Coming back – Rahu conjunction Mars – Walking towards the forest – Applied Vedic Astrology

Eye on the sky: Mars conjunct Rahu till 10th August.

As we are approaching Rahu conjunct Mars, we need to review it. The energy will be most intense when they are in the same position of Navamsa or D9, Scorpio (Aries 23.20-26.40). This is also an ashtamansa pada as there is an 8 relationship from Aries to Scorpio and it brings to the fore deeply transformative and stuck issues. Mars goes to that section July 31-August 6 Hence this is the most intense period of transit, especially if your birth chart has planes of 23-27 Aries or Libra.

Rahu, the planet of desire and ambition will combine with Mars, the planet of action 6 august in the mean node system and August 1 In True Node system depends on whether you use True Node or Mean Node system. , When they are within 3 degrees of each other, there is a strong influence and will be in effect from July 29 to August 10. The outer planet, Uranus, which is associated with unforeseen events, Mars will mix with Uranus. August 1, Given that all of this is happening in the volatile sign of Aries, where violence and war and aggression can escalate, we get a formula for riots, explosions, earthquakes and volcanoes. In past years, the stock market has gone higher during Mars Uranus and Mars/Rahu conjunctions, so this year will depend on whether there are any real X-factor events in the world.

Mars and Rahu in Aries will provoke crazy events around sports competitions. Expect more baseball brawls on the field and at pre-season football games. It will also create drama and tension in military around the world and push military leaders to become more aggressive. In the past, we have seen this combination lead to great civil unrest and riots.

The transit creates great energy to act, move forward, and can release enormous amounts of energy but if people get in the way, it can easily lose its temper. The key to this transit is to take energy for creative purposes and channel it to create great inventions or technological advancements, but hasty or over-zealous or avoiding accidents and overwork can lead to adrenal stress. Be careful on the road because you will see that crazy drivers and people take wild risks because they are impatient.

Health wise, if you don’t slow down with this energy, blood pressure can rise, so be cautious and avoid reckless or crazy driving. Calm Mars and Father with less spicy food, more coconut water and milk, and more meditation. Warrior pose will balance Mars and allow it to be more focused.

Since Rahu acts like Saturn and is enemy of Mars, this aspect can be intense and difficult. This will promote outward courage but the Vata/Vayu element of Rahu can promote inner fear. There may be a tendency to reprimand carelessly so be cautious. If you have this aspect in your birth chart, it can promote career, athleticism and good achievement with adventure, but avoid carelessness and rashness which can lead to violence.

On an earthly level, this aspect can cause more political madness than usual as Mars is all about leadership and power and Rahu can spin politicians out of control to make hasty decisions.

On a spiritual level, Rahu/Mars can increase the courage to go through difficult spiritual challenges, as evident in the chart of Mahatma Gandhi, a great freedom fighter. This combination of Abraham Lincoln is also in his chart and both of them struggle with revolutionary thinking to change their world.

We have to think that the protesters in America and in the rest of the world are going to be stirred up by this aspect and will flare up a little more. We have already seen this in Sri Lanka and Panama. On a worldly level, we always have to worry about how much turmoil and protest there is in the world, and let’s hope that racial protest is peaceful. This aspect also suggests that we have to pray and meditate for the sake of the world as the terrorist or psychic energies will become a bit agitated.

On a personal level, slow down, get more rest. There will be adrenal ignition and if you run too much you will feel exhausted. Still, there will be energy to achieve a lot and push through huge boulders and projects, so it will at least destabilize you.

Effects on your personal chart

If you have major planets 22-26 degrees Aries or Libra, you can see the effect more dramatic. If you are in the period of Rahu/Mars or Mars/Rahu then it can bring a big event. Be careful not to be too aggressive in driving and be alert towards the other person to avoid accidents. Avoid pushing yourself beyond your abilities in the gym or in competition to avoid injuries or exhaustion. If arguments get heated, find ways to walk away and calm down rather than engage in a fight – unless it’s one that has to be fought.

Rise of Aries and Rise of Libra or Moon can feel the most impact. Avoid making impulsive decisions- especially around break ups and take those decisions after 12th August when things calm down. Because Rahu has 30 degrees full vision Taurus is growing And Moon signs, some of the above may apply and then relationship conflicts may spread around money and family so be patient. Gemini Rising and Moon Worry about angry fights with friends and older siblings or rampant anger around groups. Stay away from riots. Virgo Rise and Moon This will happen in their 8th houses and are vulnerable to accidents and hospitalization if difficult conditions are going on which can lead to such incidents. Cancer Rise and Moon Signs may face conflicts and arguments at work so make sure not to fly off the handle. lion rising and moon One has to look at the anger towards advisors, priests and gurus and religious establishments and remember that more suspicion is being created by Rahu, which confuses matters. Scorpio Rise and Moon One has to be careful about health as Rahu/Mars in 6th house may cause surgery or health crisis or may be mad about enemies or take a lot of debt. Sagittarius Rising and Moon Seeing impulsive and hasty actions around investing or being overly angry with your children. Capricorn Rising and Moon One should avoid hasty and impulsive decisions about buying a new vehicle or home and try to wait till the energy gets better after 12th August without doing all the research on them. Aquarius Rising and Moons Fighting or general aggression with siblings is coming to the fore. As the primal mind takes over, sexual energies bubble up and spiral out of control. Pisces Rising and Moon One has to beware of aggressive speech and anger towards family.

My friend Muhammad Imran made a list of qualities that you can have if you have Mars/Rahu relation in your birth chart. These qualities are also controlled by the sign/constellation/aspect. (See: https://ift.tt/NQiWueV).

The more negative qualities Mars/Rahu have, they will get agitated, but you should also be aware of the more positive qualities, if Mars and Rahu are well positioned in your birth chart:

1) Sharp and photogenic appearance
2) Athletic enthusiasm, crazy sports pro
3) a penchant for guns, gadgets and smoking
4) Reckless driving, and auto-accessories and designs
5) Traffic Violations, Accidents, and Bone-fractures
6) Multiple adventure tours, running, mugging
