Peculiar Kaala Sarpa Yoga around 20 th July 2013

On the 20th of July,2013 if we observe the planetary positions,three planets namely Retrograde Mercury,Mars and Jupiter are conjunct in the airy sign of Gemini and are in the constellation of Aardra lorded over by Rahu. 

Sun is in the Constellation of Pushyami lorded over by Saturn.

Venus is in the Constellation of Magha lorded over by Ketu. 

Saturn and Rahu are conjunct in the airy sign of Libra and are in the constellation of Swati lorded over by Rahu.

Moon is in the fire sign Sagittarius and in the constellation of Moola which is lorded over by Ketu.

Summing up, 5 Planets are in the star of Rahu and 2 planets are in the star of Ketu.These alignments surely signify drastic events.The days around the 20th July are obviously influenced greatly by Rahu/Ketu.

Significantly,In Khavedamsa and Trimsamsa too the sign Gemini is heavily afflicted by number of planets being posited in the sign or aspecting the same.

The Following Places are related to the Sign Gemini :

Countries: United States,Belgium, Brabant, Lombardy, Lower Egypt ,Sardinia ,West of England, Armenia, Tripoli,Flanders,Wales
Cities: London, Plymouth, Melbourne

, Bruges, Cordova, Metz, Nuremberg, Versailles, Louvaine, San Fransisco, Wolverhampton, Wednesbury.

Lord Krishna's Birth Date and Some thoughts

I was just browsing through the Jagannatha hora data available with me when i came across the Birth chart of Lord Krishna prepared as per Sri BV Raman's research which he has given in his book 'Notable Horoscopes'. I also had the book with me and studied the analysis he gave in his book on lord Krishna's birth chart.This is when i wanted to see if there was any substantiation for the Birth story of the lord given in the Bhaagavata  by way of the placement of planets in the chart prepared.

Immediately after the Lord's birth at about midnight,he was shifted to Nanda and Yashoda's house in Gokula by Vasudeva as per the instructions of the asareeravani.In the process he had to come out of the prison and cross the Yamuna river.It is described in  Bhaagavata that the chains which were used to bind Vasudeva just came off, the river Yamuna  gave way   and a Five headed snake protected the Lord from the heavy rain fall happening at the time while the lord was shifted to Gokula.

Here in below is the chart prepared for the time given by Sri BV Raman:

It is very interesting to see the Rahu/Ketu axis being placed in the Third house which happens to be the Watery sign of Cancer.Mars and Venus too were in the sign in conjunction to the R/K axis.

While the conjunction of Mars(12th lord) and Venus(Ascendant lord) and with the R/K axis surely shows his birth in prison,the conjunction of planets in the third house signify the travel he had to undergo immediately after his birth. Here the R/K axis is interestingly connecting the 9th and 3rd houses from his natal ascendant. 9th house shows the reason behind the birth and the long distance travel for higher learning and 3 rd house too shows travels.We can thus deduce he had to travel immediately after his birth to in order to fulfill his future mission.3rd house being Cancer, a watery sign and containing debilitated Mars and Venus along with the R/K axis also signifies the lord's travel across the river and during the rain.I also see the Rahu/Ketu axis acting as the path way across the river in this context.

Rahu as per Lahiri Ayanamsa is in last quarter of the constellation of Pushyami whose ruling diety is Jupiter and is away from the constellation of Asresha by only a degree.As per Rohini Paksha Ayanamsa,Rahu very interestingly is in the constellation of  Aasresha which is ruled over by the celestial serpent Aadisheshu.This correlates to the Five headed snake which protected the lord during his travel across the river.

The Storm on Saturn

The most fascinating news of today is NASA Capturing images of a gigantic hurricane on the north pole of Saturn.In view of the current transit of multiple planets situated in Aries, in opposition to Saturn  and the Shashstaastaka position of Jupiter/Saturn, the  storm happening now is surely interesting. Saturn is definitely not an exception to the planetary influences on it. Last week there were three coronal mass ejections from Sun in two days. Sun being in conjunction with multiple planets and in opposition and Saturn should be the reason behind the Solar flares.In turn Saturn too seems to be influenced by the said conjunctions and oppositions.

Solar flares seem to happen surely when Sun is involved in multi planetary conjunctions. Here  is a link to the information and planetary alignments at the time of gigantic solar flares :

Given below is the link to the news of the Storm on the Saturn.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/nasa-images-reveal-mammoth-storm-on-saturn-20-times-bigger-than-average-earth-hurricane-8597278.html 

Adjoining is the picture of the Storm on Saturn released by NASA.Another amazing aspect of Saturn is the similarity of the Kurma Yantra which is used as a remedy for malefic effects of Saturn and the Planet's north pole.While Saturn's north pole is in a hexagonal shape, the Kurma yantra too is hexagonal in shape.                                                       

The Gods must be Crazy

It all started with Venus and Mars going into combustion on 5th and 22nd of March respectively. The period from then was quite turbulent as the world has seen many un toward events. All the premier astrologers warned about the impending disasters,in view of the planetary alignments,their transits, the twin eclipses,retrogression of Saturn in conjunction to Rahu in Libra.

