The Conjunction of Jupiter with Rahu is said to be Guru Chandala Yoga. The latest of this type of conjunction is currently in operation. Jupiter and Rahu are close in the last degrees of Simha/Leo rasi from January this year.The two were closest on the 30th of January.
As one can understand from the name of the Yoga, the Yoga results in Chandalas being famous during the currency of the Conjunction.
Jupiter presides over Teachers,Educational institutions,Treasury,is the Planet of Divine grace and is the karaka for child birth.
Afzal Guru being glorified by students in JNU is a classic example of the Guru Chandala Yoga.The JNU sedition controversy started on the 9th of February.
Sita Ram Yechury making derogatory remarks on Goddess Durga is another repercussion of the Conjunction.
The World health organisation issuing a health emergency on 1st February on suspicion that the Zika virus infection is the reason behind newborn microcephaly by mother to child transmission and that the infection is suspected to impact the fetal development, is another major impact of the ongoing close conjunction of Jupiter and Rahu.
Earlier in the year, students from India were deported from US as the Universities in which they were seeking admission were suspected to be under the scanner of the Government is another effect.
Why all this is happening in India ??? Leo, by being the fourth house in the Indian Independence chart, is the house of domestic affairs, where the conjunction is happening.
