| The war between the US and Iraq will begin once Sun moves into the Aquarius i.e. between February 15 and March 15. Mars (28.43) will move from Libra to Scorpio, and Saturn (28.15) will also move fully from Gemini to Taurus. Both will aspect each other. In Western astrology this is called as opposition, hence round about these dates (Feb 15 & March 15) US might attack Iraq, and according to astrologer K Gopalakrishnan the precise date will be around Feb 21. War with Iraq US President Junior Bush has inherited a strange legacy from his father. When senior Bush was in power, the US had fought against Iraq that adversely affected the US economy. Similarly, Junior Bush also waged a war, this time against Afghanistan, invariably affecting the markets. The question now is whether Junior Bush will wage a war against Iraq? Speculation is high whether Bush will attack Iraq. Meanwhile, Iraq is using all its diplomatic efforts to avert a strike or at least avert a possible international coalition against Iraq. Our astrologer K B Gopalakrihsnan checks the astrological calculations to put some light on the whole issue. In astrology there is a particular technique, where the inauguration TIME (Presidential inauguration - Date: January 20, 2001, Time: 12:02:07) is taken into consideration to cast the chart. The reduced Vimshottari Dasa for Bush’s presidential years is taken as 4 years. And this period will influence Bush to wage a war against Iraq. His inauguration chart denotes that he might have been a warlord in his past life. Mars is considered to be the planet of the war whose Bhukthi is going to start, and it is strange that it begins on September 11, which happens to be the 1st anniversary of the WTC attack. His chart shows the bhukti of Mars, who is the lord of 8th and the 1st, placed in the 7th house. Looking at it from another angle Mars is placed in 12th house from the Chandra Lagna. From the Karakamsha Lagna, Mars, the 3rd and 10th lord, is placed in the 9th house. The September 11 episode happened in the sub-sub-period of Mars. In the Dasamsa, Mars is in the 8th house – the house of death - and also the 2nd and 7th lord. The following are the implications after interpreting the technical aspects of the planets and their positions. 1.There will not be much improvement happening on the stock front in the US. The gloom and the fall will continue, with marginal rise once in a while. Mild improvements in the manufacturing sectors will be witnessed. Autos, precision components, and medical equipment will be doing well. Though there will be talks about recession receding, there will not be any significant or drastic improvement in the American economy. 2.Bush will wage war against Iraq, possibly before the end of this year. There will be heavy rhetoric from the US administration. The attack will be for a limited period. Bush will not be supported by many Arab nations openly. Many will support covertly though. There will be mass-protests against American policies in the Arab world, and Bush will use the rebels of Saddam regime to overthrow him! War will commence within the next four months. America will undergo an emotional turmoil due to external forces. This will probably be sowing the seeds of cyclic conflicts and problems.
