The Coronavirus Pandemic has created a global crisis with far-reaching social, economic and spiritual repercussions. Our resilience during these challenging times will be tested not only by how we combat the spread of the Virus but also how we make the best out of the circumstance. While it is important to take this pandemic seriously and act responsibly it is definitely not the time to panic. Beating the Virus requires collective action. It’s imperative that everyone follows the rules like staying clean, washing the hands frequently, maintaining social distance etc. Initially, they might appear challenging, but they aren’t hard to practice.

COVID-19 Why Coronavirus Began in China?

R S Maniam

With a string of titles and awards given by different groups for his proficiency in astrology, Jothida Acharya R. S. Maniam had worked as a Medical Enforcement Officer in profession and currently is a clinical instructor and coordinator at Lincoln University College in Malaysia. He has been described by Bhagavan Sri Sathya Saibaba as ‘Divine Astrologer’ and he has been awarded the Nostradamus award in 2010. He has had his spiritual training under Swami Bramma Sri Sivananda, Ponnamaravathi, Puthukottai District in South India. Mr. Maniam, with an experience of over 36 years in the study of astrology, has contributed many articles to various journals on different aspects of mundane astrology. He attributes his initial learning to Dr. B. V. Raman’s books, later having studied under late Mr. Muthuratina Bharathi. He has been honored the title Jothida Acharya, Jothida Gaurau and Jothida Kalamani by various organizations. He has been doing spiritual sadhana at Laksmy Mantralaya being a senior disciple of Swami Bramma Sri Sivananda.

The world is shocked by the outbreak of the epidemic which began in China. The fear has escalated as it is being declared as a global pandemic. It is a major outbreak of disease on large scale after SARS that started in China in late November 2002. We can attempt to analyze the outbreak using the horoscope of Republic of China as birth chart of the nation, with 1/10/1949 as the primary chart. Since the COVID-19 outbreak began in late November and December 2020, we can use the lunar chart to establish a celestial link to the fearing disease. We can use the Vikari Margashirsha lunar chart which began on 26/11/2019 at 23: 06 taking Beijing as capital of China and followed by Lunar chart of Vikari Pusya which began on 26/12/2019 at 13:13 hrs. To support some findings, Solar ingress into Aries for 2019 can be used too. What does the lunar chart of Vikari Margashirsha indicate? The Chart has Leo rising, with Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Ketu in the 5th house. The worst malefic for Leo Lagna, Saturn afflicting the 5th house of Purva punya. It also has the affliction of Ketu. Saturn/Ketu association in the 5th house depicts a curse of previous birth and normally causes birth with defects.

Does the Vikari Margashirsha lunar month chart show in Kala Chakra Chart?

The first lunar chart Vikari Margashirsha shows a Kala Chakra, where the planets transit in the direction of Nirutthi and Yama. These directions bring about fear, disaster and death. The direction of Nirutthi depicts the curse of the Gods. The planets are in constellation of Mula and Purvashada. Most of the planets confined to the South and South-west directions which depict curse and sorrowful incidents.

THE ASTROLOGICAL eMAGAZINE May 2020 22 www.astrologicalmagazine.com

Does the Vikari Pushya Kala Chakra show any direction in special link? Yes! The lunar month of Vikaari Pusya shows planetary pooling in the direction of North west which is ruled by Vayu, the wind God and it depicts wandering, major shift of place and form of migration. The medical mode of spread of COVID-19 is through air in the form of droplets emitted by the carrier or the diseased person. What are the astrological findings associated in Republic chart of China?

Republic of China has Capricorn rising and Lagna and Moon falls in the same sign. Most significant in The word Corona is related to the the chart is the current transit of planet Sun. Does the horoscope show Saturn over the rising sign of China any relation? and the Natal Moon. The renowned saint Pulappani has narrated in his There is an association of the Sun with stanza "When Moon crosses 12,1, lunar southern node Ketu. In the natal and 2 sign from the natal Moon, one chart, retrograde Mercury and Sun will undergo sickness, bodily joined with Ketu in the 9th house of the ailment, suffering, theft, poverty Republic. However, eclipse occurred 22 and wandering and shift of place, days later in the 10th house from the theft and loss of dear ones in the natal horoscope. The affliction in the 9th family.” Since China has both Natal house only shows curse of the ancestors rising and Moon rising in the same and Gods. The recent eclipse, the same sign of Capricorn, the effect will be And when SARS was first reported in lunar southern node occurred on double folded.

