Catching Up

This VedicLeaks entry begins the February webpage and also catches up since the last entry on January 29. Like a weekly TV show, VedicLeaks are usually published weekly. It is testimony to the intensity of the ongoing Rahu/Jupiter conjunction that this schedule has been derailed.

The January 12 entry explained,

That Jupiter turned retrograde January 6 results in the Rahu/Jupiter transit duo continuing in close proximity until mid February. The tremendous energy thereby continues for several more weeks. And a rule in Vedic Astrology is that the longer a planetary karma exists, the stronger and more impactive it becomes. Thereby, expect events like those described in the above January 5 entry to continue and become larger, like a snowball rolling down a hill -- though with Rahu, avalanche is perhaps a better analogy.

The Matching Predictions To Results tables on the home page have been updated to complete January and begin February. This includes both predictions and results.

As regards the former, January entries expanded Rahu's impact areas, adding disease, vermin and aeronautical leaps. Predictions for Rahu's impacts are now thereby:

wealth issues

government

storms

religion

earth crust events

disease

vermin

aeronautical leaps

Make note of these, for while they are paramount now, these Rahu impacts will continue through its entire 18 year Dasa (planetary cycle) in the U.S. chart. Yes, the influences will ebb and flow, pop in and out, but they will endure and be the energetic focus of this new Second Progressive Age -- wrenching inordinate wealth and power from the 1% to regain shared democratic values. A key descriptor here is conflict.

Wearing Thin

Don't fool yourself into believing the Rahu/Jupiter transit conjunction, which has been going on since early January, only brings intense events in the world -- that you are personally somehow exempt. While the U.S. is hit especially hard because it's Dasa is Rahu, as a transit (where the planets are in today's skies), the influence is global and touches all of us. Of course, many of these sensitive areas have impacted you directly -- such as storms and wealth issues. My banker told me his 401K is now a 301K.

If your life has been topsy turvy this winter, Rahu/Jupiter explains that. Another way of understanding Rahu is that this head-of-a-dragon eclipse point is like Alice In Wonderland's Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

If this dramatic and transformational energy is wearing thin already, get used to it. It's the future, for Rahu is The Destroyer Of Now And Creator Of Tomorrow.

Still, as stated above the influences will ebb and flow, pop in and out, and thankfully Rahu and Jupiter are gradually separating. They are now 1/2 a degree apart, and by mid month, the distance will be one full degree -- they still burn your fingers on the stove but are no longer pizza oven hot.

Next Up -- Transit Mars To Saturn In Scorpio

Just as Rahu begins to let go of Jupiter, on February 20 Mars will shift into Scorpio with Saturn. That will be rough. And because Mars and Saturn will both turn retrograde in late April, they will be stuck together for the rest of the spring and most of the summer -- until they return to forward motion and crash together in late August.

Plus, Jupiter will remain afflicted by Rahu in Leo until mid August.

This dual transformational karma will reshape the global landscape.

Oliver Cromwell was an English statesman, soldier, and revolutionary responsible for the overthrow of the monarchy, temporarily turning England into a republican Commonwealth. His famous quote, Put your trust in God, but keep your powder dry was immortalized in the by William Blacker's 1834 poem Oliver's Advice.

It seems fitting for these revolutionary Rahu times. Here's the poem. Note William Blacker changes the quote. The original is more appropriate. God isn't going to save us. We are going to save us.

The night is gathering gloomily, the day is closing fast—
The tempest flaps his raven wings in loud and angry blast;
The thunder clouds are driving athwart the lurid sky—
But, “put your trust in God, my boys, and keep your powder dry.”*

There was a day when loyalty was hail’d with honour due,
Out banner the protection wav’d to all the good and true—
And gallant hearts beneath its folds were link’d in honour’s tie,
We put our trust in God, my boys, and we kept our powder dry.

When Treason bar’d her bloody arm, and madden’d round the land,
For king, and laws, and order fair, we drew the ready brand;
Our gathering spell was William’s name—our word was, “do or die,”
And still we put our trust in God, and kept our powder dry.

But now, alas! a wondrous change has come the nation o’er,
And worth and gallant services remember’d are no more,
And, crush’d beneath oppression’s weight, in chains of grief we lie—
But put your trust in God, my boys, and keep your powder dry.

Forth starts the spawn of Treason, the ’scap’d of ninety-eight,
To bask in courtly favour, and seize the helm of state—
E’en they whose hands are reeking yet with murder’s crimson dye—
But put your trust in God, my boys, and keep your powder dry.

They come, whose deeds incarnadin’d the Slaney’s silver wave—
They come, who to the foreign foe the hail of welcome gave;
He comes, the open rebel fierce—he comes the Jesuit sly;
But put your trust in God, my boys, and keep your powder dry.

They come, whose counsels wrapp’d the land in foul rebellious flame,
Their hearts unchastened by remorse, their cheeks unting’d by shame.
Be still, be still, indignant heart—be tearless, too, each eye,
And put your trust in God, my boys, and keep your powder dry.

