Flu in India

Having identified the kind of the disease and the origin of the disease astrologically, let us now proceed further to analyze the disease in the Indian scenario. We can analyze these form three angles.

• Mundane ascendant of India – Capricorn.
• The yearly prediction based on Navanayakas
• The prediction based on Tajaka annual progressive chart of the Indian independence chart

Mundane Ascendant (Lagna)

From Capricorn, Gemini becomes the 6th house. The 6th lord was in 4th at the time of Sun’s entry into Aries this year. The disease broke out in India when Mercury, the 6th lord entered the 8th house from Capricorn. The 8th lord Mars in the Solar year chart was casting its 4th aspect on Mercury from Taurus when Mercury entered Leo, the 8th house from the Mundane lagna of India. The lagna lord Saturn was in the 8th house at the time of entry of the 6th lord Mercury. The disease was noticed in India soon after Mercury entered Leo on 30-07-2009.

How is it going to be from that time onwards?

Mercury also happens to be the 9th lord from Capricorn. So when he leaves Leo and enters Virgo on 19-08-2009 he must be able to give some relief. But Martian 4th aspect will see that the disease continues to be prevalent. However the disease will be under control due to Mercury’s transit in the 9th house, in its sign of exaltation.

When Mercury goes retrograde on 07-09-2009 we can expect a spurt in the epidemic because retrogression of Mercury in its exalted sign in Virgo makes it inauspicious. In addition, Saturn also joins Mercury in Virgo from 09-09-09 onwards. The 8th lord and the 6th lord will be conjoined in the 9th house with the 11th lord casting its 4th aspect on them. It is not a good time for the people of India with reference to this disease. Mercury will be shuttling between the 8th house of Leo and the 9th house in September and October 2009. Mercury leaves Virgo once for all on 24-10-2009. Until then this disease will be afflicting Indians.

Seen from the perspective of the world as a whole, times are not yet better in October too. Mercury will be in Libra, the 7th place in the Solar year chart. Here in Libra, Mercury not only joins a debilitated Sun, it is also aspected by Mars. Mercury continues its onward journey to Scorpio on 12-11-2009. Once here, some misfortune still continues in the form of Saturn’s aspect. By the time December dawns, Mercury enters Sagittarius the 9th from the Solar lagna and there will be relief from this epidemic globally. So my contention is in the next few months, till October the impact of epidemic will be there. It will be on the decline only from December onwards.
