today's disaster

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

Below is the September Forecast from my website. The website address

is www.VedicPredictiveAstrology.com This is not a sham, for I have

dated e-mails of this information to vertify the publication date.

 

Note the prediction in paragraph 4.

 

I Suggest that our greater responsibility as Vedic Astrologers it to

the public, indeed the world. Thus, I encourage everyone to broaden

the application of their skills and god-given talents to shine the

light of Jyotish for all to see. The typically introspective and

reclusive nature of most Vedic Astrologers is an issue I have tried

to bring foward for years with ACVA - American Council of Vedic

Astrology - with no success to date. Perhaps only the failure of our

profession to make such an invaluable prediction will wake us up to

our duty as we watch today's incredible havoc and destruction.

 

I am not lauding my talent (or "lucky" prediction) here but rather

bringing focus to our shared duty.

 

Namaste,

September 2001 Forecast

(Posted 9/7/2001)

 

 

The dog days of August must end, and this year September roared

in like an Atlantic hurricane.

 

Following is my August 30 emergency e-mail to my financial

services clients in response to that day's stock market gyration:

 

"Mars, the destructive planet of war, is now in Sagittarius

(Jupiter's sign), from which it aspects Pisces (Jupiter's other sign)

and Jupiter itself. As Jupiter is wealth, investments suffer. There

is also a likelihood of rash investing, which would bring losses.

That Mars also aspects Venus (wealth) just adds to the severity of

the downturn. At the same time, of course, relentless Saturn

continues in Taurus (Venus's sign of wealth), slowing depressing the

economy.

 

There may also be some religious fanaticism aggravating the

situation - Mideast stuff? I

see 9/10 - 9/14 as being really bizarre."

 

 

 

Mars moved into Sagittarius August 26 and reached full hurricane

strength on the 30th. The financial and religious issues described

above become onerous because the south node of the Moon, called Ketu

(the tail of a snake or dragon in Hindu mythology) is also in

Sagittarius this year. Ketu, as a fiery spiritual influence, bangs

against Mars' fiery worldly nature. The general result is

irritation, extreme sensitivity, loss of equilibrium and accidents.

Events happen very quickly during Mars/Ketu.

Thus, we find economic woes and religious conflict, which

combine to bring chaos and disruption on both a mundane (world) level

and to individuals throughout the month. Recent sharks attacks seem

to be a provocative manifestation of this energy.

 

The Mars/Ketu conjunction reaches maximum intensity between

September 10 and 14, as noted above. Although everyone should use

care in their activities during the entire month, this 4 day period

is exceptional. To avoid problems, stay alert to your environment

and avoid risky situations.

The wonderful photo to the right of last year's lunar eclipse

reminds of the continued conn- ection between the heavens and earth,

that the wheel of karma inevitably turns.
