Coronavirus (COVID-19): Analysis and Predictions through Hindu Astrology about the Devastating Pandemic
A lot of mystery and hype is going on around the recent Coronavirus outbreak, which The President of the United States of America has termed as the “Chinese Virus”, as its originating source is Wuhan, a commercial and hi-tech capital city of Hubei Province in China. On 11 March 2020, The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a Pandemic, which has now infected almost 7,00,000 people at the time of writing this Astrological Analysis. More than 20,000 people have lost their lives, and approx. 1,50,000 have recovered. Now, the YouTube and free blogging websites such as www.medium.com are full of Astrological Articles describing why and how this disease came in existence, and when the World will be relieved out of this life threatening disease, which even scientists aren’t able to find a cure about.
Some Astrologers, or Astrology learners/students have put in the entire onus of Coronavirus either on Ketu’s transit in Sagittarius sign in Moola Nakshatra, or on the Solar Eclipse that took place on 26 December 2019. But nobody tried to look deeper into the classical scriptures on Hindu Astrology. Every astrologer either claimed the analysis as his own research work, or gave no reasons to his/her explanation. And this eventually is the disrespect to our own scriptures, saints and rishis, and acclaimed Astrologers of the past and the present who have done astonishingly commendable work in Hindu Astrology for the benefit of Mankind on this earth.

I am learning Astrology since I was in the 9th standard, and then I’ve learned to go in-depth from my Astrology teachers including, but not limited to, Shri. Vinay Gupta, and Shri. Manoj Pathak, at Bhartiya Vidya Bhawan, Delhi under the unmatched and invaluable guidance of our Legendary Shri. K. N. Rao. Later, I started learning Nadi from my “Master”, the one and only Shri. A. V. Sundaram, a globally acclaimed authority on Nadi Astrology, who has been a divine blessing in my life. All my teachers have always taught me one and the same thing that give the due credit to whom you learn anything from. And to prove your point in any Astrological Analysis and become a good Astrologer, always stick to the basics and quote classical scriptures, rather than going haywire.
So in this analysis, as you go down reading, you’ll find me quoting a lot of shlokas from one of our classical texts in Hindu Astrology i.e., Brihat Samihta, which is also known as Varahi Samhita, by none other than the Great Varahamihira.
Before I begin with my analysis, I would also like to tell you that this Coronavirus (Covid-19) is not the only disease breakout that has happened in the year 2019, but there’s one more that is 2019 Samoa measles outbreak that began in September 2019. As per the stats listed over the Wikipedia website, as of 6 January 2020, there have been 5,700 cases, and 83 people have lost their lives so far. A state of emergency was declared on 17 November 2019. And along with all that, Australia, also witnessed a horrific summer starting September 2019 till late January 2020, where many people, and millions of animals, birds, insects, etc. lost their lives in an unprecedented Bushfires all across the Australia. There have been many similarly devastating events that took place in the year 2019. I’ve listed many of them in my article below.
My Successful Predictions in October and November 2019 about India
On 5 November, 2019 (IST), Jupiter transited to the Sagittarius (Dhanu) sign after completing its year long journey in the Scorpio (Vrishchika) sign. On the next day, in one of my Astrologers’ Whatsapp groups, I was having a discussion about this transit in the context of India. And within next 2.5 months i.e., January, 2020, Saturn was to enter its own sign Capricorn (Makar) after completing its journey of 2.5 years in Sagittarius Sign. At that time of discussion, I gave a few predictions, where I stated that the Indian Government will take up the Ayodhya Ram Mandir issue very seriously to ensure that the Mandir is constructed even if the Supreme Court of India doesn’t rule in favor of the Hindus (a party to the litigation) [On 17 October 2019, in another Whatsapp Group of Nadi Astrologers, I predicted to a friend that the Supreme Court Judgement will come in Favor of Building the Ram Mandir]. As Sagittarius, which is also known as the sign of Justice, happens to be the Mooltrikona sign Jupiter (where Jupiter as a Jeeva enjoys). And, and I also predicted that once Saturn moves to Capricorn, there will be mass protests in India for one or more reasons, and even some riots may also take place. While considering the India’s Independence Chart, Sagittarius happens to be the 8th house, and Jupiter ruling over the 8th house as well as 11th house, but being placed in the 6th house was showing some more severe danger to India. I clearly stated that I won’t be surprised if the situation between not only India and Pakistan but also with China gets more tensed as Jupiter’s transit to Sagittarius will bring him in 1/7 aspect of Mars, which is placed in the 2nd house of India’s chart, and Mars happens to rule over the 12th House and 7th House respectively.
