When will Covid-19 pandemic end?

It is worrying to see so many new Covid 19 cases on a daily basis. So I did the astrological charts of the last few past pandemics and studied them, to see if there is some hope that this will end soon.

What I found is a strong link of the Rahu Ketu Axis with contagious respiratory diseases.

Looking at Rahu's movement next year, it is very likely that the current global situation will continue to worsen all the way to end of 2022. Rahu tend to leave some residual effects after creating havoc. Thus, for now we still need to hang in there for a long while. There will be more new variants coming throughout the year globally as Rahu will only start loosening its grip towards end of 2022.

 

 

Some rambling on Psychology Astrology

Mr Marc Boney is a well-known Vedic astrologer in the U.S, trained under the school of KN Rao. He is one of my favorite authors on Vedic Astrology books. Prior to learning Vedic Astrology, he was practicing Western Astrology for over 20 years. Despite the years of giving consultations, he was unable to predict much and had to resort to ‘psychology astrology’, which is much easier to do (due to the 'Barnum Effects').

Below is the extract from one of his books, where he talks about this admittedly:

‘I was once an astrological fraud. Although I had been practicing Western astrology for some twenty years, I could not reliably and consistently predict events. The only redeeming feature in this was that I was an honest fraud. I told those who asked to consult with me that if it was event prediction that they were looking for they were talking to the wrong person. Instead I became adept at delineating personality dynamics through the birth chart and shied away from the predictive side. Of course, I did speak about what potentials for development certain major transits represented, but I refused to speculate about likely events. I told myself this was mostly because I didn’t want to condition people's minds in a harmful way, as astrological predictions sometimes do. But if the truth were known, it was mostly because I never felt confident enough in my ability to do so. I received good feedback on this type of consultation, which was more "astro-psychologizing" than predictive astrology.’

Diamond is a Woman’s Best Friend – Not for Some

In the last few decades, it has become a trend for women to wear their wedding band in the form of a diamond ring. What better way to show your new marital status than to embellish your hand with a stone that symbolize everlasting love? That being said, a small handful of people, in accordance to Vedic Astrology, may not realize that diamond can spell marital woes for them.

In our practice, diamonds are associated with the planet Venus and are known to accentuate the planet’s influence on its wearer. While Venus is generally known to be a natural benefic planet, but in certain astrological charts, Venus can sometimes take on malefic role.

And when that happens, wearing the diamond ring may not be that good an idea. For the ladies, if Venus is malefic in your chart and afflicts the 7^Th lord, it can cause your relationship to be strained months or weeks after your husband put on the diamond ring for you. If it afflicts your 5^th House, it can affect your chances of conceiving, unknowingly to you. As a double whammy, if Venus also aspects or sits with Jupiter closely, the negative impact on husband and progeny can be almost certain.

Maybe that is why some couples can be happy in a relationship but things quickly turned sour after marriage.

Here are 2 sample charts of female who should avoid wearing diamonds at all.

Example 1: Wearing diamond will make her marriage suffer. Venus afflicts 7^th House of marriage and also afflicts Jupiter, significator of husband, by conjunction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

Example 2: Wearing diamond will affect her chances of having kids. Venus afflicts the 5^th House of children and also the 5^th Lord, Jupiter itself. Jupiter is also the significator of children.
