Editor’s Note

Dear Readers,

The impact of the COVID-19 crisis has just begun to reveal itself. The pandemic is raging a threat beyond all boundaries, medically and e c o n o m i c a l l y. D e v e l o p i n g countries like India have fewer and harder choices to make to combat the widespread. For those living with hand to mouth resources, it will mean starvation.

As the governments, institutions, and experts from all fields are leaving no stone unturned to arrive at all possible cure and remedies, even the astrologers worldwide are doing deep study and analysis of the entire catastrophe.

I am reminded of a Verse from Rig Veda – Mandala 8. The verse is given below –

This verse is a part of the hymns for Lord Indra. Indra governs all our Indriyas – or faculties that help us sense, observe and recognize the various events and happenings around us. These include the eyes, the nose, the ears, the tongue, the touch etc.

The verse essentially tells us that if there exists a time in our life when Amata – disease where we are unprepared, Kshudha – death or sickness that is caused due to circumstances that are beyond human capabilities and Abhishasta – spreading of falsehood or rumors, then the best response to handle this carefully would be to use a) Chitraya – self quarantine b) Dhiya – use your own wisdom while consuming information i.e.

don’t blindly believe in what is being told but use your common sense and intelligence to infer, and c) Shiksha – self discipline.

During the times of Coronavirus, let’s use this verse as Gospel and fight together this pandemic.

In these turbulent times, we want to spread positivity and offer remedial measures in all forms. Author Nirupama brings to you the power of reciting Vishnu Sahasranama and the various benefits it brings to us. The article is sourced from the English translation of the book on Vishnu Sahasranama by the internationally well-known Dr. Arulamallige Parthasarathy. It is a wonderful process and mechanism that each one of us should practice every day for ourselves and for our family.

�व ंनो अ�या अमते�त �धो३ऽिभश�तेरव �पिध । �व ंु ृन ऊती तव िच�या िधया िश�ा शिच� गातिवत ॥ु ्

THE ASTROLOGICAL eMAGAZINEMay 20203

On a similar note, I feel fortunate to have Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar to share his views about the difficult times. He emphasizes that our resilience during these challenging times will be tested not only by how we combat the spread of the Virus but also how we make the best out of the circumstance. Very aptly he brings attention to the ancient philosophy of yoga where a great deal of emphasis was given to cleanliness.

In this issue, we like to present some in-depth Astrological perspectives and analysis of COVID-19. We have Ashutosh Chawla, who throws light on Moola Nakshatra and its impact on the Grahas. Since the beginning of November 2019, with Deva Guru Brihaspati entering Dhanus rasi, which was already hosting Ketu and Shani for a very long time, got activated with the double transit of Guru and Shanidev. This period indicated the beginning of some calamity. Within a couple of days from Surya Grahana, a few cases of coronavirus were registered in China and on 31st Dec 2019, Transition of these Grahas and Grahana in Moola nakshatra indicates that there has been some adharma and himsa happening, that’s why Nriti (calamity) is awakened. On top of this, Ketu moved to Moola Nakshatra by mid of January. The results of which we are facing now.

In another such analysis by Prof. N. S Murthy, he throws light on the effects due to solar and lunar eclipses and the wrath faced because of the Vikari Nama Samvathsara, which began in April 2019 to March 2020.

On the positive note, the author also informs us about the aftereffects of Sarvari Naama Samvatsara which begins from March 2020 to April 2021 that should bring in some cheer, wealth, economic growth and even good health. The article also ends with a detailed analysis of horoscopes.

We also share with you a rare analysis done by R S Maniam, where he attempts to analyze the COVID-19 outbreak using the horoscope of the Republic of China as the birth chart of the nation, with 1/10/1949 as the primary chart. The chart of the Republic of China has Capricorn rising and Lagna and Moon fall in the same sign. Most significant in the chart is the current transit of Saturn over the rising sign of China and the Natal Moon that certainly depicts the disaster that is happening now. The author goes on to also explain the association of the word Corona with Sun.

In another article by H. Ramadas Rao, he explores the astrological perspective of the pandemic from the lens of Naadi Astrology principles. He provides an in-depth

study and analysis of planetary positions at various junctures with a detailed chart analysis.

In another article, Mr. Harold Singh investigates the role of the planets - Mars, Saturn and Rahu and the 8th house from Rahu during the onset of major epidemics involving more than 100,000 fatalities over the last 120 years. It is an intriguing study and strangely we see the involvement of Mars, Saturn and Rahu and the 8th house from Rahu. It seems more than a coincidence.

The cover story of this edition, is on the transit of Mars in Capricorn. Mars, the planet of energy, action and power began its transit in Capricorn on March 20, 2020, and it’s going to stay there till May 2, 2020. During this transit, Mars begins with Uttarashada Nakshatra, entering on March 15, and will remain there for the rest of March. It then moves to Sravana Nakshatra on April 3 and then to Dhanishta Nakshatra on April 23. When Mars is in Capricorn, it behaves in a certain way. Read on to get an in-depth understanding of Mars and what happens when it is in Capricorn, along with its impact with respect to each rasi (moon sign).

We want to conclude on a positive note and wish all the readers safety and health.

Happy reading to you all.

We Shall OvercomeSpecial Message from His

Holiness Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

COVID-19

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (born 13 May 1956) founded the Art of Living Foundation in 1981, a volunteer-based NGO providing social support to the people. In 1997, he established a Geneva-based charity, the International Association for Human Values, an NGO that engages in relief work and rural development.

According to Gurudev, as he is fondly referred to, says science and spirituality are linked and compatible, both springing from the urge to know. The question, "Who am I?" leads to spirituality; the question, "What is this?" leads to science. Emphasizing that joy is only available in the present moment, his stated vision is to create a world free of stress and violence. His programs are said to offer practical tools to help accomplish this. He sees breath as the link between body and mind, and a tool to relax the m i n d , e m p h a s i z i n g t h e i m p o r t a n c e o f b o t h meditation/spiritual practice and service to others.

