Oath Taking horoscope of C.P. Radhakrishnan – Will he be able to complete his tenure ?

December 31, 2025 By Sachin Malhotra

On the 12th of September 2025 Mr. C.P. Radhakrishna took oath of the 15th Vice President of India. Earlier Ex. Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar had resigned on the 21st of July citing health concerns and he has not appeared publicly since his surprised resignation from the post. Former Vice president Jagdeep Dhankhar attended the swearing-in ceremony of his successor, CP Radhakrishnan, at Rashtrapati Bhavan. As a candidate of the ruling NDA C.P. Radhakrishna had won 452 electoral votes as against his opponent B.Sudershan Reddy’s 300 votes on the election day of 9th of September. The Vice President election is done by an electoral collage in a secret ballot in which the member of the upper house (Rajya Sabha) and lower house (Lok Sabha) both participate. Interestingly at least 15 opposition MP’s cross voted in favor of C.P. Radhakrishan which had created a buzz in the political circle of center.

In the October issue of EST, I had discussed in length the birth chart of C.P. Radhakrishna in my article ‘C.P. Radhakrishnan’s Stars Shine’ at page number 25. Now let’s study in detail the oath taking chart of the newly elected Vice President of India.

Chart 1. Oath Taking Horoscope of C.P. Radhakrishnan

12th of September 2025, 10:10 a.m. at Delhi with a balance of 1 years 7 months and 22 days of the Venus Dasha at birth.

In the oath taking chart of C.P. Radhakrishna (chart 1) Libra (Tula) lagan is rising which as per Dr. B.V. Raman is a favorable sign for swearing-in-ceremony. In classical text Muhurata Chintamani’s ‘Rajya Abhisheka Prakranam’ Chapter number 10 first Sloka it is mentioned, “When the Sun is in Uttarayana (from Makar Samkranti to Mithuna Samkranti), Jupiter and Venus are not combusted and the Sun, Mars, lagna lord and the ruler of the running Dasha and the Moon sign of the native is strong then it is good time for swearing-in-ceremony of the king. Also, the lunar month of Chaitra, Riktha Tithi (4th, 9th and 14th lunar day), Tuesday, night time and Adhik Mass is not considered good for the Swearing-in-ceremony”.

Health Problems Foreseen

At the time of the swearing-in of C.P. Radhakrishnan the Sun was in Uttarayana and natural benefic planets Venus and Jupiter were not combusted by the Sun. Also, C.P. Radhakrishnan (born 20th of October 1957, 09:35 a.m. at Tirupur, Tamil Nadu) has the Moon sign, which is Leo, lord the Sun is also strong at the time of his oath taking. But his Janma lagna lord Mars is badly placed in the 12th house of his oath taking chart and it is in mutual aspect with retrograde Saturn which is the Maha Dasha lord of his birth chart at present.

In the oath taking chart of C.P. Radhakrishna the Moon is in Bharani Nakshatra who’s lord is ‘Yama’ and this Nakshatra being a ‘Kroora’ in nature is not consider good for the swearing-in-ceremonies. The Moon is the 10th lord in his oath taking chart and it is in Mrityu Bhagh degrees. The Moon is placed in the 7th house of opposition and a ‘Maraka Bhava’ getting the aspect of 7th lord Mars which is also not good for his health. In Navamsha the Moon is in the sign of Mars and in Dashamasha the Moon is with Saturn a natural malefic.

The weak position of the Moon and the natural malefic planets in the 6/12 axis from the both lagna and the Moon producing a classical ‘Bandhana Yoga’ is a clear indication of some health issues to the newly elected Vice President of India in future.

Although Jupiter from the 9th house aspect the rising sign of the oath taking but since Jupiter is a functional malefic here as the 6th lord and 3rd lord , and it is also in its enemy sign in Gemini so it’s aspect on the lagna is not much helpful.

