The Indian economy had shanked by 7.3% in fiscal year 2020-21 as per the data released by the Central Government. It is the first major decline in India's economic growth, since last 4 decades. The global economy has also been plunged into deep recession, as per the World Bank reports {Refer link: https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2020/06/08/covid-19-to-plunge-global-economy-into-worst-recession-since-world-war-ii}. The western countries, Europe and USA are suffering from the biggest economic crisis, since World War II. In these columns, I had forecasted the global economic crisis in advance in the January 2020 issue.
It is a cardinal principle of mundane astrology that conjunction or opposition of Saturn and Jupiter brings 'Durbhiksha' i.e. economic crisis and scarcity of food, which can bring a large scale migration of people and destruction of cities. This combination also gives death of people in large numbers and rise in the prices of essential commodities, as it is given in the texts like Bhavishya Phala Bhaskar and Mayur Chitram, available in Hindi at present. {Refer page 30, stanza 22, Bhavishya Phala Bhaskar by Ventateshwara Press, Mumbai}. In Brihat Samhita's 'Shani Chaar Adhyay', Chapter 10, stanza 19, the similar effects of Saturn-Jupiter conjunction has been given.
Similarly Rahu-Saturn conjunction also gives 'Durbhiksha' or recession, but it mostly is for short duration in some countries of the world, not like a global recession, which we had seen during the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction in Capricorn sign in 2020-21.

Saturn in Dhanishta Nakshtra may give troubles to 'Super Rich'
As per
Brihat Samhita's 'Shani-Chaar' Adhyay,
Chapter number 10, Stanza number 16, Saturn in
Dhanishta Nakshatra can bring trouble for 'Dhana-Adhikari' i.e. Super rich people. It is well known that
during the Pandemic, the Billionaires across the world,
including India, has almost doubled their net worth.
The Stock markets in India, particularly were booming
during the transit of Saturn from Shravana Nakshatra
from the middle of 2020 to the year 2021's last quarter.
But the entry of Saturn into Dhanishta Nakshatra is
giving a 'red flag' for the neo-rich billionaires across
the globe, including India, as per this principle of Brihat
Samhita. Saturn will enter into Dhanishta Nakshatra
on 18 February 2022, and will remain there till early
2023 as Saturn will retrograde in this Nakshatra, and
then become Direct again. So the long stay of Saturn
in Dhanishta Nakshtra is indicating bad time for 'Super
Rich' Industrialists and businessmen across the globe,
as they may face higher Taxes, Court cases and public
outrage against them.
Effects of Major planetary transits in 2022 on World Economy
The year 2022 will start with conjunction of Saturn
and Jupiter in Capricorn in the month of January,
which will keep world economy a little down in
recession mode. In the month of March, the
conjunction of Saturn, Mercury, Mars and Venus in Capricorn will bring good progress, as transiting
Jupiter and Sun would be in Aquarius then, just a sign
ahead of these planets. There shall be growth in
manufacturing, rise in Gold prices, construction
activities will increase and growth in real estate will
also start from March 2022.
Relief from Corona Virus Pandemic
In the end of March 2022, Rahu will move into Aries,
after leaving Taurus sign, which is the 'mouth and
nose' of 'Kaal-Purusha'. It has been observed by
senior astrologers that the transit of Rahu or Ketu
from the arch of 'Cancer, Gemini and Taurus' along
with the affliction to these signs by Saturn, through
aspect or conjunction, and the affliction to Jupiter also
would bring epidemic of flu or virus diseases. In the
'Kaal-Purusha' chart, Cancer signifies lungs, Gemini
the throat and food pipe, while Taurus signifies nose
and mouth, which are the major areas where flu like
virus disease would attack the human body. So Rahu
leaving the Taurus sign will give a major relief from
the COVID-19 Pandemic, in the end of March 2022.
Later in April, Saturn will move into Aquarius. The
transiting Saturn from Capricorn was earlier giving
aspect to the Cancer, which is a sensitive point for
the spread of epidemic. Another major transit change
in April will be of the movement of Jupiter into Pisces,
which will bring growth in the world economy, as
Pisces is the sign of expansion in mundane astrology.
In the month of May, the conjunction of Saturn-Mars in Aquarius will bring rise in the price of crude oil.
The reason for this could be the USA-China tensions. Venus and Jupiter would be in Pisces during May
2022, which will bring down the prices of Gold also a little bit. From June to September 2022, Saturn will
remain in Retrograde motion in Dhanishta Nakshatra which will bring rise in the prices of Crude oil and
Real estate. The conjunction of Mars-Rahu in Aries sign in the month of July will be bad for farmers due
to erratic rain fall, and there shall be rise in the prices of essential commodities around the world.
Now we will study the Foundation horoscopes of
major countries of the world, to judge how could be
the year 2022 for them economically.

