Phulwama Attack Analysis

Yesterday’s cowardly & spineless attack by terrorists sponsored by our enemies, at Phulwama on CRPF Personnel prompted me to study the Aries Ingress of 2018 and the Aquarius Ingress of January 20, 2019 with respect to the Natal & Progressed Charts of Independent India. 

In the Aries Ingress of March 20, 2018, a Fixed Sign is seen rising, suggesting its validity for the entire year. The Ascendant Scorpio 13°16’ falls on the fixed star Zubenelgenubbi- warning of malevolence & violence. At the same time, with respect to India’s Natal Chart the 6^th House is rising. The Ascendant Lord- Pluto (Capricorn 21°)is in 3^rd House and is in applying Square aspect to Mercury (Aries 16°) the Ingress 8^th Lord and Venus (Aries 17°) Ingress 7^th, 12^th Lord. This ingress Pluto is Quincunx to Natal Sun & Progressed Saturn (Leo 21° - 9^th Lord). Thus a stressful situation forewarning of mass destruction/violence carried out by secret or open enemies or even neighbouring countries cannot be ruled out.

Also except the North Node all other planets/points are in the Northern Hemisphere, thus finding it difficult as a nation to be at the forefront and be assertive. It’s a bucket like formation with the outlet being provided by the north node suggesting out of box thinking and approach (A Karmic Theme).

The Co-Lord of the Ascendant i. e. Mars (Capricorn 1°42’) is forming a Square Aspect with Sun (Aries 0°). Mars and Sun respectively signify the Armed Forces and the rulers or Government. Thus, warning of tensions that are rooted deep within. Jupiter (Scorpio 23°) the Planet of Expansion, a Natural Benefic though Retrograde is in Ascendant. But this Jupiter falls over Progressed Mercury (Scorpio 21°), Progressed Ketu- (Scorpio 22°) and is squared by Natal Sun, Progressed Saturn (Leo 21°) & Progressed Rahu- (Taurus 22°). The 10^th House thus forms the Free-leg Point. This T-Square stimulates tension, conflict and being in fixed signs, a possibility of intensive situations. 

In the Aquarius Ingress Chart, Gemini is rising. It is the 8^th House of the Aries Ingress Chart and the 1^st House of India’s independence chart that is rising. Thus prima facie warning of sabotage, destruction, massacre in the country.  There is a Stellium in the 8^th House with the Ascendant Lord-Mercury in it along with 8^th Lord Saturn, natural 8^th Lord Pluto, South Node and the Sun. This Mercury (Capricon23°) is in Rahu- Ketu axis (Capricon-Cancer 26°) and forms a Cardinal T-square with Uranus (Aries28°-8^th Lord) known for its sudden activities. It also warns of direct confrontations. Another striking feature of this Ingress is that Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and the Nodes all are on critical degrees, highlighting a cosmic restraint and a feeling of being kept on a tight leash. On Super-imposing the Ingress chart, on Natal as well as the Progressed chart for 14th February 2019, the following features are highlighted.

1.     A Fiery Grand Trine is formed between Ingress Mars (Aries 13°) and Natal Saturn, Natal Pluto, Progressed Mars (Leo 13°) and Ingress Venus (Sagittarius 13°). This trine is uplifted by the Kite Aspect formed by Natal Meridian Cusp (Aquarius 14°) opposing the Saturn-Pluto-Mars trio.

2.     The Progressed Ascendant is conjunct Natal Mercury ( the Natal Ascendant Lord) thus highlighting Nation, its prestige, security and self-esteem.

3.     Progressed Mars (Leo13°) is conjunct Natal Saturn & Natal Pluto (exact) which are on the cusp of 4^th House cautioning of a secret destructive activity to harm the nation as a whole.

