While going through some current transits, A particular transit caught my eye. Ma ke is Scorpio. Ma ke is usually not a desirable combo, in general. Violent explosion is something that always comes to my mind for years now when I see this combo. Alas, it came true when we lost some souls including India's Chief of Defence Staff, in a chopper crash.
Further, Something that worried me was Mars's transit in Gandanta. Gandanta are highly sensitive points in Zodiac and complex placements for planets. The Gandanta points are the end of Watery signs and start of Fiery signs [About 27 Degrees to 3.20 Degrees]. So we have Gandanta points Between Cancer-Leo, Scorpio-Sagi and Pisces-Aries.
Point to consider here is that India's is Taurus Lagna and Mars is a prime malefic for Taurus and when he is not well placed or under pressure, things heat up. Other problematic point is that Venus, India's Lagnesh is hemmed between malefics, and in Jyotisha this placement is called 'Paap Kartari'. ]See 'Shu' in the above pic]. A similar Paap Kartari also occurs on 2nd Jan , which is also an Amavasya.
On 13th Jan, Mars starts entering the Gandanta of Jyestha. Jyestha as the name suggest is an Elder one. Can be considered as people who are Veterans in their field. Senior Officials, Leaders,Artists. Then it will travel into deep Gandanta of last degree of Scorpio and starting degrees of Dhanu in coming days covering Moola gandanta. Detrimental Malefic Transits here can shake the "Roots". On 14th, Mo-Ra combo occurs in lagna. Moon is the Adhipati of Cancer and remember a lot of Planets occupy this Sign in India's Natal chart.
Together with Retro Shukra, who is in Paap Kartari, the transit looks ominous.
All we can do is be responsible, Be alert. Do all that is positive.
May Maa's Tej protect Bharata.
Gurudev Datt!
