Lamjung earthquake Nepal

!!Nepal Earthquake!!
reproduced from 'Planets & Forecast' October 2015 issue.

-       The Lamjung earthquake that occurred at 11/56/26 NST  or 6/11/26 UTC on Saturday, 25 April 2015, at the epicenter (28.147N & 84.708E) proved a destructive earthquake. More than 6000 people are known to have been killed due to this earthquake.

The zodiacal sign of a place has a great influence over the region for all kinds of affairs, whether it is political or natural. We can get hints in advance using the zodiacal sign of a place/country by following three ways-

1-    Transit position of planets over it.

2-    Annual chart of a country casted for the moment of Sun transit exactly on the zodiacal sign of a place.

3-    Last eclipses- Either of eclipse solar or lunar eclipse surely destroys the matters of a house in which it falls from the zodiacal sign of a country. It can also harm the significance of the trine and 7^th sign/house thereof.

Now, let us examine the event astrologically. The zodiacal sign of place is 7-00/58. After extending it up to the last limit of Navamsa, its value is 7-3/20^th, Scorpio sign, Cancer Navamsa, and Vishakha star.

Transit at the moment of event- April 25, 2015 at 11:56:26 NST (6:11:26 UTC) at 28.147N or 28/08/49 & 84.708E or 84/42/29

It was Saturday, Sukla Saptami, and Dhriti Yoga. Atmakarak was Mercury, and Gulika was posted at the Aries sign and Gemini Navamsa.

See the chart-

a-     The ascendant of moment, its Navamsa, Moon sign, its Navamsa and Karakamsa sign, all factors are either trine or equal to the place sign Scorpio! And afflicted. The star occupied by the Moon is exactly the same as the place star!!

The ascendant and Moon are within the aspect of Mars and Ketu. The Navamsa ascendant Scorpio is in heavy affliction.

b-    The Saturn is at the place sign Scorpio and aspects it in the Navamsa.

c-     The 6^th (Aries) and 11^th (Virgo) signs from the place are simultaneously occupied by Malefic. A special transit condition of Marak yoga.

d-    The Drekanna sign of place is Capricorn, and the Sun is transiting 4^th place from it. 

e-     The natal 8^th lord of the place is Mercury, which is afflicted in the 6^th house with sign lord and posited over natal sign in the Navamsa chart. Any connection of the natal 8th lord to the natal sign lord is a sure indication of some kind of misfortune at the place.

The 64^th navamsa sign of place is Libra, and the lord of this sign, Venus, aspects the natal place sign.

(Please remind of the rules published in the September 2012 issue of Modern Astrology, page 543)

f-      Some more conditions, I have observed from various events, which are about the role of Uranus and Neptune.

Uranus acts just like Saturn, and only an ill transit of Saturn cannot fructify any ill event without the support of ill transited Uranus. It is harmful at trine and 4-8-12^th signs from the zodiacal sign of a place, not only in Rasi but also in the Navamsa.

So in this case Uranus was at sign Pisces (11-23/30), which is trine to the place sign, and its Navamsa position was at Aquarius sign, which is 4^th from the place sign!

The Neptune transits over 1^st, 2^nd, 4^th, 5^th, 7^th, 8^th, 9^th, 12^th signs from Navamsa sign of place. This clue helps fix a particular area within the range of a sign.

In this case, Neptune was at the sign Aquarius, that is 8^th from the Navamsa sign of place.

g-     Another new concept is that the Strength (such as exaltation) of either of the 6^th, 7^th, or 8^th lord from any sign or any planet in exaltation in these houses is not good to that sign in general.

In this case, the 6^th house of place has an exalted planet, and the 7^th house has a planet at its own sign.

h-    The position of the 8^th lord of the place at the extreme end of a sign is also harmful to the place.

Annual chart- The zodiacal sign of place is 7-03/20^th. The Sun transited this point on November 20, 2014, at 1h 35m 06s at 84E42 & 28N09 according to Lahiri Ayanamsa.

Let us see the annual chart-

The 10^th house is 1-27/40 and the 8^th house is 11-27/52 according to the Sripati method.

The general indications regarding the annual chart are-

a-     The ascendant, Moon or their Navamsas fall in the 4^th, 8^th, or the 12^th house from place sign. The trine places, the 7^th place, and the Badhak place from the place sign are also sensitive if it is within affliction.

In this case, the Moon is in the 12^th house from the place sign in both Vargas' charts at the sign Libra.

b-    The main indication of some kind of calamity in the annual chart is that the 4^th house of the chart comes under affliction in the following ways-

1-    Position of malefic in the 4^th house of the annual chart. The position of the 8^th or 64^th navamsa lord of the annual chart in the 4^th house is also not good.

2-    The 4^th lord of chart gets place either in the 3^rd, 6^th, 8^th or in the 12^th house in Rasi or in the Navamsa chart.

In this case, the 4^th house of the chart is under the ‘Pap_Kartari Yoga’ or flanked with malefic as Venus, Sun, and Saturn moved to the 3^rd house in Chalit chart, and the 5^th house has Mars in it.

The 4^th lord of the chart, Mars, is posited in the 12^th house in the Navamsa chart. The navamsa sign of the 4^th house (taking navamsa of the 4^th house) is Pisces and its lord, Jupiter, posited in the 12^th house in the Rasi chart.

c-     The Navamsa position of the Gulika at sign Gemini is noteworthy in the annual chart as well as in the transit chart, as it is in the 8^th house from the place sign!

(Great care must be taken into account while preparing the Annual chart, as a slight change in the Sun`s longitude may change much of the ascendant. So don`t rely much on different software. Each of them shows some different at a given time. So consult Lahiri's ephemeris talking about Lahiri Ayanamsa.)  

Last eclipse- Either of eclipse solar or lunar eclipse is always bad if it takes place in the 1^st, 4^th, 8^th, or 12^th sign and surely destroys the matters of a house in which it falls from the zodiacal sign of a country or place. It can also harm the significance of the trine and 7^th sign/house thereof.

So last solar eclipse before the event took place on March 20, 2015, at the sign Pisces, which is trine from the place sign.

Actually, the eclipses are also influential over the zodiacal sign of a country. The Nepal (Kathmandu 27N42 & 85E19) is ruled by the sign Libra of Vishakha star, and the last lunar eclipse on April 4, at the sign Virgo of Hasta star was 12^th from Nepal`s sign and also at evil Tara from the natal star of Nepal. Hence, it proved destructive to this country.