The Coronavirus Pandemic has created a global crisis with far-reaching social, economic and spiritual repercussions. Our resilience during these challenging times will be tested not only by how we combat the spread of the Virus but also how we make the best out of the circumstance. While it is important to take this pandemic seriously and act responsibly it is definitely not the time to panic.

Beating the Virus requires collective action. It’s imperative that everyone follows the rules like staying clean, washing the hands frequently, maintaining social distance etc. Initially, they might appear challenging, but they aren’t hard to practice. If you observe, these mannerisms have been part of many traditional cultures.

The ancient philosophy of Yoga lays a great deal of emphasis on cleanliness, not only of the b o d y b u t a l s o o f t h e m i n d a n d t h e surroundings. The first personal ethics of Yoga or Niyama is about cleanliness or Saucha. Saucha, as enunciated in the Yoga Sutras of Maharishi Patanjali, advocates purity and cleanliness as a key foundation for yogic life.

Saucha in its deeper sense also includes avoiding unnecessary physical contact and intimacy. The self-discipline of eating healthy and chemical-free food which keeps us clean from within is complementary to Saucha.

It also includes the discipline to sleep enough, to work out, to meditate and the like, anything that leads to purification of our system.

Making asanas, pranayamas and meditation an integral part of lifestyle can go a long way in boosting one’s immunity and keeping the Coronavirus at bay.

growth and self-renewal. Many great works of the world have emerged out of solitude.

Meditate more and use this forced solitude to improve your mental strength, creativity, empathy, and productivity. Now that you are getting to spend more time with your family members, listen to t h e m . Ta l k l e s s a n d a v o i d arguments.

So far, India has done extremely well in combating the spread of Coronavirus, but there is a lot more to do. During catastrophic events, people must care for and share with each other. The haves should resort to some austerity and spend the savings on those who are in dire needs. I urge all those who can afford, to take a pay cut and form endowments to take care of daily wage earners and low-income groups in their areas so that the economic burden is shared by society locally. Let’s reassure ourselves and others that there is enough humanity to take care of everyone.

This is a temporary phase of uncertainty. Mankind has fought against and prevailed over such threats before. We have overcome epidemics like SARS, Swine flu and bubonic plague in the past. Be

assured that we will overcome this one too. I request everyone to desist f rom c i rcu la t ing unfounded information about the pandemic. While we need to be informed of what is happening, do not get obsessed with Corona. Endless TV debates and mindless social media shares could add to the uncertainty and cause an upsurge of anxiety and panic.

The Coronavirus is a catastrophe for the world, but it doesn’t have to mean the Apocalypse.

Despite the dark clouds of gloom, silver linings are emerging bright enough to bring hope. This is what we need to focus on. The stories of birds chirping again in Wuhan or skies and water bodies clearing up as people stay indoors or people opening up their hearts to provide solace to those who are in need might not immediately compensate the losses brought about by the novel pandemic, but they do come as lasting reassurances of the good for the human race. For sure, this crisis will also leave the population more sensitized about cleanliness, personal hygiene and healthy ways of life.

Time indeed is the great healer. Let’s give Time, time with patience, courage and compassion.

T h e m o s t i m p o r t a n t contribution we can make during these tumultuous times is to isolate ourselves to reduce the possibilities of contracting and transmitting the virus. Stay indoors, avoid travelling and going to public gatherings or community feasts. I would recommend even avoiding congregational prayers and rituals.

Meditation and mental prayers are far superior and much more effective than rituals. Take the imposed social distancing or self-quarantine as an opportunity to slow down and go inward. It offers you space and time to focus on yourself, to reflect and reset your roles and goals. It is also an excuse to break the monotonous pattern of fast-paced life and indulge in some right-brain activities like creative writing, cooking, music, painting or learning a language. It’s the time to move beyond the scenery and find the lost seer. It’s also the time to strike a balance between rest and activity. One who is always in rest doesn't progress in life and one who is always in activity misses the bliss of deep rest.

Soc i a l d i s t anc ing i s no t a punishment. Silence and solitude are a potent means for personal

About Mars – Kuja, Mangala

Let us first understand the characteristics of Mars. Mars is popularly known as “Commander-in-Chief” as it is the planet that brings in a lot of energy and command. As per Vaastu, its direction is South. Mars denotes multiple traits and attributes. For your better understanding, I have classified its traits into 4 broad categories as shown below.

Capricorn is the 10th house of the zodiac, which is owned by Saturn. Capricorn fundamentally denotes hard work and security, which can be about personal security, family security, societal security and national Security.

What happens when Mars is in Capricorn?

When Mars is in Capricorn, it

behaves in a certain way. Firstly, it

becomes exalted and auspicious in

Capricorn. You will automatically

see a rise in theindustrial activity in

the world. Humans and even

f r iend of Mars. The Devata of

Uttarashada is Vishwa Devata, which

you will see that a certain mix of energies get radiated from Uttarashada and Mars, driving high amount of creativity. Therefore, I suggest it is the best time to indulge in learning new skills and indulge in creative activities. You can also be a bit adventurous. However, this is not the right time to be adventurous due to COVID-19.

When Mars moves to S ravana Nakshatra on April 3, which denotes ‘learning through listening’. Ruler of Sravana is moon, who is again a friend of Mars and Devata is Vishnu – The preserving force. The direction of this Nakshatra North. Mars again will be a u s p i c i o u s d u r i n g t h i s t i m e . Uttarashada and Sravana overlay with another Nakshatra called Abhijit Nakshatra. This nakshatra denotes victory, which means the larger good is achieved at the end, and the rate of achievement during this time is quite high.

