Shadow of Planets on Stock Market - Indian Astrology

By Sunita Chabra US stock markets Nasdaq lost 9.7% and Dow Jones Industrials lost 5.6% on Friday. The ripples reach India, Hong Kong, and Tokyo also. BSE, Sensex nose-dived on Monday. The panic among investors was evident. Software and Technology, which was riding high earlier, landed flat on the ground. Let us astrologically analyze the reason for the stock market crash. In tracing and pinpointing significant events Transit Navamsa Theory is very helpful. A zodiac sign is of 30 degrees and a navamsa denotes 1/9th part of sign. Each navamsa is of 13 degree and 20 minutes. In transit navamsa chart Sun being in Aries and Saturn in Libra fall in the exalted sign. Sun and Saturn are in mutual aspect. As such whenever such an event occurs in transit it is significant. More so, because Mars and Saturn are placed in the same navamsa. Whenever Saturn is exalted (in Libra in transit navamsa chart), Jupiter is in earthy sign and malefic rahu/ketu (true nodes/shadowy planets) casts its shadow market reaches to the lowest rates. On the day the market crashed Mars-Saturn were degreewise in close conjunction. Saturn gives fear factor and Mars triggers the situation. Intensity of the event depends upon the closeness of the planets. Earlier in the April month when Venus, the planet associated with software and technology, was with Saturn in its own Navamsa and under malefic attack prices of software shares crashed. Since Venus was exalted (in Pisces) in the main chart therefore the software shares riding very high were the ones which landed with a thud. The transit of planets in various signs creates rise and fall in the market. A period a trader should watch.
