MUNDANE ASTROLOGY
At times, my learned readers have ask for political forecast. There are limitations in mundane predictions as we do not have reliable birth or foundation charts of political parties. So, I relay on lunation charts instead. In my younger days there was some sanctity in politics bug now it is equal to any other sin! I have lost my interest in politics long long ago. I do not care who comes to power, I have seen several elections in my life, several promises, several scams. There were several dissidents who went on ransacking or climbing trees or pouring kerosene on themselves. These people wanted party tickets so that they can serve the people better! Is it not possible to serve the nation by being a servant. To open an orphanage, do I require to become a member of parliament? And look at those candidates who have been shielded by the parties, their assets run into crores. I fail to understand how a rich man can understand problems of my poor brothers who unable to get a meal a day, who walk bare foot in the hot sun? The political scene is disgusting. Why do the people want to know about political scene?  It is merely some curiosity and they too are not serious who comes to power  and they know it is all the same! After sometime the astrologer who predicted and predictions are all forgotten. Some people take the political predictions seriously.  He said, "The vadhyar had predicted that Jayalalitha comes to power" and so I thought that vadhyar was an expert in astrology. My friend vadhyar knew several languages and will write to all the vernacular newspapers and magazines both big and small.  In some he would predict Jayalalitha will not come to power and in others that she will come to power. The great astrologer was bound to be correct and he will display the relevant paper cuttings on his table! Vadhyar knows some arka vidya or makara vidya or bakara vidya which his guru initiated when he had gone on a North Indian tour but he does not know how a basic horoscope is made.  Neveretheless, he has promoted certain software which he recommends as most accurate.  He also evaluates the answer papers for a reputed astrological examination. He is street smart and gets smarter and smarter as the days goby, conducting many conferences and seminars. People tend to be disappointed and lazy.  Possibility of earthquake can not be ruled out. The volatile combination of Mars and Saturn and Saturn and Sun in Leo during July and August, 2008 which may trigger earth quakes.  However, there is no great loss of lives.
Film personalities, actors and writers have got good encouragement and financial support.  The country tilts more on snack food and artificial beverages and as such the rate of diabetic patients goes up.  People tend to enjoy life with borrowed money and credit cards.  Number of cars and such luxury items goes up in every household!  Divorce rate is less despite the fact the women are made to work hard sacrificing  their domestic time.  Many new women entrepreneurs come up on the national scene.  People are not keen on religious practices.  It is very difficult for the political parties to imbibe religious feelings for their need!  The population wants bread, better, cheese, a car etc.,  Suddenly, it would come to light that a foreign power tried or is trying to dictate terms to the Union Government. This creates a great, heated debate in the Parliament. Though the government looks shaky it would complete the term.  Indian realizes the need for power and goes head on for nuclear power sources.  The left partners will have no option but to keep quite. Democracy is guarded well though at times due to two malefics in the 11th, rahu and Uranus it looks as though all the parliamentarians are puppets of a foreign power. At the time of need, government gets the support from an unexpected corner.  Trade is excellent. No new states would be created in 2008 and also there are no snap polls to parliament.  BJP can not expect to improve its performance in Karnataka. Yet, the old base is strengthened.  Internal conflicts subdue for the time being.  There will be once again an amalgamation of many parties that forms the government in Karnataka.

In the year Sarvadhari there was a solar eclipse on 01.08.2008 16.30 to 18.06 IST. There is also a lunar eclipse on 17.08.2008 01.06 to 04.15 IST. The eclipse on 01.08.2008 causes ripples in the government due to some problems related to religion or policy matter of the government and also misunderstanding among the rulers. The eclipse on 17.08.2008 may cause road accidents involving children.  Passing away of a distinguished literary person is also seen. Other charts like Mesha sankramana, Aridhra Pravesha kala chart and also solar ingress into different signs should also be used for clear understanding.  Paucity of time and place restricts this article.

When superimposed with Indian Independence chart, it is striking that the ascendant in both chitra pratipat chart and the independence chart are the same! We also find that Mars transits over his natal position, Saturn and ketu afflict the 4th house, Jupiter and Pluto transit in the 8th, Neptune afflicts the 9th, Uranus and rahu afflict the 10th house.  However, the 11th is well disposed having large number of benefics. Uncertainty yet stable financial conditions is seen. There is not much progress in the field of education, housing and the population desperately searches for happiness. Interest in ancient history, culture and occult sciences and love for  the country grows more. Discovery of new species of  living organisms or making new artificial organs expand the horizons of research. There will also be more involvement of minority groups, women and foreigners in the affairs of the country.
Now let us make a chart at the start of the year. This chart is referred to as Varsha kundali while the the one at the start of mesha sankramana is called Jagalagna kundali. The only difference is that I have used extra saturnine planets in this chart. My rationalist friends may ask me the authority for inclusion of these planets in my work. Suppose, I had not included, these rationalists would have argued, my knowledge is out dated and astrologers do not grow with changes!  A rationalist of 3 months crash course always bets the winning horse and an astrologer of 40 years of experience always rides a donkey! What does this chart say? The chart has Neptune in the 10th, Uranus in the 11th.  The remaining planets occupy the same positions in the bhava chakra as in the rasi chakra. This chart shows financial prosperity and also stable economy.  There would also be some scam in the higher circles involving a ruling party politician. Longevity of the population is excellent. Even then mass killing of children or explosion at a school, place of worship or an entertainment place is seen. A leader of national importance will pass away due to accident or violent attack in the month of September. There would be widening difference of opinion between the governing parties. Media and travel agencies make good profits.  The government is purely democratic and takes media into confidence. The employees, particularly in Railways, Post, Telephone and Finance Ministry would be happy and co-operate with the government.  Intellectuals, scholars, scientists and people in Armed Forces are not at all happy with the government incentives. During the period 21.05.2008 to 13.06.2008 government will study the implications of 6th Central Pay Commission. Central Government employees reap benefit  between 20.09.2008 to 13.10.2008. Housing loans become costly.  Also, government will start building houses for the poor and for certain class of people. The development in educational field is not seen during this year.  People tend to be disappointed and lazy.  Possibility of earthquake can not be ruled out. The volatile combination of Mars and Saturn and Saturn and Sun in Leo during July and August, 2008 which may trigger earth quakes.  However, there is no great loss of lives.
I should say, there are lot of research to be done in this field.  In ancient times the mundane was treated as the chart of the ruler. Shanti for a certain planet was done if it is afflicted in the king's chart and it was believed to protect the kingdom.  The present form of government was not known.  As such, many people fail to get the exact numbers got by the ruling party in the elections. So called foundation charts of cities and countries are also misleading, they are not dependable at all times. Despite all these mundane astrology does not occupy prominent place as that of individual astrology.
