Alternate Perspective on COVID-19

We have suddenly found ourselves at home with abundant time on our hands and not much to do; courtesy Covid-19. This Pandemic has overtaken the whole world in just 3 months. At the beginning of this year, did any one of us imagined that the most precious thing to buy and store would be Toilet Paper? ….. These three months have been an eye opener for our human race, with no vaccine in sight and no cure available, it is struggle to remain safe and survive this event with least collateral damage. Doctors and Healthcare professionals are doing their best, pharmaceutical companies are trying to figure out a vaccine as well as cure, CDC and WHO have given their guidelines, Governments are taking elaborate actions to prevent its spread.

I was also anxious and wondering what could be reason for such an inexplainable event to occur, create such a panic worldwide, impact on our life big way and how long this is going to last. Being a student of astrology, my mind drifted towards researching the situation through astrology and see if I can find any answers or at least some directions.

I typically follow a simple 3 step methodology,

1. See the planetary positions and changes that might have occurred in the near past and which are likely to take place in near future
2. We look at impact of this position on one another and check if there is any combination which could lead to a mass impact event and determine what kind of event it could be
3. What could be trigger for such event to manifest? Although the planetary positions might indicate certain events but they will occur only under very specific conditions called as trigger. Once trigger happens, the event manifests itself and we all see its impact

One of the key change in planetary positions I found was connected with north node i.e Rahu and south node i.e ketu.  Rahu has moved from Cancer to Gemini and Ketu from Capricorn to Sagittarius in March 2019. This was important change because, “Rahu” is responsible for germs that are invisible to eyes could be related to Covid-19 virus and   movement of Rahu from Cancer to Gemini, which is an airy sign, could have given strength to the virus.  Rahu is also posited in Ardra Nakshatra, where he is strong. This creates possibility of wide spread sorrow.

Ketu also moves along with Rahu so its impacts also need to be considered. Ketu brings out spiritual nature for mankind and pushes them to find true purpose of their life.  Ketu has moved from Capricorn to Sagittarius and finds Saturn sitting in Sagittarius signifying a combined effect. Saturn motivates an individual to work hard so when Ketu and Saturn come together the person works hard, detaches themselves from outcome and try to find their true selves according to their Karmic balances.

This was some kind of direction but not indication of a pandemic. However, on further analysis we find that six planets Ketu, Jupiter, Saturn, Sun, Moon and Venus have moved in to one house on Dec 26, 2019 and a Solar eclipse accompanying it. This unusual phenomenon is the trigger I was looking for as in past such a situation has created a significant event with unfavorable global impact on mankind.  e.g. 9/11 in 2001, Aids epidemic declared by CDC in 1982, Assassination of President Kennedy in 1963, in 1945 WW II ends after bombing of Hiroshima. Scholars have mentioned that such planetary positions come every 18-20 years, this time it seems to be Covid-19 pandemic due to Rahu in play.

In the end of January 2020 Saturn changed signs and went into Capricorn which is universe’s 10^th house and from here he aspected the 4^th house of the Universe. The 10^th house represents our work or career or any Karma which we do and 4^th house represents our homes. This connects well with the situation where we are all forced to work from home to stay safe from contracting the deadly virus and trying to protect our families.

Now the puzzle was solved regarding why, but my curiosity kept me pushing to find out what is going to happen next 

As per my research, some Positive changes in few planets are coming in near future and will help us in fighting the Pandemic situation. I found 4 planetary positions and lets see what they say,

1. March 22- May 4, Mars is exalted in Capricorn with Jupiter and Saturn will provide the needed courage to be positive, protect our bodies, our resources and face things boldly with being constantly active with some good work.
2. Jupiter changes signs on March 29 which will help us be calm, think of ways to eat healthy, protect our families and keep our mind posited on God or the almighty or nature.
3. April 13- May 14 Sun gets exalted, the planet Sun is responsible for good health and will enable us to build our immunity to successfully fight this virus – i.e. if we make effort, we will get success.
4. On May 20 Rahu is changing constellation from Adhra to Mrigashira Nakshatra, which signifies that there may be a breakthrough in finding a vaccine or alternative therapy to help us out of this pandemic.

These are significant indications that we all will come out of this pandemic but let us focus on taking all the precautions that are necessary and stay safe.
