Year is known as Nandana. In the year which is connoted by Nandana, there will be all-

round peace, prosperity, increase in wealth, etc. However, all depends on the configurations of

the planets in various signs and houses.

Lunar eclipse takes place on 4th

June, 2012 at 14.16 hours in Taurus / scorpio axis.

Next lunar eclipse takes place on 28th

November, 2012 at 17.42 hours Taurus / scorpio axis.

First House

The ascendant signifies the common people, state of affairs of the country, public

health, general condition of the country.

Virgo is rising at 29 deg 48 min in the star of mars. Mars is retrograde and in the 12th

house. Ascendant is in papa-kartari yoga sand- witched between Saturn (lord of 6th

house) and mars (lord of 8th

house). That too both the planets are retrograde. A malefic

being retrograde will be more malefic.

Further, the ascendant lord mercury is combust , retrograde and debilitated. Further,

mercury is also aspected by mars and rahu.

The lunar eclipse takes place in Taurus/scorpio axis, which happens to be India

ascendant. Similar eclipses took place in 2011 as well, which had brought revolt by the

common people against the policies of government. Similar effect will take place in

2012 as well.

Since, the ascendant and its lord are afflicted, there could be threat to general health

of the public, there could be frustration set into the people of India, there will be

general discontentment of the people, there will be agitations all over India, etc.

Second house

This house denotes the financial affairs, banks, stock exchange, trade, inflationary

pressures, etc.

28 deg 33 min of Libra is on the second house. It is in the star of Jupiter. Venus the lord

of 2nd

house is in 8th

house conjunct Jupiter and aspected by Saturn. 2nd

house contains

retrograde Saturn. Though Saturn is exalted, but it is retrograde. There is benefit of

aspect of Jupiter though from the 8th

house. There is also retrograde aspect of mars

(lord of 3rd

and 8th

house) on the 2nd

house. Venus the lord of the 2nd

house also throws

its aspect from the 8th

house to its own house.

This shows that, since Saturn is a slow moving and of contracting nature the financial

affairs will not show any significant improvement. However, due to aspect of Jupiter

(from the 8th

house) there could be some signs of improvement, but very marginal.

Inflation will be fairly under control. Interest rates could slowly start going down.

Stock exchanges will also be kept under check and will not show any significant

improvement. There will be financial contraction and trade deficit will be affected.

Due to aspect of mars (being significator of military) the expenditure on defence will

increase.

Third house

This house rules over all sorts of and aspects with respect to communications like

railways, postal, telegraphic departments,etc. This house also signifies neighboring

countries like China and Pakistan.

This house has rahu in it, which is debilitated. Further, there is retrograde aspect of

Saturn as well. The lord of 3rd

house has turned retrograde and added to this it has got

placed in 12th

house. This does not augur well for the 3rd

house matters. Further,

significator of communications, mercury has turned retrograde, debilitated and

combust.

Based on the above configurations, there could be accidents in railways, air crashes as

both the 3rd

house lord and its significator mercury is afflicted. There is also likely

hood of unrest in neighboring countries like China and Pakistan.

Fourth house

This house rules over land, agriculture, crops, mines. It also rules the opposition parties

of the government, earthquakes, natural calamities, etc.

4th

house is not occupied by any planet. The lord of the 4th

house Jupiter goes to 8th

house in conjunction with venus (lord of 2nd

and 9th

house). 4th

house is aspected by

retrograde Saturn (lord of 5th

and 6th

). Further, the significator of land Saturn has turned

retrograde in libra. Libra a sign of checks and balances will bring about some adjustment

to the prices of landed properties in some pockets of the country. Further, mars the

significator of house properties has also turned retrograde and goes to 12th

house. This

mars has 5th

aspect of Jupiter from the 8th

house.

4th

house is occupied by Pluto in saggitarius a fiery sign. This will give strength to the

opposition parties and will be stumbling block to the ruling parties. Further, there

could be natural calamities like earthquakes and agricultural produce could get

affected. We can also expect correction in prices of lands and houses. There could be

significant changes in legal framework with respect to lands and houses.

Fifth house

This house rules over entertainment industry, children, education and all places of

amusements.

There are no planets placed in the 5th

house. The lord of the 5th

house Saturn though

retrograde is placed in libra, a exalted sign for Saturn. This Saturn is further aspected by

Jupiter and venus.

