Many a times youngsters fail to understand this reality that their parents simply wants to see them happy, they don’t wish for them to lose their pleasures of life at the cost of being successful in materialist world. The unrealistic view of worldly life and lack of proper emotional bounding with the family has been found to be the cause of psychological disturbances in youngsters. In Hindu astrology the position of Moon and its sign lord in the horoscope indicate about the mental make-up of a person. The condition of Mercury is seen for intellectual growth and Jupiter’s placement in a chart indicate state of wisdom. In the horoscope of late Sushant Singh Rajput, Moon and its sign lord are under severe affliction. The Scorpio lagna birth chart of Sushant Singh Rajput has the combinations of ‘Alpayu’ which gives longevity less than 37 years to the natives if they come under ‘Maraka’ dasha periods.
The whole nation was shocked by the suicide death of this highly talented and smart young actor on the 14th of June this year just a week before the solar eclipse. The Indian film industry and its fan are still not recovered from this huge emotional setback. I got the birth details of Sushant Singh Rajput from a senior astrologer in Gujarat. His horoscope is being discuss here for an academic interest of the students of astrology.
Horoscope of Sushant Singh Rajput

Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Sun 0 years 7 months 19 days
In the Scorpio (Vrischik) lagna chart of Sushant Singh Rajput Moon is in Taurus in the 7th house under the aspects of Saturn and Mars both hard malefic planets. Moon sign lord is Venus which is combust by Sun, also receiving the aspects of both Saturn and Mars. It is a cardinal principal of Hindu astrology that any house or planet get the join aspects of both Mars and Saturn tend to give loss in its significations to a major extent. Here both Moon and its sign lords were under join affliction from Mars and Saturn.
The lagna lord Mars falling in the 12th house was also undesirable. Lagna and Moon are both in fixed sign. Hora Lagna is Aquarius which is also a fixed sign so lagan and hora lagna also having fixed signs gave him ‘Alpayu’ as per Jaimini method of calculating longevity. The aspect of Jupiter on the Moon was not helpful as Jupiter it self is debliteated and under affliction from the aspect of Mars which is 6th lord.
Kemadruma Moon in the 7th house a big weakness in matter of relationships
A noticeable point in the horoscope of Sushant Singh Rajput is Kemadrum Moon in the 7th house of relationships and love life.

Sushant Singh Rajput allegedly committed suicide on the morning of 14th of June when he was under Vimshottari dasha of Rahu-Moon-Venus (24 April 2020 to 26 July 2020 ) period. Rahu is in the 6th house under the aspect of lagna and 6th lord Mars from the 12th house showing troubles due to some professional rivalries as 6th house signifies enemies.

In Sushant Singh Rajput’s chart benefic planets in the 2nd and 3rd house from Janma lagna is a good yoga for having an artistic talent from the young age. The 2nd house has Mercury and 3rd house has two benefic planets Jupiter and Venus. Karakamsha lagna is Sagittarius having Mercury in it made him an intelligent artist. The 10th lord Sun is in the 3rd house of hobbies and artistic talent. Sun is in conjunction with 5th lord Jupiter and 7th lord Venus in a very good Raja Yoga. In Navamsha lagan lord Sun is conjoined with 10th lord Venus and is in mutual aspect with 5th lord Jupiter is another Raja Yoga. In Dashamsha the 2nd and 3rd house are again under the influence of benefic planets which shows career in artistic area.
The lagna lord in Rashi, Navamsha and Dreshkkan has gone into the sign of benefic planets i.e. in benefic Varga’s so it gave him a very pleasing personality. His charismatic smile made him very popular among audience specially women folks. The TV serial Pavitra Rishta from 2009 to 2014 made him a household name in Hindi heartland of country. He also entered into a relationship with his co-star Ankita Lokhande in 2010 and the relationship ended in 2016 mutually.

Leo and the 10th house from it get the aspects of Darakaraka Sun, Ganatikaraka Venus and Amatayakaraka Jupiter. An important point to note here is that the close conjunction of Darakaraka Sun with Ganatikaraka Venus. The conjunction of Darakaraka and Ganatikaraka bring troubles in relationship matters.
Debut in Film Industry
In year 2013 Sushant made him impressive debut with movie ‘Kai Po Che’ and later his second movie was ‘Shuddh Desi Romance’ directed by Yash Raj films. It was Rahu-Mercury in Vimshottari which gave him an impressive start in film industry at the age of just 27. In year 2016 he got fame for his brilliance performance in bio-pic of Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni. It was Rahu-Venus in Vimshottari when he become a famous cine star.
Ashtam Shani Gochar of Sushant Singh Rajput
When Sushant Singh Rajput was about to become a big star then came enigmatic ‘Ashtam Shani’ gochar in his horoscope in year 2017. Saturn transiting from Sagittarius in the 8th house from his natal Moon has to bring in some big hurdles. His movies started performing average only and he wasn’t getting much limelight in the media. Then Rahu-Moon dasha started in February 2019 and Ketu also entered into Sagittarius joining Saturn there. This was the time when he started struggling in his career as his movie ‘Drive’ had to be released on Netflix as it didn’t brought by distributors or it is allegedly said that producer Karan Johar himself deliberately didn’t market it properly to destroy the career of this talented young man. This is when he went into the phase of depression and went into seclusion. A ‘Kemadruma Moon’ at the time of ‘Sadhe-Sati’ or ‘Ashtam-Shani’ gochar can give serious depression to a native if they are under bad dasha periods.
{ Read Rahu in the 2nd house from Ketu in Trimshamsha chart }
In Trimshamsha chart Rahu is in the 2nd house a ‘Maraka’ place and there is no benefic aspect on it. The 7th lord Mars and 8th lord Jupiter giving aspect to the lagna of Trimshamsha are creating worst situation for physical and mental well being. The post-mortem report of actor revealed that cause of his death was asphyxia due to hanging. In Hindu astrology malefic planets across 6/12 axis signifies death by hanging or suffocation. In birth chart , Navamsha and Trimshamsha there are malefic planets across the 6/12 axis.
In Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra’s ‘Maraka Bhed Adhayaa’ chapter number 45 Sage Parashara has given important combinations for indicating cause of death. The 3rd house is seen mainly in most of the yogas for determining the cause of death. The 3rd house being the 8th from the 8th house of longevity has very important role in deciding the possible manner in which a native may leave this mortal world. In Sushant Singh Rajput’s birth chart the 3rd house is getting the aspects of Mars and Saturn two hard malefic which shows an unnatural death. In Jaimini Sutram’s Chapter III Pada 3 the yoga’s for determining the cause of death has the role of 3rd house from lagna Pada and 7th Pada.
As per Maharishi Jaimini when the third houses from the lagna and Dara Padas are afflicted by malefic planet, then the death is unnatural. In case of Sushant Singh Rajput if we calculate Padas which out taking exception method then lagna Pada falls in Virgo and Dara Pada also comes into Virgo. The 3rd house from Virgo has Saturn which get the Jaimini aspects of Rahu, Sun, Jupiter and Venus.
