The below was a direct email entry.

Heads-Up

Venus Afflictions Peak

The February 18 VedicLeaks entry, Venus Exalted, stated, This karma peaks at month's end into the first few days of March.

The reason Venus is so sensitized now is this Kappa (watery) is harmed by being conjoined two Pitta (fiery) malefic planets -- Mars and Ketu. (The latter is the dissolving fail-of-the-dragon eclipse point.)

The reason for this Heads-up is that tomorrow is Mars' Tuesday -- the planet Mars' day of the week, when his violent energy is fired up.  Plus, while Venus has passed both Mars and Ketu, Mars is in close approach to Ketu, which combination is explosive -- seething anger.

All of Venus' significations are under fire: vehicles of all kinds, and these can involve aeronautics and water.   (Not only is Venus Kapha, but Pisces, where these planets are placed, is also watery.)  Venus' love and relationship are on a tightrope.  Physically, Venus' reproductive system, kidneys, bladder and urinary tract are sensitive, and addictions can be an issue.

Very fortunately, the all-important Moon is not in this mix, but an aspect (glance) from malefic Saturn is obviously not good.

So, for the rest of today and tomorrow -- Mars Tuesday -- play karmic dodge ball.

Predictions Check

Below is a quick check on the predictions made in the above March 2 direct e-mail entry.  For mundane (world events) purposes, vehicle accidents, with aeronautics and water emphases, were specified.  On a personal level, Venus' significations for romance and her physical meanings were also noted. 

This Predictions Check is only for the mundane results.  Personal Venusian stresses are not media related, but they certainly resulted in witnessing people around me. 

With six plane crashes and five more major vehicle accidents, the karma is well documented.  This is thereby a good example of how The Celestial Wheel forecasting is helpful in planning your activities.

Aeronautics

     3/3  Plane crash on foggy morning kills 3

     3/3  Update: Plane crashes in South Sarasota County

     3/4  Turkish Airlines plane crash-lands after overshooting runway

     3/5  US snow: Plane skids off New York runway

 

     3/6  Actor Harrison Ford injured in small-plane crash in Los Angeles

     3/6  Medical helicopter crashes near St. Louis hospital

 

Vehicles

     3/3  150 Crashes In The Metro, State Patrol Squad Hit

     3/3  Winter Storm Thor Causes Pileup on I-94 in Clearwater MN

     3/3  Woman dies, man injured in 9-vehicle chain reaction crash on I-75

     3/6  Storm Strands Hundreds of Motorists in Kentucky, Causes Power Outages Across Ohio Valley

     3/6  Oil train bursts into flames after derailing in Illinois

Venus Finishing In Pisces

     Venus exalted in Pisces has had a hard time for being afflicted by both Ketu and Mars.  Thankfully, she's just a day-away from escaping into Aries. 

     And while accidents, especially aeronautical, have eased off since peaking earlier this month, they continue.  The above March 6 Prediction Check clocked six plane crashes and five more major vehicle accidents.  Since then,

     3/7    Crude Oil Train Derailment In Ontario, Canada Is Third Accident In Less Than A Month

     3/10  Three French sports stars die in Argentina helicopter crash

     3/11  Search continues in military copter crash off Florida that left 11 presumed dead

     Now the focus shifts to the eclipse season -- next section.

 

The Eclipse Season Is Here!

     The eclipse season is arrives with a total solar eclipse March 20 at 5:23 Pisces, followed by a total lunar April 4 at 20:19 Virgo. 

     Two important predictions for this semiannual period of instability have already been made.

     First, with Pisces being a water sign, the January 19 VedicLeaks entry suggested, Expect major snowy storms with heavy flooding when the Sun transits Pisces from mid March through mid April.  This relates to the below table first published in that entry,

Sign Dates

Sign Ruler & Qualities

Expected Weather

Capricorn 1/14 -- 2/12 Saturn -- windy, coldest windy and coldest winter storms
Aquarius 2/12 -- 3/14 Saturn -- windy, cold windy and cold winter storms
Pisces 3/15 -- 4/14 Jupiter -- wet, warm heavy snowy, warming trend, flooding
Aries 4/15 -- 5/14 Mars -- hot, stormy violent thunderstorms, tornadoes,

 

     The January 21VedicLeaks entry offered this benefit, There could be a silver lining, though, in building up the western snow packs, alleviating the drought.  We'll have to wait a while yet to see how this plays out.  That entry also offered this positive -- about abundant Jupiter ending his retrograde April 8,

Later in the spring, the transiting planets will be much better disposed -- especially for exalted Jupiter beginning forward motion again April 8.  He'll be very strong in the middle of Cancer then. Too, the last eclipse, a total lunar on April 4, will begin winding down that energy by mid April. Still, as the January 19 VedicLeaks stated, mid April to mid May can bring violent thunderstorms, tornadoes -- but that's normal weather then.

