India's farmers plan mass march to parliament

Taurus – the Bull linked to farm lands

With over 800 million people, rural India is arguably the most interesting and complex place on the planet. And yet it is also one of the most neglected in terms of both investment and media coverage. Veteran journalist and founder of the People's Archive of Rural India P. Sainath argues that the majority of Indians do not count to the nation's media, which renders up to 75 percent of the population 'extinct'.

The core problems affecting agriculture centre upon the running down of the sector for decades, the impact of deregulated markets and profiteering corporations (Monsanto and its Bt cotton seeds being just one case in point), increasing debt and lack of proper credit facilities, the withdrawal of government support, spiralling input costs and the effects of cheap, subsidised imports which depress farmers' incomes.

By deliberately making agriculture economically non-viable for smallholder farmers (who form the backbone of food production in the country) the aim is to lay the groundwork to fully incorporate India into a fundamentally flawed and wholly exploitative global food regime that is undermining the country's food security and food sovereignty as well as its health, soils, water supply and rural communities.

The national horoscope of India is based on its independence from Britain on August 15 ; 1947 ; 0:00 hrs IST, Delhi.  Astrologers often draw  the annual solar return chart (or birthday chart) to assess the major issues during the year.  Shown here is India’s current precession corrected solar return chart. With Uranus on the MC as part of a Grand Cross straddling the angles this is definitely a very significant chart.

Uranus , the planet of awakening and rebellion, arrived in Taurus May 15th 2018. Taurus is the sign linked to land and by association farmers and those connected to agriculture. Opposite Uranus is the TNP Apollon conjunct the star Miaplacidus of Argo which Diana Rosenberg links to mass movements of people.

During the last transit of Uranus in Taurus in the USA crops failed, the dust bowl was a common phrase used to describe once fertile fields and thousands of farmers fled or abandoned their land in search of greener pastures.

It is, therefore, no surprise that here in India, with Uranus in Taurus activated in the solar return chart we are seeing a mass movement by farmers demanding an end to their misery.

To check whether our assessment is right all we need to do is progress the solar return chart to the end of November 2018, when the planned movement is to take place. Here is the progressed solar return chart for 25 November. Notice that Grand Cross once again reaches the progressed angles and is thereby triggered.
