Coronavirus (COVID-19) and Vedic Astrology

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 indicating human beings, and therefore the necessity of avoiding large scale human contact. 

It is worthwhile to note that all dual signs aspect each other with Rashi Drishti (sign aspect). 
It is true that Jupiter’s next transit is going to be in its sign of debilitation, Makara or Capricorn which is a malefic sign ruled by Saturn. But there is a huge improvement despite this major infirmity: Jupiter would be out of the clutches of the Nodes, who, we have surmised are at the heart of the problem. 

The debility of Jupiter would be cancelled both by Mars, who transits Capricorn after Sagittarius, and Saturn who is the lord of Capricorn. No doubt, debilitated Jupiter will be conjoined Mars and Saturn and the mortality rate may be different from what we have seen thus far. The Jiva/ human being has fallen in debility. But there is no Nodal influence. 

Mars is the strength of the Kalapurusha, and Saturn in its own sign indicates that the disease is understood. There is a breakthrough (Capricorn is the natural 10th House) which restores the strength of the Kalpurusha, and therefore of the human being. Mars is exalted and is lifting Jupiter out of its debility. The process is far from easy and will take its toll but the release from the Nodes is bound to have a positive impact. 

Since Rahu is in Gemini (an Air sign), He is propagating the notion that airlines will be bankrupt soon. He has taken control of the Vayu Tattwa and has caught Jupiter in it. 
We also cannot overlook the fact that COVID-19 afflicts the respiratory system. All respiratory problems can be traced back to Rahu, His comeuppance at being beheaded and not being able to breathe at all. 

Once Rahu has nobody to deceive, He himself may reveal the cure (research).

A BRIEF LOOK AT THE TWELVE LAGNAS/ ASCENDANTS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY

People are often curious at the beginning of their astrological quest, to know something of the various facets pertaining to their ‘chart’; in other words, they wish to evaluate the basic propensities pertaining to their Lagnas and their Rashi/ Lagna Kundalis (Kundalis). Also, the Chandra Lagna itself and Gochar furnish other popular areas of curiosity. Lagna is the sign rising on the Eastern horizon at the time of birth and is occupied by a Rāśi (Rashi)/ Vedic sign. The average duration of a sign rising in the Lagna/ Ascendant is two hours and for this reason the twelve Rāśis cover the twenty-four hours duration of the solar day. ( Basic Jyotiṣa principles can be accessed by clicking this link ) Lagna imbues a person with individuality and therefore denotes the self and the personality of the person. It is the first house or Bhāva of the chart and is the commencement point of any horoscopic study. We cannot forget that in all the divisional charts as well there is a Lagna/ asc

Vedic Astrology: The Charakaraka Replacement and Its Impact

At its deepest core Jyotiṣa is at the driving centre of all Karma. Just like life, if properly appreciated as it must, it has the status of a full-scale on-going project of immense magnitude. Karma and Soul : The Lagna and the Bhavas reckoned from the Lagna in the Rāśi Chakra indicate the physical manifestation of life. In the Varga Chakra the Lagna and the Bhāvas indicate the personality and realities of that specific environment. When we speak of Karma we inevitably speak of the soul as it is the soul which must carry and exhaust the Karma through rebirth. Charakāraka - Matters pertaining to the soul are studied and deciphered through the Charakāraka in Vedic Astrology. The Charakāraka are the temporal significators (Naisargika Kāraka) for various matters at the level of the soul and the Karma. The Charakāraka are decided on the basis of longitude of arc traversed by the planets including minutes and seconds of arc, and sometimes fractions of seconds of arc. The Eight Cha