4.     The Progressed M.C- Aries 29° being on Anaretic degrees gives a strong drive for change in approach but is checked by opposing  Progressed Sun (Scorpio 1°-disconjunct aspect)

5.     Progressed Sun( Scorpio 1°) squares the Ingress Sun(Aquarius 0°)

6.     Progressed Moon (Pisces 6°) is Quincunx to Natal Mercury( Leo 6°) and Progressed Ascendant(Leo 5°53’)

7.     Progressed Mercury (Scorpio21°) is square to Natal Sun(Leo 21°).

8.     Progressed Saturn (Leo21°) is conjunct  Natal Sun(Leo 21°).

9.     The Ingress Pluto activated the Natal Sun, Progressed Saturn and Progressed Mercury, all being on same degrees. Similarly, the progressed Nodes activated the ingress Mercury.

10.   A Yod got activated as the Ingress Sun (Aquarius 0°) sextiled the Ingress Fortuna (Sagittarius 0°) and both of them were Quincunx to the Natal Mars (Cancer 0°). This featured a crisis and need for perspective in which the energy of these two sextiling planets i.e. Sun (authority, government) and Fortuna (well-being, luck factor) find difficulty integrating with the energy of the apex planet Mars (the Armed Forces).

11.   The Progressed Venus ( Scorpio 14°) squared the Natal Venus( Leo 15°).

A careful analysis of the above aspects highlight the stressful situation and warn of major hindrance/disturbance/mass violence thus putting the Government, the Armed Forces and the Nation as a whole on tenterhooks.

The anger, the feeling of helplessness prompted me to gaze into the near future through the study of upcoming Aries Ingress chart of March 2019.

Aquarius 3° is rising, thus showing fixity of purpose:

1.     The Ingress Ascendant lord Uranus is at Taurus 0° suggesting setting on a new path. It is in 3^rd house so perhaps a changed approach in handling relations with neighbouring countries.  It sextiles the natal Mars (Cancer 0°) and both are quincunx to the Progressed Jupiter (Sagittaruis 0°) thus activating an exact Yod. Hershel is known for suddenness, innovativeness and Mars signifies action. Thus this aspect calls for integrating these two energies and perhaps the stimulated restlessness may be controlled by Jupiterian wisdom like not rushing into things.

2.     The ingress Mars (Taurus 23°) is on the 4^th cusp thus signalling stress on the home front. It is trine to ingress Saturn and ingress Pluto (Capricon 22°) which are situated in the 12^th house. This Mars further gets activated by ingress Nodes being on the same degree. Also this ingress Mars falls exactly over progressed Rahu (in 6-12 axis) and is quincunx to ingress Jupiter (Sagittarius  23°).Thus a planned secretive action cannot be ruled out.

3.     In the ingress chart the Eastern Hemisphere is dominant signifying strong will power and a motivation to act.

4.     A Fiery grand trine is formed in 3-7-11 Houses between Ingress Sun, Ingress Fortuna and Progressed Jupiter. This trine is supported by opposing Natal ascendant and thus a Kite aspect is activated. This perhaps suggests support of luck, success as regards to getting the cross border terrorism issue accepted on international platform.

5.     A Fixed grand square gets activated in 4-6-10-12 houses because of Ingress Venus (Aquarius 22°), Ingress Mars (Taurus 23°) and Progressed Rahu (Taurus 23°), Progressed Saturn and Natal Sun (Leo 21°) and Progressed Mercury (Scorpio 21°) all squaring each other. This warns of repetitive trouble spots but at the same time promises strong determination, resoluteness and masterful planning activities.

6.     The 2^nd House (National prestige) seems highlighted with Sun in it along with ingress 8^th lord  i.e. Mercury and  Neptune. The co-Lord of the Ascendant. i.e. Saturn sextiles this combination in 2^nd house.

7.     The Ingress Ascendant falls over the Progressed M.C (disconjunct) prompting the government for some sudden swift action.

Thus there seems a strong possibility that India might try for economic blockade of Pakistan as well as strongly present its case in the UN for the declaration of Pakistan as a ‘Terrorist Nation’. A difficult phase for our nation continues as Progressed Mars is (exact) degreecally conjunct Natal Pluto and Saturn. Also, the Progressed Saturn will be on Natal Sun for quite some time. At the same time a retaliatory strong action by the armed forces is a distinct possibility.
