Kerala Flood – Which planets were responsible?

For the last few months the planetary positions have not been good in general. Jupiter was retrograde till 10th July and got straight thereafter. Mercury turned retrograde in the end of July and got straight on Sunday, 19th August. Still after this Mars and Saturn are retrograde and will turn straight on 27th August and 6th September respectively.
Kerala is Number 14 ruled by Mercury. Since Mercury turned retrograde, the rains started in Kerala and the red alert was lifted immediately after Mercury turned straight on 19th August. Not all Mercury retrograde is bad for Kerala or Number 5 people but this time Mercury was retrograde in Cancer which is its enemy house. On top of that Rahu is also positioned in Cancer right now. This combination can be lethal for people with Mercury mahadasa or Mercury mahadasa with Rahu antardasa.
There has been a lot of loss and damage in Kerala and things will be under contorl only by 6th September when Saturn turns straight.
Number 14 as a Number is positive that is why Kerala is the most literate state in India. Despite of this disaster Kerala will keep growing and will remain as the most prospering state in India.
