Events
Mars comes closer to the Earth
As the planets
revolve around Sun, Earth passes in-between Mars and Sun at regular
intervals of over 2 years. At that time, Mars and Earth lie nearly
in a straight line with respect to the Sun. Such encounter would
take place on 18/19 December 2007, when Mars will be at a distance
of about 54.8 million miles from Earth.
The closest encounter in the recent times took place on 27 August
2003, when the distance between the two planets was about 34.7 million
miles.Thereafter,such an event occurred two years ago on 7 November
2005, when the distance was about 43.2 millions miles. Mars would
be in the sign Gemini. Its stay in that sign is from 17 September
2007 till 28 April 2008 and in that sign it will be in retrogression
from 16 November 2007 to 31 January 2008.
When this phenomenon takes place, Mars, a strong malefic due its
being in retrogression, is expected to give adverse effect to countries
and persons, whose ascendants fall in the signs Virgo and Capricorn
Sagittarius and Gemini. The effect of placement of Mars in Gemini,
in particular, would be rise in prices of cotton, jaggery, cotton,
thread, salt, oil, mustard, copper, old, red chillies, and other
red-colored things. But the prices would not go very high, due to
the aspect of the benefic Jupiter. But red-colored items would generally
be costly. However, Silver will rule cheap.
Some of the
important countries falling under Gemini are USA, West of England,
Belgium, and Canada, Wales, Tripoli, Lower Egypt, North East Coast
of Africa and Armenia and cities are London, San Francisco, Plymouth,
Melbourne, Versailles and Nuremburg.
For India, whose ascendant is Virgo, due to the aspect of Mars,
some border skirmishes and cold war tendencies would continue to
exist between India and Pakistan, but in view of the aspect of Jupiter
,it won't be very serious. Further there may not be any major internal
strife barring some normal adverse occurrences. While the prices
of major cereals like rice and wheat will not be affected, the commodities/metals
indicated earlier will take a riding.
