I have been writing this since last 12 months that year 2016 is going to be a very bad one for the ruling BJP . The BJP had this enigmatic Jupiter-Rahu and Mercury-Ketu conjunction in their chart. These two are classical combinations for igniting controversies and giving humiliation if there is some influence of natural malefic planets is on them. At present these two combinations are active in their Rashi chart of BJP. The party has received two set-backs  from the Supreme Court on the issue of unconstitutional dismissal of governments in Uttarakhand and Arunachal states. The party is also facing wrath of Dalit movements in Gujarat, Maharashatra and U.P. in the month of July this year. {Reference: http://thewire.in/53367/rising-dalit-anger-puts-bjp-back-foot/}

The recent uprising of Dalit community across various states is a big blow to the BJP’s policy to woo the Dalit voters for the  coming U.P. assembly polls. The excessive prominence given by the BJP to its cow protection campaign for consolidating Hindu votes  is now back-firing at them. This campaign was launched to target Muslim community ignoring the fact that a section of Dalit’s is also engaged in the work of skinning dead cattle’s for their livelihood since centuries. It is the effect of enigmatic Jupiter-Rahu conjunction in the chart of BJP that their political wisdom seems to have been paralyzed these days.

The Jupiter-Rahu conjunction is well know as the ‘Chandal-Yoga’. The BJP has just completed the 36th year of its formation on the 6th of April. It is a well know principal of Bhrigu or Nadi that the period from 35th of 37th year is very sensitive for the native as during this time both Jupiter and Rahu in transit reach at their respective natal position in the birth chart. The Jupiter complete its 3 cycles of 12 years each. And Rahu complete its 2 cycles of 18 years each by the time when a native or organization reach at its 36th year of formation. I had discuss this astrological point in some of my articles written for Times of Astrology, Modern Astrology, Amar Ujala website etc.

Take few examples about how the 36th year become very crucial in case of organizations or nations.

1. In 1983 India, which got her independence on 15 August 1947, had completed 36th year of her freedom. In year 1984 when Rahu was in Taurus at its natal position in the chart of Indian independence two tragic events shock the whole nation. The operation Blue Star and death of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi created unimaginable religious frenzy during that year.
2. The Congress I , formed on 2 January 1978, had completed its 36th year in 2014. The party was completely routed in the general elections of 2014 and some other assembly polls during that period. It is still struggling to recover from this setback. The Jupiter was in Gemini on its natal position in the chart of Congress Part.
3. The Art of Living founded in 1981 by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar had just completed its 36th year. The organization is struggling with a pending case against them by some environmentalist in the National Green Tribunal. The Art of Living is facing the risk of being penalized in million of rupees for causing damage to the environment during their world cultural festival at the bank of Yamuna river. As per Bhrigu system the next one year will be very difficult for the Art of Living and its founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji, born on 13 May 1956,  has this enigmatic Mercury-Ketu conjunction in the 5th house of their Rashi chart. The Mercury and Ketu are in mutual aspect with malefic Saturn which is place in the 11th house with Rahu. He is under Mercury-Saturn dasha till March 2017 which is showing a time for controversies and losses.

Now see this horoscope of BJP to understand why this party is having a tough time these days.

Horoscope of Bharitiya Janata Party (BJP) 

6 April 1980, 11:45 hours at Delhi 

Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Mercury 4 Years 11 Months 

In the Mithuna (Gemini) lagna chart of BJP notice the enigmatic conjunctions of Jupiter-Rahu and Mercury-Ketu. These planets are covering the 3/9 axis and under the influences of hard malefic planets Mars and Saturn.

The dashas of Mercury and Ketu had been bad for them earlier. In the dasha of Mercury the party had suffer a humiliating defeat in the general elections of 1984 when they could manage to get only 2 seats. In Ketu dasha (April 1985 to April 1992) the party drifted towards ‘Ram-Janmabhumi’ (Ram Temple) agenda and several of its leader went to face court cases for disturbing communal harmony.

Now when the party is under Sun-Mercury ( 23 January 2016 to 28 November 2016) dasha in Vimshottari. The Sun is in Mrityubhagh. The Sun is also in inimical Navamsha of Makar. The Mercury is with Ketu which is a combination of controversies and humiliation. In transit the Jupiter and Rahu are at their natal positions in Leo during the 37th year in progress of this party. The Saturn and Mars are transiting over the natal Moon which is showing a big danger for the party.