Mars then moves to Dhanishta Nakshatra on April 23. Dhanistha denotes wealth and is ruled by Mars himself. The Nakshatra Devata is The Eight Vasus (Ministers of Indra), who help in fulfilling desires. These Eight Vasus are - Prithvi Deva, Agni Deva, Vayu Deva, Varuna Deva, Dhaupitru D e v a , S u r y a / A d i t y a D e v a , Chandra/Soma Deva and Nakshatra Deva. There is natural tendency to create and acquire wealth during this time. The direction is East for this nakshatra.

Coronavirus Pandemic and Cure The Role of Nakshatras

COVID-19

Hails from a traditional spiritual family of Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Ashutosh started to learn astrology at age of 16 from his father and first Guru of Astrology Sri Laxmi Narayan ji. Later his Jyotish Guru Late Sri Jai Gopal Bohra ji took him under his guidance and started to teach him as per tradition

With natural inclination towards spirituality from a very early age, he led a very satvik and spiritual lifestyle while working in corporate. Highly inspired by the philosophy of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam- One world family”, in the year 2011 he decides to devote his life in service of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar ji and HIS Mission, and joined Art of living International Center in Bangalore as full time dedicated Sevak and continued his Spiritual and Jyotish Sadhana there. Ashutosh is also an Art of Living faculty member and teaches various programs such as Vedic Wisdom, Vedic Jyotish, Upanayanam, Happiness Program, Youth Leader Training Progam, and Art of Living Yoga Level 1.

Ashutosh Chawla

The Nakshatra that is ruled by the Nriti the Goddess of calamities is Moola Nakshatra, and any major movements of slow moving Grahas in Moola Nakshatra is always an alarm from nature to fasten our seatbelts and prepare for a bumpy ride ahead.

Since the beginning of November 2019, with Deva Guru Brihaspati entering Dhanu Rasi, which was already hosting Ketu and Shani for a very long time, got activated with the double transit of Guru and Shanidev. This period indicated the beginning of some calamity. And we have started witnessing protests, riots, wildfire, war like situations in some of the countries across the globe.

To add fuel to this already burning fire Surya Grahana happened in Moola Nakshtra.

With this potent Surya Grahana happening in Moola Nakshatra, many astrologers predicted that, as an aftereffect there will be challenges for the coming three months till the Samvatsar changes or till Brihaspati moves to Makara Rasi.

Within couple of days from Surya Grahana a few cases of Corona virus were registered in China and on 31st Dec 2019, WHO announced a warning against the deadly virus as science did not have any cure for it.

Any Grahana, as we all know increases the toxicity on planet Earth, the contamination increases and that’s why certain precautions and practices are recommended during Grahana time. Since the Surya Grahana happened in Moola Nakshatra, which was a l r eady ac t iva t ed by Jup i t e r, t he contamination turned into Nriti (Calamity).

Here if we take Puranic reference of Devi Nriti, she is the daughter of Adharma (unrighteousness) and Himsa (violence).

Transition of these Grahas and Grahana in Moola nakshatra indicates that there has been some Adharma and Himsa happening, that’s why Nriti (calamity) is awakened.

It is also very interesting to know that children of Nriti are Bhaya (fear) and Mrityu (death). That’s what Nriti gives birth to, and the whole world is witnessing it.

So, coming back to Grahana, whenever a Grahana happens, toxicity is born and this toxicity or poison is removed by Chandra (Soma) when it returns to the same sign or aspects the sign. However, nature had some other plan, this time the next Purnima (full moon) was a lunar eclipse and before Chandra could transit the same sign again, Ketu moved to Moola Nakshatra by mid of January.

Now Ketu in Moola Nakshatra, its own Nakshatra has always indicated the awakening of Nriti or arrival of some calamity. Last t i m e K e t u t r a n s i t e d M o o l a Nakshatra it had Kuja’s energy accompanying it, which was an indication of a calamity coming out for fire or violence, and world experienced 9/11 disaster in the US. This time Ketu had toxins/virus created by Grahana in Moola Nakshatra. This was the indication of an epidemic or pandemic.

Ketu and Rahu axis does a very interesting job here. Ketu is like absorber, it absorbs all the poison that was created during Grahana and transmits it to Rahu, which in turn spreads it all over the world. If we note the dates, this started to happen when Ketu moved into

Moola Nakshatra. That’s when first death by coronavirus and first i n t e rna t i ona l i n f ec t i on was reported. Until then it was limited only to China.

Now if we are thinking that if Ketu in Moola Nakshatra and Rahu in Ardra will keep spreading this disease, this looks like a long wait. But the good news here is, with Saturn Moving into Capricorn the whole world has awakened against the disease and started observing ce r t a in d i sc ip l ine o f soc ia l distancing and solitude. With Jupiter also entering into Makara by end of March, it will cause the double transit and will activate the second house - the Makara from Dhanu Rasi, indicating destruction of all the poison created during Grahana.

This movement of Jupiter should bring some good news in terms of finding a cure for this disease, of course the testing of cure will take some time, so within couple of weeks from Jupiter’s transit to Makara we can expect some relief.

issues i.e. worshipping lord Vishnu in Shaligrama. As Shaligrama worshipping involves certain specific rituals, those who

are learned in it can only perform, but for rest of us listening to the chants of Vishnu Sahasranamam shall also create a protective shield around us and our family from the disease.

On top of all, if one can do daily Agnihotras, that shall also keep such viruses away from our home.

I hope this small analysis of pandemic and remedies help all of us and our families to stay healthy and protected.

Mars in Capricorn

Though it does indicate some relief, however we must remain extremely cautious till Rahu is in Ardra i.e. middle of May and with Ketu moving out of Moola, things should get back to normal i.e. by end of September.

