Kashmir ceasefire: An
ill-fated move-
The PM's declaration of ceasefire in
Kashmir has a difficult Mars to contend with, predicts Acharya Vasudev,
The
prime minister's declaration of ceasefire in Jammu and Kashmir during
the holy month of Ramazan does not seem to be a well-timed move. The
ceasefire was declared on Sunday, November 19, when the nakshatra was
Magha and the tithi was Krishna Paksha Navami. The nakshatra Magha is
inclined towards wars and other hazardous undertakings, rather than
activities promoting peace.
The navami tithi is also
good for competitions, gambling and other risky pursuits. Our vedic
seers' insight into Muhurta or electoral astrology only foresees
failure for this ceasefire.
Let's
take a look at Kashmir history after Independence. Maharaja Hari Singh
signed the instrument of accession with the Indian government on
October 26, 1947. The ruling sign of Kashmir, Libra, was heavily
afflicted by a debilitated Sun, Mars, Saturn and retrograde Mercury.
Signing important papers during the retrogression of Mercury has never
been considered a good idea. Mercury became retrograde on October 25,
1947 and Maharaja Hari Singh signed the papers the next day, i.e. on
the 26th, subsequently triggering major problems between India and
Pakistan.
If we consider October 26, 1947 as the
day Kashmir was included in Indian territory, we can get a clear
insight into the Kashmir problem. The Moon is positioned in Aquarius.
The ninth and sixth houses are heavily afflicted and do not show any
signs of peace. There is an exchange between Saturn and
The
transit of Mars through Libra (between December 13 to February 2),
which is the ruling sign of Kashmir, again rings a warning bell. It
would be an impossible task to maintain peace in the valley.
Mars,
it is well-known, is considered a violent planet that triggers wars,
natural calamities and bloodshed, specifically when it is afflicted by
Saturn and Rahu. The same holds good here as Mars is going to make a
shadashtaka yoga (6/8 inimical relationship) with Saturn during its
stay in Libra. All these things hold negative connotations for peace.
So, let us keep our fingers crossed and pray for peace in the valley.
