The important challenging planetary configurations for June include Rahu-Mars and Ketu-Mars squares (June 2-4), Pluto-Rahu and Pluto-Ketu (June 4 -27) and Neptune-Uranus ninefold squares (May 28 – June 25), and Neptune-Saturn ninefold conjunction. The auspicious configurations include Neptune-Jupiter conjunction (May 14 – July 23) and Pluto-Saturn (June 9-17) ninefold trine.
The squares of Mars with lunar nodes will be responsible for increased violence in Middle East and possibly, also for, rising tension between India and Pakistan. In addition, social unrest and political crisis in Pakistan, and man-made and natural calamities all around the world will be the manifestations of these squares.
While the ninefold squares of Pluto with lunar nodes may become responsible for a new wave of violence in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Israel and Palestinian region, the increased tension between the United States and Russia will be due to the manifestation of the Neptune-Uranus ninefold square. In addition, the Neptune-Uranus ninefold square will likely to be responsible for rise in challenges in scientific and technological fields directly affecting the growth in rate of scientific and technological inventions and discoveries. United States and the Obama administration will be on defensive due to rise in new domestic and international challenges.
On a positive note, during the second week of the month, Pluto-Saturn ninefold trine will provide a temporary opportunity for a possible solution for Israel-Palestine conflict. Also, the violence in Afghanistan and Pakistan is likely to subside during the same week. For the entire month, the Neptune-Jupiter conjunction will be very auspicious for economical growth and increase in optimism for better future all around the world. June will also be good for religion and religious leaders from progress standpoint.
The countries that are most likely to be affected during this month would be: United States, Middle-East (Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Palestine and Israel), Russia and China.
- United States of America:
President Obama and his administration:
For President Obama, his operating planet Ketu, is in the twelfth house of his progressive chart and in the second house of his ninefold progressive chart for June. As a result, he is likely to face more political challenges (supreme court nominee). However, the seventh house Jupiter in his progressive chart, and the third house Jupiter in his ninefold progressive chart will, due its (Jupiter’s) auspicious nature, provide him with a reasonable success in facing the political challenges. In addition, the transiting Jupiter will oppose his natal Uranus, and Jupiter being his major operating planet, he is likely to successfully deal with the most of the political crisis based on his moral conviction. The conjunction of transiting Rahu with his natal Jupiter will help him find right balance between the liberal and conservative approaches to solve country’s on going economical, judicial and political problems.
