Saturn turned direct just this morning thus gaining strength to take forward all its intrinsic portfolios. As far as Indian politics is concerned, I hope esteemed readers would probably agree with me that many political events were foretold and some could just touching the outer periphery in terms of time frame and impact.

The bickering in all major political parties is now in the public domain. The Astrological compass pointing towards indications of Dharma prevailing, contextually, is not yet perceptible to our satisfaction. The main reason being until July 14, Jupiter, though exalted was transiting in the Badhaka rasi from Saturn which was also retrograde since March 14. The moment Mars entered Gemini on June 16 we witnessed a lot of political turmoil but still nothing much happened with the seriousness that we were expecting. Jupiter entering Leo on July 14 is indeed an excellent point and Saturn direct today is sure to excite Jupiter with its 10^th aspect.

Saturn which turned retrograde on March 14 was then transiting in 4^th amsa of Scorpio viz., Libra, the 6^th sign of Indian Independence chart and now it is getting direct in Leo, the 2^nd amsa of Scorpio. This conveys that all matters regarding 6^th, 5^th and 4^th Bhava of India will surely get revised. Interestingly, the 4^th bhava stands for termination (of power?) apart from a host of other points in Astrology. In this context, let us note that we lost an excellent People’s President Dr.Abdul Kalaam when Jupiter was about to move from the badhaka amsa to 2^nd amsa. Jupiter stands for elderly, scholarly etc., while in the 2^nd amsa until August 15, it is quite likely that senior politicians are under problem, may be health or external threat. The Astrological reason being Jupiter the lord of 8^th (and 11^th) of India transiting in the 4^th house and in amsa transiting in 2^nd amsa of 4^th sign may not be good.

Mercury enters Leo on August 4 at 1802 hrs IST and this will surely set the ground for further war of words between political parties. Further, Jupiter enters the 3^rd amsa of Leo on August 15 at 0222 hrs which will be detrimental to the Government and then every passing hour from then will be a litmus test for it. On August 17 at 1227 hrs, Sun enters its own sign Leo and this means that in Leo there will be four planets viz., Jupiter, retrograde Venus (the Lagna lord of India), Mercury and Sun. Perhaps mega events towards restoration of some moral and ethical values in governance will show its head up.
