A Divination On The US Military Campaign Against ISIS (1)

What outcomes or consequences will the US face in its military campaign to destroy ISIS?

My attempt (on Saturday, Sept 13, 2014) at divining the answer to this question yielded the following symbols:

Astrological symbolism: Rahu, or the Lunar North Node, in Pisces in the 2nd house. Since Pisces is the second sign from Aquarius, this implies that Aquarius is the rising sign in this divination and represents the US.  It also implies that Ketu, or the Lunar South Node, is 180 degrees away in Virgo in the 8th house.

Thus, the astrological symbolism for this divination is:

Aquarius rising with Rahu, or the lunar north node, in the 2nd house in Pisces and Ketu, or the lunar south node, in the 8th house in Virgo

Hindu Deity Symbol: Varuṇa (the God of water, the ruler of oceans and seas)

It is remarkable that the astrological symbolism of Rahu, or the lunar north node, has manifested in this divination on ISIS!

In Vedic or Indian astrology, Rahu represents the color black and rides a black lion!

ISIS fighters wear black uniforms.

The flag of ISIS is also black.

ISIS Black Flag of Jihad: Motto: باقية وتتمدد (Arabic) “Bāqiyah wa-Tatamaddad”  “Remaining and Expanding”

Most significant is the fact that in Hindu mythology, Rahu is an Asura or demonic being who was beheaded by the God Vishnu!

Rahu was in disguise in the company of Gods gathered to partake the celestial nectar of immortality. He was identified as an asura or demonic being by the Sun god and the Moon god.

God Vishnu unleashed his disc to behead Rahu, but the latter had already sipped the celestial nectar of immortality. So, when he was beheaded, the head (Rahu) and the rest of the body (Ketu) continued to exist as separate, but immortal entities.

It is superfluous to comment on the remarkable correspondence of this symbolism of Rahu-Ketu, a beheaded Asura or demonic being, to the recent beheading of American and British nationals by ISIS!

Rahu is a portentous astrological symbol in this divination on the US military campaign against ISIS.

In Vedic astrology, Rahu represents the south-western direction, black color, mountain summits, poison, policies which sow dissension, secrecy, deception, confusion, cruelty, turmoil, chaos, barbarians, hunters, beheading, kidnapping or abduction, litigation, law of karma, foreigners,  falsehood, pollution, political plots, robbery, accidents, Arabs, Muslims, rage, assassination, airplanes, aerial navigation, extremism, radicalism, and terrorism.

The 2nd house is also a portentous symbol in the context of this divination on the US military campaign against ISIS. It signifies the family (US residents and citizens) in the homeland and abroad, the economy or financial affairs, speech or communication, and fatality. In Vedic astrology, the 2nd house is a “Marakasthana”, or a house signifying death.

The presence of Rahu, a malefic planetary symbol, in the 2nd house does not bode well for the security of US residents and US citizens in the homeland (particularly the southwestern US) or abroad (the southwest direction generally and the southwest areas of Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Afghanistan are dangerous for US forces and indicate the probable location of emerging threats to the security of US ) the trustworthiness of communication or information released on the military campaign, its objectives, its modus operandi, and its results, and the status of the US economy or its financial affairs.

I will explore further the symbolism of Rahu and its location in the sign Pisces in the next post.