Until then it is advised to pray to the Devata of Ardra Nakshatra - Bhagwan Rudra by listening to the chants of Sri Rudram, and Adhidevata of Ketu - Lord G a n a p a t i , b y l i s t e n i n g t o Ganapati Atharva Shirsham.

Puranas give an extremely good remedy for Moola nakshatra related

From Natural zodiac, when we take tatvas from Mesha Rasi which is Agni Tatva, Vrishabha Rasi is Pritvi Tatva, Mithuna Rasi is Vayu Tatva which is also a Dwiswabhava (duel personality) Rasi gives good results as well as bad results.

Rahu is the lord of venom posited in Vayu Tatva Rasi which is a Moolatrikona Rasi for Rahu. He becomes much stronger when who moves on Aridra, Mrigashira and Rohini Nakshatra. Since, Rahu is posited in Vayu Tatva the venom moves in the air. Rahu has started giving bad effects from March 2019 up to September 2020.

Rahu produces sorrows, difficulties, urge towards unethical conduct, f o w l t o n g u e , f a l l a c i o u s - misleading/deception and the entire world will collapse.

The concentrated venom/ virus moves in the air which contaminates the atmosphere, destruction and mostly cheating behavior.

Disease in lungs, difficulty faced by doctors to diagnose the symptoms of the disease.

Disease due to poisoning, ailment of eyes and difficulty in breathing.

The diseases associated or caused by Budha who is the Mithuna Rasiadipati and Vayu Tatvadipati – disease in chest, neck, nose and eyes, lungs infection, pneumonia, respira tory complaints ( l ike asthma), many organ failures, also creates lot of confusion while diagnosing the disease and nervous breakdown.

Guru aspects Rahu, posited in Dwiswabhava Rasi, which leads to

enhancement of chronic problems. Guru gives infection in kidney, lung diseases and enhances the current problems.

Ketu is posited in Dhanur Rasi, which also gives rise to trouble in lungs, eye ailments, diseases from unknown causes, phlegmatic and nervous breakdown.

In this horoscope, the problem will come more from the Islamic countries (Dubai, Iran,) since it is ruled by Rahu and from the Christian countries (Italy, America, United Kingdom, Spain, Germany) as they are ruled by Ketu. In India, the government has passed a Jammu and Kashmir bill in August 2019 Citizenship amendment bill was passed in December 2019.

A mass gathering was conducted in New Delhi by the Islamic group – Shaheen Bagh protest against CAA - was destructive to the public property and many deaths occurred.

Another mass gathering was conducted again in New Delhi between 11th to 13th March 2020 which has enhanced the fear as well as the spread of the Corona Virus. All these problems are happening only due to the positioning of Rahu in Dwiswabhava Rasi.

When we consider the natural zodiac of 13th March 2020, the 6th house rules the mass sickness where, 6th lord Mangala is exalted and posited in Makara Rasi which is his 4th aspect on 6th rashi (roga, ripu, runa).

When Surya comes to 6th house on 13th April 2020 at 9:25pm he becomes exalted but unfortunately, he has entered the 6th house. 6th house being the diseases, enmity and increase in liability. Surya is the

lord of medicines and posited in the 6th house indicates that the treating the diseases will take longer time.

But the government will overcome all strong problems which they face in this period.

The Miraculous Health Benefits of Vishnu Sahasranama

REMEDIES

Nirupama

This write up is sourced from the English translation of the book on Vishnu Sahasranama by the internationally well-known Dr. Arulamallige Parthasarathy for his scholarship and erudition in different aspects of Indian Culture. With the Coronavirus pandemic creating a scare all over the world, we felt that the recitation/hearing/understanding of Vishnu Sahasranama can work out as a kavacha or an armor against not only the Covid-19 but also the thousands of viruses that are there all over us all around the globe, without our being aware of it.

Before we understand the power of Vishnu Sahasranama, we should first talk about Dr. Aralumallige Parthasarathy. He has widely travelled and written many books on Indian Culture. Though his specialization is in Dasa Sahitya, he has extensive knowledge of different facets of our culture. His books on assorted subjects of Vedic wisdom make very interesting reading. He has lec tured on Ramayana , Bhagavata , Bhagavad Gi ta , Vishnu Sahasranama.Haridasa Sahitya and many of these are available on audio cassettes and CDs. He has received many awards and laurels from across the world for his encyclopedic knowledge and wisdom.

As a member of the Karnataka Sahitya Academy from 1992 to 1995 and as a member of the TTD Dasa Sahitya Project from 1986 to 1996, his contribution has been immense and notable. Dr. Parthasarathy has arranged Samuhika Parayana (mass recital) of Vishnu Sahasranama across the world.

Vishnu Sahasranama is one of the most well-known and cherished chants. The glories of Lord Vishnu are expounded. The book tells us that the regular chanting of Vishnu Sahasranama strengthens the mind power and thought currents. Continuous chanting, the author says, can become a form of meditation. Chanting or listening to Vishnu Sahasranama removes fear, anxiety, tensions and

turmoil of life. One gets clarity and confidence in whatever he does. It gives better character and conviction. It has the power to remove sickness and disease. It makes the dull student bright and the pessimist, an optimist. Anger, jealousy, avarice and impure thoughts are removed. Saint Madhavacharya, in an assembly of scholars, is said to have told them, while every vedic word has three

meanings, evey nama in Vishnu Sahasranama is said to have 100 meanings. It is interesting to note that Charaka Samhita too mentions that the daily recital of Vishnu Sahasranama cures all maladies and prevents future health problems.

Certain Vishnu Sahasranama slokas are said to cure specific ailments of the body. Let us see some of them.

Why Coronavirus Began in China?

COVID-19

R S Maniam

The world is shocked by the outbreak of the epidemic which began in China. The fear has escalated as it is being declared as a global pandemic. It is a major outbreak of disease on large scale after SARS that started in China in late November 2002.

