Saturnine Equinox?

An Equinox is the movement of planets around its star, and its subsequent alignment with the star such that they are exactly face to face with each other. In a broader sense, it is the date when a Star is vertically above the Equator of its planet.

In our solar system, at an equinox, the Sun is at one of two opposite points on the celestial sphere where the celestial equator and ecliptic intersect. These points of intersection are called equinoctial points. During this time, the days and nights in the planet are of equal duration. With respect to the Earth, an equinox occurs twice a year, occurring around March 20/21 and September 22/23 each year.

Saturn's spin axis is tilted almost 27 degrees relative to its orbital plane. Its orbital period, one Saturn year, is almost 30 Earth years long. This means Saturn's equinox, when the Sun is directly over its equator happens once every 15 years. The next equinox will take place on August 11, 2009.

Astronomical Wonder

During Saturn's 2009 equinox, Saturn's rings will be viewed edge-on from Earth. They will barely be visible to telescopes stationed on our planet. They will completely disappear! When you look at Saturn through any telescope on earth, you can view the Saturn's day side and the sunlit part of its rings". The rings gradually start getting thicker after the equinox.

The War

On August 11, 2009, Saturn and the Sun will be facing each other and looking into each other eye-to-eye. The Sun and Saturn's unstoppable war will reach a new landmark.

The curly haired Sun with majestic looks, and his brightness reduced in intensity, would be standing insecurely. The steady and courageous look would not be present. He will be standing in his Vyayasthana, or the house of loss, depressed and not knowing what to do.

Saturn on the other hand will be standing tall, his chest filled with pride in Leo, the house of the Sun. Saturn would have conquered the fort of his father who is standing in the Vyayasthana. Saturn will be viewing his own house Aquarius, which he owns.

The upper hand of Saturn will also lead to a lot of changes across the world.

In Indian horoscope, Transit Saturn will be in the 2nd house from Moon, while the Sun would be in Rasi itself. The liquor industry will be the major beneficiary, along with oil and motor companies. The weak position of the Sun is suggestive of a disturbance in the political environment. India might lose an elderly and experienced politician. Saturn's control will give rise to increased protests against government. There will be trouble and irritation in the working committee. Discontent in the labor force cannot be ruled out. The government will have a better time after Saturn moves out of Leo.

The Sun and Saturn in the 7th and 8th house in their transit from Natal Moon show a different story for USA. A high profile crime is likely to be committed during this time. Further, the 7th house transit of the Sun will disturb America's ties with a few countries, especially with those situated to the East of America. Indications show that other countries will hold USA accountable for a variety of reasons including new labor laws.
