Mars-Ketu conjunction

If you wonder about the recent strange events, like the fire in the Universal Studios or crazy pyroman burning 20 cars in Moscow or US army killing own allies in Pakistan, note that Mars in Leo is approaching conjunction with Ketu.

This transit is less heavy & long than Saturn-Ketu conjunction, but it is quite dramatic and violent, especially so because of the fiery nature of Leo.

It would be silly to list all the recent fires and tornados, and any opponent would point that there are always accidents around the world. However, Mars-Ketu should produce rather weird and noticeable events; therefore do not be surprised in the next week or two.

Since this is the time of Euro08, there might be fans’ clashes with unusual violence as well.

Later in June, Mars will be separating from Ketu and coming to Saturn. That time, a powerful earthquake is plausible. But locating it is another, more difficult task.

As Cardano said in his aphorism on weather, “whenever Saturn is joined to the Sun, the heat is remitted and the cold increased, which alone may be a sufficient testimony of the truth of Astrology”. I can only add that transits like the current one of Mars with Ketu too confirm the truth of the art. Watch the news.

UPDATE of June 30.

Just 2 days after the post on June 12, an earthquake of magnitude 7.5 occurred in Japan. The mean return interval for earthquakes above 7.5 is about 100 days, globally. It means that such a powerful earthquake happens once in three months or more, on average. Moreover, since the transit involving Saturn has not finished yet, I expect there will be another one, also powerful.

Let's look at other world events that happened in two weeks since I wrote the post about Mars-Ketu conjunction. Yes, accidents happen everywhere around the globe - let's look at the "unusual". There was a fire in the Universal Studios – that was unusual, because fire alarm systems in industrial estates (especially so famous and significant) are usually advanced. Yet, it burnt out. Then there was a series of car burns in Moscow, some crazy pyroman did it just for fun, dozens of cars in the capital. Then something worse started: ignited by dry lightning forest fires in California (later the same happened in Sakhalin). This is why I warned about the conjunction of Mars and Ketu (Ketu symbolically "amplifies" the power of the malefic). As now Mars is approaching Saturn (symbolic significator of ground and falls), I expect there might be landslides in relevant areas.

Furthermore, there was an unusual number of fires and explosions in factories (for instance, GoodYear factory incident, several factories and mines in Russia). Then there were massive floods (India, Mexico, China, Iova), and, in particular, in the central Russia – very unusual for this time of year. Also strikes, prison clashes (UK and Russia). When Moon joined North Node in opposition with Mars-Ketu, a ferry drown in Philippines (700 died) – Moon in mundane affairs signifies people (crowd) and Mars is violence – so this happened exactly on their opposition, with nodes, June 22.

Regarding my prediction of problems related to Euro08, first there were clashes with police and later, when Russia won the game with Holland, drunk happy fans run their cars at crazy speed and crashed – 11 died in one night. Later, due to the storm (Mars means violence, remember?) people in German stadium were evacuated and some got injuries. The Euro08 final took place yesterday, June 29, - under square of Moon (crowd) on Algol (the most evil star in the zodiac) with Mars (violence). The main violent events took place not in Vienna but in Madrid: 90 injured, 80 local fires, police had to use rubber bullets again (this information is from the Russian article)

I do not mention multiple local fires all around the world, nor do I list earthquakes like 6.5 which are more frequent now. Greek ferry evacuated on June 28 was, fortunately, only slightly damaged.

As fires are mentioned, for those who are in California during this harmful transit, I wish that smoke, dry lightning and massive forest fires affect neither them nor their family. I hope they just illustrate how powerful and straightforward the celestial influence.

Hello Valerie,
I am Rajeev and am a frequent visitor to Sri K. N. Rao's website from where I got to know about your blog.
I have doubt about this conjuction of Mars and Ketu..is it occuring in Cancer or Leo?I think it is in Cancer and the conjuction in Leo would be of Mars and Saturn later this year.Please clarify.

Hello Rajeev,

Nice to meet you.

I wrote that post on Ketu-Mars in western zodiac, and I am going to add an update when the transit is finishing, by the end of June.

I already have a list of unusual accidents, fires, etc., including a 7-magnitude earthquake in Japan.

So, do not be confused: this is not about a Jyotish constellation. When I write about Jyotish, I cast square Indian charts.

Thank you for visiting.

Ammachi (www.amma.org) asked for prayers for the welfare of all creatures and for the earth a few days ago due to this configuration. I believe this is the configuration that occurred during the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster in 2003 and the events on 9-11-2001. Highly malefic and inauspicious from what I understand. Good to pray for peace right now. Also, I understand that Mars-Ketu conjunction corresponds to Jupiter-Pluto opposition in Western astrology.

Hello Ammachi,

Good point about two events, Shuttle disaster and 9/11: they both have close conjunction Mars-Ketu, I've just checked.

I am not sure about Pluto, because I usually use seven planets and only occasionally Uranus and Neptune, so I cannot say. Opposition with Jupiter does not sound that dramatic though. Anyway, this issue requires further research.

Thank you for your comment!
