Riots and the zodiacal sign of a state or country

 Riots and the zodiacal sign of a state or country

(Modern Astrology, February 2024)

The formula for calculating the Zodiacal sign of a place is a wonderful invention in the field of predictive astrology. It has many uses; one is to know probable trends of the kingdom in the upcoming year, using the annual horoscope of the state or country. Many special natural, social, and political incidents happen every year in the state. Some natural, sometimes social, and political events prove to be painful for the public. We get to see the pre-signs of all such incidents in the annual horoscope of the state or country. Natural accidents, changes in governance, danger to the king, and social upheavals such as riots, etc., can be predicted accurately from the year horoscope of the state. There is economic loss due to riots, and many lives and the respect of women are also at stake. Here I am presenting a brief study of the annual horoscope about it. Knowing these incidents ahead of time, we can make proper arrangements for their prevention.

We see the following indications for such events in the annual horoscope of the state.

1-    Rahu/Ketu is the prime factor for causing riots, and signifies rumors and misunderstandings. Mars signifies violence, and the 4^th house stands for the mob or public of the state.

a-    So, whenever Rahu/Ketu joins the 4^th house or its lord in the Rasi or Navamsa chart of the annual horoscope of the state or country indicates a strong possibility of riots in that annual year.

b-    They are also harmful when their Navamsa sign belongs to the 4^th house of the Rasi chart. The involvement of Mars in such a combination indicates violence.

c-     Afflicted Saturn in the 4^th house in either Varga, with other supporting combinations, can destroy the peace of the public.

d-    The ascendant lord in the 6^th, 8^th, 12^th house shows some kind of disturbance in the country.

2-    Other indications are the same as for natural calamities given in my published article, namely ‘Zodiacal sign of a Place’ in the September 2012 issue of Modern Astrology. I am quoting some of them applicable in this context.

a-    The ascendant and the moon or their Navamsas fall in the 4^th, 8^th, or 12^th from the zodiac sign of the country or state. The trine signs from the natal zodiac sign of place have a sensitive nature, and when afflicted, prove harmful to the place.

b-    The 4^th lord or the Navamsa of the 4^th lord is in the 3^rd, 6^th, 8^th, or 12^th. Or at least it occupies another sign ruled by the 8^th lord. Its position at the 4^th, 8^th, and 12^th in the Navamsa chart adds fuel to the fire.

Conclusively, weakness and affliction to the 4^th house and 4^th lord a factors, and for a serious kind of incident, affliction and weakness of the ascendant and its lord must. It may be by some other planetary position.

3-    The Patyayani Dasa works well for an annual horoscope. The period for such an event generally belongs to the 4^th lord and Mars. The Dasa of the 6^th, 8^th, and 12^th lord or planets posited there in either Varga may also cause such an event. The weak and afflicted ascendant can also cause such an evil event.

How to cast the annual horoscope of the country or state- The horoscope is cast for the time of the Sun`s transit exactly on the zodiac sign of the state or country.

Now, let us examine some charts.

1-    Manipur, a northeast state of India, is suffering from severe riots now. On May 3, 2023, violence erupted after the high court's decision in favor of a community demanding scheduled tribe status in the state. Let us observe the annual chart of the state.

The capital of Manipur is Imphal, and its coordinates are 24°49` N and 93°57` E Its zodiacal sign of it Cancer with Pushyami star (3s-16°40`).

Annual horoscope detail- August 3, 2022, at 9 h 37m 23s at Imphal

The ascendant = 5s-21° 42` 08”

The 10^th house= 2s-21° 59` 04”

The 8^th house= 0s-21° 47` 47”

Patyayini Dasa chart for the related period is as shown, ending dates –

 

Let us examine the chart-

1-    The prime factor for riots, Rahu, is joining the 4^th lord Jupiter in the Navamsa chart with the violent planet Mars. It also has an aspect to the 4^th house in the Rasi chart. Here, Rahu is with Mars, so it is carrying the effect of Mars along with it. The 4^th lord Jupiter is also not in a happy state as suffering from Kendra lordship factor, retrograde, and within the aspect of the 6^th lord Saturn.

