Oath Taking Horoscope of Sushila Karki – What it foretells ?

October 8, 2025 By Sachin Malhotra

On Tuesday, September 9th, a youth protest against corruption in Nepal, India’s northern neighbor, turned violent. Protesters burned down the homes and properties of several prominent ministers, including then-Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. The Supreme Court of Nepal, a major newspaper group, and the Hilton Hotel were also set ablaze by the so-called Gen-Z violent protesters . However, the symbols of Nepal’s monarchy, the Royal Palace Narayanhiti in Kathmandu, and the palace of former King Gyanendra Shah, remained unscathed. Nepal’s President Ram Chandra Paudel accepted Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s resignation, after which groups of Gen-Z protesters (those born between 1997 and 2012) met with senior military officials and demanded the appointment of Sushila Karki as head of a caretaker government and suggested dissolving Parliament. Sushila Karki, the former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, was sworn in as Prime Minister on September 12th at 9:26 pm Nepal time.

 

On 28th of May 2008 the first constituent assembly declared Nepal a Federal Democratic Republic at 23 hours 36 minute at Kathmandu. It ended the 240 year long monarchy in Nepal and the chart cast for the time is the foundation horoscope of Nepal Republic we use. In June 2022 i had discussed this horoscope of Nepal Republic at my blog . In that article i had forecast a very troublesome period for Nepal during November 2022 to November 2025 on the basis of Saturn Dasha and ‘Sadhe-Sati’ of Saturn running in its Capricorn lagna birth chart.
Interestingly a violent change in government has just taken placed in Nepal after a Total Lunar Eclipse of 7/8 September 2025 which had fallen in the Purvabhadra Pada Nakshatra in Aquarius sign which is the Moon sign in the horoscope of Nepal Republic.

Chart 1. Foundation Horoscope of Nepal Republic

 

astrological forecast for Nepal

astrological forecast for Nepal

On May 28, 2008, at 11:26 pm, the Constituent Assembly of India’s neighboring country, Nepal, unanimously abolished the 240-year-old monarchy, declaring Nepal a federal democratic republic. The horoscope of that time is considered the “Foundation Horoscope of the Republic of Nepal.” In the foundation  horoscope of the Republic of Nepal, Capricorn ascendant is rising, and Saturn, considered the planet of democracy, is in the eighth house, in the sign of its enemy, the Sun. Now, consider this remarkable astrological coincidence; in the foundation horoscope of Nepal’s neighbor, China (October 1, 1949, Beijing at 3:03 pm), Capricorn ascendant is rising, and Saturn is also in the eighth house. It is no surprise that since Nepal’s transformation from a Hindu nation to a “democratic republic,” China has cleverly strengthened Nepal’s communist parties and incited anti-India sentiments there. 

In the horoscope of the Republic of Nepal, the tenth lord (royal power) Venus is deep combust  by the eighth lord (disintegration) the Sun. In the last 17 years, 13 governments have been formed. Three prominent leaders—KP Sharma Oli, Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda, and Sher Bahadur Deuba—have held the post of Prime Minister several times in succession, and all have faced allegations of corruption. In the horoscope of the Republic of Nepal, the Moon, being the lord of the sixth (controversy) house, is afflicted by the influence of both Mars and Saturn. Rahu’s transit from the Moon in Aquarius will continue until the end of November next year in 2026. Saturn, transiting in Pisces, is causing the effect of “Sade Sati” in the second house from the Moon in Nepal’s foundation horoscope. Mercury’s Antardasha, beginning on November 25, 2025, during Saturn’s Mahadasha, will provide some relief to Nepal, but holding elections may take some time. 

Since the Maha Dasha lord Saturn and Anter Dasha lord Mercury are in benefic Varga’s in Navamsha of the foundation horoscope of Nepal so their period from 25th of November 2025 to 4th of August 2028 will bring some recovery in the ailing economy of the country. Since COVID 19 the high unemployment, declining foreign reserves and low investments have created serious troubles for Nepal’s economy but now its recovery will start from year 2026.

 

Sushila Karki will face significant challenges

Sushila Karki became the acting Prime Minister after taking oath in Kathmandu on September 12, 2025, at 9:26 pm local time. She became the first woman in her country to hold this position. In her oath taking chart, the ascendant of Taurus, the sign of Venus, the feminine planet, is rising, and the Moon, itself a feminine planet, is present in the ascendant sign. 

