Predictions of World

Events By

Joni Patry, USA

strology is about timing. It

is the study of space and

time based on the cycles and

patterns of the planets in relation to

human behaviour and world events.

Many have asked me to work on the

prediction of world events, but the

inspiration came from a very special Vedic

astrologer in Varanasi, India. He said I

must make world predictions, which I am

so respectfully following his suggestion.

There are no coincidences and my meeting

with this man of great wisdom and the

information that has come through recently

is very humbling.

All astrologers are alerted to the current

eclipses about to take place this year. The

May 9th solar eclipse is conjunct Mars

opposed Saturn. The fact that this eclipse

occurs in Aries concerns astrologers all the

more for this is the sign of war.

Many past events occurred

A

concerning war and nuclear war when Saturn conjoined Rahu. Saturn and Rahu come together

every 11 years. Each time there was an outbreak of war and contention concerning hostility

bringing forth world events with social upheaval.

1945: Saturn conjunct Rahu in Gemini, Bombing of Hiroshima

1956: Saturn conjunct Rahu in Scorpio, Civil rights amendment, pandemic kills 4 million

1968: Saturn conjunct Rahu in Pisces, Assassinations of Martin Luther King JR and Robert

Kennedy, Viet Nam War, My Lai massacre

1979: Saturn conjunct Rahu in Leo, Iran revolution, oil crises, US embassy in Teheran held

hostages (movie Argo)

1991: Saturn conjunct Rahu in Capricorn, Gulf war (Dessert Storm), Los Angeles Riots,

assassination of Rajiv Gandhi in India

2002: Saturn conjunct Rahu in Taurus, Iraq war, Bombing in Bali, reporter Daniel Pearl

murdered

And now we have Saturn conjunct Rahu in Libra, the last time Saturn conjoined Rahu in Libra

was 1865, Lincoln was assassinated and the Civil War peaked and ended.

So what can we expect this year of 2013 with Saturn conjunct Rahu in Libra? There will

definitely be a crises involving war, possibly nuclear war.

With the onset of North Korea making threats of nuclear war I began looking at the charts of

this violent country. The way in which we make our predictions is to look to the birth charts

of each country to focalize where and when these attacks are to be predicted.

I predicted the earthquake of Japan BEFORE it happened. Many astrologers claim predictive

power after the events, which is useless information. I have a Japanese website I make

predictions for monthly and study the birth chart of Japan.

The chart that Vedic astrologers always analyze when looking at a birth chart is the

Navamsha.

* The birth chart will be referred to as the rashi or natal chart in this article.

Many western astrologers cannot understand how to incorporate this chart into a reading. It

can be viewed like the western progressed chart because the navamsha chart is what we

become in our life. Even though it is not a chart that is progressing or changing it is said to be

the second part of life. It is the 9th division of the birth chart.

The navamsha chart (D-9) divides the 30-degree sign into nine parts of 3.20 degrees each. This

is the most important divisional chart of all and Vedic astrologers automatically compare this

chart to the rashi (birth chart) to determine the results of a person’s life.

The navamsha chart is called the fruit of the tree. It reveals the future outcome of a person’s

life, promising to manifest the potential in the rashi chart (birth chart). We seem to become the

navamsha chart as we grow older. These are the issues of the ninth house, the house of luck,

fortune and spiritual pursuits. If a planet is in the same sign in both the rashi and the

navamsha it is vargottama, meaning it gains strength and is a more powerful planet in the

rashi. Some also refer to the navamsha as the spouse who is the mirror of yourself.

To calculate the navamsha of a planet the first 3.20 degrees begin with the first quality

(cardinal, fixed, mutable) of the element the planet is in, then the following divisions continue

with the zodiac signs in order regardless of quality or element. For example, if Venus is 10

degrees of Scorpio in the rashi, the first navamsha will be Cancer (the cardinal sign of the

same element), the second navamsha will be Leo, the third Virgo, the fourth Libra, the fifth

Scorpio, the sixth Sagittarius, the seventh Capricorn, the eighth Aquarius, and the ninth

navamsha is Pisces. Because Venus was in the fourth division (by nine) of its rashi sign,

Venus falls in the fourth navamsha of Libra here. So each 30 degree sign is divided into 9

portions each 3.20 degrees, beginning with the cardinal sign of that sign of that element

continuing in the natural order of the zodiac.

