DELHI — India’s auto parts industry could be forced to slash a fifth of its 5
million or so workforce if the slowdown in vehicle sales continues, the
president of the country’s largest industry group for auto parts makers said. India’s
auto industry is in the middle of one of its worst slumps. Passenger vehicle
sales fell 18.4% in the first quarter, and monthly passenger vehicle sales in
June fell by the biggest margin in 18 years.

car sales have been slumping in many of the world's major auto markets. In
China, sales were down more than 12 percent in the first six months of the
year. In the United States, after many years of strong sales, many consumers
are driving vehicles that don't need to be replaced. Jul 23 NYTimes
It may surprise readers that the reason for the slump in the
auto industry in general and more specifically for India can be seen in the
chart for the current solar eclipse of July 2. Let us see how. Here is the
chart for the eclipse for Delhi, India. Notice that the eclipse is on the lower
meridian conjunct the TNP Hades
(decline) and opposite Saturn (severe
difficulties). Now here is the interesting part. The asteroid Phaethon (cars) [1] is also on the IC conjunct
the eclipse. Martha Wescott [2] interprets the combination Hades-Saturn as
under:
Hades-Saturn: to be aware of severe unemployment, poverty or other
debilitation of long duration; to hear of long term situations that are growing worse or in a state of
decline.
And if we add Phaethon
to this interpretation we can see why the car industry is affected. Since the
eclipse is worldwide in scope, we are seeing a decline in sales
and increasing unemployment for the industry. But at places like India where
the eclipse aligns with the angles, the effect is felt even more prominently.
