(In an issue of the Journal of Astrology of 1999, late M.S. Mehta has produced and published a long research on Rahu in Vrisha and its impact on India. Himanshi Gunwant has produced this research on her own, without any guidance yet has succeeded, in getting at the possible results of Rahu in Vrisha. K. N. Rao )
In year 2019, the planetary position of the planets was very important; similarly in the year 2020, many important planetary combinations are going to be formed. The most important transit event of year 2020 is Rahu entering Taurus. Rahu's entry in Taurus results in events like war, famine and communal riots.
When Rahu enters Taurus, it forms the base for these events and destructive events occur; especially when Rahu enters Rohini nakshatra stronger impact on the whole world can be seen. From the time of independence of our country till today, Rahu has transited in Taurus four times and every time this transit has given disastrous results.
Let's see the effect of Rahu's transit in Taurus in the past:
1- Rahu entered Taurus on 10-04-1946 and entered Rohini Nakshatra on 10-09-1946. From 16-08-1946 to 19-08-1946, there were HinduMuslim riots in Calcutta, known as great Calcutta killings, which resulted in the death of 5,000 to 10,000 people. Violence occurred in other parts of the country also.
2- After 18 Years 7 Months, on 16-11-1964, Rahu again transited in Taurus. Between 18-12-1964 to 2312-1964, India's most powerful sea cyclone came in Rameshwaram, in which around 2,000 people lost their lives. The Indo-Pak war of 1965 took place between April 1965 to September 1965.
3- After 18 years 9 months, on 11-08-1983, Rahu entered in Taurus. Operation Blue star was carried out between 01-06-1984 to 08-06-1984 in Golden Temple (Amritsar). On 31-10-1984, violence erupted after Indira's assassination
4- On 28-02-2002, Rahu entered in Taurus, riots broke out after Godhra scandal (from 27th Feb to middle of May 2002)
5- Now, this year Rahu will enter in Taurus, on the night of 19-09-2020 at 09:25 pm. But before understanding the impact of Rahu's transit, let us study the CSP chart i.e. Hindu New year chart 2020, which will clear the situation.
Hindu New Year chart 2020:
In D-1: -Lagna is afflicted by dual aspect of Saturn and Mars. - Mars is in the 7th house, which is the house of war. - Sun and Moon are closely aspected by Saturn. - The degree of Sun and Moon is very close to the degree of Rahu & Ketu. - Venus is in the 10th house, aspected by Mars which indicates war like situation. Venus is the planet of victory during war. In D-9, Mars is aspecting 6th house of clashes and 7th house of war. In D-10, Mars is again aspecting 6th & 7th house.
Next month on 22nd March, Mars will join Saturn in Capricorn sign. After eight days, on 30th March Jupiter will also join this conjunction.
According to our respected Guru Shri K.N. Rao ji, it is necessary to remember that dramatic changes do not occur immediately after the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. But when Mars joins or aspects this conjunction then changes occur, violence happens and major historical events take place.
On 31st March 2020, degree of Saturn, Mars and Moon will be same and degree of Rahu and Ketu will not be far [Saturn 06030’, Mars 06021’, Moon 06016’; Rahu/Ketu 08035’]. This can result in disturbance of peace. Let's see the transit of planets on 31-03-2020. Political instability, religious hysteria, violence, war, strike, public dissatisfaction due to increase in prices, natural calamity can occur.
Another bad situation is also being made, from 5th May to 18th June 2020. During this time, lagna lord of Indian horoscope 'Venus', will be afflicted by Mars in transit.Also from 25th May 2020, India's dasha will be MoonSaturn-Ketu. Ketu is in 7th of war in the Indian Independence horoscope. India's Karka-Makar axis is afflicted by Saturn. This is not a good sign.
Have a look on the horoscope of 19th Sep 2020. On this day at 21:25, Rahu will enter in Taurus (Vrishabh). At this time the rising lagna is also Taurus.
In transit lagna lord Venus is very much afflicted by the aspect of both Mars and Saturn. Whenever Venus gets afflicted, the whole country experiences suffering.
Let's see the planetary position of next year:
1- On the night of 9th Feb 2021 at 22:00, there will be six planets in Capricorn, which is the 9th house of Indian horoscope.
2- In the morning of 13th Feb 2021 around 8:00 am Rahu will enter in Rohini nakshatra.
3- After nine days, on 22nd Feb 2021, Mars will join Rahu in Taurus. When Rahu combines with Mars or Saturn, Rahu becomes an extremely effective destroyer.
Already 4-10 axis is afflicted by Saturn and now 2-8 axis is also afflicted by Rahu & Mars. There will be a war like situation. Dasha of India will be Moon-Saturn-Rahu. Saturn-Rahu is generally a difficult time.
Hindu New Year chart 2021:
In CSP chart of 2021, Mars is aspecting 7th house of war in D-1. In D-9, Mars is aspecting 7th lord Sun.
Tense relations with India would continue to consume much of Pakistan's strategic and diplomatic bandwidth, Islamabad Policy Institute said in its report 'Pakistan Outlook 2020: Politics, Economy & Security'. Chances of limited conflict between India and Pakistan would remain high.
