strology is about timing. It

is the study of space and
time based on the cycles and
patterns of the planets in relation to
human behaviour and world events.
Many have asked me to work on the
prediction of world events, but the
inspiration came from a very special Vedic
astrologer in Varanasi, India. He said I
must make world predictions, which I am
so respectfully following his suggestion.
There are no coincidences and my meeting
with this man of great wisdom and the
information that has come through recently
is very humbling.
All astrologers are alerted to the current
eclipses about to take place this year. The
May 9th solar eclipse is conjunct Mars
opposed Saturn. The fact that this eclipse
occurs in Aries concerns astrologers all the
more for this is the sign of war.
Many past events occurred

concerning war and nuclear war when Saturn conjoined Rahu. Saturn and Rahu come together
every 11 years. Each time there was an outbreak of war and contention concerning hostility
bringing forth world events with social upheaval.

1945: Saturn conjunct Rahu in Gemini, Bombing of Hiroshima

1956: Saturn conjunct Rahu in Scorpio, Civil rights amendment, pandemic kills 4 million
1968: Saturn conjunct Rahu in Pisces, Assassinations of Martin Luther King JR and Robert
Kennedy, Viet Nam War, My Lai massacre
1979: Saturn conjunct Rahu in Leo, Iran revolution, oil crises, US embassy in Teheran held
hostages (movie Argo)
1991: Saturn conjunct Rahu in Capricorn, Gulf war (Dessert Storm), Los Angeles Riots,
assassination of Rajiv Gandhi in India
2002: Saturn conjunct Rahu in Taurus, Iraq war, Bombing in Bali, reporter Daniel Pearl
murdered
And now we have Saturn conjunct Rahu in Libra, the last time Saturn conjoined Rahu in Libra
was 1865, Lincoln was assassinated and the Civil War peaked and ended.
So what can we expect this year of 2013 with Saturn conjunct Rahu in Libra? There will
definitely be a crises involving war, possibly nuclear war.
With the onset of North Korea making threats of nuclear war I began looking at the charts of
this violent country. The way in which we make our predictions is to look to the birth charts
of each country to focalize where and when these attacks are to be predicted.
I predicted the earthquake of Japan BEFORE it happened. Many astrologers claim predictive
power after the events, which is useless information. I have a Japanese website I make
predictions for monthly and study the birth chart of Japan.
The chart that Vedic astrologers always analyze when looking at a birth chart is the
Navamsha.
* The birth chart will be referred to as the rashi or natal chart in this article.
Many western astrologers cannot understand how to incorporate this chart into a reading. It
can be viewed like the western progressed chart because the navamsha chart is what we
become in our life. Even though it is not a chart that is progressing or changing it is said to be
the second part of life. It is the 9th division of the birth chart.