We can attempt to analyze the outbreak using the horoscope of Republic of China as birth chart of the nation, with 1/10/1949 as the primary chart. Since the COVID-19 outbreak began in late November and December 2020, we can use the lunar chart to establish a celestial link to the fearing disease. We can use the Vikari Margashirsha lunar chart which began on 26/11/2019 at 23: 06 taking Beijing as capital of China and followed by Lunar chart of Vikari Pusya which began on 26/12/2019 at 13:13 hrs. To support some findings, Solar ingress into Aries for 2019 can be used too.

What does the lunar chart of Vikari Margashirsha indicate?

The Chart has Leo rising, with Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Ketu in the 5th house. The worst malefic for Leo Lagna, Saturn afflicting the 5th house of Purva punya. It also has the affliction of Ketu. Saturn/Ketu association in the 5th house depicts a curse of previous birth and normally causes birth with defects.

Does the Vikari Margashirsha lunar month chart show in Kala Chakra Chart?

The first lunar chart Vikari Margashirsha shows a Kala Chakra, where the planets transit in the direction of Nirutthi and Yama. These directions bring about fear, disaster and death. The direction of Nirutthi depicts the curse of the Gods. The planets a re in cons te l la t ion of Mula and Purvashada. Most of the planets confined to the South and South-west directions which depict curse and sorrowful incidents.

With a string of titles and awards given by different groups for his proficiency in astrology, Jothida Acharya R. S. Maniam had worked as a Medical Enforcement Officer in profession and currently is a clinical instructor and coordinator at Lincoln University College in Malaysia. He has been described by Bhagavan Sri Sathya Saibaba as ‘Divine Astrologer’ and he has been awarded the Nostradamus award in 2010. He has had his spiritual training under Swami Bramma Sri Sivananda, Ponnamaravathi, Puthukottai District in South India. Mr. Maniam, with an experience of over 36 years in the study of astrology, has contributed many articles to various journals on different aspects of mundane astrology. He attributes his initial learning to Dr. B. V. Raman’s books, later having studied under late Mr. Muthuratina Bharathi. He has been honored the title Jothida Acharya, Jothida Gaurau and Jothida Kalamani by various organizations. He has been doing spiritual sadhana at Laksmy Mantralaya being a senior disciple of Swami Bramma Sri Sivananda.

Does the Vikari Pushya Kala Chakra show any direction in special link?

Yes! The lunar month of Vikaari Pusya shows planetary pooling in the direction of North west which is ruled by Vayu, the wind God and it depicts wandering, major shift of place and form of migration. The medical mode of spread of COVID-19 is through air in the form of droplets emitted by the carrier or the diseased person.

What are the astrological findings associated in Republic chart of China?

Republic of China has Capricorn rising and Lagna and Moon falls in the same sign. Most significant in the chart is the current transit of Saturn over the rising sign of China and the Natal Moon. The renowned saint Pulappani has narrated in his stanza "When Moon crosses 12,1, and 2 sign from the natal Moon, one will undergo sickness, bodily ailment, suffering, theft, poverty and wandering and shift of place, theft and loss of dear ones in the family.” Since China has both Natal rising and Moon rising in the same sign of Capricorn, the effect will be double folded.

Does the transit of Saturn have any impact on China?

Yes, when a major earthquake occurred in China on 1/6/1786, where an earthquake struck Sichuan district in China and about 100,000 people died. Saturn was transiting the sign of Capricorn with Rahu. In fact, the COVID - 19 cases started surging after 24/1/2020 when the current transit of Saturn moved to Capricorn sign.

And when SARS was first reported in China, Saturn was transiting the sign o f G e m i n i a t 4 : 0 5 � i n t h e constellation of Margasirsa in retrograde motion too. The first report to public was reported on 16/11/2002. The lunar month of Chitrabanu Kartika started on 5/11/2002 at 4:35hrs. The rising sign of Virgo 21:19� Saturn in the 10th house. In fact, the Kala Chakra position Saturn then was in the direction of Vayu too. It was with Rahu in the direction of Northwest. SARS according to WHO was reported by China on 11/3/2003,

when Saturn in Retrograde joins Rahu in Taurus.

The word Corona is related to the planet Sun. Does the horoscope show any relation?

There is an association of the Sun with lunar southern node Ketu. In the natal chart, retrograde Mercury and Sun joined with Ketu in the 9th house of the Republic. However, eclipse occurred 22 days later in the 10th house from the natal horoscope. The affliction in the 9th house only shows curse of the ancestors and Gods. The recent eclipse, the same lunar southern node occurred on 22/12/2019 in the deadly constellation of Moola which is the 12th house of China. We can take it as the beginning point of the current surge of cases.

Do dirty conditions are associated with epidemic outbreak at Wuhan?

The available literature in astrology about description of a situation, or lost items, description of the thief are d i s c u s s e d b y t h e g r e a t S a i n t Varahamihira in his tretay known as Brihat Jataka. He discussed in the chapter known as Drekana Lakchana,

The Role of Saturn, Mars, Rahu and the Eighth House in Epidemics

COVID-19

This article investigates the role of the planets - Mars, Saturn and Rahu during the onset of major epidemics involving more than 100,000 fatalities over the last 120 years.

Here is the chart over Beijing about Christmas 2019 when the COVID-19 is thought to have begun in Wuhan, China. On 13 January 2020, Mercury, dispositor of Rahu, entered Capricorn to join Saturn when China admitted i t was involved in a pandemic.

The next chart is the situation on 1st April, the time when worldwide awareness of the danger of this Coronavirus rose.

debilitated and would be ruling 7th and 10th house. Jupiter is an expansive planet. In this case, would the role of Jupiter is to cause global expansion or maybe to plant a latent vaccine? Also, it may be noted that at about Christmas, during the onset of COVID-19, Jupiter was conjunct Ketu and the Mahadasha lord was Ketu. Jupiter may not be able to express its benefic na tu re amid a l l t he overpowering malefic influences. I leave the evaluation of Jupiter here to the more learned. Based on these observations I thought I would look back at several epidemics in the past and check the involvement of these specific planets (Rahu, Saturn and Mars) at the outset of the pandemics as well as to observe if the 8th house applies. In all these cases I would treat Rahu as being in the first house.

