Pluto's Trail - Muslim Conquests - The Indian Connections

Pluto's transit of Sagittarius seems to have an Indian Connection. I have observed three instances where in the Transit has caused the Mohommaden invaders to enter the Indo - Pak  territory from the Arab lands in  history. 

In the year 1024, Mohammad Ghazini invaded India for the first time.He swept accross the Thar desert in Rajasthan defeating the tiny Hindu Rajput Kingdoms on his way to finally destroy and plunder the wealth at Somnath temple in Gujarat. He subsequently established Ghaznavid rule in Northern India.Mohammed Ghazini is said to have personally hammered the Siva Linga in the temple into pieces and carried them all the way back to use the pieces in building foot steps of a mosque.In the year 1024,Pluto was transiting in Sagittarius in the constellation of Poorvashadha, along with Rahu/Ketu axis in opposition to Uranus transiting in Ardra in Gemini.

In the year 1521,Babur, descendant of the Mongol-Timurid dynasty and who established the Mughal empire in India set his foot hold in the Sindh which is now part of Pakistan.later on he invaded Delhi in the year 1526,and defeated the Sultan of Delhi in the battle which is known as the battle of Panipat. In the year 1521,Pluto was again transiting in Sagittarius in the constellation of Poorvashadha.Before Babur,Timur in 1390, has invaded India and has returned back after plundering wealth but did not set up his empire. 

The above two instances show that long lasting Mohammaden empires were established in India when Pluto was transiting in Sagittarius. It is noteworthy in this context that the constellations of Poorvashadha and Uttarashaadha represent the regions of Gujarat,Rajasthan and Parts of Pakistan,as per Brihat Samhitha of Varaha Mihira. The Invaders evidently came through these routes.

Apart from the above two dynasties, Delhi was ruled by Ghori, Khilji and Tughlaq Dynasties.Mohammad Ghori did not have any offsprings and the dynasty did not last after Ghori.Slave dynasty came to Power.Later on Khilji and Tughlaq dynastyies ruled.All these were powerful families which settled in India from the time of Ghaznavid rule. Shershah Suri who defeated Humayun too was the Governor of Bengal before he ruled Delhi.Nadir Shah came defeated the Delhi Sultan and went back but did not establish his empire.

In the recent times we know that Osama Bin Laden who organised the attack on  Twin Towers in New york, USA,sifted through all the way from Tora Bora in Afghanistan to Abbottabad in Pakistan which is just some 250 Kms from Srinagar in Jammu Kashmir.He seems to follow the Pluto's trail!!! Pluto entered Sagittarius in January 2006 and is still currently transiting Sagittarius in the constellation of Poorvashadha.

Dhari Devi's Displacement Reason for Uttarakhand Floods

In continuation to my earlier post on the Uttarakhand floods about the astrological factors which caused the devastating floods, i would like to make another important observation in the same context .So much has been said and written about  shifting of the Idol of Dhari devi just before the flash floods in Uttarakhand.Below is a link to the news brief about the issue:

Uttarakhand floods: Dhari Devi’s wrath – myth or reality

The Idol is said to be shifted from its original place on a small island in the Alkananda river to an elevated location close to its original position to avoid it being submerged in waters due to construction of a Hydal Power Project in the area.It is said there was lightening followed by heavy rain and cloud burst just after the idol is shifted.

The temple of Dhari devi (a manifestation of Kali devi) is said to be one of the Shakti Peethas and is believed to be the guardian diety of  Uttarakhand.Shifting of the idol surely is the cause of  cloud burst and floods.

In my earlier post  When Lord Shiva Lets loose the Ganga i made an observation that in the Trimsamsa chart on the day,  Retrograde Neptune being conjunct with Retrograde Pluto and Saturn over the Galactic centre, in the constellation of Moola which is lorded over by Niritti, the Goddess who delivers curses of Gods.The conjunction indicates the wrath of  supreme powers resulting in the event.

