In December last year, a five-judge constitutional bench of the Supreme Court upheld the central government’s decision to remove Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir and also directed the Election Commission to conduct assembly elections in the state by 30th of September 2024. In my blog post written on 27th of April 2022 written with title ‘Horoscope of Jammu & Kashmir Union Territory’ i had forecast that a ‘process of election in Jammu & Kashmir’ will start in year 2023 or 2024 when the transiting Saturn would be in Aquarius which is the 4th house of the horoscope of Jammu & Kashmir. Now, recently, the Election Commission has announced to conduct elections in Jammu and Kashmir state in three phases from 18 September to 1 October, which has intensified political activities in the state. Former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah’s party National Conference have joined hands with Congress in the state and agreed on the division of seats to contest the elections.
Horoscope of Jammu & Kashmir Union territory (written on 27th of April 2022)
The last elections in Jammu and Kashmir were held in November-December 2014 when Mehbooba Mufti’s PDP won the maximum 28 seats and BJP took a very shocking decision and formed a coalition government with PDP, which had a soft stance towards separatism. As anticipated this odd political marriage between BJP and PDP fell apart in June 2018 due to internal contradictions. Horoscope of Jammu and Kashmir state at present time is set for the 31st of October 2019 midnight . This is of Srinagar, the date on which the state was reorganized by the central government after the abrogation of Article 370. The conjunction of Mercury, Venus, Moon and Jupiter in the fifth house in the Cancer Ascendant horoscope of Jammu and Kashmir is an astrological combination for the completion of an election process in a satisfactory manner.

After the abrogation of article 370 from Jammu & Kashmir the state was reorganized into a Union Territory. The state assembly has been under suspension since then and as per the recent decision of the Supreme Court the assembly elections has to be conducted before 30th of September 2024 {Refer link : https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/supreme-court-directs-election-commission-to-conduct-jammu-kashmir-elections-by-september-30-2024/articleshow/105905874.cms }
As per the data of Home Ministry the union territory of Jammu & Kashmir has seen 66% of decline in terrorist attacks and 81 percent drops in civilian killings since the abrogation of the article 370 {Refer link: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/66-per-cent-decline-in-terrorist-incidents-in-j-k-after-removal-of-article-370-amit-shah/articleshow/107149797.cms?from=mdr}
There has also been decline in the organized shut down of markets and stone pelting incident in the last few years. In the Cancer lagna horoscope of Jammu & Kashmir union territory (chart 1) all the 4 natural benefic planets Venus, Mercury and Jupiter are in the 5th house. I have not counted the Moon among the benefic as it is of Shukla Tritiya only. The position of three major benefic planets in the 5th house is good for the policy making for the state and it is also very good for the economy. The ruling BJP government at the center has already initiated many new developments scheme for the Jammu & Kashmir which will benefit its economy in the future.
In the Vimshottari Dasha of Mercury and Anter Dasha of the Sun the assembly elections in the Jammu & Kashmir state will take place. The Mercury as the lord of the 8th and 11th houses is strong. But the Sun being the 2nd lord is debilitated in the 4th house is weak in Shada Bala as it gets only 5.44 Rupas of Bala. The ‘Kashta Phala of the Sun’ is more than its ‘Ishta Phala’ in Shada Bala system so during the Anter Dasha of the Sun from 1st of August 2024 to 7 June 2025 there will be lots of political disturbances in the state of Jammu & Kashmir. In the Navamsha chart the Sun is afflicted by the aspect of Mars also indicate a terrorist attack which may happen in the month of August or early September just a few days before the assembly elections. There are chances for the hung assembly as the Sun the Anter Dasha lord is weak in the 4th house. Many separatist leaders will fight elections from the Kashmir Valley and some of them will get astonishing success also.

Currently, the Vinshottari Dasha of Rahu and Anter Dasha of Mercury will run from 15 August 2024 to 5 March 2027. Rahu is in the seventh house in Omar Abdullah’s horoscope where the conjunction of lagna lord the Sun with Mercury, the lord of the second (Dhan) and eleventh (Labha) houses, is creating a big Dhan Yog. This combination of Sun, Mercury and Rahu in the seventh house of partnership is giving astrological indications for Omar Abdullah that he may once again form a coalition government in the state with his ally Congress. In the Navamsha horoscope, Rahu is placed in the fifth house of ministerial posts and Mercury being in the fourth house of throne can provide Omar Abdullah with an opportunity to sit on the chair of Chief Minister after the elections.
As per Jaimini Chara Dasha the Pisces-Libra period from 8th of September 2024 to 7th of February 2025 is showing the time for getting a high position of power. The Libra sign has his Matriakraka Jupiter in it and it get the Jaimini aspect of Atamakaraka the Sun and Amatayakaraka Mercury.
The 10th Pada is in Capricorn which is the 4th house from Libra. Since Amatayakaraka Mercury is Vargottama in fixed sign Aquarius so its aspect the movable sign Libra in both Rashi and Navamsha. Thus, Omar Abdullah can come back into the power any time after the results of the assembly elections in Jammu & Kashmir state this year.