So, keep your head down this winter, get through the tough mid March to mid April and take advantage of what promises to be a very nice spring season.

 

     Second, as this is a Ketu eclipse (the tail-of-the-dragon eclipse point), and Ketu is gas an oil, that same entry cautioned (again) about oil prices rising,

Although this analysis is only about weather, since Ketu is gas and oil, expect supply disruptions then, for the hot Sun naturally afflicts Ketu.  Also, Mars will be in the mix in Pisces with Ketu beginning mid February, which can kick off oil supply problems that become dire in March/April. See the December 28, 2014 VedicLeaks entry.  It could be that severe storms are a cause.

 

     Noting the Mars influence on Ketu first stimulating oil price increase when it entered Pisces mid February --actually February 12 -- gas prices have been moving up.  Gasbuddy.com's price graph show a bottom of $2.02 for gasoline  (blue line) January 29, a mid February price of  $2.26 and currently $2.45.  It's interesting crude oil prices (orange line) have diverged from gasoline prices.  This can mean that traders expect oil to move up again?

 

   This eclipse season promises to be more impactive than most because both eclipses are total -- the light of the Sun and the Moon are completely blocked.  Another intensifier is that starting this spring, the eclipses will be in the difficult axis of the evil twelfth and sixth houses -- the natural zodiac signs of Pisces and Virgo.

      Again, it's very fortunate that just days after the April 4 lunar eclipse ends the eclipse season, abundant Jupiter resumes forward motion April 8 in his exalted sign of Cancer.  This will uplift the entire zodiac, curing many ills.

A direct e-mail entry

 

Friday's Solar Eclipse

Friday's total solar eclipse is being reported as a big deal astronomically.  The Independent has published today an article sensationalizing it, Solar eclipse, Supermoon, Spring equinox: Friday will see three rare celestial events.  Expect other media to pick this up with hysteria!

Actually, only the solar eclipse will be seen and then in a sparsely populated part of the world.  This map from timeanddate.com shows where the eclipse will be visible.  Just the far reaches of Scandinavia will be able to witness the totality.


The article's Supermoon claim is truly misleading for using this image,


The Moon will be at perigee then -- the closest to the earth during the month.  That is what defines a
Supermoon.  The picture above shows a perigee Moon when it is full.  It won't be a full Moon though, but rather a new Moon as it blocks out the Sun.  So, this perigee (Supermoon) Moon won't be seen at all!   See, In 2015, first of six supermoons comes on January 20.

 

Related to this, one may expect the ocean tides to be exceptionally high at the eclipse because the Moon will be at perigee, plus the Sun the Moon are on one side of the earth.  It's true that the Moon's gravity is strongest when its closest to the earth.  It's also true tides are high when the Sun and Moon are on the same side of the earth -- but that happens every noon Moon!  See Tides, and the pull of the moon and sun.  Here are the tides for Alexandrea, VA this month, with the fourth column being the high tide in feet.  1/10 of a foot is scarcely over an inch - no cause for alarm!


The Spring equinox claim is first down played in the article, but then infers greater importance,  While it won’t have any discernible, direct impact on how the solar eclipse looks, it will contribute to a rare collision of three unusual celestial events. The article then goes on to discuss the vernal equinox, As such, the equinox has long been celebrated as a time of beginning and renewal, by a number of historic cultures, and is linked to Easter and Passover.  In reality, the vernal equinox is only a time at which the sun crosses the plane of the equator towards the relevant hemisphere, making day and night of equal length. It occurs about March 21 in the Northern hemisphere

This article from Accuweather Total Solar Eclipse to Transpire Amid Vernal Equinox and New Supermoon cites the facts objectively, calling these three events a cosmic coincidence.

Of course, there's still the horror of the European power grid failing because solar panels there won't receive much Sun.  Will humanity survive that?

Eclipse Cycle Immersion

     With the March 20 total solar eclipse and the upcoming April 4 total lunar eclipse, the globe is immersed in this spring's eclipse season.  Like a swimmer caught in a rip tide, don't fight it.