The Pow’r that led his chosen, by pillar’d cloud and flame,
Through parted sea and desert waste, that Pow’r is still the same.
He fails not—He, the loyal hearts that firm on him rely—
So put your trust in God, my boys, and keep your powder dry.

The Pow’r that nerv’d the stalwart arms of Gideon’s chosen few,
The Pow’r that led the great William, Boyne’s reddening torrent through—
In his protecting aid confide, and every foe defy—
Then put your trust in God, my boys, and keep your powder dry.

Already see the star of hope emits its orient blaze,
The cheering beacon of relief it glimmers thro’ the haze.
It tells of better days to come, it tells of succour nigh,
Then put your trust in God, my boys, and keep your powder dry.

See, see along the hills of Down its rising glories spread,
But brightest beams its radiance from Donard's lofty head.**
Clanbrassil’s vales are kindling wide, and “Roden” is the cry—
Then put your trust in God, my boys, and keep your powder dry.

Then cheer ye hearts of loyalty, nor sink in dark despair
Our banner shall again unfold its glories to the air.
The storm that raves the wildest, the soonest passes by;
Then put your trust in God, my boys, and keep your powder dry.

For “happy homes,” for “altars free,” we grasp the ready sword,
For freedom, truth, and for our God’s unmutilated word.
These, these the war-cry of our march, our hope the Lord on high;
Then put your trust in God my boys, and keep your powder dry.

Leo Jupiter/Moon
tonight and tomorrow

Watch the eastern sky this evening just after sunset. Then, you'll see bright Jupiter chasing the full Moon. This image from EarthSky shows the approaching conjunction.

Tomorrow (Tuesday), Jupiter will be closing in on the Moon, which brightness will wash out Jupiter's brilliance. They conjoin exactly at 8 PM ET, and then begin separating again.

Jupiter/Moon is an auspicious combination, for both are powerful benefics. As the Moon is so worldly (the benefits in life), Jupiter's luck and fortune influence to overcoming obstacles and solving problems. In fact, Jupiter/Moon is so advantageous, it is a Yoga (special combination) in Vedic charts -- including this transit chart -- called Gaja-Kesari. The sign is Sun-ruled Leo, the fifth house in the natural zodiac, symbolizing: creative intelligence, investments, government, children, enjoyments and pleasures.

Because the Moon is so bright, and Jupiter and the Moon are friends with the Sun, the effects of this combination are magnified. Use this to your advantage in all ways, especially those in the above-listed areas of life.

Still, recall that Rahu remains close to Jupiter, which amplifies effects, and also disturbs the emotional Moon when she transits Leo. So, don't push too hard in your efforts for gain. Rahu carries the serpent's cold blooded unexpected and uncontrollable energy.

Mars Has Transited into Scorpio
Mars into Scorpio is a huge reason to use the auspicious Jupiter/Moon energy to resolve issues, including nipping problems in the bud.

The February 10 VedicLeaks entry discussed the February 20 shift of warrior Mars out of Libra and into Scorpio,

Saturn is the great malefic and Mars a first rate one. Blue Saturn is cold and slow, acting by delay, entropy and losses of all kinds. Red Mars is hot and fast. As the planet of war, he attacks quickly, without mercy and also without regard for damages to others, even himself. Saturn slows Mars down, and Mars speeds Saturn up.

The combination of these harm-causing opposing energies creates stress. Also, as Saturn is authority and Mars selfishness, the combination brings misuses of authority -- in government, business and truly all endeavors. Finally, because this conjunction is happening in terrible Scorpio, effects are magnified. In fact, events are also speeded up because Mars rules Scorpio, greatly empowering him. There is a violent quality to all effects.

Because the ongoing Jupiter/Rahu conjunction most essentially means conflict, transformations that result from this duality (Jupiter/Rahu and Mars/Saturn) are rough: coercion, force, compulsion, constraint, duress, oppression, enforcement, harassment, intimidation, threats, arm-twisting, pressure. Well, this new Second Progressive Age won't succeed by asking the rich and powerful nicely to give away their oppressions over the rest of us.

In this regard, the U.S. chart is hit particularly hard because Scorpio is its 12th house of loss. So is
Saudi Arabia's BTW.

Sensitive areas remain those listed in the February 10 VedicLeaks entry,

wealth issues
government
storms
religion
earth crust events
disease
vermin

science
aeronautical leaps

Trump
The January 20 VedicLeaks entry is the most recent addressing Donald Trump's chart,

This prediction has been proven, for Rahu/Mars/Jupiter Dasas (planetary cycles) in his chart are tremendously empowering. But just wait until March 7, when Rahu/Mars/Saturn kicks in. Since the Mars/Saturn conjunction in Scorpio is Trumps fourth house of the emotions, where his fallen Moon is placed, he'll be a kite in a lightening storm,

Heads-up
Mars Rampaging Through Scorpio With Saturn

The February 10 VedicLeaks entry explained Mars' transit into Scorpio with Saturn will be a long 1/2 year bumpy ride,

The February 22 direct email VedicLeaks, now also posted to the web (above) further addressed the Mars/Saturn Scorpio transit and predicted Trump will be hit hard starting March 7.

