Rahu Master of Deception: Viruses, Internet, Plagues & Nuclear Radiation
Lately I’ve been reflecting on Rahu’s scope of influence. In light of the current Rahu-Saturn conjunction in Libra getting closer throughout August and September, and peaking at Sept. 25. Rahu is very involved with viruses–and the dispersion of micro-organisms–as much as ideas. Individuals who have significant Rahu aspects in their astrological charts, or who are running Rahu cycle, can easily excel in the areas of the internet, media, TV and film, marketing, sales, promotion, and other means that instantaneously “populate ideas” in cyber space. Rahu is legend in being master of deception. He thrives in foreign exotic lands, off-shore company businesses, drugs, addictions, poisons, and indulges in all manner of pleasure seeking. Have you noticed how the recent two years have been rife with news about countries accusing their neighbors of hacking into their computer systems, whereas almost every country that can afford to is doing it to their neighbor? Cyber identity fraud and cyber espionage are rampant. Also, Wiki leaks and Snowden’s exposure of NSA antics. That’s all been in the news and it’s so Rahu. Epidemics & Plagues Rahu is also involved with real viruses, such as those that cause influenza, plagues, and epidemics. Right now a Chinese woman, a poultry worker in Guangdong Province, is hospitalized and suspected of H7N9 infection. The case, if confirmed, would be Guangdong province’s first human H7N9 infection, that is, human-to-human transmission. This may unleash another round of virus scare in the region. I am reminded of records from The Old Testament. The Bible is filled with tales of prophetic dreams, archetypal symbolism, synched up with non-ordinary events in real life. For example, the story of Moses as told in the Book of Exodus. Moses probably grew up as a nephew or grandson to the Pharaoh. When he was younger, Moses murdered a man, which caused him to flee to Midian. Pharaoh had tried to kill Moses, but in vain. After this Pharaoh died, the succeeding Pharaoh continued to oppress the Hebrews. Moses returned to Egypt. Suggested historical dates are c.1440 BCE under Pharaoh Thutmoses III, and c.1250BCE under Ramesses II. But get this, Moses appeared before Pharaoh with a sign of a staff turning into a SNAKE. This gives me an idea that Moses was some kind of Magi, or Sorcerer, and he certainly wielded snake power. Egypt suffered under several plagues during the following months: -Nile turned to blood and fish in the Nile died. -Plague of frogs 7 days following the plague of blood. -Gnats on the people and animals -Swarms of flies; region of Goshen excluded. -Pestilence on the animals; livestock of Hebrews excluded. -Boils on people and animals. -Thunder, severe hail, and fire against fields, people and animals. Barley had formed ears, and the flax was in bud. Before the spelt and wheat. Goshen excluded. -Locusts against the fields. -Darkness for 3 days. -Death of firstborn people and animals. Hebrews excluded. The freakish phenomena of algae and marine life gone wild, widespread plague of fish, frogs and blood; massive attacks by insects—gnats, flies; pestilence breaking out in livestock, infected with boils and then cross-species jumping to infect humans. Meanwhile, extreme weather patterns of thunderstorms, hail, fires, topsy-turvy crop yields, locust plague, leading to more pestilence and death. Does that sound a bit like Rahu or what, and is it not quite similar to our current time? Nuclear Radiation Fallout Last but not least. Radiation effects from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster of 2011. That also bears the stamp of Rahu. Tokyo Electric Power admits contaminated water has long been leaking into the Pacific Ocean, defying containment efforts....