Chart 2. Oath Taking horoscope of Sushila Karki

Oath Taking horoscope of Sushila Karki

Navamsha Oath Taking horoscope of Sushila Karki

The ninth aspect of Jupiter, placed in the second house in Gemini, on the tenth house (royal power) from both the ascendant and the Moon, will maintain her good image. Sushila Karki’s oath taking chart has the Taurus ascendant rising, which is the birth ascendant of the horoscope of independent India (August 15, 1947, midnight, Delhi), meaning that relations with India will be satisfactory during her brief tenure.

In her oath taking chart, the conjunction of the Sun, Mercury, and Ketu in close degrees in the fourth house of the throne, and the malefic planet Mars afflicted by Saturn in the fifth house (students), will cause Sushila Karki to face opposition from a large section of Gen Z early next year. In Sushila Karki’s oath taking chart, the sub-period of Saturn in the major period of the Sun, from January 20, 2026, to January 2, 2027, will be a very difficult period.  Next year in 2026, there could be another youth protest in some parts of Nepal, which will be extremely challenging for Sushila Karki to handle and conduct new elections. The Vimshottari Dasha of the Sun and Anter Dasha of Saturn from January 2026 to January 2027 will be challenging for the Nepal Prime Minister Sushila Karki as the Anter Dasha lord Saturn is connected with the 8th house of uncertainty in both Rashi and Navamsha. But somehow she will be able to conduct elections in the end of 2026 or in early 2027 in difficult circumstances.

Planets and Education in Agriculture Science

October 6, 2025 By Sachin Malhotra

In the classical text Phaladeepika chapter number 2 ‘Graha Bheda’ Sloka number 7 explains about significations of planet Saturn. In this sloka a line comes “दासत्वं कृषिसधानं रविसुतकारगृहम् बन्धनं ll” which means, Saturn signify slavery, service, farm equipment’s and imprisonment. So, among the various significations of Saturn Phaladeepika mention ‘farm equipment’. Apart from this about the signification of the Moon the same chapter of Phaladeepika in its sloka number 2 says, “छत्रं सुव्यन्जन फ़लनि मृदुलं पुष्पाणि सस्यं कृषिं ll” meaning the Moon signify royal insignia, sweet meals, fruits, soft material, agriculture, grains etc. Thus, agriculture and grains come under the significations of the Moon as per Phaladeepika. And Saturn rules the farm equipment’s necessary for the farming work.

In Brihat Jataka Karmajeeva Adhyay Chapter number 10 the source of earnings of a native has been advice to reckoned  from the Navamsha  sign lord of the 10th house lord from the strongest of the lagna, the Moon or the Sun. As per the Sloka number 2 of this chapter the Moon signify earnings from the agriculture and products which are grown in the water.

{Note: This article of mine was published in the August 2025 issue of Modern Astrology Magazine. The same has been reproduce here for the readers of this blog} 

After the study of more than 25 horoscopes of people who have got their higher education in the subject of agriculture science, I found that the Moon and Saturn were connected with the 5th house/lord and/or the 9th house/lord in their birth chart, Navamsha  and Chathurvimsamsa  (D-24) divisional chart. I have taken the 5th house and its lord for education as Sage Parashara in his Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra’s  ‘Bhava Vivek Adhyay’ , Chapter number 12 in  Sloka 6 has clearly mentioned that education is to be seen from the 5th house only. The 9th house being the 5th from the 5th as per the ‘Bhavartha Bhavam’ principal is the secondary house for reckoning the education. Apart from this the signs of Saturn (Capricorn and Aquarius) and also of the Moon (Cancer) were found to be having a relation with the 5th house/lord and also 9th house/lord in Rashi , Navamsha  and Chathurvimsamsa  charts invariably.

Now we will take few horoscopes to see how the role of the Moon and Saturn comes into play in the study of agriculture science as a subject in higher learning. All the horoscopes have been cast using Chitra Paksha or Lahiri Ayanamsa only.

Mars Maha Dasha in the foundation chart of India (9 September 2025 to 9 September 2032) – What it foretells ?

