December 1, 2015

     This is a direct email entry.  It expands upon the last section of the November 29 VedicLeaks entry, New U.S. Dasa Dawning.  A Dasa (planetary cycle) change is the most impactive variable in a Vedic chart. 

     Dasas can be analogized with the river of life down which we travel on our lifeboats.  New Dasas are the river's coursing ahead, unknown excepting for understanding that Vedic chart's Dasa.  Changes in direction, current, depth are certain, and sometimes there's even a new forking or two.  Because Rahu -- the head-of-the-dragon eclipse point, is so alien, potent, with a bite that either heal or harm, its Dasa is the unusual, not the usual.  There can be shoals, drop offs, rapids, cascades, hidden obstructions, waterfalls, even carnivorous fish below and bears menacing.  Think of the Snake River in Utah,

 

 

Second Progressive Age Dawning
A long time comin.  A long time gone

 

New U.S. Dasa (planetary cycle
Today, the U.S. ended its aggressive 7 year Mars Dasa and began a long 17 year Rahu Dasa -- the head-of-the-dragon eclipse point.  This heralds the Second Progressive Age.  It's not just a big deal. This is a huge deal.  Shared democratic values will be regained.

Rahu, being placed in the eighth house of hidden things and calamity, brings an earthquake-like rejection of authority when his Dasa runs.  Thus, when U.S. chart ran its first Rahu Dasa from late 1775 to 1793 The Declaration Of Independence (from the English King) was signed within months.  But, it takes a long time to transform society. It wasn't until 1792 George Washington was elected the first President.

The second Rahu Dasa ran 1896 to 1913.  Its societal-wrenching change, however, was delayed until Vice President Teddy Roosevelt became President upon McKinley's assassination in 1901. Rahu in the eighth house of death was impatient with the delay to liberate an oppressed America from the Robber Barons' suffocating authority.  So Rahu killed McKinley.  This action gives you some insight into Rahu's dragon energy.

Not much will happen at this beginning of Rahu Dasa.  Although Dasa changes are turning points in the life, it takes some time for the new energy to fully come in -- to begin toppling the 1% and their deceived poor-cousin allies.

The earliest we may see Rahu strike will be just after the first of the year, when it attacks Jupiter, the planet of fortune. As, Rahu is unexpected and uncontrollable, it's impossible to anticipate the nature and timing of its reptilian fury. Jupiter's wealth would be a natural target, as would be government, storms and earth crust events. That Mercury will be retrograde January 4 to 26 will make Rahu's bite more venomous and bring confusion, perhaps panic.

No single date stands out, but January 9 to 11 must be sensitive. Too, there could be, not just one, but a cascade of events during January.

Whatever happens will not be clearly understood until month's end. Finally, remember, History repeats, but not exactly.

For some background on this coming Second Progressive Age, read, the December 2012 free In-depth Forecast, Has The Second Progressive Age Begun?

For a musical interpretation of weary Americans awaiting freedom from oppression by the rich and powerful, listen to the 1969 CROSBY, STILLS & NASH -- Long Time Gone.  While that was in the counter-culture era, the energy is similarly revolutionary.

It's been a long time comin'
It's goin' to be a long time gone

And it appears to be a long night
Before the dawn

You can smell somethin' burnin'
But you don't know who lit the fire
You can feel pavement getting' hotter
You can see flames as high

And it appears to be a long night
Before the dawn

Turn, turn any corner
Hear what the people say
There's somethin' goin' on around here
The surely, surely won't stand the light of day

And it appears to be a long night
Before the dawn

Speak out, speak out against the madness
Speak your mind if you dare
But don't, no it's a special don't try to get yourself elected
And if you do, you better cut your hair

Because it appears to be a long night
Before the dawn

It's been a long time comin'
It's goin' to be a long time gone
But you know that the darkest hour
Is always just before the dawn, hmm

Heads-Up
More On Rahu

 

"Hope" Is Not Good Astrology
The November 29 VedicLeaks entry, in the section New U.S. Dasa Dawning stated, Not much will happen at the beginning of Rahu Dasa.  And, The earliest we may see Rahu Dasa in action is will be just after the first of the year, when it attacks Jupiter, the planet of fortune.   These claims were repeated these in the (above) December 1 entry.

