Hindu New year, Corona and Aftermath

The chart for the Hindu new year is cast when the Sun and Moon transit at the same degrees in the sign of Pisces, in Chaitra month, Shukla Paksh (waxing Moon) Pratipada (first day of New Moon). This year, the Sun and Moon were transiting at the same longitudes in Pisces on 24th March, at 14:58 Hrs (IST). Cancer ascendant was rising with hard core malefics, Saturn & Mars in the seventh house aspecting the Lagna (ascendant). In Mundane astrology it indicates a ‘war like situation’, and it IS a war like situation for India with the Corona virus crises causing a complete ‘lock down’ as it happens during war time. In my article on 15th of March, Corona Virus – Impact on India and rest of the world, I have given the details of the crises and immediate future of India and some other countries. Two malefics in the 7th house also indicates a lean and stressful period for the country business, economy, social harmony and diplomatic relations of the country. In the Bhava chart both Saturn and Mars go in the sixth house though remain in Capricorn (Makar). This indicates an ‘Emergency’ like situation in the country later after May also. There are three major eclipses in the months of June & July out of which two will be visible in India. The Summer eclipse fall in the 2/8 axis of the Independent India chart of Taurus ascendant. Benefic Venus in the 10th house aspected by ‘Yogakaraka’ Mars (which is also exalted) and also Jupiter the 6th and also the 9th lords is a very good indication of positive outcomes of the efforts of the Central and State Governments to restrict the community spread of Corona. As indicated earlier also, the situation will start, just coming under control between 23rd to 28th of April when Mercury transits to Aries and Rahu transits out of Ardra Nakshatra (23/04) which happens to be its own Nakshatra. Later when Mars leaves Capricorn (5th May) and enters Aquarius leaving Saturn and Jupiter, the situation will further improve and come in control. All in all the situation will start looking positive in the last week of May ’20. September 2020 is finally when the dear of Corona and its spread will start reducing. India is running the Moon-Saturn MD/AD since December 2019 till July 2021. Saturn though not placed well in the watery and unfriendly sign of Cancer is still the ‘Yogakaraka’ for the Taurus ascendant chart of Independent India. Transit of the 9th lord in ninth house along with Mars and the ever benefic Jupiter indicates a divine protection for the country to be able to come out of the Corona crises. The final relief will though come in September when Ketu transits out of Saggitarius where currently it is transiting its own Nakshatra, Moola. The transit of two malefics and Jupiter in Capricorn however is not a good indication for the economy of the country. Hence the country is likely to plunge further in the economic recession for another year at least. It would start coming out of this recession by July 2021 when the Moon/Saturn dasha ends and Mercury AD starts. The benefic Mercury Ad will also get the Stock market on track along with the economy since it is the lord of second (Finance) and fifth (stock market) house in the foundation chart of India. Jupiter Saturn conjunction The two of the biggest planets, Saturn and Jupiter are now conjunct in Capricorn. Saturn Jupiter conjunction indicates rise of socialism across the globe where capitalism will get exposed and public will start pressurizing their respective Governments for more of Public welfare policies to be implemented. India will also experience the same trend. The conjunction of these two planets is happening in the ninth house of the chart of India which also indicates that people in the country will become more religious and also opt for remedies of alternative and traditional medical therapies like Yoga, Ayurveda, Naturopathy and organic treatment. The Hospitality, Airline, Travel & Tourism and Entertainment sector will continue to suffer for a longer period of time, though this can be indicated by anyone without using astrology also. The 9th lord Jupiter is in the 6th house of the new year chart aspecting the 10th house with Moon and Sun in the 9th house give a similar indication of Judiciary giving decisions favouring the Government. 8th lord (research) conjunction with 10th and 5th lord Mars also indicates a good Yoga for new research projects to be undertaken. 12th Lord Mercury in 8th house also indicates research in the field of medicine where India may develop some vaccines to counter epidemics like Corona. Summer Indications: Jupiter and Saturn will remain in Uttara Ashada nakshatra during the summer season in Capricorn (Makar). Capricorn, in Mundane astrology is treated as a watery sign, hence the summer will be moderate. The conjunction of Mars, Saturn and Jupiter in Uttara ashada in April tend to indicate mild earth quakes before 15th April in northwest part of India and some part of Pakistan also. Onwards from May India will likely get the much needed relief from Corona rather the Indian Sub continent (including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh & Pakistan) will get the relief. Heat wave will increase by the end of April when Mercury conjoins Sun in the fiery sign of Aries. Corona however will remain a concern in USA and Europe for a longer period till September when it will majorly subside when Ketu leaves Sagittarius and its own Nakshatra, Moola. #staysafe #pray #meditate