October 5, 2025 By Sachin Malhotra

In Brihat Samhita of Acharya Varahamihira the significations of all the 9 planets have been explained in great details in the ‘Graha Bhakti Yoga Adhyay’ chapter number 16th. About Mars it is mentioned that it specifically rules, ‘ Farmers, persons working close to fire (Agni Jeevi), person expert in warfare and weapons (army personals), wild tribes, forts, butchers, sinful people, people with fickle mind, kings, children, proud people, cattle-keepers, harsh-speaking people, red substances, coral, commander-in-chief, jaggery, wine, pungent substances, those who perform Agnihotra (Homam or Yajna) , storehouses, those who collect and perform rituals of metals, ascetics dressed in red saffron color, monks, those who have long-standing enmity, those who talk too much, the lord of all these is Mars’. In the foundation chart of India the 7 year long Vimshottari Dasha of Mars has started from 9th of September 2025.

{Note: This article of mine was published in September 2025 issue of the Express Star Teller Magazine. The same has been reproduce here for the readers of my blog }

As per the modern astrologers apart from the above mention significations,  Mars in mundane astrology rules war, volcano eruptions, terrorist attacks, fire accidents, landslides, earthquakes, court cases, sex scandals, gun culture, top doctors and advocates, law and order problems, civil unrest, army officers, enemies of the country etc.

In the foundation horoscope of India, the 7 year long Vimshottari Maha Dasha of Mars is starting from this year. Mars is the lord of the 7th house and 12th house in the Taurus lagna horoscope of India which is a ‘Maraka’ planet here.

15 August 1947, 00:00 hours mid night at Delhi

astrological forecast for India 2025-2032

astrological predictions for India 2025-2032

 

Mars as the 7th and 12th lord is placed in the 2nd house in its enemy Mercury’s sign in Gemini. The Gemini sign symbolized a pair of man and a woman. Mars is in Ardra Nakshatra ruled by Rahu which is a natural malefic planet,  and is placed in the lagna of the foundation chart of India in the sign ruled by Venus which is involved in a planetary war with natural malefic and Yogakaraka Saturn. Such condition of Mars can bring major socio-economic and cultural changes in the country particularly in the area of marriages, man-women relations, business and family matters.

Divorce Rate will increase

India is a country which has lowest divorce rate in the world which is around 1% only as per the Population Censure of 2011. Due to social stigma attached with divorce most of the Indian couples in the country side prefer not to take a legal divorce but they get separated in cases of highly troublesome marriages. But now there has been an upsurge in divorce rate in the metro cities and tire two cities because of financial independence of women, changing social norms and more awareness about legal rights among women folks {Refer link – https://www.indiatoday.in/lifestyle/society/story/will-the-surge-in-divorces-and-single-living-reshape-indian-society-2692247-2025-03-12 }.

Now, during the Maha Dasha of Mars (from 2025 to 2032) the divorce rate in India will rise sharply. As per my humble estimate it may go beyond 7-8% or even more when the data of next population census shall be released. By the end of Maha Dasha of Mars in September 2032 the divorce rate may cross 10% at the national level.

Sex Scandals and Crime Against Women foreseen

Dashmasha foundation horoscope of India

Trimshamsha foundation horoscope of India

During the Maha Dasha of Mars sex scandal and promiscuous behavior will also increase as Mars as the 7th lord is in the Nakshatra of malefic Rahu. In Trimshamsha (D-30) Mars is the lord of 8th house (scandals) and is placed in the 6th house of disputes. There will be upsurge in crime against women, false court cases, gun culture in society, adultery, extramarital affairs, violence in marriages, cheating in marriages etc. which will give a serious blow to the conventional Indian society. There events will particularly come in the lime-lite during Mars Dasha and Rahu Bhukti (from February 2026 to February 2027) and Mars Dasha and Mercury Bhukti in Vimshottari (March 2029 to March 2030).

Upheavals in Central Government Foreseen

Interestingly the Mars Maha Dasha is starting on the 9th of September 2025 this year just a day after the total lunar eclipse of 7-8 September night which is visible in India. This total lunar eclipse will fall in Aquarius at the 10th house of the foundation horoscope of India, the 4th house (rulers’ throne) of the birth chart of Prime Minister Narendra Modi (17 September 1950, 11:00 a.m. at Vadnagar, Gujarat), the 4th house of the natal Moon of BJP (6 April 1980, 11:45 a.m. at Delhi) and , the 4th house from the natal Moon of Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh (27 September 1925, 10:10 hours at Nagpur, Maharashtra)  and also its chief Mohan Bhagwant (11 September 1950, 11:04 hours at Sangli, Maharashtra). The effects of this total lunar eclipse affecting the sensitive house of the country and its top leadership will bring major changes in the central government.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi may have to resign within 6 months of the total lunar eclipse of the 7-8 September 2025. There will be major changes in the ruling BJP and its parent organization RSS also.