2-    The annual ascendant and the Moon both attained a position at the sign Virgo that belongs to the 3^rd house from the natal sign of the state. Moreover, the Navamsa position of the Moon at the sign of Gemini is the 12^th from the natal sign.

The 4^th lord Jupiter's Navamsa sign is Aries, which comes from the eighth house in the Rasi chart.

3-     Patyayini Dasa is much more sensitive to the ascendant degrees. On May 3, the sub-period was Sun under the major period of the ascendant. The ascendant lord Mercury is posited at the sign as belonging to the 12^th house, though it moved back to the 11^th house in the Chalit chart; it may have some maleficence of the 12^th house. The sub-period lord is Sun, the 12^th lord. This Dasa is followed by the violent planet Mars, posited in the 8^th house as an 8^th lord with Rahu.

I think no solution is going to be found soon, and the situation of riots will keep on happening because the horoscope for the coming year is also not good in this context.

Now let us see some other cases-

1-    Nahel Merzouk riots France- A series of riots began on June 27, 2023, after an encounter that continued till July 15. Let us see the annual chart of the country.

Date- June 15, 2023, at 14h 46m 10s at Paris 48°51`24” N, 02°21`03” E

The zodiacal sign of the country is Taurus 1s-30° 00`

The 10^th house= 2s-12° 38` 53”

The 8^th house= 0s-11° 42` 22”

The 4^th lord Jupiter is with Rahu in the 8^th house within the aspect of the 6^th lord Saturn. The Moon is 12^th in the sign Aries and 8^th in the sign Sagittarius in the Navamsa from the natal zodiac sign of the country. The Ascendant is trine at the sign of Virgo, and the Navamsa is at Aries 12^th from the natal zodiac sign.

The good Navamsa position of Jupiter and other planets kept the situation under control, and there was not much loss of life.

The ascendant and the ascendant lord Mercury both are at Aries Navamsa, which belongs to the 8^th house. So, it was the time of the Lagna sub-period under the major period of Lagna.

1-    1984 Anti-Sikh riots in India- After the assassination of Indira Gandhi by two of her Sikh bodyguards on October 31, 1984, anti-Sikh riots erupted throughout the country. They continued for several days, killing more than 3000 Sikhs in New Delhi, and an estimated 8000-20000 Sikhs in total were killed across India. Let us observe the annual chart of India.

Date- February 6, 1984, at 19h 17m 47s, New Delhi 28° 36` 50” N, 77° 12` 32” E

The zodiacal sign of the country is Capricorn 9s 23° 20`

The 10^th house= 1s 08° 30` 09”;                  The 8<sup>th</sup> house=11s 09° 34` 18”

The 4^th house is occupied by Ketu, and the 4^th lord, Mars, is in the 3^rd house with Saturn; moreover, the Navamsa sign is occupied by it, the Pisces belongs to the 8^th house. The annual ascendant is Leo, who belongs to the natal 8^th house. The 4^th house from Navamsa ascendant though posited by a mutual enemy benefic but within the three malefic aspects of Rahu, Mars, and Saturn.

The time of riots under the influence of afflicted 4^th lord Mars period as per Patyayini Dasa. The sub-period was ruled by the 8^th lord Jupiter.

(Let me tell you, in the Indian context, fiery signs have always proved to be bad in the form of annual ascendants as they belong to the natal 8^th house trine. At the time of China's attack in 1962, the annual ascendant was Sagittarius; at the time of Pakistan`s attack in 1971, it was Aries. The trine signs within affliction also prove harmful. At the time of Pak`s attack in 1965, it was Virgo with Mars.)

1-    Anti-Hindu Riots 1992- Several anti-Hindu riots erupted throughout India after the demolition of Muslim architectural relics that were imposed on the Ram temple on December 6, 1992. Let us see the annual chart of India for the related period.

