Indian Cricketing Debacle: Astro Analysis
Indian Cricketing Debacle: Astro Analysis
When Mahendra Singh Dhoni took charge of captaincy of Indian cricket team in World Cup 20-20 match in 2007, he brought in a new approach to the game. His composed and cool behavior on the ground earned him the title of Mr. Cool. He became a darling to crores of Indian fans 50% of whom are below 25 years of age. His popularity gave him a larger than life image. But, his approach in the current world cup 20-20 match seems mired in controversies. What went wrong this time?
I have been emphasizing in my articles earlier that Saturn’s transit in Leo rashi unsettles people who are placed on top and helps the underdogs. We saw this trend very clearly during the IPL matches when The Rajasthan royals, the ruling champions of 2008 lost the cup. The weakest team of last year Deccan chargers won the cup defeating all the contenders. The Indian cricket team approached the 2009, 20-20 world cup as defending Champions. They failed to pass the test of Saturn. It is said that Saturn is a teacher who doesn’t favor arrogance.
When Indian premier league was formally announced and the corporates were bidding for players, it seemed that players in coming times will play mainly for money and national interests will take a backseat. We noticed that 2 players of Indian cricket team did not even bother to collect the Padma Shree awards from the President of India. The media reported that one of the cricketers was busy shooting ad films.
According to India’s coach Gary Kirsten "We had a bunch of cricketers who arrived quite tired. We have had a demanding schedule and we never got ourselves to the required intensity for the standard and quality of the international game, which is higher than IPL. We weren't an energetic team”
Now the question arises are we not allowing our national pride go down for the self interest of players, board and IPL franchisee holders. This needs thorough debate.
India is passing through the dasa of Venus till September 2009. Venus in Vedic astrology refers to glamour industry and grace of Maa Lakshmi (Goddess of wealth). Indian cricketers have been richly endowed by glamour as well as rewarded with high fees. No other sport except cricket has got so much of attention and fan following in our country. It seems that cricketers have forgotten that they are supported and loved in this country because they perform for India and not because they perform for self.
Learned teach us that to reap abundance in life, one need to follow his / her life purpose. The life purpose supports him financially. However, the limitation with people is that they forget to keep a proper balance between the purpose of life and desire for money. The result is that we tend to lose our life purpose as well as money and self esteem. It is a warning for our cricket team that cricket is not for those who value their personal growth more than the growth of the team. India is ruled by Saturn, who can lift a person to top instantly. But, act of ego, arrogance and greed may cause instant fall also.
Indian cricket team was overflowing with talent. There were some debatable selection of players and their batting order. Tried and Tested players were asked to bat after inexperienced players that made India have shameful exit. The world champions of 2007 were not able to win even a single match in three super eight matches, because of the captains 'I-am-too-big-for-my-boots' attitude.
Hope Indian cricket team especially Mahendra Singh Dhoni learns from this debacle and play for India’s glory when they tour West Indies.

Are Indians Global Hate Targets?: Astro analysis
Are Indians Global Hate Targets?: Astro analysis
In colonial India many British clubs posted notices that dogs and Indians are not allowed in the club. That was the time when India was subservient to foreign rule and the British wanted to keep the Indians under their feet.
The situation changed in the midnight of 15th August 1947 when India was re-born and it got its new horoscope. From 1947 onwards the country passed through the Mahadasa’s of Saturn, Mercury and Ketu during which the country could not make rapid progress. However, in the Mahadasa of Venus from 12th September 1989 onwards the country made exemplary strides.
India is right now passing through the last antardasa of Venus, to be precise, the antardasa of Venus / Ketu till 12th September 2009. In my last article “The Second Innings of Dr. Manmohan Singh.” I stated that “the problems emerging in foreign lands relating to economic, political or social problems of ethnic Indians will continue to affect the country”.
The ending antardasa in any Mahadasa is commonly known as “dasa chhidra”. This is the period when the planets prepare us for the next Mahadasa. From 12th September 2009 the Mahadasa of Sun is starting as per the horoscope of India. Sun will help India to become a power to be reckoned with. But, superpower status is not achieved by being dependent on others.
As per Vedic astrology, the Mahadasa of Sun placed in the 3rd house is good. India is also going to benefit for which foundations have already been laid. India has voted for a stable government. At the helm of affairs is nationally endorsed Dr. Manmohan Singh, leading the country as Prime Minister. The Mahadasa of Sun will pass through the regime of Dr. Manmohan Singh. Destiny is preparing India for a bigger role and it is ready to take-off. This may be a thing of envy for others. It is getting reflected in global hate for Indians.
We, as Indians have to value our own resources and rely on our own talent. We should not waste our valuable foreign exchange to enrich other countries. The ending Mahadasa of Venus / Ketu intend to teach us an important lesson. We have to utilize our resources in such a way which can enhance our national pride.
The Mahadasa of Venus that passed for 20 years on India, bestowed great financial strength on the country. Foreign exchange reserves improved substantially. Whether the world community likes it or dislikes it, the time of India has arrived. India is the largest democracy in the world and it has successfully concluded the general election to the Lok Sabha in 2009 under the shadow of terrorist threats.
Indians have also proved their managerial capabilities by moving the IPL matches lock, stock and barrel to South Africa. Cricketers from every country were given equal chance in these matches. However, what happened in Australia with Indian students is a different story which is sad. There have been attacks in London on a Sikh temple. Air France's recent discrimination on Indian passengers has also been noted. More than four attacks on Indian students in Australia in a month have taken place. The students who went to study in Australia were forced to fight for their security under the umbrella of “Federation of Indian Students in Australia”.
Fingers were also raised in South Africa during IPL matches when the coaching staff of Kolkata Knight Rider’s team misbehaved with Indian players on alleged racial grounds. They should have noted that the organizers of the IPL matches were Indians. A student studying in USA in the state of Mississippi was also beaten black and blue and was reported to be in coma.
The coming Mahadasa of Sun makes it necessary for India and Indians to rise up and learn to achieve the status of a superpower. Change of mindset of the Government and the people is a must to achieve that status. India has to learn this before it’s too late.
Our country has a very large consumer market and every other country wants to take advantage of this market. Even superpowers are coming here to earn. But, they should also show friendly gestures. The norms have been violated many times in recent days. It is for the government to take note of these outrageous violations because India is much different today than it was in the 1960’s and 1970’s.
We admire Amitabh Bachchan for refusing to take honor from Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia. Such moves will help in restoration of our national pride.

