in the Vrishabha Samkranti chart so there will also be lots of damage to the crops in some parts, specially in north and western parts, due to heavy rains and pestilence in the Kharif season this year.

The

Full Moon horoscope

The usual date of south-west monsoon hitting the coastal areas of Kerala is 1 June but this year it may get little late as Full Moon is coming on the 6th of June. It has been observed that south-west monsoon rainfall start around New Moon or Full Moon in the first week of June depending upon other factors.

In the horoscope of Full Moon you can see that Mars is behind Sun which as per Bhavishya Phala Bhaskar is a good yoga for timely onset of rains. Jupiter is retrograde in watery sign Capricorn in the same Navamsha. The retrograde benefic planets are consider good for rain. Saturn, a natural malefic is also retrograde which may bring a just slight delay for monsoon clouds to reach in southern peninsula. But overall progress of the south-west monsoon will be decent in the first fortnight of the June.

By the mid of June south-west monsoon will cover Maharashtra, Karnataka, Odisha and Chhattisgarh. The cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, Bhubaneswar and Raipur will be lashed-out with good rainfall in the mid of June this year.

Ardra Pravesh horoscope 2020

21 June 2020, 23:28 hours at Delhi

In the Ardra Pravesh chart for year 2020 Moon is in dry sign Gemini but in Navamsha it has gone into a watery sign Capricorn along with Jupiter a watery planet.
Saturn, Jupiter and Mars the three major planets are in watery Rashi’s which is excellent for rainfall. Mars in Pisces is specially consider very auspicious for rain as per Bhavishya Phala Bhaskar which is the premier most classical text in astro-meteology. Mayur Chitram also consider Mars in watery sign Pisces very good for rainfall activity.
During the period from 15^th of June to the last week of August there will be excess rainfall activity due to Mars transit in watery sign Pisces. Jupiter, which is a major rain giving watery planet, will come into opposition with Mercury and then with Venus during the months of July and August respectively.
So this year rainfall activity could be 100% or even more for the long period average. South-West monsoon is likely to be excellent this year as per the Ardra Pravesh horoscope and also transit position of major planets.

Mars in Pisces will bring excessive flood

As per the Ardra Pravesh horoscope given above the transit of Mars from watery sign Pisces can bring devastating flood in many revers especially of southern and central India. Godavari , Krishna and Kaveri will bring havoc in many parts of southern India. During the month of July the state of Madhya Pradesh signifies by Cancer sign can get extremely heavy rainfall.

The state of Delhi, Haryana and Punjab will get timely onset of south-west monsoon this year. Monsoon clouds are likely to reach in Delhi around July 1^st of 2^nd night. Then it will bring very good rainfall in Punjab during the first week of July month.

New Moon Chart

20 July 2020, 23:02 at Delhi

In the horoscope of New Moon (Amavasaya) of 20th of July and Full Moon (Poornima) of 3rd of August there are lots of combinations present for excess rainfall. In the New Moon and Full Moon chart a watery sign Pisces is rising in the ascendant with Mars in it under the asepect of malefic Saturn which not only shows excess rains but it also shows loss of lives because of natural calamities. Notice here the aspects of Mars and Saturn are afflicting the 8th house of both the charts. Mars from its 8th aspect and Saturn from it 10th aspect is afflicting the 8th house of mass deaths. Then in the New Moon chart Sun is in Cancer with Moon a watery planet. In Full Moon chart Sun is in Cancer with Mercury which is also a watery planet.

During 20th of July to the mid of August in 2020 there will be lots of devastation and loss of lives due to excess rainfall. State of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh will get extremely heavy rainfall. In the eastern parts Odisha and Assam can get flood. Bihar and Jharkhand will also get very good rainfall activity during this period. There could be flood in the city of Mumbai during 20th of July to the mid of August this year. There will also be big cyclones and wind storms hitting south-west parts of India during this period.

Venus in Cancer will bring rain in first week of September

Venus moving into watery sign Cancer will bring more rains in the first week of September month. But then Sun will get hemmed between Mercury and Venus. Sun will be in Leo, Mercury in Virgo and Venus in Cancer which can bring obstruction in rain for some time during the second week of September. Later Sun moving into Virgo on the 17^th of September will bring more rain fall activities.

Full Moon horoscope

2 September 2020, 10:52 hours at Delhi

So astrologically the monsoon season in year 2020 is likely to bring very good rainfall activity which could be 100% for the long period average or even more than this. The vigorous and relentless rainfall activity will bring havoc in the months of July and August in many parts of the country because of flood.

Forecasting Trends of the Summer Season in 2020

April 4, 2020 By Sachin Malhotra

The winter season in year 2019-20 was very sever for India and the world. About which i had foretasted last year in blog post “Solar Minimum and Forecasting Trends for the winter season 2019-20” In that blog post i had discuss the concept of ‘Sun Spots’ and its effects as per the classical text of the 5th century AD Brihat Samhita. Due to the low Sun Spot or Solar Minimum cycle the winter season was rainy and extremely cold in Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere Australia had extremely devastating wild fire which killed millions of animals and other species. During winter season a solar eclipse had fallen on 26 of December 2019 with 5 planets in Sagittarius along with Ketu the Karaka of ‘Sookshma Jeeva’. Sun, Mercury, Moon, Jupiter, Venus and Ketu were together in Sagittarius sign at the time of that eclipse. That eclipse had fallen in the Moola Nakshtra of Ketu and immediately after it a viral disease (COVID-19) become a global Pandemic. Earlier Jupiter (Jeeva Shakti or Life force) was afflicted in Sagittarius with Ketu and Saturn.

Now during this summer season Saturn and Jupiter will remain in ‘Uttara Ashadha’ Nakshtra in Makar Rashi which as per the texts of astro-meteorology is a watery sign. So summer season will be moderate only in Indian subcontinent. In the month of April Mars, Saturn and Jupiter together in ‘Uttara-Ashadha’ Nakshtra can bring an earthquake of moderate nature in the North-West direction of India and also in Pakistan. The Indian sub continent will largely be safe from the corona virus epidemic and after 26th of April when Sun-Mercury will conjoin in Aries India will start getting relief from the corona outbreak. I had also discuss this in my article ” Planets and Fear Psychosis of Corona Virus” posted on 5th of March that this disease will not give much deaths in India as compare to Western countries. The hot and humid weather in the month of May will start giving much needed relief from corona outbreak in both India and Pakistan. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will also be safe.

