Predicting Danger: How Astrology Averted a Crisis

It was a quiet evening on October 15, 2022, when some guests joined me for coffee after dinner. As the night deepened, one of them—a middle-aged man—posed a question that had been troubling him for some time. He wanted to know if there was any immediate threat to his well-being.

The query led us to examine the cosmic energies at play. The running hora lord at the time was the Sun, which represented the querist. The man, accompanied by his live-in partner, was staying in a rented accommodation at a friend’s house. This was clearly reflected in the chart: the Sun, accompanied by Mercury, occupied Mercury’s sign, indicating his current living arrangement.

A closer look revealed a significant shift in the Sun’s position. In a few days, it would move into Libra, where it becomes debilitated and encounters its arch-rival, Ketu. This forward motion of the Sun hinted at a tangible threat involving enmity or harm. I predicted that within the next 30 days, the querist might face a real danger and advised him to exercise caution.

Pinpointing the Danger

To narrow down the timeline of the potential threat, I analyzed the Moon’s movement. When the Moon entered Gemini, the danger could be activated. Consulting the ephemeris, I found that this transit would occur on November 11. Fortunately, the presence of Jupiter’s aspect on the Sun offered protection and the possibility of finding a solution.

As the discussion unfolded, concern became evident on his face. He asked if anything could be done to neutralize the threat. The chart offered hope: Jupiter, retrograde but gracious, was aspecting Libra, where the danger loomed. I assured him that remedies were possible, which visibly eased his anxiety.

Crafting a Solution

The querist’s partner, a criminal lawyer and former deputy prosecutor for an Indian state, joined the conversation. Her keen mind, symbolized by Mercury’s strong placement in the chart, prompted her to ask how the threat could be mitigated.

The answer lay in leveraging the grace of Jupiter. I recommended a remedy involving Ketu, whose energy could be pacified through a ritual involving holy water. Additionally, with Mars and Moon aspecting Libra, the ritual’s ashes were to be immersed in the sacred River Ganges, accompanied by a holy dip on auspicious days. The discussions went on for some time and then they left.

Executing the Plan

The couple returned the next morning, eager to implement the solution. Together, we devised an action plan. On October 17 (Monday, the day of Moon) and October 18 (Tuesday, the day of Mars), they carried out the rituals at the Ganges. These specific days were chosen to align with the supportive energies of Mars and Moon, both influencing Libra.

The Outcome

As the Moon approached Gemini on November 11, the querist remained cautious. That evening, at around 7:00 PM, he suffered a minor injury after accidentally colliding with a glass wall in a shop—a manifestation of the Libra sign, which governs marketplaces and commerce. However, the situation could have been far worse. Jupiter’s protective aspect had mitigated the intensity of the threat.

At 10:45 PM, he updated me, reporting that he was unharmed apart from the minor injury. The danger had been averted, and we celebrated the power of timely action and divine grace.

Conclusion

This case highlights the profound connection between astrology, timely guidance, and actionable remedies. The cosmic dance of planets offers not just warnings but also solutions, provided we know how to interpret and act on them.