In my analysis, I also stated, though there will be some relief to the financial Market (Bombay Stock Exchange posted its life time high of 42,273 points on 20 January 2020), however, as Ketu will remain with Jupiter till August/September 2020, this would not be as effectively good as many Astrologers are projecting it to be.
On 15th of March, one of my friends, asked me when is this Coronavirus thing going to end. Based on my analysis of the ongoing planetary positions, I stated that this crisis is going to have more deepening impact on people’s lives as more tragic events are about to come when on 22nd in some countries and 23rd March in others Mars will enter Capricorn, the sign of exaltation, where it will get conjunct with Saturn. I also predicted that there would be a global slowdown for the next 2.5 years till the time Saturn will remain in Capricorn as its transit to this sign took place on an Amavasya, when it was in its accelerated motion due to its close proximity with Sun.
Listed below are the two screenshots taken from the website worldometers.info showing how many people have died from Coronavirus between 23 March to 29 March (GMT) after Mars entered in Capricorn.

The Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic Analysis
Now, let’s go back to the Coronavirus breakout. Though China has kept almost every information related to the origin and effect of Covid-19 classified. But all thanks to the International Media from the Hong Kong, and United States of America, which have been able to find conclusive evidences on Coronavirus, when it started, how many were infected initially, how and when it started spreading between human to human, and how this news broke out in open even after the suppression of speech in China. As per the latest reports, the first or “Zero” patient case was reported as early as 17th November 2019, in a hospital at Wuhan, Hubei, China. And on 17th November 2019, it was a Solar Ingress (Surya Sankranti), where Sun moved to Scorpio (The Mysterious Sign of a Natural Zodiac, which is also termed as a black hole).
As per the news reports, the first source of the Coronavirus disease was either a Bat or a Pangolin, which was consumed by the “Patient Zero”. As per World Health Organization, the Coronavirus (Covid-19) is spreading to humans either by inhaling droplets emitted by an infected person by sneezes and coughs or by coming in contact with a surface or object that has a virus on it. When a person unknowingly touches a contaminated surface or object with his/her hands, and once contaminated, hands can easily transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you infected with Coronavirus. Then, it spreads through the food-pipe to the lungs attacking the entire respiratory system of a human being, and as a result Coronavirus patients get either critically ill and put onto a ventilator, or are being told to restrict their movement and stay in a one separate room for at least 14 days under the quarantine period.
Under Medical Astrology, Face is represented by the Taurus sign (ruled by Venus), and Neck (throat) region in a human body is represented by the Gemini sign (ruled by Mercury). Mercury represents all the three elements Vaata (Wind), Pitta (Bile), and Kapha (Phelgm) along with the Chest, Nose, Lungs, and Throat. Venus represents the two elements Vaata (Wind) and Kapha (Phelgm), and in body parts it represents Face along with many other. Saturn represents the Touch sense and unforeseen dangers. Ketu represents Epidemics, eruptive fevers, viral and infectious disease, and diagnostic confusion. The Legs and Feet, that are very much required for the movement from one place to another, are represented by Saturn. And Jupiter and Rahu are the two key planets for expansion or growth so they need to be involved for the wide spread of this disease on a global level.