The Second Innings of Dr. Manmohan Singh: Astro Analysis
The Second Innings of Dr. Manmohan Singh: Astro Analysis
After the UPA government won the 2009 general elections, Dr. Manmohan Singh was reappointed as the Prime Minister of India on May 22, 2009, making him the first Indian Prime Minister since Jawaharlal Nehru to return to power after completing a full five-year term.
The UPA government was sworn on 22nd May 2009 at 06:30 PM in the Ashoka Hall of Rastrapati Bhawan, New Delhi. The lagna chosen was Scorpio. Being a fixed sign, it represents stable government at the centre. Saturn in the 10th house indicates that the new government means business. It will push development agenda further.
The placement of Jupiter in the 4th house and aspect of Saturn on the 4th house (own house) indicates that the government at the centre is stable and will last its full term.
However, the placement of retrograde Mercury in the 7th house indicates that allies will keep on posing problems for the Government by making irrational demands. Keeping the flock together will be the biggest work for congress.
The placement of Ketu in the 9th house indicates that foreign policy will be the main area of focus for the government till September 2010. The problems emerging in foreign lands relating to economic, political or social problems of ethnic Indians will continue to affect the country.
Challenges before Manmohan Singh:-
Health:
Manmohan Singh has a history of heart ailment and underwent coronary bypass surgery in 1990 and angioplasty in 2004. Singh also underwent a second bypass surgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on 24 January 2009. Health can be a concern for him in the present tenure as the Prime Minister of India. Astrologically, placement of Moon in the sixth house is not very good for the health prospects of the Head of state in astrology.
Security Threats and Neighborhood Environment:
Apart from the threats from the Western front especially from Jihadi terrorists, India also faces threats from China. The Chinese have constructed ports in Kyauk Phyu in Burma, Hambantota in Sri Lanka and Gwadar in Pakistan which can be easily converted into naval bases. Saturn’s transit in Leo rashi will keep security personnel always on toes. The Maoists have already spread their influence in the north in Nepal and Tamil problem is still alive in the south in Sri Lanka. With 78 member ministry, the present Government is expected to keep an eye on these matters and selection of S.M. Krishna, Shashi Tharur and Parmeeta Kaur for this job looks good.
Economic Problems and Creation of New jobs:
The world is passing through tough economic patch. Corporates are making losses. Economic slowdown syndrome is all pervasive. There are job cuts in all major sectors in the world. India today is directly affected by the problems of the west. The retrogression of 11th lord Mercury indicates that government has to spend a lot to help the economy come out of problems. There shall be depletion in the foreign exchange reserve in the country. There will be a decline in the revenue of the government as well. Fiscal problems will be a big concern. Since he is the architect of liberalized economy, the pace of growth will be good despite all odds. The Mahadasa of Sun will start in the horoscope of India from 12th September 2009. Hence, Government will have to take initiative to create new jobs. They cannot depend on private sector alone to create more jobs.
The UPA government under the leadership of Manmohan Singh is likely to complete its full term. However, if the health of Manmohan Singh deteriorates, he may step down as Prime Minister of the country.

Chiranjeevi and Vijaykanth- Electoral Fortunes: Astro Analysis
Chiranjeevi and Vijaykanth- Electoral Fortunes: Astro Analysis
Chiranjeevi founded Praja Rajyam as a regional political party in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India on August 26, 2008.
The party contested all 40 Lok Sabha seats in Andhra Pradesh and lost all of them. It won in 18 of 294 assembly seats. The party leader, Chiranjeevi contested two assembly seats Tirupathi and Palacole in his native West Godavari district, and lost the Palacole election. It polled 15 % votes and is believed to have affected the victory chances of TDP in many seats. It came second in 31 assembly seats and three Lok Sabha seats.
Chiranjeevi was born on 22nd August 1955 at 10:10 AM in Narsapur. In Chiranjeevi’s horoscope Libra is the rising Lagna, Vedic Sun sign is Leo and Moon sign is Virgo. The birth Nakshatra is Chitra 2nd pada. There is formation of Hamsha yoga (exalted Jupiter in Kendra) and Sasa yoga (exalted Saturn in Lagna). Both, these yogas are “Panch Mahapurusha yoga” meaning yogas which make a person dignified. However, Saturn and Jupiter both are getting debilitated (weak) in Navamsha chart. Hence, the promise of major political gains was diluted.
The 7th lord in Chiranjeevi’s horoscope is Mars that happens to be placed with the Lagna lord Venus in the house of gains (11th house). Hence, Praja Rajyam party under his leadership can grow up as a more dominating party after June 2012 when the Mahadasa of Mercury starts in the horoscope of Chiranjeevi. However, Chiranjeevi should learn the art of alliance to have a say in the next assembly election. His horoscope suggests gains from alliances.
Vijaykanth was born on 25th August 1952 in Madurai. The time of birth is not available. Hence, assessment has been made from natal Moon. In his horoscope the Sun sign is Leo, Moon sign is Virgo and birth Nakshatra is Chitra 2nd pada.
Vijaykanth formed Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK). He formally announced party formation on September 14, 2005 at Madurai. The party head office is in Koyambedu, Chennai.
This party contested all 234 seats in the state elections in May 2006 with Vijayakanth contesting in Vridhachalam. The party polled almost 3 million votes which were about 10% of the total votes cast. This was surprisingly a very good show for a new party. However, the total votes did not translate into assembly seats. All the candidates of the DMDK with the exception of Mr.Vijaykanth lost the elections in 2006.
DMDK contested all 39 seats independently in Tamil Nadu in the 15th Lok Sabha election in 2009 and lost all of them. The party, however, made strong inroads in the heartland of Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK). The party polled 30.52 lakh votes of the total of 3.02 crore valid votes polled in the state representing roughly a vote share of 10.09 %.
Though his party did not win any seat, it appears to have made the difference between margin of victory or loss in case of many candidates. Well established party PMK has been seriously affected.
Here, the point to be noted is that Sun sign, Moon sign and birth Nakshatra of both Chiranjeevi and Vijaykanth are same. However, the difference is that there are rajya yogas and Panch Mahapurusha yoga’s in the horoscope of Chiranjeevi that is giving him and edge over Vijaykanth.
The seventh lord from Moon in case of Vijaykanth is Jupiter that happens to be placed in the 8th house. This indicates that his party is not able to forge ahead because of lack of alliances. However, DMDK will be able to do well if Vijaykanth is able to bring in Rajnikanth in his party. If either the AIADMK or DMK lose hold in the state, he will be a direct beneficiary.