Prediction of Major Events for Japan

ooking at the birth chart of Japan and analyzing the major events the patterns and

cycles give proof of this powerful technique for prediction. Events to be analyzed are

the Bombing of Hiroshima and the earthquake of March 11, 2011. These extreme events

affected Japan changing the country forever.

L

In the birth chart for Japan the ascendant is 15 degrees Scorpio and Ketu is very close to this

degree at 19 degrees of Scorpio. Saturn in the navamsha is 19 degrees of Scorpio. When there

are points where planets converge on the same degree from the birth chart to the navamsha

this point becomes extremely sensitive as the transiting planets cross over this degree.

Events occur when transiting planets aspect these sensitive points particularly the conjunction

or opposition.

The degree mark to be noted is 19 degrees Scorpio for big events to occur concerning Japan’s

welfare. When transits hit this degree an event is possible but when the navamsha of the

transiting planets hit this point as well you are able to predict with certainty an event.

Transits: Transits For Bombing of Hiroshima, Japan

These 2 charts are the transits the day the US attacked Japan, dropping the atom bomb on

Hiroshima. The first chart is the transiting planets on that day and the 2nd chart is the

navamsha positions of the transiting planets. Comparing all 4 charts is important and when

there are planets that hit the same point in all these charts a prediction concerning the planets

involved indicate an event.

In reference to this 15 and 19 degree mark from the birth chart and navamsha birth chart we

have exact hits for this fated day. Transiting Mars was 15 degrees of Taurus indicating a

possible attack but the truly significant indicator concerns the navamsha positions of the

transiting planets. In the navamsha of the transits both Saturn and Mars together oppose the

ascendant degree and natal Ketu. Saturn is 15 degrees and Mars is 19 degrees exact from the

natal ascendant and Ketu. Saturn is 19 degrees Taurus in the natal navamsha chart. When

these sensitive degrees are activated by the transiting planets and the navamsha transiting

positions an event will occur.

It must be noted that these sensitive degrees will be aspected by transits on a regular bases but when the

navamsha positions align with these degrees at the same time this is the timing of events.

This event had a grave effect on the US as well. Comparing the chart of the US as to this

event there are the same effects evident as well.

The birth chart and the navamsha chart have certain sensitive points to be watched. Natal

Mars is 0 degree Gemini (see chart on next page) and Ketu is 1 degree Gemini in the navamsha

so 0-1 degree Gemini is a sensitive point, and Jupiter in the birth chart is 15 degrees Gemini

while Uranus is 13 degrees Gemini in the navamsha. On the day the US attacked Japan

transiting Rahu was exactly conjunct natal Jupiter and transiting navamsha Pluto is opposed

natal Mars. Transiting navamsha Sun is exactly opposed the natal US Sun.

Birth Chart for USA

An understanding of the planetary energies is essential. The planets and their meanings are

significant in determining events. Malefic planets cause problems. Mars and Saturn create

war and attacks. Rahu and Ketu determine fated events.

It is when the transiting planets and the transiting navamsha planets align with the sensitive

points (points where both natal and navamsha planets aspect) that a major prediction can be

made.

The earthquake of March 11, 2011 was the biggest earthquake to hit Japan at a magnitude of 9.0

triggering tsunami waves that caused widespread death and destruction, and nuclear

meltdowns at a power plant in Fukushima.

Transits of the day the earthquake hit Japan

Navamsha of the Transits of the Earthquake

The planet that can trigger earthquakes is Neptune. As the god of the oceans, tsunamis are the

utmost destructive force occurring at the time of most earthquakes. Therefore, Neptune is the

planet I find most important for earthquakes. Most look for Uranus.