In the Nakshatra scheme of body parts, Punravasu represents Fingers, Ashlesha represents Nails, Chitra represents Forehead, Swati represents Teeth, Vishakha represents Both Upper Limbs, Jyestha represents Tongue, Moola represents Both Feet, Purvashadha and Uttarashadha together represents Both the Thighs, and Rohini represents Both Legs. Therefore, there has to have affliction to either all of these zodiac signs or their ruling lords, nakshatra, and planets I’ve listed above or to many of them if not all. Affliction would come to any sign, nakshatra, or a planet if a Malefic is connected with it through PAC (Position, Aspect, or Conjunction).
The first COVID-19 case originated on November 17, according to Chinese officials searching for ‘patient zero’ — News Source; Business Insider https://www.businessinsider.com.au/coronavirus-patients-zero-contracted-case-november-2020-3?r=US&IR=T
In the Solar Ingress chart, Libra sign rises in the ascendant at 19°51’ in Swati Nakshatra. In Independent China’s Chart, Libra happens to be the 10th house. Therefore, in this Solar Ingress Chart, significations of the 10th House will be strongly felt which are Nation’s prestige, reputation, Political Establishment, Prime Minister, King, President, Governer, Top Authority in the State, Disgrace, Foreign Trade, etc.
Here Mercury (retrograde), which rules over the 9th and the 12th house, is placed in the lagna in Swati Nakshatra, however, being in retrograde motion, it is in its Vikala state (of irregular rate) which is showing that the mankind will be afflicted with fear and disease (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 7, Shloka 15 & 16). Mercury is also the Karaka of Communications, Scientific organizations, News Media, Intellectual Caliber of the Country, trade and commerce. Mars is also conjunct with Mercury, where it rules over the 7th House, and 2nd house respectively. Mars represents, Rebellion, Political Disturbances, Manufacturing and Industrial Progress, Unnatural and Violent Deaths, Armed Forces, Police, etc. Placement of 2nd house lord and 12th house lord, and Mercury as a karaka of communication, in the lagna reflects that there could be expenditure on medical/hospital, secret plots, and imprisonment, deception, conspiracies, military hospitals, war, and losses of all kinds, and a deliberate conspiracy to delay the information about the virus to the world.
Sun is placed in the 2nd house with Venus. Sun rules over the 11th House, and Venus rules over the Lagna and 8th House. The 2nd house rules over the resources of the nation, national wealth and allies, economy of the country. As Sun is ruling over the 11th House, which represents, International relations, gains from foreign trade, national mint, Agreements and contracts with foreign governments, etc. This clearly indicates that this solar ingress will prove fruitful to China in terms of foreign relationships, agreements, etc. However, as Venus also rules over the 8th House, sudden dramatic change which will lead to destruction of the state, and hit its economy is also seen.
Jupiter’s placement in the 3rd house being the 3rd lord shows that as it has always been the case with China, it will be able to control the media. However, with Saturn and Ketu by its side in Sagittarius, where Saturn happens to the 4th and 5th house lord, Jupiter also rules over the 6th house, which is house of conflict, medical and para-medical services, diseases, indicates severe change in public opinion, and dispute(s) with neighboring countries, and speculations and stock exchange losses, rise of democratic movements, and downfall in real estate sector.
10th Lord Moon, placed in the 9th house with Rahu reflects that there will be allegations on the government, and the government may indulge in forceful ways of handling the power to dictate its terms, which could affect its foreign affairs diplomacy.
In this solar ingress chart, it can be seen very clearly, that the following nakshatras; Chitra, Swati, Vishakha, Jyestha, Punarvasu, Moola, Purvashadha and Uttarashadha are afflicted, Mercury, as stated above, is afflicted, Venus is afflicted as it is conjunct with Sun, the Gemini Sign is afflicted with the presence of Rahu in it, Saturn, Jupiter are under affliction by being in Ketu/Rahu axis.