Mahinda Rajapaksha and Terror Free Sri Lanka: Astro Analysis
Mahinda Rajapaksha and Terror Free Sri Lanka: Astro Analysis
Mahinda Rajapaksa will be known in history as a president who brought an end to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and its chief Velupillai Prabhakaran.
Soon after the reports of Sri Lankan army’s win over LTTE Sri Lanka's president declared his country "liberated from separatist terror" on Tuesday. The state television broadcasted images of the Tamil Tiger rebel leader's body after it was recovered from the battlefield.
But in his victory address to parliament, President Mahinda Rajapaksa appeared to reach out to the minority Tamils, for whom the rebels had said they were trying to carve out a homeland. He also seemed to promise a power-sharing agreement with them.
"Our intention was to save the Tamil people from the cruel grip of the (rebels). We all must now live as equals in this free country," he said, briefly speaking in the Tamil language.
Mahinda Rajapaksa was born on 18th November 1945 in Weeraketiya. Moon was placed in Aries rashi and birth Nakshatra was Ashvini. Time of birth is not very certain, hence astrological analysis has been done from natal Moon.
Venus is placed in the 7th house in own sign in the horoscope indicating that his wife will be beautiful. Shiranthi Wickremesinghe, his wife was Miss Sri Lanka in 1978 and also represented Sri Lanka at the Miss World Contest. This justifies our analysis from Moon.
The most important combination that draws my attention is placement of Rahu in the 3rd house from Moon. This placement means that the president is courageous and a tough decision maker.
Mars and Saturn combination in the 4th house indicates the strong resolve to fight militancy. However, this conjunction also indicates that there can be safety concerns for him. Mars and Saturn combination in 4th house does give danger from conveyance.
Aries rashi gives him a strong temperament and qualities of commander in chief. He knows that terror can be countered not by talks but by strong military action. As per numerology also the date of birth 1+8 adds up to 9 which represent Mars.
His date of birth add up to 1+8+1+1+1+9+4+5 = 30 which adds up to 3+0= 3 which represents Jupiter; hence in future he will prove to be a sound administrator as well. In all likelihood he would work for the betterment and honor of the Tamilian immigrants in Sri Lanka.
The challenges before Mahinda Rajapaksa will be immense in times to come. The entire world will watch out how the president will win the confidence of Tamilians of Sri Lanka. Because, if he fails to do so, there can be birth of yet another rebel in Sri Lanka.
Military action can stop the menace of rebellion only for sometime. However, it is very important for him to address the issues which saw the rise of Velupillai Prabhakaran and Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). The issues are discrimination with Tamils, lack of education and employment for them and their treatment as inferior citizens.
The Government of India is extending financial support for rehabilitation of Tamils in war affected areas. Hope India and Sri Lanka work together for betterment of Tamilians in Sri Lanka. Mahinda Rajapaksa became Member of Parliament at the tender age of 24 years and he has enough experience to understand the main issue behind the Tamil problem.

Taliban- Potential threat or blessing in disguise?: Astro Analysis
Taliban- Potential threat or blessing in disguise?: Astro Analysis
South Asia comprises of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and Maldives out of which India and Pakistan have the most important and dominant presence. The recent transits of planets have triggered many changes in the political arena of all these countries. Sri Lanka is crushing the LTTE causing a concern in India as well. Pakistan is passing through one of the worst offensive from Taliban and they are fighting a war to survive.
The bottom line is that even though boundaries were made to separate two nations, the regional base and common roots between these neighboring counties affect the polity in these nations. Imposition of Jazia Tax on Sikh community in Taliban controlled areas in Pakistan made India appeal to the Government of Pakistan to interfere in this matter. Tamilian issue in Sri Lanka has been one of the key election issues in Tamil Nadu politics.
I want to emphasize that even though nations are separated by their geographical boundaries, the problems originating from a common root can be solved only through mutual negotiations. No problem in today’s world can be left isolated. Hence, the concern in Pakistan directly affects India as well.
Transit of Saturn in Leo rashi sets new trend. The aspect of Jupiter from 3rd May 2009 on Saturn indicates that the politics of hate has to be substituted by politics of tolerance and cooperation. What is relevant here is that US President Mr. Barack Obama has also said to Pakistan President Mr. Asif Ali Zardari that India is not a threat to Pakistan. The real threat to Pakistan is Taliban.
If statements of Mr. Asif Ali Zardari have to be believed, this will perhaps be the first occasion when Pakistan will seek cooperation both from USA and India for combating the menace of Taliban. Mr. Zardari has also said that after the election and formation of a new government, he will seek betterment of economic ties with India.
Rahu and Ketu axis is afflicting natal moon and 3rd house in India’s horoscope. The 4th lord Sun is also afflicted in transit. The result of this transit is that there shall be attempts of infiltration from Indian border. Terrorists can make attempts to get into the country and create disturbance.
Simultaneously, Rahu and Ketu transit from 4th house in Pakistan’s horoscope indicates that militants are posing a threat to the integrity and sovereignty of Pakistan.
Hence, India and Pakistan both make a perfect team to settle these issues together and they may combat militancy, poverty and other problems affecting their growth. Mutual hatred will not fulfill the needs of the rapidly growing population of these two countries. The welfare of the people in both of them depends on economic growth.
Taliban issue is creating a perfect platform from where both the countries can work together for a better tomorrow. Hence, Taliban can prove to be a blessing in disguise and opening up of a new chapter in India - Pakistan relationship.

