Aam Aadmi Party

Started on 26 th November,2012,the Chart of AAP shows features very characteristic of its way of functioning what we are seeing now.
First is the placement of Mars - Pluto combination in the Sagittarius ascendant.This gives the outfit a very impulsive nature and violent too

Second is the Sun- Rahu in the 12 th house to the ascendant.This combination makes the party act against the authorities always. Both the afore said combinations denote danger to the main leaders. Both the above combinations may cause the outfit to tread into a self destructive path.
 

 Third is the placement of Saturn-Venus-Mercury in the 11th house,which results in dubious associations,like the one which it has now with the Congress.This placement of the Saturn in the 11th house also results in wealth acquisition by questionable means. The party would be funded by Congress in the coming elections to stop BJP in UP,Rajasthan and Gujarat.

Fifth house of Followers is significantly weak and importantly, the on coming transit of Saturn is too weak. The rise to power and fame of the party may only be a bubble and as per me, the party's effectiveness would only be till November this year and after that when Saturn transits over the Natal Sun in the chart the party may be dissolved altogether.

Jiddu Krishnamurthy a spiritual revolutionary - an astrological perspective

Born into a Telugu Brahmin family in Madanapalle,Andhra Pradesh,Sri Jiddu Krishna Murthy became a well known speaker and writer on Philosohical and spiritual subjects.He was born on May 12th, 1895 at about 12.23 am.A write up on his life and achievements has been given on the wikipedia at the below link:

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

He wrote books like 'The First and Last Freedom','The Only revolution' and the Krishnamurthi's notebook. He claimed allegiance to no nationality,religion,caste or philosophy.His ideas were quite revolutionary at his time. 

Above given is the vedic chart prepared as per his birth details.

On a study of his chart we can see the following placements and configurations of planets which caused him to be a philosophist World Teacher:

Ascendant is placed in Capricorn.The lord of the sign, Saturn is placed in Libra his exaltation sign which is the 10 th house from his Ascendant.This placement of Saturn forms a Powerful Sasa Mahapurusha Yoga.It is this Yoga which resulted in his world wide fame as a spiritualist.The  yoga made him a wanderer physically and also psychologically in search of truth .The Saturn so placed in Libra, is conjunct 'Uranus',the planet of altruism and revolution. Uranus is the planet which brings about drastic changes in age old practices and beliefs.

Fourth house is the one which signifies the state of mind and thought process of the native. The conjunction of Saturn-Uranus aspecting his fourth house and the exalted Sun placed in the house is the chief causative factor of his revolutionary way of spiritual thinking,beliefs and also his writings. This is very evident from the names of his books  'The First and the Last Freedom' and 'The Only Revolution'.

Sun's placement in his exaltation sign in Aries in his fourth house shows his exalted state of mind from birth and is the reason behind him being identified as one with an amazing aura around him by the Clairvoyant Theosophist Charles Webster Leadbeater.

The placement of Uranus in the 10 th house in conjunction with Saturn, the planet of detachment and in opposition to the natural/naisargika Atma Karaka Sun , induced in him, a continuous and progressive spiritual evolution which caused him to say "I maintain that truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. That is my point of view, and I adhere to that absolutely and unconditionally. Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or coerce people along a particular path. ... This is no magnificent deed, becaause I do not want followers, and I mean this. The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth. I am not concerned whether you pay attention to what I say or not. I want to do a certain thing in the world and I am going to do it with unwavering concentration. I am concerning myself with only one essential thing: to set man free. I desire to free him from all cages, from all fears, and not to found religions, new sects, nor to establish new theories and new philosophies".  

His continuous spiritual evolution made him drift away from the basic ideologies of the Theosophical society,and there by distanced him from Annie Beasant and Charles Leadbeater his mentors from child hood and led him to eventually dissolve 'The Order of the Star',an organisation which was formed by the Theosophical society. Uranus in his 10 th house  spurred him to make all efforts to break free from every kind of limitation and brought about a strong tendency in him  to be independant and unconventional in his endeavors.

Moon in the 12 th house in his chart, in the constellation of Moola,indicates a mystical ability and an interest in spirituality.The moon in his chart is aspected by Saturn, the planet of detachment. In 1922, Sri Krishna Murthy had a life altering experience which he describes as a mystical union, during which he experiences a state of 'Otherness'. He continued having this experience all through his life thereafter.

Saturn's aspect over his Moon and also Sun in his chart forms a Dasee Prabhava Yoga and shows him to be the son of a servant maid or influenced by her as per Sambhu hora prakasika.In this context it was Annie Beasant who adopted him on behalf of the Theosophical society. Sri Krishna Murthy considered Annie Beasant as his surrogate mother as he was trained under her supervision.