Independent China’s Chart
The current Dashanath Mercury is placed in 9th house, which is its own house, and also rules over the 6th house. It is conjunct with Ketu, and Sun (which rules over the 8th house). When this news of Coronavirus exploded and the world came to know about it for the first time on 27 December, when Washington Post published the news with screenshots of the WeChat messages circulated by a Doctor in one of the groups, which he was a part of, where he told his fellow colleagues and friends about the new virus that is affecting people and its symptoms and how dangerous it is as it spreads between human to human. At that time, China was running under Mahadasha and Antardasha of Mercury.
Explanation of Dasha and Events;
8th House represents, trouble to people through famine, and epidemics, mortality, discoveries, death rate, scientific investment, destruction of the state, setback to the cabinet, etc. The Dashanath, which itself rules over the 6th house, which is the house of disease, conflicts, medical and para-medical services, is conjunct with the 8th house ruling Lord Sun, and Ketu. Ketu itself signifies severe epidemics, secret plots, destruction, war, conspiracies, drugs, etc. Therefore, this conjunction of planets, and the onset of Dasha of Retrograde Mercury played its part in a breakout of an epidemic in China, which has now become a Pandemic.
For the breakout of Coronavirus, which has been termed as the “Chinese Virus” by the POTUS, on a Global Level, we need to analyse the Horoscope of Hindu New Year 2019 based on CST. Along with that, we also need to analyse the Solar and Lunar Eclipses that took place on 26 December 2019, and 11 January 2019 (CST).
I’ve taken the place as Beijing, China, because the disease originated in China, and spread to the global level.
Leo Sign rises in the Lagna at 24°46’ in Purvaphalguni Nakshatra. In Independent China’s Chart, The Leo Sign happens to be the 8th House. Here, Lagna Lord Sun, is placed in the 8th House with Moon, which rules over the 12th House. Lagna is being aspected by 9th and 4th Lord Mars from the 10th House, Venus and Mercury placed in the 7th house, ruling over the 3rd & 10th and 11th and 2nd Houses respectively, and Jupiter, which rules over the 5th and 8th Houses.
In this chart, neither the lagna lord is well placed, nor the lagna is well aspected. The only saving grace is of Jupiter, however, as it is under severe affliction by being conjunct with Ketu and the 6th Lord Saturn, and aspected by the Mars that too with its deadliest 8th aspect. As stated above, here also, the 6th house, 8th house, and 12th houses are in play, which clearly reflects the danger to China from a breakout of an epidemic.
You must be thinking, how on earth does that indicate that this will become a global disease (a Pandemic).
In 2019–2020, the Year Lord was Saturn. Here’s what Saturn does as and when it becomes the Year Lord.
If Saturn becomes the Lord of the Year, the land will suffer from wicked men, band of robbers and big wars. Wealth will disappear, there will be heard the cries of people mourning for the death of their loved ones, severe epidemics will break out and afflict people. Clouds will be dispersed by winds; trees will suffer from disease; the sky will be filled with dust concealing Sun and Moon, tanks will become dry, and rivers will fall. Crops found growing here and there will perish for want of water (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 19, Shloka 19, 20 & 21).
If Saturn should, after a long direct motion, begin to retrograde, or have an accelerated motion, and in this state enter another Rashi, there would be diseases, famine, and drought in the land, and vehicles will suffer destruction (Brihat Samhita, Ch.47, Author’s Notes). This kind of transit of Saturn took place on 24 January, 2020, when Saturn was in accelerated motion while transiting to Capricorn.
If 2, 3, or 4 Planets are conjunct, people would suffer from deaths and famine. If 5 Planets are conjunct, there would also be famine (Brihat Samhita, Ch.47, Author’s Notes). It happened many a times in 2019–2020, however, the longest duration was from 21 November 2019 to 13 January 2020.
That Constellation in which Sun and Saturn might happen to be together, or through which Mars might happen to pass, or in which retrograde motion of a planet lie, or in which a lunar or solar eclipse might take place, or through which Moon might pass; will bring misery to persons (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 15, Shloka 31 & 32). The similar phenomenon was witnessed between 12 January to 15 January 2020, when Sun and Saturn were transiting together through Uttarashadha Nakshatra in Sagittarius sign, which was soon transited by Mars too.