Rahu and Ketu axis is afflicting natal moon and 3rd house in India’s horoscope. The 4th lord Sun is also afflicted in transit. The result of this transit is that there shall be attempts of infiltration from Indian border. Terrorists can make attempts to get into the country and create disturbance.
Simultaneously, Rahu and Ketu transit from 4th house in Pakistan’s horoscope indicates that militants are posing a threat to the integrity and sovereignty of Pakistan.
Hence, India and Pakistan both make a perfect team to settle these issues together and they may combat militancy, poverty and other problems affecting their growth. Mutual hatred will not fulfill the needs of the rapidly growing population of these two countries. The welfare of the people in both of them depends on economic growth.
Taliban issue is creating a perfect platform from where both the countries can work together for a better tomorrow. Hence, Taliban can prove to be a blessing in disguise and opening up of a new chapter in India - Pakistan relationship.

South Asia comprises of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and Maldives out of which India and Pakistan have the most important and dominant presence. The recent transits of planets have triggered many changes in the political arena of all these countries. Sri Lanka is crushing the LTTE causing a concern in India as well. Pakistan is passing through one of the worst offensive from Taliban and they are fighting a war to survive.
The bottom line is that even though boundaries were made to separate two nations, the regional base and common roots between these neighboring counties affect the polity in these nations. Imposition of Jazia Tax on Sikh community in Taliban controlled areas in Pakistan made India appeal to the Government of Pakistan to interfere in this matter. Tamilian issue in Sri Lanka has been one of the key election issues in Tamil Nadu politics.
I want to emphasize that even though nations are separated by their geographical boundaries, the problems originating from a common root can be solved only through mutual negotiations. No problem in today’s world can be left isolated. Hence, the concern in Pakistan directly affects India as well.
Transit of Saturn in Leo rashi sets new trend. The aspect of Jupiter from 3rd May 2009 on Saturn indicates that the politics of hate has to be substituted by politics of tolerance and cooperation. What is relevant here is that US President Mr. Barack Obama has also said to Pakistan President Mr. Asif Ali Zardari that India is not a threat to Pakistan. The real threat to Pakistan is Taliban.
If statements of Mr. Asif Ali Zardari have to be believed, this will perhaps be the first occasion when Pakistan will seek cooperation both from USA and India for combating the menace of Taliban. Mr. Zardari has also said that after the election and formation of a new government, he will seek betterment of economic ties with India.

Powerful women in Indian Politics: Astro Analysis
Powerful women in Indian Politics: Astro Analysis
Indian politics cannot be complete without the role of females in the present scenario. Late Smt. Indira Gandhi has been considered as the most powerful prime minister that India has ever produced.
Right now, in India there are three powerful women leaders who hold the key to any government formation. They are also the most powerful leaders in their political outfits.
Mrs Sonia Gandhi (Congress President)
She needs no introduction in political arena. She is the daughter in law of Late Smt. Indira Gandhi and wife of Late Shri Rajiv Gandhi who have remained central to Congress Governments. After the death of her husband she remained away from politics for many years. Thereafter, because of bad performance of congress in the elections she accepted the post of party president and helped congress reorganize itself. She has now become the most powerful leader of the party and the nation. The opposition alleges that the present congress government works under her commands.
In her horoscope Cancer is the sign rising in the lagna. Cancer Lagna is the lagna of royalty. Her horoscope makes her a natural leader. Her Moon sign is Gemini and Vedic Sun sign is Scorpio. The dasa running right now is of Mercury / Jupiter till 17th December 2009. Jupiter is involved in rajya yoga indicating that the period right now is favorable for her. Because she is the president of the Indian National Congress, the party will get more seats in the ongoing election. The Mahadasa running right now is of Mercury that happens to be placed in the 5th house and the 5th house signifies children. She rejected the Prime Ministers post but groomed her children well in politics. In future both her children will play more active role in Indian Politics and she will remain relevant as a great leader.
Ms. J. Jayalalitha (AIDMK)
She was a famous film star before entering into politics. She is the incumbent general secretary of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIDMK) in the state of Tamil Nadu. She is popularly called Amma (mother) and Puratchi Thalaivi (Revolutionary Leader) by her followers.
In her horoscope Gemini was rising in the lagna. Moon is placed in Leo rashi. Sun is placed in Aquarius. The dasa running right now is of Rahu / Sun from 23/02/2009 to 17/01/2010. Sun is the 3rd lord placed in house of fortune indicating that in her leadership AIDMK will give tough fight to Karunanidhi. However, Jayalalitha is passing through the period of Sadhe Saati. There can be health related concerns for her during the current transit of Saturn. Electoral prospects for her are however good.
Ms. Mayawati (Bahujan Samaj Party)
She is the current Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. She has been the Chief Minister during three other short tenures in the past but her party holds absolute majority in the state as of date. She is the highest income-tax payer among all politicians in India paying Rs. 26 crore for year 2007-08. Coming from a dalit family, Mayawati made her way to the seat of chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state of India.
In her horoscope Capricorn was rising in the lagna. Moon is placed in Capricorn rashi. Sun is placed in Capricorn. The dasa running on her right now is of Saturn / Moon from 18/05/2008 to 18/12/2009. Moon is placed in the lagna and is placed well from the Mahadasa lord Saturn. Hence, electoral prospects for her are good. She will win more seats during this election as compared to the last election. However, she is having the transit of Saturn from the 8th house from Lagna and Moon; hence health issues can be there. She is advised to choose her ally carefully. It is likely that her allies may desert her. She will play a very important role in the formation of the next government in India.

