India - Makar Sankrant (Capricorn Ingress) of 2022

Conclusion (For detailed astrological analysis read the analysis section):

There will be problems from our bordering countries like China/Pakistan and
the likes. The relationship with them will worsen and negotiations with China
will not lead to any concrete resolution. The Government should also keep a
strict vigil on our borders.

There will be accidents in the communications (road, rail, sea, air, etc.) sectors.

There will be danger from epidemics and pandemics (like the current COVID
and its variants). There is every possibility that the current COVID will spread
again (may be in the form of new variants) and this can result into lockdowns
as before. The deaths will be more in number more or less similar to the
previous two waves (especially similar to the second wave).

This threat from the bordering countries and COVID will be at least till
September 2023.

The Government should take all advance precautions like booster dose and
announce lockdowns/stringent restrictions in order that the spread is
contained.

Analysis:
The Sun’s ingress into Aries (Mesha), Cancer (Karka), Libra (Thula) and
Capricorn (Makara) are considered very important in mundane astrology. It
gives the direction in which the nation is headed. Especially for India the
Capricorn ingress plays a very important role as the two main budgets like the
finance and railway budgets are presented during the period from January to
April every year.

The chart for the moment when Sun ingresses into Capricorn in January 2022
will be on 14th day at 14:29:29 IST at Delhi. The chart is given below.
In the above chart, the Asc rising is Taurus at 16.06 degrees. The Asc has
Moon, which is the 3rd lord (a “tri-shad-aay). Moon is with Rahu and aspected
by Mars the lord of 7th (a maraka) and 12th (a maraka too). As per Sage
Parashara, the 12th lord and the 2nd lord will give its benefic/malefic results as
per its association. Here the 12 th lord Mars is with Ketu and aspected by Moon,
the 3rd lord. Hence, the Mars is bound to give malefic results. The Asc lord
Venus is retrograde and is in the 8 th house of mass deaths. It is in papa-kartari
yoga between Sun (the 4th lord) and Mars and Ketu. Hence, the Asc lord is also
heavily afflicted.

As per BNN, the Asc is connected with Moon (3 rd lord and 4th lord), Mercury
(2nd and 5th lord, a benefic), Mars (7th and 12th lord) and Saturn (lord of 9th and
10th lord). The Asc lord is Venus and it is retrograde and is in the malefic 8 th
house. Venus is connected with Mars and Moon. As per BNN too, the Asc lord
is afflicted.

The dasa is of Moon/Ketu till January 3, 2022. The Moon, we have seen is the
3rd lord and afflicted as mentioned above. The antara lord Ketu is in the 6 th
house (in bhava chalit), a house signifying diseases. It is in the 7th house in natal
chart (a maraka house) along with Mars (another maraka and lord of 7 th and
12th house). It is aspected by Moon the 3 rd lord, a malefic. Both Moon and Ketu
are related to each other due to their mutual aspect.
As per BNN, Moon is connected with Mars (lord of 7 th and 12th), Jupiter (lord of
8th and 11th, a malefic) and Venus (lord of Asc and lord of 6 th). So, Moon is
connected with many malefic houses. Ketu is connected with Jupiter (lord of
8th and 11th). So, as per BNN also, both dasa and antar dasas are afflicted.

The next dasa is of Moon/Venus from January 3, 2022 to September 4, 2023.

The antara lord Venus, as stated above is in the 8th house. As per Parashara,
Venus is not connected with any planet.

As per BNN, the Venus, as the Asc lord, is retrograde and is in the malefic 8 th
house. Venus is connected with Mars (lord of 7 th and 12th) and Moon (lord of
3rd house). As per BNN too, the antara lord (Asc lord) is afflicted.

Based on the above, the chart perse and as per the dasas (Moon/Ketu and
Moon/Venus), are under affliction. The Asc having Moon (lord of 3 rd) with
Rahu, and aspected by Mars, will give problems from our bordering countries
like China/Pakistan and the likes. It will also give accidents in the
communications (road, rail, sea, air, etc.) sectors. The Asc signifies the general
sentiments and health of people. Further, the Asc lord Venus (lord of 6 th house)
in the 8th house, will give danger from epidemics and pandemics (like the
current COVID and its variants). There is every possibility that the current
COVID will spread again (may be in the form of new variants) and this can
result into lockdowns as before. Since, the 8th house is more prominent (Venus
the Asc lord in the 8th house), the deaths will be more in number more or less
similar to the previous two waves (especially similar to the second wave). This
threat from the bordering countries and COVID will be at least till September
2023. The Government should take all advance precautions like booster dose
and announce lockdowns/stringent restrictions in order that the spread is
contained. The Government should also keep a strict vigil on our borders.