If Mercury transits through the Purvashadha nakshatra, mankind will suffer from hunger, from wars and thieves, and from diseases (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 7, Shloka 7). Between 03 January to 11 January 2020, Mercury was transiting through Purvashadha Nakshtra.
A Look back into the History to see if Saturn really makes such a long-lasting impression in the world when it becomes the Year Lord.
- During 24 March 1917- 11 April 1918, Saturn was the Year Lord, and in January 1918, Spanish Flu broke out, which lasted till December 1920, killing 17–50 million people and infecting approx. 500 million people.
- During 29 March 1968–17 April 1969, Saturn was the Year Lord, and in July 1968, The Hong Kong flu (also known as 1968 flu pandemic) broke out, that killed approx. a million people globally.
- During 27 March 2009–16 March 2010, Saturn was the Year Lord, and the Swine flu pandemic broke out, killing more than 18,000 people, and infecting approx. 700 million to 1.4 billion people.
- During 22 March 2012–10 April 2013, Saturn was the Year Lord, and MERS Coronavirus epidemic broke out, which infected more than 1000 people, and killed approx. 400.
Now let’s come to the Eclipses that took place at the very end of 2019 (Solar), and at the very beginning of 2020 (Lunar).
As the disease breakout happened in China, and both the Solar and Lunar eclipses were visible in China, I’ve taken their timings based in China.
Total Duration of the Eclipse was 2 Hours 31 Minutes 17 seconds
At the time of Solar Eclipse, Pisces Sign was rising in the Lagna (Ascendant), and the eclipse was in Sagittarius sign where, all together 6 planets were conjunct; Saturn, Ketu, Jupiter, Sun, Moon, and Mercury.
Sagittarius happens to be the 12th house of the Independent China’s Chart. During this eclipse, China’s Chart Lagna Lord Saturn was also present, which eventually shows that this Eclipse was bringing unfortunate events. 12th and 3rd Lord Jupiter was also eclipsed, which shows the deception and failure of Communication on China’s part to inform the World and WHO about the originated virus in time. China delayed and now the world is paying the price of its deliberate negligence. 6th and 9th Lord Mercury was also eclipsed, with Ketu (Viruses causing epidemics) which eventually become the reason of an outbreak as per the Solar Eclipse Chart.
Total Duration of the Eclipse was 04 Hours 04 Minutes 35 Seconds
At the time of Lunar Eclipse, Libra Sign was rising in the Lagna (Ascendant), and the eclipse was in Gemini sign where, Moon was conjunct with Rahu, aspected by Saturn, Mercury, Jupiter, and Mars.
Gemini happens to be the 6th house of the Independent China’s Chart. For China, Lunar Eclipse is always crucial, as in its chart, Moon happens to be the 7th Lord, placed in Lagna. So whenever, a Lunar Eclipse will take place, you can notice its some kind of major impact especially in regards internal disturbances where people aren’t in favor of certain policy and protesting on the streets, and international politics, which could result in long-term disputes, failure to abide by an international agreement, breach of trust, and provoking its inimical countries for war by showing its muscle power unnecessarily.
With these two recent eclipse, you can see how all other countries that are brutally impacted by the Coronavirus (Covid-19) disease, are blaming China for its deliberate negligence to keep the world informed about this deadly virus. And countries even raised this issue in the UN, where China with the help of its friendly countries, namely Russia and South Africa, didn’t let that happen. Moreover, many theories have emerged whether this virus has come from an animal as stated by the China and some scientists, or is it a man-made disaster (a bio-weapon) to take revenge from America and other countries for Trade War that has affected the China’s economy a lot. These events clearly show the impact of 8th house, 6th house, 10th house, and 12th house that are in play.
Now I’ll cover what our Hindu classic scripture says about such eclipses.
