December is going to witness the manifestation of retrograde
Mars and more importantly the first conjunction of
Jupiter and Pluto (Dec 7 - 16) in sidereal Sagittarius
since the Pluto was discovered.
Sagittarius is a mutable and fire sign, and it
deals with philosophy, morality and religion. Since Jupiter will be in
conjunction with Pluto, the possibility of a severe
religious or morality crisis is very likely. Our age-old beliefs will be
tested. Certainly the present
religious and morality based norms will be challenged by the new spiritual forces of
human evolution. The contemporary philosophers, reformers, scientists, writers,
poets, and all those who have power to influence people with their unique
intelligence will enjoy this period to its fullest. In addition, the influence of contemporary spiritual leaders on society will
shape the future direction of our social evolution through the theosophical and
metaphysical debates.
The
retrograde Mars in sidereal Gemini will continue to be
responsible for economical and global trade related
crisis. Although it's a short term, the economical and
political shocks
that the world is going to experience due to the
retrograde Mars will continue to be intense and will be
reflected in increased political tension among developed
nations, wild fluctuations in world financial markets, and destruction of wealth due to natural calamities or man made
accidents. Other possibilities include blackouts in major
cities, espionage in communication area, and failures of diplomatic efforts
between nations. In addition, military personnel all around the
world will likely to be confused with their goals and
will undergo a transformation, and as a result, they may
end up abandoning their original efforts and goals.
Other important planetary configurations for December are:
Pluto-Saturn ninefold square (Nov 6 - Dec 24) and
Uranus-Saturn ninefold trine (Nov 20 - Jan 1),
Mars-Jupiter opposition (Dec 24-28) and Mars-Pluto
opposition (Dec 31 - Jan 5).
The Mars-Jupiter opposition may reflect in some creative form
of religious or moral manifestation. It's an auspicious
opposition providing a definite direction for a stalled
situation for religious leaders and reformers. The
Mars-Pluto opposition, which occurs just before the
beginning of January and last through January 5, may
become responsible for an escalating tension in the
Middle East, and for unfortunate incidents that include
both man-made and natural calamities all around the
world.
While the Pluto-Saturn ninefold square is going to be
responsible for continued violence and terrorism in
Middle-East (Iraq, Iran, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and
Pakistan region) and perhaps social crisis in Russia and
China, the auspicious ninefold Uranus-Saturn trine
will be positive for the United States, and it will be
reflected in economic expansion, advances in technology and science,
more research breakthroughs in biotechnology, medicine,
high tech industry and engineering sciences.
The countries that are likely to make headline news will be: Pakistan,
Unites
States, Iraq, Afghanistan,
Israel, Palestine, Russia and China.
- United States of America:
President Bush and his administration:
President Bush's most operating and one of the currently dominating
planets, Ketu (South lunar node) will transit though the 8th
house of his ninefold progressive chart during December.
Therefore, he is
likely to suffer a series of setbacks in carrying out his policies both domestic (immigration) and
international (Iraq post war, Pakistan turmoil, and
Middle-East peace summit).
In addition, his other operating planet Pluto quincunxes his natal
Saturn during the the first half of December, and it
will reflect in his inability of governing the country and
poorly dealing with international dignitaries.
On a positive a note, with Neptune's trine with his natal
Rahu and Uranus, he still can, with the help of his
advisors, manage to salvage his presidency by not taking
the country in the extreme downhill direction.
The Country:
As mentioned earlier, the retrograde Mars in sidereal Gemini will
continue to manifest in the form of natural
and mostly man-made calamities during the entire month
and beyond. U.S. Military personnel will
likely to become odds with their non-military
counterparts such as the State department and like.
Jupiter's entry in Sagittarius is positive for the
country from the spirituality standpoint. The possibility of a severe
religious or morality crisis is very likely especially during the second week of
December. The current belief systems
will come under fire and will be tested. Certainly the
present
religious and morality based norms will be challenged by the new spiritual forces of
human evolution.
The auspicious ninefold Uranus-Saturn trine will be
positive for the United States, and it will be reflected
in economic expansion, advances in technology and science,
more research breakthroughs in biotechnology, medicine,
high tech industry and engineering sciences. It is also
positive for the democratic party.
Pluto-Saturn ninefold square will be dramatic
and will force the Republican party to be transformed
with a new set of objectives. As a result, the Republican
party will continue to go through a severe period of
negativity before it reaches its stability.
·
Russia: Until December 24, the Pluto-Saturn ninefold
square is not positive for Russia and the Putin
administration. Russia is likely to be drawn in
international politics with more vulnerability. Perhaps
Russian policy may manifest as a source for increased
tension between Iran and the United States. In general,
except for the last week, the entire month
is not positive for the country.
During this period man-made and natural calamities are likely.
The relationship between the USA and Russia will
continue to be strained during this month.
·
Europe: Uranus-Saturn ninefold trine
will certainly be positive for European Union from
economic progress standpoint. The Euro will continue to
rise against US dollar and other international
currencies. However, the Pluto-Saturn ninefold square
may become responsible for political instability
and natural and man-made disasters.
·
China, Japan, and Pacific-rim countries:
For China the picture looks mixed. On one hand, the
economic progress will continue at a phenomenal rate,
but the Pluto-Saturn ninefold square (until December 24)
is not positive from political stability and social
unrest standpoint. Also, during this period natural
and man-made calamities are likely.
·
Middle East: The Pluto-Saturn
ninefold square is going to be responsible for continued
violence and terrorism in Middle-East (Iraq, Israel,
Palestine, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Pakistan region)
during the first three weeks of the month. The notable dates for violence
related activities are: December 1-24.
·
Religion: Since Jupiter will be in
conjunction with Pluto during the second week of the month, the possibility of a severe
religious or morality crisis during that period is very likely. Our age-old beliefs will be
tested. Certainly the present
religious and morality based norms will be challenged by the new spiritual forces of
human evolution.
·
Natural and Man-made Calamities: The likely notable dates are:
Dec 11-13, 17-19, 24-28.
Earthquakes: Based on our earthquake
prediction model, the earthquake(s) of magnitude 7 or
higher, if occur, are likely to occur on December 9,
13-14, 18, 21-22 and 29-31.
While man-made
calamities may manifest themselves in terrorism, unrest,
violence, accidents, and air crashes, the natural
calamities are likely to include extreme weather
conditions such as severe cold winters, and equally
intensive droughts, hurricanes or typhoons,
thunderstorms, earthquakes and fires
