A Study of Planetary alignments and formations at the time of Solar Storms

There was news of a Solar Storm yesterday. If we observe the planetary placements in Rasi and Khavedamsa for yesterday, the following can be observed:

The Sun has just entered Aries a fiery sign two days back and is at 2 Ar exactly in opposition to Retrograde Saturn and in conjunction with Jupiter in the Rasi chart.Mars is in Leo which too is a fiery sign.

In the Khavedamsa chart for yesterday, Sun is in Cancer in opposition to Rahu/Ketu in Capricorn. Retrograde Pluto is in Sagittarius (fiery sign), in opposition to Saturn which is in Gemini. Mars is in Aries.

In the light of the above placements and on study of the solar storms which hit earth in the past we can come to some conclusions about the time of occurrence of the storms.The following are the dates and effects of the worst of solar storms and the astrological analysis at the time of their occurrence:

The Event:1859: The Carrington Event
The Carrington Event of 1859 was the first documented event of a solar flare impacting Earth. The event occurred at 11:18 a.m. EDT on Sept. 1 and is named after Richard Carrington, the solar astronomer who witnessed the event through his private observatory telescope and sketched the sun's sunspots at the time. The flare was the largest documented solar storm in the last 500 years, NASA scientists have said. 
According to NOAA, the Carrington solar storm event sparked major aurora displays that were visible as far south as the Caribbean. It also caused severe interruptions in global telegraph communications, even shocking some telegraph operators and sparking fires when discharges from the lines ignited telegraph paper, according to a NASA description.

Astrological  Analysis
Sun is in conjunction with Moon, Venus, Mars and Retro grade Mercury  in Leo which is a Fire sign. Sun is with in a degree of Mercury in close conjunction.
Pluto is retrograde and is in Aries which is a fire sign.
In Khavedamsa: Sun is in opposition to Retrograde Pluto and in Leo in this chart too on the day.Mars is in Aries in here.
Fire signs are afflicted in Rasi and Khavedamsa.

The Event:1972: Solar Flare vs. AT&T
The major solar flare that erupted on Aug. 4, 1972 knocked out long-distance phone communication across some states, including Illinois, according to a NASA account.
"That event, in fact, caused AT&T to redesign its power system for transatlantic cables," NASA wrote in the account.

Astrological  Analysis


The Sun is in Cancer  in Conjunction with Retrograde Mercury and Debilitated Mars  and is on the Rahu/Ketu Axis.

In Khavedamsa : Pluto is in Gemini in conjunction with Retrograde Mercury and Saturn.Sun is  in the airy sign of Libra and in conjunction with Venus.

While Mars is conjunct with Sun in Rasi,In Khavedamsa he is in Capricorn,his exaltation sign and in conjunction with Rahu/Ketu.

As Gemini is the sign of Communications and with Pluto,Saturn and Mercury afflicting it,Long distance communications got interrupted in the storm.


The Event:1989: Major Power Failures From Solar Flare
In March 1989, a powerful solar flare set off a major March 13 power blackout in Canada that left six million people without electricity for nine hours.

According to NASA, the flare disrupted electric power transmission from the Hydro Québec generating station and even melted some power transformers in New Jersey. This solar flare was nowhere near the same scale as the Carrington event, NASA scientists said.


Astrological  Analysis
The Sun is in conjunction with Mercury, Venus and is on the Rahu/Ketu axis in Aquarius ,in opposition to Leo which is a fiery sign.

In Khavedamsa
Venus,Mars and Debilitated Saturn are in Aries which is a fiery sign.

Significantly,Sun is in Opposition to Jupiter,Uranus,and is on the Rahu/Ketu axis in Sagittarius which is a fiery sign.The flare caused a power black out for about 9 hours. Involvement of Uranus in the conjunction   has resulted in the Power Failure.
Retrograde Pluto is in Leo  which is a fiery sign


The Event:2000: The Bastille Day Event
The Bastille Day event takes its name from the French national holiday since it occurred the same day on July 14, 2000. This was a major solar eruption that registered an X5 on the scale of solar flares.

The Bastille Day event caused some satellites to short-circuit and led to some radio blackouts. It remains one of the most highly observed solar storm events and was the most powerful flare since 1989.


Astrological  Analysis
Sun is in conjunction with Mars and Retrograde Mercury in Gemini and in opposition to Sagittarius which is a fiery sign. While Sun is at 28 Gemini,the Rahu/Ketu axis falls at 0 Cancer which means the Sun is only two degrees away from Rahu.

In Khavedamsa :Sun is on the Rahu/Ketu axis and in Taurus.Retrograde Pluto is in conjunction to Uranus in Leo which is a fiery sign.
Mars is in Sagittarius which is a fiery sign.


The Event:2003: The Ultra-Powerful Halloween Sun Storm
On Oct. 28, 2003, the sun unleashed a whopper of a solar flare. The intense sun storm was so strong it overwhelmed the spacecraft sensor measuring it. The sensor topped out at X28, already a massive flare), but later analysis found that the flare reached a peak strength of about X45, NASA has said.
The solar storm was part of a string of at least nine major flares over a two-week period.

Astrological Analysis
Sun in conjunction with Mercury, Venus and is on the Rahu/Ketu axis. The Sun is very close to Mercury with in 2 degrees. The Rahu/Ketu axis falls on the Aries/Libra axis where in Aries is a fire sign and Libra is an Airy sign.
Khavedamsa has Sun in conjunction to Venus and Pluto in Gemini and in opposition to Sagittarius which is a fiery sign


The Event :2006: X-Ray Sun Flare for Xmas
When a major X-class solar flare erupted on the sun on Dec. 5, 2006, it registered a powerful X9 on the space weather scale.
This storm from the sun "disrupted satellite-to-ground communications and Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation signals for about 10 minutes," according to a NASA description.
The sun storm was so powerful it actually damaged the solar X-ray imager instrument on the GOES 13 satellite that snapped its picture, NOAA officials said.

Astrological  Analysis
In Rasi,the Sun is in conjunction with Jupiter,Mars,Venus,Mercury in Scorpio.
The Rahu/Ketu axis falls on Aquarius /Leo and Ketu is conjunct Saturn.
Pluto is in Sagittarius.

In Khavedamsa:Sun is in Scorpio and is in opposition to Saturn,Mars and Rahu/Ketu ,While Pluto is in Gemini in Opposition to Sagittarius which is a fiery sign.


Conclusion :
From the above observations we can conclude that the Solar Storms hit Earth when the following two or more conditions are satisfied:


1.Sun in a Multi planetary conjunction
2.Sun on the Rahu/Ketu axis
3.Sun and or Pluto in a fiery sign or a sign in opposition to a fiery sign.
4.Pluto in Opposition/Conjunction to Sun  

Obviously the conditions should be prevalent in the Rasi chart and supported by the Khavedamsa chart.

The next most probable date for a Solar storm would be : 21 St May,2012
