Monthly Global Prediction for July 2009: The first two weeks of July are going to be filled with
important political events, and these events will shape the world
spirituality. A part of that process is reflected in ongoing political
(and also spiritual) struggle in Iran. It is a part of the bigger picture
of ongoing world spiritual growth as initiated by Sagittarius Pluto (couple of
years ago) and Pisces Uranus (three months
ago). In addition, the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction (May 14 - July 23), which
has been in operation since May 14, is profoundly influencing the world where
orthodox and rigid way of living is threatened with a new wave of world where human rights
takes the center stage.
The important challenging planetary configurations for
July include Neptune-Mars and Jupiter-Mars
regular squares (July 4-6), Uranus-Rahu
ninefold square (July 1-5), Pluto-Mars (July
12 -14) and Uranus-Rahu (July 26- Aug 20)
ninefold quincunxes, and Neptune-Saturn
ninefold conjunction. The auspicious configurations include Neptune-Jupiter conjunction (May 14 - July
23).
The squares of Mars with Neptune and Jupiter
will be responsible for religious, philosophical upheaval ultimately leading to
spiritual growth of the world. Uranus-Rahu
ninefold square and quincunxes will be the
cause for instability in Middle East (Iraq,
Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Israel and
Palestine).
On
a positive note, during the first half of the month, the Neptune-Jupiter
conjunction will be auspicious for economical growth and increase in
optimism for better future all around the world. However, it will also be
responsible for transformation of existing
religious practices to a new level of
religious awakening that will be more
compassionate and open-minded.
The countries that are most likely to be affected during
this
month would be: United States, Middle-East (Iraq, Iran,
Pakistan, Afghanistan, Palestine and Israel), Russia and
China.
For President Obama, his operating
planet Ketu, is in the twelfth house of his progressive chart and in the
second and the first house
of his ninefold
progressive chart for July. As a result, he
is likely to face more political challenges (both
international and domestic).
However, the seventh house Jupiter in his progressive
chart, and the third and the second house Jupiter in his ninefold
progressive chart will, due its (Jupiter's) auspicious
nature, provide him with success in facing the
political challenges. In addition,
the transiting Jupiter will oppose his
natal Uranus, and Jupiter being his major operating
planet, he is likely to continue successfully deal with the most of
the political crisis based on his moral conviction. The
conjunction of transiting Rahu with his natal Jupiter will
help him find right balance between the reality and
idealism to solve country's on going
economical, judicial and political problems. (more)
Earthquakes: Based on our earthquake
prediction model,

Individual Predictions:
A total solar eclipse occurs on July 22 approximately
during the hours
of 1:30 to 4:00 GMT. This eclipse will be visible in continents of Asia,
East-Africa, Australia, and the west coast of United States, Mexico and
Canada.
This eclipse is important since the Sun
and Moon will be within half a degree from Ketu, the Southern or descending node
in the sidereal zodiac sign Cancer. Consequently this eclipse, according to
Vedic astrology, is likely to be unfavorable for those who have sidereal Cancer rising or
Cancer as moon sign.
For those who have the lunar nodes in conjunction with
either Sun or Moon should watch-out. It's not a good
day! Take extra precaution and avoid any sort of outdoor activity
requiring you to get out of house.
On world scene, the middle east (especially Iran,
Afghanistan and Pakistan), North Korea, China are likely to experience either
violence or natural calamities.