Comparing the charts of Japan during this colossal earthquake Neptune was at 16 degrees of

Scorpio in the navamsha transits, which conjuncts the birth chart ascendant for Japan, and the

transiting navamsha Sun is conjunct the natal navamsha Neptune.

On the surface transiting Mars 19 degrees of Aquarius was at the midpoint of natal Rahu and

Ketu 19 degrees Taurus/ Scorpio, but this aspect occurs every 2 years and a earthquake of this

magnitude doesn’t occur every 2 years.

Other points to be assessed are transiting navamsha for Saturn has returned to the natal

position of 15 degrees of Cancer.

The transit of a slow moving planet such as Neptune and its navamsha position both

transiting and natal is most important because its impact is more powerful and rare. The other

faster moving planets indicate the exact day as to the timing of a long-standing transit that

moves very slow and stays in a position for a long duration.

To prove Neptune’s connection with earthquakes we must look to the San Francisco

Earthquake of 1906.

USA Birth Chart

Transits to San Francisco Earthquake of 1906

Navamsha Transits of San Francisco Earthquake

The 1906 earthquake was the worst earthquake to hit the US. The most significant aspect of

this event concerns the transiting aspects of Neptune, Uranus and Mercury. They are all 15

degrees in a T-square to each other. Neptune is 15 degrees of Gemini directly conjunct natal

Jupiter. Uranus is opposed natal Jupiter, and Mercury is square natal Jupiter. Neptune and

Uranus move very slow so this aspect stays in effect for a very long time therefore the timing

revolves around the Navamsha positions of the transits.

Note that in the natal navamsha Jupiter is 17 degrees of Aquarius, Saturn in the transit chart is

18 degrees of Aquarius while Neptune is 17 degrees Aquarius in the navamsha transiting

planets. Also Mars is 4 degrees Capricorn in the transiting navamsha opposed the natal

Mercury in the 8th house. Plus Pluto in the transiting navamsha is 16 degrees of Virgo filling in

the missing point of all the quadrants completing a grand mutable square of the previous

transits where Neptune, Uranus and Mercury are 15 degrees of the mutable signs Gemini,

Sagittarius and Pisces. They all aspect natal Jupiter in the birth chart. Jupiter rules the 4th

house of the homeland.

Attack on America The aspects analyzed for the worse attack in American history, September 11th 2001.

The most significant transiting planets involve Mars and Ketu on the ascendant of the US

natal chart, while transiting Jupiter and Rahu are on the US natal Jupiter. Furthermore, in the

birth navamsha chart Ketu is conjunct natal Mars. In the natal navamsha chart the Moon is 5

degrees Sagittarius close to Rahu at 1 degree Sagittarius. These planets were all activated with

both the transiting planets and navamsha transits. Transiting navamsha Mars is directly

opposing the natal ascendant and transiting Mars and Ketu conjuncts the ascendant. Notice

also transiting navamsha Ketu is on the US Sun, Ketu 23 Gemini and Sun 22 Gemini. This was

a very sad day in American history. The deep loss and sorrow, is absolutely seen and predicted

in this analysis.

Applying these tools we can now make future predictions using the birth chart, navamsha

birth chart and the transits and navamsha transits. Many powerful aspects within all these

charts can predict an event. Here is my analysis for the rest of this eventful year 2013.

The year of 2013 is full of extreme aspects that promote anger, hostility and war. Mars and the

Sun are travelling together neck and neck in the sign of Aries. Aries is the sign of war. The

Sun is in Aries every year during April and May, no wonder so many tragedies occur during

this time, Oklahoma City bombing, Columbine school shooting, VA Tech massacre, Waco

tragedy with David Koresh, assassinations of Lincoln, Martin Luther King JR and Osama Bin

Laden, and now the bombing of the Boston Marathon.