 

The signs involved in the conjunctions and alignments were Aries and Libra. While Aries is a fiery sign lorded over by the warrior planet Mars,Libra is the sign lorded over by the passionate,Sensuous and Artistic Venus.

The Sign Libra is symbolised with a balance and extreme malefic influences over it signify the imbalances prevailing in the world and the corrective/Balancing energies in action.Saturn,the signifier of Justice situated in the sign currently and being exalted here,  denotes the balancing energies in action.

War like situations in the countries Korea,Japan,China and India  are the result of these alignments.

The bombing of  Boston marathon happened just when Sun was transiting over from Pisces to Aries on the 15th of April to be conjunct with Combust Mars ,Combust Venus, with Ketu and in opposition to a Retrograde Saturn and Rahu Combination in Libra.Sun is the signifier of fire arms and Ketu denotes terrorists.While a strong and unafflicted  Mars signifies army and police personnel , afflicted and  combust Mars in conjunction with Ketu denotes terrorist violence. Gemini is the natal ascendant of  USA and the malefic transits happening over its MC(10th house) should have resulted in the event.  

Mars is the signifier of Accidents,Violence,Buildings and is said to be the Bhoomi Karaka as he is described as 'धरणी गर्भा संभूतं ' .His combustion and being in opposition to another great malefic Saturn who is retrograde resulted in  many Earth quakes and Building collapses and accidents in Mines.

Venus is the signifier of Passions,Luxuries,Vehicles.In conjunction with the fiery Mars signifies extreme passions. Both the planets were combust making them even more malefic.The combination in opposition to Retrograde Saturn and in conjunction with the Rahu/Ketu axis has resulted in the events related to the rapes of minors.Saturn-Venus combination is said to result in deviating from the normal sexual Patterns.

Venus being combust and under many malefic influences has resulted in the deaths of some noted  Artists/Singers.

The period still seems to be unstable till the time when Saturn turns direct on 6th of July. Around the 1 st of May there might be a volcanic eruption in or in countries around Portugal/Japan. There may be a Meteor hit as has happened in Russia recently, in Europe ,USA,India,Tibet or Alaska or a plane crash.

Please  pray for World Peace.Meditate and recite the following mantra daily as many times as possible : 

ॐ स॒ह ना॑ववतु। स॒ह नौ॑ भुनक्तु। स॒ह वीर्यं॑ करवावहै। ते॒ज॒स्वि ना॒वधी॑तमस्तु॒। मा विद्विषा॒वहै॥ ॐ शान्ति॒ शान्ति॒ शान्ति॑॥
om sa̱ha nā̍vavatu | sa̱ha nau̍ bhunaktu | sa̱ha vīrya̍ṁ karavāvahai | te̱ja̱svi nā̱vadhī̍tamastu̱ | mā vidviṣā̱vahai̎ || om śānti̱ḥ śānti̱ḥ śānti̍ḥ ||

Albert Einstein's Horoscope - Some Observations

Albert Einstein, the greatest scientist of the 20th Century and noble prize winner is famous for his theory of relativity and needs no introduction. Given herein is the link to a writeup on him on the Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein

Though he was a German by birth,he opposed usage of the then newly discovered nuclear fission as a weapon and alerted the President of America that Germany might be developing a nuclear weapon and recommended that United States should initiate a similar research which eventually led to what would become the Manhattan Project.While Germany could not make a nuclear weapon, United States developed nuclear weapons successfully and used it on Japan at a later stage of the Second World War. This led the world countries into a race to develop nuclear weapons subsequently.

 His chart surely makes an interesting study , as his life revolves mainly around scientific postulations and discoveries.

On a study of his chart we can see the following:

1.Firstly,his Eigth house of research and studies is extremely strong with a Sarvaashtaka varga score of 40.It is not surprising that he has become a scientist/researcher with his 8th house being this strong.

2.Exalted Mars is in his 8th house(research) in conjunction to the Rahu/Ketu axis.Mars is the planet which signifies Energy!!!. In his most famous theory of relativity, he equalises Energy as a multiple of Mass ( E =mc2). 

3.Eigth lord Saturn who also is the 9th lord is in a parivartana Yoga with his 10th lord Jupiter.This causes a Raja Yoga which supports his research.

4.His Atma karaka is Venus and is situated in his 10th house (profession) in conjunction with the 8th lord Saturn(Research).

5Atma karaka in Pisces makes the native attain emancipation,practically making Einstein discover the theory of relativity.Moreover his Atma karaka being in his 10th house formed a strong Malavya Mahapurusha Yoga.

6.His Ascendant lord Mercury though debilitated in his 10th house had the debility cancelled by being in conjunction with exalted Venus.

7.His Ascendant lord Mercury is in the star of Saturn who is the 8th lord as said above.8.Saturn who is also the 9th lord of higher learning and being involved in very strong auspicious yogas made him what he is.

COMET PAN-STARRS - A MANI KETU ???