But in USA and Europe corona outbreak will remain a concern until Ketu leave ‘Moola Nakshtra’ in the first week of September. Even after controlling corona virus in the mid of summer some cases may keep coming in these countries till the end of August which could become a concern. Since Saturn and Jupiter are going to get retrograde in Capricorn (Makar Rashi) in the mid of May so summer season in USA and Europe will be moderate only. In the southern hemisphere Australia, South Africa and South-America there will be cold and rainy winter season. The rainfall during winter in southern hemisphere countries will be above normal for the season.

Full Moon horoscope

8 April 2020, 08:05 hours at Delhi

In the summer season in India the April is the hottest month for southern and western states whereas in the northern states May is the hottest month. This year however April may not be as hot as compare to the last year for the southern and western states as the planetary position in Full Moon horoscope of 8^th of April given here indicates. Venus in the ascendant of Full Moon chart under the aspect of watery planet Jupiter indicate a moderate summer during fortnight starting from 8th of April.

Noticeable point here is that Mercury and Sun are in a watery Rashi Pisces. Saturn, Jupiter and Mars are in watery Rashi Capricorn. Apart from this in Navamsha chart Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn and Venus are in watery signs. These planetary dispositions will give normal temperature in the April month which is a good news especially for the people of South India.

Heat Wave will increase after 25th of April due to Sun-Mercury conjunction

It has been observed that Mercury brings considerable changes in temperature during summers when it join Sun in the fiery sign Aries and in winters when it get conjoined with Sun in Sagittarius it then bring cold waves. From the position of Mercury we can predict the exact dates for the starting of hot waves in summer and clod waves in winters as per astro-meteorology principals. After 25th of April when Mercury will join Sun we will start getting much needed relief from corona outbreak all over the world more so in Indian sub continent. In south , central and western parts of the country there will be very hot temperature though it will not be above normal for the season.

Full Moon Chart

7 May 2020, 16:15 hours at Delhi

In the Full Moon or Poornima Kundali of 7^th of May the Mars is in Aquarius an airy sign giving aspect to the lagna. Moon is in Libra in mutual aspect with Sun and Mercury. Moon is getting the aspect of a dry planet Saturn. This will bring hot and dry winds breaking records of many years in the southern and central parts of India. The states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana and Orissa will experience above normal temperature during the month of May this year. However, the pre-monsoon activity will give relief from heat to Kerala and Tamil Nadu. In the North India we will get heat waves on some days but due to conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Makar Rashi summer will not be highly severe.

Timely onset of south-west monsoon is indicated in year 2020

New Moon Chart

22 May 2020, 23:08 hours at Delhi

The New Moon horoscope of 22nd of May indicate a timely onset of south-west monsoon in the Sri Lanka and later in Kerala in southern parts of India.

The planetary position in the New Moon or Amavasaya Kundali of 22^nd of May is very interesting. The luminaries Sun and Moon are in Taurus along with two watery planets Venus and Mercury. These four planets get the aspects from Mars and Jupiter. It is an indication of very severe weather disturbances. There will be above normal pre-monsoon rains in the last week of May in southern states and also in south-east direction. The state of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh and Orissa may experience above normal pre-monsoon rains after 22^nd of May. There will be loss of lives and properties at some places due to thundershowers and wind storms. Mars is behind the Sun so south-west monsoon is likely to reach on its due date of 1^st June in Kerala. In the month of June Punjab and Himachal Pradesh will see above normal pre-monsoon rains as Saturn and Jupiter in Makar Rashi gives indication for it. Makar or Capricorn signify the North-West part of India and also the Punjab province of Pakistan.

So in the summer season the hot waves are likely to come bit late in most part of the country. In south India it is only after 25^th of April there will be severe hot temperature that will give trouble to the people. In North India the temperature in April will be moderate and in May it will be normal for the summer season. But in June there will be extreme heat wave conditions favorable for south-west monsoon rains in July month.

Oath Taking Horoscope of Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan

March 26, 2020 By Sachin Malhotra

After a dramatic political development in Madhya Pradesh Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan took the oath of chief minister for the fourth time. I personally consider Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan and Raman Singh to be the most successful chief ministers in the last two decades in India. These two leaders from the BJP brought Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh on the path of development though earlier these two states were among ‘BIMARU’ (Sick) states. Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan was first became chief minister of Madhya Pradesh in November 2005 and lost his position after three consecutive terms in December 2018 when his party BJP remain behind from Congress by a narrow margin of seats. Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan had done very clean politics throughout his career and he perhaps would have been feeling regret in the manner BJP has now come into power from the back door by using her infamous ‘Operation Kamal’. This is astrologically reflected in the oath taking horoscope of Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan where in Tula lagna (Libra ascendant) we have Mars and Saturn in the fourth house of throne of the ruler.

Oath Taking Horoscope of Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan

23 March 2020, 21:00 hours at Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal

77 E 24′ and 23 N 16′

Tithi: Krishna Amavasaya, Vaar: Monday, Nakshatra: Poorva Bhadrapada , Yoga: Shukla, Karana: Chatushpada

Ideally Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan would have liked to take oath of office after Chaitra Shukla Pratipada during ‘Nava Ratri’ but then due to corona virus health emergency he would have been forced by the BJP central leadership to take the office at the earliest. Amavasaya Tithi is not ideal for any auspicious work but it is consider good to wage a war. Immediately after taking his oath Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan said that his first priority would be to control corona virus in Madhya Pradesh at the earliest.

Libra Sign is consider good for Swearing in as it is ‘Shirsodaya Rashi’ i.e a sign which rises from the head. The Navamsha is a fixed sign Aquarius which is good. The lagna lord Venus aspect the lagna and Navamsha lord Saturn is in the lagna which is also good.
The Moon as the 10th lord is in 6th house of struggles but since it is in ‘Gaja Kesari Yoga’ as Jupiter is in Kendra from it so there is a strength in it. In Navamsha Moon is in Cancer sign which is also good. Moon is in ‘Shubha Karatari Yoga’ as two benefic planets are on the either side of it.
The 7th lord Mars is exalted and it is with 4th and 11th lord Saturn so his opposition Congress Party will always remain very hostile against him.
His party BJP has defected 24 Congress MLA’s who will have to fight elections after their resignations. BJP would require to win at least 9 seats to save his government after this by-elections to be held within six months. Shiv Raj Singh is likely to save his government this year but then after July 2022 when transiting Saturn will move into Aquarius and Ketu will reach in Aries over Venus then his government may fall.