Mars as the lord of the 12th house in Rashi chart shows these changes. Mars is also falling in the 6th house of Dashmasha (D-10) chart and is in bad conjunction with malefic Ketu shows these disturbances and some violent incidents related with central government which may surprise the entire nation.

Birth Rate will decline

The fifth house in mundane astrology is the house of birth rate, entertainment industry, stock market, diplomacy, sporting culture, education institution etc. Mars aspect on the fifth house will reduce the birth rate of the country as couples will opt for abortions and contraceptives to have less children. The current birth rate in India is 16.27 birth per 1,000 people. This means that for every 1,000 people in India, there are about 16.27 live births per year. In year 2016 the birth rate in India was 20.04 per 1,000 people. So, birth rate is declining and so is the fertility rate which at present is 1.975%  which is below 2.1 % which shows that India’s population growth rate is slowing down.

At present India’ population as per United Nations Estimate is 1.46 billion and it is expected to grow up-to 1.7 billion i.e. one billion and 700 crores before starts coming down after 40 years. But as per my humble astrological understanding the Mars Dasha of India will reduce the fertility rate very sharply,  and thus India will be able to control the growth of her population much earlier than the estimates of the  United Nations. Before the end of 2032 the fertility rate in India may comes down to below 1.5% which at present stands at 1.975%. The birth rate will also reduce due to urban couple opting for single child only and many youngers will decide to remain bachelor only.

Foreign Direct  Investments will increase  

Mars is placed in the 2nd house which as per Dr. B.V. Raman signify state revenue, aristocracy in state, wealth of people, state’s imports, commercial transactions, allies and revenue of the state {Refer Hindu Predictive Astrology, Chapter XXXI}. Mars as the lord of the 12th house in the 2nd house shows increase in the foreign direct investment in the country during its 7 year long Maha Dasha. Interestingly at present India is receiving highest FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) from tiny island countries like Singapore and Mauritius which are tax heaven countries.

As per the data, Mauritius accounts for 25 per cent of the total FDI which India has received during April 2000 to March 2024 ($ 171.84 billion), while Singapore’s share is 24 per cent ($ 159.94 billion). The US accounted for 10 per cent of total overseas investments with $ 65.19 billion during the period {Refer Link – https://www.business-standard.com/economy/news/india-receives-highest-fdi-from-singapore-in-2023-24-mauritius-follows-124060200148_1.html }. Now the Maha Dasha of Mars operating in the foundation chart of India will increase FDI from USA more as Mars is in Gemini sign which is the zodiacal sign of USA as per Ptolemy. In the next 7 years there will be lots of foreign direct investment comes from the USA in the area of science and technology mainly.

Income Disparity will increase

But in the foundation horoscope of India (chart 1) the Gemini sign has only 19 points in Ashtaka Varga which is very less. And in Bhinnashtaka Varga Mars has only 2 points in the Gemini. So, public wealth will decline and the income disparity will increase. As per the latest world bank report the people living in extreme poverty in India has declined from 16.2% in 2011-12 to just 2.3% in year 2023-24 which is a reduction of about 170 million people {Refer link – https://www.business-standard.com/economy/news/india-economy-gini-index-income-equality-world-bank-report-125070500514_1.html }. But as per the latest report of Oxfam International the richest 1% of India holds 40% of the wealth of the country while the bottom 50% hold just 3% of wealth. India has 119 billionaires who’s fortune have increase tenfold thanks to the active support of the ruling pro-capitalist   central government (Refer link – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_inequality_in_India).

Upheavals in Stock Market and Entertainment Industry 

The 5th house in mundane astrology signifies stock market, entertainment industry, and education sector. The lord of the 12th house and 7th house Mars giving aspect to the 5th house of education will induce more students choosing to go to the foreign countries for their higher education. There will also be many upheavals in the stock market in the next 7 years particularly during Mars Dasha and Mercury Bhukti and Mars Dasha and Ketu Bhukti in year 2029 and 2030. The media, film industry, tours and travels, aviation and entertainment industry will also suffer badly during 2029 and 2030.

