Mars, not Islamic militants, to blame for Bombay blasts
While Indian authorities blamed Islamic militants for car bombings in Bombay that killed 52 people, astrologers are convinced the culprit was Mars, which is dangerously close to Earth. Astrologers believe the current positions of the moon, Mars, Saturn and Rahu -- an imaginary malefic planet in the horoscope -- bode ill for the near future, with the Indian government due to make wrong decisions and the public responding violently. Now thereâs an easy call. Astrologer R.L. Kanthan told The Times of India that the spell of misfortune will not ease until September 20 with the movement of Mars, the planet that "portends violence, wars, bloodshed and combat". Satish Sharma, another astrologer, saw Thursday as a day of arson and rioting, as the Earth, Mars and the sun would be all in one line. He said another example of the impending chaos was the political turmoil in Indiaâs most populous state Uttar Pradesh, whose leader, Mayawati, quit Tuesday. Sharma noted that the symbol of Mayawatiâs party was the elephant -- associated with Rahu. "Rahu is traditionally associated with fire and sudden explosions," added fellow astrologer Mahendra Mishra. You do seem to have a lot of both. He was more pessimistic than his colleagues, saying the current danger would not be over until Mars enters Pisces on December 6 -- coincidentally the anniversary of the 1992 razing of a mosque in Ayodhya by Hindu fanatics which set off Indiaâs deadliest riots since independence. Soon to be repeated. Posted by: Steve 2003-08-27 |