Horoscope of Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan

5 March 1959, 11:54 hours at Sehore, Madhya Pradesh

I got the information about Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan from a senior astrologer in Gujarat who told me that his birth time is between 11:00 am to 12:00 noon (5 March 1959 at Sehore, Madhya Pradesh). It could be either Aries or Taurus lagna. I found Taurus lagna to be more appropriate considering a very good Raja Yoga of Venus and Mercury in the 11th house. He rose to prominence during Jupiter dasha (1998 to 2014) in the politics of Madhya Pradesh. But every since dasha of Saturn has started he has faced troubles. Saturn being in the 8th house from Janma lagna and 12th from the Moon has to keep him on his toes. But then 8th house is the house of conspiracy and from the 8th house Saturn aspect the 10th house of power.

In Gemini-Aries Chara Dasha (3 December 2018 to 3 September 2019) he lost power after BJP not being able to come back to power during assembly elections. See the Amatayakaraka Venus is in the 12th house from Aries. But now he has get back to the position of chief minister again during Gemini-Pisces dasha (September 2019 to June 2020). But he needs to be very careful during his fourth term as chief minister as transiting Saturn in Capricorn over his natal Moon and then Rahu going to transit over his ascendant in Taurus sign from September this year will bring lots of hurdles for him including some health issues in the next 2 years.

Hindu New Year Horoscope 2020: Astrological forecast for India

March 24, 2020 By Sachin Malhotra

As per the system of Hindu Astrology when Sun and Moon comes at same degrees in Pisces sign the horoscope cast for that moment gives indication about coming next one year. This year on the 24th of March Sun and Moon will be in Pisces at same longitudes at 14:58 hours as per Indian Standard Time. The Cancer lagna will be rising at that moment with Mars and Saturn in the 7th house showing a war like situation for India which it is facing because of a tough and unprecedented challenge of corona virus at present. On the 5th of March earlier i had written one post “Planets and Fear Psychosis of Corona Virus”

I had discuss then the horoscope of various countries including India in the context of current humanitarian crisis we are facing because of the outbreak of this pandemic.

Chart 1. Horoscope of Hindu New Year 2020 for India

In the Hindu New Year horoscope two hard malefic planets Mars and Saturn are in the 7th house which is a Maraka house. In Medini Jyotish malefic planets in the 7th house are bad for country’s diplomatic relations, economy, business and social harmony. On the eve of Hindu New Year India has entered into the phase of partial lock-down. In the Bhava Chalit of Hindu New Year Mars and Saturn moves into the sixth house to get conjoined with Jupiter and Ketu. This indicate that this fear psychosis situation will also return due to some other national emergency even after this corona virus danger goes pass. We should not forget that there will be back to back three major eclipses in the months of June-July out of which two are visible in India. I had written few write up on them for the January issue of Modern Astrology magazine and also for the Express Star Teller magazine. Out of the three two eclipses are visible in India during summer which are falling across the 2/8 axis of her Taurus lagna foundation horoscope.

Now coming back to the corona virus danger the Hindu New Year horoscope given above shows some ray of hope as benefic Venus is in the 10th house under the aspect of yoga karaka Mars and also 5th lord Jupiter which is excellent. The combine efforts of central and state government to restrict corona virus from spreading into communities will succeed. In the month of April the situation will start coming under control in India and after 26th of April when Mercury will join Sun in the Aries sign there will be lots of relief from corona virus epidemic in India. Later when Mars will move into Aquarius on the 5th of May situation will start becoming better.

Mercury is the King of New Year and Moon is Minister

The King of the year is the planet which rule the day of Chaitra Shukla Pratipada i.e. day lord of Pisces New Moon. Since Chaitra Shukla Pratipada falls on the Wednesday so the King of the Hindu New Year will be Mercury. The minister of the year is day lord when Sun enter into Aries. This year minister of the year is Moon as Sun is going to enter into Aries on the 13th of April on Monday. But a noticeable point here is that Minister of the year Moon is under the bad aspect of 7th and 8th lord Saturn which will create trouble for some very senior leader of the ruling government at center.

Two benefic planet taking the important portfolio of King and Minister is another positive indication that India will be able to stop corona from becoming a major epidemic here. As per my old research on the planetary combinations and epidemic in India the astrological indicators are giving a positive sign for India which will be able to prevent corona from becoming a large epidemic. After Jupiter’s joining Saturn in the Makar Rashi (Capricorn Sigh) on the 30th of March the lagna of the foundation chart of India will come under the benevolent aspect of the most auspicious among all the planets.

Chart 2. Foundation horoscope of India

India is under stressful Moon-Saturn dasha in Vimshottari. Saturn is in enemy sign Cancer but since it is the Yoga Karaka planet for Vrishabha lagna (Taurus ascendant) so India is likely to get protection by some divine grace. The transiting Jupiter, Saturn and Mars in the 9th house Capricorn also indicate the same. But then this is not a good indication for the economy about which i have been giving astrological forewarns since early 2019. Indian economy will further plunge into an economic recession and would be start coming out of it only after July 2021 very slowly when Jupiter will move into Aquarius. The Moon-Saturn Vimshottari dasha is also till June 2021 so afterwards the Moon-Mercury dasha will give some growth in the ‘real economy’ of India and also to the stock market. Mercury rules the 2nd (finance) and 5th (stock markets) houses of the foundation chart of India also suggest the same.

Saturn-Jupiter conjunction will bring rise of socialism worldwide including India during 2020-2021

However, on the positive side the vices of capitalism will start getting exposed and general public will start pressuring their government around the world to move its policies towards public welfare. People around the world will start criticizing their leaders for the lack of medical facilities to fight against corona virus pandemic. The same trends will also be visible in India as people here may force their leaders to stop projects like ‘Bullet Trains’ and instead diverts public funds for the development of basic medical facilities. Saturn-Jupiter conjunction will took place in the 9th house of the foundation chart of India which also shows that general public will become more religious and will also pay more attention towards old cultural traditions. There will be a boom in alternative medical treatment, pharmacy, Yoga, Ayurveda, organic farming sectors.

On the other hand the real-estate, hospitality, airlines, entertainment sector will continue to struggle even after corona virus getting disappear by the end of this year. Because of this government will have to increase more spending in the social sector to give boosts to the economy. In the horoscope of Hindu New Year (Chart 1) Sun and Moon are in the 9th house giving the similar indication.