Religious violence will increase

Mars is in Gemini sign which specifically signify the state of West Bengal. The zodiacal sign of Gemini and Mrigshira Nakshatra signify the West Bengal state. During the Maha Dasha of Mars there will be communal tensions in West Bengal and surrounding areas from September 2029 to September 2032. During Mars Dasha and Rahu Bhukti from February 2026 to February 2027 some violent incidents in the area of West Bengal and North East will disturb the country. The communal tensions will also be disturbing in the Uttar Pradesh and  Uttarakhand signified by zodiacal sign Sagittarious.

Mars giving aspect to the 8th house in the foundation chart of India will increase the death rate in the country.

A Two Front War Foreseen

Mars is the lord of the 7th house in the foundation chart of India. From the Moon its falls in the 12th house of losses. In Navamsha Mars goes into the war sign Sagittarius. In Trimshamsha (D-30) and Dashamasha (D-10) Mars goes into the 6th house of enemies. Since Mars is in dual sign so troubles from two or more enemies are highly likely at the same time. During Mars Dasha and Rahu Bhukti from February 2026 to February 2027. Mars is conjoined with Gulika and the Anter Dasha lord Rahu is making a 2/12 relations with the Maha Dasha lord Mars. A major terrorist attack during the summer of 2026 can’t be ruled out. Rahu falls in the 12th house in Navamsha also indicate the same.

At the time of transit of Saturn over the natal Rahu in the foundation chart of India tensions at the border along with Pakistan and China will start increasing in year 2029.

Astrological forecast for the Annual Solar Eclipse of 1 June 2030

 

In year 2030 there will be an annual solar eclipse on 1st of June 2030 which will be visible in India. At the time of this eclipse the Taurus sign, which is the ascendant of the foundation horoscope of India, will get afflicted by natural malefic planets Mars, Ketu and Saturn. The Eclipse will fall in the Rohini Nakshatra and after a few months of this eclipse the transit Saturn will afflict the sensitive Rohini Nakshatra at the time of the total solar eclipse of the 25th of November 2030. As per mundane astrology rules the affliction to the Taurus-Scorpio and the Capricorn-Cancer axis is consider very bad for the India sub-continent. So, in year 2030 India may face a two-front attack at her borders from Pakistan and China around the time of these eclipses in June or November months. Affliction to the Rohini Nakshatra may create a situation for the use of ‘dangerous weapons of mass destruction’ in limited area though during year 2030.

Chart 3. Dasha Pravesh Horoscope of Mars

Dasha Pravesh Kundali of Mars for India

In the Dasha- Phala- Adhyay, chapter number 48 of the  Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, at stanza number 5 & 6 Sage Parashara says that “during the beginning of any Dasha if the lord of the Dasha is in the lagna, in its sign of exaltation or in its own sign or in its friendly sign, gets the aspect of a benefic planet then this Dasha  period gives good results. But on the contrary if the Dasha  lord in transit is moving from the 6th, 8th or 12th and/or in its sign of debilitation or from its enemy sign at the time of the beginning of Dasha  then it will give bad results”.

The above-mentioned principal is known as the study of ‘Dasha  Pravesh Kundali’. The method of casting the Dasha  Pravesh Kundali (chart) is very simple. All we need to do is to check on which day any specific Maha Dasha is starting in a horoscope. Then cast a chart for the start of the day of Maha Dasha by taking the rising sign same as the ascendant and also taking the same place of birth. The rules to study the ‘Dasha Pravesh Kundali’ has been explained in more details in the ‘Dasha  Tattwam’ chapter of the classical text ‘Jataka Tattwam’ which is the last chapter of this book.

What we can expect in Mars Maha Dasha from Dasha Pravesh Kundali ?

We can cast the Dasha Pravesh Chart of Mars by taking the time on 9th of September when the Mars Dasha starts to arrive at the Taurus lagna which is the lagna of the foundation chart of India. In the Dasha Pravesh Chart of Mars (Chart 3) the Maha Dasha lord Mars is in its enemy sign Virgo. Mars is in the 5th house in mutual aspect with Saturn a technical planet is an indicate of country’s student taking more interest in engineering and also law which is signified by Mars in coming years. There will be a boom in Artificial intelligence, law, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, judicial services, police, arm forces career etc. The defence budge of the country will rise sharply. At present the defence budget of India is about 1.9% of the GDP which will rise more during the Maha Dasha of Mars from September 2025 to September 2032.

