fluid upto June, but will register growth from July. The burden on the tax
payer and the common man will be comparatively less. Shocking revelation of
corruption issues in higher echelons will embarrass the government. Scandals
may rock the state governments of Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh,
Rajasthan, Bihar and Kerala. Heavy rain and high floods will cause huge loss
of life and property in July and August, particularly in the Western India.
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. Economic growth will slow down with heavy
military expenditure and extravagance. Drastic shift in its foreign policy
will be earmarked. 20 March to 30 April, 20 June to 15 September, the 2nd
week October, December 2008, 20 January to 15 February 2009 and the 2nd half

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.

Global Trends
INDIA: The ascendant is aspected by the 3rd and 8th lord Mars. Lord
of the ascendant is debilitated in the 7th. Lord of the 6th is in the 12th
with Ketu. Health hazards and epidemics will claim a heavy death toll in the
year, especially from during 20 June to 31 August, 1st half of October,
November, 21 December 2008 to 25 January, 7 February to 15 March 2009.
Belated response of government medical machinery will invite severe
criticism by the opposition. Lord of the 2nd is exalted in the 7th but the
2nd is aspected by Saturn and the 12th lord Sun. In India, the economic
situation will remain slow and fluid upto June, but will register growth
from July. The burden on the tax payer and the common man will be
comparatively less. Prices of certain essential commodities and inflation
will be kept under control. Stock markets may incur loss from 15 July to 8
August, 23 September to 7 October 2008 and 1 to 20 January 2009. Redtapism
and institutionalized corruption will eclipse all the well-intended welfare
and development programmes of the government if proper care is not taken.
3rd house is Scorpio and its lord Mars is placed in the 8th from 3rd being
aspected by Jupiter. Returns from railways, airways and roadways may come
down. Frequent road and train disasters due to accidents and sabotage will
claim a large number of lives especially between 20 June to 31 August, 20
December 2008 to 10 January 2009 and March. One or two air mishaps are not
ruled out. Workers and employees will resort to strikes and demonstrations
in June 2nd half, 1 to 25 August, October 2nd and 3rd weeks of 2008 and
first half of March 2009. The 4th is occupied by the lord of the 4th
Jupiter, aspected by a malefic Mars. The weather will remain moderately
favourable for agriculture and farming. Crop yield will be slightly below
average or just average. Khariff crop will fare better than rabi. Heavy rain
and high floods will cause huge loss of life and property in July and
August, particularly in the Western India. Central, North, East and South
India may experience scanty rain-fall in July to the detriment of farmers.
One or two multi-storied buildings in major commercial cities may collapse
and mine accidents will also claim life of some workers. Death of livestock
and animals in the zoo (poaching) due to peculiar diseases will cause
concern. The 5th is aspected by Mars and the 5th lord Saturn is in the 12th
with Ketu aspected by Jupiter. Venus is exalted in the 7th. School, college
and higher education sectors will receive enhanced funds and subject to
innovative reforms. Certain demands of the students' community will be
fulfilled through agitations. Child and women care and welfare will be given
top priority bestowing many benefits. However crime, vice and diseases
afflict women and children. Movie, theatre and fashion show fields may slip
into depressed state of affairs after September. Two or three renowned
persons of these fields may pass away or meet with misfortune. A sex scandal
or a divorce suit of at least two celebrities may make news. An unsavoury
episode of sport field may also create senasation. July, August, 20
September to 7 October, 20 October to 30 November 2008 and February 2009 are
ominous periods for 5th house affairs. A movie artist or a fashion designer
or a participant and a singer will receive international name and fame. 7th
Lord Jupiter is in the 4th (Own house) and the 7th is well occupied by Venus
and Mercury. But malafeic Mars aspects the 7th lord. Foreign affairs, trade
and commerce fronts will be promising except from 20 September to 31 October
and December 2008 to 15 January 2009. The period upto 15 September 2008 and
after 15 January 2009 is favourable for international agreements including
the nuclear deal. International loans and foreign investment will pour in.
Indo-US, Indo-Japan and Indo-UK relations will be cordial. Warm relations
with African countries will continue. With Israel much warmness will not be
marked. Differences with Srilanka may crop up over Tamils' issue. Normal
ties will prevail with China. Some kind of suspicion will remain in Indo -
Russia and Indo - Iran ties. With Bangladesh, India's relation will
deteriorate. Relations with Pakistan will further improve. Lord of the 9th
is exalted in Kalatra-sthana and the 9th is aspected by Saturn. Religious
and legal complications will crop up, which will require careful management.
An Indian scientist may get international recognition for outstanding work