Based on this chart, the lagna rising falls in the first Drekana of Leo at 2:47 Deg.Min. This is the first decanate of Leo described as "A vulture and jackal” seated on a cotton tree, a dog is near, and a man has poor attire (Alan Leo) and dirty ( Chitamabaranatha iyer) lamenting for his parents (Crying, by Nadesa Sasthri).

COVID-19 Coronavirus Naadi Astrology Based Analysis H. Ramadas Rao

H Ramadas Rao was born in 1952 in a traditional Madhva Brahmin family of Kashyapa Maharshi lineage from Surathkal near to Mangalore. Through the Blessings of Shri Raghavendra Swami Ji of Mantralaya, he started learning Jyotish with the books written by Shri B.V. Raman. In 1991, he got a Mantra Diksha from a Shri Vidya Upasaka from Udupi. His interest in Jyotishya increased and he studied Jaimini Jyotishya and later Nadi Jyotishya from Shri R.G. Rao. He regularly writes articles on Nadi Jyotishya on his Facebook page and currently teaching Nadi Jyotish in Surathkal.

By this time many experienced Astrologers have analysed about this deadly disease COVID-19 and gave their expert predictions. Even a young boy of 16 also has predicted almost 7 months before about this disease but it got published very recently. Even the famous Nostradamus has written about this disease in 1551 through his prophesy. This is only an analysis of this disease as when it started and which planetary combinations have taken part in the formation of this deadly virus and when it may end. With the Blessings of Guru Shri R. G. Rao, I am going to analyse the present pandemic disease Covid-19 through Naadi Astrology principles.

To start with we must know some basic Karakatwas of planets. Here the most important planet in consideration is Shani whom we consider him for day to day life activities or the Karma of everybody. Ketu is a planet of breaking anything related to Karma. Ketu is also responsible for the formation of deadly viruses when he gets certain planetary configuration. Rahu is the planet of communication or spreading the virus. As he is in Mithuna Rashi, it indicates nose and throat parts of human beings. Dhanus Rashi is the Moola Trikona Rashi of Guru, the Jiva Karaka.

To start with in 2019, Shani was retrograde from 30/4/2019 to 18/9/2019. At this time, Shani Retrograde was in Dhanu Rashi and Ketu also was in Dhanu Rashi and both were in Dhanu Rashi ruled by Guru, the Jiva Karaka while Guru was in Keeta Rashi of Vrschika. Shani even though retrograde till 18/9/2019, he lost Graha Yuddha with Ketu on 24/6/2019 and it was decided by Ketu to stop day to day activities ruled by Shani.

THE ASTROLOGICAL eMAGAZINE May 2020 28 www.astrologicalmagazine.com

But the time has to come to take over by Ketu. For 2 days from 16/9/2019 to 18/9/2019, Shani was in Retro- Stambhana. When Shani became direct on 18/9/2019, again he was in Stambhana mode.

So totally Shani was helpless and Ketu, the significator of virus started acting. Now the sign lord of these 2 planets is Guru and was placed in Vrschika Rashi which is a Keeta Rashi lorded by Kuja. Now if we look at the sign lord of Guru, Kuja is with Surya in Simha Rashi on 16th of September which gives a suspicion that some country leader may be involved in this deadly virus production. But Surya was in end of Simha Rashi and next day, he was about to move to Kanya Rashi lorded by Budha. So, this leader wants to involve in a business through which he can control the world. Now on the same day, if we look to Chandra’s position it was in Meena Rashi/Pisces sign ruled by Guru. Thus, Ketu links with Chandra indicating the virus testing was started as Guru, the Jiva Karaka was in trine to Chandra and also he is the sign lord of Ketu + Shani. Also, Budha, the planet of multiplicity was exalted but the time has to come to spread this deadly virus. Please note that all planets are held between Ketu and Rahu forming a perfect Kalamrita Yoga. As per live science website, the 1st case of known Corona virus was traced back on 17/11/2019.

On this day, Chandra was in Mithuna Rashi along with Rahu and are in trines to Budha (V) + Kuja placed in Tula Rashi and in Dhanus Rashi, we have Guru + Shani + Ketu. This is the perfect combination of planets for virus transmission. Guru has just entered Dhanus Rashi indicating Jiva Karaka. Day to day life Karaka Shani has already crossed Ketu in Dhanus Rashi which indicates Shani has taken the malefic energy of Ketu. Ketu was heading towards Guru, the Jiva Karaka. But it was kept secret as Shukra was in Keeta Rashi of Vrishcika ruled by Kuja. On 26/12/2019, there was Annular Solar Eclipse and it occurred on Dhanus Rashi, Moola Nakshatra where along with Surya and Chandra, Ketu, Budha, and Guru were also in Moola Nakshatra indicating a dreaded danger to the universe due to Virus outbreak.

