In October I wrote:

“My feeling is with both the South node and Saturn occupying the sign of Leo, for the next year and a half we will see power structures overturned globally. There is a changing of the guard underway. Let’s just hope it is not too painful. As a precursor to this changing of the guard, British Prime Minister Tony Blair has already stated he will not seek another term. My feeling is in this country, Democrats will reclaim a majority in at least one chamber of Congress. The very strong opposition to President Bush both from Democrats and within his own party will become more aggressive, perhaps even leading to articles of impeachment. This will have a profound effect globally, emboldening our adversaries enforcing very hard decisions upon us. No matter how we look at it, the stature of the United States as a unchecked superpower will be diminished greatly”.

There is a Venus / Saturn Square taking place in the sky right now which is indicative of the current elevated state of unrest in the Middle East — especially relative to international diplomacy, the realm of Venus. As I discuss a couple of weeks ago when Venus moved into Aries, there is a lot more tension, and less capacity for compromise with Venus in Aries, the sign of the Ram. When planets are in a square from each other, there’s a friction that is created. This friction eventually creates movement as the awakened energy seeks a release point. The difficulty is that friction creates heat, and these release points can be flash points if we are not careful. The protests outside of the British Embassy this weekend are scary reminder of the destructive potential.

A couple of weeks ago Saturn and Mars were in opposition to each other. The opposition is also a hard aspect, a transit of friction — from two opposing points of view.
In this country we can see heated rhetoric between Democrats and Republicans — especially the Democratic controlled Congress and the Republican president. The line in the sand has been drawn by the president, promising a veto of legislation that inhibits his open-ended approach to the Iraqi conflict.

The Saturn/Mars opposition reflects these are types.
Mars is the planet of breaking down barriers, Saturn is the planet of erecting them. Mars is the planet of warfare, Saturn is the planet of peace. Saturn is called Shani in Vedic astrology - Shanti (peace) comes from this word. Mars is the planet of revolution and rebellion, Saturn is the planet of the status quo.

This Mars/Saturn opposition, that perfected on March 21, set into motion the events we are seeing today. The Democratic controlled Congress is rebelling against the president and his conservative, stay the course, status quo approach — and the Iraqi government is rebelling against the landed power structure of the Western military presence by detaining British soldiers.

VEDIC ASTROLOGY BHAVAS (HOUSES) | ASCENDANTS CLASS

In Vedic astrology the functional nature of each planet is determined by which houses it rules from the ascendant. This unique feature of Vedic astrology brings a level of dynamism not found in other systems.
EX:
A gentle planet like Venus can be very destructive for certain people. A first-rate malefic like Saturn is actually the best planet for certain signs.

For far too long Vedic astrology students have been fuzzy on how to apply these rules and where to look for answers.
