Denmark

The Kingdom of Denmark (Danish: Kongeriget Danmark) is the largest of the five Nordic countries (offshore territories Greenland and the Faroe Islands included). It is one of the three Scandinavian countries although the mainland is located north of its only land neighbour, Germany.

As the Danish liberal and national movement gained momentum (1830s), and following the European Revolutions of 1848 Denmark peacefully became a constitutional monarchy on 5 June 1849.

Leo lagna rises with Rahu in it indicating a princely yoga for enjoying life with all its blessings. Lagna lord Sun a royal planet is in the 10th house indicating that the royalty shall continue to head the nation (10th house shows the leader). Leo shows the Privy Council Statsrôdet, which is headed by the monarch (Sun is the lord in 10th house) and whose protocols are secret (Rahu in Leo). The 10th lord Venus is in the 9th house shows the Prime Minister heading the Cabinet who exercises the executive authority on behalf of the monarch (Venus is the dispositor the Sun). Aries, the ninth house is the Folketing (national legislature) having ultimate legislative authority to make all laws (dharma) according to the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty. Agni trines tend to follow the period of 4 years in democracy (USA with Sagittarius lagna also has elections every 4 years) and elections to the Folketing are held every four years.

The 4th house shows the land describing the Kingdom/nation-state. Scorpio is the 4th house with the debilitated Moon in it and the 4th lord Mars is ill placed in Pisces (ocean) with the 6th lord (enemy) Saturn. The Second War of Schleswig started with the joint armies of Prussia and Austria marching on Denmark on 5 February 1864 [Mercury dash¬a Saturn antardasha Venus pratyantara]. Denmark was defeated in October 1864 [Mercury dasha Saturn antardasha Mars pratyantara] and was forced to cede Schleswig and Holstein. Mercury is not only a dire malefic for Leo lagna but is also very malefic for the 4th house and is placed in the 11th house (8th from 4th house) and aspects Mars and Saturn in the 8th house by rashi drishti. The 8th house is aptly called the caturashras meaning shelter or protection of the home and property and malefic planets in this house can destroy the property. The 4th house in the navamsha is Sagittarius having the Moon in papakartari (scissors) yoga between Mars and Saturn who have exchanged signs to form dainya parivartana yoga. While all this makes Saturn very malefic, Mars plays a dual role as it is also subhapati (dispositor of the Moon) and being exalted in navamsha besides a yogakaraka, it will work towards the benefit of Leo.

Extracts from Narayana Dasa book (c) Sanjay Rath

Erstwhile USSR

There were two revolutions in 1917 in Russia. The first set up a provisional government and the other was the overthrow of the same to establish communism for the first time in the world. The revolution headed by Lenin made a start at 2:00’ AM on 7 November 1917 and the proclamation was made at about 10 AM at Leningrad. Subsequently, the Foundation of the USSR was laid on 30 December 1922 at 8 PM in Moscow. As explained earlier, the political movements have various events and what the Jyotish should look for is ‘proclamations’ or ‘declarations’ of independence or a new regime. Thereafter the new regime/ authority will take some time to draft out the laws and other tools to govern the land. This subsequent date should be treated as the ‘start of the new law’. In India, these are the declaration of independence on 15 August 1947 and acceptance of the new constitution by the Republic on 26 January 1950. The former date is vital to determine the strength, weaknesses and life of the new order of governance.
