Month of August for you

By Acharya Raman

The month of August is starting with following planetary placements:

Rahu (Ascending Lunar Node) is currently transiting in Libra with Saturn. As we can see in the chart, Rahu is the most prominent planet this month as all the major planets are in its Star and Rahu will be in its own Star Swati. Rahu is naturally a malefic planet and is also called dragon`s head. Swati is a female dual constellation whose Deity is Vayu and nature is kapha (phlegmatic). Rahu is in conjunction with Saturn, which is another malefic and delaying planet. It is said that Libra is a sign of balance and justice. I do not agree to it, the natural calamity at Uttarakhand happened in this period only. It is a sign of imbalanced nature. India celebrates Independence this month. The 6th house of Indian Independence chart is afflicted by Rahu and Saturn currently. Rahu is in 6th sign from natal Indian Horoscope which is a malefic house. But luckily from Moon and Ascendant, Rahu is transiting in Mitra and Kshema constellations. Therefore, I hope that Independence Day celebrations will not bring us bad news of militant activities. On 19th August, Mars will transit to Cancer which is its sign of debilitation. It will aspect Rahu and Saturn in Libra and Saturn will aspect Mars. This transit of Mars will cause accidents, mass deaths, barbaric activities, and increase in terrorist activities universally. The dates 3rd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 23rd, 24th, and 27th, 28th August should be watched for news worldwide.