Date- February 6, 1992, at 20h 39m 00s at New Delhi

The 10^th house= 1s-27° 29` 48”, The 8<sup>th</sup> house= 11s-27° 44` 14”

The 4^th lord Mars is with Rahu occupied at the sign ruled by the 8^th lord Jupiter within the aspect of it. Here Jupiter is more 8^th lord than the 5^th lord, as a rule planets offer results more predominantly of the house where its opposite nature sign falls about the occupied sign by it according to odd-even nature. Here, it is posited that the sign Leo is odd, so it will offer the result of the 8^th house more predominantly where its even sign falls than the 5^th house.

The annual ascendant Leo and its Navamsa Sagittarius both belong to the natal 8^th house trinity.

The Patyayini period of Sun-Venus and Moon was on during the riots. The Sun is in the 6^th house as an ascendant lord with the 6^th lord Saturn, sub-period lord Venus is with the 4th lord Mars and Rahu, and the Moon is the 12^th lord, with Saturn in the 6^th house in Navamsa.

 1-    1947 Riots- Several riots erupted after the partition of India in 1947.

Date- February 6, 1947, at 7h 37m 30s at New Delhi

The 10^th house= 7s-13° 12` 10”, The 8<sup>th</sup> house= 5s- 05° 30` 17”

The 4^th house is occupied by Rahu. The 4^th lord at the Gemini sign in the Navamsa is ruled by the 8^th lord, Mercury. The ascendant lord, Saturn, is in the 6^th house with the 6^th lord, Moon.

The Patyayini period was Mars, followed by the Sun, both are posited in the 12^th house.

1-    Direct Action Day- Also known as the 1946 Calcutta Killings, it was a day of nationwide communal riots. Calling for Direct Action Day, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the leader of the All India Muslim League, said that he wanted 'either a divided India or a destroyed India'.

The Calcutta Riots of 1946, also known as the “Great Calcutta Killing,” were four days of massive Hindu-Muslim riots in the capital of Bengal, India, resulting in 5,000 to 10,000 dead and some 15,000 wounded between August 16 and 19, 1946. 

Annual Date- February 6, 1946, at 01h 29m 20s at New Delhi

The 4^th lord Saturn is retrograde, with Rahu also joining the violent planet Mars, a more occupied sign belongs to the 8^th house, having sign exchange with it as a 3^rd lord. The ascendant lord, Mars, is also not in a happy mood with Rahu and the enemy planet, Saturn, in the sign ruled by the 8^th house.

The Patyayini period was ruled by the combust 8^th lord Mercury, and the sub-period was ruled by Mars, having several blemishes in the chart.

Though the riots occurred throughout India, they were mainly centered in the Kolkata region. So, let us see the annual chart of Kolkata (22° 34` 03” N, 88° 22` 12” E). The zodiac sign of Kolkata is Leo 4s- 13° 20`.

Date- August 30, 1945, at 10h 52m 25s at Kolkata, Time zone was +6h 30m

The 4^th lord, Saturn, is with Rahu and Mars. I think the position of the Moon in the 6-8-12^th is also not good in any annual chart.

1-    2002 Gujarat Riots- was three days of inter-communal violence in the western Indian state of Gujarat. The burning of a train in Godhra on 27 February 2002, which caused the deaths of 58 Hindu pilgrims and karsevaks returning from Ayodhya, is cited as having instigated the violence.

Let us see the annual chart of the state.

Annual Date- January 24, 2002, at 07h 05m 50s at Gandhinagar, 23° 13` 12” N, 72° 39` 18” E

The zodiacal sign of the state is Capricorn 9s- 10° 00`

(Prepare charts yourself with Lahiri Ayanamsa)

The Navamsa sign occupied by Ketu is Aries, which belongs to the annual 4^th house. The 4^th lord, Mars, is in the 3^rd house in Rasi and the 8^th house in the Navamsa chart. The 4^th house from the Navamsa ascendant is occupied by retrograde Saturn. The annual ascendant Capricorn is the same as the natal sign of the state and is occupied by the 6^th and 8^th lords, Mercury and Sun. The Moon is also trine to the natal sign of the state with Saturn.

