1998 Predictions

The time-tested science of Jyotish enables an
experienced astrologer to not only pinpoint
predictions in a person's (or event's) life with
reliable accuracy, but also provides recommendations
for success in spiritual and material areas of life.

Predictions of trends and events for a society,
country or the world such as those usually
published in the media about this time of the
year are very general in nature and are based on
an incomplete study of the planetary positions
applying through the coming year. While they lack
utility in a person's life, they do suffice for
entertainment and interesting reading.

A survey of various forecasts for 1998 in the popular
press, at web sites, and on TV during the last week
or so yields:

 The world will see more violence in 1998
 The world will see less violence in 1998
 More celebrities will die this year
 Mideast tensions will rise
 Shri Lanka will see more violence
 There will finally be peace in Shri Lanka
 Peace between Israel and the Arab world will be found
 Christian violence in N. Ireland will increase
 Britain will find a solution in N. Ireland
 The BJP will form the next government in Bharat (aka India)
 The BJP will form the next government if the "planets are right"
 Russia will go communist again
 More epidemics will plague the population
 Researchers will find better vaccines
 Optimism for the economy
 The economy will suffer
 The rich will get richer, poor poorer
 Women will gain important positions
 The world will end in 2020 (ah, 2020-foresight!)
 The world will get closer to an end
 The world will come to an end

Er, didn't the world end in 1990 . . . or was it 1984?

As everyone knows, the truth is that the world "ends"
for innumerable organisms every moment.

Permit me to repeat that the science of Jyotish does
enable one to calculate predictions in a person's life
reliably. [* See Exhibits below] Such projects are simpler
and less time consuming as compared to those for entire
communities and society in general.

I pray for success for all peace-loving persons during
the next 52 weeks -- and beyond.

O. J. Simpson's acquittal was correctly predicted and
published only a few days after his arrest:

Correct prediction about Louise Woodward was published
before the verdict (that she is not guilty as charged):

[
[ Namaste! The science of Jyotish, popularly known in
[ western countries as Vedic, Hindu or Indian astrology,
[ is the most time-tested astrological science in the
[ world. It provides useful tools to humankind in our
[ modern setting because it yields reliable and accurate
[ results when properly applied -- as our sage-scientists
[ intended it.
[
[ Jyotish, which literally signifies "science of light" is
[ wonderful. Were it not for Jyotish, this astrologer would
[ not have been able to publish in alt.astrology a few *days
[ after his arrest* that O. J. Simpson would not be found
[ guilty -- please see
[ http://members.aol.com/Jyotishi/pred1.html
[ or publish other predictions long before the actual events
[ actually occurred. Such are the capabilities of Jyotish.
[
[ Eminent Jyotishis (practitioners of Jyotish) have correctly
[ predicted trends and events in the lives of people, communities,
[ governments and the world as a whole. I bow to them as they
[ will forever remain my Gurus, a few of them directly.
[
[ Last week, I became interested in the case of Massachusetts
[ vs. Woodward from the astrological point of view. Louise
[ Woodward had been accused of the first-degree murder of Matthew
[ Eappen on February 4, 1997 who succumbed to his condition on
[ February 9; a jury convicted her of second-degree murder and the
[ judge in the case is going to respond to motions filed by the
[ defense and announce his decision about the jury's decision in
[ about 24 hours from now.
[
[ Not knowing the time of birth of Louise Woodward, I began
[ erecting Jyotish charts for various times on her publicized
[ dates of birth (at least three have been given), and on
[ numerous known times and dates of events relating to the case.
[ CNN's Larry King Live interview of the victim's parents
[ provided much insight based on the content and manner of
[ their responses, as did what little physiognomic observations
[ could be made during the one-hour TV show.
[
[ It is evident to me from the Jyotish charts that Louise
[ Woodward is not guilty as charged. This is consistent with
[ widespread public opinion on both sides of the Atlantic,
[ but I would lie to add that she has nothing or very little
[ to do with the passing of Matthew Eappen. I am convinced of
[ her innocence, so convinced that I joined the Louise Woodward
[ Campaign for Justice and placed a web page at:
[ http://www.flex.com/~jai/louise.html
[ which leads to many informative web sites about the campaign,
[ such as the official one located at:
[ http://www.louise.force9.co.uk/menu.htm
[
[ How exactly do the Jyotish charts convince me that she is
[ innocent, what is the actual interpretation derived from
[ which charts? While most of the notes are in several files
[ and the data in Jyotish programs, an article will be prepared
[ detailing the process. It will be posted it in the Jyotish
[ List and also here in the newsgroups. I look forward to an
[ examination of the work by other astrologers, regardless of
[ how the judge rules tomorrow and how the case proceeds from
[ that point.
[
[ Persons interested in learning, teaching or utilizing Jyotish,
[ Vedic astrology, are welcome to join the Jyotish List
[ by visiting:
[ http://www.spiritweb.org/Spirit/jyotish-l.html
[
[ My understanding is that Judge Hiller Zobel's ruling on the
[ defense motion to overturn the verdict of second-degree murder
[ will be posted tomorrow (November 10, 1997) at:
[ http://www.louise.force9.co.uk/decision.htm