For Solar Eclipse;
If the Solar Eclipse occurs in the 4th division of the day time (Time from Sunrise to Sunset divided by 7); The King and the Central Country will be destroyed (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 5, Shloka 28–31). Here the author has stated the central country, and when this text was written, India (Bharat Varsh) was a massive land of princely states. In modern times, this shloka needs to be taken liberally rather than literally, where Central Country means the center of a country where such a solar eclipse takes place. And Hubei, is a Central Province in China.
When Rahu is on the northern side of the Sun, there will be oppression through the sovereign and thieves, and people will die in consequences (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 5, Shloka 44). At the time of this eclipse, and even now, Rahu is transiting through Gemini, which falls under the northern hemisphere, whereas Sun, at the time of eclipse was transiting through the southern hemisphere.
Eclipse in the month of Pushya (Paush Month) a Lunar Month in Hindu terminology, which is the time period between December-January; There will be only small showers, and there will be famine, and panic everywhere (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 5, Shloka 71). Here this shloka applies for both these eclipses as both of them took place in the Pushya month itself.
If Jupiter is also eclipsed at the time of Eclipse, learned men, kinds, ministers, elephants, and horses will perish, and Northern countries will suffer (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 5, Shloka 66).
If the eclipse is in Dakshinayan (Southern Hemisphere); Vaishyas (Businesses) and Sudras (Employees) will suffer (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 5, Shloka 32). This solar eclipse was in Sothern Hemisphere.
If eclipse takes place in Dhanu (Sagittarius sign); Ministers, Physicians, Merchants, and persons skilled in the use of destructive weapons will die (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 5, Shloka 41). This solar eclipse took place in Sagittarius Sign, and a lot of doctors, and politicians, who were ministers in their countries have also died, and many top-level politicians, ministers are still infected and fighting with Coronavirus, example; Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
If the solar eclipse ends at the south-west point, Queens of Sovereign will suffer (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 5, Shloka 86). This solar eclipse ended at south-west point. First lady of Canada is infected with Coronavirus, and Spanish Princess died of this Covid-19.
For Lunar Eclipse;
Lunar eclipse begins at Eastern disc and terminate as Western point, it is known as Jarana (Decaying); Mankind will be afflicted with hunger and with wars (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 5, Shloka 88). This lunar eclipse began at Eastern disc and terminated at Western point.
This Lunar Eclipse, for China, also occurred in 4th part of the night. Hence same results will be met as stated above for Solar eclipse.
If Rahu conceals the entire orb and is in that position for a considerably long period, it is called [Avmardan (Tormenting)], which results in destruction of leading kings and important countries (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 5, Shloka 48). During this lunar eclipse, Moon’s orb was concealed for long time. Now you can see why so many leading countries are being affected?
If Mercury aspects the eclipsed Moon; Ghee, Honey, Oil will become dear and rare, and kings will suffer. If Mars aspects, there would be outbreak of war, risk from fire, and danger from thieves. If Saturn aspects, rains will fail, famine, and risk from thieves will result. If Jupiter aspects, intensity of listed results will decrease (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 5, Shloka 60–61). During this lunar eclipse, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars were aspecting Moon. However, as Jupiter was badly afflicted, its positive results aren’t being seen to protect the masses from the deadly Coronavirus, but still we should consider it a saving grace else situation could have been worse.
If eclipsed in Mithuna (Gemini), chaste women, princes, powerful petty chiefs, and learned men will suffer miseries (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 5, Shloka 37).
More factors that contributed in spreading this disease from an epidemic to pandemic are listed below;
- During period when Jupiter and Saturn occupy a single sign (it means both are conjunct in a sign), there would be pestilence, cholera, and deaths among people (Brihat Samhita, Ch.47, Author’s Notes).
- When Saturn transits through Sagittarius, Aries, Taurus, Pisces, or Leo, there would be deaths among men and animals that only 1/3 of mankind, of elephants, horses, cows, and other animals, of birds, and of creatures, of water, would survive (Brihat Samhita, Ch.47, Author’s Notes).