When Lord Shiva Lets loose the Ganga

340 mm of rain fall on the 15th June,2013,375% higher than the normal monsoon rainfall caused the divine river Ganga and its tributaries to flood  the state of Uttarakhand.About 60,000 people are stranded at various holy places and thousands are missing till date and many declared dead. Nothing was left behind at the Kedarnath temple area apart from the holy shrine.Many hotels,building,bridges and roadways collapsed across the state.Following is a writeup on the floods and the damage caused on wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_North_India_floods

On a study of the astrological factors which contributed to the devastation we can see Neptune and Saturn playing a significant role in the event. All the airy signs Gemini,Libra and Aquarius are afflicted currently. Gemini is afflicted by the presence of an Atichara Jupiter who is in a multi planetary conjunction with Mercury,Venus and Sun.Libra is afflicted with a Retrograde Saturn and Rahu conjunction.Saturn which is conjunct with Neptune in both Trimsamsa and Khavedamsa Charts is about to turn direct within a few days.

In addition following are the contributing factors : 

1.In the Rasi Chart,Neptune, the God of waters, is currently transiting in the constellation of Satabhisha.,in the sign of Aquarius,which is an airy sign.

Rahu is the lord of Satabhisha and  presiding deity of the constellation is Varuna.

This combination of an airy sign and Neptune is the trigger for the storm.

In addition to this, Neptune, who is transiting satabhisha as said above, has turned retrograde on the 5th of June.
Retrogression of Neptune in the star lorded over by  Rahu shows strong karmic forces in action which were long overdue.
Neptune placed as above in the Rasi chart is supported by explosive formations in the Trimsamsa and Khavedamsa.

2.In the Trimsamsa chart for 15th June, we can see Retrograde Neptune conjunct with Retrograde Pluto and Retrograde Saturn over the Galactic centre. If we observe the longitudes in the Trimsamsa chart both Neptune and Saturn being retrograde are in the constellation of Moola.Which is lorded over by Niritti,the goddess who delivers the curses of  Gods.

3.In the Khavedamsa chart for the day, we can see both Neptune and Saturn being conjunct in the Watery sign of Cancer.

4.Most importantly,the Constellation of Satabhisha where Retrograde Neptune is transiting,signifies North Indian regions of Kailash,Tibet,Himachal Pradesh as per Brihat Samhitha of Varahamihira.

Human intervention with the nature by way of diverting several rivers and tributaries to fuel many hydro power plants and rapid deforestation in the name of development should have caused the supreme Lord shiva to let loose the Ganga without stopping it !!!

Agatha Christie's horoscope - Some observations

Agatha Christie is a prolific and most famous writer of stories and plays whose main themes revolve around murder mysteries,Thrillers,Crime fiction,Detective investigations and romances.

According to the Guiness book of world records,Agatha Christie is the best selling novelist of all time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatha_Christie

Astrodata bank gives her birth data and the link to the data is here in below: http://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Christie,_Agatha

Horoscope chart prepared based on the data given in the site is given here :

On a study of her chart we can find some very peculiar combinations which correlate to her thinking and creativity revolving around murder mysteries and Crime fictions.  

For analysing the writing skills of any native, placement of Mercury, its strength and the planets influencing the third house are studied in detail for coming to a conclusion.Mercury is the significator of all literary men.

In Agatha Christie's chart , Mercury surely played a very  significant role. Firstly, Mercury is the Third and 12th lord placed in the Third house.While the Third House shows ones writing skills the Twelth house shows the innerself of the native.

In her chart the Ascendant is placed in the constellation lorded over by Mecury. And Mercury in turn is in the constellation of Moon, the ascendant lord.This placement of Ascendant and Mercury is one factor which made her a writer.

Along with writing skills any writer should obviously have creative talents to write the kind of stories Christie has written.Creative abilities in any chart are seen from the 5 th house from the natal ascendant.

In Christie's chart, Scorpio is the Fifth house from the natal ascendant and has Ketu in it. Scorpio significantly is the Eigth house of the natural zodiac which signifies mysteries and being the 5 th house   (house of intelligence)  from the natal ascendant in Christie's chart and having Ketu in it (which signifies assassins and behind the scene activities ) gave the flavour of mystery to her thinking.

