USA - ECONOMIC OPTIMISM 2012

Col. Gour had written on 6 Oct 2009 about the economic revival in US from 2011 in the following piece :
OBAMA AND US ECONOMIC REVIVAL COL. AK GOUR
6 October 2009, 7:28 PM -- The mahadasha of Moon ends in October 2011. Mahadasha of Mars the yoga karaka for America commences in 2011. It is this dasha that is expected to pull America out of crisis..
Shri KN Rao had foreseen this much earlier and mentioned it that US recession will end in 2011.

Now read a report in the New York Times:U.S. Economy Gains Steam as 200,000 Jobs Are Added -- Joe Raedle/Getty Images By SHAILA DEWAN January 6, 2012 -- Employers in the United States added 200,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department said Friday, a report that came on the heels of a flurry of heartening economic news and signaled gathering momentum in the recovery. Consumer confidence lifted, factories stepped up production and small businesses showed signs of life. The nation’s unemployment rate fell to 8.5 percent, its lowest level in nearly three years. --------------

What was either not known to us or was not publicized was a more heartening news as the report states further: “It was the sixth consecutive month that the economy showed a net gain of more than100, 000 jobs — not enough to restore employment to prerecession levels but enough, perhaps, to cheer President Obama as he enters the election year.”

As the Moon dasha was ending and of Mars about to begin, the process of recovery started as is clear from the report of the New York Times. It was the “sixth consecutive month” says the report, which means, that the process of recovery started from June 2011 in the antardasha of Sun in the mahadasha of Moon.

Some controversies
In dealing with the horoscope of USA and repeating the cycle of Vimshottari dasha gives such good and dependable results setting at rest some controversies.

1) Some people do not use any horoscope for a nation which is a superstition. A nation is born, like a human being, has its infancy, quarrels, (wars in this case), growth, decay and is reborn, if it is split, and another nation is born out of it. Predictions made about the nations without their horoscopes are mostly a blind shot in a void. Chakras help in giving hints about the directions in which events are likely to take place but not the nature of the event.

2) Vimshottari dasha is applied to the chart of a country as, to that of an individual and, as in Yogini dasha and Chara dasha or some shorter dashas, if one cycle is over, the next cycle should be applied and -this is very important- combined with the New Year horoscope, year after year and synthesized.

See for example the excellent New Year horoscope of USA for the year 2011 with excellent eleventh house and Saturn in the fifth house, strengthening the eleventh house.

Mahadasha of Moon (13 October 2001) - Antardashas beginnings : Moon 13 August 2001, Mars 14 March 2003, Rahu 11 September 2004, Jupiter 11 January 2006, Saturn 13 August 2007, Mer 11 January 2009, Ketu 12 August 2009, Venus 13 April 2011, Sun 13 October 2011

The job growth in USA since June 2011 as reported in the New York Times comes in the Hindu New Year 2011.

3) The major controversy is about the correct horoscope of USA. The one being used here is the only correct one as has been repeatedly argued and shown and successful predictions given. The most spectacular one was the one given by me in an article in the Star Teller,( which was mentioned prominently in the Nostradamus  Award given to me) and that was “the Declining years of USA” in the mahadasha of Moon and its involvement in wars.  

Major part of the Moon dasha coincided with the tenure of President Bush, his vindictive war on Iraq, without finding any weapons of mass destruction, after getting involved in Afghanistan. This disastrous decision led to steep economic decline of USA since 2003 which president Obama inherited.

We, myself, Col. Gour and others who follow this horoscope of USA and make effective use of the New Year horoscopes of different countries, clearly saw the year 2011 coinciding with the beginning of the mahadasha of Mars, the yogakaraka in the eleventh house as a self-evident point of optimism.

In the meantime, some people very impatient with the slow, imperceptible recovery of US economy wrote to me private emails accusing me and Col. Gour of predicting wrongly about 2011 being the year of economic recovery in USA!

Let it be clear, it is the beginning of recovery and not total recovery. It can be predicted further that in the antardasha of Jupiter and Saturn, USA will either find a substitute for petrol, for which it is heavily dependent on west Asian countries, or begin to operate intensely its own oil reserves in the Arctic region which it has kept reserved for meeting some future oil shock and crisis.

What has happened can be summed up by quoting an extract from the Economist:http:// www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2012/01/
Something is working - Jan 6th 2012, 15:49 by R.A. | CHICAGO
“But America's employment picture looks better now than it has in years and—for the moment—indicators point toward continued strengthening. Shocks, expected or unexpected, may trample on this rosy outlook, as occurred in 2010 and 2011. But there is also the prospect that firms and individuals across the economy, having waited so long for something that seems a durable recovery, will take these signs as the signal to begin investing and hiring in earnest at long last.” -----------

President Obama welcomed it and said The Washington Times: Obama touts job numbers, banking pick - By Susan Crabtree - Friday, January 6, 2012
President Obama hailed Friday’s positive economic report showing a burst of hiring and lower unemployment figures than expected as evidence that his administration’s policies are getting the country back on track. “Altogether more private sector jobs were created in 2011 than any year since 2005,” Mr. Obama said during a visit to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Friday. “There are a lot of people that are still hurting out there. After losing more than 8 million jobs in the recession, obviously we have a lot more work to do. But it is important for the American people to recognize that we’ve now added 3.2 million new private sector jobs over the last 22 months — nearly 2 million jobs last year alone.” ------------------

But then in an election year, the Republicans will attack this optimism and we will watch more drama.
