Mars - Sun Opposition

Mars and Sun are considered to be natural malefics in Indian Astrology. On Dec 18/19, Mars opposes the Sun in the heavens.

The path of Mars is elliptical and not circular and the distance will be 54.8 million miles from the Earth. Mars at perihelion is 35 million miles and 63 million miles at Aphelion. On that day, Sun, Mars and the Earth will lie in a straight line.

This astronomical phenemenon, we all know, and what are its repercussions in Mundane Astrology ?

Such an opposition is malefic, according to the classical texts. But Jupiter is in Sagittarius, opposing Mars and his benefic aspect falls on Mars in Gemini. This tempers the evil effects of the Sun-Mars opposition

Mars in Gemini aspects the 4th house ( Virgo ) as well as the 8th ( Capricorn ). His seventh aspect falls on Sagittarius.

India, US, Pakistan Brazil, Syria, Albania, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, France, Hungary, Italy - all these are countries ruled by the abovementioned signs. So it is only natural that these countries will be adversely affected by the Sun- Mars opposition.

Prices in India will rise. The Govt's projection of 5% inflation is not real. Prices of essential food items have gone up considerably. Cotton, gold, red chillies, copper, oil, mustard, real estate, shares - all these will go up. But Jupiter's aspect will see to that the evil of inflation is kept under check. In US, the dollar is also badly hit. Subprime woes have not subsided. Pakistan is undergoing a political crisis. Problems also in Afghanistan and Bangladesh