In the birth chart of C.P. Radhakrishna the Maha Dasha of the 4th (throne of the ruler) and 3rd lord Saturn is running which is in its Mrityu Bhag degrees. Saturn is functional malefic for the Scorpio lagna chart and it is in conjunction with 7th and 12th lord Venus which is a ‘Maraka’ planet for him. Saturn as the lord of the Navamsha lagna and Dashamasha lagna made him reach at the higher constitutional position in his political career, but this Saturn is a functional malefic from both his Janma lagna and Chandra Lagna.

From the Moon, which is in Leo, Saturn is the lord of the 6th house (diseases) and  7th lord thus becoming a ‘Maraka’.  Also, since Gulika is in Aquarius so Saturn is also Gulika Rashi Pati which as per Prashna Marga is not good as Maha Dasha of Gulika Rashi Pati can be dangerous for health if it is not under good conditions in the birth chart. The Maha Dasha of Saturn and the Anter Dasha of Mercury in Vimshottari from December 2025 to August 2028 will not be good for his health. Mercury as the 8th lord in the 12th house is creating a ‘Vipreeta Raja Yoga’ but it is not good for health matters. In Navamsha and Trimshamsha (D-30) Mercury as the lord of the 6th house shows some health issues during its Anter Dasha. When the Anter Dasha of Ketu placed in the 6th house will run from August 2028 to September 2029 in which  he may have to resign from his post due to some health issues or controversies. Ketu is making a 6/8 relations with Maha Dasha lord Saturn which is inauspicious for C.P. Radhakrishna.

 

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.

Chart 1. Female: Born March 2, 1974 at 01h. 20m. at 81E 14’, 26N 13’ with a balance of 3 years 9 months 5 days of the Moon Dasha  at birth.

Pitru Dosha or Purva Janma Shrapa as per Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra

June 21, 2024 By Sachin Malhotra

The Sage Parashara in his Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra has elaborately explained  the astrological yogas for past life curses in the ‘Purva-Janama-Sharap-Adhyay’. The chapter number 84 of  Parashara Hora Shastra has discussed at length  the 70 yogas which occurs due to curses from past life which gives childlessness to the native in present birth. Nowadays astrologers have started using the term ‘Pitra-Dosha’ for it and have over simplified these yogas for the reason that they can’t find it in the chart as they are difficult to memorise. There are 11 yogas for the curse by father from previous birth, 13 yogas for curse coming from mother, 13 yogas for curse coming from brother through past life Karma’s, 4 yogas for curse by maternal uncle (Mama), 7 yogas for curse from Brahmin (priest) , 11 yogas describing curse from wife (spouse) and 9 yogas which explain curse by the Preta or Evil Spirit in the previous life. These yogas are mainly for childlessness as per Sage Parashara but in practical experience it has been found that these yoga’s of curses of past life gives at times extreme delays or denial of marriage and many other family problems.

{Note: This article of mine was appeared in the January 2024 issue of the Modern Astrology Magazine. The same has been reproduce here for the readers of my blog}

The Sage Parashara in his ‘Hora Shastra’ has also given astrological remedies to remove the effect of these past life curses. These astrological remedies include donations, Mantra Japa, Puja, Yantra,  Planting trees, fasts (Upavaas) , performing ‘Shradha’ (Puja for ancestors) at Gaya ,  digging well and pond for water as a social service, going for pilgrimages,  serving cow and Brahmin etc. The Sage Parashara has specifically indicated that native having these yogas in his chart should himself do these remedies.

These curses of past life birth are due to our own bad Karmas which we can get-rid of by either patiently enduring them or by doing Praschit Karma (penance) with pure heart. Some of the  modern age astrologers has oversimplified these ‘Purva Janma Shrapa’ Yogas given by Sage Parashara and started addressing them as ‘Pitra Dosha’ in a horoscope indicating the placement of Rahu in certain houses or conjunction of Rahu- Ketu (nodes) along with luminaries (Sun and Moon) etc . The term ‘Pitra-Dosha’  is neither mention by Parashara or  by any other ancient authority in Hindu astrology classical texts. The same is with ‘Kaal-Sarpa-Dosha’ which is nowhere found in any major classical texts of Hindu Jyotish.

