There are two entities to be focused on- Aquarius/ Kumbha Rashi and Jupiter/ Guru, And in that order. A significant event in Vedic astrology has occurred in 2021, in that Jupiter is now transiting the sign of Aquarius.
In that order, because the Rashi indicates the world of tangible realities or the field of play. It is the Rashi or the Vedic sign which holds all matter, all things.
Kumbha Rashi is a field of play that is heavily burdened with Karma. It is where the shock to the collective psyche resides, for this sign is the Badhaka Rashi/ obstruction to the Ascendant/ Lagna of the Kalapurusha, being the 11th sign from the movable Mesha/ Aries.
Kumbha does not change itself for the Lagna rising; it retains its characteristics and gives them to the Bhava that resides there for any given nativity. It is for these reasons that the sojourn of Guru in this sign is considered so important. Kumbha is filled with darkness and with the intoxication of darkness. Researchers work through the darkness to find illumination here, and to try and at least see the nature of the liquid that fills the pitcher, the liquid the imbibing of which makes the distinction between day and night disappear. Guru, ruling the power of discrimination and the intelligence of the human being, goes into overdrive in this Vedic sign and He has to if we are to get past what we confront as a race.
COVID-19 infections have escalated exponentially in April, 2021 in India much like a cancer with the arrival of Jupiter in Aquarius but this is only to precipitate the true nature of the threat into full view so that human intelligence can truly understand what it confronts. Guru is in an alien place, but He is akin to being in exaltation in Aquarius because there is no other option.
He has to work as if exalted otherwise the darkness will take complete hold- it is much the same reason that basic Mantra are recited in the usual course of things, to protect the mind from that which assails. The cancer-like growth comes because of the stress to Jupiter through the lordship of Rahu of Aquarius, along with Saturn, and the significator of growth suddenly shows uncontrollable expansion of that which this sign throws up. That too in India; India, which is India only because the country bows to Guru and to the Sanatana Dharma that He teaches.
It is only now that the enormity of the situation will sink in and the best minds in the world will work fervently to try and realistically and specifically battle the virus and that which it brings with it. The virus has grown and mutated, doubly, triply because of the core proposition discussed above but it is precisely because of this growth that we will see the folly in discarding the wisdom of Guru, in throwing better sense to the winds, and instead do the basic thing, use the fundamental differentiating trait given to us as a people- work with and actually use our own minds.
Jupiter will retrograde back to Capricorn but as long as He is retrograde in that sign He will manifest as exalted even in His sign of debility.
In Aquarius though, He aspects Mithuna/ Gemini, giving us every opportunity to improve our mindset, our communications and to learn to avoid that which though heady, is actually visibly disastrous. He aspects Simha/ Leo, filling the world leaders and all the big men in powerful places with the right intelligence to see the world as one family (Vasudaiva Kutumbakam) and to act accordingly, and also Libra, telling us that the nature of evenings has changed for the foreseeable future, and though the Sun may set here in this sign, the ensuing darkness does not mean that all that we do in the name of pleasure is actually invisible. The hedonism of Tula/ Libra must be conditioned by the Graha Drishti of Guru and it should not be that only when places of pleasure are locked down, that we see the sense in restraint when we are being tested so severely.
