The Era of Prelude to Punarnava

From the above Samvatsar Chart and ephemeris two planetary facts are crystal clear that one, in the Kaal Purush Chart (taking Aries as Lagna), Saturn is in 12th Rashi alongwith all the planets with Neptune, an extra-saturnine planet except Mars, Jupiter & Ketu; and two, that Pluto is placed in 11th Sign from Saturn’s placement whereas Uranus & Jupiter are in 3rd sign when reckoned from the sign Pisces where Saturn is posited giving rise to Tri-Ekadash Yog that gives extra ordinary powers to Saturn. Everybody knows the chief significator of Saturn is JUSTICE that may be punitive to somebodies and relieving pain to other group of somebodies. Unfortunately Neptune is in the close angular vicinity to Saturn and that makes the Justice, an illusion.

In Roman/Greek mythology, the Saturn is known as Cronus. The actual planet Neptune wasn't discovered until 1846- such a milestone which signaled humanity's preparedness to utilize this planet's energies too with greater social awareness. To my mind, it had taken we astrologers several millennia to absorb the kinder, gentler side of this planetary pattern. This aspect of Neptune most probably got a boost during the development of Piscean water imagery in the earliest stages of Christianity, with Jesus as a living symbol of all those illuminated traits we now expect from the spiritual-savior side of unity-conscious Neptune. This is the side of Neptune all astrologers are familiar with-the one wearing the halo in western astrology.  The other name of Neptune in mythology is Poseidon and he was traumatized with tears of rage just after his birth by his brother Hades (Pluto), accused by someone that turned out a little twisted result than the natural one.

As Poseidon and Hades, Mythological Neptune and Pluto were brothers who shared the traumatizing experience of being swallowed whole by their father Saturn (Cronus) right after birth. Thus, each had first-hand knowledge of complete dark and cramped it can be inside the belly of a prototype that symbolized the entire range of constraints of time and space. At one time Jupiter (Zeus) rescued Neptune &Pluto from their prison, enabling those brothers to choose lots to determine their respective futures. Neptune was to rule the ocean depths while Pluto ruled the Underworld. Neither of these realms was above the ground, continuing the theme of confinement. With Neptune and Pluto, western astrologers associate penetrating depth and the mysteries of darker, unseen forces at work below our threshold of consciousness. Anything in a deeply submerged state corresponds to these twin planets.

It's true that many of us are not going to pick up on these subterranean energies, at least not with any real sense of conscious command and comprehension. However, they in my experience do express form in greater historical situational ways of evolution on the planet Earth Problems that help us feel powerful little rushes of inspiration and understanding. We may also become enthralled by some big scientific or medical breakthrough in the world-and witness, the broader social environment that regenerates and resurrect new sort of world for us in some wondrous manner.

One reason out of many that I delved on here the relationship among Saturn & extra-saturnine planets is that there is no permanency displayed among the trust of siblings in the group of saturnine planets as well as extra-saturnine planets Uranus, Neptune & Pluto vis a vis Saturn. We do attract, attribute and witness changes in sibling relationships that carry Neptunian themes is that this planet is hard for us to exclusively claim for self-seeking purposes. The same is true for Uranus and Pluto. We are also do impelled unconsciously to project some of Neptune's traits onto those people we magnetically draw to us, in manner as a brotherly or a sisterly person or a neighbor. We may also recall the Hindu Mythology w.r.t. the relationship of our DevaGuru Brihaspati and his Brother Samvart as narrated in Shi Mahabharat by Maharshi VedVyas ji as under:

“असुराश्चैव देवाश्च दक्षस्यासन् प्रजापते: ।

अपत्यम् बहुलम् तात संस्पर्धन्त परस्परम् ।। 3 ।।

Asur (Daityas) & Devas (gods) were among the large number of sons of Prajapati Daksha and all those sons were envious of each other mutually.

तथैवांगिरस: पुत्रौ व्रततुल्यौ बभूवतु: ।

बृहस्पतिर्बृहत्तेजा: संवर्तश्च तपोधन: ।। 4 ।।

And accordingly Sage Angiras (one of the Sons of Prajapati Daksha) had two worthy sons by the name of Brihaspati (Jupiter) who was having great aura (Tejas) and the other one by the name of Samvart who had pile/wealth of Penance.

तावतिस्पर्धिनौ राजन् पृथगास्ताम् परस्परम् ।

बृहस्पति: स संवर्तम् बाधते स्म पुनः पुनः ।। 5 ।।

They also had different virtues and nature having differences (pole apart) between them that Brihaspati (Jupiter) used to tease Samvart and create hinderances in all his transactions again and again.

