According to Vedic Astrology calculations, Saturn moved to Virgo 0n 09.09.2009. Of the 12 houses that Saturn transits in his thirty year cycle, his passage through the fifth and the eighth house from the Moon is most vexing. In the fifth he causes financial losses and poor judgment. In the eighth house he causes dishonor, losses, misfortunes, miseries, accidents and death.
Interestingly Saturn is passing through the fifth house of President Obama and through the eighth house of The horoscope of United States. This has important consequences on the domestic and foreign policy of the US. The houses mentioned for this transit are taken from the Moon sign and we shall take it to be so in the rest of the article also.
In president Obama' s chart, Saturn now begins to transit the fifth house from Moon. He creates a number of challenges when passing through the fifth house. The first casualty is the emotional and intellectual state of the person. Planning neither matures nor becomes successful. Mr. Obama will feel these results more potently as Saturn has no Ashtak Varga point in the fifth house from Moon in his chart. We can expect vacillation and somewhat amazing mutations of ideas and policies. Domestic and foreign policy will be fuzzy, the idea being to make quick fixes. Long term planning will be put on the back burner. As Saturn advances into Virgo, the grasp of the president on public approval will become tenuous and he will try to regain it by promises and assurances he won't be able to keep. This is not a reflection on his decency and honesty but helplessness in the face of inevitability.
His married life passes through a tough time. This is also reinforced by the state of the seventh house of marriage. The first born of the president may experience indifferent health and emotionally difficult period.
Saturn aspects the eleventh house of gain as well as the second house of wealth and so causes financial challenges. This is universal and the President will not escape unscathed. His personal fortunes may cause him some worry.
Saturn transits through second, third and fourth Pada of Uttara Phalguni, all four Pada of Hasta and the first two Pada of Chitra Nakshatra (Constellation).
Uttara Phalguni is ruled by Sun, while Moon rules over Hasta and Mars over Chitra. None of these planets are friendly to Saturn. It will therefore be a bumpy ride.
The combined effect of Jupiter and Saturn falls on the sixth and ninth houses in Mr. Obama's charts. Both become energized and events connected to these are likely to occur.
There is a possibility of dissension with in the core group of supporters and some changes might be made in the inner circle. Economy and foreign policy will not come under control. Saturn's transit through the eighth house in US chart will interfere. Opposition to president's policies will become more strident. Afghan policy will misfire. He should be extra careful about his safety between May 11, 2010 and October 31, 2011.
Between July 05 and November 05, 2010 there will be a distinct leaning towards charity and spiritual pursuits.
In the chart of USA Saturn transits the eighth house from Moon where he gets only two Ashtak Varga points. His results will be decidedly unfavorable. Eighth house in a nation's horoscope rules over death rate, deaths from epidemics and disease, underground wealth, medical research, national mourning, disease control and health services. Saturn's transit is likely to act as a trigger in activating related incidents.
The last transit of Saturn through the eighth house of US horoscope took place from November 04, 1979 to October 08, 1982. Let us take a close look at some main events that happened during this period.
The Iran Hostage Crisis 1979-1981
On November 4, 1979, Iranian militants stormed the United States Embassy in Tehran and took approximately seventy Americans captive. This terrorist act triggered the most profound crisis of the Carter presidency and began a personal ordeal for Jimmy Carter and the American people that lasted 444 days. Operation Eagle Claw was mounted on April 26, 1980; President Carter ordered the use of six US transport planes and eight helicopters in an unsuccessful attempt to rescue American hostages being held in Iran. Two helicopters collided and were destroyed resulting in many deaths.
Three-Mile Island Nuclear Plant
Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station is a civilian nuclear power plant located on Three Mile Island in the Susquehanna River, in Londonderry Township, Dauphin County, south of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, United States. On March 29, 1979, the plant suffered a partial meltdown. According to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the accident resulted in no deaths or injuries to plant workers or members of nearby communities a contention which is disputed by some academics, journalists and local residents. The plant came perilously close to becoming a major threat to life and environment.
The Jonestown Tragedy
914 people - all members of a cult - committed "revolutionary' suicide by drinking cyanide laced punch. 1979 Afghanistan
Afghanistan involvement
On July 03, 1979 President Carter took first step in getting US involved in Afghanistan to aid the freedom struggle of Mujahideen against Russian occupation. It was also involved in the invasion of Granada. It was during this transit on March 30, 1981 that there was an assignation attempt on President Ronald Reagan. The El Salvador and Libyan crisis also happened in the same time frame.
It is thus clear that the last transit of Saturn through the eighth house in US horoscope brought about unhappy situations.
This time around, losses in Afghanistan will go north forcing Obama to lower the number of boots on the ground in that country. Policy of buying out warlords to reduce terrorism will prove counterproductive. It's ultimate beneficiary will be the terror machine so tantalizing close and yet so far! An epidemic is likely to cause loss of life. Deaths due to terrorism are not ruled out either. September 11, 2001 happened when Saturn was aspecting the eighth house.
Saturn aspects the second house from the eighth, the financial crisis will linger on. Stock market and other indices of wealth remain lethargic. Use of public funds to bail out big business will prove a bad prescription. The current situation will really improve only when Saturn leaves Virgo after thirty months.
The houses energized by combined Jupiter and Saturn transit are the seventh and tenth. Seventh house deals with the foreign policy and the tenth with Statecraft. Both will witness energetic efforts which may not come to fruition. Governance and foreign policy will struggle against challenges thrown at it. Armed forces may be required in a place other than Afghanistan.
The president will be severely tested both as a man and as a leader. For the sake of peace let us pray that he emerges successful from this ordeal.
