After winning a historic election, Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee took oath as the Chief Minister for the third time in a simple ceremony at Raj Bhavan in Kolkata at 11:49 am on Wednesday morning on the 5th of May 2021. After this major victory against the BJP now many political pundits are speculating the possibility of Mamata Banejree’s new role as the challenger to Narender Modi in the general elections of 2024. I had forecasted about the victory of Mamata Banerjee’s Trinmoola Congress party on the basis of the foundation chart of this party in my article “Planets and West Bengal Assembly Elections 2021” published in the May 2021 issue of ‘The Planets & Forecast’ magazine at page number 20. On this blog the predictions about West Bengal assembly elections were given on much earlier on the 28th of February 2021 in my post ‘Deceptive Horoscope of Mamata Banerjee and West Bengal Assembly Elections in 2021’.
Now let’s analysis the oath taking horoscope of Mamata Banerjee to see the future prospects of her third term in West Bengal.
Chart 1. Oath Taking Horoscope of Mamata Banerjee
In the horoscope formed at the time of taking oath of a politician for a constitutional post, the ascendant house signify the leader’s cabinet and at the same time it also gives astrological indications about the working style of that leader himself. Mamata Banerjee’s swearing-in horoscope has Cancer rising in the ascendant, who’s lord Moon is forming a big Raja Yoga in conjunction with Jupiter in the eighth house, but since it is in a ‘Dusthana’, so it is also an indication of some major emergency like situation for her in running the government and managing political affairs in state. There might be an accidental loss of a cabinet member due to an illness or some untoward incident during her tenure. Very shocking decisions in the working style of Mamata Banerjee will force her to face some criticism in the very beginning of her third tenure as the chief minister. Wednesday is auspicious for taking oath but the date is the ‘Navami’ Tithi of Krishna Paksha, which is inauspicious for the health of the cabinet leaders and incumbent chief minister.
Nakshatra at the time of oath taking is ‘Shatabhisha’ which is good for ‘swearing-in’ ceremonies and yoga is Bramha which is also auspicious.
Fresh Challenges for Mamata Banerjee in 2022-23
Immediately after the results of assembly elections Mamata Banerjee has been engaged in litigations related to post-poll violence in West Bengal and also a case in which her party has challenged the results of ‘Nandigram’ elections win of BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari. On the 7th of July a Calcutta High Court Judge has also fined Rs. 5 Lakhs to Mamata Banerjee for ‘ a pre-planned move to malign a judge’s image and violating his constitutional duties’. {Refer link https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/mamata-banerjee-fined-rs-5-lakh-by-calcutta-high-court-judge-justice-kaushik-chanda-who-exits-case-says-preplanned-move-to-malign-judge-2481052} . The Nandigram loss was the sole disappointment for Mamata Banerjee amid the landslide victory in West Bengal Elections in which her party had won 213 seats out of total 294 seats in the assembly. Noticeable point here in the swearing-in horoscope of Mamata Banerjee is the conjunction of 6th lord (court cases and enemies) and 9th lord (judiciary) Jupiter with lagna lord Moon in the 8th house of controversies and humiliation. In Navamsha Jupiter again become the 6th lord which aspect the 8th house. In Dashamsha of the oath taking chart Jupiter is 6th lord again along with 9th lord Saturn and 12th lord Mercury in the 9th house of judiciary.
Mamata Banerjee is going to get some hard time in fighting these legal battles during 2022-23 when transiting Saturn will be in Aquarius right over her natal Moon in the swearing-in horoscope.
BJP will aggressively try to counter Mamata Banerjee
In the swearing-in horoscopes the 7th house is the house of opposition parties. Here in this case the major opposition party is BJP which will aggressively try to obstruct Mamata Banerjee’s national ambitions. The 7th house has Saturn in its own sign getting the aspect of Mars which shows very tense relations between the opposition and ruling government of Mamata Banerjee in the state assembly. An exalted Sun in the 10th house will give Mamata Banergee a great public image of good administrator and an honest leader. The 11th lord Venus is in own house in conjunction with 3rd and 12th lord Mercury indicate her party getting good support from other likeminded political groups as the 3rd and 11th house in the swearing-in charts shows help from supporting parties or groups.
The 10th lord Mars is in the 12th house getting aspect of 9th lord Jupiter is a good Raja Yoga showing increase in public expenditure in welfare schemes of the government. In the Navamsha and Dashamsha the 10th lord is involved in good Raja Yoga’s. But at the time of Saturn’s transit into Aquarius and Rahu’s movement into Aries there would be some danger of president rule being enforced by the central government in West Bengal or some emergency situation getting developed during the second half of 2022 or in early 2023.
Chart 2. Trinmoola Congress Party (TMC)
1 January 1998, 11:00 hours at Calcutta, West Bengal
Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Moon 2 years 11 months 15 days
In the Pisces lagna horoscope of Trinmoola Congress Party the enigmatic Rahu-Venus dasha is running from July 2019 to July 2022. Rahu is in the 6th house of strife and enemies. Venus as the 8th and 3rd lord is in the 11th house of gains. We all know how the BJP had made efforts to defect many Trinmoola leaders since last two years but many of them failed to perform during the assembly elections recently held. BJP had defected 30 MLA’s from the Trinmoola Congress just before these assembly polls and now many of them are coming back to the Trinmoola party included the senior most leader Mukul Roy. In Navamsha the sub period (Bhukti) lord Venus is exalted and in Dashamsha Venus is strongly placed in the 12th house getting aspect of Jupiter making Trinmoola Party strong now under its remaining dasha.
In Rahu-Sun dasha (5 July 2022 to 30 May 2023) party may face some trouble due to court cases but it will try to expand for a national role. In Rahu-Moon period (30 May 2023 to 28 November 2024) party will do very well in the general elections in 2024 by winning most of the Lok Sabha (Parliament) seats in the state. Moon is the 5th lord in the 11th house of gains along with lagna lord Jupiter and 9th lord Mars is in a good Raja Yoga. Party’s leader Mamata Banerjee will play an important role in the formation of a new government at the centre in 2024. So the oath taking horoscope of Mamata Banerjee and her party Trinmoola Congress horoscopes both are giving very promising indications for a ‘national role’ for Mamata Banerjee at the center in year 2024.