In the Hindu New Year horoscope 9th lord Jupiter is in the 6th house giving aspect to the 10th house shows judiciary giving some major decisions in favor of the government this year. The 8th lord Saturn with 5th and 10th lord Mars is excellent yoga for new medical researches taking place. The 12th lord Mercury in the 8th house is also a good combination which could mean that India will succeed to develop some vaccine or medicine to cure corona virus. This medicine will be produce at war front which will bring major growth in the pharma sector of our country during next one year.

Sadhe-Sati of Jyotiraditya Scindia and Political Crisis in Madhya Pradesh

March 15, 2020 By Sachin Malhotra

In a surprise development in Madhya Pradesh Jyotiraditya Scindia left Congress Party, along with his supporting MLA’s, to join the BJP which has put Kamal Nath government in the state in a position from where their survival has become almost impossible. Jyotiraditya Scindia is a second generation senior Congress leader who’s leaving the party is a major loss for Gandhi family. Scindia is under his ‘Sadhe-Sati’ in the Makar (Capricorn) lagna chart with an enigmatic Saturn-Rahu dasha in Vimshottari. Though he has spent 18 long years in politics with vast experience as cabinet minister in the Manmohan Singh’s UPA government but his chart do not seem to be impressive enough for him to become a regional satrap. Mamata Banerjee, Sharad Pawar, Jagan Mohan Reddy etc. had also left the Congress party earlier and then formed their own religious parties which captured power in their respective states but the situation of Jyotiraditya Scindia is entirely different. We will study the horoscope of Jyotiraditya Scindia in more details but first we will see how this political disturbance become so volatile in Madhya Pradesh where just 15 month old Kamal Nath government is now counting its last breaths.

As per the news reports Madhya Pradesh governor Lal Ji Tondon has directed CM Kamal Nath to seek trust vote on the 16th of March.

It was in the December 2018 when Congress party has won the Madhya Pradesh State assembly elections after defeating incumbent BJP who was in power since last 15 years. Kamal Nath sworn in as the chief minister of the state on the 17th of December when Aries lagna was rising in the ascendant.

Oath Taking Horoscope of Chief Minister Kamal Nath

17 December 2018, 14:36 hours at Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh

Tithi: Shukla Dashmi, Vaar- Monday , Nakshtra- Revati, Yoga- Vatiyana, Karana- Taitila

On the 17th of December 2018 three chief ministers from Congress took oath on the same day in different rising signs (ascendant).

1. Ashok Ghelot 11:03 hours at Jaipur. (Aquarius lagna)

2. Kamal Nath at 14:36 hours at Bhopal. (Aries lagna)

3. Bhupesh Bhagal 18:32 hours at Raipur (Gemini lagna)

It was Mr. Kamal Nath who took oath in Chara Lagan Aries with 10th house in ‘Paap Kartari’ Yoga but the two of his other colleagues from Congress got fixed and common sign for swearing-in Muhurata. It it an interesting case study from Muhurata perspective. The Congress Party had won the assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan in December 2018 about which a correction prediction was made on this blog. It was only in Madhya Pradesh where there was fear of Congress loosing the power because of BJP’s infamous ‘Operation Kamal’ as in the 230 member legislative assembly Congress was surviving on very thin majority. Congress Party had 114 seats as compare to BJP’s 109 seats. So it was an obvious though in everyone’s mind the Modi-Shah’s BJP will try to lure some of the MLA’s of Congress party to resign so that Kamal Nath government comes into minority. This is what they call it ‘Operation Kama’ which was devised by their veteran leader BS Yeddyurappa in Karnataka in 2008. Later when Modi led BJP came into the help of affairs they used the same strategy to create defection Congress leader in many states.

Destiny of Kamal Nath to get a bad Muhurata for oath taking ?

Now see the oath taking horoscope of Kamal Nath given above. It was his destiny that he got a movable sign in the ascendant with Moon falling in the 12th house of losses. The two other chief ministers who took oath on the same day were Ashok Ghelot in Rajasthan and Bhupesh Bhagal in Chhattisgarh who both got the dual sign (Dwisavbhav lagna) as the rising sign of their swearing-in charts. As per the cardinal principal of Muhurata the rising sign should be either a fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Aquarius or Scorpio) or a common sign (Gemini, Virgo, Pisces or Sagittarius). If one need to take an oath in movable sign then chose Libra (Tula). Aries, Cancer and Capricorn are not preferred for swearing-in of ministers.

Then another important principal is that Moon and lagna lord should not be in ‘Dusthan’ (6th, 8th or 12th houses) in the oath taking chart. Also the 10th house should not have a malefic planet. The house which is related with the purpose of Muhurata should be free from malefic influences. If you are selecting the Muhurata for entry into a new house then you should not have malefic planets in the 4th house, which signifies house, in the Muhurata chart. If you are taking a Muhurata to start a new job then never chose a Muhurata which has malefic in the 10th house from the rising sign.

Here we have malefic Ketu in the 10th house in the oath taking chart of Kamal Nath in Rashi and in Navamsha Mars is placed in the 10th house. In Rashi (birth chart) the Ketu is in the 10th house is flanked by malefic planets on its either side. Mars is in the 11th house and Saturn-Sun are in the 9th house of Ketu make the ‘Paap-Kartari’ yoga. In Navamsha Mars is in the 10th house under the aspect of malefic Saturn.

Ashok Ghelot was lucky to get his oath taking when Aquarius lagna, a fixed sign, was rising with two benefic Mercury and Jupiter in the 10th house. Bhupesh Bhegal took the oath when Gemini lagna, a common sign, was rising with Moon in the 10th house under the aspect of 10th lord Jupiter there. So chief minister’s of Rajasthan (Ashok Ghelot) and Chhattisgarh (Bhupesh Bhagal) both got an auspicious Muhurata whereas Kamal Nath got trapped by his destiny which gave him a bad Muhurata to start his work as the chief minister of state. See how this reflect in the horoscope of chief minister Kamal Nath given below.

Horoscope of Kamal Nath

Kamal Nath was born on 18 November 1946 at Kapur Uttar Pradesh in the afternoon when Pisces lagna was rising and Moon was in Virgo sign. Interestingly Congress Party also have Pisces lagna chart with Moon in Virgo. It is no surprise the he had a long and very successful career in Congress Party has he never lost any Lok Sabha elections since 1980. Former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had launched Kamal Nath from Chhindwara Lok Sabha seat in Madhya Pradesh in year 1980. Smt. Indira Gandhi was then seeking the votes for Kamal Nath by addressing him as his third son such were the close bounding Gandhi family had with Kamal Nath who was later accommodated into cabinet of Congress governments at the center. During the maha dasha of Jupiter (1985 to 2001) and then in Saturn (2001 to 2020) Kamal Nath became cabinet minister on many occasions. He made Chhindwara as his strong basin from where Congress won elections even during the Modi wave in 2014 and 2019. See the strong 9th house of luck in both Rashi chart and Navamsha of Kamal Nath which explain his success.