‘Karma Vipak Samhita’ is a classical text in the form of a discourse between Bhagwan Shiv and Devi Parvati in which lord has mention the curses of past lives based on birth in various Nakshatra Pada’s, which are 108, and their remedies. At present this classical text is available in Hindi only but it is not much popular among the savants of astrology for the reason that remedies mentioned in this text are of Vedic era which is extremely difficult to perform in modern times.

Now I will give some examples where I had found the curses of past lives mention in the Briha Parashara Hora Shastra.

Chart 1. A businessman and astrologer : Born August 19, 1975 at 05 h. 45 m. , at Ghaziabad ,  at 77 E 26, 28 N 40 with a balance of 4 years 3 months 29 days of Sun Dasha  at birth.

Astrological yoga’s for Pitru Dosha or Purva Janma Shrapa as per Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra

Astrological yoga’s for Pitru Dosha or Purva Janma Shrapa as per Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra

 

In Sloka number 9 of Purva Janma Shrap Adhya of Brihat Prashara it is mention that if Rahu is in the 5th house under the aspect of Mars, then there will be childlessness due to the curse of a serpent. This yoga is applicable in the Cancer lagna horoscope (chart 1) given here. The native is elder among three siblings. He has one younger brother and a younger sister who is married. He himself is not yet married at the age of 48. One can see the yoga for denial of marriage in both Rashi  and Navamsha . In Rashi  chart there is an exchange of houses between 7th lord Saturn and lagna lord Moon. In Bhava Chalit Moon has moved to the 6th house and Saturn has gone to the 12th house. In Navamsha  the 7th house and its lord are under the join malefic aspect of both Mars and Saturn. The placement of natural malefic planets in the Janma lagna and Navamsha  lagan both is a yoga for lack of interest in marriage or conjugal life.

The native has done Msc. Mathematics, MBA (management), M.A. in Sanskrit. L.L.B (law degree)  and M.A. in Jyotisha. He was my batchmate at the Institute of Astrology Bharitiya Vidhya Bhavan in Delhi,  and now pursuing a PHD in Jyotisha from a central university. The Yoga of ‘Sarpa Shrap’ had kept him a bachelor. But the interesting thing here is that I have an identical horoscope of a person born on the same date, around same time but in a different city.

Chart 2. A lawyer by profession and astrologer : Born August 19, 1975 at 05 h. 20 m. , at Delhi, at 77 E 13, 28 N 40 with a balance of 5 years 4 months 3 days of Sun Dasha  at birth.

Astrological yoga’s for Pitru Dosha or Purva Janma Shrapa as per Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra

Astrological yoga’s for Pitru Dosha or Purva Janma Shrapa as per Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra

The Chart 2 of Cancer lagna given here is of a professional lawyer who was born in the family of Uttarakhand Brahmin’s and he is well initiated into astrologer since young age. He is also elder among three siblings like the native of chart 1 discussed earlier. But his younger brother and sister both are unmarried till now  though they have crossed the age of 40. The classical ‘Sarpa Shrapa’ is also present in his horoscope as Rahu is in the 5th house and there is an aspect of Mars on it. But this native got married in November 2010 (Rahu Dasha  and Venus Bhukti) and also had two children (a girl and a boy) afterwards. Now the question comes why did he had children even though the ‘Sarpa Shrapa’ was present in his chart like it was in chart 1 discussed earlier?

The native has Cancer lagan rising with Aquarius Navamsha . His Rashi  chart has same combinations for delay or denial of marriage like it is in chart 1 but in his Navamsha  we have Venus, the karaka for spouse, in the 7th house of marriage. Also, Jupiter aspect the 7th house of marriage in Navamsha  chart and there is no influence of a malefic planet on the Navamsha  lagan so he had the desire to get married unlike the native of chart 1. It has been observed that when Janma lagna and Navamsha  lagan both are under the influence of a natural malefic planet and the Karaka Venus is afflicted along with the 7th house and its lord  then native don’t have much interest in getting married. This condition is applicable in chart 1  but not in the chart 2 as there the Navamsha  lagna had changed.