The Comet PAN STARRS  makes its closest approach to the Sun today. The comet rises in the West and has its crest straight upwards.Link to the news of the comets approach is as herein :  http://www.space.com/20147-comet-pan-starrs-sunset-viewing.html 

Varahamihira's Brihat samhitha describes about the Comets and the impact they create on Earth when they approach close. I tried correlating the features of the Comet with that given in the text and find that the description given for the Comet MANIKETU closely resembles that of  the Comet under study.

Description of  Maniketu given in the Samhitha is as follows : The Comet named Maniketu is in the form of a tiny little star,rising in the west and visible only once for a period of only three hours.Its crest is straight and white like a streak of milk.Even as it appears,it causes abundant food for Four and a half months;but it also helps the abnormal appearance of harmful creatures such as reptiles,venomous creatures and the like.

What is Interesting me about the description of the Ketu is, it is said the Comet causes abnormal appearances of harmful creatures,and the comet at present is making a close approach when there is a group of planets in Aquarius.Sun,Venus are in Purvabhaadra ( Ruling diety is Ajaikapaada),Mercury(R) in Satabhisha, and in conjunction to Neptune,the signifier of mysteries.Ajaikapaada is described as a goat headed and single legged diety.It is to be seen whether there would be sightings of  any weird creatures during this time!!!

In 1933 when the Comet Jacobini Zinner made its closest approach, Rahu was in the constellation of Satabhisha in exact opposition to Neptune - Jupiter conjunction in Leo,and the Lochness Monster was reportedly sighted.This comet too was rising in the west as given in the description to Mani Ketu.

There is more to what meets the eye in the Pope's resignation ???

On 26th of May 2012, i wrote about the Jupiter's transit over Kali Saham in Vatican City's Vedic horoscope Chart. At that time,there was news of Pope's butler being arrested due to his involvement in leaking of crucial documents showing how contracts were awarded to favoured suppliers and the documents which show internal struggles in the Vatican Bank.

On 24th of July,2012,Jupiter transited over the Kali Saham(point of the zodiac,transit of slow moving planets over which results in untoward events) of Vatican City.Link to my earlier writeup has been given hereunder for reference.

http://horasarvam.blogspot.in/2012/05/vatican-leaks-scandal-and-vaticans-kali.html

The previous transit of Jupiter over the Kali saham on 7th April,2001 in Vatican's chart resulted in the then Pope John Paul II being diagnosed with Alzheimer's around that date.
In the present context,after the arrest of the pope's butler last year,things were calm till the time when suddenly on  11th of February this year,the Pope announced his resignation from Papacy.Jupiter started his retrograde movement on the 5th of October2012,till which time there was news of the Vatican leaks scandal which is now well known as Vatileaks.The Butler has asked for pardon of the Pope and has been pardoned.At the time Jupiter entered retrogression on the 5th October he has transited upto 22 deg Taurus and the issue seemed to calm down.In retrogression,Jupiter transited back in Taurus till 12 deg Taurus and came out of retrogression on January 29th and then started to move closer to the 'Kali Saham' at 14 deg Taurus.The issue resurfaced again.And this time it was the resignation of the Pope which shocked the world.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_resignation

Announcement of resignation on the 11th is the culmination of some major behind the scene factors as the first transit in July 24th,2012 over the saham happened when the Jupiter was in conjunction with debilitated Ketu who signifies coups.

Resignation of a Pope didn't happen in the past 600 years. Though the Pope has announced that his resignation is due to his old age,it was a shocking and surprising development as no one before the current Pope resigned in the previous 600 years.

Is there more to what meets the eye in his resignation?Is he pressurised by a power full lobby which wants to get hold of the control over Vatican? Going by the transit of Jupiter over the Saham, it surely seems so. And now the Vatican in an official announcement today has 'condemned ' the Italian media reports of  intrigue, corruption and blackmail among senior prelates.  

Links to the relevant reports have been given here under:

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/europe/Vatican-condemns-scandal-ahead-of-Pope-Benedict-XVIs-resignation/articleshow/18643337.cms 

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/europe/Pope-exit-tied-to-gay-scandal-probe/articleshow/18637810.cms 

What ever may be the truth, transit of Jupiter over the Vatican's Kali Saham has had its effect by tarnishing its image in a big way.!!!

Meteor Explodes over Eastern Russia - History repeats

In a very surprising celestial event today a meteor blast occured over eastern Russia injuring over 500 people and creating panic. The blast occured over a sensitive region of Russia where atomic reactors were located.

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/02/15/world/europe/russia-meteor-shower/index.html?hpt=hp_inthenews

In my previous post on the Saturn- Rahu Conjuction in Libra, http://horasarvam.blogspot.in/2012/12/the-saturn-rahu-conjunction-contd.html i put before the readers what happened when the earlier conjunction happened in Libra 147 years back. There were two meteor impacts in the year 1865.One fell on Wisconsin which came to be known as Claywater meteor incident and the other at Gaya,India.

And now, history repeats itself.The same kind of event happened today again when the same conjunction is currently happening in Libra.Saturn and Rahu impacting the airy sign of Libra caused the events of similar kind then and at present.

This event is considered a bad omen and would result in further and far reaching negative impact over the region.