Yes, I also stated November 29, However, Mars will remain in Virgo until December 23. So, until then, the voracious Mars/Rahu energy continues.  But then I equivocated to some degree with, Major violences and larger-than-life turmoils of all kinds will tend not to recur.  Thus, I posted a prediction for December, in the table Matching Predictions With Results, Voracious Mars/Rahu energy in Virgo to 12/23.   And I posted there a link to the San Bernardino mass murder.

However, I know very well Rahu's energy is so precipitous it often strikes at the very beginning of a Dasa cycle, even a subcycle.  I ignored that for the hope, since there were no other obvious confirming karmas, that the U.S. would sail through the Rahu's Dasa inception without major consequence.  Clearly, I was wrong, for the San Bernardino shooting occurred at 11 AM PST December 2.  I apologize for this lapse of critical thinking and lack of attention to detail.

 

Here's The Corrected Astrology

Below is a chart for Washington DC when the attack occurred on December 2 at 2 PM EST.   As shown, malefic Saturn throws a close aspect (glance) to the Moon (home) and also to Jupiter -- the U.S. chart's planet ruling the fourth house of the home.  The red line indicates Mars is in Virgo, ruled by Mercury, and Mercury is in Scorpio, ruled by Mars.  This is called exchange of signs and gives the planets involved literally a full connection. Mars overstimulates Mercury's intellect, causing rash responses, heightened nervous tension and fear.


Had I taken the time to look closely at first few days of Rahu Dasa, I wouldn't have missed these confirming karmas. And for the U.S. chart, Virgo is the tenth house of government officials and the public -- making those the inevitable focus.

 

Mars/Rahu on Trump's Vedic Chart

Additionally, although many Republican officials and candidates created unreasonable fears of an Islamic terrorist attack -- Donald Trump yelled the longest, and the most. 

In Trump's chart, the inflammatory Rahu/Mars conjunction is in his second house of speech -- and his Dasa planets to three levels are Rahu/Mars/Rahu from 11/19/2015 to 1/16/2016.  So Trump goes over the top yet again with more lies and outrageous claims to create fear of terrorism and thereby increase his popularity.

Put it all together -- Rahu Dasa begins, the Rahu/Mars conjunction in the U.S. chart's house of the public and officials, Saturn aspecting the U.S. planets of the home, Mars/Mercury in each other's signs, Trump's Rahu/Mars...

Now, let's add one more thing -- that the emotional Moon in Leo on December 2, signaled the attack.  Recall, the all-important Moon is a timing indicator for events in Vedic Astrology.

Then, on December 4, the Moon transited into Virgo, where it is afflicted by Mars and Rahu.  As the Moon is the memory (the past), and Rahu is the future, memories of the past create fear of the future. And aggressive Mars on the Moon is an attack.  Many became paranoid at the San Bernardino attack.

No wonder, then, that so many people are so upset, feeling vulnerable to attack, more and more believing Trump, other Republican presidential candidates and many Republican governors --that the end is near -- plus, of course, the talking heads on FOX and talk radio fan the flames.

 

This elevated emotional state magnified the importance of the San Bernardino attack.  But then subjective energy is just a potent force upon consciousness of objective energy.

This added perceptional karma, then, is another astrological influence I did not see when I suggested Rahu won't do much until after New Years.

 

 

Reality Will Seep Back In

The Moon will clear out of Virgo late tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon.  The perceptional waters will then begin to calm.  Of course, the Moon will be in Scorpio with Saturn December 9 to 11; but lunar harm will be to depress, not elevate.  Since Saturn is reality, the San Bernardino attack will begin to be understood as a singular event, not a prelude to horrific ISIS attacks on the U.S.