He got married in Rahu Dasha  and Venus Bhukti in November 2010. Also notice here in Navamsha  the Rahu has moved into the 6th house so the ‘Sarpa Shrapa’ yoga in Rashi  chart has become weak as compare to the native of chart 1 where the Rahu and Saturn were in the 5th house of Navamsha  giving him denial of marriage and also children.

As per my knowledge none of these two persons having ‘Sarpa Shrapa’ in their charts has never performed ‘Nag Devta’ Puja as mention in Briha Parashara Hora Shastra’s Purva Janma Shrapa Adhyay.

Chart 3. A politician  and stock market trader : Born July 16, 1955 at 22 h. 47 m. ,  at 80 E 17, 13 N 05 with a balance of 1 years 1 months 25 days of  Moon Dasha  at birth.

Astrological yoga’s for Pitru Dosha or Purva Janma Shrapa as per Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra

The chart 3 given here is of a politician and stock market trader. His son consulted me to find out what yoga’s in his father’s horoscope is obstructing him to get success in political filed and had given him huge losses in stock trading ? His son, who knows some basics of astrology, had consulted many astrologers but none was able to explain technically why his father had to suffer big financial losses during the period from year 2000 to 2020 despite the fact that he was under the Maha Dasha  of an exalted Saturn (September 1997 to September 2016) followed by Mercury period which is in own sign in Gemini in his Pisces lagna horoscope.

This native’s son told me that his father is also suffering from 6 to 7 health issues like constipation, piles, leg pain, cough problem etc. since 2002. The family was under debts as this native’s son was also having some financial issues. In his Pisces lagna chart 5th lord Moon was in its Moola Trikona sign Taurus and was in its own Navamsha . Then there was a “Dhana” Yoga of lagan lord Jupiter exalted in the 5th house along with 9th lord Mars. But none of the yoga’s were showing its effects as their Maha Dasha  was not present.

I examined his chart and told him “ Rahu in the sign of Jupiter  and Jupiter in the 5th house under affliction is classical ‘Brahma Shrapa’ as per Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Purva Janma Shrapa Adhayaa Chapter number 84 and Sloka Number 72”.  As per Sage Parashara Brahma Shrapa (course by Brahmin) occurs when a person had insulted a Brahmin or a learned man in his previous birth.

This ‘Brahma Shrapa’ in this case had get aggravated in Saturn Dasha   which is giving aspect to Rahu in the sign of Jupiter and is also giving aspect to the Jupiter placed in the 5th house.  Saturn is afflicted by the aspect of Mars in Rashi  chart. In Navamsha  Saturn is debilitated and is in conjunction with Rahu there.  Mercury Maha Dasha   was also not giving him favourable results as it is in the Navamsha  of Saturn and under the influences of both Mars and Saturn’s aspect there.

I asked the son of this native to perform  “Chandrayaan Vrata as  a remedy for this Brahma Shrapa . Doing service of holy cow is also recommended in this case as per Sage Parashara. Any member of the family can perform these remedies”. The son of this native had performed these remedies and told me after 2 years that his father’s health improved  but there was not much relief in financial condition of the family.

I was able to locate the Brahma Shrapa  in this chart with the help of my astrology software as it is obvious that we can’t remember all the 70 yoga’s of  ‘curses in the past life’ given in the Purva Janma Shrapa Adhyaya of Parashara Hora Shatra. After checking in the software, I always do find the yoga manually along with the remedies mention for the same, so that to  to avoid any mistake at my side.

The chart 4 of Taurus lagna given here is of a government servant. He is M.Tech in electronics engineering which is amply clear from the aspect of Mars on the 5th house and the 5th lord, which is Mercury the karaka for communication along with Sun. In Jupiter Dasha  and Jupiter Bhukti, he got the government job of Tehseeldar (officer in village) in Rajasthan state when he was 31 years of age. He met me in April 2023 when he was 36 and still unmarried. My attention goes to the 9th house in ‘Paap Kartari Yoga’ , lagna lord Venus debilitated , Moon and the 2nd house both getting aspects of hard malefic planets Mars and Saturn. What does it was showing? I asked him did any female member in your parent’s family suffered from unnatural death?  He got surprised and told me that his Bua (father’s sister) was murdered sometimes in the late 1980’s. He also told me that in his family since last 3 generations women had terrible married life. His own two sister’s had failed marriages.

