Rahu Attacks

     The December 1 VedicLeaks entry was the early prediction for Rahu causing problems after New Year, Rahu strikes just after New Years. Below from the home page are the tables for January and February -- Matching Predictions to Results.  This signals the heavy lifting has begun for the Second Progressive Age.

    Additionally, Mercury went retrograde this morning, which will be causing both more challenges and confusions, bringing, not just one, but a cascade of events during January.

     Below is that table and following are images associated with these events.

     Expect the unexpected.

Rahu Conjoined Jupiter

     The U.S. chart's 18 year Rahu (the head of the dragon eclipse point) Dasa began December 1, 2015.  Rahu's, signifying desire on steroids, is the future.   This was announced in the November 29, 2015 VedicLeaks entry -- in the last section, titled, New U.S. Dasa DawningThis heralds the Second Progressive Age. It's not just a big deal.  This is a huge deal. Shared democratic values will be regained.  Recall that Dasas (commonly called planetary cycles) are primary karma in Vedic Astrology.  Transits (where planets are in today's skies) are secondary karma.

 

     The December 1 (2015) VedicLeaks entry spotlighted 2016 starting with a roar with transit Rahu leaving Virgo to attack Jupiter in Leo,

 

     We're well into this twin transit karma of Rahu approaching Jupiter and Mercury's retrograde.  This is a tough combination, for Rahu-inspired events are unanticipated and uncontrollable, and Mercury's retrograde renders this planet of the intellect incapable of sorting out events and understanding them.  The above January 5 VedicLeaks, Rahu Attacks, described early results in the predicted areas of wealth, government, storms and earth crust events.  The December 15 VedicLeaks entry added religion to the list.  The specifics of these karmas are unknown, for serpent energy is alien.  But they do all have the essential quality of conflict, for that's what intoxicating Rahu does to Jupiter's wealth, religion, philosophy and higher mind.  Another way to understand this is Rahu degrades Jupiter's higher values -- greed replaces generosity, selfishness overcomes ethics.....

     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.

     But Rahu is not the only Dasa/transit player in the U.S. chart.  The subcycle Dasa planet in this Rahu Dasa is Saturn, the great malefic, which, is very much like Rahu.  Saturn destroys that which is no longer necessary to make room for the newRahu is the destroyer of now and creator of tomorrow.  The U.S. chart's Saturn subperiod Dasa began January 11 and continues until February 4.  So, we have both these transformative bad actors active on the global stage this winter.  However, Rahu is the controlling planet -- like the quarterback is the player with the ball.

     The below transit chart for today shows Rahu (which moves backward) very close to Jupiter -- the shaded box.  It also shows Saturn in terrible Scorpio, where it afflicts Venus and throws its three aspects (glances) to Mercury, Taurus and the Jupiter/Rahu combination in Leo.  Saturn obstructs Mercury's already clouded intellect.  The Taurus aspect is bad because malefic Mars also aspects Taurus -- stimulating struggles.  Saturn's aspect to Jupiter/Rahu further harms Jupiter and brings relentless action and victimizing.  Note that poor Mercury is afflicted a second time by a Mars aspect.

 

 

     It is also important, actually critical, that subscribers understand these challenging planetary karmas affect us all personally -- not just global events.  Mercury retrograde tends to be the most recognizable -- miscommunications of all kinds.  I'm amazed, actually, that this VedicLeaks entry has been composed without any problems -- yet.

     In closing, remember to visit the home page from time to time for updates in Matching Predictions With Results.

Updated Results

     See Updated Matching Predictions To Results on the home page.  Note the predictions are for: wealth issues, government, storms, religion and earth crust events.  The transit energy here is primarily the Jupiter/Rahu conjunction, which continues until mid February.  Because karma (influence) increases with the duration of a planetary configuration, look for all these areas to both be expressed and become more serious.

     A secondary transit karma is Mercury retrograde.  Its three week reverse direction will fortunately end soon -- January 25 at 3 PM.  Mercury forward will restore the calculating mind, the intellect, bringing clarity to confusing issues and settle nervous systems.

 

 

Gas And Oil

     Ketu, the tail-of-the-dragon eclipse point is the past, which includes gas and oil, for those deposits were put down millions and millions of years ago.

     Ketu's transit through Pisces ran from July 14, 2014 to January 9, 2016.  Pisces is a good sign for Ketu because it is ruled by abundant Jupiter, allowing Ketu to prosper.  This brought increased gas and oil supplies -- and then lower prices.  This oil and gasoline price chart shows the almost eerie match up with the current price decline and Ketu's transit through Pisces.