Mr. Harold Singh

Mr. Harold Singh is a retired Actuary practicing in North America for over 20 years. His last assignment was Chief Actuary and Chief Financial Officer with American Express in San Rafael, California. He has been a student of Vedic Astrology since 2000. He now shares his residence between India and Toronto.

On 29 March 2020, Mars and Saturn were exactly conjunct in Capricorn and conjoined debilitated Jupiter. By this time, it became clear we were in a global pandemic. Also, all

Countries are normally assigned their individual sign as their Ascendant but in this context with us facing a global pandemic, I have felt inclined to use Rahu’s sign as the first house which makes the current MA-SA-JU in the 8th house of serious disease.

The role of benefic Jupiter is not clear. Jupiter is a natural benefic,

THE ASTROLOGICAL eMAGAZINE May 2020 26

In all these previous epidemics we see the involvement of Mars, Saturn and Rahu and the 8th house from Rahu is very much involved. It seems more than a coincidence. In fact, it seems rather compelling that Mars, Saturn and Rahu are very relevant in major pandemics.

SPANISH FLU:

1918-1920 with an estimated 20 to 70 million deaths.

Transit Jan 1, 1918 over Madrid – No CDC or WHO so onset date might be earlier.

Saturn in Cancer is 8th away from Rahu with Mars aspecting Rahu.

the decanate. In this situation the lunar horoscope for the month Vikaari Margashirasa will be more accurate as the new time is calculated. Based on this chart, the lagna rising falls in the first Drekana of Leo at 2:47 Deg.Min. This is the first decanate of Leo described as "A vulture and jackal” seated on a cotton tree, a dog is near, and a man has poor attire (Alan Leo) and dirty ( Chitamabaranatha iyer) lamenting for his parents (Crying, by Nadesa Sasthri). This is quadrap sign which is ruled by animals. Certain things can be deducted at least inductively. Dirty, animals, words like separation form parents, gives a clue that a distress situation has existed. As reported by media the food preparation and eating habits were reported.

Will situation improve?

With planets Venus moving to the sign of exaltation Pisces on 3/2/2020, situation is expected to improve especially when Sun moves into Aquarius on 13/2/2020 when the Sun becomes free from Saturn affliction. Mercury retrogression on 17/2/2020 may slow the situation of recovery. However the transit of Saturn over the natal Moon of Republic of China is main hindrance to the recovery phase.

Any remedial measure suggested as per astrology?

Yes, they should pray to Goddess Nirutthi and Yama. The transmission which is air borne will be reduced if they utter the mantra of Vayu. The best will be to ask for forgiveness from the ancestor. The disease also coincides with Chinese New Year.

Conclusion

The transit of Saturn in the sign of Capricorn has double effect on China as the sign of Magara is lagna and Moon sign. Saturn is maleficent often regarded as planets of sorrows, suffering, old aged people, and handicapped status. He is considered as elder brother to Yama, God of death. Finally, he is considered Air in the panchaboothas. The spread of the Covid-19 Virus through air is the main determinant in the spread of the disease. The statement by Shelley may prove the impact of Saturn

Coronavirus Naadi Astrology Based Analysis

H. Ramadas Rao

H Ramadas Rao was born in 1952 in a traditional Madhva Brahmin family of Kashyapa Maharshi lineage from Surathkal near to Mangalore. Through the Blessings of Shri Raghavendra Swami Ji of Mantralaya, he started learning Jyotish with the books written by Shri B.V. Raman. In 1991, he got a Mantra Diksha from a Shri Vidya Upasaka from Udupi. His interest in Jyotishya increased and he studied Jaimini Jyotishya and later Nadi Jyotishya from Shri R.G. Rao. He regularly writes articles on Nadi Jyotishya on his Facebook page and currently teaching Nadi Jyotish in Surathkal.

By this time many experienced Astrologers have analysed about this deadly disease COVID-19 and gave their expert predictions. Even a young boy of 16 also has predicted almost 7 months before about this disease but it got published very recently. Even the famous Nostradamus has written about this disease in 1551 through his prophesy.

This is only an analysis of this disease as when it started and which planetary combinations have taken part in the formation of this deadly virus and when it may end.

With the Blessings of Guru Shri R. G. Rao, I am going to analyse the present pandemic disease Covid-19 through Naadi Astrology principles.

To start with we must know some basic Karakatwas of planets. Here the most important planet in consideration is Shani whom we consider him for day to day life activities or the Karma of everybody. Ketu is a planet of breaking anything related to Karma. Ketu is also responsible for the formation of deadly viruses when he gets certain planetary configuration. Rahu is the planet of communication or spreading the virus. As he is in Mithuna Rashi, it indicates nose and throat parts of human beings. Dhanus Rashi is the Moola Trikona Rashi of Guru, the Jiva Karaka.

To start with in 2019, Shani was retrograde from 30 /4 /2019 to 18/9/2019. At this time, Shani Retrograde was in Dhanu Rashi and Ketu also was in Dhanu Rashi and both were in Dhanu Rashi ruled by Guru, the Jiva Karaka while Guru was in Keeta Rashi of Vrschika. Shani even though retrograde till 18/9/2019, he lost Graha Yuddha with Ketu on 24/6/2019 and it was decided by Ketu to stop day to day activities ruled by Shani.