Remember that eclipse effects begin a week or so before the astronomical event and continue strongly for about 10 days afterwards -- but eclipse effects can then linger for up to six months.  This is like having major surgery requiring six months to recover.

For personal charts, these impacts will be felt if the eclipse is within a few degrees of a planet in your chart.  This eclipse effect also results when you have a planet opposite an eclipse point.

 

     Yes, there are other planetary karnas, but because the Sun is the source of all energy, and the Moon the source of all life, this eclipsing is the definitive energy now.  Also then, the other planets act to influence the eclipse.

 

Specifics Of This Eclipse Season

     Let's explore the statement in the above March 11 entry describing specifics of this eclipse season -- Sun March 20 at 5:23 Pisces, followed by a total lunar April 4 at 20:19 Virgo.

     This eclipse season promises to be more impactive than most because both eclipses are total -- the light of the Sun and the Moon are completely blocked.  Another intensifier is that starting this spring, the eclipses will be in the difficult axis of the evil twelfth and sixth houses -- the natural zodiac signs of Pisces and Virgo.

 

    Total eclipses are more powerful, just as the black of night falls over the earth in a total solar eclipse, rather than just the sun's light dimming in a partial eclipse.  You can navigate a path in a partial solar eclipse but can't see the path at all in a total solar eclipse.

     The natural zodiac signs of Pisces and Virgo are evil because they are the twelfth house of loss and the sixth house of enemies.  These houses have further major significations.  The twelfth is losses of all kinds -- financial and other worldly losses, health loss in being hospitals, freedom loss in being prisons, social loss in being places of seclusion.  The twelfth is even loss of life in being the house final liberation.  The sixth house is enemies of all stripes -- people and competitors and other enemies to you including debts, court cases and acute illnesses.  These, then, are all sensitive areas during the eclipse season.

     Because the word eclipse means what it says -- block -- all the above listed twelfth and sixth house significations are harmed.  Yet, as eclipses darken the sky, the stars can be seen, which makes them also revealing.  A good case here is Ted Cruz announcing his run for the presidency Monday.  Cruz is a scorched-earth rabble rouser, creating only losses and enemies.  The conservative National Journal summed his fire and brimstone positions, And he hit on many conservative principles to loud cheers and applause: repealing Obamacare, abolishing the IRS, establishing a flat tax, securing Second Amendment rights, protecting the border, doing away with "every word of Common Core," defending "the sanctity of human life," upholding "the sacrament of marriage," and standing "unapologetically" with Israel.  It's been revealed the packed house of 10,000 students were required to attend, CAPTIVE AUDIENCE Students upset they had to attend Ted Cruz's Liberty University event or face a fine.

 

 

Planets Influencing The Eclipse Season

     The below chart is drawn for 7:20 AM on April 4 for Washington DC.  It follows the 6:04 AM total lunar eclipse on April 4 at 6:19 Virgo in order to use the natural zodiac -- the 1st house in Aries.

     There are three planetary significations of merit.

 

 

     First, see that Jupiter and Saturn are both retrograde -- backward motion preventing expressing their energies outwardly into the world.  As the big planets bordering the solar system, Jupiter and Saturn both protect and enclose the inner planets -- like the rails on a billiard table.  The rails keep the balls on the table, the game in order.  Jupiter and Saturn both retrograde is like removing the rails, allowing the balls to fly off the playing surface.  With the disruptive eclipse energy thusly not contained, planets can bounce around everywhere, causing all kinds of havoc.  

 

     Second, see that Mercury is right in the middle of this eclipse, actually very tight to dissolving Ketu, the tail-of-the-dragon eclipse point?  Further, as Pisces is Mercury's fallen (weak) sign), the planet of communications, business, and the nervous system is doubly afflicted.  This is a nervous wreck and foolish, even deranged, Mercury.  And following the eclipse, Mercury will have to push past the hot Sun on April 9 before finally getting clear into Aries April 12.

     Third, Mars is very strong in his own sign of Aries.  He'll be knocking a lot of balls off the billiard table.  Too, in Aries, he afflicts Venus in two ways.  First, Mars is conjunct Venus, and second, Mars aspects (glances) to Libra, a Venus-ruled sign.  Venus' vehicles, romance, wealth, contentment and physical qualities are all harmed.  Mars also throws an aspect to Scorpio, strong again for being ruled by Mars -- but challenging for hitting Saturn.  When Mars and Saturn energies combine, these two malefics cause struggles and tensions -- roughness.