Rahu and Film Industry: Astro Analysis
Rahu and Film Industry: Astro Analysis
“Ardhkayam Mahavirya Chandraadityavimardnam
Shinghikagarv Sambhutam Tam Rahum Pranmamyham”
- Rahu Mantra
Rahu and Ketu have been considered as Grahas in Vedic astrology. They have no physical identity. They are only mathematically calculated sensitive points having immense influence on the natives of the earth. Commonly Rahu and Ketu are considered Chaya Graha (shadow planets).
Astrological researches suggest that Rahu plays an important role for people who have connections with film industry and glamour world. But, deeper analysis suggests that well placed Rahu under good influence in relation to other Grahas, make film stars achieve iconic status in film line and electronic media.
However, wrong influence of Rahu (i.e., Rahu under malefic influence vis-Ã -vis other Grahas) makes people famous for wrong reasons. Well placed Rahu becomes instrumental in elevating the person to higher level who gets recognized for extraordinary talent. Under wrong influence it also links people to scandals and such persons become famous for negative roles in society, media and film line.
I am giving four examples of film artists - two from Hollywood and two from Bollywood to understand the role of Rahu in their respective successes.
Angelina Jolie: She was born when Gemini lagna was rising in the eastern horizon. Rahu in her horoscope is placed in the 6th house (good placement as per classical astrology) indicating success in glamour industry. The most important thing to be noted is that Jupiter aspects Rahu giving it mildness and direction to do good.
Madonna: She was born when Leo was rising in the eastern horizon. In her case Rahu is placed in 3rd house (good placement of Rahu) in the horoscope. This gave her an iconic status in film industry. However, Rahu is afflicting Jupiter and is bereft of any other benefic influence. This was the reason why the personal life of Madonna was full of controversies.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: She was born when Virgo was rising in the eastern horizon. In her horoscope Rahu and Venus are conjunct together in the 4th house. This combination gave her success in film industry as well as bestowed on her an iconic status in film and glamour world. However, Rahu and Moon combination caused failures in love life creating controversies in her personal life.
Rekha: She was born when Sagittarius was rising in the eastern horizon. In the horoscope both Mars and Rahu are placed in the lagna giving her success in glamour and film world. However, the marital life of the native was adversely affected because of this combination. There were personal tragedies in family life because Rahu is bereft of benefic influence.
Though, Rahu helps the native in rising in the world of glamour and films, for happiness in marital life, Rahu can be a serious handicap. Rahu gives independence and glamour, but for happiness in marital life there should be commitment and continuity. This is the reason why the married life of film stars and celebrities remains disturbed generally.
The role of Rahu is very important for success in film and glamour world. Without the grace of Rahu one cannot dream of getting world-wide recognition. Right now Rahu is transiting in Capricorn in conjunction with Jupiter which will help many budding stars achieve celebrity status in the year 2009.

Anatomy of India’s wars with Neighbors: Astro Analysis
Anatomy of India’s wars with Neighbors: Astro Analysis
Vedic astrology at times baffles even a non- believer about the accuracy and depth of analysis reflected from a genuinely drawn horoscope. Complex issues like wars, deaths, famines, floods etc. seem related to horoscope, graha dasa and transits.
Working on the horoscope of Independent India based on the date of Independence of the country i.e., 15th August 1947 at 12:00 AM (midnight), the main parameters of the horoscope are as under.
a) Rahu is placed in the lagna of the horoscope.
b) Mars is placed in the 2nd house.
c) 5 planets are conjunct together in the 3rd house (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Moon)
d) Jupiter is placed in the 6th house.
e) Ketu is placed in the 7th house.
In Vedic astrology 3rd house stands for neighbors, hard-work, courage and co-born. The birth Nakshatra at the time of independence was Pushya. Hence, the first dasa on independent India was that of Saturn. Saturn is combust in the 3rd house by being close to Sun. Sun happens to be the 4th lord of India’s horoscope.
The placement of 4th lord in the 3rd house signified separation of India and Pakistan at the time of birth. Saturn is the planet that generally works for separation in Vedic astrology. The conjunction of Sun and Saturn in the 3rd house indicates that even after separation, the two nations will not live comfortably like good neighbors. Time proved this inherent promise in the horoscope of India to be true.
Rahu in Vedic astrology is called foreigner. The placement of Rahu in the lagna and the placement of lagna lord (Venus) in the 3rd house indicate that India will constantly face troubles from neighbors. The placement of lagna lord in the 3rd house also indicates that India as a nation is aggressive enough to protect its interest.
Indo- Pak war I took place immediately after partition and ended on 31st December 1948. This was the period when Pakistan Occupied Kashmir was born. The dasa running was of Saturn / Saturn from 15/08/1947 to 15/09/1949. Saturn being in 3rd house is in conflict with Sun. Sun happens to be the 4th lord in India’s horoscope and the 4th house relates to land and territory. Hence the reason for war was Kashmir. It became flesh in the thorn for both the neighbors.
India- China war from 20th October 1962 to 20th November 1962 is commonly referred to as Sino- Indian boundary dispute by other countries. This war was also for land and territory. The dasa running was Saturn / Rahu from 24/04/1960 to 02/03/1963. Here, we see that Rahu in lagna is playing foul; China waged war with India in the era of Hindi-Chini- Bhai- Bhai. The war was a rude shock for the country and Pandit Nehru died on account of this.
Indo- Pak war II from 5th August 1965 to 22nd September 1965 was perpetrated by Pakistan, which was armed to the teeth and was waiting for the right time to strike. The aftermath of Sino- Indian war was carefully selected. The dasa running was Saturn / Jupiter from 02/03/1963 to 12/09/1965. This was the 2nd armed aggression by Pakistan for the same cause- Kashmir. The period was the last antardasa in the Mahadasa of Saturn. Jupiter, the antardasa lord was placed in the 6th house (house of enemies).
Indo- Pak war III from 03/12/1971 to 16/12/1971 was related to the birth of Bangladesh. The dasa running was Mercury / Sun from 06/12/1971 to 12/10/1972. This was the first war when India showed its valor and took offensive position on account of increasing influx of refugees coming from the then East Pakistan. This war exhibited the determination of the country for the first time. Sun being the antardasa lord was determined to leave its foot print in the area.
Period of emergency lasted from 25th June 1975 to 21st March 1977. The dasa running was Mercury / Rahu from 09/03/1975 to 27/09/1977. Though, this was not a period of war, the country was slipping into disorder because Late Indira Gandhi as prime minister was challenged by J.P. movement. Rahu in the lagna played a major role in this affair.
Indo- Pak war IV (Kargil war) was not a full- fledged war. It lasted from May 1999 to July 1999. The dasa running was Venus / Rahu from 12/11/1996 to 12/11/1999. Rahu antardasa again caused war related problems in India. There was conflict in Kargil between Indian and Pakistani forces which remained confined in a short area.
Hence, we find that whenever Saturn and Rahu dasa was running on the country, India was attacked by neighbors and India had to defend itself from the attack. When Sun antardasa was running India became offensive to liberate Bangladesh from Pakistan because turmoil in East Pakistan was bad news for India.
The Mahadasa of Sun is going to start on India from 12th September 2009 for 6 years. Does it signify that India will tackle issues with Pakistan and the terrorist organizations by the use of military power? There is strong possibility.