K.N. Rao, while other charts of countries are from

The economy of USA will
continue to be in recovery
mode, as her Vimshottari
period of Rahu-Jupiter (28
June 2021 to 21 November
2023) indicates, as Jupiter is in Raja Yoga in the 11th
house of gains. In Chara Dasha, it is the period of Pisces-Gemini from January 2022 to October 2022.
Gemini sign is the strongest in the Foundation horoscope
of USA, as Amataya-karaka Sun along with other
Karakas is strongly placed there. The USA under its
new President Joe Biden will try to revive its status as 'super power', which has now been challenged by
China, since last few years. But the transit of Saturn
over her natal Moon in Dhanishta Nakshatra will give
her confrontations with China on the issues of trade
agreements and environmental laws, which might result
into some Chinese companies getting banned in the
USA during 2022.
USA may also introduce some new
law, by which it will revoke Tax benefits for companies
having their manufacturing units in China and some
other foreign locations.

In Capricorn lagna
Foundation horoscope of
China, a very sensitive
Mercury-Ketu period in
Vimshottari would be running
from 19 February 2022 to 17 February 2023. As per a research of my teacher Shri K.N. Rao, Ketu-Mercury or Mercury-Ketu period can bring
humiliation, if these dasha lords are under afflictions. In the Foundation horoscope of China, this condition
is fulfilled, as Mercury is Retrograde and is in
conjunction with Ketu and the 8th lord Sun. In
Navamsa, both Mercury and Ketu are under the
malefic aspect of Mars. So it is highly likely that
China's economy might suffer, due to some trade
restriction by Europe and USA. China's humiliation
at international forums will happen, due to some
sensational finding of her role into the deliberate
spread of COVID-19 from her Wuhan Lab, as a
conspiracy to disturb economy of the western
countries.
The year 2022 indicates troubles for
Chinese companies, due to international restrictions.

Moon-Mercury period will
continue to operate in
Foundation horoscope of India
(July 2021 to December
2022). Moon and Mercury, as
per their nature, will give some fluctuations in India's Stock market, as bhukti lord Mercury rules the 2nd
and 5th houses and is in its enemy sign Cancer. The
transiting Saturn in the 8th house from the natal Moon
will bring major policy changes by Central
Government in the second half of 2022. This will bring
good progress in economy in Moon-Mercury-Rahu
period during 25 April to 22 July in the year 2022.
After 15th of August 2022, there shall be better growth
as the Annual horoscope of India is very strong for
her completed year 75.

The Foundation horoscope of
Germany has Cancer rising,
with Moon in Aquarius sign.
The country will undergo
major political and policy
transormations under new estabilishment, after the
retirement of her Chancellor Angela Merkel. Since
the country is going under 'Sade-Sati', there is a
possibility that Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) will not come into power again, and
the Opposition leader Olaf Scholz may become
country's next Chancellor. Germany's economy will
shine under her Mercury-Ketu period from November
2021 to November 2022. Mercury is in own sign
Virgo, along with Venus and Sun, which are involved
in 'Dhana Yoga'. Ketu is with 9th lord Jupiter in the
ascendant, which is good.
The country will continue
to be the fastest-growing economy of Europe in 2022.

After facing immense
constrains and difficulties due
to COVID-19 Pandemic,
Japan has managed to successfully host the Olympic Games in July-August
2021. We had forecasted this in the columns in January
2020 issue that Japan will face lots of troubles in
organizing Olympic games, as the country is going
under 'Ashtama Shani' Gochar, as the transiting
Saturn from Capricorn is in the 8th from her natal
Moon. The Vimshottari period of Mercury-Saturn
from April 2020 to December 2022 has been tough
for Japan. Mercury is 'Maraka' for her Dhanu lagna
chart, but since it is associated with 11th lord Venus
and is in mutual aspect with 2nd lord Saturn,
there is
some hope for the revival of Japan's economy, though
the country will continue to face the troubles, due to
her aging population.