    Expect then, all kinds of losses and disputes that go out of control and escalate.  These are then misunderstood.  Bad strategies not not resolve them. Finances and governments will be challenged.  The U.S. chart is hit hard.

 

The Spring Holds Great Promise 

     However, remember, Jupiter, the great benefic,, exalted in Cancer, turns powerfully forward April 8.   Along with this, Venus, another wonderful benefic, will finally escape Mars by shifting into Taurus.  Venus owns Taurus and thereby does well there.  Together, Jupiter and Venus will be a potent force for good and will repair damages. This spring holds great promise.

Heads-up
The Lunar Eclipse Approaches


The April 4 total lunar eclipse is just six days away -- at week's end on Saturday. With the March 20 solar eclipse energy still with us, this building lunar eclipse energy is starting to hit pretty hard.

The above March 25 VedicLeaks discussed this spring eclipse season in some detail in three sections: Eclipse Cycle Immersion, Specifics Of This Eclipse Season and Planets Influencing The Eclipse Season.  Take a look at this information again to regain an understanding of this tenuous time.

Briefly here: Eclipse Cycle Immersion explained we're in the midst of this energy.  Like a swimmer caught in a rip tide, don't fight it.

Specifics Of This Eclipse Season explained the eclipses are challenging for being powerfully total and happening in rough signs -- The natural zodiac signs of Pisces and Virgo are evil -- the twelfth house of loss and the sixth of enemies.

Key now, however, is Planets Influencing The Eclipse Season.  I repeat here the synopsis in the publication email,

First, Jupiter and Saturn both retrograde is like taking the rails off the billiard table, allowing the balls to fly off the playing surface.  Second, Mercury is in the middle of this eclipse, tight to dissolving Ketu and deranged in his fallen sign of Pisces.  Third, Mars is very strong in his own sign of Aries, where he afflicts Venus. Mars also afflicts Saturn by aspect to Scorpio.

Mars also afflicts Saturn by aspect to Scorpio.

Expect all kinds of losses and disputes that get out of control and escalate. These are misunderstood. Bad strategies will not resolve them. Finances and governments will be especially challenged.

And, of these three planets, Mercury is the most important, for it determines reactions. This planet of communications has already entered Pisces and is fast approaching Ketu -- the dissolving tail-of-the-dragon eclipse point. In fact, on eclipse days, Mercury will conjoin Ketu exactly, swallowing him up. As Mercury is also the nervous system, I can personally feel nervous tension amping up -- palpably disconcerting, even uncomfortable.

Not sufficiently explained in the above quotation box is Mars being very aggressive now, stimulating not just disputes, but violences.

The above quotation box predicted problems with finances and government.  This Heads-up reminds of two previous predictions:  Expect major snowy storms with heavy flooding when the Sun transits Pisces from mid March through mid April and ...since Ketu is gas and oil, expect supply disruptions then, for the hot Sun naturally afflicts Ketu.

The U.S. chart is vulnerable for running Pitta (fiery) Mars with Sun in its Dasas -- planetary cycles. These signify both wealth and government in that chart.

Keep in mind, however, we are all swimming in the eclipse rip tide. No one is exempt, and if either of the eclipses falls on a planet in your chart -- or at a point opposite a planet -- you will be powerfully eclipsed.

What may be most noteworthy is a major surge in Mideast violence and a realignment of countries there. This article, The battle for the Middle East's future begins in Yemen as Saudi Arabia jumps into the abyss, states, Unprecedented in modern Arab history, a Sunni Muslim coalition of 10 nations – including non-Arab Pakistan – has attacked another Arab nation and History may say that the attacks on Yemen are the start of a great civil war between Sunnis and Shia in the Middle East. Here's a follow-up article, Arab League Leaders Agree to Form Joint Military Force.

This third article, With Yemen strikes, Saudis show growing independence from U.S., speaks to the U.S. strategy, U.S. President Barack Obama's Middle East policy increasingly relies on surrogates rather than direct U.S. military involvement, although negotiations with Iran on the nuclear treaty naturally complicates.

Let's see what the eclipse season blocks and what it reveals.

Remember, though the closing section of the (above) March 25 VedicLeaks entry,

The Spring Holds Great Promise
However, remember, Jupiter, the great benefic,, exalted in Cancer, turns powerfully forward April 8.  Along with this, Venus, another wonderful benefic, will finally escape Mars by shifting into Taurus.  Venus owns Taurus and thereby does well there. Together, Jupiter and Venus will be a potent force for good and will repair damages.  This spring holds great promise.