- Planetary Conjunctions; If in any sign planets are in close degree conjunction (Bheda), there will be draught in the land, friends and families will turn into enemies. If the conjunction is some distance apart (Ullekha), wars in the land. If the conjunction is more distance apart (Amsuvimarda), kings will be at war, and mankind will suffer from weapons, from diseases, and from hunger. If they are far from each other (Apsavya), rulers will be at war with one another. (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 17, Shloka 3–5).
For upcoming days; starting 30 March 2020, when Jupiter will enter Capricorn, where it will meet Mars, and Saturn already transiting in that sign, and till 06 April, all three of them will be in the same nakshatra. Hence, this time period is immensely crucial for people to keep patience, stay at home, and fight out the Coronavirus with bravery. Additionally, as per Sangatha Rashi Chakra, this planetary conjunction is also being aspected by Rahu, and Moon will also join on 31 March. This combination can prove to be the deadliest of them all. There could be some devastating events other than the ongoing Coronavirus, which may affect the mankind at large scale.
- If Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter are within sight of each other, men with their children would suffer from hunger and from weapons (Brihat Samhita, Ch. 47, Author’s Notes).
During this entire year 2019–2020, many critical conjunctions and association of planets through mutual aspects took place, which eventually resulted in a lot of deaths, draught, disease outbreaks, wealth loss, anxiety, fear and stress. I’ve listed down some of the prominent ones below to have a look back on that year to uphold our confidence and move forward in fight with this Chinese Virus (Covid-19).
Prediction about Janta Curfew (Lockdown) in India on 22 March 2020
Future Predictions About Coronavirus (Covid-19) and The World
Now a couple of billion-dollar questions arise; when are we going to get rid of this disease or when are we going to find a vaccine to cure Coronavirus (Covid-19).
Jupiter’s transit in Capricorn, though there Jupiter will be in its debilitation, but then the Neechbhanga Yoga will also be applicable, as Capricorn’s ruling lord (Saturn) as well as planet that exalts (Mars) in Capricorn will already be present there. On April 06, Mars will move to Shravana Nakshatra, leaving Jupiter and Saturn behind in the Uttarashadha Nakshatra. Though the disease will still be in existence for at least next 4–6 more months, but its impact will start to diminish soon after Mars will move to Shravana Nakshatra, and with Jupiter’s presence in Capricorn for the next 3 months. And a significant progress will be made in finding a vaccine for this disease. Moreover, with the presence of Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter in Capricorn, aspected by Rahu, when seen using the Sangatha Rashi Chakra, indicates that it’s not just the Coronavirus (Covid-19), but there could be an escalation of terrorist attacks, oil war between Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and America will also show its worst ever impact, and there could also be a possibility where some countries may come head-to-head in a war like situation. Volcano(es) may erupt, a Tsunami may trigger due to a massive earthquake, and some major fire may break out.
In China’s chart, Saturn (Lagna Lord) will be in Lagna, 12th and 3rd Lord (Jupiter) will also be in Lagna. The China will keep on struggling with the impact of Coronavirus, the stats the Chinese Government is providing to the world are highly unrealistic, and in the coming days it will be exposed to the world.
However, as in India’s chart, Capricorn happens to be the 9th House, which is the 4th from the 6th house (house of disease, and medical practitioners, etc), India will witness a lot of relief from this disease, and Saturn, which is the 9th and 10th Lord in India’s chart will help to lessen the infection rate among Indians.
In America’s Chart, in which Leo sign rises in the Ascendant, Capricorn happens to be the 6th house, where Ketu is also placed, and Jupiter being the 8th Lord, present in the 6th house with the 6th Lord (Saturn) in transit, a lot of American’s will get infected during this time, however, as Jupiter will cross over the 5 degrees in Uttarashadha nakshatra (deep debilitation point for Jupiter), things will start improving. Once, Ketu moves to Scorpio on 19th September 2020, affliction to the Lagna Lord Sun will be over, and America will start moving forward like before. And surely a medicine will be found by the American researchers between 08 July to 19 December 2020.