-[Ashvamedha Parva, Chapter -5  Mahabharat]”

It may appear strange to our esteemed readers but the fact is that mythological Neptune (Poseidon) and Jupiter (Zeus) are soul-brothers, suggesting a kinship between these planets too. Astrologically, they have a lot in common. Both are planets that naturally expand and spread out, extending their contacts as broadly as possible without bounds of Horizons. Each of them is faith-oriented and convinced of the power of belief. These planets want to feel uplifted by the ideals they glorify, and are willing to share their vision for the benefit of all. Both can be in needful situations, kind-hearted and philanthropic and genuinely concerned with solving society's ills and improving the world's future. To witness, you can go through the natives Princess Diana and Mother Teresa in individual horoscopy where you find that both were born with Neptune/Jupiter aspects. However, fiery Jupiter is more akin to drum up the will and the assertiveness needed to directly launch its do-good campaigns over the countries in Mundane Astrology than Neptune.

There are thousands of significations attributable among major planets Jupiter, Rahu, Ketu, Saturn and Uranus, Neptune & Pluto but due to paucity of space, I am not going into those hyper-technical & astrological niceties here but touching on those alone that enable us to understand the present & future world scenarios.

Let us come back to the planetary configuration under consideration. Saturn & Neptune are in the Sign Pisces in association with Rahu, Sun, Moon, Mercury (R) and Venus in the Nava Samvatsar Chart. Uranus is in Taurus (entered on 02.06.2024) in association of Jupiter (entered on 30.4.2024). Mars is in Gemini (entered on 26.8.2024) and Ketu is in Virgo (entered in 2023). Pluto is in Capricorn (entered on 25.02.2020). Thus, signs occupied these planets are coming to signify the elements (Pisces-7 planets) Water, (Taurus, Virgo & Capricorn - 4 planets) and Air (Gemini-1 planet). Most importantly, Saturn, Rahu & Neptune are in watery sign and Uranus & Pluto in Earthy signs. The role of Ketu (in dual & earthy sign Virgo), the chief significatory of Mischiefs, secret plots, spying, sabotaging & Conspiracies etc., is also important as, now a days, these significations are collectively known as “strategy” against a competitor on or before the combating situations.

Let me announce a caution to our esteemed readers and astro-scholars that one should not allow the current media-reports any happening in the world’s current affairs but strictly consider only the astrological factors and established principle thereof while arriving at a prediction or analytical results in the field of astrology as such. I have gone through the Major Global Events (January 2022 –5 July 2025), a list enclosed with this articulation as Annexure-GE for the benefit of our esteemed readers to verify them astrologically in their own way as well as input discussed herein by me with reference in general for a few events only to understand the present world scenario astrologically, as it is not possible to discuss all the events mentioned therein within the mandate of this article. These events in Annexure-GE can be appended by the keen readers, with the help of AI driven tools available with them, I suppose.

The Pisces, a watery sign is occupied by Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury (R) but importantly Saturn & Neptune in angular proximity in the Nava Samvatsar Chart (Supra). However, Saturn is in the Nakshatra Purva-Bhadrapada belonging to Jupiter whereas Neptune is in the Nakshatra Uttara-Bhadrapada belonging to Saturn within the orb of 6 degrees on 29.3.2025. whereas, Saturn moves further nearby towards Neptune in the shorter orb on 08.4.25 to 25.4.25            to in the Nakshatra of Jupiter but in the Upa-Nakshtra of Rahu, another first grade deceitful and unbelievable/unreliable planet representative of Yamans, with ill motive associated with Neptune & Saturn in Pisces in the chart. I do not wish to discuss more on the mishap at Pehalgaam, Kashmir India where we lost innocent 27 male-people without a track as to where those dreaded terrorists vanished in sky, air, space or water! Not exactly same but similar terrorist attacks with complicated panning against humanity globally can also be traced during the period 18.2.24 to 23.2.24 & 22.2.25 to 27.2.25 when Saturn was in his own sign Aquarius in the Nakshatra of Rahu and Upa-nakshatra of Ketu.

India Launched Operation Sindoor on 6/7th May, 2025 when Saturn being in Jupiter’s Sign Pisces with Neptune & Rahu but moved to his own Nakshatra as well as Upa-Nakshatra. Rahu also crossed over the Saturn and Neptune moved to Nakshatra of Saturn and Upa-Nakshatra of Ketu (in accordance with Sri Sanatan Ayanamsha). I am not touching the event that lasted for a few days officially till 10th May 2025, from the point of view as to success smiled on whom as I am a firm believer that no war/battle/scuffle leaves humanity unharmed but wish to point out that flowing water in the great Indus River had been made under threat to stop somewhere against the nature of river due for flowing water represented by Jupiter’s Pisces being a dual watery sign and blockages indicated by Saturn whereas schematic dishonoring of an old treaty astrologically vindicated by Upa-Nakshatra lord Ketu for Neptune.    

The success of cease fire between India and its archrival Pakistan may not be of any use for long-run as Saturn & Neptune have to stay together in Pisces for a long period in future with play of Nakshatras/Upa-Nakshatras of Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury & Ketu at least till 31.5.2027. I am not suggesting that Neptune would provide respite from today’s world’s wary situations thereafter.

