PM Narender Modi was in the air at about 9 PM on 8 November 2016 announcing that currency notes of rupees 500 and 1000 stood banned effective from midnight of the said date. Details of going about and conditions were also spelt out. The objectives of the move so declared are obvious and could likely have salutary effect on economy of the nation. In this regard , it may be relevant to let readers know this Vedic astrology writer’s prediction in article “ 2017 – an opportune year for India with some major worrisome concerns in February- March and August- September” under submission to a well known print-online news magazine thequint.com for some days past from 9 November 2016. These yearly predictions , like those hitherto well –known for the present year 2016 published on 18 January 2016 and happened meaningful , are intended to serve as an alert for the nation for strategies to deal with likely planetary influences from cosmos having potential to manifest in some scenario. Briefly speaking , the year seems to suggest , as the title of the article goes , certain opportunities for the nation followed by realization during April to July . Having said that , it does not mean that there are no opportunities or realization during remaining period of the year but the quantum seems to be not as much as in April- July. At the same time , as the title of the article further suggests , February- March and August- September look to be having potential to cause major worries but much depends on how prepared nation is to face or set off those impacts, meaning thereby that these predictions donot carry a character of certainty or determinism. Our doings or present acts known as ‘ karma’ also has a role in either diluting or reducing such planetary potential. Coming to the economy of the nation during the year , this is what has been said in the article under submission : – “ Economy may be straightened up to an extent”. So it seems one big step or measure of the Govt has come in that direction on the midnight of 8 November 2016 , on the eve of 2017.