Below are screen shots from the home page of the February 22 entry's summary and the table Matching Predictions With Results.

Note especially three mass shootings in the U.S. since February 20. This is so dire, even President Obama sounded an alarm -- Mass shootings should dominate the news While it's true Mars acts fast and quickly when he transits into a new sign, we should all take this violence surge as an early warning for strife through the summer.

However, this isn't actually all bad news, for remember, Only through turmoil comes change, and the Second Progressive Age is at its foundation, change -- for the better.

Here's a final direct-email entry for February

Super Tuesday
Or
Super Bluesday?

The Celestial Wheel hasn't discussed the presidential campaigns, except for comments about Trump. With Rahu Dasa (planetary cycle) in the U.S. chart signaling mounting turmoil, the election outcomes will remain in flux, perhaps right up to the election. Certainly there will be lots of Rahu-reptilian attacks during the next 8 months that will change the election landscape -- like an out-of-control bulldozer on a construction site.

Remember, the (above) February 22 VedicLeaks entry described Rahu's conjunction with Jupiter is conflict. Plus Mars with Saturn in Scorpio brings stress, ...transformations that result from this duality (Jupiter/Rahu and Mars/Saturn) are rough: coercion, force, compulsion, constraint, duress, oppression, enforcement, harassment, intimidation, threats, arm-twisting, pressure.

Well, this new Second Progressive Age won't succeed by asking the rich and powerful nicely to give away their oppressions over the rest of us.

That being said, tomorrow is called Super Tuesday because twelve states hold primaries then -- definitive in giving a commanding lead to a candidate in each party -- Republican and Democratic.

This VedicLeaks entry is published because the Vedic Astrology for tomorrow is tense, even fractured. That energy results from the above-described (and ongoing) conflict and stress karmas, with the all-important (public) Moon transiting Scorpio. Recall the Moon is a timing indicator for major events due ther the primacy in Vedic Astrology and moving faster than any other planet -- just 2 1/2 days in each sign.

The Moon, transits Scorpio from 5AM this morning to 4 PM Wednesday -- weak for Scorpio being its fallen sign and chewed up going into the maw of malefics Saturn and Mars. Whew! Here's a chart for tomorrow's Super Tuesday at at 9 AM ET -- showing these dispositions,

Note also that tomorrow is Mars' day of the week -- Tuesday -- which further emphasizes havoc. So, Super Tuesday resulting in a commanding lead to a candidate in each party will become instead Super Bluesday -- a blowout by the leaders or a rout of the either or both.

Trump's chart is strong with excellent Dasa planets until March 7, but the Moon's transit through Scorpio is incredibly rough for him -- especially since his badly afflicted birth chart Moon is also in Scorpio. Too, Scorpio for Trump is his fourth house of the emotions -- indicating he is reckless and may blow his top. And the Mars/Saturn/Moon combination aspects his tenth house of career -- a strong karma for losing public confidence and trust. Since the Moon transited into Scorpio at 5 AM today (Moon Monday) we may have already seen a taste of these karmas this morning in the news coverage about Trump denying knowing David Duke -- of KKK fame.

On the flip side, Hillary Clinton's chart is currently very weak. Like Trump, she could suffer a major setback. And Bill Clinton's chart shows his mate suffering a loss.

However, with Rahu energy, anything can happen -- which means anything will!

Whatever happens tomorrow will be unexpected and will reverberate uncontrolled well into March. Considering the next several weeks, March is eclipse month: March 8/9 total solar 24:50 ~~Pisces~~ Aquarius and March 23 Penumbral lunar 9:12 Virgo. These do not hit Trump's chart nor Clinton's (within 2 degrees of a planet). Nor is the U.S. chart eclipse-afflicted. I do not, however, have charts for the other candidates. Still, the eclipse season is unstable for the luminaries -- the Sun and Moon -- being blocked.

Another factor is the economic impact of tomorrow's primaries. Unexpected results can further jar the stock markets and ripple through the U.S. and global economies. Certainly, for example, Trump's success is negative for the economy, and the same would be true if Clinton falters tomorrow. Recall that a major karma for the Rahu/Jupiter conjunction is conflict over wealth, made worse for the house position in the U.S. chart is the ninth house of wealth -- and the destructive Saturn/Mars conjunction in the U.S. chart is in the twelfth house of loss.

Maybe the kite in a thunderstorm happens tomorrow -- and there is more than one kite in the air?

The suggestion here is to be informed but also remain calm, for there is no benefit in ruffling the emotional feathers -- yours, friends, acquaintances, family.... especially mean Uncle Harry whose blinders of fear/hate keep him focused exclusively upon FOX News. Remember the February 10 VedicLeaks entry's famous quote,