in the field of medicine or biology. Shameful scandal of a prominent legal
luminary or a religious head are on cards. A couple of persons of these two
fields and a scientist may meet with a fatal end. Pseudo - godmen or
sanyasins and imposters will be thoroughly exposed. A strike in the shipping
sector or a serious ship mishap is not ruled out. Fundamental forces will
ignite communal passions and terrorists will recourse to explosive disasters
in or near shrines, public places, trains and buses etc. June, 1st half of
July, 1 August to 7 September, November 2008 and 10 February to 15 March
2009 are critical for the above malefic events.
Mercury, lord of the 10th though debilitated in the 7th (10th from the
10th) gets cancellation of deblilitation and becomes very strong and
associated with 9th Lord Venue. Mars getting digbala in the 10th is aspected
by Jupiter. However 8th house lordship is not a desirable factor. The U.P.A.
government have to move cautiously and cohesively as many unforeseen
allegations and difficulties are ahead, particularly from 10 July to 2
September and November. Shocking revelation of corruption issues in higher
echelons will embarrass the government. Death of one or two prominent
statesmen or an eminent lady is not ruled out in September 1st half, mid
October to mid November 2008 and 1st half of March 2009. Unexpected
developments and some hard political decisions may lead to advancement of
Lok Sabha elections to May - June or November - December. If elections are
held within the 1st half of March 2009 particularly in the stipulated
periods, the U.P.A. may come back to power in a tough and close fight with
the N.D.A. Congress may gain upper hand in the northeast, Madhya Pradesh,
Rajasthan, Chattisgarh, Jammu & Kashmir (with PDP), Kerala, Orissa and
Maharastra (with NCP). In Delhi, the party will perform moderately. In A.P.
the party will suffer considerably. In Karnataka, a neck and neck race with
the BJP is on cards. The performance of the DMK and RJD will not be
miserable, though AIADMK and JDU - BJP will register some gains. The Left
front is likely to retain much of its present strength in W.B. and Tripura.
The strategy and right approach of the home ministry in coordination with
the state governments will yield positive results by inflicting heavy losses
on the terrorists and naxalies. However security forces and the police also
suffer causalities due to attacks from terrorists and naxals and suffer from
scandals.
Outbreak of riots, extremist and naxal and political violence in Jammu &
Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Orissa, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkand,
U.P., Assam and Northeast, especially from 20 June to 20 September, 25
November 2008 to 31 January 2009 will be cause of concern. A Chief Minister
or a senior Cabinet Minister in the Northeast is exposed to danger or health
hazard. Two Chief Ministers of this region will step down. Maharastra may
see a new Chief Minister in the 2nd half of the Solar year. Narendra Modi
will face trouble from 2009 January 2nd half. Fissures may develop in the
BJD - BJP and JDU - BJP coalitions. Scandals may rock the state governments
of Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar and Kerala.
PAKISTAN: Virgo rises in the ascendant. The country will continue to
pass through violent political upheavals, unsavoury episodes and uncertainty
even after the PPP led coalition government is installed. Sectarian and
sessessionist violence become bloodier. Women suffer from crime, abuse and
subjugation. Economy improves moderately thanks to international support.
The morale of defence personnel and security police will deteriorate due to
attacks and exposure of scandals. Assassination attempt on Mushrraf, PPP
stalwarts and the Sherrifs will cost dearly unless high security is
provided. Cold, Wet Weather, cyclone and floods can damage agriculture. One
or two legal experts and a couple of religious Mullahs may meet with
misfortune. 15 May to 15 July, 15 August to 8 September, 21 September to 30
November 2008 and first quarter of 2009 are particularly ominous.
In BANGLADESH, Libra rises in the ascendant with its lord in the
6th and the 10th lord Moon is in the 10th hemmed in between Mars and Saturn.
The country is heading for a turbulent period of large scale violence,
agitations, murders, and suppression of democratic forces. A prominent
leader or a top military head may meet with danger. The economy will be on
rails. Cyclones will batter the coastal districts. Train and plane accidents
may kill many people. People will seriously oppose the army which is
enjoying power by proxy. A crack down on pro-democracy movement and on some
fundamental outfits is not ruled out. Foreign affairs front will remain cold
and troublesome.
NEPAL : Libra rises in the ascendant. Chaos, violence, murders amid
sweeping changes will occur in the republic after constituent assembly
elections. The King's security becomes a cause of concern. The royalty can
face threat and reverses. Girija Prasad Koirala may face a serious health
hazard. International aid will save the economy.
In SRILANKA, safety and security of politicians and military heads
should be given top priority to avert fatal suicide attacks by the LTTE.