Ketu significantly is in the star of Mercury and Rahu who aspects the fifth house is in the star of Mars,the fifth lord, adding up to her creative talents.Both Rahu and ketu are in exaltation by placement.

In addition to this, the Fifth house is aspected by a retrograde Pluto and retrograde Neptune.Pluto signifies assasinations,conspiracies and Neptune is again the significator of Mysteries.These aspects over her Fifth house of intelligence, have influenced her thinking and presenting about the murder mystery themes.Moreover both Pluto and Neptune are in the constellation lorded over by Moon, the Karaka/significator for Mind.!!!

Will Narendra Modi be the Next Prime Minister of India ????

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narendra_Modi

http://www.astrosage.com/celebrity-horoscope/narendra-modi-birth-chart.asp

http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-06-10/india/39872296_1_bjp-leadership-rajnath-singh-bjp-poll-panel

As a preparatory step to project Narendra Modi as the Prime ministerial candidate in the 2014 general elections,BJP on Sunday appointed him as the chairman of the party's election commission.Above given are the links to the news of his appointment and write ups about his life and rise to power. On a study of his chart prepared for the time given on the astro sage site (link of which has been given above) we can see the following :

Mars the ascendant lord  placed in  Scorpio ascendant with a BAV Score of 6 is forming a very powerful Ruchaka Maha Purusha Yoga making him a natural,enterprising and bold leader.This placement of Mars in the lagna is the main contributor for his rise to Power.

Moon his 9th lord too is placed in the Ascendant,conjunct the Ascendant lord Mars,who  cancels the debilitation of Moon.Moon has a BAV score of 5 and is a very strong benefic in this chart.In addition to the above there are two more powerful yogas in his chart which caused him to be the Chief Minister :

Rahu in his chart is the Amatya Karaka and is placed in the 5th house of power and following and is in opposition to the 10th Lord Sun. Amatya Karaka placed in a Kona results in making him a Famous Minister and Amatya Karaka related to the 10th lord by being in Opposition gives him a very powerful Raja Sambandha Yoga.

Sun the 10th lord of Status and Profession  is very well placed in the chart by being in a friendly sign of Virgo which happens to be the 11th house of gains from the Ascendant.Sun is also conjunct the 11th lord and is very strong in Shadbala and ashtakavarga bala.Every aspect explained above caused him to become the Chief Minister of Gujarat for four times Consecutively.Involvement of Rahu/Ketu with the 10th lord shows that he is destined for higher positions.

 

He was first inducted as the Chief Minister of Gujart in October 2001 when he was running the dasa of Venus-Saturn.While Venus is placed in his 10th house of Status and Profession , Saturn is in his 11th house close to his 10th lord,resulting in his elevation to the Chief Minister ship. In addition to the Dasa/Antardasa running,peculiarly, Rahu and Jupiter who were in conjunction at that time were aspecting  the Dasama Aroodha(A10) in  Libra.

At the time of General elections next year around 31st May,2014 :

1.Exalted Saturn would be transiting  close to his Rajya Saham at 0 Sc 11 and would be transiting over the saham shortly signifying the start of a new phase.

2.Jupiter has come a full circle from 2001 and would be closely aspecting   A10(at 3 Li)  at the time of General elections next year as he has done in 2001 when Narendra Modi has first become the chief minister and would be forming a trine in the coming months to the Rajya Saham.

3.Rahu who is forming the Raja Yogas described above would  be transiting closely to the A10. 

In addition to this, he would be running the Dasa and Antar Dasa of  Moon-Rahu.Moon is the 9th lord and Rahu the Fourth Lord ,placed in the Fifth house of Power and following in addition to forming Yogas described above. 

To Conclude,the above transits over his A10 and Rajya Saham and the dasa and antar dasas definitely show an elevation to a higher position of the Prime Minister ship.  But before that the low SAV Score of 17 in Libra ,which happens to be his 12th house from Natal Ascendant and Moon and  where Saturn is right now transiting in conjunction to Rahu would be bringing in some turbulence.He might have to face  threats from foreign terror outfits which he should be alert about.

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 : 

 http://horasarvam.blogspot.in/2012/04/study-of-planetary-alignments-and.htm 

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.
