Planetary Alignments in June 2012

There will be pooling of planets in the sign Taurus on 22 May 2012 as six planets will be conjunct with the eclipsed Sun.

Thus the Earthy sign of Taurus being afflicted by combust planets with Ketu may trigger earthquake, as the eclipse node point is at 6°18’ in Taurus in the constellation Krittika.

June
The month of June will see a Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Scorpio on 4th. The Lunar eclipse will occur in the constellation of Jyeshta (2nd pada) at 20°12’ in Scorpio. This eclipse will be significant, because Mars will occupy the mid point between the sign of Taurus and Scorpio. All the planets, except for Saturn, will occupy the Fixed signs. The planets will form a Trine between Taurus, Leo and Scorpio ( Earth sign =5 planets, Fire = 1 Planet, Watery =2 planets). Mars will aspect its own sign Scorpio, when the Lunar eclipse occurs as Partial eclipse in the region of Australia and Southeast Asia. As the eclipse involves parts of Seismic activity zone, there is a strong indication for earthquake and Tsunami to occur around this time.

The month of June will witness another spectacular phenomenon which is a rare incident in the history of Astronomy. On 6 June 2012, Venus will cross the disk of the Sun, which will be visible and can be observed. A Black Dot will appear in the Sun disk, which is the passage of the Venus. It will be visible at 7:02 hrs in Delhi and 9:32 hrs in Singapore. It will also be Visible in its entirety from Hawaii, Alaska, Australia, the Pacific and eastern Asia, with the beginning of the transit visible from North America. The next such phenomena will occur only in 2117. The constellation Rohini (4th pada) will be involved in exact conjunction of Venus and Sun at 21°42’, Venus will still be in retrogression. Sun will move to Gemini on 15 June 2012. Mars will enter Virgo on 22 June 2012 and become associated with Saturn. Venus will become Direct on 27 June 2012.

Ketu in First House - Various sources

Manasaagari

तनुस्थः सिखी बान्धवक्लेस कर्ता तधा दुर्जनेभ्यो भयं वयाकुलत्वं 

कलत्रादिचिन्ता सदोद्वेगता च सरीरे व्यधा नैकधा मारुतीस्यात 

If ketu is in the first house the native will trouble his relatives,terrorise his enemies,will always be worried about women and children and would be troubled by vaata 

JaatakaBharanam

यदा लग्नगस्चेच्छिखी सूत्र कर्ता  !

सरोगादभोगो भयंव्यग्रताच !!

कलत्रादिचिन्ता महोद्वेगताच  !

सरीरे प्रबाधाव्यधा मारुतस्य  !!

If Ketu is in the lagna the native would be a formulator,would be diseased,a coward,worried about his wife,overly anxious and be afflicted by vaata 

Jataka Paarijaatam

क्रूरो दयाधर्म विहीनसीलो राहौ विलज्ञोपगथेतु रोगी 

केतौ विलग्ने सरुजोतिलुब्धः सोउम्येक्षिते राजसमानभोगी 

If Rahu is in the lagna the native will be of wicked nature,be diseased,bereft of dharma and uncharitable and would not benefit any one.

If ketu is in the lagna,the native will be diseased and very frugal natured.

 Phaladeepika

लग्ने कृतघ्नमसुखं पिसुणं विवर्णं 

स्थानच्युतं विकल देहामत्समाजं 

विद्यार्दहीनमधमोक्तियुतम्कुद्रुश्तिम्

पातः परान्ननिरतं कुरुते धनस्तः 

If ketu is in lagna,the native will be unfaithful,bereft of happiness,would be interfering in the matters of others and complaining on them,would be an outcaste,would be out of his place,would have incomplete organs,would befriend manipulating personalities.

Apocalypse 2012

This is the chart for the time when Sun aligns with the Galactic centre on 21.12.2012 this year which is hyped to be the day when the world is going to end. I wish to present some wild thoughts which are definitely interesting to note from an astrological perspective(Nirayana system).The chart drawn for 11.11 am on this date is appended for reference. The chart shows some important features definitely.  Following are the features i observed :

1.All the planets excepting Jupiter and Saturn are on the Hind side of the Rahu/Ketu axis. Saturn,the significator of masses, is in the face of Rahu.