29 May 2020 THE ASTROLOGICAL eMAGAZINE www.astrologicalmagazine.com

The above is Ketu Grasta Surya Grahana. In Dhanu Rashi there is a cluster of planets i.e., Surya + Chandra + Budha + Guru + Shani + Ketu. Surya and Chandra indicate eyes and they are afflicted by Ketu as he is coming near to both of them. This means the universe has been made blind by Ketu, the Karaka for Virus. Shani has already crossed Ketu and has started to enter in day to day lives of human beings. Guru, the Jiva or Prana is running in his own Moola Trikona Sthana to protect himself as Ketu is coming in opposite direction (behind) to swallow him. But during this running of Guru called Ati Chara, he became afraid energy was in Vrishcik Rashi only. so Surya also will be afflicted. As a or Bheeta and gets in hand of Ketu. He entered Dhanu Rashi on 8th of result, cat, tiger etc. may be This happens between 3/1/2020 and February, 2020, slowly the number attacked with Corona virus. This 6/1/2020. So, Guru takes the energy of Virus affected patients started may continue after Surya enters of Ketu further till the end of his increasing. Between 23 and 24 of Mesha Rashi on 14/4/2020 when Rashi and enters his sign of February, Kuja lost war with Ketu, both Rahu and Surya aspect each debilitation, Makara Rashi. so the energy of the human beings other. Also, some powerful affected by Virus has reduced and so country king/president/prime On the day of Solar eclipse, Virus took over the charge. minister will be attacked with B u d h a , t h e p l a n e t o f Corona Virus and the result may multiplication has just entered Now Budha, the planet of be fatal. Dhanu Rashi, so the disease multiplication has moved to started slowly increasing. On Makara and then to Kumbha From 28/3/2020, Shukra will enter 3/1/2020, Budha got completely Rashi on 31/1/2020 and suddenly its own Rashi of Vrishabha which afflicted by Ketu as he lost war with the number of patients started will be in trine to Guru + Shani in Ketu. As he moves very fast increasing as Rahu was in trine to Makara Rashi. So new types of (inferior planet), there was an Budha. From 17/2/2020, he became medicines will be invented along increase in number of patients. retrograde. This means he started with gain in energy. But he will be looking at Makara Rashi where retrograde from 13/5/2020 to Rahu is a planet of spreading as he Shani is placed, thus interfering 25/6/2020. At this time, both is also the sign lord of Mithuna more with day to day life of the Surya and Budha also will be in Rashi whose sign lord Budha gets human beings. Budha became direct Vrishabha Rashi and this Shukra his aspect link. Now Mithuna Rashi on 10/3/2020 and suddenly there is the lord of Lagna of Indian indicates right hand but as Rahu was was rise in the number of patients Independence. So, Ayurveda type transiting in that sign, the left- and death also. Now he will be of medicine will be invented and handed work has started by some entering Meena Rashi, his sign of tested for human beings during country. So, the increase in debilitation on 7/4/2020. He will be this time as Budha is the Karaka number of Virus patients started leaving this Rashi on 25/4/2020. But for green leaves and medicinal more and more when Budha came he will have a link with Ketu as both leaves. to Dhanu Rashi and gets afflicted Rashis are owned by Guru who is by Ketu and Rahu. By January also debilitated. So till he reaches 15 On 11/5/2020, Shani becomes 13, Budha had won war with degrees in Meena Rashi, there will retrograde in Makara Rashi Shani, the planet of day to day life. be a lot of casualties related to followed by Guru also will become So, from this day, there started a Corona Virus i.e., till 16th of April. retrograde from 14/5/2020. But huge number of Virus affected both will be in Stambhana state patients all over the world. After this date, some medications from 4+4 days before and after the will start working.