 

     Ketu transited into Aquarius January 10 of this year and will remain there until  September 8, 2017  Because Aquarius is ruled by restrictive Saturn, Ketu doesn't do well there.  Gas and oil supplies will thereby be reduced, which will drive up prices again. 

     Some of this increase would be because prices now are so low -- bouncing up from a bottom.  The remainder, however, would be a reduction in supply, which could very well be Saudi Arabia.  The Celestial Wheel has predicted for many years its monarchy will fall during this very bad Jupiter Dasa  2006 to 2022.

 

Trump

     Trump's voracious Rahu/Mars/Rahu planetary cycle ran from November 19, 2015 to January 16 of this year.  He was particularly vicious during this interval.  The current cycle is Rahu/Mars/Jupiter til 3/7.  Because his Jupiter is so strong, Trump continues to do well in the polls.  But then, Rahu/Mars/Saturn kicks in until May 7.  That will definitely slow him down.

Rahu Dasa -- Transformational

     There's a lot going on, which is to be expected during Rahu Dasa (planetary cycle).  As stated in the December 5, 2015 VedicLeaks entry,

Rahu Dasa will bring ongoing disruptions during its eighteen year Dasa, needed to forge new political and economic alignments returning equity and fairness to America.


Rahu
Gaping mouth, sword, shield, trident, granting wishes, on lion and dark colored
The Destroyer Of Now And Creator Of Tomorrow

 

     This entry further explores Rahu Dasa fundamentals.


     We've already seen typically intense results from the U.S. chart's still new 18 year Rahu Dasa (planetary cycle) that began December 1, 2015.  As the head-of-the-dragon eclipse point, Rahu's bite usually harms, but it can also heal.  Rahu is toxic, and its affect upon mental Mercury can be summed up as toxic thinking.

     Placed in the eighth house of turmoil with mutual Mercury, Rahu Dasa's toxicity stimulates fear of attack, anxiety, being flustered, disoriented when rushed....  These qualities naturally lead to suspicion and fear of authority.  This is how Rahu Dasa ushers in a new Progressive Age --, rejecting establishment authority, perceiving unfairnesses -- politically, economically, even religiously.  This last is America's mystical paranoia.

     We've seen Rahu in Trump's appeal economically and politically -- make America great again.  That billionaire Trump is actually the the impoverished common man's enemy doesn't register with those who welcome his toxic thinking campaign of hate and fear.  Ted Cruz's appeal, however, is to the religious right, which embraces his mystical paranoia -- Christian values being under attack.  Both feed upon fear of aliens, for foreigner is another Rahu signification.

     The Oregon siege is another manifestation of Rahu/Mercury significations -- waving the flag for independence from government.  So, even as the end result of a Progressive Age restores shared democratic values, Bette Davis' famous quote in All About Eve, Fasten your seat belts.  It's going to be a bumpy night. rings true.  That Bette Davis herself is Rahu intense, which made her ideal for this film about a scheming young actress named Eve, who cozies up to an older actress, then tries to steal her roles and her husband.

 

     Rahu's attacks are not just toxic but unexpected and uncontrollable, as seen in latest disease scare, Zika virus 'spreading explosively,' WHO leader says.  Another Rahu signification is vermin, which is currently seen in Argentina scrambles to fight biggest plague of locusts in 60 years

     However, no planet, despite its natural harms and additional challenges arising from it's disposition, is without benefit.  Rahu dives deeply into the eighth house realm of the unconscious -- unknown, secrets and hidden things -- thrusting these to into consciousness, like an upwelling ocean current brings nutrients to the surface.  And with calculating Mercury also there, transformational research breakthroughs and technological leaps result. 

     Because Mercury is the business planet in the U.S. chart, advances elicit from the private sector, which then transforms and stimulates the economy.  Endeavors involve science, for Rahu is the future, and specifically aeronautical.  (In the ancient East, Rahu was flying carpets.)  We shouldn't be surprised then with another huge success in rocketry, Jeff Bezos launches nd lands again in another first for booming space industry.  Watch this video of the fist successful soft landing by Blue Origin last November, Historic Rocket Landing.

 

 

 

     The Wright Brothers first flight was December 13, 1903.  The U.S. chart's Dasa planets were then Rahu major and Mercury minor.  Thus, an entirely new industry was born, and within a few years, commercial flights began.

   BTW, Faster your seat belts.  It's going to be a bumpy night. refers to a bumpy airplane flight, for cars didn't have seat belts then.

     Rahu is running the show now.  Buckle up.
