Chart 1. Horoscope of Total Solar Eclipse
8 April 2024, 14:20:42 at Washington, District of Columbia, USA
In the Cancer lagna horoscope of total solar eclipse the 10th lord and 5th lord Mars is in the 8th house along with 8th lord Saturn indicate some mass deaths due to firearm violence and/or a terror attack which may happen within 3 months of this total solar eclipse. There could be two such major violent incidents, involving children, which will shock the society of USA and there will also be a major political scandal as the 10th house is also afflicted by the aspect of Saturn in both Rashi and Navamsha of the eclipse horoscope.
A dangerous cyclone foreseen
The luminaries the Sun and the Moon are in a watery sign Pisces at the time of this eclipse, and in Navamsha they are in an airy sign Aquarius. This combination can give unseasonal rainfall due to a super cyclone in the coastal areas of the USA particularly in the East Coast, and also in Mexico which can give heavy damage to properties and lives since Mars and Saturn are in the 8th house of the total solar eclipse horoscope.
Since Mars and Saturn are giving aspect to the 2nd house in the eclipse chart and in Navamsha the luminaries are in the 2nd house so the economy of USA may suffer badly during the Hindu New Year 2024-25 (April 2024 to April 2025).
Chart 2. Foundation Horoscope of USA
In the foundation horoscope of USA (Chart 2) we can see these indications of bad effects on the economy of USA as the Saturn the lord of 6th (debts) and 7th (war expenses) is placed in the 2nd house (state exchequer) and is getting the aspect by hard malefic Mars. The transiting Ketu is hovering over the natal Saturn who’s Anter Dasha in the Maha Dasha of Rahu can prove very fearful for the economy, political and social conditions of the country in the next 2 years. The heavy war expenditure will create problem of increased debt on the US economy in next 2 years and inflation will trouble its general public.
In Mundane astrology Rahu-Saturn or Saturn-Rahu Dasha periods in the foundation horoscope of a country can give political upheavals, violence, explosions, terror attack, scandals etc. if they are unfavorably placed and the Hindu New Year chart at that time is also not favorable. In the foundation horoscope of USA the Vimshottari Dasha of Rahu and Anter Dasha of Saturn is running from 21 November 2023 to 27 September 2026.
The USA may soon launch an air strike in Yemen on the Houti rebels during the ongoing Rahu-Saturn-Saturn period in Vimshottari from 21 November 2023 to 4 May 2024.
How the Eclipse will affect Mexico?
This total eclipse of 8th of April will also be visible in Mexico but it will not be severely dangerous for them, for the reason that at the time of the maximum point of this eclipse, when the Sun and the Moon will be at the same longitude, the Gemini sign would be rising there. Mars and Saturn would come into the 9th house as compare to the case of USA where they were in the 8th house of mass death and national tragedy.
The Mexico is going for the general elections on the 2nd of June this year to elect her new President. This Hindu New Year chart for Mexico, which is also the eclipse horoscope, is showing reelection of the present ruling government rather than some national tragedy like it was indicating in the case of USA (chart 1). There will be major political and constitutional developments in Mexico after this total solar eclipse. The ruling Morena political party, a Mexican left wing party, is likely to get pro-incumbency votes to retain power as the lagna and the 10th lord of the Hindu New Year chart are conjoined at the 11th house of gains. Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo is the nominee for President Post by ruling Morena party of Mexico. She can become the next president of the country as stars are favouring the ruling regime in the country.