It's important to also understand the current fear his is a temporary insanity, inherent in the U.S. chart, that pops out during times of stress.  See the August 2008 free In-depth Forecast, U.S. Psychology, for an explanation of this paranoia.  Remember how G.W. Bush stated after 9-11, Be afraid --  Be very afraid?  We were.  This advanced wholly dishonest his case for attacking Iraq.

Rahu Dasa will bring ongoing disruptions during its seventeen year Dasa, needed to forge new political and economic alignments returning equity and fairness to America.   Some of the events will incite fear -- as the San Bernardino rampage has.  But that is temporary, and ultimately cooler heads will prevail.

Rahu

Gaping mouth, sword, shield, trident, granting wishes, on lion and dark colored

The Destroyer Of Now And Creator Of  Tomorrow

 

Of course, there's the old saying, Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.

A direct email entry

Dear Subscribers,

The (above) December 5 direct email, Heads-up -- More On Rahu, is posted to the web (above).

As usual when transporting to the web, I've refined and expanded the content.

Note the following about Trump:

Of course, yesterday, Trump did exactly what was predicted -- ...goes over the top yet again with more lies and outrageous claims to create fear of terrorism and thereby increase his popularity.  I'm referencing here, of course, his speech yesterday for Barring Muslims From Entering U.S.

The  (above) December 5 entry continued with the section, Reality Will Seep Back In,

 

The Moon will clear out of Virgo late tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon.  The perceptional waters will then begin to calm.  Of course, the Moon will be in Scorpio with Saturn December 9 to 11; but lunar harm will be to depress, not elevate.  Since Saturn is reality, the San Bernardino attack will begin to be understood as a singular event, not a prelude to horrific ISIS attacks on the U.S.

Quiet Time

     The colloquialism quiet time is commonly understood as an interval of solitude used for prayer, meditation, etc.  However, parents, teachers and other child care folks with toddlers too old to nap require quiet time, usually in the early afternoon.   I remember Kindergarden, where we each had a blanket, and every afternoon the teacher asked us to lie quietly on our blankets in the darkened, and of course, quiet classroom.  Assisted living facilities similarly have breaks between meals and activities for the elderly to snooze a bit.  Quiet time, then, is a respite from the hustle and bustle and stresses of life, a welcome and needed restorative whether you are four, forty or eighty, or more!

     December is similarly quiet time in the world.  People are getting ready for the holidays.  College students finish their classes.  Those on the road for business also head home.  Investors clean up their portfolios.  Business deals are wrapped up.  Even armies tend to wind down their campaigns.

     And the planets are cooperating as well, for the violent Mars/Rahu combination in Virgo is winding down.  Recall Rahu's serpent energy intensifies Mars' violences and confrontations, and Virgo is the sign of enemies.  Virgo is also illness, and there has been a spike in both acute illnesses the the severity of chronic illness symptoms.  Rahu is now at two degrees, weakening daily as it approaches the edge of Virgo.  Mars has put a lot of distance between himself and Rahu at the current position of twenty five degrees Virgo.  And on December 23, Mars will transit away in Libra.

     Yes, the November 29 VedicLeaks prediction, Not much will happen at the beginning of Rahu Dasa, (December 1) was obviated to some extent by the San Bernardino mass murder December 2.  Yet, that terrorist act wasn't unique in either degree or frequency during this last seven years of the U.S.'s violent Mars Dasa (planetary cycle).  And, it was Trumps' December 7 demand all Muslims be banned from entering the U.S. that set off the emotional violence.  Finally here, the above December 5 entry correctly predicted in the section, Reality Will Seep Back In, ...the San Bernardino attack will begin to be understood as a singular event, not a prelude to horrific ISIS attacks on the U.S.

     Yes, Trump and his fringe-media friends will continue to stoke the fires of fear and hate -- feeding the Id rather than the Superego.  Remember the above December 5 entry observed his Dasa planets are, Rahu/Mars/Rahu from 11/19/2015 to 1/16/2016.  But sensible statements like, It's not a crime to be a Muslim.  How you identify a Muslim? (to be kept out of the U.S.), and Islam is the world's second largest religion at 1.6 billion people.... calm the emotional waters, even as Trump's polling continues to improve.  Quiet time.

