The U.S. Vedic chart is gradually advancing through its 18 year Rahu cycle with predictably chaos resulting from lager-than-life unanticipated and uncontrollable events.

If these words, unanticipated and uncontrollable, sound familiar, they should be.  The Celestial Wheel has used them many times in the past several years as the best descriptors of this alien serpent energy.  This forecast, then, is a refresher, and reminder.

The U.S. entered this Dasa (planetary cycle) December 1, 2015, bringing tumult everywhere -- like a roller coaster, or even better, Class 6 white water rafting.

Here's the entire 18 year Rahu Dasa to 2 levels, with the minor level sequencing through all 9 planets.

As you can see, Rahu Dasa is now, in its sixth year but has only run through 2 full minor cycles and is partially through the third -- Saturn -- 1/4 the way through.

Understanding how transformational Rahu Dasa will end up being, compare it has 3/4 its way to go and the already tremendous events and resulting trends that have resulted.

Trump/white nationalism
climate change: drought/forest fires/hurricanes, flooding.
scientific advances: space exploration/electric vehicles/artificial intelligence
COVID 19/vaccines
Ukraine invasion.

Your own list may be different but it must assuredly be just as impactive.

Some Dasas are fairly uneventful, others chocked full of intense karma, like this Rahu Dasa.  The reasons here are twofold. First, Rahu by nature is eventful, just as this head-of-the-dragon is the the most potent totem in the planetary lineup. And 18 years is a long Dasa/

Second, Rahu's placement in the U.S. chart, below, is the most dangerous and powerful due this being the eighth house of hidden things.  Add to that, Mercury -- the lower mind, intellect, communications and the nervous system -- is also in the eight. further afflicted by Rahu.  Rahu thereby also brings all kinds of mental traumas -- mysticism, conspiracy theories, deep fears, racism...... If this were the chart of a person, he would be paranoid, unbalanced and unstable.

Notice, however, the above listing includes the positives of great advances in aeronautics and science.  Beyond the harms, that's what this combination brings.  Obviously, these will have their parts to play in our Rahu changed society that promises a Second Progressive Age.

It is in this context that we're enduring the Capricorn Collision, which peaks March 28.  Predictions have previously been made for Trump to fall off his perch.  There is also concern about Ukraine and COVID.  The former continues to degenerate into awful destructions, and the latter can raise it's head anytime.

The February 5 Capricorn Collision explained the process of discovering this impactive date -- most essentially a very tough Mars/Saturn conjunction that brings great destructions, frustrations and anger.  The peak is nearly upon us.

There's no need here to repeat all the details of this combination, although it's worthwhile mentioning this is a transit (where the planets are in today's skies) that thereby impacts the entire planet.  Here's the March 28 chart, when the malicious malefic Mars/Saturn energies peak by hemming in Venus and the Moon, and poor Mercury is both in its fallen sign and burnt by the hot Sun.

Also, it's devastating for Trump's chart.   See the December 22 Comeuppance, which began the process of identifying this most sensitive interval and how it hits that chart.  That forecast ended with,

Predictions were also made that Covid would peak again March 28, the U.S. chart would be hammered and the Ukraine war more acute.

New information here is what happens after March 28.  Then, Mars at 22 degrees and Saturn at 27 degrees are 5 degrees apart. Mars, moving much faster than slow Saturn, closes in on it in an applying conjunction. It won't be until April 6 that Mars passes Saturn and becomes a separating conjunction.  See the below chart. The former is much stronger than the latter.

Thereby, it won't be until the end of the first week in April that the bulk of this conjunction's impacts will have been felt.  It's also important to note that despite a 24 hour news cycle, information is not always current, comprehensive nor entirely reliable.  Further, with Mercury, the calculating mind, so weak, it will be difficult to understand, digest and integrate information.

Let's see, then, what happens in the next week and a half.  And take it easy.  The world isn't going to end. It may just feel that way.