Venus and Organized Militancy: Astro Analysis
Venus and Organized Militancy: Astro Analysis
“Him Kundmrinalabham Daityanam Paramam Gurum
Sharvshastrapravaktaram Bhargavam Pranamamyaham”
- Shukra Mantra
Vedic Astrology recognizes two important Gurus in the world.
Jupiter (Guru):
Jupiter is the Guru of Devtas. His father is Maharishi Angira. Maharishi's wife got the knowledge and procedures of performing the vrata from Sanat Kumars for having a son. She performed the vrata with complete devotion and the Gods were satisfied and a son was born in their house. The son was the lord of wisdom, Jupiter.
Venus (Shukracharya):
Shukracharya is the son of Sage Bhrigu. He is the preceptor of the demons. Shukra was the only one considered worthy of being granted the knowledge of Mrit - Sanjivani vidya by Lord Shiva. This knowledge is supposed to bring back even the dead to life.
Unlike Jupiter, Venus had a tougher role to play because his followers (the demons) had no means of understanding God and their own goodness. Thus, they were not qualified to achieve salvation on their own after death. Hence, Shukracharya had to plan Mukti (salvation) for his disciples. He selected a simple modus-operandi. He undertook the task of guiding his followers to fight against God and get Mukti (salvation) in the process because even if they get killed in the fight, the killer will be God himself.
Shukracharya is the most knowledgeable Guru. He is aware of the deficiencies of his followers and knows how to use these deficiencies for the advantage of demons. Instead of running away from the issues or disowning his followers because of their limited knowledge and quality, he undertook to help his devotees get God’s grace by encouraging them for tapasya (Penance) and getting Vardaan (blessings) from God to become more powerful. It was necessary to fight with Devtas (Demi Gods).
In Hindu Mythology we see that demons like Ravana, Kansh etc got Mukti (salvation) from God himself. However, they got Mukti by instigating war with God (on the advice of Shukracharya).
In 2009 the King of the year is Venus. The ruler will be Shukracharya who will push his disciples towards the path of salvation. We can expect many terrorist attacks in the name of God or holy wars. In Vedic astrology Venus is friendly to Saturn, Rahu and Mercury. Venus is going to extend help to Rahu and Saturn and support rebellion.
Venus is right now exalted (placed in the sign of Jupiter) and Jupiter is right now debilitated (placed in Capricorn). Organized militancy may get a fillip during the reign of Venus in 2009. However, since Shukracharya is a Guru, the common man should remain safe.
In the year 2009, worship of Shukracharya, Shani Dev and recitation of Narayan Kavach will work as a protective shield as per the prescribed principles of Vedic astrology.

Shukracharya is the most knowledgeable Guru. He is aware of the deficiencies of his followers and knows how to use these deficiencies for the advantage of demons. Instead of running away from the issues or disowning his followers because of their limited knowledge and quality, he undertook to help his devotees get God’s grace by encouraging them for tapasya (Penance) and getting Vardaan (blessings) from God to become more powerful. It was necessary to fight with Devtas (Demi Gods).
In Hindu Mythology we see that demons like Ravana, Kansh etc got Mukti (salvation) from God himself. However, they got Mukti by instigating war with God (on the advice of Shukracharya).
In 2009 the King of the year is Venus. The ruler will be Shukracharya who will push his disciples towards the path of salvation. We can expect many terrorist attacks in the name of God or holy wars. In Vedic astrology Venus is friendly to Saturn, Rahu and Mercury. Venus is going to extend help to Rahu and Saturn and support rebellion.
Venus is right now exalted (placed in the sign of Jupiter) and Jupiter is right now debilitated (placed in Capricorn). Organized militancy may get a fillip during the reign of Venus in 2009. However, since Shukracharya is a Guru, the common man should remain safe.
In the year 2009, worship of Shukracharya, Shani Dev and recitation of Narayan Kavach will work as a protective shield as per the prescribed principles of Vedic astrology.

