Forecasting can be done for hurricanes and tornados too. These primeval forces of Mother Nature are well appreciated and are needed for the mankind. When it exceeds the limits, we fear. For example, one glass of water when compared to ocean, the multiple and enlarged ratios, actually create fears. So, the big we see, we call it as giant. The giant gives the meaning of superhuman size and nature. Here comes the astonishment to access the God, the creator of earth, sun and stars. Even the small creatures like virus, and mosquitoes which are very small, but they do have eyes and other sensitive parts. Is it not a wonder?

LORD SATURN

Where as earth takes only 365 days to make a circle. Saturn does it in 10,950 days. That counts to approximately 30 months to cross one zodiac sign. For the living beings, Saturn stands authority to age and life. Saturn is considered as a strict teacher. While teaching lessons, the punishment is also there for one who does wrong. Astrology tells that the fate is decided by Saturn. The position of Saturn in every body’s horoscope is deeply checked. Since He is a punisher, one and all fear for his behavior. Certain zodiac signs are very cruel and critical when the transit of Saturn happens. Such bad place will be dealt with fear for life, failure in marriage, unbearable poverty trouble, some court cases, and demotions in jobs and all kinds of losses.
Such kind of sufferings may continue for 7 to 8 years. Some people will have miserable experience. This is noticed as 7½ year-Saturn. The health conditions will grow worse. Medical expenses will be heavy. Some persons may go mad. Some will be with fear of devils. Many persons will have to face the enemies and loose their opportunities.

RAGU AND KETHU
In astrological norms, they are defined as shadows; if one straight line is drawn from Sun to Earth, once in a year or twice the moon’s transit will occur in between Sun and Earth. That day is called Solar Eclipse. Some days, between Sun and Moon, the traveling route of earth will cross and create Lunar Eclipse. This long line, infinity to infinity should also possess two edges. One is Ragu and other one is Kethu. (The contact with orbital points of moon)
In olden age, the life of a person who sees the crescent moon (on the waxing period-specifically 3rd crescent) on the 1000th time from his birth was honored. That comes to the account of 83 years to 84 years of living.
Rahu and Ketu take about 19 months to transit through a sign. Transit of these planets brings in important changes in the life of an individual. The impact is not always negative. But the malefic effects can be loss and pain to the investors, ego clashes, verbal fights within married couples, problems with bosses, lack of courage and confidence and many more. Astrological consultation is needed to identify the various areas of the life which will be affected by Ragu and Kethu and get remedial solutions for mitigating the negative affects.