In the months of August or September the party may have to face a very tragic event. Astrologically there seems to be a serious threat for the security of the big leaders of this party during August-September months. The solar eclipse of 1st September falling at Leo would be bad for this party. Several of its leaders might caught in some scandals.

Now see the horoscope of Prime Minister Modi and party president Amit Shah to understand this situation more deeply.

Birth Chart of Narendra Modi 

17 September 1950 at 12:09 hours at Mehasana , Gujarat 

Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Saturn 10 Year 2 Months 23 Days 

In the Vargottama Vrischik (Scorpio) lagan horoscope of Narendra Modi there are great Rajayoga’s in both Rashi and Navamsha chart. However, the conjunction of Mercury and Ketu is also a combination of falling into controversies. The Mercury is also retrograde and is in combustion here. In Navamsha the Mercury is under the influence of malefic planets.

In Mercury-Moon period in Vimshottari the Narendra Modi got married with Jashodaben in year 1968. However, within few days of this marriage he left his home and become a monk wandering in Himalayas. In Bhava Chailt, which is not given here,  there is a partial Sanyasa yoga with four planets Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn coming into Leo sign. Since Mercury and Saturn are into combustion so he didn’t remain a Sanyasai (monk) for long time and went back to materialism.

The Mercury ( 1960 to 1977) and Ketu ( 1977 to 1984) dashas per the period of struggle in his life. He become the chief minister of Gujarat state in year 2002 during Venus-Mercury period in Vimshottari. However, soon the Gujarat riots in 2002 put a stain at his political career and he had to face a humiliating media trial due to this. It was happen during the sub period of Mercury and major period of Venus.

Later he overcome all these troubles and become the prime minister of India after winning general elections 2014 with full majority in 2014 (Moon-Jupiter period). Presently he is under a difficult Moon-Saturn period in Vimshottari which will continue till 12 October 2016.

The transiting Saturn and Mars are also hovering over his natal Moon in Scorpio. He is expected to face lots of troubles due to the bad conduct of his subordinates as the it is the sub period of 3rd lord Saturn in his chart in the major period of debilitated Moon. These tensions will continue in the Moon-Mercury period though there would be some good achievements in year 2017.

Now see the horoscope of BJP president Amit Shah.

Horoscope of Amit Shah

22 October 1964 , 05:25 hours at Mumbai 

Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: 16 Years 2 Days 

In the Kanya (Virgo) lagna horoscope of Amit Shah there are some very good Dhana yoga’s. The mutual aspect between the 2nd and 9th lord Venus and the 5th lord Saturn is a good Dhana yoga. The lagan lord Mercury in the 2nd house receiving the aspect of 11th lord Moon is a Dhana yoga. He was born in a rich Jain business family.

Now notice there the exchange between 8th lord Mars and 11th lord Moon. This combination gives money and power with illegal means. During the dasha of Moon ( 1986 to 1996) and Mars ( 1996 to 2003) he was working for the BJP along side Narendra Modi. He was the MLA in Gujarat assembly for four consecutive terms during 1997 to 2007. He also hold many important positions in the government of Narendra Modi then chief minister of Gujarat state.

However, his political career was very controversial. In 2010 when he was under Rahu-Saturn period in Vimshottari he was send to jail by a lower court in Gujarat in fake encounter case of Sohrabuddin.

His luck saw a great turn around during Rahu-Mercury period in Vimshottari in 2013-14 when BJP won elections with the help of his smart political strategies. The dasha lords Rahu and Mercury are mutually very well placed in both Rashi and Navamsha chart. But later when the transiting Saturn moved into Scorpio, which is the 8th house from his natal Moon in Aries, then he had to suffer his first electoral defeat during Delhi assembly polls in early 2015. Then came the Bihar elections where for the second time in a row he had to taste the better defeat.

Now Amit Shah is under an enigmatic Rahu-Venus-Rahu period from 27 June 2016 to 9 December 2016. In the month of August the transiting Saturn and Mars would join each other at around 15 degrees in Scorpio. These two hard malefic planets would then be in the 8th house from the natal Moon of Amit Shah at exact degrees. Notice the longitude of Moon in the chart of Amit Shah it is in Aries (Mesha) at 15 degrees and 57 minutes.

This conjunction of Saturn and Mars in the 8th house of Amith Shah is a dangerous one for his health and security. He will also have to face lots of humiliation due to some scandal by some of his colleagues in the party. The ruling BJP government will also get trouble from the war like situation with Pakistan and China during the coming months of August and September.