Since Mars as the 7th lord is in mutual aspect with malefic Saturn so divorce rate will rise and fertility rate will also reduce. Mars and Saturn giving aspect to the 8th house of Dasha Pravesh chart showing increase in death rate, violence, gun culture, scandal etc. Saturn being the lord of the 10th house is in mutual aspect with the 12th lord Mars also shows the change in the government and/or the change in the seat of the Prime Minister i.e. head of the center government. In the Dasha Pravesh chart of Mars there is no natural benefic in Kendra from the lagna which is a major concern but the Jupiter’s position in the 4th house from the Moon is a saving grace.

So, despite being a very tough Dasha period of Mars (September 2025 to September 2029) in the foundation horoscope of India the economy of the country will grow fast due to the good effect of Jupiter on the Mars in the foundation chart of India (chart 1), and also the strong position of Jupiter in the Dasha Pravesh chart of Mars (chart 3).

 

 

Solar Ingress of Virgo 2025- What it foretells for India and the world ?

September 22, 2025 By Sachin Malhotra

In mundane astrology, the horoscope formed at the time of the Sun’s zodiac change is called the Surya Sankranti Kundali or Solar Ingress chart. Since, according to geocentric astrological theory, the Sun remains in a zodiac sign for 30 days, so the solar ingress horoscope and its planetary positions are given special importance for the economic, social, and political predictions for a period of month. On Tuesday, September 17th, at 1:47 am Indian standard time, on the Ekadashi of the Krishna Paksha (11th days of the darker half)  of Bhadrapada lunar month, the Sun has entered  the Virgo zodiac sign. According to Bhavishyaphal Bhaskar, a treatise on mundane astrology, if Kanya Sankranti falls on Tuesday, there is a risk of disease and the prices of sugarcane and grains may rise. The Indian state of Kerala is facing a surge of a deadly brain eating amoeba which will create more problems in the coming days.

This year, the Sun, in Virgo, will be forming an opposition with its enemy Saturn, which is transiting in Pisces, creating an inauspicious “Samsaptak” Yoga, which will lead to discord among kings and possible mass protests in many countries. Due to the influence of retrograde Saturn aspect on  Virgo, aggression by  Israel in the middle East and by Russia in Ukraine war will increase. In the Indian context, at the time of the solar ingress the Cancer ascendant is rising  and retrograde Saturn being the eighth lord sitting in the ninth house of the Supreme Court and making an inauspicious 1/7 relation with the Sun, there comes an indication of  some big decision of the Supreme Court creating tension with the government and the Election Commission may also involve in it. 

Conflict between the Election Commission and opposition parties will increase

The Election Commission of India was established on January 25th , 1950, in Delhi. The Election Commission’s establishment horoscope has a Vargottama Libra ascendant. With the ascendant (Libra) being Vargottama in the Navamsa in the Election Commission’s foundation horoscope and the placement of auspicious planets (Jupiter and Venus) in the Kendra (quadrant) , this constitutional institution is known worldwide for conducting fair elections. However, in the past few years, when the Mahadasha of Rahu (sitting in the sixth house of controversy)  had started from July 2005 to July 2023 in the Election Commission’s establishment horoscope, the BJP and then the Congress repeatedly accused the Election Commission of irregularities in the electronic voting machines (EVM’s)  used for voting.

Astrological predictions about general elections 2024
In my article posted on 2nd of May 2024 i had forecast more controversies for the election commission of India due to a weak Maha Dasha of 3rd and 6th lord Jupiter. In my article ‘Jupiter Dasha in the foundation horoscope of Election Commission of India’  these predictions were given which has not been coming true as since last few months opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has given a couple of presentations on voter list irregularities benefiting  the ruling BJP.

For the past two years, the Election Commission has been facing a regular onslaught by the opposition parties. In the Maha Dasha of Jupiter, the Election Commission is being accused by the opposition parties of tampering with the voter list at the behest of the ruling BJP. In the horoscope of the Election Commission, the conjunction of the tenth lord Moon with Rahu in the sixth house of controversy and the transit of Saturn over it is an astrological combination of increasing this voter list controversy. On 17th September, the Sun entering virgo and transiting over Ketu in the twelfth house of losses in the foundation horoscope of the Election Commission will intensify the conflict between the Commission and the opposition parties.
