Astrology & Vastu

You are a surgeon and going to operate upon a hardcore criminal, proven enemy of the whole humanity. Without your intervention, he will certainly die. In another case, you have to operate upon a most loved and revered saint.

The question is whether there will be any change in your attitude, while operating upon these two very different persons. If you are a true professional, you will handle both the cases in then same manner, but sometimes it becomes very difficult to maintain such a professional integrity.

This dilemma came before me last year when I was analyzing Anna Hazare movement last year.

You might recollect that Anna was arrested last year on August 16 and was in Tihar Jail, Delhi up to August 20. Apparently being an anti corruption movement, all my sympathies and sentiments were with him and his movement.

However, when analyzing his movement professionally from an astrologer’s perspective, I could not allow my sentiments to color my analysis. More difficult thing was to write something not only against the feelings of general public, but also against the showers of predictions from so-called astrologers, without any justification or logic.

My first write up came after the arrest of Anna Hazare on August 16, which can be read at the link:

Although, you can read the same at the above link, for the sake of facilitation I am reproducing the same here-

Anna movement

Tough days ahead for Central government, especially up to September 9. The Govt. should handle Anna Team in a very conscious and restrained way; and try to stretch their negotiations and discussions beyond that date. In the same way, the Anna team should finalize their movement to a logical conclusion by that date; otherwise, they may loose their edge, for all the times to come. This prediction is being made based on only astrological principles, remaining objective to the either side.

I want to draw the attention of the readers to the harsh words, “otherwise, they may loose their edge, for all the times to come.”

Realizing that they are to some extent extreme words, I wanted to justify these words. So another blog dated August 17, 2011, which can be read at the following link-

Anna Hajare's Movement-Astrologer's perspective

In this blog, based on Anna Hazare’s horoscope, I reiterated that,

Currently he is running best period of his life.

Current period, which is conducive to the movement he has undertaken, will last upto 21.10.2011.

He should culminate his movement to a logical conclusion by that period, by all means.

Now, after a year, what you can see is the shadow of the earlier Anna Hazare, going to plunge into the pool of politics.

However, the events have put up the stamp of validity on the Science of Astrology.

Sometimes, you hope that your predictions do not come true. It was a case for me like that. Unfortunately, predictions came true.

At this time, I fondly remember brilliant analysis done by Shri Nitin Kashyap, lecturer at ICAS Delhi on the birth details of Anna Hazare, with the help of Varga guidelines promoted by Shri Shankar Nath Kapoor, President, ICAS International Wing. All the analysis by Shri Nitin Kashyap came true with passage of time.

Wikipedia defines Meteorology as the interdisciplinary scientific study of the atmosphere. In simple terms, this is the science of assessing weather, especially its changes.

Further, you can find Department of Meteorology in every country, who assess weather of that country and informs public for their welfare. India also has such a Department, whose role becomes more important in view of our dependence on Monsoon. Equipped with the power of Super Computers and Satellites, they are supposed to give reasonably accurate forecast about the rains.

Actually, what happens? Just like earlier years, this year also Indian Meteorology Department has issued at least twenty forecasts about the arrival of Monsoon, every time repudiating earlier forecast. No reason that Indian Public takes forecasts made by Meteorology Department, more of a joke instead of taking as  useful and reliable information. We are yet to hear a forecast from this Department, which will actually come into reality.

As far as forecast of monsoon is concerned, there is another competitor of Meteorology Department. This is not a Government Department. Actually, Government has nothing to do with it. This is the Science of Astrology. Many might object the use of word ‘Science’ with Astrology, but what to do? I also want to object using this word with Meteorology, keeping in view their performance.

There is a great tradition of weather forecast in a specific branch of Astrology, called ‘Mundane Astrology’. A lengthy and detailed system, which if followed, is supposed to give you the clear-cut picture of upcoming Monsoon. Monsoon forecasting in the ‘Mundane Astrology’ involves some simple exercises like making and analyzing horoscope at the time of transit of Sun at a particular degree (occurring normally on 21-22 June as per Indian Astrology); and some not so simple exercises like deciding pregnancy of clouds by observing the whole environment daily and noting down even minor changes.

And all this labor for what? Environment of each day decides what will happen exactly after six and half months. Therefore, if you want forecast Monsoon accurately, then you will have to start all this sky gazing at least six and half months back. Whoosh!

Being an Astrologer having acute interest in ‘Mundane Astrology’, but not wanting to make a lot of expenditure on Sun Screen Lotions, I preferred easier options and thought that I may settle with not so accurate predictions.

Since 2002, I am working on the dates for arrival of Monsoon and to my amazement; results were always much much better than those provided by Meteorology Department were. In majority of cases, there was not a variance of more than two days. Even, deadly floods in Kosi River flowing in the Bihar State were clearly predicted.

There is a general allegation against the astrological predictions that they are made in very vague manner, latter to be interpreted in a desirable way. So, what we did this year. My friend, Nadeem Naqvi prepared a press release regarding Monsoon, on the basis of Email sent to him by me. In the Press Release, which was apparently sent to all Media houses, it was clearly earmarked that ‘Monsoon will only arrive after 27^th June’.

