As usual, journalists in the print and television media rushed to astrologers to ask what would be the effect of the passage of Venus across the bright disk of Sun on 8 June 2004. What this phenomenon is can be understood if the distinction between lunar and solar eclipses and this phenomenon is kept in the mind. There is the role of Rahu/Ketu in lunar and solar eclipses while here all that happens is that Venus comes between the earth and Sun. Other planets may or may not join it as happens also in solar and lunar eclipses. So for the purpose of our discussion we can call it Venus-Sun Phenomenon or VSP.

The mention of his name for presidential election made me dig out his horoscope from my records. One noting there is that the marriage of his daughter was fixed for December 1987. More important, his wife (born in 1938), Smt. Geeta (Suvra) Mukherji is a singer of Rabindra Sangeet. I checked to see if she would become the first lady after her husband becomes the president of India. The answer was positive. The date of marriage noted was 13 July 1957. Mr. Mukherji is the fourth child of his parents with two sisters and one brother elder to him and three sisters younger. Mrs. Mukherji is the first child of her parents and has a younger brother.
I did not find time to work on the chaos and violence in India more in the last few days because of my indisposition and may not find time as I am recovering slowly. Also because something or the other has been keeping me busy. At a glance what I saw is more damage to land which can be both from floods, cloud bursts as happened in Uttarakhand and through earthquakes.
This period begins from July 8 , which is only a week away and may cause more agony to the nation. It can happen anywhere but eastern and north eastern India seems to be coming in its grip. South western India is getting into some communal frenzy in this period.
In two interviews given to television channels I have repeated said that natural calamities and violence are so blatantly clear at the moment that talking of political controversies seems to be totally futile. I have written about it since January this year under the caption INDIAN ELECTIONS 2013 2014(26 January 2013, 9:05 PM). Violence includes attempt on the lives of political and religious leaders also. Air accidents and attacks on trains etc. as Naxalites do will be in news.
It happens in two ways, excessive rains causing damaging floods and this is the year of severe earthquakes about which seismologists never have had the capacity to warn the nation or for that matter anywhere in the world.
The worst visible effect is on Indian economy with uncontrolled inflation, fall of rupee against the dollar and restricted imports. Two economic experts, Manmohan Singh the prime minister and the fiance minister Chidambaram will be like any of us, watching it all more like spectators than sagacious economists , a reputation they enjoy. They are two dumb dolls in the entire show.
Oil Exploration
Is it all so gloomy only ? There is a silver lining still. This is the year when India must concentrate on exploring oil and gas and lessen the burden on import bill. It is now or never for India and Oil Minister must resist the import lobby about which he has complained openly.
If in these two months of July and August India can check the free fall of the rupee and gold, it will be nothing short of a miracle.
The saying that misfortunes do not come alone is true as much in the lives of individuals as nations. India is passing through such a tragic phase at the moment, in this Hindu New Year.
What is the serious setback the government is going suffer from between 6 July to the middle of August is worth watching. The judiciary has a role in it is all that can be said.
