Astrologically Information Technology (Technical Aspects) is governed by the planet Saturn and Jupiter. The past history of global/economic slowdown in 1913, 1929, 1963, 2001 and 2008 if analysed astrologically, the transit showed the combination of Jupiter and Rahu on verge of every economic slowdown. In 2001 slowdown there was combination of jupiter and rahu in transit. Again in 2008 end there was a combination of Jupiter and Rahu in transit (Started from 17th October2008) which has given a slowdown globally effecting the I.T. sector. There was a net effect of Saturn being in simha (leo) raashi as well which has added to the slowdown. The rahu has laid the market in auspicious condition once it came along with Jupiter (that too in makar raashi where jupiter is laided down).
