Recession - an astrological and angelic analysis

In Vedic astrology Saturn is the planet that causes misery, poverty, loss of crops, floods, market slowdown etc. Leo is the sign owned by Sun. Saturn and Sun are arch enemies in Vedic astrology. Hence, whenever Saturn transits into Leo it gives bad results. Sun is the ruler amongst the planets. Therefore, in the transit of Saturn in Leo the worst sufferers are rulers who may be business tycoons, politicians, brand leaders or any other person who functions as a ruler at his own level. The suffering to common man comes because the sufferings of the ruler get transferred to them. Lehman Brothers, Satyam, Unitech, DLF have been big names in the world. Saturn’s transit in Leo caused immense loss to all of them and because of their market position; sufferings got transferred to its employees, stake holders, and the economy.

In Vedic astrology Saturn is the planet that has been considered a Demi-God (devta) who administers justice in the world, by exposing the real picture in front of the world and bringing down the ego of the rulers, autocrats and self seekers by showing them the truth. Saturn causes suffering to those egotists who try to become God of this world.

Religion talks about dark angels who act as messengers of God who follow exactly the God’s directive.........even if it is against humanity, if that's what God wishes. They instigate war, hatred and mass destruction to clean filth and destroy the world so that a new world can be established. In some passages, the angels are regarded as avengers of God's justice.

There are some references about dark angels in the Hebrew original. The relevant quote is - “The riches unjustly accumulated shall be vomited up; an angel shall drag him out of his house;" Saturn is the dark angel who is the divine equalizer who brings justice and equality among beings. He removes people in power and brings order by bringing in new and justified order. Hence, the transit of Saturn in Leo sign sets new order. It brought an end of president rule in Pakistan, brought in many changes in the Government all over the world including the United States of America. First time in the history a Black American (Barack Obama) became the president of America. Saturn is the planet that brings change that benefits people who are oppressed over centuries. Hence, the transit will favor those who are polite, God fearing, mentally and emotionally upright, who are not an embodiment of hatred and exalted ego. For, others there can be more difficulties in times to come.

Saturn will transit out of Leo in September 2009 bringing in some respite to the economy. By this time the job of Saturn as a spiritual teacher will end. The hurricane will subside but, the effect of this transit may take some more time to heal.

To make the matters worse, Jupiter remains debilitated (weak) till November 2009. USA may be providing bail-out packages to American Companies. But, divine grace of bailout is still awaited. After November 2009, Jupiter will gain strength and will come out of the affliction state caused by transit of Rahu over it.

Hence, astrological and angelic interpretation shows that year 2009 is tough for the world economy. Though some respite may be felt from September 2009 onwards. But, major respite shall come only after middle of 2010.