Venus & Economic Boom in India: Astro Analysis
Venus & Economic Boom in India: Astro Analysis
“Him Kundmrinalabham Daityanam Paramam Gurum
Sharvshastrapravaktaram Bhargavam Pranamamyaham”
- Shukra Mantra
Venus in Vedic astrology is considered to be like Maa Lakshmi also. The Mahadasa of Venus bestows on people prosperity, happiness and growth.
India got its independence on 15th August 1947 at 12:00 AM in Delhi. Taurus was the lagna at the time of birth. In Vedic astrology Venus is the lord of Taurus rashi. At the time of birth of Independent India, the most important planet for India was Venus.
Venus as the Lagna lord of India’s horoscope is placed in the 3rd house. 3rd house in predictive astrology signifies Media, Information Technology, Communication, Missile Technology etc.
Venus signifies communication, conveyance, aircrafts, fashion, beauty, tourism etc. Hence, India’s horoscope had an inherent promise that India will grow tremendously in these spheres. Only the right time was required for this growth. Dasa unfolds the inherent promise of the horoscope. Hence, dasa of Venus was awaited to give a push to India’s growth on these lines.
Venus Mahadasa started on India from 12th September 1989 and would continue till 12th September 2009. In predictive astrology the dasa of Lagna lord is the most significant period in the life of an Individual or a Nation.
We can count the achievements of India’s growth from 1989 onwards as follows:-
1) Boom in Information Technology intensified after 1990 and saw the rise of many world level Indian companies like Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Satyam etc. The growth in this sector is linked with both third house and Venus.
2) Boom in airlines industry saw the rise of many private players like Jet Airways, Kingfisher Airlines, Deccan Aviation etc.
3) Boom in Fashion Industry and beauty pageant also started after 1989. Indian fashion and models got international recognition. Many beauties from India were elected as Miss Universes and Miss Worlds. This is because of the grace of Venus as the Mahadasa lord.
4) Communication sector got the biggest fillip in the Mahadasa of Venus. Many telecom giants emerged in India during the last 2 decades changing the concept of telecommunication. Even a common man uses mobile these days.
5) Missile Technology and Satellite launching technology has been perfected during the last two decades. India became the fifth country in the world to put a satellite in the orbit of the Moon for sending information about Moon’s surface. India has been able to develop missiles like Agni, Prithvi, Dhanush etc for its self defense.
6) India has developed as an important tourist destination. The Hotel industry in the country has grown up to an international level. Venus signifies both tourism and hotel industry.
7) Media power has become more dominant, with respect to both print and Television. The strong 3rd house in India’s horoscope gives India an Independent and strong media presence.
8) Diamond is the stone of Venus. In the Mahadasa of Venus from September 1989 onwards diamond industry grew to a very high level. The gems and jewellery companies outperformed in this period and this industry became the biggest foreign exchange earner for the nation for a few years. This industry is in difficulty now as Venus is slowly fading as the Mahadasa will end soon.
As the Venus Mahadasa ends on 12th September 2009, the Mahadasa of Sun will start in the horoscope of India from 12th September 2009. It will continue for 6 years i.e. till 12th September 2015. This period can bring new sectors in limelight like Power, Nuclear Technology, Education, Yoga and Meditation, Spiritualism and Astrology, Gold, Ruby and Ornament business. Sun being the most dominant force for the coming 6 years, there will be strong attraction for Government jobs. Young people may also be attracted towards politics.

Transit of Saturn and Bollywood during Recession
Transit of Saturn and Bollywood during Recession
“NeelanjanSamabhasham Raviputram Yamagrajam
ChayaMartandSambhutam Tam Namami Saneshcharam”
(Shani Mantra)
Saturn is the most mystic planet in our solar system. I say mystic because Saturn has unique look. It is the only planet which has rings around it. It has largest number of natural satellites revolving around it.
Astrologically, good influence of Saturn makes a person unique. It gives luster to an individual (gives charismatic personality like ringed Saturn) and mass following (similar to largest number of satellites which revolve around it).
For success, name and popularity of an individual, Saturn has an important role to play. For public support, popularity and the like Saturn has to be strong in the horoscope may it be the horoscope of politicians, actors, singers or the like. Without Saturn’s help the person even though talented, will not be noticed by masses and he may not become a celebrity and will remain in oblivion.
I am giving two examples of film artists - one from Hollywood and one from Bollywood to understand the role of Saturn in their success.
Angelina Jolie: She was born when Gemini lagna was rising in the eastern horizon. Saturn happens to be placed in lagna in her horoscope. Venus is placed in the 2nd house; Moon is under the influence of benefic Jupiter. The role of Saturn in the horoscope is clear being a benefic lord (9th lord) placed in the lagna bestowing on her charismatic looks and fan following which she commands till now.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: She was born when Virgo was rising in the eastern horizon. In her case Saturn had most important role to play. Being the benefic 5th lord Saturn is placed in the 10th house (karma sthan). Saturn is aspecting the natal Moon (placed in Sagittarius rashi) bestowing charismatic looks and personality to the individual. The “karakamsha lagna” for her is Virgo and Saturn is placed in the 10th house from Virgo (i.e., in Gemini). This, as per “Jaimini” astrology is the yoga for “apaar prashidhi” (mass following). Hence, it is Saturn which made her a celebrity.
I have worked on the horoscopes of many celebrities including actors, politicians and the like. The common thing in all the horoscopes is well placed or yogakaraka Saturn which made persons popular and bestowed charismatic personality on them.
Now, coming to the discussion of Saturn’s transit in Leo, I have discussed in my earlier article that Saturn’s transit in Leo rashi was the major cause of economic slowdown. Bollywood might be among the worst sufferers of this economic slowdown. Profitability in film making will go down. Producers may incur losses. Stars may have to reduce their professional fees in order to be competitive. Bigger the name the biggest will be their losses. Hence, the year will see new stars challenging the older stars and giving them run for their money.
Since, Saturn sets a new trend, the type and quality of films may also change during the recession and after it. Films associated with high moral values will bounce back in production lines.

