Earth quakers

Current Astro Sky: Saturn in Cancer, Sun in Virgo, Mercury and Jupiter in Libra, Venus in Scorpio, Ketu in Virgo, Mars in Aries, Rahu in Pisces

On 9/15 i wrote about the upcoming Earthquake scare : Any time we have the full or the new Moon there is a heightened risk for seismic activity, this includes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to the force of gravity pulling the Earth from different directions. In particular the eclipise at the beginning of October will have Mercury Jupiter also joined the Sun with Mars and Venus in adjacent yet opposite signs (Libra and Aries) This week and in a couple weeks there is an earthquake risk. These dates are important. 9/18-9/21 and 10/1-10/5.Yet given the benefic nature of the planets right now, I doubt there will be high casualties even if it's a large earthquake. A few things: When i wrote this prediction it was for the "benefic planets right now" - which foretold of seismic activity (and also a hurricane Rita scare) which did not carry high casualties. Yet I should have updated the prediction for when the planets moved (Venus leaving Libra, Jupiter entering Libra, Mercury leaving Virgo, all of this also making Rahu / Ketu more malefic) as an indicaction that any Earthquake predicted later would be devastating.

Compare the Charts below. The South indian Chart is an accurate representation of the sky and the planets around it.

Chart of 9-21 - First we can see how the planets are aligned on opposite sides of the Earth, thus the gravity of these bodies are pulling on it. Every planet except Saturn, (in Cancer, the upper middle right box) is strongly aligned opposite the Earth. On 9/21 a day when i predicted seismic activity, the Moon (who travels very fast and is the closest body to Earth and has a great affect on its weather and seismology) is closely joined Mars, who is close to the Earth. Results: Even though there were many rumblers and shakers during these days, several reported in LA / Peru, there were few casualties - In fact these were the days when hurricane Rita was approaching Texas and many were worrying of more devastation, so the many little earthquakes were unnoticed. There were no causualties because of an exalted Mercury in Virgo as the lord of Sun, Jupiter / Ketu, as well as Venus in her own sign.


Chart of Pakistan Earthquake 0f 10-8 - The Planets are still aligned opposite the Earth. The Moon has moved to the Other side of the Earth and joined Venus, after having just eclipsed the Sun. The Sun, Moon and Earth are all in the same plane on the ecliptic (in 3 dimensional space) adding power to gravitational force upon the Earth. Also Mars is now retrograde which means he is closer to the Earth on the other side from Venus Jupiter Mercury and the Sun. Results: High casualties and devastation due to both the intensity and location of the earthquake. Venus has moved into Scorpio and it not as strong as being in her own sign. Also the Sun Jupiter and Mercury are no longer supported by an exalted Mercury. Jupiter is in the sign of an an enemy, joined a great enemy on this day. At the time of this quake (8 AM) the ascendant was 24:00 Libra directly opposite retrograde Mars at 29 deg Aries.

The effect of having the Earth between these planets, especially during an eclipse is like putting a person in a rack-like stretching machine and pulling them open.

We have anopther week or so during this eclipse cycle. The end of October could bring about some major difficulty again here in the US. As shown in the US Chart and that of our president as i have written about. Saturn will exactly conjoin the North Node in the US Chart in the 8th house. The 8th house is the house of War and death, etc. - Saturn is also a planet that indicates these things, given the scare about avian flu etc. we have to be prepared for this possibility, especially as Rahu is the planet of toxins and poisons, and as i have written he is now much more dangerous without the aspect of Jupiter. I do not write these things to be a gloom and doom sayer, by any means. I am much happier talking about the positive things that are possible. Yet these are the times when our faith and Spiritual practices are tested and we are challenged. Nature has its own wisdom and way of working. One of the first things I saw reported from the Pakistan Earthquake region was how the Indian government immediately offered support. These bitter enemies come together when a larger crisis demands it.We are seeing the result of Jupiter in Libra now as there is quite a focus on the Judiciary in this country now and electing another Supreme Court Justice. Also interesting was the recent proposition of using the military in the case of an epidemic, to quarantine different sectors of the country (presumably). This is very much a retrograde Mars in Aries aspecting Saturn in Cancer, configuration that i have been wiritng about. Security fears (Saturn) military (Mars) fear of virus and disease (Rahu)

On a more uplifting note, Since Rahu has entered Pisces (in April) there has been a great Spiritual renaissance in this country and in this world again. Can you feel it? Mystical Pisces is the sign where we seek the real answer, not just a worldy version of happiness. Yet there is always a purging of falsity that accompanies this awakening. This will continue for a year or so. These acute difficult periods are also the times when our opportunity to grow spiritually is greatly increased and our sensitivity honed. We are not usually so alert to the world and it's many people, as when mass disasters strike. Universal wisdom and love are always shaping our life events whether we know it or not. Saying mantras at this time is highly recommended. Especially "Lokah Samstah Sukino Bhavantu" which means "may all beings everywhere be happy"NamasteSadasiva