Basis the above configuration, the amusements industry will thrive and there will

some changes in the educational system to the benefit of the children at large.

Sixth house

This house rules over public health, working classes, army, navy, etc.

This house is occupied no planets. The lord of th 6th

house Saturn is placed in the 2nd

house in libra and aspected by Jupiter and venus. The 6th

house is aspected by

retrograde mars (lord of 3rd

and 8th

) from the 12th

house.

This shows that the working class will get some far-reaching benefits by some

amendments to the acts with respect to labor. Due justice will be given to the working

classes.

Seventh house

This house signifies all matters relating to foreign countries, disputes, war, international

affairs and all matters with respect to dealings of India with other countries.

This house has the conjunction of sun (lord of 12th

) and moon (Lord of 11th

) and

placement of retrograde mercury (lord of 1st

and 10th

) which is debilitated. Further, the

lord of 7th

house Jupiter goes to the 8th

house along with venus and aspected by Saturn.

The 7th

house is also ascpected by retrograde mars (lord of 3rd

and 8th

) from 12th

house

and rahu from the 3rd

house. This house also has the aspect of retrograde Saturn. Last

but not the least, this house has herchell a point to be noted.

India will enter into serious negotiations with Pakistan and likely to put pressure on

them. On the other side, there will be many deal-breakers resulting into unresolved

disputes, as there is presence of retrograde mercury (a significator for

communications). There will also be significant changes in the countries like Pakistan

and china. There will be war-like situation with Pakistan. Presence herchell in the 7th

does not augur well with respect to relationship with other countries.

Eight house

This house rules over deaths, mortality and privy council.

The 8th

house has natural benefic Jupiter and venus. The lord of 8th

house mars has gone

to the 12th

house and 8th

house is aspected by Saturn in libra.

There will not be any major impact with respect to the 8th

house. In fact the matters

with respect to 8th

house will thrive with presence of Jupiter and venus.

Ninth house

This house rules over religion, charity, law courts, legal matters, etc

This house is occupied by none of the planets. The lord of 9th

house venus has gone to

8th

house and also 12th

to the 9th

. Venus is conjunct Jupiter (lord of 4th

and 7th

) and

aspected by Saturn from libra. Further, the lunation takes place in this house as well.

This reveals that some major legal laws will be enacted with respect to stock

exchanges, money matters with respect to those invested abroad, there will sea of

changes in the legal system and there will also be changes in the education systems.

Tenth house

This is the most important house in the mundane chart. This house rules over President,

Prime minister, government, etc.

This house has no planets. The lord of 10th

house mercury is retrograde and placed in

the 7th

house, debilitated. Mercury is combust and conjunct with moon (lord of 11th

).

Mercury is aspected by rahu and mars (lord of 3rd

and 8th

) from the 12th

house. Saturn

also gives its retrograde aspect from libra.

This reveals that there will be some major changes in the government with respect to

its leadership. Since lord of the 10th

mercury (a dual planet) is placed in the dual sign

and being weak (as a results of malefic palnets aspects) will result in some of the

members of parliament taken to task by the government. There could also be major

changes in the portfolios of the government. One of the senior members of the ruling

party could run into serious health issues.

Eleventh house

This house rules over parliament, debates in parliament, various legislations and

members of the house.

11th

house is un-occupied. However, 11th

house is aspected by rahu, Saturn and has

aspect of retrograde mars. Further, lord of 11th

moon, is with lord of 12th

sun, mercury

(lord of 1st

and 10th

), aspected by rahu, mars and retrograde Saturn.

This heavy affliction will have effects of frequent changes in parliament, heated

debates in parliament over various legislations. There will serious pressures from

common people in making various legislations. The aspect of malefic to the 11th

lord

and 11th

house will create trouble to parliamentarians in enactment of laws.

Twelfth house

This house rules over prisons, hospitals, asylums, charitable institutions, crime rate,

secrete foes, etc.

The lord of 12th

, sun goes to the 7th

house along with moon and mercury. Further, sun

also has the malefic aspect of rahu, mars and retrograde Saturn. The 12th

house has

mars (lord of 3rd

and 8th

). The 12th

house has aspect of Jupiter from the 8th

house.

The malefic aspect to 12th

lord and presence of mars in 12th

house, will result in secret

forces operating against India and crime rates will increase. However, the aspect of

Jupiter will keep it under control.
