DETECTING SWINE FLU OUTBREAK ASTROLOGICALLY
Written byJayasree Saranathan,Published in the Astrological Magazine, October, 2009Can also be read in the link http://www.astrologicalmagazine.com/ One of the sociological goals of astrology is to warn and prepare mankind well inadvance about the outbreak of a calamity or an epidemic of a killer variety. In thismodern world that is in the nature of a global village, many new types of calamities arecoming up every now and then. The impact and spread of these calamities are feltglobally throwing up new challenges to investigative astrology. The Wall Street impactof a global financial melt down that started last year when Mercury went intoretrogression in Virgo is a classic example of how an event outside one’s country cancascade into tsunamic proportions and drown other countries too, where the eventoriginally did not take place.Today we in India are in the brink of braving another global calamity in the form of swine flu epidemic. The tasks of astrology are therefore always there for us to be on thealert all the time. Should astrology be a mute science unable to predict this outbreak  before hand? No it should not be and it cannot be. Maharishis have given us a vastliterature in Samhitas that cover everything under the sun. Thinking on the lines of Medhini Jyothisha, we are not in paucity of tools of astrology to predict the kind of epidemic that we are now faced with. This article precisely deals with such tools that arehelpful in predicting the calamities of the kind of swine flu outbreak.To begin with, we have to see the current year globally when the sun entered zerodegrees Aries, the point where it was at the time the Chathur Mahayuga started. Thecelestial map when sun entered Aries on 13-04-2009 (IST 12.47 am, 14-04-2009) isgiven below.

The 2
nd
and 7
th
lord Venus is a Maarak for Aries. But it is in the 12
th
making it auspicious (Bhavartha Ratnakara 1-7). In this chart Venus is not auspicious because it has gone into retrogression in the 12
th
. So its Maarak properties are retained.Mars as lagna lord and lord of the 8
th
is in 11
th
aspected by the 10
th
and 11
th
lord Saturnfrom an inimical sign.Jupiter also turns a Maarak for Aries, for it is in the 10
th
from Aries (Bhavartha Ratnakara1-3), in its sign of debility and conjoined with Rahu.It is important to note here that Mercury, the lord of the 6
th
(diseases) is in the lagna withthe sun and is just relieved of combustion. Mercury, who has the lordship of the 3
rd
housealso, is in the asterism of the Maarak Venus (Bharani). The 6
th
house receives the aspectof the 8
th
lord Mars and also aspect of Jupiter from the 10
th
. Thus it is seen that the 6
th
house is considerably afflicted for the world as a whole. Had Mercury been combust atthe time of New Year solar chart, we can expect an eclipse of this affliction by the Sun.But that is not to be so. The spread of some fatal disease is therefore indicated.
Identifying the disease.
 
Let us see the kind of disease the afflicted 6
th
house is capable of giving. We usually go by the parts of the body indicated by Kala purusha for prediction of diseases for anindividual. Here the prediction is for the world as a whole. The Solar chart must thereforecover all living things and not just man. We have two indicators in Astrology todetermine the other sources. One is the Dhaatu- Moola – Jeeva indicators of planets asgiven in texts like Jinedramala and the other is the forms of animals associated withdifferent signs as given in the Ayadhi varga of the vaasthu shastra.If we go by the Jeeva indicators, the planet Mars is the signifactor for pigs. The inimicalaspect of Mars on Virgo indicates an affliction connected to pigs. In this connection wecan find an interesting relevance from western astrology too. The planet Neptuneplays animportant role in causing epidemics. It is seen that whenever Neptune joins Saturn in Leoor opposes it from Aquarius, epidemics had broken out. In this year chart, the oppositionof Neptune and Saturn is there. In addition, the close encounter of Neptune with Marsalso has happened at the dawn of the Solar New Year. Neptune at 15-05 degreesAquarius was crossed by Mars a few days before the start of the New Year. Mars assignifactor of the jeeva- pig has thus received an additional malfeasance from Neptune.Coming to the Ayadhi vargas, the animal indicators of this system seems to be definitelyreliable.Standard texts of vaasthu such as Samaaraangana soothradaara and Aparaajitha preechado indicate certain forms for the signs, as how the signs are indicated by the limbs of kaalapurusha in general horoscopy.The Ayadhi varga indicators can be depicted as below (this chart is used in prasna also)SIGNSVARGAAries, TaurusDwajaGemini DhumraCancer, LeoSimhaVirgoSvanaLibra, ScorpioVrishabhaSagittariusKharaCapricorn, AquariusGajaPiscesKakaThe form of Virgo is ‘svaana’ - thedog. Virgo also stands for farmanimals such as pigs in the western astrology. Pigs go with dogs as farm animal and other
