Central, North, East and South India may experience scanty rain fall in July to the detriment of farmers.

During Mesha Sankranti, Gemini rises in the ascendant at Washington. American economy will slowly get out of recession and improve from July. Changes in the tax system and the country's education system are likely. Real estate, construction sectors and mines will be in doldrums. The Republicans are likely to lose the race on the issues of terrorism war, abortion laws and tax cuts. Serious international differences, disputes and disagreements with China, Russia and one or two Latin American countries may crop up.

CHINA will pass through an year of public resentment, riots and terrorist violence and brutal suppression of human rights, cold and simmering differences with foreign power.

Explanation to the above Table
The three numbers (including zero) under each constellation covers the whole year from 13th April 2008 to 13th April 2009 i.e. each number rules for four months. For example, for Aswini borns the first number 3 rules from 13 April 08 to 13 August 08, 0 rules from 14 August 08 to 14 December 08 and number 1 rules from 15 December 08 to 13 April 09. If there is zero in the beginning there will be difficulties and diseases. Zero in the middle will cause financial problems and loss of peace of mind. Zero in the end also indicates poverty, sickness and loss of peace of mind. If all are zeros there may be risk to life. Odd number indicates prosperity and financial gain. Even numbers bestow mixed results.