discontentment of the Simhalese and Tamils will put Rajapakshe's government
in a tight spot. Natural calamities, air and locomotion accidents will claim
many lives. Farmers woes multiply. Explosive disorders in and around
schools, public buildings or theatres will spill much blood. 20 June to 15
July, 10 to 31August, September, mid October to mid November, December last
week 2008, 10 to 20 February 2009 and March 1st half are critical periods
for all the malefic influences.
AFGHANISTAN may overcome many hurdles in providing stability either
by subduing or accommodating some rebels. But threat perception on top
leaders will not diminish. Unemployment both in organized and unorganized
sectors can create much resentment. Foreign aid and investment will
encourage the economy. Pitched battles and killings between NATO-forces and
Alquaeda backed Taliban fighters can cause many causalities. Charges of
human rights violation and molestation of women will create problems for the
foreign troops. A moderate to powerful earthquake may hit Pakistan - Afghan
boarder region on or around the New Moons of June and August 2008 eclipse in
January 2009 and the 2nd half of February 2009.
In IRAN religious clerics will continue to dominate the
administration. Heavy defence expenditure and fiscal mismanagement can
retard economic growth except in 2008 3rd quarter. Student's unrest will
disturb peace. Popularity of the government and the President will decrease.

accidental disasters in or near institutions and oil installations may claim
many lives. Foreign affairs front looks promising with receding western
threat except from October to December when trade disputes and diplomatic
hazards crop up.
In IRAQ, Leo rises in the ascendant with Saturn and Ketu posited in
it. Unprecedented Violence, suicide attacks targeting schools, buildings,
theatres and particular religious sects, assassination attempts on important
leaders, bombardment by foreign forces mar peace in the country. Exporting
of militants by Iran and Turkey's incursions will complicate the matters.
Political stability and unity of the country will be in doldrums. August,
September, 2009 January and February 10 to March 15 are particularly
ominous.
SYRIA, ISRAEL, LEBANON, JORDAN AND PALESTINE : Slightest provocation
may lead to air raids by Israel against Lebenon and Syria and retaliation by
the latter powers. Political upheavals, uncertainty, chaos and violence mark
the affairs of Lebenon and Isreal. Rivalry between Fatah and Hamas may
intensify resulting in murders. Rocket attacks by Hamas and prompt
retaliation by Israel will increase. A scandal that will rock the Israel
government may end the career of a top politician. Public resentment and
agitations for reforms will crop up in Jordan. A serious accident on road or
air or on rails is not ruled out. 15 June to 31 August, September 1st half,
10 October to 7 November 2008, 9 February to 2 April 2009are critical period
for these governments.

accidents and explosions. Terror attacks and political murders may make big
news. Turkish conflict with the Kurdish militants will dramatically
escalate. It may trigger a wider conflict with the U.S. backed Iraqi Kurds.
War planes may pound Kurdish villages inside Iraq. The premier faces health
hazard. The army will be restive waiting for an opportune time to strike.

make news with gloomy and unsavoury occurrences and outrages. Secret crime
and suicide attacks will greatly disturb peace affecting children and women
adversely. Economy surges ahead from July. Expenditure on sophisticated
missiles and military reuirements will increase. A deadly mine disaster is
on cards. Weather guards are not favourable for agriculture and farming
except from October to December. The subdued Islamic militants may raise
their ugly heads targeting vulnerable zones. Disagreements will crop up with
the U.S., E.U., Georgia and Ukrain, tensions can flare up and war of words
continue. Sweeping and supririsng changes await the State Duma. Putin can
become, the premier of the country if he so desires. Sudden political
developments and scandals will show the exit door to some leaders. National

to 22 October, 22 November 2008 to 5 January 2009 and 15 February to 15

transport and railway workers from 22 July to 25 August 2008, February last
week of 2009, 8 to 25 March 2009. The economy will improve in spite of
fraudulent acts and swindling. An important leader from the government or a
British royal family may meet with misfortune from 21 June to 15 July,
August and 3rd quarter of 2008. Foreign affairs front looks slippery, stormy
and disputable. Relations with India and the U.S. will be warm. Brown is on
safe wicket, if elections are advanced. A train and a plane accident and an
explosive disaster are not ruled out.
In GERMANY, fire and mine mishaps, explosive and accidental
