2019 saw the entry of Jupiter in Sagittarius Sign/Dhanush Raashi in November where Saturn and Ketu were already present!
Jupiter which is the largest planet in our Solar system is the planet of EXPANSION therefore when entered Sagittarius in November where Ketu was already present IT MAGNIFIED the poisonous impact of Ketu and this was further helped to reach to the MASSES by Saturn which was also present in Sagittarius.
The CATASTROPHIC CATALYSATION caused by the three slow moving and heavy-weight planets, where Ketu owns the shadowy planet status to it as given in astrology, together with Jupiter and Saturn, led to the creation and widespread expansion of the virus, and to its quickly becoming the global pandemic -COVID 19.
Jupiter is a planet of Expansion and growth! It is a natural benefic but when it conjoins Ketu which is considered as a malefic in astrology it can trigger chronic and fatal diseases like Cancer. Ketu has been “mostly” associated with impacts which are of mysterious in nature and poisonous in its effect. Those which cannot be easily diagnosed or treated easily.
It is a difficult “shadowy planet” (status of a shadowy planet is given to it in Astrology), and it can bring traumatic troubles which are fatal on the material plane (can cause material loss-by the theory Material Loss for Spiritual Gain!). In personal charts too, it brings a sense of complete detachment, losses, mindlessness, wandering, and confusion in one's life path. Point in specific here is that it is poisonous in nature as it is a serpent that carries the poison. There are many Myths and legends attached to Rahu Ketu. The most well-known one is of Rahu Ketu as the Naga Vasuki - the ruler of the Patala Loka (the nether regions of the earth). Nagas in Vedic literature are not ordinary snakes but Serpents with much hidden knowledge and wisdom.
Key Properties of these Three Planets in causing COVID 19 Pandemic:
KETU is the MYSTERY, which cannot be easily diagnosed, Creates SUDDEN impact and of course is POISONOUS and is FATAL in nature by ending materialism for spirituality!
JUPITER-Caused EXPANSION of the POISON at a WIDESPREAD/GLOBAL level-Has role in personal charts in Cancer spread too!
And SATURN deals with the MASS POPULATION
What should be of further interest to us is the fact that till Mid-February Ketu was in Dhanush or Sagittarius Sign but had not entered Moola Nakshatra. It entered its own Deadly MOOLA Nakshatra mid-February – a time when the Pandemic started spreading drastically at a much larger scale - and not just in China!!!
To further substantiate Ketu’s venomisity and role by entering Moola Nakshatra, its own Nakshatra in mid-February 2020, making it many times more powerful in its role in carrying the COVID-19 Virus to a larger population and causing much more widespread impact. Below is the graph of spread month-wise as shared on the official website of W.H.O:
We all know that because of the larger, multiplying widespread trigger by March 2020 the Indian Government on 24 March 2020, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi issued the order for a nationwide lockdown for 21 days, limiting movement of the entire nation.
On 9 March 2020, the government of Italy under Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte imposed a national quarantine, restricting the movement of the population except for necessity, work, and health circumstances, in response to the growing pandemic of COVID-19 in the country.
What is Moola Nakshatra: Ketu’s own Nakshatra
Goddess of Moola is: NIRITI - The Goddess of DESTRUCTION - Elder Sister of Goddess of Wealth-Lakshmi.
Niriti is the Hindu goddess of deathly hidden realms and sorrows. Also known as Goddess of Alakshmi – Poverty - and sorrows, who was born a few days before Goddess Lakshmi was born during Samudra-Manthan-Churning of the Ocean.
Therefore, Ketu’s entering Moola was key for the wide spread of COVID 19 Pandemic when Jupiter and Saturn were already there in Sagittarius; something which does not happen Ketu transits Moola Nakshatra once in 18 years.
There will be a further rise in the number of cases globally and the spread will be more widespread, which we can see in India too currently. In India there has been a further rise and in mid-July (17th July 2020), it is surging to an all-time high at over 38,000 cases reported in 24 hrs.
Astro reason for this being, in addition to Ketu which has been travelling in Moola Nakshatra since mid-February 2020, Ketu will also enter the difficult GANDANT ZONE.

‘Gandd’ means a knot. ‘Anth’ means the end. Gandanta means the knot at the end. A well-tied knot is that it is very difficult to unravel. The more you try to untie the knot, the tighter it becomes.
The Gandanta always takes place between Water and Fire Signs and Navamsas. Water and Fire- Agni and apas are two contrary elements. Fire can heat up the water and water can extinguish fire. So, negotiating this area of chart is complex but it is also the area where the maximum spiritual development takes place. Any planet placed in gandanta is in a difficult position and will have to face material issues in regard to its house rulership and significations.
Indian Government and many states will need to re-look and re-strategize on their fight against COVID 19 spread during this time - when Ketu which also denotes the flag, transits through the troubled zone of GANDANTA. The Flags will be in problems! With India already standing at the third position in number of coronavirus cases with the U.S. leading the table followed by Brazil, we need to be especially careful and revise our approach once again.
Further with Jupiter becoming Direct from the 13th of September 2020 onwards with Ketu still in Sagittarius, in Moola and in Gandanta till the 23 of September’20, these 10 days will be again crucial and further trigger the spikes in numbers globally with an all-time high!
The entire world is racing to find a vaccine to check the spread of the coronavirus disease.
Many countries like the US, Russia, China and the UK, along with India, are trying to find a vaccine for Covid-19. More than 130 vaccines are under various stages of testing across the world. Here is a look at the efforts being made by different countries in a bid to find Covid-19 vaccine:
Russia
The researchers in Russia have claimed that they will launch the first Covid-19 vaccine in August. The Moscow State Medical University has claimed that it has successfully completed clinical trials for the vaccine. The trials started on June 18; the first batch of the volunteers were discharged on July 15 while the second one will be released by July 20.
China
The human trials being conducted by Chinese company Sinovac Biotech have reached the third stage. This is the first vaccine to reach the third stage of human trials. The first dose was given to 15,000 registered volunteers in Abu Dhabi. They were administered the vaccine twice within 28 days and the researchers saw development of anti-bodies in them. There are four vaccines being developed in China for Covid-19.
The UK
The vaccine being developed by Oxford University and Imperial College are in second and third stage of human trials. In the second stage, 105 people are expected to be administered the vaccine. The stage 3 trial is expected to begin in November and will cover 6,000 people.
India
Covaxin and ZyCov-D, the two medicines being developed in India, are in the first and second stage of trials. While Covaxin has been developed by Bharat Biotech, a pharmaceutical company based in Hyderabad, Zydus has come up with ZyCov-D. There have been no side effects on the volunteers who have been administered the vaccine. At least 100 million doses will be prepared after the successful completion of these trials.
And of-course other countries are also in the race.
Now coming back to the Astro points.
Finally, after mid October 2020 once Ketu is out of Moola - Jyeshtha Gandanta zone and Jupiter in November 2020 leaves Sagittarius can we start hoping for a decline in the numbers.
Research and discovery of the vaccine with successful trials is one side of the story and its availability for the masses calls for a mass scale production and then marketing for availability for the masses!!
Astro Facts on Timing for the Indian Vaccine to come:
Any Indian Vaccine will not hit the Indian market with mass production for its widespread usage until April 2021.
As for India’s chart Jupiter on the 7th of April 2021 will enter Kumbh/Aquarius sign which happens to be India’s 10th house, from where Jupiter will aspect by its 9th drishti/aspecting the 6th house and from this time will start blessing the 6th house of Health and will help launch/marketing at a mass scale of the said Vaccine anytime from here or after start of April 2021!
