Monthly Global Predictions for October 2013

Date Posted: September 30, 2013

The important challenging planetary configurations for October include Pluto-Rahu (Sept 27 – Oct 8) ninefold opposition and Neptune-Mars (Oct 17-20) opposition, Uranus-Saturn (Sept 27 – Oct 10) and Uranus-Mars (Oct 29-31) quincunxes and Pluto-Saturn (Oct 21-26) ninefold quincunx, Pluto-Uranus (Oct 13 – Nov 19) square, and Neptune-Saturn (Oct 22-26) ninefold square.

The manifestations of Pluto-Rahu ninefold opposition may be reflected in the outbreak of violence and terrorist activities, natural as well as man-made calamities, and to some extent, war-like climate in some parts (Middle East) of the world. Tension between Israelis and Palestinians is likely to escalate at a new level. The Neptune-Mars opposition may become responsible for disclosure of covert activities among leading nations.

The Uranus-Saturn quincunx may become responsible for increased tension between the United States of America and Russia or China. And the Uranus-Mars quincunx is likely to be reflected in natural and man-made calamities, especially in the United States of America. 

The Pluto-Saturn ninefold quincunx means another outbreak of violence and terrorist activities in Middle-East, a strong possibility of natural as well as man-made calamities. During the same period, some of the east-European countries, Russia, and China may experience political as well as social turmoil.

The Pluto-Uranus square could bring a unique change in the way the current US administration deals with other nations with respect to its war against terrorism agenda and other international issues, and also with its domestic matters. Again, there will be a transformation of a political strategy that is likely to become responsible for a change in the current political agenda and foreign policy matters of the Obama administration as the planet Pluto with its tremendous energy has a power of irreversibly transforming the field of politics to a new level or setting with a new set of norms. Expect some serious issues that the Obama administration could get tangled with.

The Neptune-Saturn ninefold square may become responsible for new political, international and social challenges that countries like China and Russia must face during the last week of the month.

The auspicious planetary configurations for October include Pluto-Ketu (Sept 14 – Oct 17), Pluto-Mars (Oct 29-31) trines, Pluto-Neptune (Oct 15 – Nov 17) ninefold trine and Rahu-Mars ninefold sextile.

The Pluto-Ketu trine will be responsible for economic growth, progress in technical fields through innovations and discoveries, and religious reconciliation.  The Pluto-Neptune ninefold trine is positive in either bringing terrorism under control or even wiping out major terrorist cells through covert operation. In addition, this ninefold trine is good for Russia and to some extent for China. Also, on technological front, expect some positive breakthroughs in medical, high technology and biotechnology fields. 

The countries that are more likely to be affected during this month are:  USA, China, Russia, Middle East (Turkey, Syria, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan and Palestine-Israel regions) and Europe. 

  • United States of America:    

President Obama and his administration:  

Until February 2014, President Obama’s operating planets will be Mercury and Pluto. In his progressive chart, the Mercury will remain in the3rd house of his progressive chart through December 1.  Pluto is going to be in the fifth house of his progressive chart and in the first house of his ninefold progressive chart. While Pluto is favorable for him for October, the ninefold Pluto conjuncts ninefold Ketu during the first week of October.  And during that time his political will certainly be tested. In addition, Mercury for him is not so favorable during the entire month of October.  Thus, he will continue to have tough time dealing with international issues (such as Syria, Al-Queda), debt ceiling, budget and health care. Also, there might be some drastic changes in people that surround him and give their advice. The most intensive and challenging period for him for this month will be the first week. 

The Country:

The influence of Pluto-Uranus square will certainly be reflected in a distinct and unique change in the way the current US administration deals with other nations with respect to its war against terrorism agenda and other international issues, and also with the domestic matters. Again, there will be a transformation of a political strategy that is likely to become responsible for a change in the current political agenda and foreign policy matters of the Obama administration as the planet Pluto squaring crazy Uranus has tremendous energy to irreversibly transform the field of politics to a new level or setting with a new set of norms. Expect some serious issues that the Obama administration could get tangled with in the second half of the month.

The Uranus-Saturn quincunx will be responsible for increased tension between the United States and Russia, and between the Obama administration and the conservative republicans. 

·        Russia:  During the first ten days of October and then during the third week of October, the Uranus-Saturn and Uranus-Mars will respectively be responsible for increased tension with the United States of America and for natural and man-made calamities.

·        Europe:  Except for the first ten days of October, the entire month looks to be more on a neutral side. However, the economic expansion will continue.

·        China, Japan, and Pacific-rim countries:  Besides the Uranus-Saturn quincunx (which occurs during first ten days of the month) things look to be good for the region.  During the second half of the month, the Pluto-Neptune ninefold trine may become responsible for social and political stability in China. And the economic progress will continue to remain unabated.  

·        Middle East:  During the first week of the month the situation in Syria will remain critical.  However, somehow the crisis will be mitigated later in the month.  But for the entire region, due to the Pluto-Uranus square, the second half of the month may prove to be very explosive involving intense conflict between the Israelis and others with the involvement of the USA. 

·        Religion:  The Pluto-Ketu trine may become responsible for the positive periods for religions around the world. The religious leaders will have easy time in carrying out their agenda. In addition, the influence of Pluto-Neptune ninefold trine will result in progress in spirituality of the world.

·        Natural and Man-made Calamities:  The natural calamities like extreme weather conditions, wildfires, hurricanes, heavy rains, air crashes as well as man made accidents are very likely to occur during October 1-10, 17-20, and 29-31.

      Earthquakes: Based on the earthquake prediction model II, the earthquake(s) of magnitude 7 or higher, if occur, are likely to occur on October 2-3, 6, 10, 14-15, 19-20 and 27.      While man-made calamities may manifest themselves in terrorism, unrest, violence, accidents, and air crashes, the natural calamities are likely to include extreme weather conditions such as severe cold winters, and equally intensive droughts, hurricanes or typhoons, thunderstorms, earthquakes and fires.
