China faced Uighur unrest on Sunday, July 5th 2009. In the city of Urumqi (Urumchi) in the province of Xinjiang, northwestern China, violence broke out. The unrest led to the deaths of 156 people; 800 people were injured. The conflict has dimensions that are political, ethnic and religious. Timing of this sudden eruption comes in the background of the Triple Eclipses of July August 2009. We analyze the astrological aspect.

The Total solar eclipse will be visible in India from 8:05 AM IST on Wednesday July 22, 2009 (Starts: 6:23 AM, Maximum: 8:05 AM, End: 9:47 AM). Its detailed path over India is shown in our earlier blog on Surya Grahan. This major total solar eclipse, coming within months of nationwide political elections and a stable ministry formation in the center, will have tremendous influence as the Vedic Horoscope of the eclipse moment indicates.

Eclipses: Tables of Solar and Lunar Eclipses between 2003-2014

"Of all the celestial events visible from the Earth, eclipses are the most awesome. The term is derived from a Greek word meaning 'abandonment' or 'failure'. During a solar eclipse, light from the Sun is visibly diminished, sometimes to the extent that it disappears altogether. Regions of the world directly affected by the eclipse are plunged into an eerie half-light. During a lunar eclipse, a coppery-red shadow moves across the bright face of the full moon, sometimes obscuring it completely so that the Moon glows with a dim, reddish light. "