Placement of Saturn, the lagna Lord in a Kendra and aspected by Jupiter results in a powerful Chamara Yoga,which is the reason of his eloquence.

Neptune,the planet of divine mysticism and  Pluto, the planet of regeneration and transformation in  conjunction in the 5 th house of creative intelligence and procreation  gave him an understanding of the mystical world which is beyond the course of a single human life and Mercury ,the planet of communications, conjunct with the Neptune-Pluto here, gave Sri Krishna Murthy an uncanny ability to communicate easily, the ideas of mystical or other worldly flavour.

Warren Buffet's horoscope - Some Observations

Warren Buffet is widely considered as the most successful investor of the 20th century.He is one of the top wealthiest men in the world with his net worth in 2013 estimated to be about 59 million.Here is the link to the wikipedia writeup about him:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett

He is born on 30th of August 1930 at 3.00 pm in Omaha City of Nebraska State, United States of America.The Birth data is rated with an 'A' on the astro data bank website.Here is a link to the writeup on astro data bank site about him : http://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Buffett,_Warren_E.

His chart prepared as per the birth details given on the astro data bank site is given adjacently.The chart shows placement of Ninth lord of fortune in the Ninth house,Tenth lord of status,fame and success in the Tenth house and the Eleventh lord of Gains and friends in the Eleventh house. These placements of planets in their own houses are sure the cause of  his abundant success in his business of investing. Apart from these factors we can also see the Naisargika Dhanakaraka Jupiter being the lagna lord aspecting the Sagittarius Ascendant.Retrograde Saturn being the Second lord of wealth is placed in the Ascendant and is aspected by Jupiter.

Jupiter,the Lagna Lord and also being the Dhana karaka happens to be placed in the Labha Aroodha(A11),in the sign Gemini. Significantly,Rahu being the Atmakaraka is in the sign Aries which happens to be the 11th from A11.Jupiter in the A11 resulted in his knowing where to invest and when to invest.

Mars,the Navamsa dispositor of the 10th lord Mercury is in a parivartana Yoga with Jupiter,the lagna lord.
By virtue of being the 5th lord of Investments and also 12th lord of Charities in the Rasi chart,and by dispositing Mercury the 10 th lord in Navamsa,Mars caused Buffet to take Investing as his profession and at the end donate a very large part of it to charities.Significantly,Mercury is also conjunct the Lagna Lord Jupiter in the Navamsa.

In 2006,he announced that 85% of his fortune would be donated to Gates foundation,started by Bill Gates the most famous Microsoft chief.

In Warren Buffet's chart we can see the 11th lord Venus in rasi sandhi at 0 Li 46 and is closely conjunct Ketu the planet which signifies detachment.He made the announcement of donation in 2006,in the Rahu-Jupiter period.

On Saturn's short term transit from 9th February,2014 till 24th March

Saturn temporarily enters Scorpio around 9th February and will be transiting the sign for 43 days before turning retrograde on March 2 nd and returns to Libra on the 24th March. This transit would be a kind of trailer of the events that would happen in two and half years starting October 23 rd 2014.So watch out for the slight changes in the pattern of events in all aspects of your life in the mentioned time frame.

On a mundane level,Saturn hovering over the signs Libra(Vayu Tatwa) and Scorpio(Jala Tatwa) would bring about unseasonal storms and increase in seismic activity.

Saturn would be transiting the constellation of Visakha which represents Goa,Karnataka and Western Maharashtra.

The Chinese,The Tanganas(People living north of Sarayu river),Trigarthas(People of Punjab),everything of bright red or crimson,saffron colour will suffer.

Dr.Manmohan Singh's Horoscope - Some Observations

This is the chart of Dr.Manmohan Singh Prime minister of India.His birth details are given on the astrosage web site.On a study of his chart we can see four planets Moon,Mercury,Saturn and Rahu in their own signs resulting in his high success and becoming the Prime Minister of the country.

The conjunction of Mercury and Sun in his 10 th house of Status,Profession and authority is forming a Sreenatha Yoga which is another reason of his reaching to the top position. This yoga is said to confer power equal to that of Indra on the native.He became the Prime minister on the 22nd May 2004 when he was running Rahu-Mercury.Both planets are benefics in his chart as afore said.

There are some negative aspects in his chart :
1.Mercury which is forming the Sreenatha Yoga as said above is 'Combust'.

2.His ascendant lord Jupiter is placed in his 9th house Leo which is owned by Sun,the King among planets but is conjunct the Rahu/Ketu axis.This conjunction results in a Guru Chandala Yoga which results in the native associating with lowly people though he is very righteous.