On April 15th Mars and the Sun were conjunct in Aries. But to look at the navamsha as well

gives a clearer indication of the war like events that are playing out now. And there is more to

come for this is one the most intense times in history.

Boston Marathan Bombing

The entire time Mars and Sun are in Aries is a critical time for threats of war and destruction

in the world. The Sun and Mars are also conjunct in declination intensifying the threat of

attack and war. This extends from April-May.

This is the year of war and destruction for Saturn and Rahu have joined together in Libra and

the Sun, Mars and Ketu are together opposing in Aries. As the solar eclipse nears on May 9th

radical events will occur.

Also during this year transiting Uranus and Pluto are in exact square throughout this year at 15

degrees aspecting the US natal Jupiter. This point has been in effect during most major

destructive periods for the US. We know this is the year of destruction and attack for the US.

But the exact timing of these events comes with the comparison of the transits relative to the

navamsha throughout this critical year.

Threat of Nuclear War with North and South Korea

Comparing these charts there are a number of days that prove dangerous throughout this fated

year based on transits and their navamsha positions:

North Korea and South Korea

South Korea

When do I foresee further events for destruction?

Days that are dangerous for the US based on US chart and Navamsha chart compared to the

transiting planets and their transiting navamsha positions.

Days to be watched for the US: US birth chart, navamsha birth chart, applying transits and

navamsha transits

June

June 6-10: Transiting navamsha Mars conjunct Rahu in Aries opposed Jupiter Ketu in Libra,

conjunct US navamsha Sun/Pluto opposed navamsha Mars

June 15-19: Transiting navamsha Mars in Gemini conjunct the US natal 7th house stellium of

planets

July4-August 18: is most volatile for attack around terrorism while transiting Mars is with

Jupiter in Gemini transiting the US 7th house where natal Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Sun

reside.

July

July 4-9: Transiting Mars will enter Gemini (conjunct the US natal Mars) transiting

navamsha Mars conjunct Ketu in Libra. Very volatile for the US

July 14-18 Transiting navamsha Mars conjunct Uranus in Sagittarius opposition to US 7th

house stellium of planets

July 17-18 (Uranus turns Retrograde)

July 28 Transiting Mars conjunct US natal Jupiter

July 29-Aug 2: Transiting navamsha Mars conjunct Rahu in Pisces (4th house of US) Attacks

to land or earthquakes

August and September are worse for Earth Quakes: End of August early September

August

August 2: Transiting navamsha Mars conjunct Rahu

August 7: Transiting Mars conjunct US natal Sun and Transiting Jupiter conjunct natal

Jupiter

August 14: Mars opposed Uranus, Transiting Mars and Jupiter in US 7th house

August 24: Transiting navamsha Mars, Pluto, and Ketu conjunct in in Leo, and transiting

navamsha Uranus conjunct Neptune in Sagittarius

September

September 6: Transiting navamsha Sun conjunct Mars in Libra conjunct US navamsha Mars,

transiting navamsha Rahu and Saturn conjunct in Aquarius conjunct US natal Moon

September 13-14: Transiting navamsha Saturn conjunct Rahu in Aquarius, Mars conjunct

Uranus and Neptune in Sagittarius

September 25-29: Transiting Navamsha Mars/Saturn/Rahu conjunct in Aquarius opposed

Pluto/Ketu in Leo

October

October 16-21: Transiting navamsha Mars in Gemini

October27: Transiting Navamsha Mars, Ketu, Pluto in Leo

November 2013-September 2014: Time of extreme social uprisings

November

November 3: Solar Eclipse 17 degrees Libra with Saturn

November 8: Mars opposed Saturn in navamsha

And if you think that 2013 was violent then prepare for more because 2014 will continue with

more violence because Mars will enter Libra February 5, 2014 and will become retrograde

conjoined Saturn till September 4, 2014.

February-March 2014 indicate a serious violent attack possibly on the US Government causing

an extreme social uprising. Transiting Mars, Saturn and Rahu are conjunct in Libra.
