I was walking around the carport in front of the garage, suddenly realizing that I either want to completely destroy the universe (and myself), or completely rule over it and control everything for an indefinite amount of time. But I couldn't decide which I wanted more.
The exact moment I came to that realization, I heard a sudden single knock right above me, which sounded like a rock or acorn hitting the gutter around the outer edge of the roof, and then saw a large June bug fall and land on it's back right beside me. It was really meant to get my attention!
It kept frantically wiggling its legs in the air as it lay on its back on the hot pavement. It was a few feet away from the grass so I pulled a blade of grass that I could use to help flip the bug back on its feet and prod it toward the cool grass. But right before I could touch the bug, it finally managed to flip itself back on its feet on its own, and then immediately flew away.
Astrological Considerations: Natally I have the dreaded Mars-Saturn conjunction in the 10th. And also the dreaded Sun-Saturn opposition in the 4th-10th.
Currently Saturn is closely transiting my natal Sun, and Sun and Mercury are closely transiting my natal Rahu.
I checked the chart of the moment (not a prashna, however). The AK was Mercury, which is in the Sagittarius navamsha. Sagittarius, the "fall from a hight", was the "swamsha of the moment" just as I guessed! Saturn and Ketu were there with him as well.
I have a Sag lagna, but not swamsha. But I do have a Sun-Rahu conjunction in Sag in my navamsha.
I forgot the June Bug karaka.
But we don't need any astrology in omens necessarily.

The bug flipped over. It encourages you to invert your thoughts. In stead of projecting your longing for to destroy your mental blockings on the universe, it´s your ego that you want to overcome/destroy. And it seems that you life is a presenting a chance for you to do that now.
The June bug is a good omen. Of luck, prosperity and change. So putting your fear aside and focus on surrendering in this situation should bring really good results for your life.

@staffan Well at least I was willing to stop and help out a struggling insect during during an otherwise completely egomanaical moment, lol.
A bit of an absurdist touch, on my part.
@mitryendra80 Well, yes, but I think it was a clear and beautiful omen that you should listen to. I hope you didn´t feel judged by me talking about your mental blockings. I mean, we all have them, that´s the whole reason that we are born on Earth to my understanding. To experience and learn to break free from them.

@staffan No worries.
I thought it was kind of an elegant omen myself. I think it had several meanings that are idiosyncratic to my predicament.
Omens seem to be more clear and direct around the time of the full and new moons, as well as during transits to key places in the chart, and around the time of eclipses as well.
However I still have the experience of the bad omens coming true and the good ones don't.
I struggle with dealing with the avashthas because it involves balancing and discerning contradictory forces that are all required, but probably at different times.
@mitryendra80 Yeah... The bug laying on it´s back indicates frustration and struggle. But being able to flip over indicates flipping over mentally as a solution. And the bug itself indicates luck and prosperity. So it should end well.
That´s how I read it.

Looks like the universe helped you solve your confusion 😆
You started with not being sure about whether you wanted to destroy the universe and yourself, or completely rule over it and control everything. By the way, there must have been something happening in the skies that day as I too had a similar strong feeling.
So, being the kind person you are, and wanting to help the tiny little bug, you obviously will not destroy the universe or yourself.
As for trying to control everything, just as you went to help the little bug, it righted itself and flew away. Is there anything that you can control in the world? 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