What happened really? The great scientists of Meteorology Department had predicted that Monsoon will arrive on 10^th June. Just guess the date of arrival of Monsoon. Whether it arrived on 10^th June, 15^th June, 20^th June or 30^th June? Just guess; make a wild guess.

Actually, Monsoon arrived on 28^th June. Forecast was 100% accurate.  Should I celebrate and laugh? No, actually I am weeping and worried about my contribution as an Indian Citizen, in the billions of Rupees being spent on Meteorology Department. I think they should refund me my share in this expenditure. What is your opinion?

Whether I am reincarnation of Paul, the late octopus; or just borrowed some special powers from that famous Baba, who comes on TV. Nothing like these, I just prepared a horoscope as described above and did  some calculations on the basis of planetary interrelationships and movements; and lo! I got the date. So simple.

The story does not end here. All the media houses, to whom the press release was forwarded, preferred to ignore and overlook above predictions. Had this forecast been made by Meteorology Department after spending billions of Rupees, it would have grabbed Headlines or no one knows, probably it would have made breaking news.

Since forecast was made by an astrologer; since it was based on astrological principles; since not even a penny of Government or public was spent on it; it was not worth even mentioning. Why this hypocrisy on the part of media? Whom they are afraid to?

Now, an information on a serious note. I am working on a Monsoon Forecast Module, which will be able to forecast dates and quantum of Monsoon, initially state wise and at a later stage, city wise. It is my guesstimate that throughout India, at least five hundred astrologers are seriously working on the Monsoon Forecast. I request all these great scientists to come under an umbrella, in the interest of nation and humanity.

This is a mammoth exercise, which will require a lot of time, efforts and money. I also propose that ‘AHWAAN’ (Association for Human Welfare And Awakening the Nation), a Public Charitable Trust, promoted by me, will bear the expenses in preparing such a module, until we are able to get substantial funds from any source.

There is nothing greater than HOPE. So, I am hoping and what about you?

Note: All the dates regarding dates of Monsoon as well as forecast of Meteorology Department have been taken from Times of India/ Hindustan Times Group Publications.  

At the fag end of the year 2011, we are going to see the astrological phenomenon called Total Lunar Eclipse  (पूर्ण चंद्र ग्रहण) on Tenth December’2011.

The Ascendant of the horoscope in question is Cancer, a movable sign; hence results of the Total Lunar Eclipse will be felt very early and in a fast manner. My experience is that impact will be in first three months after the Eclipse. This observation is confirmed by the fact that the Eclipse is falling in First one-third portion of ‘Ratrimaan’.

The ascendant is of initial degrees. One interesting phenomenon, which I have perceived that in case of initial degrees of Ascendant in Eclipse horoscope, some impact to be observed in it may be felt even before the actual eclipse.

As per traditional method of Vedic Mundane Astrology, if we divide the ‘Ratrimaan’ into seven parts, the Eclipse is staring in First part and ending in third part.  Our great seers have predicted that this phenomenon causes trouble to persons residing in forests, seamen and religious persons; On the other hand it will prove beneficial to Bureaucrats and persons dependant on handicrafts.

For analyzing the results of Total Lunar Eclipse, I have relied mainly on Cuspal Chart/ Chalit Kundli/ Bhava Kundli., due to my earlier experiences about the same.

In the Horoscope, Cancer is Lagna, which falls in third house of India’s Horoscope. Exalted lord of third house in India’s Horoscope as well as Lagna Lord of this horoscope is subject of horoscope. Further, third lord of this horoscope as well as tenth lord from third is retrograde, combust as well as afflicted; hence I perceive as well as predict some major shift in the persons who are sitting on the top seat of our neighboring country.

Although not required to mention but I draw attention of the readers that the third house is in Paap  Kartari. Since Total Lunar Eclipse is falling in Taurus, an earthy sign and the position of third house have already been elaborated; we can safely predict quantum jump in the incidents of accidents due to means of transportation along with earthquakes.

Another corollary is that the near future is not good for telecommunication industry.

What is the more matter of worry for me is that despite of control of inflation (already discussed in an earlier blog), I find no respite for the Indian Economy in next three months; of this horoscope,  highly weak, afflicted, posited in sixth house; the same applies for second lord in India’s Horoscope. Lagna Lord is placed in Twelfth House, and tat also afflicted. We should not expect some major fund flow from out of country in next three months.

The most unfortunate prediction is that despite of newly acquired strength (Exalted Saturn in Forth House), the opposition parties will fail to make any significant impact on the National Polity.

As already predicted in an earlier Blog, this is the year of law making for India. But, due to retrograde Sixth Lord as well Ninth Lord, in this Horoscope, many Bills will be presented, represented again and again and many may not see their transformation into an Act at all.

Lagna Lord afflicted in Twelfth house, Tenth Lord in Sixth from it, Tenth House posited by Twelfth Lord from it, I do not find any reason for the increase of status of our PM, rather his Cabinet colleagues may over shine him, it is another thing that I also foresee major problem to one of his Cabinet colleagues.

Another major indication is major defame to or death of a major religious leader.

Some states or even Center may contemplate reservation in jobs for minorities.