Dasha Chiddra of Kamal Nath

During the Saturn-Jupiter-Ketu dasha in Vimshottari Kamal Nath become the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh in December 2018. He got the support of Digvijay Singh, the former two time chief minister of state, who backed him ahead of Jyotiraditya Scindia who was the choice of Rahul Gandhi for this post. This is where the tussle for power was started between Scindia group and Kamal Nath- Digvijay Singh camp in Madhya Pradesh Congress. We must notice this in the horoscope of Kamal Nath that he is under Dasha Chiddra of Saturn as Mercury maha dasha is about to come. Saturn-Jupiter period in Vimshottari is ending in May 2020 and Mercury, which is in Mrityu Bhagh degrees, maha dasha is about to start. Saturn though is in 5th house of minister’s post but is in its enemy sign Cancer. Jupiter is also in its enemy sign Libra. But since both were strong in Navamsha so he got the chance to become the chief minister ahead of his rivals in party. But then both Saturn and Jupiter are not involve in any great Raja Yoga and an eclipse had fallen on the 10th house of Kamal Nath on the 26th of December 2019. As transiting Mars triggered this eclipse point in February-March this year the revolt against him started within the Madhya Pradesh Congress lead by Jyotiraditya Scindia.

Horoscope of Jyotiraditya Scindia

1 January 1971, 09:40 hours at Mumbai

Jyotiraditya Scindia come from the erstwhile Maratha princely state of Gwalior. He is popular in Gwalior, Chambal and Guna district where people address him lovingly as ‘Maharaja Saheb’. In the Capricorn lagna chart there is a classical ‘Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga’ as a debliteated planet aspect the lagna and both lagna and Moon are strong. Saturn aspect the lagna from Aries its sign of deblitation and it is also in mutual aspect with Mars its sign lord. So lagna is strong as its lord is in mutual aspect with its sign lord. Moon in Aquarius though is in Kemadruma Yoga but the 10th house from Moon has two benefic planets Jupiter and Venus which give it strength. The depositor of Moon is Saturn which is involve in a good “Neecha-Bhanga” Yoga. In the Navamsha chart lagna lord Sun is with 5th lord Jupiter in good Raja Yoga. The 9th lord Mars is in mutual aspect with 7th lord Saturn in another decent yoga. In the maha dasha of Saturn, which started in January 2005, Scindia rose to high ranks in the Congress party.

Jyotriditya’s father Madhavrao Scindia was good friend of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi and was cabinet minister. Jyotriditya himself was very close to Rahul Gandhi which is the reason that everyone was caught be surprise when he took the decision to leave Congress Party. But then Jyotriditya’s grand mother Vijaya Raje Scindia was one of the founder member of the BJP. Jyotriditya’s aunt Vasundhara Raje Scindia is senior BJP leader and three time chief minister of Rajasthan. So Jyotriditya’s joining the BJP has now united the Scindia family for the BJP.

In the Makar lagna horoscope of Jyotriditya he is under dasha of Saturn-Rahu (September 2018 to July 2021) in Vimshottari. He suffered a humiliating loss in the Lok Sabha elections from Guna Lok Sabha seat in May 2019 during Saturn-Rahu-Jupiter. It could have been the trigger point when he would have thought that now he has not a very bright future in the Congress party. But then Jyotriditya Scindia is now under ‘Sadhe-Sati’ which in the second stage can bring major troubles for him. The Dasha Chiddra of Saturn-Jupiter (from July 2021 to January 2024) and transit of Saturn from Aquarius from July 2022 onward will start giving him disturbances. He is likely to face dissatisfaction in the BJP. He is likely to get a cabinet minister post this year in Saturn-Rahu-Venus (from June 2020 to December 2020) but when his Mercury maha dasha will start in January 2024 he will lose this post. Mercury is in the 12th house of losses which will give him more disappointment in 2024 Lok Sabha general elections.

Horoscope of Digvijay Singh

The two time Congress chief minister Digvijay Singh was born in Libra lagna with great Raja Yoga of lagna lord Venus in mutual aspect with 4th and 5th lord Saturn. Digvijay Singh comes from the royal family of Raghogarh in Madhya Pradesh. He was the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh from 1993 to 2003 during his Saturn maha dasha (1990 to 2009) in Vimshottari. It was during December 2003 when in Saturn-Mars dasha in Vimshottari when he lost position as BJP had then defeated Congress in Madhya Pradesh assembly elections. The transiting Saturn was in Taurus then over his natal Moon which is in the 8th house. He was so disappointed with this defeat that he denied Congress Party’s proposal to go to Rajya Sabha (upper house) and become Cabinet minister in the UPA government of Manmohan Singh (2004 to 2014).

Digvijay Singh’s wife Asha Singh died in year 2013 when he was passing by Mercury-Venus (December 2012 to October 2015) in Vimshottari. In April 2014 he admitted that he was in a relationship with a TV anchor Amrita Singh and the couple got married in August 2015. It is in year 2018 during Mercury-Mars he completed an incredible journey of 3300 KM of Narmada Parikrama in 192 days by foot along with his wife after taking the blessings of his Guru Shankaracharya Swami Swaroopanand Saraswati. He was blessed with success in Madhya Pradesh assembly elections as Congress won because of his great efforts to unit the party workers during assembly polls. The 9th lord Mercury with 7th lord Mars in the 5th house along with 11th lord Sun has to give him success during its dasha.

But now under Mercury-Rahu period in Vimshottari (January 2019 to August 2021) as Rahu first gave him a famous defeat during Lok Sabha elections in May 2019 by Pragya Singh Thakur in Bhopal and then this crisis in Madhya Pradesh after the resignation of Scindia and his supporters which is likely to bring the fall of Kamal Nath led Congress government in next few days. But even though the Kamal Nath government will fall the political career of Digvijay Singh is not over yet. He will got to Rajya Sabha (upper house) and continue his fight in coming Mercury-Jupiter dasha (August 2021 to November 2023). Then Mercury-Saturn dasha in Vimshottari (November 2023 to August 2026) again promise a rise in political career for him. The maha dasha of Ketu in the second house starting from August 2026 will prove to be a ‘Maraka’ period for him.

