US Lunar New Year 2009 (Washington DC, Mar 26, Gemini Lagna): Amavasya Yoga Afflicts 10H Government, Jupiter Debilitated in 8H = Year's Worst Dasha, Weak 6H Lord = No New Wars, Economy 2L in 12H
US 2009 Lunar NY (Mar 26, 2009, ~12:09 PM, Washington DC; Gemini lagna). Rasi: 10H has Mercury+Venus+Sun+Moon (Amavasya Yoga) — Mercury-Venus = Rajayoga (lagna lord + 2/9 lord) but Sun-Moon afflict 10H of government; 10H lord Jupiter debilitated in 8H with Rahu = "worst planet in chart; Jupiter is a Maraka"; Saturn (8/9 lord) in 3H = "excellent — functional benefic well placed." Shastiamsa: Jupiter in Purisha (excrement) amsa = "extremely inauspicious; very bad results from Jupiter dasha." Sun and Moon in Kantaka amsa = thorns afflicting lagna lord Mercury. Problematic dashas: Sun-Moon (Aug 21 – Oct 8) = Amavasya dasha = "bad events affecting national mood"; Jupiter (Dec 21 – Feb next) = "worst dasha of year — Jupiter debilitated in 8H with Rahu in Purisha amsa = something significant and unfortunate." Good dashas: Saturn, Mercury, Ketu. War analysis: 6H lord Moon heavily afflicted (Saturn, Ketu, Sun, Amavasya) = "weak 6H lord; won't fight wars well; will withdraw from ongoing wars; no major new wars." Economy: Virgo lagna for US finances chart; 2H lord Venus in 12H debilitated afflicted by Rahu = "bad for economy"; 5H (stock market): 8L Mars + Rahu = "negative sentiment on Wall Street; no comfort about economy." Auto industry: Mars as karaka-lagna; Mars + Venus in 2H with Amavasya + 2L in 12H debilitated = "not good for auto sector."
"Jupiter is the worst planet in the US 2009 Lunar New Year chart — debilitated in the 8th house with Rahu, and in Purisha amsa in the Shastiamsa. Jupiter dasha will bring something significant and unfortunate. And the 6th lord Moon is heavily afflicted — the US will not fight wars well this year. It will withdraw from conflicts, not start new ones."

US — Lunar New Year Chart (March 26, 2009, ~12:09 PM, Washington DC)
Lagna: Gemini 14°55' (using Jagannatha Ayanamsa) Year Ruler (Hora Lord): Moon
Rasi Analysis
- 10th house: lagna lord Mercury + Venus + Sun + Moon (very close conjunction)
- Mercury-Venus = nice Rajayoga (lagna lord + 2nd/9th lord together)
- BUT: Amavasya Yoga (Sun+Moon very close, ~12° each) afflicting the 10th house
- 10th lord Jupiter: debilitated in 8th house with Rahu → "Some problem relating to 10th house/government"
- 2nd and 3rd lords also in 10th = not ideal
- Saturn: 8th/9th lord in 3rd house → functional benefic well placed; "Saturn is excellent"
- Mars: 6th lord in 9th house → "OK; 6th lord not ideal for dharma, but not disastrous"
- Jupiter: 7th and 10th lord debilitated in 8th with Rahu → worst planet; "Jupiter is a Maraka"
- Ketu: 6th lord in 2nd house → "not great"
- Venus: retrograde in 10th → weakness
Shastiamsa (Shashtiamsa / Amsa)
- Jupiter in Purisha (excrement) amsa = "extremely inauspicious; very bad results expected from Jupiter dasha"
- Sun and Moon in Kantaka amsa = thorns; afflicting the lagna lord Mercury
Navamsha
- Sun and Moon in Bhagya sthana (9th) but afflicted by Saturn and Ketu; Sun debilitated there
- Both lagna lords of Navamsha (if Aquarius lagna) reasonably well placed: Saturn in 9th (exalted retrograde), Rahu in 3rd → "good start for foreign relations"
- 7th lord debilitated and afflicted by Ketu → "won't be great in relations, but no major war"
Problematic Dashas
- Sun-Moon dasha (Aug 21 – Oct 8): Amavasya Yoga dasha; "Sun is 12th lord in 4th house, aspecting important planets; this dasha will bring bad events affecting national mood"
- Jupiter dasha (Dec 21 – Feb ~): "Worst dasha of the year; Jupiter debilitated in 8th with Rahu; in Purisha amsa — something significant and unfortunate"
Good Dashas
- Saturn: 3rd lord in 11th → good
- Mercury: lagna lord in quadrant → good
- Ketu: 3rd lord in 11th → good
War Analysis
- 6th lord Moon: afflicted by Saturn, Ketu, Sun, Amavasya Yoga → "Weak 6th lord = won't fight wars well; will withdraw from ongoing wars or perform badly"
- "No major new wars expected this year; but no smooth relations either"
US Finances
- Virgo lagna for US finances chart
- 2nd lord (Venus) in 12th house, debilitated, afflicted by Rahu → "2nd lord of wealth in 12th = bad for economy"
- 5th house (stock market mood): 8th lord (Mars) + Rahu there → "no sense of comfort that economy is fine; negative sentiment on Wall Street"
- 4th house (peace of mind): Amavasya + 4 planets; lord in 6th → "no national peace or happiness"
Mechanical/Auto Industry
- Karaka = Mars; take Mars as lagna
- "Bunch of planets in 2nd house giving Amavasya yoga; 2nd lord debilitated in 12th afflicted by Rahu = not good for this industry"