Retrograde Saturn and Divine Justice: Astro Analysis
Retrograde Saturn and Divine Justice: Astro Analysis
Vedic astrology recognizes 3 types of planetary movements:-
Sama (Normal): In this movement planets move at natural pace. Normally, in mundane astrology this transit signifies all around normalcy and happiness. This is the period when there is quiet development in the economy.
Atichari (Fast): In this movement planets move at relatively faster pace (as if planets are in a hurry of delivering something).This period can trigger boom, or fast growth of economy. However, this is also the period when people start getting over confident.
Vakri (Retrograde): In this movement the planets move backwards (apparently, when viewed from earth). This is the period when deeds done in the past are brought to light. This is the period when the planet is in the mood to review past deeds. The Saturn became retrograde from 1st January 2009 and will remain in retrogression till 17th May 2009.
Retrograde planets have been the subject of research for astrologers over many years. It is the experience of many researchers that during the dasa of retrograde planet, a person can have remembrance of his past life or past deeds.
In mundane astrology, it is believed that retrograde planets have a major role to play in administration of justice. They give us a chance to review our policies. For example, just a few months back, everyone was seeing only the rosy side of privatization. However, the fallout of events after failure of many companies and banks world-wide has put a question mark on the policy of privatization. The belief of people in government banks has increased after seeing the plight of private banks particularly in USA where many banks have gone belly-up.
In my earlier articles I have been emphasizing the role of Saturn in various aspects of human life. The reason for so much emphasis on Saturn is because Saturn is the slowest moving planet among the Navgrahas (which Hindus follow in Vedic Astrology). Being the slowest moving planet it has been assigned the role of Kaal (time). Hence, it is always the transit of Saturn that sets a trend and is instrumental in administration of justice.
Saturn is transiting from its enemy’s sign Leo right now causing problems to people well placed in public, business and film lines. To make the matter worse, Saturn is retrograde right now. Hence, the wrong doings of the past are getting exposed.
This is the period when books of various companies have been opened for scrutiny. The beauty of the thing is that investigating agencies have not raised fingers against them. This is happening spontaneously. The clandestine activities in neighboring counties are coming to light. The mutiny in Bangladesh Rifles and mass murder of officers under alleged instigations has also come to light. Investigations going for long on scams in the country are getting exposed. High placed individuals are being brought to justice.
It seems that Saturn in retrograde state is keen to bring, high placed individuals who have exploited their position for all types of wrong doings, to justice. Therefore, Saturn is working as a divine weapon right now because it is transiting in Leo represented by Sun which is the symbol of power. Hence, people placed in power are subject to divine scrutiny.

Being the slowest moving planet it has been assigned the role of Kaal (time). Hence, it is always the transit of Saturn that sets a trend and is instrumental in administration of justice.
Saturn is transiting from its enemy’s sign Leo right now causing problems to people well placed in public, business and film lines. To make the matter worse, Saturn is retrograde right now. Hence, the wrong doings of the past are getting exposed.
This is the period when books of various companies have been opened for scrutiny. The beauty of the thing is that investigating agencies have not raised fingers against them. This is happening spontaneously. The clandestine activities in neighboring counties are coming to light. The mutiny in Bangladesh Rifles and mass murder of officers under alleged instigations has also come to light. Investigations going for long on scams in the country are getting exposed. High placed individuals are being brought to justice.
It seems that Saturn in retrograde state is keen to bring, high placed individuals who have exploited their position for all types of wrong doings, to justice. Therefore, Saturn is working as a divine weapon right now because it is transiting in Leo represented by Sun which is the symbol of power. Hence, people placed in power are subject to divine scrutiny.

Slumdog Millionaire Vs Bollywood: Astro Analysis
Slumdog Millionaire Vs Bollywood: Astro Analysis
In my last article “Transit of Saturn and Bollywood during Recession”, the coming times for Bollywood were discussed. It was plainly stated that Saturn will help the underdogs of the industry who are fighting to survive and who have not been able to win against the established players of the industry. It was also mentioned that a new team of upcoming stars will challenge the established players. The established stars will have to live with fee cuts and reduced offerings.
Here the relevant quote to which I would like to draw attention is “new stars challenging the older stars and giving them run for their money”. The turn of events after Slumdog Millionaire won 8 oscars (8 is very significant because in numerology it is also the number of Saturn) has been on the predicted lines. The lead actress “Frieda Pinto” has got an offer of a whooping 2 to 3 million dollars for her next Hollywood film (as per media reports), a feat which no female lead in India was able to achieve earlier. Though, bollywood actresses have tried their luck in Hollywood, they have only got small and marginal roles in not so popular productions. Hence, we do see youngsters and underdogs giving tough times to even Miss Worlds and Miss Universes.
The second important prediction was “films associated with high moral values will bounce back on production lines”. Saturn, in Vedic astrology stands for the common man. Slumdog Millionaire is a story of struggle of slum dwellers for whom a lowly title “slumdog” was chosen. They lived against all odds including police excesses, human trafficking, gangsters, riots etc and suffered every type of abuse. The story deals with common man with which Saturn is associated. Bollywood produces thousands of films in a year, but they rarely formulate a masterpiece like Slumdog Millionaire. Bollywood films are far away from reality. The production line and commercial film makers never touch the subject of ignorance, poverty and other problems concerning the country. However, Slumdog Millionaire being a commercial success in the world will force producers and directors of Bollywood to make better quality films to earn more.
It is not clear what Aishwarya Rai Bachchan got for her role in “Pink Panther” but it is clear from media reports that “Frieda Pinto” will make 2 to 3 million dollars for her upcoming “Woody Allen” film. The rupees 10 crore to rupees 15 crore bracket remained unachievable by the other lead actresses of India. This shows the powerful effect of Saturn on the underdogs of the film industry.
The Bollywood, is going to change in many ways. There will be adjustments and reductions in the fees of artists. There will be change in the theme of films and the total number of films produced in a single year will also decline.

Retrograde Saturn and Divine Justice: Astro Analysis
Retrograde Saturn and Divine Justice: Astro Analysis
Vedic astrology recognizes 3 types of planetary movements:-
Sama (Normal): In this movement planets move at natural pace. Normally, in mundane astrology this transit signifies all around normalcy and happiness. This is the period when there is quiet development in the economy.
Atichari (Fast): In this movement planets move at relatively faster pace (as if planets are in a hurry of delivering something).This period can trigger boom, or fast growth of economy. However, this is also the period when people start getting over confident.
Vakri (Retrograde): In this movement the planets move backwards (apparently, when viewed from earth). This is the period when deeds done in the past are brought to light. This is the period when the planet is in the mood to review past deeds. The Saturn became retrograde from 1st January 2009 and will remain in retrogression till 17th May 2009.
Retrograde planets have been the subject of research for astrologers over many years. It is the experience of many researchers that during the dasa of retrograde planet, a person can have remembrance of his past life or past deeds.
In mundane astrology, it is believed that retrograde planets have a major role to play in administration of justice. They give us a chance to review our policies. For example, just a few months back, everyone was seeing only the rosy side of privatization. However, the fallout of events after failure of many companies and banks world-wide has put a question mark on the policy of privatization. The belief of people in government banks has increased after seeing the plight of private banks particularly in USA where many banks have gone belly-up.
