Last Second of Sagittarius - Violence in India

I don't even think the Vedic Astrologers use Pluto, but you wouldn't know it from the violence that has broken out in the financial center of India today, Mumbai (used to be Bombay). By Western Astrology reckoning the time of the first shots and/or explosiongs was between 9pm and 9:30pm which puts Pluto on the last second of Sagittarius (29'59"). Today is very prominent because Pluto has been passing into Capricorn over a very prominent Aries Point.

According to this article from IndiaDaily.com (http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/19028.asp), the violence is caused by ethnic inequalities in the country. Most articles, however, say the violence was directed at wealthy Americans and English. In the articles that I've looked at shots were first heard in a hotel, have moved to other spots where tourist go, even a hospital. And now have moved into a Jewish temple. More than a hundred people have been killed and many more injured. Last report I watched on TV says that the attacks were very well planned.

According to the articles I've read, the violence started at between 9:00 pm and 9:30pm in Mumbai, India. In this chart, Cancer is rising and the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in Capricorn is passing over the Descendant. Venus and Jupiter together can indicate luxury. I suppose in Capricorn the can indicate flaunting luxury and wealth. Venus in this chart rules the IC (Hotels) and Jupiter rules the 6th House (Servitude).

There are several indicators of violence erupting in this chart. Venus is out of bounds and today was joined by an Out of Bounds Moon as well. So, they were parallel by declination. The Moon (the public) rules the chart and Venus rules the IC.

Also, the Sun, Mercury and Mars were in tight conjunction (2 degrees) in the 5th House and unaspected by major aspect. Mercury has been combust today in Sagittarius, sign of Religion, Opinions, International differences which means those areas are eclipsed by the Sun. Meanwhile the Sun in its own house and basically erasing Mercury (Mental, communications) and conjunct Mars (violence). (India's natal chart has 5 planets in Leo). The other planet of violence, Uranus, is the most elevated in the chart, opposing Saturn, and sextiling Jupiter as it crosses the Descendant.

Ruler of the Chart, the Moon, is in Scorpio and is just passing (backwards) out of the 5th House and into the 4th. It is dispositing to Pluto which, as I said, was on the last second of Sagittarius and straight across the Capricorn AP. Pluto is unaspected as well, multiple stress factors. Pluto's transit through Sagittarius has seen non-stop tensions caused by Class struggles due to differences of ethnicity & religious beliefs. And, of course, poverty. Pluto is also opposing India's natal Mars at 1 Cancer.

Neptune (Belief, Poverty) is just passing out the 8th House and on to an angle. It is squaring the Moon and inconjunct Saturn. These are the Rulers of the ASC/DESC angle.

When looking at the chart for India that's listed at Astrology Weekly the violence becomes extremely clear with multiple oppositions to natal points. I've mentioned a couple of the aspects already. http://www.astrologyweekly.com/countries/india.php.
