On 31 Dec, 2019 China alerts WHO of several pneumonia cases. It was actually COVID-19 taking roots. Later Jan 7, 2020 France confirmed its first case, but by then Wuhan city had already been reeling under the coronavirus.
Jupiter is transiting Sagittarius and is very strong at the tattva level. But Jupiter was conjoined Saturn, Sun and Ketu and aspected by Rāhu. That’s 80% malefic hit on Jupiter confirming the activation of curse of Guru. Mars was not in the picture and instead Mercury was playing miscommunication, misdiagnosis and such games.
By 15 Jan 2020, the picture completely changed with Jupiter conjoining Saturn, Ketu aspected by Rāhu and pāpa kartari (scissor cut) of Mars and Sun. With five malefic planets hit (100%), Jupiter falls, and that too from the sky (tattva level in own sign) and Sagittarius, the natural house of protection for human beings, takes a huge hit. Covid-19 has taken firm roots and deaths are happening.
January ends with the 100% malefic hit on Jupiter continuing but now Saturn (disease) conjoins Sun in the pāpa kartari while the nodes keep Jupiter in check. Panic grips people and governments are also very confused due to Sun-Saturn conjunction.
On 14 Feb 2020 the Sun moves away and the malefic hit on Jupiter reduces to 60% but is of a piśāca nature – panic and fear, lockdowns and closures. Governments (Sun) have started fighting back. Saturn is doing a blockage on Jupiter being in 2nd house from it while the Sun reinforces it being in 2nd from 2nd house reckoned from Jupiter – positive results not forthcoming yet.
Even today, nothing has changed in the skies – the piśāca yoga (Mars +Ketu) hits Jupiter with Rāhu dṛṣṭi. Saturn and Sun are still blocked.
Sun is moving away from the blockage on 15 March 2020 – expect some very good news from the Governments. World scientists are going to find a solution soon. We have a small window of hope between 15-29 March 2020 – 15 days. Is WHO willing to take the risk of using medicine that has not been fully tested in clinical trials? If we do not take the risk, then what is to follow is another story.
On 30 Mar 2020 Jupiter moves into debility in Capricorn, the graveyard with Saturn and Mars (Yama, god of death) waiting for him with the sickle. This terrible phase is from 30 March to 4 May, 2020. This is the climax of the pandemic.
May the world have the protection of Śiva – om juṁ saḥ