2.Pluto is transiting over the Galactic centre,which is the origin of the universe.Pluto is what we call the Yama graha which is the planet of death.Pluto is in conjunction with Sun who is the reason of life.
3.Saturn is in opposition to Pluto in Navamsa.Navamsa shows the innerself .
4.Both the planets are in conjunction in Sagittarius,the Galactic Center,in Trimsamsa,which shows evils.
5.In Khavedamsa(D40) too both the planets are in conjunction  in Scorpio and Rahu/Ketu are very close to the Galactic centre.The Khavedamsa chart shows Auspicious and Inauspicious events.Another aspect in the D40 chart is the exact conjunction of Sun and Pluto which are with in 2 degrees to each other.This close conjunction of Sun and Pluto in D40 in the mysterious Scorpio by being the Eigth house of the natural zodiac signifies sudden events related to atomic power or life force.
6.In Ashtamsa D8 ,Rahu/Ketu are in Sagittarius and Pluto is in Scorpio.
7.Rasi Chart has Jupiter and Saturn  in mutual 6/8 positions which is not auspicious and Jupiter at this time is in Mrityamsa in D60. In D40 Sun,Jupiter,Saturn and Pluto are in Yamaamsa.

The conjunctions of Saturn and Pluto which are evident in all the varga charts which show evils is definitely of much importance as the conjunction/opposition signifies mass destructions.The Role of the mysterious Scorpio too is very much evident.

India's Mahatmya Saham and Visits of Prominent Leaders

Jupiter is currently at 7 Degrees Aries and is about to transit over the Mahatmya Saham  which is at 13 degrees Aries as per the Indian Independence chart. Last time when Jupiter transited over the saham in March 2000,Bill Clinton visited India .

This is again happening on March 4 th 2012.

Last year this transit happened twice due to  Jupiter turning retrograde and hovering to and fro over the Saham.

The First transit over the saham was  on July 19,2011 and In June, Prime Minister of New Zealand John Key visited India.

Second transit was on October 11,2011, Hamid Karzai,the Afghan President visited India.

When ever the transit over the Mahatmya saham happens for India, Jupiter would be  in Kshiteesamsa in D-60

Kshiteesa denotes the lord of Rubble.Saturn and Venus are Vahni amsa. These two are the planets closely influencing Jupiter at the time of the transit this time(24.03.2012) . Vahni denotes a large army.The person visiting would be having these characteristics for sure by being the chief of a large army and by being the lord of a country which is in problems. 

Will it be Barack Obama who will be visiting or will it be the president of Japan ?? is to be seen.
The chances of Obama visiting are very high. In his chart there is a Jupiter- Saturn conjunction in his Ascendant and at the time of  transit over the saham,  Jupiter and Saturn are related by being in an opposition to  each other and in close conjunction/opposition to the saham.

Inconsistency in BPHS Books in Circulation ???

Chapter Dasabhedadhyaam

वृस्चिकाधिपती द्वौ च कुजकेतौ मतौ मुने
कुम्भस्य मन्दफणिनावधिपौ समुदीरितौ
The sloka says Mars and Ketu are dual owners for Scorpio and Saturn and Rahu are dual owners for Aquarius.

Chapter Dasa Phalaadhyaayam
Rahu dasa phalam

कन्या च स्वग्रुहम् प्रोक्तं मीनं च स्वग्रुहम् स्मृतं
तद्धये बहु सोउख्यं च धनधान्यादि संपदां

This sloka says that Virgo is the sign of Rahu and Pisces is the sign for Ketu. and says when Rahu or ketu are in own signs they give wealth,happiness in their dasas.

How many ownerships Rahu and Ketu will have ??? In different contexts did Parasara Maharshi say different ownerships???

One more sloka says

राहोस्च वृषभं केतोर्वृस्चिकं तुन्गसन्ग्न्यकं
मूलत्रिकोणं कर्कंच युग्म चापं तधैव च 
 

This sloka says Taurus is the exaltation sign for Rahu and Scorpio for Ketu.Till here it is ok.But i could not under stand the second line. The translation given in telugu in the text is like this 'రాహువునకు కర్కాటకము, కేతువునకు మిథునం,ధనుస్సు మూలత్రికోనములు ' . I could not understand from where Cancer has come into the picture.

In Girish chandra sharma's translation published by Sagittarius publications all the exaltation and moolatrikona signs are in the reverse to this telugu text.But both the books agree with the ownership of Aquarius and Scorpio.

The sloka in the above text(Sagittarius Publications) in the above context says

राहोस्च वृषभं केतोर्वृस्चिकं तुन्गसन्ग्न्यकं
मूलत्रिकोनकं ज्ञेयं युग्म चापं क्रमेण च 
In this sloka क्रमेण is the word used instead of  कर्कंच.This solves the doubt from where Karkaataka has come into picture.The sloka in the telugu text should have been wrongly published.But  the translator(Girish Chandra Sharma) too makes a mistake here .He says Mithuna is the Moola trikona for Ketu and Dhanus for Rahu while the Sloka says "Yugma chaapam kramena cha" . Yugma is Mithuna and Chapam is Dhanus and by kramena  Rahu comes first and Mithuna should be the Moolatrikona sign for Rahu.
