A short overview, monthly reports will follow.

Note: We use the principles of Vedic Astrology and the Sidereal Zodiac.

Solar Eclipses

The 2 Solar eclipses for this year fall in the Nakshatras of Moola and Ardra.  Actually, the Solar eclipse in Moola occurred on the 26^th of December 2019, we take this as the start date for the following predictions.

Moola and Ardra are the most transformative and destructive of all Nakshatras and thus I wanted to do some deep research to find what happened in other years when solar eclipses occurred in these stars.

Indeed, as expected we find many disasters with huge loss of life during those years.

Unfortunately for this year we can predict many natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, super tornadoes, blizzards, record cold spells or heat waves, all with loss of life.  (note that freak weather events are not new, my research went back to 1908, all years with Solar eclipses on this axis had extreme weather events, even an exploding asteroid)

Political bombings of buildings, trains and airplanes is another theme we may see play out again. And, going on past happenings, we may expect some plane crashes and passenger boats sinking.

The influenza season this year could be worse than usual or other outbreaks of infectious disease may happen.

Evacuations and displacement of people for political or environmental reasons can be a real possibility in the coming year. (This is happening in Australia as I write this)

The eclipse in Ardra Nakshatra will take place on the 21^st of June 2020.

Political Shifts.

If we combine the axis of the Solar eclipses, with the Saturn/Pluto conjunction, and with the ingress of Saturn into its own sign of Capricorn (both in January), we could see some major and perhaps unexpected changes in political structures. Monarchs and emperors will abdicate this year. Presidents and political leaders may step down to make space for others, either by force or willingly.

We may well be surprised by changes in the political landscape on par with the dismantling of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin wall in the past. Maybe it will be the EU’s turn these coming years?

The same influences will affect the foundations of the worldwide Economic System.

We will be uprooting the old and outdated, and slowly put new structures in place. The year 2020 seems to be a year of practice dealing with a new situation on many levels. The year after, in 2021, we may actually be better at building these new structures and systems.

On a Personal Level.

Last year has been a year of discontent on a global scale as is clearly visible if we look at all the protest and riots that took place worldwide. If you are not aware of this uprising, it is because as they say: “the revolution will not be televised”. A lot of it was not covered in the main stream news.

On a personal level you may have experienced difficulties and frustrations in some areas of your life last year, many of us did.

Now is an excellent time to get back to basics, back to your roots.

Tune into nature, simplify your life.

Start a spiritual practice, one you have abandoned some years ago perhaps. Start studying for higher education. Tweek your behaviour and your moral attitude. Meditate.

Above all, now, beginning the last week in January, is the time to build new structures in your daily life that are sustainable and in balance with nature. With Jupiter and Ketu in Sagittarius, we can go back to understanding the validity of old knowledge and improve the application of a natural way in many disciplines. Natural building, new economics, efficient energy use based on natural law, re-introduction and fabrication of natural fabrics, better ways of agriculture, nature preservation, natural medicine, re-forestation. You name it, anything you can think of. Pick what you are good at and start inventing better and more natural ways for yourself, humanity, and all life on the planet. If you look at the sign of Sagittarius in your own Vedic birth chart, you will find a clue as to which house in your chart and what part of your life will give you many insights if you take your time for meditation and inner exploration. For where to focus on what to re-invent and built anew look at the sign of Capricorn in your chart.

Astrologically speaking, after a whole year of protest and discontent, now is the time to dive deep, to find your truth in harmony with nature and invent a new way of life, please take advantage of the situation. We are all invited to invent a new wold and a new way of life in the next few years.

This year, 2020, there are frequent changes in the Astro Weather. Look out for monthly updates on this website.

March 6^th 2019

Jyotish, the Science of Light, Vedic Astrology

General Astrological Weather Report for the rest of this year.

The Saturn, Ketu, Pluto conjunction.

Hold on to your hat, this year, from March onward, we see some difficult conjunctions of opposing forces. Transformation and Revolution are on the cards.

