As the cases of covid-19 are rapidly growing around us in India we have seen many people having mild symptoms only while some have suffered from this influenza at very serious levels. As per the official website of WHO the ‘coronavirus disease (covid-19) is an infectious disease which gives mild to moderate respiratory illness to the people infected from it. Most of the people recover from it without requiring special treatment. But older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease and cancer are more likely to develop serious illnesses’. I started collecting the horoscopes of coronavirus patients since March 2020 and by the end of September 2020 I was able to study more than 60 such cases. Based on my study I was able to formulate following parameters which I have observed in the horoscopes of people suffering from coronavirus.
{Note: This article was written by me in October 2020 and was published in April 2021 issue of Modern Astrology Magazine. The same is been reproduce here for the readers of my blog}
- The Dasa, Bhukti or Antra of Rahu or Ketu was mostly found in the horoscopes of people suffering from covid-19. In some cases it was seen that Dasa, Bhukti or Antra of planets in conjunction with Rahu or Ketu or planets in the Nakshatra of Rahu or Ketu was also running at the time when this disease was detected.
- In serious cases of covid-19 the native were also found to be running under the influences of ‘Dusthana lords’ (6th, 8th or 12th houses lords) apart from the Rahu-Ketu dasa periods.
- Special role of affliction to the lagna, Sun or Moon with Rahu-Ketu were also found in many cases. In some cases where chest infection was severe the fourth house from the lagna and Moon was found to be afflicted by hard malefic planets.
Role of Rahu-Ketu in the horoscope of Corona Virus Patients
Now I will give some practical examples so that the readers would be able to understand how the above mentioned astrological parameters were applied on the horoscopes of covid-19 patients for giving astrological forecasts. In all the horoscopes given in this article Chitra Paksha or Lahiri Ayanamsa has been used.
Twin Brothers infected with COVID-19
The first case I am taking is of twin brothers from Calcutta who were admitted to the hospital in the last week of June because of serious infection of coronavirus. Their father was died just few days ago and mother was also ill due to coronavirus infection.
Chart 1. Elder Twin
25 June 1977, 03:45 hours at Calcutta, West Bengal
Longitude: 88 E 22’ and Latitude: 22 N 34’
Balance of Dasa in Vimshottari: Moon 6 years 5 months 15 days
The elder twin has to be admitted into the ICU in the last week of June when he was under Jupiter-Moon-Rahu in Vimshottari which ran from 18 June 2020 to 30 August 2020. In his Taurus lagna chart the Jupiter is the lord of 8th house and Bhukti lord Moon is taking the lordship of 3rd house. The 8th house is the 12th from the 9th house of father. The 3rd house is the 7th (a Maraka house) from the 9th house of father. He had just lost his father in the first week of June due to covid-19. Now he was admitted into the hospital along with his younger twin brother and also mother both of them suffering from coronavirus disease. See the Bhukti lord Moon is in conjunction with Rahu fulfilling the first astrological parameter for coronavirus infection. Sun in his chart is in Ardra a Nakshatra ruled by Rahu. The lagna is un-afflicted as Jupiter is strongly posted in it giving protection. He was on the ventilator on the 5th of July in a critical condition when this horoscope was given to me.
The Antra lord Rahu is with 3rd lord Moon receiving the aspect of Saturn which is Yogakaraka for Taurus lagna was giving hope under grim circumstances. In Navamsa the Dasa lord Jupiter, Bhukti lord Moon and Antra lord Rahu were strongly placed so a forecast was given that he will recover soon which later came true.
Chart 2. Younger Twin
25 June 1977, 04:12 hours at Calcutta, West Bengal
Longitude: 88 E 22’ and Latitude: 22 N 34’
Balance of Dasa in Vimshottari: Moon 6 years 3 months 6 days
The younger twin was also hospitalized in the last week of June but his condition was stable. He didn’t required to be put under intensive care unit (ICU) and recovered earlier than his elder twin brother. He was under Jupiter-Moon-Jupiter period in Vimshottari from 21 June 2020 to 25 August 2020. Now notice here that both the twin brother were under Jupiter Dasa and Moon Bhukti while the Antra was difference due to the time interval they had in their birth timings. The younger twin was under Jupiter Antra in the last week of June while the elder twin was under Rahu Antra during the same time period which gave him coronavirus infection at much more serious note. This is an example how good the calculations of Vimshottari dasa works while using Lahiri Ayanamsa. We can work at the level of Antra and even Sookshma Dasa while using Lahiri Ayanamsa on horoscopes.
Chart 3. An asymptomatic corona case of CEO
7 May 1974, 18:43 hours at Deoria, UP
Longitude: 83 E 47’ and Latitude: 26 N 30’
Balance of Dasa in Vimshottari: Saturn 13 years 7 months and 19 days
This Libra lagna horoscope given here is of a CEO of big fashion brand in India. He got infected with corona virus in the first week of September when he was passing through Venus-Rahu-Mercury-Moon (from 26 August 2020 to 8 September 2020). He rang me up on the 7th of September and told me that one employee in his office was tested positive for COVID-19 so the whole staff had now given their samples for the test. He asked me what you think about the result. I told him that since you are under the Bhukti of Rahu so there are chances for you to get tested positive but yours will be an asymptomatic case with mild infections only. I explained to him that your lagna, lagna lord and Sun are very strong but it is only Moon which is afflicted in Rahu-Ketu axis. The Sookshma Dasa was of Moon till 8th of September when the result came and he was asked by the health officers to stay quarantine for 15 days. I again reassured him that he will recover soon as his Dasa of Venus-Rahu-Mercury is not alarming as the Antra lord Mercury is the lord of 9th house and is not afflicted by hard malefic planets in Rasi and Navamsa. He got his second COVID-19 test done after 7 days which came negative and thus authorities allowed him to go outside for his work.
Chart 4. A child specialist doctor infected with corona

