Pakistan
Pakistan is passing through the period of Ketu from Dec 26, 2000 - Dec 26, 2007. Ketu is a Violent Malefic prone to secret and subversive events. It is placed in the eighth house (upheavals, changes, death, warfare, etc.) of the Pakistani chart.
Interpretation - As long as the Ketu period continues (up to 2007) it is likely that the situation in Pakistan will characterized by violence, aggression, subversion, and terrorism. As a result, the threat of war with India will be an ever- present possibility throughout this period.
Musharraf:
The nature of the Ketu period suggests the loss of the president. It is unlikely that Musharraf will finish out the period as president. He will probably be removed by force or assassination.
The following Sub periods will probably increase the occurrence of negative events in Pakistan or between India and Pakistan
Mars X Ketu: June- 30, 2003 - November 26, 2003
Mars X Rahu: November 26, 2003 - December 2004
Mars X Saturn: November 20, 2005 - December 30, 2006
It is possible that after the Venus period begins in 2007, that the tension between India and Pakistan may diminish.