THE ASTROLOGICAL eMAGAZINE May 2020 30 www.astrologicalmagazine.com

Here I would like to explain the main purpose of Shani + Guru + Shukra retrogression. Shukra being in his swakshetra getting retrograde means he gains more strength to stop the fatality of the problems caused by the spread of Corona Virus. Supporting to human day to day life Karaka Shani who also becomes retrograde, so he also becomes more stronger to solve the problems of mankind. Now let me explain about retrograde Guru who is in Makara Rashi where he is debilitated. He is getting retrograde means he starts looking at the back door of his own powerful house, Dhanus Rashi where he saw the problem maker, destiny breaker Ketu has started leaving Dhanus Rashi. As able to get rid of Ketu’s mischievous Chakra destroys both Rahu, the Virus retro Guru gets the support of deeds. spreading planet and Ketu, the retro Shani + retro Shukra + Karaka for Virus creator. Now to end this article, I would like to Budha + Surya, he will start his explain one more chart as below: On 21/5/2020, Rahu will be leaving journey to his powerful Rashi of Aridra Nakshatra and will enter Dhanus through back door of his In this chart, all planets are in the Mrigashira-4th Pada. Thus, his Rashi and starts chasing Ketu. He same Rashis as in previous chart spreading power will slowly will be entering to Dhanus Rashi on except Budha has moved to his own reduce. Budha, then enters its own 29/6/2020 and becomes more Rashi of Mithuna and crossed the Rashi of Mithuna on 24/5/2020 and powerful. This is how Jiva Karaka longitude of Rahu, so has won the war slowly prepares war with Rahu. Also Guru gets strengthened and with the with Rahu and thus Lord Vishnu, the retro Guru will be chasing Ketu from support of the planets above, will be personification of Budha with his Makara Rashi.

On 29/5/2020, Budha will win the war with Rahu and becomes more stronger to remove the evil effects of both Rahu. Once the virus spreading planet Rahu has lost its powers, it cannot spread virus to anywhere in the Universe. There is one more thing to be written here. On 18/6/2020, Budha who will be in Mithuna Rashi will become retrograde in Punarvasu Nakshatra 1st Pada. This clearly indicates Lord Vishnu (Deity of Budha) will be chasing Rahu from behind. This retrogression of Budha will end on 12/7/2020 and he will be at 11 Degrees 21 minutes of Mithuna Rashi and Rahu will be at 3 Degrees 51 minutes of Mithuna Rashi.

Here when Budha becomes will chase Ketu who will be at 4 enters back Dhanus Rashi will retrograde he becomes more Degrees 33 Minutes. This will become immensely strong to chase stronger to chase Rahu, thus continue till September 13th when Ketu and his malefic effects on earth. nullifying the malefic effects of Guru becomes direct. On this date, The above analysis is through the Rahu. Ketu will be at 0 Degree 32 Minutes. blessings of my Guru, Ishta Devatha, Lastly on 29/6/2020, Guru in So, this clearly indicates even though Kula Devatha and Naadi Guru Shri R. retrograde motion enters its own Budha crosses Rahu’s longitude on G. Rao whose Atma has helped me to Moola Trikona Rashi of Dhanus and 29/5/2020, Guru retrograde when write this article.

The Astrological eMagazine Panchanga for May 2020

First column gives the English dates and next to it the names of the regional months and dates. The ending moments of Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana are given in the 24 hour clock extending to 30 hours. Of the Nityayogas, Vishkumbha, Parigha, Vyatipata, Vajra, Vyaghata, Vaidhruthi, Sula, Ganda and Atiganda are generally spurned for auspicious events and they are marked in red in the Panchanga. Vydhruti pervades from 346°40’ to 360° and Vyatipata from 213°20’ to 226°40’ of the sum of the Nirayana longitudes of the Sun and the Moon. Vydhruti and Vyatipata punyakaala are observed on the day when the yogas prevail for 1½ hours or more, when Sraddha is performed by the astute. These two belong to the shannavati -96- Sraddhas ordained for a householder. Considering the astronomical implications, the Sayana Vydhruti and Vyatipata days are also indicated in the Panchanga. The auspicious Amritayoga and Siddhayoga and inauspicious Maranayoga and Prabalarishtayoga come under Amirtaadiyoga scheme and are different from the Nityayogas. The Karana is the half of the Tithi. They are mainly classified as Sthira - fixed or immovable and Chara or moveable. The Chara Karanas are seven in number and the Sthira are only four. The fixed ones are inauspicious. They are Sakuni, Chatushpada, Naga and Kimsatugna. The seven movable Karanas are in their order, Bava, Baalava, Kaulava, Taitila, Gara, Vanija and Vishti (or Bhadra.) Among the movable Karanas Vishti or Bhadra is considered to be of dreadful. The forbidden Karanas are marked in red for easy identification. We have most of our religious observances pegged on to the Tithis. Pournamipooja Chandradarisana, Sankataharachaturthi Vrata, Shastivrata, Ekadasi Vrata and Pradosha are specially mentioned in the Panchanga. Pournamipooja is done in the evenings on days the full Moon is prevalent. Chandradarisana is observed on the evening on the day when the crescent Moon appears for the first time in the west after the Amavasya. Chaturthi of the Krishnapaksha or Bahula Chaturthi of every month is known as Sankataharachaturthi. The evenings of Sukla and Krishna Trayodasi days are specially observed as Pradosha Vrata days.