The Patyayini Dasa of Lagna and the sub-periods belong to the Moon and Mars, mainly Mars. The ascendant is weak due to the position of the 8^th lord, Sun, and its lord, Saturn, being in retrograde motion. The Moon is with Saturn, and Mars is the 4^th lord, ill posited in both Vargas.

1-    1958 Anti-Tamil Pogrom- The 1958 anti-Tamil pogrom and riots in Ceylon refer to the first island-wide ethnic riots and pogrom to target the minority Tamils in the Dominion of Ceylon. The riots lasted from 22 May until 29 May 1958.

Annual Date- June 21, 1957, at 20h 09m 42s at Colombo, 06° 54` N and 79° 53` E; Time zone +5h 30m

The zodiacal sign of the country is Gemini 2s-06° 40`

(Prepare charts yourself with Lahiri Ayanamsa)

The 10^th house= 6s-08° 10` 16”, The 8<sup>th</sup> house=4s-03° 39` 31”

The 4^th house is occupied by Ketu. The 4^th lord Mars is weak at the sign of debility, and Virgo Navamsa within the aspect of Rahu, is influenced by the weak combination of Movable and Dual sign pairing. The ascendant Capricorn is in the 8^th place from the natal zodiac sign of the country.

It was the Venus-Sun period according to Patyayini Dasa. Venus and the Sun both are posited in the 6^th house, and the Sun is as an 8^th lord.

1-    Black July- On the night of 24 July 1983, anti-Tamil rioting started in the capital city of Colombo and then spread to other parts of the country. Over seven days, mainly Sinhalese mobs attacked, burned, looted, and killed Tamil civilians. Estimates of the death toll range between 400 and 3,000,^[15] and 150,000 people became homeless.^[16][17] According to Tamil Center for Human Rights (TCHR), the total number of Tamils killed in the Black July pogrom was 5,638.

Annual Date- June 20, 1983, at 11h 53m 31s at Colombo 

(Prepare charts yourself with Lahiri Ayanamsa)

The 4^th house is in severe affliction in both Vargas. In the Rasi chart, it is occupied by Ketu and within the aspect of Saturn, Mars, and the Sun. In the Navamsa, it is again occupied by Ketu and within the aspect of Mars. The 4^th lord Jupiter retrograde posited in the 3^rd house at another sign of the 8^th lord Mars. The ascendant Virgo is from the 4^th place, and its Navamsa Capricorn is from the 8^th place from the natal zodiac sign of the country. As much as this chart is corrupted, in the same way, there was violence against Tamils in these riots. The Patyayini period was under the influence of Saturn-Saturn at that time. Saturn is aspecting the 4^th house as a 6^th lord.

Moradabad Riots 1980-

A judicial commission report on the 1980 Moradabad riots, which was presented after 40 years in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly on Tuesday, has given a clean chit to the BJP and RSS (Deccan Herald, August 9, 2023).

The violence that began on August 13, 1980, at the Eidgah in Moradabad town, continued in Sambhal, Aligarh, Bareilly, Allahabad (now Prayagraj), and the rural areas of Moradabad until early 1981- Indian Express.

Let us see the astrological cause in the annual chart of the state.

Annual Date- December 16, 1979, at 09h 14m 24s at Lucknow (26° 51` 00” N, 80° 54` 36” E)

The zodiacal sign of the state is Scorpio 7s-30° 00`

(Prepare the charts yourself with Lahiri Ayanamsa)

The 4^th lord, Mars, is in the 8^th house with Rahu, and the 4^th house is occupied by the Gulika. The 4-8-12^th position of the Gulika always proves harmful even in the Muhurta chart, as I have seen in many cases. Here, it is bad in both divisions. The ascendant Capricorn is the 3^rd, and its Navamsa Aquarius is the 4^th from the natal sign Scorpio. The Moon at sign Libra is the 12^th from the natal sign of the state.

The Patyayini period was of the Moon and the sub-period ruled by planets Mercury, Jupiter, and Mars.