Astrology and Crisis in Career-Timing the big change in life

March 7, 2020 By Sachin Malhotra

India is facing an economic slowdown post demonetization (November 2016) and GST (July 2017) which were poorly implemented resulting in lots of job losses in both formal and informal sector of our economy. Globally Europe and China are suffering from slowdown for various reasons. The USA-China trade wars and Iran-Saudi Arabia military tensions can also bring a major recession is what economists are anticipating now. Astrologically the situation of economic slowdown may get worst with the entry of Jupiter into Sagittarius on the 5^th of November 2019 and later after the solar eclipse of 26^th of December in the same sign the problem will start getting worst. I had indicated about this in my article “ Global Economic Trends 2019” published in the January 2019 issue of this magazine at page number 50. It has been observed that the transit of Saturn from fiery sign Aries, Leo and Sagittarius bring slowdown in economy. If Saturn transiting from fiery sign comes into an opposition with Jupiter or in conjunction with it then the situation of global recession can occur like it had happen in case of 1929, 1982, 1991 and 2009 economic crisis. These major economic crisis had come around the opposition or conjunction of Saturn-Jupiter.

{Note: This article of mine was published in the January 2020 issue of Express Star Teller Magazine. The same has been reproduce here for the readers of my blog}

The conjunction or opposition of Saturn and Jupiter bring major changes in global economy and also big wars is a cardinal principal of mundane astrology discuss in the text like Bhavishya Phala Bhaskar and Mayur Chitram. The logical interpretation of this could be the ‘Karaka Tattwa’ or signification of these two major planets. Saturn signifies masses or people in general and Jupiter hold its signification over wisdom and wealth. The conjunction or opposition of Saturn and Jupiter bring collective changes in the thought process of people at large which bring major economic and political upheavals which are historic but painful in nature.

Now this great conjunction of Saturn-Jupiter taking place in Sagittarius and then in Capricorn sign is going to bring a major economic and food price crisis around the world in year 2020. This will happen because of wars disturbing countries like India, Pakistan, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel and USA at various fronts. The effect of it will remain for about 2 years and an economic revival is only possible when Jupiter moves into Pisces which is the sign of expansion. This will happen in 2022 only and until then there is a danger that millions of people around the world will lose their jobs and there will be bad effects on many businesses. However, the growth in renewable energy, new age technology, ecommerce and organic farming will be the brighter areas post 2020.

Now I will discuss some of my findings about astrological combination giving a sudden crisis in career which are applicable in natal horoscopes.

In the horoscope having conjunction of 10^th lord with 8^th house lord or 12^th house lord there is a danger of job loss during the dasha of ‘Dusthana’ lords (6^th, 8^th and 12^th lords).
The conjunction or opposition of 5^th lord and 8^th lord in a horoscope can also give a sudden job loss during an adverse dasha periods. The 5^th house is 8^th house from the 10^th house of career so it can also give a job loss or crisis in career.
The enigmatic dashas of Jupiter-Venus or Venus-Jupiter, Rahu-Venus or Venus-Rahu, Mercury-Ketu or Ketu-Mercury and Saturn-Rahu or Rahu-Saturn can bring a crisis in career if these dasha lords are in 6/8 or 2/12 position from each other.
A solar or lunar eclipse falling over the Janma lagna, natal Sun and/or natal Moon can bring crisis in career of a highly placed professional if he is undergoing a dasha of natural malefic planets or ‘Dusthana’ lords.
In case of Jamini Chara dasha the dasha of Atamakaraka can bring a sudden fall in career. The Amatayakaraka falling in the 6^th, 8^th or 12^th house from Rashi dasha can also give a big crisis in career.

Let’s discuss few cases to understand these principals discuss above.

Case 1. Male (An IT Professional Working in Singapore)

6 May 1975, 15:55 hours

Longitude: 77 E 13’ and Latitude: 28 N 40’

Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Jupiter 7 years 11 months 14 days

This Virgo lagna horoscope is of a highly placed IT professional who went to Singapore after July 2008 when he was running under Mercury-Sun dasha in Vimshottari in his horoscope. Since then he was working in the same company until this September when his employers informed him that their organization has become insolvent due to losses. The global economic slowdown is hitting the software industry very badly as we all know. He lost his job during his Ketu-Ketu dasha in Vimshottari (from 19 April 2019 to 16 September 2019). Ketu is well placed in the 9^th house of luck and is with 10^th lord Mercury but the aspect of 8^th lord Mars has spoil this yoga. In Navamsha Ketu falls in the 12^th house of losses. The next dasha is of Ketu-Venus which are in 2/12 axis but the good position of Venus in Rashi and Navamsha gives hopes of getting a job quickly.

In Chara dasha he was under Pisces-Pisces period from May 2019 to May 2020. The Atamakaraka Moon and Amatayakaraka Mars falling in the 12^th house from Pisces brought this loss of job for him.

Case 2. Male (Lost job in Dubai)

1 January 1984, 01:45 hours

Longitude: 82 E 03’ and Latitude: 27 N 35’

Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Mercury 14 years 8 months 6 days

This Tula lagna horoscope is of a young man who worked in abroad in various companies. He lost his job recently in July 2019 when he was under an enigmatic Venus-Saturn (July 2018 to September 2021) period in Vimshottari. He worked in the managerial position in Nairobi and Dubai. He wanted to permanently settle in Turkey but did not have any opportunity after he lost his job in July 2019 due to an economic crisis faced by his company. See the mutual position of Venus and Saturn in his Rashi chart. They are at 2/12 position in Rashi though in Navamsha they are in trine. But notice here Venus is the lord of 8^th house and Saturn is 5^th lord. The dashas of 5^th and 8^th houses lords can also give job losses which I have discuss above.

It was Venus-Saturn-Ketu when he lost his job when a lunar eclipse had fallen on his natal Sun in Sagittarius on the 16^th/ 17^th of July this year. The Chara dasha was of Aries which has Amatayakaraka Moon falling in the 8^th house from it.