     And the media has finally accepted Trump's clown act is being taken too seriously, with lots of insightful articles.  This one is especially illuminating, Thanks to Trump, fringe news enters the mainstream.  Please take a look!

 

Tonight's Republican Debate

    Whether you watch the entire debate or wait until tomorrow to scan the highlights, look for the candidates to step forward and challenge Trump on his baseless claims, many complete lies.  Which TV channel and program did he watch thousands of Muslims in New Jersy cheering 9-11?  Too, he may be vulnerable now with his Mercury, the intellect, very weak in transit through his fifth house of the mind.  That must reduce his counter-punching ability.  Trump will be pressed to admit he has lied, or backed into a corner, he'll lose his temper. Denials and silence can only work so long.   And remember, Rahu's venom is coursing through his veins.

     This debate, then, can be another step forward out of the darkness of fear and hate into the light of truth shining on Trump's demagoguery.

 

Back To Rahu In January

     The above December 1 entry issued a specific caution about Rahu Dasa's initial effects.

The earliest we may see Rahu strike will be just after the first of the year, when it attacks Jupiter, the planet of fortune.  As Rahu is unexpected and uncontrollable, it's impossible to anticipate the nature and timing of its reptilian fury.  Jupiter's wealth would be a natural target, as would be government, storms and earth crust events.  That Mercury will be retrograde January 4 to 26 will make Rahu's bite more venomous and bring confusion, perhaps panic.

No single date stands out, but January 9 to 11 must be sensitive. Too, there could be, not just one, but a cascade of events during January.

 

     This should be clarified and expanded upon. 

     When Rahu goes to Jupiter in early January, conflict, the eclipse point's blocking Jupiter will actually continue to mid February.  The reason for this long-duration tight conjunction is Jupiter will go retrograde for a few months starting 1/7 -- and Rahu's regular motion is backward in the zodiac - retrograde.  Thus, they will be unable to separate -- like bubbles stuck together in a pond.

     Rahu's insatiable desires upon Jupiter's wisdom, wealth and religion creates powerful conflicts in these areas. These, then, should be added to the above problems with government, storms and earth crust events.

     Trump is truly a lot of hot air and noise, and that balloon will burst.  Rahu on Jupiter is significant transformational planetary karma that will begin shaping the new Second Progressive Age -- not just a cascade of events but a true torrent reshaping societal geography.  Don't be mislead by the former and distracted to miss the latter.

Through The Lull

The (above) December 15 VedicLeaks, Quiet Time, explained that this interval is typically a quiet one for the globe.  The planets are cooperating as well -- he violent Mars/Rahu combination in Virgo is winding down.

In fact, even Trump has quieted down, really since December 23, when Mars slipped away from Rahu into Libra.

Beyond this issue, two other planets are doing through sign shifts now -- Venus and Mercury -- adding to the calm.  Planets at the edge of a sign are weak, just as the current of a river is strong in the middle and eddies at the bank.


 

Usually planetary weakness is a negative, for there's less energy for achievement, and planetary lower natures express. (For example, Venus' enjoyments can be excessive.).  However, in this case, this lull is welcome, coming at the end of a rough fall and during the holidays.

Here's a current chart.  Notice how Mars is at 1:36 degrees Libra.  The planet of war did bring some vicious weather the past day or so; but overall, Mars has been relatively meek.

Venus has moved from Libra to Scorpio, where she is also weak at the sign edge at 1:46 degrees.  And Mercury shifted from Sagittarius to Capricorn just a few hours ago.

As also explained in the above December 15 VedicLeaks entry, January will be tumultuous with Rahu transiting out of Virgo to join Jupiter in Leo.  This happens January 8, but Rahu's weakness as it shifts signs signals elevated serpent energy.  And recall, that Mercury will turn retrograde three days earlier -- January 5.

So, it's best to enjoy the remainder of the holiday season and get ready to rock and roll after New Years.
