Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Mercury 2 years 5 months 9 days

Donald Trump had become president of USA by defeating Democratic Party’s Hilary Clinton in a tight contest in November 2016. I had made a predictions about Donald Trump becoming the US President which was published in Modern Astrology in early 2016 and also on my blog post ” US Presidential Elections 2016: the verdict of planets”.  At that time Trump was passing under Vimshottari dasha of Rahu-Mars (November 2015 to November 2016). Trump was born on the day of a lunar eclipse. In his horoscope lagan lord Sun and Moon are in close conjunction with Rahu and Ketu respectively. But then Sun is in the 10^th house receiving the aspect of 5^th lord Jupiter which is a Raja Yoga. Moon is debliteated in the 4^th house but its sign lord Mars, which is Yoga Karaka planet here, is giving aspect to it thus Moon also get involve in a Raja Yoga. Immediately after his election he got the maha dasha of Jupiter which as the 5^th lord is well placed in the 2^nd house. It was no surprise that economy of USA was achieving a growth rate of around 3% under Trump’s rule and unemplyment rate was lowest at 3.7%.

But then this Jupiter is retrograde and receiving the aspect of Saturn, which is a functional malefic, from the 12^th house of losses. Because of some controversial decisions on immigration policy, trade war with China and coming out of ‘Paris  climate change accord’  he received lots of criticism. See Jupiter which is debliteated in the Dashmasha chart has to give him some humiliation at office. Then on the basis of the Swearing-in horoscope of Donald Trump i had given forecast about the declining status of USA as sole superpower. The isolationist stand of Donald Trump and his ‘America First’ policy has given a long term damage to US foreign policy.

Now he will be fighting for his re-election when Vimshottari dasha of Jupiter-Saturn (January 2019 to July 2021) would be running in his horoscope. Saturn is in the 12^th house of losses in birth chart. It is Vargottama but in Dashamsha it is in the 6^th house of disputes. Saturn’s lordship of 6^th and 7^th house also shows that Trump will get involve USA in some dangerous war in 2020. The 7^th house signifies war. USA may get involve in a war with Iran during 2020 which will badly affect the presidential campaign of Donald Trump.

So despite a tough fight he may lose election. In Chara dasha period of Cancer-Pisces (June 2020 to February 2021)  would be running which is not very supportive. Cancer is the 12^th house from lagna and Pisces is the 8^th house. Cancer get the aspect of Amatayakaraka Moon which shows some tough contest but no sign of victory.

Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Ketu 2 years 10 months 1 days

Joe Biden is senior democratic party leader who served as vice president from 2009 to 2017. He was first elected to US senate in 1972 and then got re-elected for six time before becoming  vice president in 2009. In his Vrischik lagna horoscope there is a very strong Gaja Kesari yoga. Moon is in Aries getting the aspect of its sign lord Mars. Jupiter as the 5^th lord is exalted in the 9^th house of luck. In year 2009 during Jupiter-Saturn dasha in Vimshottari he got elected as the US vice president. Saturn is in the 7^th house of ‘Pada-Prapati’ receiving the aspect of 7^th lord Venus and 10^th lord Sun which is a good Yoga.

Now during Jupiter-Rahu dasha in Vimshottari (April 2020 to September 2022) he would be challenging Donald Trump for US president post. Rahu is in Leo and its depositor Sun is strongly placed in the lagna. Jupiter and Rahu are in 2/12 position which is a little worry but then both are very strong in Navamsha chart. In Dashamsha Rahu is placed in the lagna which is excellent and its depositor Venus is in 11^th house of gains. Jupiter in Dashamsha aspect the 10^th house of power. At the time of US presidential elections he would be under Jupiter-Rahu-Jupiter in Vimshottari which is promising a victory.

A conditional dasha Dwisapatati Sama Dasha is also applicable in Joe Biden’s horoscope. In Dwisapatati Sama Dasha he is under Mars-Mercury (29 August 2019 to 13 October 2020) at present. Mars as the 6th and lagna lord is in the 12th house but it is in mutual aspect with 9th lord Moon so it is a Raja Yoga. Mercury as the 8th lord in the 12th house makes a Veepreet Raja Yoga. Then Mercury is also the 11th house  lord of gains. Later Mars-Jupiter will start from 13 October 2020. So in the final phase of US  Elections Joe Biden will get the most favorable dasha which will help him to impress people in Presidential debates. Jupiter is in excellent Gaja Kesari yoga which is promising to give him top position in his country’s politics.

In Jaimini Chara dasha Joe Biden would be under Sagittarius-Leo period (August 2020 to March 2021) which is very promising. Sagittarius is 2^nd house from Janma lagna and 3^rd from his Atamakaraka Mercury. Leo is 10^th house from Janma lagna and 11^th from his Atamakaraka Mercury. Leo get the Jaimini aspects of Atamakaraka Mercury and Amatayakaraka Mars both which is a Raja Yoga. So Joe Biden’s horoscope is under very promising period which will make him next US president.