Case 3. Male (Manager in Pharmaceutical company lost job)

15 June 1960, 14:30 hours

Longitude: 78 E 01’ and Latitude: 27 N 11’

Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Jupiter 15 years 0 months 0 days

This Vargottama Tula (Libra) lagna horoscope is of a person who worked in a multinational pharmaceutical company for 33 years and had lost his job recently due to his company facing business losses because of Indian government’s policy of promoting generic medicines. Modi government is selling cheap generic medicines through ‘Pradhan Mantri Jan Aushadhi Yojana’ stores which has helped millions of poor. It brought down the sale of branded medicines which resulted in losses for the company in which this native was working since 1986. In this Tula lagna horoscope the Saturn and Mercury in mutual aspect are making great Raja Yoga. His job went wonderfully well during the dashas of Saturn and Mercury. He rose to the position of regional manager from a medical representative when he joined in 1986.

His troubles started from Venus maha dasha which started in June 2018. Venus is the lagan and 8^th lord placed in the 8^th house. Venus is not involve in any Raja Yoga. In Navamsha it is debilitated in the 12^th house. Venus placed in the 8^th house in Rashi and in 12^th in Navamsha has to give him a job loss in the condition of current economic slowdown. The Chara dasha was of Gemini-Libra when he lost his job. The Atamakaraka is in the 12^th house from Gemini and it is in the 8^th house from Libra which is bad.

Case 4. Male (A teacher who lost his job)

25 July 1986, 16:23 hours

Longitude: 77 E 13’ and Latitude: 28 N 40’

Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Jupiter 2 years 4 months 29 days

This Scorpio lagna horoscope given here is of a science teacher who was working at a good post in a private collage providing coaching to the engineering aspirants. But after demonetization many of these private coaching institutes in India suffered losses and he has to lose his job. It was his Mercury-Mars dasha in Vimshottari (June 2016 to June 2017) when he lost his job in the mid of 2017. Later he joined another job on lesser salary and lost that one also in the mid of this year during his Mercury-Rahu dasha. See the lordship of Mercury it is 8^th and 11^th lord from the lagna. He has this conjunction of 8^th lord and 10^th lord in his horoscope. The 8^th lord Mercury and 10^th lord Sun are conjoined making him prone to losing jobs during tough dashas. Also see his Navamsha chart where Mercury is in the 6^th house of struggle and anter dasha lord Rahu get the bad aspect of 8^th lord Venus. He has to face a condition of crisis in career of teaching during his Mercury-Rahu dasha at times when coaching institutes in India are facing tough situation. In Chara dasha he is running under the period of Aquarius (July 2017 to July 2020) which has his Atamakaraka Jupiter. The Amatayakaraka Venus gives Jaimini aspect to the 12^th house from Venus.

Case 5. Male (A high ranking IT manager lost job)

23 November 1968, 14:30 hours

Longitude: 77 E 13’ and Latitude: 28 N 40’

Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Venus 8 years 10 months 26 days

This Pisces lagna horoscope is of a high ranking IT manager who worked abroad from 2006 to 2016 in his Rahu maha dasha. Notice here Rahu is with 11^th and 12^th lord Saturn getting the benefic aspects of 10^th and lagna lord Jupiter. Mars the 9^th lord also aspects Rahu which gave him an excellent career in IT field. Later he came back to India to work for his company and since early 2019 he is struggling. He has not got his salary since last 9 months and recently his company owner became insolvent and asked him to leave the job without paying his dues. It is his Jupiter-Jupiter (October 2018 to December 2020) dasha in Vimshottari now.

Jupiter is in its enemy sign Virgo is weak as it is involve with so many hard malefic planets Ketu, Mars and a retrograde Saturn which is not helpful. This native is also facing the enigmatic transit of Saturn over his Janma Nakshtra which is Poorva Ashadha in Dhanu Rashi. A lunar eclipse has fallen on his natal Moon in Sagittarius on the 16/17^Th of July this year which compounded his troubles. In his horoscope the 8^th lord Venus is in the 10^th house of career. In Navamsha Jupiter the dasha lord is in 6^th house and get the aspect of Venus which is the lord of 8^th house. So the involvement of ‘Dusthana’ lords and the bad transit has to give trouble in his career.

Planets and fear psychosis of Corona virus

March 5, 2020 By Sachin Malhotra

The solar eclipse of 26th of December 2019 had fallen in Sagittarius sign about which a lot has been discuss by astrologers in India and abroad. At the time of that eclipse Ketu was in conjunction with Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn. Ketu signifies bacteria and virus as in the classical of Hindi astrology it is mention as the Karaka for ‘Sooksham Jeeva’. Saturn is the Karaka for epidemic or mass deaths in mundane astrology. If in transit Saturn is in conjunction with Rahu-Ketu or it aspect them then there is a fear for some kind of epidemic or viral disease. In the foundation horoscope of a country if the transiting Saturn aspect the natal Rahu or Ketu then that country get more affect with this epidemic. But one thing we must remember that in the classical text like Brihat Samhita, Bhadra Bahu Samhita, Adhabut Sagar etc. there are no combinations for epidemics. These are only very recent findings that Ketu (Sookshma Jeev) and Jupiter (Jeeva or life force) has a role to play in the spread of viral diseases. I had written one article on the subject in year 2015 in Modern astrology magazine. Astrology has its limitations which we all must keep in mind. I had been warning about war like situation and food price crisis in 2020 since last one year on this blog in my various posts time repeatedly.

The planetary position in the Hindu New Year horoscope also needs to be check closely for making precise forecast. On the 7th of February 2020 i wrote a small article for the website of Hindu News Paper Navbharat Times in which i made this observation that transit of Mars in Sagittarius over the eclipse point will create a panic of corona virus in India also.

{Hindi] धनु राशि में आ रहे मंगल भारत और चीन को रहना होगा सावधान !

See the solar eclipse 26th of December 2019 horoscope to understand the concept more clearly.

Chart 1. Solar Eclipse 26 December 2019

At the time of this solar eclipse in Sagittarius the Sun and Moon were at 09 degrees and 58 minutes in Moola Nakshtra of Ketu. When transiting Mars reached close to these degrees it has to create trouble in the areas where this eclipse was visible. Since this solar eclipse was visible in mostly Asian countries like China, India, Iran, Afghanistan etc. so these areas got worst affect this this corona virus outbreak. More than 80000 people in China got affect from corona virus since its emergence in the city of Wuhan in the month of December last year. Worldwide it has now been spread into 60 countries with death tolls reaching more than 3000. The rate of death percentage is around 3.4% in case of corona virus which is higher than the seasonal flue which kill around only o.1% of the affected patients.