He got admitted to his hospital where he works in the second week of September when he was passing through Saturn-Saturn-Mercury in Vimshottari (10 August 2020 to 13 January 2021). It was the Sookshma Dasa of Venus then. Saturn-Saturn-Mercury-Venus from 10th of September 2020 to 6th of October 2020 when he had to remain in the hospital due to chest infection and pneumonia after getting COVID-19 positive. It is an example of a serious case of coronavirus infection. Notice here the close degree conjunction of Sun with Rahu. The lagna and Mars are in Mrityu Bhagn degrees which are also dangerous. Mars as the 6th lord is conjoined with 8th lord Saturn and Moon which signify lungs. They are in the 4th house which is most dangerous for a covid-19 patients as it can give him a severe chest infection. He had to spend 30 days in the hospital during his Saturn-Saturn-Mercury-Venus Dasa in Vimshottari.
Saturn as the 8th lord aspect the Janma lagna which is in Mrityu Bhagh degrees. The Antra lord Mercury as the lagna lord is in conjunction with Rahu which as per our parameters gives infections. The Sookshma Dasa lord Venus is in Ardra Nakshatra which is ruled by Rahu. In Navamsha Venus is along with Rahu. It is only after one month he was able to recover from the serious chest infection due to COVID-19.

So Rahu and Ketu has influence his lagna and Sun. The Dasa lord Venus is in the 6th house of diseases and Bhukti lord Sun is in the Nakshatra of Rahu. The Antra lord Jupiter is the lord of 6th house but since it is not under any serious affliction so he recovered with home quarantine treatment only.

Balance of Dasa in Vimshottari: Mercury 11 years 0 months 18 days
This Vargottama Gemini lagna chart is of a young businessman who had to admitted to the ICU in the mid of September due to severe chest congestion after corona virus infection. It was during his Vimshottari Dasa of Sun-Rahu-Moon from 6 September 2020 to 3 October 2020 when he was suffering from coronavirus infections. His cousin brother consulted he for his recovery in the mid of September. A prediction was given to him that he will recovery after his Antra of Moon gets over in the first week of October. In the birth chart the 8th lord Saturn, 3rd lord Sun and lagna lord Mercury were in Kendra. The 10th lord Jupiter in the 3rd house was also indicating good longevity. The 8th house is Ayu Sathan, the primary house for longevity. The 8th from 8th is the 3rd house which is also to be seen for longevity matters. The 10th house is the 8th from the 3rd so it is also taken as house for longevity. In Navamsa also the lords of 8th, 3rd and 10th house were strong so a prediction was given to his family that there will not be any danger go his life and he will recovery completely in first week of October. This forecast came out correct and he was discharged from the hospital during the given time frame.
See his Dasa lord Sun is in close conjunction with 8th lord Saturn. Bhukti lord is Rahu which is with 5th lord Venus showing promise of recovery. The 5th and 9th houses lords can give recovery from serious illness. The Antra lord Moon is the karaka for lungs badly placed in the 6th house in debilitation and getting aspect of 8th lord Saturn made him hospitalized. It is when the Antra of Mars came, which is well placed in the 5th house, he got fully recovered after the 3rd of October 2020. The recovery from illness happen during Sun-Rahu-Mars in Vimshottari. Mars as the Antra lord is in benefic sign and in the benefic Navamsa was helpful in his recovery from serious illness.
Chart 7. Amit Shah
22 October 1964, 05:25 hours at Mumbai, Maharashtra
Longitude: 72 E 49’ and Latitude: 18 N 58’
Balance of Dasa in Vimshottari: Venus 16 years 0 months 25 days
The Virgo lagna horoscope given here is of Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah who was tested positive for corona virus infection on the 2nd of August and was admitted to Medanta Hospital in Delhi. Later after few days he quarantined himself at AIIMS to minimise health risk. On the 17th of August he was tested negative for coronavirus and after few days got discharged from the hospital. But in the month of September he was again admitted to the AIIMS for couple of days due to some chest infection. During Rahu-Moon-Venus (from 2nd July 2020 to 2nd October 2020) he had to face these health issues due to COVID-19 which became national headlines and lots of speculations about his health were being made then , after he was seen with lots of weight loss in pictures. In the birth chart of Amit Shah there is no benefic planet in Kendra from lagan and Moon which is a big weakness when it comes to the matters of health and longevity.
An exchange of houses between 2nd lord Venus and 12th lord Sun is good for excellent communication skills but then since these lords are under bad aspects of Saturn and Mars respectively so this is not a good yoga for health. Also an exchange between 8th lord Mars and 11th lord Moon is a good yoga for a politician as 8th house is also the house of surprise gains and signify the success of political plots against enemies. Moon is in exchange with its sign lord Mars is a good Raja Yoga as per the ‘Chandra Yoga Adhayaa’ of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. But here Moon is in the 8th house under the aspects of retrograde 6th lord Saturn from the 6th house and also Sun-Mercury which are in the 2nd house a ‘Maraka’ bhava. In Navamsa Moon again comes under affliction as it get the bad aspect of Saturn from the 6th house of diseases.
The noticeable point here is that 4th house from both lagna and Moon has the presence of malefic planets. The 5th house from the lagna and from the Sun is under the aspect of Mars. So the lungs signify by 4th house and the heart denoted by Sun and the 5th house are both at risk. The dasa Chidra of Rahu-Mars from October 2020 to November 2021 and later the Jupiter-Jupiter period are both becoming ‘Maraka’. Rahu dasa period in a horoscope which has affliction to the 4th house from lagna and Moon and the Sun and 5th house can be very dangerous as it may give lots of health complications which may risk longevity of a native.