COVID-19

Page 31: Began in China?...of the planets - Mars, Saturn and Rahu and the 8th house from Rahu during the onset of major epidemics involving more than 100,000 fatalities over the last 120 years

But the time has to come to take over by Ketu. For 2 days from 16/9/2019 to 18/9/2019, Shani was in Retro-Stambhana. When Shani became direct on 18/9/2019, again he was in Stambhana mode.

So totally Shani was helpless and Ketu, the significator of virus started acting. Now the sign lord of these 2 planets is Guru and was placed in Vrschika Rashi which is a Keeta Rashi lorded by Kuja. Now if we look at the sign lord of Guru, Kuja is with Surya in Simha Rashi on 16th of September which gives a suspicion that some country leader may be involved in this deadly virus production. But Surya was in end of Simha Rashi and next day, he was about to move to Kanya Rashi lorded by Budha. So, this leader wants to involve in a business through which he can control the world. Now on the same day, if we look to Chandra’s position it was in Meena Rashi/Pisces sign ruled by Guru. Thus, Ketu links with Chandra indicating the virus testing was started as Guru, the Jiva Karaka was in trine to Chandra and also he is the sign lord of Ketu + Shani. Also, Budha, the planet of multiplicity was exalted but the time has to come to spread this deadly virus. Please note that all planets are held between Ketu and Rahu forming a perfect Kalamrita Yoga.

As per live science website, the 1st case of known Corona virus was traced back on 17/11/2019.

On this day, Chandra was in Mithuna Rashi along with Rahu and are in trines to Budha (V) + Kuja placed in Tula Rashi and in Dhanus Rashi, we have Guru + Shani + Ketu. This is the perfect combination of planets for virus transmission. Guru has just entered Dhanus Rashi indicating Jiva Karaka. Day to day life Karaka Shani has already crossed Ketu in Dhanus Rashi which indicates Shani has taken the malefic energy of Ketu. Ketu was heading towards Guru, the Jiva Karaka. But it was kept secret as Shukra was in Keeta Rashi of Vrishcika ruled by Kuja.

On 26/12/2019, there was Annular Solar Eclipse and it occurred on Dhanus Rashi, Moola Nakshatra where along with Surya and Chandra, Ketu, Budha, and Guru were also in Moola Nakshatra indicating a dreaded danger to the universe due to Virus outbreak.

Page 32: Began in China?...of the planets - Mars, Saturn and Rahu and the 8th house from Rahu during the onset of major epidemics involving more than 100,000 fatalities over the last 120 years

The above is Ketu Grasta Surya Grahana. In Dhanu Rashi there is a cluster of planets i.e., Surya + Chandra + Budha + Guru + Shani + Ketu. Surya and Chandra indicate eyes and they are afflicted by Ketu as he is coming near to both of them. This means the universe has been made blind by Ketu, the Karaka for Virus. Shani has already crossed Ketu and has started to enter in day to day lives of human beings.

Guru, the Jiva or Prana is running in his own Moola Trikona Sthana to protect himself as Ketu is coming in opposite direction (behind) to swallow him. But during this running of Guru

called Ati Chara, he became afraid or Bheeta and gets in hand of Ketu. This happens between 3/1/2020 and 6/1/2020. So, Guru takes the energy of Ketu further till the end of his Rashi and enters his sign of debilitation, Makara Rashi.

On the day of Solar eclipse, B u d h a , t h e p l a n e t o f multiplication has just entered Dhanu Rashi, so the disease started slowly increasing. On 3/1/2020, Budha got completely afflicted by Ketu as he lost war with Ketu. As he moves very fast (inferior planet), there was an increase in number of patients.

Rahu is a planet of spreading as he is also the sign lord of Mithuna Rashi whose sign lord Budha gets his aspect link. Now Mithuna Rashi indicates right hand but as Rahu was transiting in that sign, the left-handed work has started by some country. So, the increase in number of Virus patients started more and more when Budha came to Dhanu Rashi and gets afflicted by Ketu and Rahu. By January 13, Budha had won war with Shani, the planet of day to day life. So, from this day, there started a huge number of Virus affected patients all over the world.

But the number was not that much. This was because Kuja, the planet of

energy was in Vrishcik Rashi only. He entered Dhanu Rashi on 8th of February, 2020, slowly the number of Virus affected patients started increasing. Between 23 and 24 of February, Kuja lost war with Ketu, so the energy of the human beings affected by Virus has reduced and so Virus took over the charge.

Now Budha, the p lanet o f multiplication has moved to Makara and then to Kumbha Rashi on 31/1/2020 and suddenly the number of patients started increasing as Rahu was in trine to Budha. From 17/2/2020, he became retrograde. This means he started looking at Makara Rashi where Shani is placed, thus interfering more with day to day life of the human beings. Budha became direct on 10/3/2020 and suddenly there was rise in the number of patients and death also. Now he will be entering Meena Rashi, his sign of debilitation on 7/4/2020. He will be leaving this Rashi on 25/4/2020. But he will have a link with Ketu as both Rashis are owned by Guru who is also debilitated. So till he reaches 15 degrees in Meena Rashi, there will be a lot of casualties related to Corona Virus i.e., till 16th of April.

After this date, some medications will start working. Till 14th of April, Surya will be in Meena Rashi which has a link with Ketu,

so Surya also will be afflicted. As a result, cat, tiger etc. may be attacked with Corona virus. This may continue after Surya enters Mesha Rashi on 14/4/2020 when both Rahu and Surya aspect each other. Also, some powerful country king/president/prime minister will be attacked with Corona Virus and the result may be fatal.

From 28/3/2020, Shukra will enter its own Rashi of Vrishabha which will be in trine to Guru + Shani in Makara Rashi. So new types of medicines will be invented along with gain in energy. But he will be retrograde from 13/5/2020 to 25/6/2020. At this time, both Surya and Budha also will be in Vrishabha Rashi and this Shukra is the lord of Lagna of Indian Independence. So, Ayurveda type of medicine will be invented and tested for human beings during this time as Budha is the Karaka for green leaves and medicinal leaves.