2020 United States Presidential Elections

Who will win?, is a question being thought over by the citizens of USA and also the world over. Amid the ‘Oil Crises’, ‘COVID-19 Pandemic control’ and ‘Economic crises’, the US Presidential elections are scheduled for November 03 2020. The candidates running for the Presidential race this time are the incumbent Republican Donald Trump and the Democrat Joe Biden (presumptive). Let us analyse the charts below and try to understand as to who would occupy the White House in 2021. Since we do not have the charts of the Democratic or Republican party, we will try to calculate the outcome of the elections from the charts of the two candidates Donald Trump: DoB: 14th Jun 1946 ToB: 10:54 PoB: New York (NY) The current US President Donald Trump is currently under lot of criticism for handling the Corona virus crises. Trump had become the President in November 2016 by defeating the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in a close contest. At the time of elections in 2016, Trump was running the ‘Chidra Dasha’ of Rahu/Mars which actually gave Him ‘Raj Yoga’ results, with Mars in Lagna and Rahu with Sun in tenth house (10H). Rahu in 10H is also aspected by the all benefic Jupiter from the second house (2H). Donald Trump was born on the day of a Lunar eclipse. The Sun and Moon are in very close degrees of Rahu and Ketu in 10/4 axis. But Sun in 10H receiving the aspect of the 5th lord Jupiter from the second house is giving a Raj Yoga. Moon, though debilitated in the 4H is being aspected by the lord of the house Mars, who also happens to be a Yoga karaka for a Leo ascendant chart, hence both the luminaries get involved in a Raja Yoga. The dasha of Jupiter started immediately after the elections. Jupiter is the 5th lord placed in the 2nd house. Hence it was no surprise that the US economy grew at a good rate and unemployment rate also went as low as 3.7%. Jupiter, is aspected by malefic Saturn from the 12th house and also debilitates in the Dashamsha chart aspecting the 10th house, hence He also faced some humiliation because of controversial decisions on the immigration policy and trade war with China. Now, He is running the dasha of Jupiter-Saturn from January’19 to July ’21, in which He will be fighting His re election.. Saturn is the 6th and 7th lord in D1 placed in the 12th house of losses conjunct with the 10th and 3rd lord Venus. Trump will be running the Char dasha od Cancer-Pisces which are the 12th and 8th houses respectively. DK Saturn and GK Venus places in the 12th house of losses are aspected (Jaimini) by AmK Moon from the 4th house. It does promise a Raj Yoga but 12th and 8th houses activated, it is likely to be a tough fight to result in a close defeat and He may not return to the White house. The foundation chart of USA with Leo Ascendant and transit of planets (marked in RED) on November 3rd 2020. Currently the Mahadasha (MD) of Rahu is running till October 2036. Rahu in 12th House and transiting Rahu in 10th house (Taurus) indicates a war like situation as Saturn transits 6th House and Mars transits the 8th House. It also indicates in change in power as Rahu transits the 10th House. Joe Biden The horoscope of Joe Biden which I have 20th November 1942 with Scorpio ascendant with Sun in the Ascendant. Joe Biden joined the US senate as a Democrat in 1972 and had six consecutive wins before He finally became the Vice President of United States from 2009 till 2017. There is a very strong ‘Gaj Kesari’ yoga in the horoscope which has given Him a long stint in power with Moon in the 6H Aries aspected by its own lord Mars and Jupiter (2L & 5L) exalted in the 9H of luck. In the year 2009 Biden was running the dasha of Jupiter-Saturn with exalted Jupiter in the 9H and Saturn (4L) in 7H of ‘Pada Prapti’ aspected by Sun (10L) and Venus (7L) which again is a Raja Yoga as both Sun and Venus are aspected by exalted Jupiter (5L) from the 9H. Now, during the dasha of Jupiter-Rahu (April 2020 – Sept 2022), Biden will be contesting the election for the US President. Rahu is in Leo (10H) and its dispositor Sun is in the ascendant which makes it very strong. Though Jup-Rah placed in 12/2 position in D/1 could be a little concern placed in the 9H and 10H is very promising and further strengthens in the Navamsha (D/9) chart. In the Dashamsha chart Rahu is placed in the ascendant and its dispositor Venus is plaved in the house of gains, the 11th house. Jupiter aspects the 10H of D/10 from the 6H which is again very promising. He would be running the dasha of Jup/Rah/Jup on November 3rd, hence it looks like the chances of winning are more favourable for Him Jow Biden will be under the influence of Sagitarius-Leo period as per Chara dasha (Jaimini) from August 2020 till March 2021, which is also very promising. Sagittarius is the is the second house from the Ascendant and third from AK (AtamaKaraka) Mercury in 12H conjunct with AmK Mars. Leo is the 10th house from Ascendant and 11th house from AmK Mars, receiving aspect (Jaimini) of both the AK and the AmK, Mercury and Mars respectively which itself is a strong Raja Yoga. So Joe Biden looks to be the next President of the United Sates winning by a whisker after a long close fight. # NOTE: Above is the understanding of the astrologer as per the birth details available from the most genuine source known to Him.

The last solar eclipse of 2020

The annual solar eclipse of 14th December '20 is the last solar eclipse of this never never ending year. With 5 planets in Scorpio in Anuradha and Jyeshta Nakshatras, it is likely that the southern continents receive heat waves and rains in South American countries. v.i.z Brazil, Peru, Argentina some parts of Chile etc. The earthquake sensitive zones of Chile and countries around the equator can have very strong tremors of earthquakes within a month of this solar eclipse. In India there could be a cyclone in the south western parts of the countries with Mahrashtra, Gujarat and Karnataka experiencing unusual rains within 20 days of the eclipse. The temperature will be below normal in the North Eastern states of India with North India experiencing unusual cold this winters to break all records.

Record breaking snowfall and rainfall activity in January '21. Follow us for further results of Sun in Capricorn. Sun in Capricorn Makar Sankranti and the aftermath There are five planets concentrated in Capricorn (Makar) including mighty Jupiter and supreme Saturn at close degrees in Uttara ashadha and Shravana Nakshatra (Asterism). Shravana being the Moon’s nakshatra is watery in nature and Capricorn is treated as a half earthy, half watery sign starting from zero degrees. True to the logo of Capricorn which is an alligator, which can stay at ease on land as well as water. In Europe as well as the hilly region of North India there will be a long and heavy snowfall which will break all records. Very heavy rainfall may surprise all in the cold and long winter from January 15th to end of February 2021.

Mars being in a fiery sign in a quadrant from Saturn and Jupiter is a clear combination of deadly earthquakes. These trmors are likely to occur between January 15th to first week of March ‘21. World over it will be the same experience of cold and earthquakes (Near equator countries). It is a looong snowy and rainy winter for all.
