Aridra or Thiruvathira Njattuvela, the Solar
Transit of Alpha Orionis, begins today. Mrigasira, which concluded tooday, was
fraught with devastation. Mrigasira is ruled by the fiery Mars and hence the
destruction ! We pray for the victims of Kedarnath tragedy. It is said that the
astrologer is wise after the event, even though he can discern the heavenly
signs !
Now Aridra is Roudra, another fiery constellation and the
destructive aspect of the South West Monsoon can still wreak havoc.
We
are de-Anaxagorasing our prayers. May not the SWM wreak destruction and may not
the Monsoon Fury affect the overpopulated Indian subcontinent and the whole
world !