The month of June 2025 had been a very traumatic & tyrannic period globally in world’s various situations we witnessed. On 12^th June afternoon we witnessed a horrible Air India Dreamliner Boing plane crash within few seconds in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India killing 241 passengers consisting of Crew Members, Indians, Britishers etc. and more than 35 Doctors assembled at Medical Hostel Mess wherein the crash took place instead of reaching Ahmedabad to London. Saturn was in the Nakshatra of Saturn & Upa-Nakshatra of Mercury and Neptune was still in the Nakshatra of Saturn & Upa-Nakshatra of Ketu. Both are in the same watery dual Pisces sign belonging to Jupiter signifying sky & expansion negatived by Rahu therein. Apart from hearty mourning, we stunned Indians could do nothing about it. The guesswork that the engines of plane could not receive fuel despite the fact the fuel tank was full with around 1,25,000 Liters is also vindicated by the astrological observation that fuel being liquid is signified by sign Pisces and Jupiter being the sign & Nakshatra lord of Rahu was instead of remain in high sky & expansion, it was blocked Saturn, Neptune being in Saturn’s Nakshatras and Sun put the fire in crash being Upa-Nakshatra lord. The Upa-Nakshatra lord Ketu of Neptune would not allow me to rule out the probability of some deep-rooted conspiracy too but we would not get any concrete evidence thereabout as we know, Ketu does not have a face to get recognized in Indian Mythology.

On next day, i.e. the 13th June 2025, another shocking news of escalation of missile war between Iran & Israel come on forth that was continuing since many years in the middle east area involving Israel as a proxy of some well-known Super Power, especially more since Pluto entered in Capricorn (on 25.02.2020) Neptune entered Pisces on 18.4.2022 and Uranus entered Taurus on 02.06.2024.

Prior to the above, we have also witnessed the escalation of war visibly between Russia and Ukraine, the proxy of super-power and syndicate of rest of European Powers. Everybody was of the opinion in general that Russia would crush Ukraine within three weeks of commencement of the battle that now touched the borders of possibility of another World War continuing even after 3 years. The readers may decipher the same in the planetary configuration w.r.t. Uranus, Neptune & Pluto on their own.

12th & 13th June of this year were, as if, not enough to satisfy the planetary configuration as discussed above, another bewildering incident happened at Kerala, India wherein, a fighter plane F-35 made in USA dropped itself down on 14th June 2025 due to pronounced reason that it came to get fuel filled in its tank that was not allowed by India in wake of diplomatic relationship with America. Later on, it is discovered that some serious fault had crept in in that highly sophisticated F-35 at Kerala that was also found suspect of spying and collecting strategic data in India to transmit the same to USA through satellites. Though, there is no authentic and official communication from any country is finding place in public domain, the planetary configuration as discussed above for June 2025, in my opinion, cannot rule out the strong possibility thereof.

The surprise visit of good amount of American B-2 Bombers in the night of 22nd June 2025 over the three probable nuclear installations & suspected storage of enriched Uranium of Iran did not, thus, took the world audience to real surprise as they are in know of Nature of Brihaspati of Mahabharat (Jupiter), big brother, Bullying the younger brother since ages. Jupiter in Taurus, a fixed and earthy sign, is associated with Uranus who is always hesitant of accepting the discipline & traditions of yore. It hurts, but no regrets on his part. Rather he proclaimed a cease fire between Iran & Israel thereafter on 25.6.2025. The retaliation by Iran over one of the American Military bases was not reacted upon adequately. On the face of it, the Hon’ble present President of America is eyeing on Noble Peace Prize as he also proclaimed the cease fire between India & Pakistan on and since 10th May 2025 on many forums supported by a proposal from Pakistani Military Chief to this effect, but the real object appears to be Fuel (Oil) Resources of not only Iran but whole of Middle East of the Globe. Many more things/attributes can be inferred by the readers themselves about other events in America also including the affairs of Elon Musk and J. Mamdani.

Mandela (Jr) said that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. The present configuration of major planets including Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are displaying it on broadest canvas of the Globe now today that is going to stay for a couple of Decades at-least.

From the stone age of human civilization to the mid of last century, it was unanimously accepted that wars are fought for three major reasons- one for Zar (wealth), two Jameen (Piece of Lands) and Joru (literally meaning wife but generally a beautiful woman). My esteemed friend and eminent astro-scholar Rev. K.N. Rao who is also accredited to propagate Vedic Astrology in the western world, had reduced it into two reasons only- Heeron हीरों (Dimonds/Wealth) and Hooron हूरों (Beautiful women fantasizing lady angels). I would like to say that we are living in an era where wars are fought for the reasons- one Natural resources on earth, below the earth and above the earth (oil & rare earth material mainly), two- Spectrum-sky-space and third-Hacking-Human Brains & Artificial Intelligence. Thus, be prepared with cope with the significations of Uranus-the God of Sky & Heavens, Neptune- the God of Sea and Pluto-the God of Underworld.
