As
predicted last month, during September, there were clear signs of
declining violence and natural or man-made accidents, and again as
predicted, the violence irrupted only during the third week
of September (September 18 and 19) in the form of bus bombings in
Israel and civilian killings in Kashmir. Also, President Bush
indeed announced his plans to dethrone Saddam Hussein in Iraq
during the last week (Sept 24 onwards) of the month and took his
case to Americans for winning their support.
With
retrograde Mercury delaying plans or activities till October 7, and
then beginning October 11, both retrograde Saturn and retrograde
Venus poised to turn our lives (relationships, dealings, and daily
chores) into messy and frustrating ones mainly due to either
by clouds of suspicion, misunderstandings or by happenings that are beyond our control,
the month of October for most of us, it seems, going to be a real trying one. And that frustration will reflect in world
politics. Delays which are longer than normal and poor payoffs for
painstaking efforts by world leaders to make our world a better
place are likely to become norms during October. However, on a
positive note, Pluto-Jupiter trine will be responsible for an
emergence of a new philosophy, and people will welcome this
philosophy as a refreshing change in their lives. Religious
leaders who are ready to embrace this liberal yet morality based
philosophy are likely to see their popularity on rise.
Major planetary configurations that are
going to influence news around the world in October are:
Neptune-Uranus ninefold quincunx, Uranus-Pluto ninefold (Sept 24-Oct
11) and Saturn-Mars regular squares, Pluto-Neptune (Sept 10-Oct 6), Uranus-Rahu
(Sept 3-Oct 5) ninefold and Pluto-Jupiter regular trines, and Pluto-Saturn
(Oct 7-26)
ninefold sextile, and retrograde Mercury, Venus, and Saturn. While the favorable ninefold trines
and sextiles will be responsible for world
stability and prosperity, the retrograde Saturn, Venus, and Mercury
along with the squares and quincunx will likely to unfavorably tilt the overall
balance more towards pessimism and frustration.
The countries that are likely to
dominate media will be: United States, Russia, Iraq, Israel, Palestine, and some
European and Middle-East countries. Religions around the world are
likely to experience transformation that are likely to be more
inline with people's needs and creativity. However, a possibility
exists that major world religions may find themselves on a
collision course, but in my opinion, humanity will prevail in
subverting the likely disaster.

United
States
of America: Neptune-Uranus
ninefold quincunx is likely to create an environment of deception
at workplaces, social gatherings, and political rallies. It
would be difficult to separate reality from deception. The relationship
between Russia and USA (particularly Bush administration) is
likely to become more strained, and as a result, President Bush
will find himself frustrated in carrying out his crusade of
dethroning of Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq. President Bush and
his administration must be careful in dealing with his allies, and based on his
progressive chart, he is likely to face an uphill battle both at
home (Republicans) and abroad (allies) in convincing them the need
for overthrowing the Saddam Hussein's regime, and subsequently may
be forced to abandon
his idea of taking Saddam Hussein's regime out sometimes in October or
November. If not, he is destined to face a very challenging and
frustrating fall and possibly winter with a failed mission. From health standpoint,
it would be prudent of him to take extra care of his health and safety during this
month.
During
the second week of October (Oct 12-15) the Republican party is likely
to suffer a political setback. In general, both democrats and
republicans are likely to play safe with least amount of friction
between them at least
until the fourth week of the month. Extreme weather conditions and
a possibility of a severe natural or man-made disaster is likely
during the first eleven days of the month.
·
Russia: Despite
a likelihood of strenuous relationship with Bush administration
Putin administration should have relatively easy time during Oct
7-26. The economic progress will continue unabated. However,
a possibility of a political or social crisis during Oct 12-15
period can not be ruled out.
·
Europe: October is not going to be so bad
for Europe. Besides a likelihood of either natural or man-made
calamity during the second week of the month, the continent should
experience a smooth sailing though this month.
·
India
and Pakistan: For the subcontinent the period
of October 12-15 is not favorable. During
those days the
tension along the border and cross-border terrorism is likely to rise.
·
Religion: In
general, October may prove to be a crucial month for world
religions. While a lot of progress is expected in expanding
religious activities all around the world, a possibility of
religious turmoil exists, especially in the United States, during October
18-22 period. In addition, there is a possibility that major world religions may find themselves on a
collision course, but in my opinion, it's likely to be a short lived
event.
·
Natural and
Man-made Calamities:
Except for the first eleven days, October, will likely to be a relatively quiet month. More accident prone period, in my opinion, will be
October 1-11, and perhaps October 12-15 affecting mostly United
States, Israel, and Palestine.
While
man-made calamities may manifest themselves in terrorism, unrest,
violence, and accidents, the natural calamities are likely to
include extreme weather conditions such as severe cold winters, and equally intensive droughts; and thunderstorms, earthquakes, air
crashes
and fires.
