Earthquake in Nepal and massive disaster

We have recently witnessed the massive earthquake in Nepal and the lives lost have crossed beyond 2000 nos. Let god give them strength to overcome this situation.

Nepal is an ancient kingdom and no historical “foundation” has been established. In the case of Nepal when you want to predict any mundane events you need to take into account the independence or republic chart. But in this case neither is true for Nepal. There is however, King Birendra’s (King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Deva) chart who was crowned in Katmandu on February 24, 1968 at 8.52 am. The horoscope of coronation is given below.

Now before we venture into how the earthquake occurred and what are its astrological reasons, we need to understand some basic facts.

Earthquake normally happens when;

1. There are two or more eclipses in a month. Be it combination of solar or lunar
2. Many planets are posited in one sign or maximum planets with/near the Sun
3. The sign in which the eclipse occurs denotes the place in the globe
4. The house in which the eclipse occurs in horoscope of independence, coronation affects the significance of that house. For example, eclipse occurring in 1/7 axis o4 4/10 axis will cause earthquakes.
5. Saturn/Mars/Rahu together in Kendra or in 2/12 or 6/8 from each other.
6. Eclipse occurring in dual signs have maximum impact
7. The sign in which the eclipse falls becomes the “Ecliptical point”.
8. When Saturn or mars transits over that point or aspects the point there is another earthquake or natural disaster.
9. Placement of Moon and Mercury in the same nakshatra.
10. Taurus and Scorpio are very dangerous signs for occurrence of earthquakes. Especially when Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Rahu are in these signs.
11. Jupiter in Taurus or Scorpio and in conjunction/aspect of Mercury causes earthquakes.
12. The 1^st, 4^th 7^th, 8^th, 12^th or the 10^th house from the “Ecliptical point” indicate the place of occurrence.
13. Earthquake appears during the time of eclipse or near eclipse or lunation (full moon or new moon).
14. Earthquake takes place near or on Purnima (Full moon)/Amavasya (New moon)
15. When there is earthquake of a magnitude of near about 8 or more there can be tidal waves.

 

Types of Earthquakes are as follows;

	Day	Day	Night	Night
Parts of Day/Night	1st Part	2nd Part	1st Part	2nd Part
Names of Mandal	Vayavya	Agni	Indra	Varun
Area of effect from ecliptical point	1000 kms	550 kms	800 kms	900 kms
Nakshatras in which eclipse occurs (Moon in which constellation)	U. Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, P. Vasu, Mrigashira and Ashwini	Pushya, Krithika, Vishaka, Bharani, Magha, P. Ashada and P. Phalguni	Abhijit, Sravana, Dhanishta, Rohini, Jyeshta, U. Ashada and Anuradha	Rewati, P. Ashada, Ardra, Ashlesha, Mula, U. Bhadra and Satbhisha

The earthquake occurred in Nepal at around 11.45 am on 25^th April, 2015. As per the timing the type of earthquake is “Vayavya” and in 1^st part of day. The Moon at the time was at “Punarvasu” nakshatra, which is in Vayavya mandal.

Saturn/Mars/rahu are in 6/8 positions from each other in the Ingress chart.

So from the above it can seen that the effect of the earthquake will be felt near about 1000 kms from the ecliptical point.

Now let us analyse the chart of coronation given above. The asc rising is Pisces at 28 deg 09. The global solar eclipse  of 20^th March, 2015 occurred in Pisces 05 deg and Rahu was at Pisces 15 deg. The recent lunar eclipse of 4^th April, 2015 occurred also in Pisces where Moon was at Virgo 18 deg and Rahu at Pisces 15 deg. So the axis was 1/7 axis of the coronation chart of King Birendra.

The dasa in operation was Venus/Jupiter. Here Jupiter is the lord of 3 and 8 for Pisces asc. Jupiter is in the lagna but being close to Venus (lord of 3 & 8), aspected by retrograde Saturn and Rahu (debilitated) it is heavily afflicted. Jupiter is lord of lagna (general condition of people, the king himself) and 10^th house (the government) will be negatively impacted.

At the time of Aries ingress the asc rising was 6^th house Leo from the Pisces lagna of coronation chart and in rashi sandhi (between watery/firy sign). For the earthquakes, the 4^th and 8^th houses in the ingress charts should be afflicted. The 8^th house shows mass tragedies. The 4^th houses shows weather and climatic conditions.

In the Sanghata chakra (used mainly for earthquake predictions) the 4^th / 8^th houses is heavily afflicted by the presence of retrograde Saturn in 4th and also due to aspect of Mars/Sun/Ketu. The 8^th house is also similarly afflicted by these planets.

Saptna Nadi Chakra:

Prachand	Pawan	Dahan	Soumya	Neera	Jala	Amrit
Saturn	Sun	Mars	Jupiter	Venus	Mercury	Moon
Fierce	Windy	Hot	Wheather Changes	Good Rain	Better Rain	Best Rain
3	4	5	6	7	8	9
Krittika	Rohini	Mrigashira	Ardra	Punarvasu	Pushya	Ashlesha
16	15	14	13	12	11	10
Vishaka	Swati	Chitra	Hasta	U. Phalguni	P. Phalguni	Magha
17	18	19	20	21	22	23
Anuradha	Jyeshta	Mula	Purvashada	Uttarashada	Abhijit	Sravan
2	1	28	27	26	25	24
Bharani	Ashwini	Revati	U. Bhadra	P. Bhadra	Shatbhisha	Dhanista

 

In the Sapta Nadi chakra (for Aries ingress) planet’s position are as follows;

• Sun is in Ashwini – Pawan (Windy)
• Moon is in Dhanishta – Amrit (Best rain)
• Mars is in Bharani – Prachand (fierce)
• Mercury is in Ashwini – Pawan (Windy)
• Jupiter is in Ashlesha – Amrit (Best rain)
• Venus is in Krittika – Prachand (fierce)
• Saturn is in Anuradha – Prachand (fierce)
• Rahu is in Hasta – Soumya (weather changes)
• Ketu is in U. Bhadra – Soumya (weather changes)

If you see the above configuration 2 planets in Pawan, 3 in Prachand, 2 in Amrit and 2 in Soumya. So 5 planets in Pawan and Prachand. So the effect of above eclipse is going to severe followed by sever rains also.

Further, as the earthquake fell in Vayavya mandal (Windy circle), the after effect of it is going to be within 1000 kms from Nepal.

As regards the places where the earthquakes are expected to occur are judged from the signs falling in the houses 1, 4, 7, 8, 12 and 10 from Pisces (the ecliptical point). The signs are as follows;

1. Pisces – Himachal Pradesh
2. Gemini  – Not falling in India or nearby places. Hence not mentioning here the names of places.
3. Virgo – All India (as Virgo is treated as rashi of India by ancient astrologers/rishis)
4. Libra – Kashmir and Marwar
5. Sagittarius – Uttar Pradesh
6. Aquarius – Not falling in India or nearby places. Hence not mentioning here the names of places.

So the above places are very vulnerable for earthquakes in the next 6 months as the duration of lunar eclipse was for approx 6 hours.