On 11/5/2020, Shani becomes re t rograde in Makara Rashi followed by Guru also will become retrograde from 14/5/2020. But both will be in Stambhana state from 4+4 days before and after the date of retrogression has started. Let us look at the chart on 17/5/2020..

THE ASTROLOGICAL eMAGAZINEMay 202031

Here I would like to explain the main purpose of Shani + Guru + Shukra retrogression.

Shukra being in his swakshetra getting retrograde means he gains more strength to stop the fatality of the problems caused by the spread of Corona Virus. Supporting to human day to day life Karaka Shani who also becomes retrograde, so he also becomes more stronger to solve the problems of mankind.

Now let me explain about retrograde Guru who is in Makara Rashi where he is debilitated. He is getting retrograde means he starts looking at the back door of his own powerful house, Dhanus Rashi where he saw the problem maker, destiny breaker Ketu has

started leaving Dhanus Rashi. As retro Guru gets the support of retro Shani + retro Shukra + Budha + Surya, he will start his journey to his powerful Rashi of Dhanus through back door of his Rashi and starts chasing Ketu. He will be entering to Dhanus Rashi on 29/6/2020 and becomes more powerful. This is how Jiva Karaka Guru gets strengthened and with the support of the planets above, will be

able to get rid of Ketu’s mischievous deeds.

Now to end this article, I would like to explain one more chart as below:

In this chart, all planets are in the same Rashis as in previous chart except Budha has moved to his own Rashi of Mithuna and crossed the longitude of Rahu, so has won the war with Rahu and thus Lord Vishnu, the personification of Budha with his

Chakra destroys both Rahu, the Virus spreading planet and Ketu, the Karaka for Virus creator.

On 21/5/2020, Rahu will be leaving Aridra Nakshatra and will enter Mrigashira-4th Pada. Thus, his spreading power will slowly reduce. Budha, then enters its own Rashi of Mithuna on 24/5/2020 and slowly prepares war with Rahu. Also retro Guru will be chasing Ketu from Makara Rashi.

On 29/5/2020, Budha will win the war with Rahu and becomes more stronger to remove the evil effects of both Rahu. Once the virus spreading planet Rahu has lost its powers, it cannot spread virus to anywhere in the Universe. There is one more thing to be written here. On 18/6/2020, Budha who will be in Mithuna Rashi will become retrograde in Punarvasu Nakshatra 1st Pada. This clearly indicates Lord Vishnu (Deity of Budha) will be chasing Rahu from behind. This retrogression of Budha will end on 12/7/2020 and he will be at 11 Degrees 21 minutes of Mithuna Rashi and Rahu will be at 3 Degrees 51 minutes of Mithuna Rashi.

H e r e w h e n B u d h a b e c o m e s retrograde he becomes more stronger to chase Rahu, thus nullifying the malefic effects of Rahu.

Lastly on 29/6/2020, Guru in retrograde motion enters its own Moola Trikona Rashi of Dhanus and

will chase Ketu who will be at 4 Degrees 33 Minutes. This will continue till September 13th when Guru becomes direct. On this date, Ketu will be at 0 Degree 32 Minutes.

So, this clearly indicates even though Budha crosses Rahu’s longitude on 29/5/2020, Guru retrograde when

enters back Dhanus Rashi will become immensely strong to chase Ketu and his malefic effects on earth.

The above analysis is through the blessings of my Guru, Ishta Devatha, Kula Devatha and Naadi Guru Shri R. G. Rao whose Atma has helped me to write this article.

THE ASTROLOGICAL eMAGAZINE May 2020 32

First column gives the English dates and next to it the names of the regional months and dates. The ending moments of Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana are given in the 24 hour clock extending to 30 hours.

Of the Nityayogas, Vishkumbha, Parigha, Vyatipata, Vajra, Vyaghata, Vaidhruthi, Sula, Ganda and Atiganda are generally spurned for auspicious events and they are marked in red in the Panchanga. Vydhruti pervades from 346°40’ to 360° and Vyatipata from 213°20’ to 226°40’ of the sum of the Nirayana longitudes of the Sun and the Moon. Vydhruti and Vyatipata punyakaala are observed on the day when the yogas prevail for 1½ hours or more, when Sraddha is performed by the astute. These two belong to the shannavati -96- Sraddhas ordained for a householder. Considering the astronomical implications, the Sayana Vydhruti and Vyatipata days are also indicated in the Panchanga. The auspicious Amritayoga and Siddhayoga and inauspicious Maranayoga and Prabalarishtayoga come under Amirtaadiyoga scheme and are different from the Nityayogas.

The Karana is the half of the Tithi. They are mainly classified as Sthira - fixed or immovable and Chara or moveable. The Chara Karanas are seven in number and the Sthira are only four. The fixed ones are inauspicious. They are Sakuni, Chatushpada, Naga and Kimsatugna. The seven movable Karanas are in their order, Bava, Baalava, Kaulava, Taitila, Gara, Vanija and Vishti (or Bhadra.) Among the movable Karanas Vishti or Bhadra is considered to be of dreadful. The forbidden Karanas are marked in red for easy identification.

We have most of our religious observances pegged on to the Tithis. Pournamipooja Chandradarisana, Sankataharachaturthi Vrata, Shastivrata, Ekadasi Vrata and Pradosha are specially mentioned in the Panchanga. Pournamipooja is done in the evenings on days the full Moon is prevalent. Chandradarisana is observed on the evening on the day when the crescent Moon appears for the first time in the west after the Amavasya. Chaturthi of the Krishnapaksha or Bahula Chaturthi of every month is known as Sankataharachaturthi. The evenings of Sukla and Krishna Trayodasi days are specially observed as Pradosha Vrata days.
