The condition of the individual in the times of a global pandemic is a topic worthy of discussion. Individuals create the social fabric as themselves and as something larger than themselves through groups, institutions, movements, nations and so on.  In the various systems and techniques that the ancient art of Vedic astrology affords us, both the global scenario and the realities that obtain in the life of an individual can be studied with precision.  Human birth necessarily implies a fundamental differentiation, seen through the Arudha Lagna and the various other Arudha Pada, as well as thee Bhavas reckoned from the Arudha Lagna. it is natural then to ponder the question, as people are naturally doing- ‘What does this pandemic mean for me?’  In a recent paper we looked at the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19)-  https://planetarytransformation.blogspot.com/2020/03/coronavirus-covid-19-and-vedic-astrology.html . We also looked at the concept of social distancing throug

The concept of social distancing, when examined through the principles of Vedic astrology, is best broken down first as an expression, into its   primary constituents- social and distancing.

Moon (Chandra) is the significator (Karaka) for society and our interaction with others in society.   Distancing then necessarily implies something which influences the Moon to alter His innate behaviour, as it manifests through its natural significations. Distancing is a splitting apart, a moving away, which is a quality inherently harsh in its nature. Togetherness and proximity, interaction and sharing are being changed to distancing and separation. This is the work of the natural malefics.  Interestingly, it is social distancing which is one of the most crucial strategies that are being used across the world, through lockdowns and other means, to save lives in the face of novel coronavirus dise

When we seek to evaluate the threat of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) with Vedic astrology, we find that root in the affliction of Jupiter in transit. Jupiter indicates human beings, the most intelligent in all creation. This is for the reason that Jupiter (Guru) is the Karaka for Dhi Shakti, the power of discrimination, which is what sets human beings apart.  Jupiter is aspected by exalted Rahu, and conjoined the combination of Mars and Ketu in Sagittarius. This is Pishacha Yoga aspected by Rahu. There is affliction of Jupiter by three dire malefics. Rahu and Mars are bitterly opposed to each other and worsen the affliction.  It appears plausible to hold that the virus is controlled by the Nodes because at the heart of its spread is the notion of foreign countries. As far as India is concerned, Wuhan, China is a foreign land where the virus originated. The threat at its core is linked with foreign travel. The other planets indicate subsidiary factors such as the dual signs indic