Some of us, depending on planetary positions in our birth chart and individual planetary time periods, may be breezing through this coming time, but most of us will be affected psychologically and/or by outward circumstances.

Be patient, stay cool and in the here & now.

The Nodes of the Moon, Rahu and Ketu are about to move sign, into Gemini and Sagittarius respectively. Ketu will travel the sky with Saturn and Pluto for the rest of 2019, which will make for very unexpected situations, past karmic resolutions, tension, hard work and dissatisfaction. Eventually this must lead to revolution and transformation, due to this a lot of the time this year we will have the feeling that we really don’t know what’s going on.

To get a flavour of these conjunctions, think of the chaos of Brexit or the Yellow Vest movement as a little fore runner of events to come.

For all of us, some ingrained habit or some structure we have built for ourselves will be highlighted by dissatisfaction. We will realize that falling back on some of our long familiar patterns or situations does not make us happy or fulfilled. In fact, maintaining these habits will become crucially painful. This painful process is necessary to force the breakdown of the old and outdated, within ourselves and for the world in general. Usually there is no need for change when everything is feeling groovy. But this year will be the game changer.

Change however will be near impossible and not voluntary with Saturn the planet of boundaries and structure involved. Saturn is much better at suffering than at letting go, thus opposing change, stoically bearing the pain and discomfort until the bitter end.

Yeah. Ouch.

Ketu represents our deeds from the past, the things we are familiar with, the safe patterns we fall back on, it even represents past lives. Saturn is the planet of karma and stark reality.  Now we will have to face the reality we have created for ourselves, the result of our past actions. We will realize that we will have to set a new pattern if we are unhappy in certain areas of out lives. A combination of these two planets may bring back people or issues from the past that we are not finished with. Pluto will bring sudden dissolution and transformation. Depending on our individual birth chart we will be confronted with, for example: past lovers, past non-payment of tax, long neglect of home or car maintenance, old enemies we haven’t dealt with properly, old family matters, people from past lives, out-dated ideas and beliefs about ourselves, or long standing wrong habits that may now result in ill health.

Check in what areas in your life you are beginning to feel really uncomfortable, eventually you will be forced to transform these things. This year will initiate the breakdown of the old, resulting in a period of dissatisfaction and uncertainty until a new paradigm will become manifest.

In general, because the conjunctions take place in the sign of Sagittarius, we will see an “en masse” breakdown of religious institutions and a huge realization of dissatisfaction with (moral) authority figures and structures world wide, gurus, judges, institutions and governments included.

This will include a possible change in our own beliefs systems and moral attitudes.

Religious desperadoes trying to hold on, resisting change, may resort to fanaticism and terrorism. Governments authorities counteracting the trend of dissatisfaction may instigate draconian laws.

If we fine tune to Nakshatra level, we find that these planetary conjunctions take place in the Nakshatra of Poorvashada. Poorvashada is ruled by the Apah, Deity of flowing water. Because of this we may see flooding and particularly bursting dams, as the indication is that structures (Saturn) will disintegrate (Ketu), resulting in sudden disaster (Pluto). Saturn the planet of karma will then demand compensation for the resulting damage to life and property.

With Ketu we may see sudden fires too.

Any old and unresolved enmity between nations may flare up, as Poorvashada is the Nakshatra that declares war. For example look at India and Pakistan, who are right now getting very worked up at each other.

Using the energy of Poorvashada to our advantage, we may “declare war” on our own old nasty habits, thus transforming our lives for the better in the long run. As within, so without, as the saying goes. If we want to see change in the world, we need to do the inner work as well. This Nakshatra is very optimistic by nature and good at enjoying the here and now, so lets try to tune into those qualities. As the outcome of the revolution will not become apparent this year, amid the uncertainties we may as well focus on the moment.

These conjunctions in Sagittarius, the sign of inner wisdom and truth, will ensure that meditation and higher learning will serve us well during this time. The spiritual aspects of the Ketu/Saturn combination can give us the determination to set a regular spiritual practice of meditation and contemplation.

Om Namah Shivay & Enjoy.

 

Be Well.   Best Wishes.