3.Moon in his chart while placed in his own sign is in opposition to Retrograde Saturn.As per Sambhu Hora Prakasika, this results in a yoga which is ironically named as DAASEE PRABHAAVA YOGA.This yoga results in the native being influenced by a servent maid

While benefic placements of planets have made him Prime Minister of the country, negativity associated with the planets which are forming strong power conferring yogas might have made him alllegedly a remotely controlled Prime Minister of the Country

The Saturn - Mars Mutual aspect and Discovering the Great Canyon of Greenland

Two days back on the 30th of August, Scientists have announced discovering a Great Canyon under the thick Ice sheet of Greenland.The discovery was made by NASA's technologically advanced radars. The Canyon has been estimated to be longer than the Grand Canyon of USA and is about 800 Kms in length  and 2600 feet deep at some places.Links briefing about the discovery have been given herein:1.Greenland's Great Canyon 2.Radars find a Canyon longer than the Grand Canyon 

A canyon is a deep gorge/valley flanked on both sides by mountains and with a river flowing through it like the one found in North America.

Apart from the spurt in confrontations between world countries on the issue of Syria and escalation in other forms of violence, i feel, discovery of the Great Canyon in Green land, beneath the ice cover is one more event resulting due to the ongoing mutual aspect of Mars -  Saturn and the Saturn's conjunction with Rahu.Mars, currently is in the watery sign of Cancer in debilitation and is aspected by Saturn from Libra.Mars as we know is the Bhoomi karaka and signifies all that which pertains to land. Saturn on the other hand is the planet of restriction and obstruction and by this nature is the karaka for formation of Ice. While all of water on the earth is signified by Moon,  ice is formed only due to the Saturnine influence on water. All the areas which are covered by ice like the North  and South Poles and in this context Greenland can be said to be under the influence of Saturn as they are covered by thick ice layer.

Saturn's aspect over the watery sign of Cancer signifies an area with Icy surface and presence of Mars in the sign shows the land beneath the said surface.Conjunction of Rahu with Saturn signifies previously unknown knowledge as Rahu is the significator of mysteries and Saturn signifies secrets.

Jupiter's Transit of Gemini - Trigger for Indian Economic reforms and liberalisation

 In the wake of continuous deflation of the Indian rupee in recent times, i wanted to study the astrological factors which may have contributed to the fall in the rupee value at present and also in the history of Independant India using the Indian Independance chart erected for 15th August 1947. Jupiter in the Independance chart is the 8th and 11th lord and his transit of Gemini is for sure bringing upheavals in the Indian economy not only in the current times but also in the past. A writeup on the Indian Economic reforms and liberalisation is on the Wikipedia site. The link is given herein : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_liberalisation_in_India . As per the Writeup, economic reforms were attempted in India earlier in 1966,1985 and then in 1991. The earlier two attempts were unsuccessful and were reversed within short time. But the reforms made in 1991 were successful.

In 1966,Jupiter was transiting the Sign Gemini. Gemini in the Indian Independance chart has an SAV score of only 19 out of 56. In the year Rupee was devalued by the Government under extraordinary conditions,when foreign aid was cut off by USA and other developed countries.In 1985,Jupiter was transiting the sign Capricorn which is his debilitation sign and with an SAV Score of 20 out of 56.In this year economic reforms were initiated by Rajiv Gandhi but were stopped in the year 1987.
Jupiter is the Natural/Naisargika Dhana Karaka along with being the lord of Gains(11th lord) and also of impediments(8th lord) in the Indian context and his transit of the signs with lowest Bindus in the SAV chart is surely triggering economic upheavals which result in the corrective economic reforms and liberalisation.Also Gemini is the Second house of wealth from Taurus ascendant.

In 1978,when Jupiter was again transiting in Gemini, it is around the period when the growth in GDP was very less at 3.5% and less than that of Pakistan and other third world countries 

In 1990,the economy was again in doldrums with the country unable to pay up for the balance of payments and has mortgaged the 'Gold' reserves(Gold is signified by Jupiter) of the country to bail out from the crisis.In the year Jupiter was again transiting the sign Gemini and in the year 1991 July economic reforms were brought in by the then Sri PV Narasimha Rao led Congress government. 

The next transit of Jupiter in Gemini was in the year 2001 and the trend was broken when a strong Saturn with a BAV of 7 out 8 was transiting the sign Taurus which is the ascendant of India having an SAV of 44 out of 56 which is undoubtedly an exceptionally strong transit of Saturn.This transit resulted in the economy growing leaps and bounds during this transit of Saturn and bypassed the negative effects of Jupiter's transit in Gemini at that time.

Now again in 2013,Jupiter is transiting in the Sign Gemini from  the end of May this year and is causing the current economic crisis. This crisis would surely trigger another phase in the economic reforms/liberalisation in the coming year when Jupiter transits in the sign Cancer,which is his exaltation sign.

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.