On the 7th of February when transiting Mars entered into Sagittarius the fear psychosis of corona virus spread into more countries. It is a cardinal principal of mundane astrology that a malefic planet transiting over the eclipse sign unleash the bad effects of that eclipse. It is after the 7th of February this disease started spreading into countries like Iran and Italy where the numbers of affected persons from corona are increasing with every passing day. The conjunction of Saturn, Jupiter and Mars in Capricorn sign from 23rd March to 5th of May is also dangerous. As per Bhavishya Phala Bhaskar the conjunction of Saturn, Jupiter and Mars is very inauspicious.

How serious is corona virus threat in India ?

As per my humble understanding corona virus may not give death in large number, like it had in China, in country like India. As per the planetary position in the foundation chart of India this viral disease is not likely to become a big epidemic in India. In year 2015 had publish a small article on the subject of ‘Transit of Saturn and spread of epidemic in modern India’ for the modern astrology magazine. In that article i had discuss about the planetary conditions under which epidemics like 1974 smallpox (death toll 15,000) , 1994 plague (death toll 694). out break of Dengue (death of 400 in Delhi-NCR), 2009 swine flue and 2015 swine flue ( deaths of 937 people) were discuss with respect to planetary position at that time.

Chart 2. Foundation Horoscope of India

In the foundation horoscope of India the lagna is in Rahu-Ketu axis which make this country very much pron to viral and bacterial diseases outbreak at regular interval. The 8th lord Jupiter is in the 6th house is also a yoga for spread of epidemic in the horoscope of India. However, since now the country is under Vimshottari dasha of Moon-Saturn so only a moderate fear of some epidemic exist. The sub period lord Saturn is a Yogakaraka for the Taurus lagna foundation chart of India which will keep her largely safe. However, since Saturn the natural karaka for an epidemic is in its enemy sign Cancer so some fear psychosis will keep troubling in case of corona virus for few days. As soon as the transiting Mars will enter into Aquarius sign on this 4th of May the country will get some relief from the outbreak of corona virus.

The transiting Mars at present is in Sagittarius which is the 8th house in the foundation chart of India. Mars is in Sagittarius with Ketu afflicting the 8th house of India in transit is giving her trouble from the fear of an epidemic. But when the Mars will leave Sagittarius sign then fear of this epidemic will start easing out. However, for countries like China, Iran, Italy, USA and Japan it will take much longer time as until Ketu is transiting in Sagittarius till September these nations will have to be very watchful from corona virus. I will now explain this issue under consideration with more details using the foundation charts of above mention countries.

Why corona virus and some similar viral diseases spread from China ?

Chart 3. Foundation Horoscope of China

In the foundation horoscope of China the 6th lord Mercury is in conjunction with 8th lord Sun which is a yoga for serious and long illness. Notice here Ketu is afflicting both Mercury and Sun which make this country very much susceptible for the outbreak of dangerous infectious disease by virus. Ketu as we have discuss in the beginning of this paper is the Karaka for virus and bacteria. Ketu is along with 6th lord (diseases) and 8th lord (epidemic and mass deaths) in the foundation horoscopes of China. The recent corona virus outbreak is much more widespread than 2002-2004 SARS epidemic which resulted in 774 deaths in China.

The maha dasha of Mercury started in the foundation horoscope of China in September 2019. This dasha will run for full 16 years during which this country will face many such epidemics at the interval of every 5 years. The transiting Saturn from Sagittarius was giving aspect to the natal Ketu of China in Virgo sign when the corona virus spread across Wuhan in China in the month of December 2019. In the period of Mercury-Mercury-Ketu 26 January 2020 to 18 March 2020 China is suffering from this epidemic at alarming levels. Now in the subsequent Venus sub period the effect of corona virus will start easing out but China will take few more months to recover from it.

Later during February 2022 to February 2023 China will suffer from one more viral epidemic which would be more dangerous than this corona virus.

At present the transiting Saturn from Makar Rashi is right over the natal Moon of China. Soon Mars and Jupiter will also join it making the economy of this country suffer badly during this summer season. China will also become very hostile against its neighbors specially India then.

Chart 4. Foundation Horoscope of USA

If we see the situation in the Leo lagna horoscope of USA then we find that transiting Saturn from Capricorn is right over its natal Ketu. The maha dasha of Rahu-Rahu is running in the horoscope of USA which falls in the 12th house of losses. There is a fear that corona virus may disturb the economy of USA at very serious levels. The transiting Rahu is in Gemini over four planets, including natal Sun, in the horoscope of USA which mark a sensitive period for this country in 2020.

Can corona virus create a danger for Tokyo Olympics in Japan ?

Chart 5. Foundation Chart of Japan

In the Sagittarius (Dhanu) lagna chart of Japan Moon is in Gemini over which Rahu is transiting at present. Japan is preparing to host Olympic games in July-August this year but that time transiting Rahu will reach right over its Janma Nakshatra Mrigshira. Saturn is in Capricorn which is in the 8th house from her natal Moon making a dangerous ‘Ashtama Shani’ Gochara which is going to be very tough for this country. It is Mercury-Jupiter will 4th of April 2020 in the foundation chart of Japan. But in the Mercury-Saturn period coming next Japan is going to face lots of troubles as transiting Saturn is in the 8th from her natal Moon at present. Many athletes and sports persons from western countries are likely to boycott the Olympic games in Japan which will give her huge disappointment. The fear psychosis of corona virus will prevent many athletes from participating in the Olympic games in Japan which will indirectly help the African and some of the Asian countries, including India, to win more medals.

Tokyo Olympic games will not be very successful which is going to be disappointing for Japan who has spend billions in its preparation. Notice here the maha dasha lord Mercury is 7th lord a Maraka planet conjoined with 6th lord Venus and they are in mutual aspect with a functional malefic Saturn. How come it may give any great achievement to Japan at this moment?

Chart 6. Foundation Chart of Iran

In the Cancer lagna foundation horoscope of Iran a very sensitive Jupiter-Venus Vimshottari dasha is running since September 2019. Jupiter-Venus or Venus-Jupiter are generally sensitive period if combinations for bad health are present in a horoscope. In case of a country’s chart it gives trouble to its citizens because of some epidemic. In the chart of Iran Jupiter and Venus are in 6/8 position. Venus is with Ketu which is the Karaka for viral infections. It is no surprise that after China it is Iran which has suffered the most because of corona virus outbreak. It is likely to suffer more in the coming months and the next 2 years for this country are going to be extremely difficult. The troubles from epidemic and war will damage the economy of Iran very badly during her Jupiter-Venus Vimshottari dasha in 2020-2022.