I further probe into this matter and found ‘Matru-Shrapa’ (curse of mother in previous birth) in his birth chart as mention in Chapter 84, Sloka number 36 of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. In his chart  the lord of 5th house is in the 6th house and lord of lagna is debilitated and Moon is getting aspect of a malefic planets which is ‘Matru-Shrapa’ yoga as mention in Purva Janma Shrapa Adhyay of Parashara Hora. The lord of 4th house in Rashi  and Navamsha  is afflicted so the ‘Matru-Shrapa’ yoga aggravated more which resulted into lack of peace and harmony in the family. Gayatari Japam and Puja of ‘Peepal’ (fig tree) was given as a remedy for ‘Matru-Shrapa’ .

 

Chart 5. A consultant and Auditor  : Born September  16, 1977 at 06 h. 53 m. ,  at 85 E 20, 23 N 21 with a balance of 1 years 5 months 15 days of  Mars Dasha  at birth.

This young lady was my senior when I was studying in astrology institute during 2006-2009. Her both parents are experienced mining engineers and she has done PHD in Hydrogeology and Mining from IIT Delhi. She is single child of her parents and run a successful consulting company at Delhi. At the age of 45 she is still unmarried which is the biggest concern for her parents. Ketu in the 7th house and the 7th lord Jupiter getting afflicted by malefics in both Rashi  and Navamsha  was major obstacle in marriage. Then the presence of Sun, Saturn and Mercury in the 12th house is also very unhelpful for marriage prospects.

But then there is an exchange of houses between 2nd lord Venus and 11th lord Moon which was showing some hope for marriage. I made a forecast for her that during Saturn Dasha  and Venus Bhukti from December 2019 to February 2023 she will surely get married but this prediction went wrong. When I looked for the yoga of past life curses in Purva Janma Shrap Adhya,  I found a yoga given in Sloka number 12 fully applicable in her chart. As per this yoga of Sarpa Shrapa (course of serpent) ‘If Jupiter the karaka for child is associated with Mars,  and Rahu is in the lagna and the lord of 5th house is in ‘Dusthana’ i.e. 6th, 8th or 12th then it is Sarpa Shrapa’.

Apart from this a Yoga for ‘Pitra Shrapa’ i.e. curse of father from previous life was partially applicable in her chart. As per this yoga given at the Sloka number 26 of Purva Janma Shrapa Adhyay, ‘if the lord of the 10th house is in 6th, 8th or 12th house and Jupiter is in malefic Rashi  and the lord of the lagna and the 5th are associated with malefic planets then ‘Pitra Shrapa’ occur’.

The ‘Sarpa Shrapa’ and ‘Pitra Shrapa or Curse of Father from Previous Birth’ apply in this case which as per Sage Parashara gives lack of child birth. These two yoga’s of past life curses, along with other factors, made her remain single despite best efforts to get married.

 

 

 

 

A Case Study of ‘Bandhan Yoga’

November 9, 2023 By Sachin Malhotra

In Brihat Parashara Hora Sastra published by Sri Khemaraj Shri Krishna Das Venketeshwara Press Mumbai, which is the oldest translation of this classical text available at present, the Bandhan Yoga has been clearly mentioned at page number 219 in chapter number 27. As per this chapter if there are an equal number of planets placed in the 2/12, 5/9, 6/12, 3/11 and/or 4/10 axis from the Janma lagna or Karakamsha lagna then native can get imprisonment. Interestingly the text says that if benefic planets, by their aspect or conjunction, are involve in this yoga then physical bondage or imprisonment doesn’t take place. It has been found that if natural benefic like Jupiter, Mercury, Venus and Waxing Moon are involved in Bandhan Yoga then native feels emotional suffocation or compulsions.

A point to remember here is that, in Bandhan Yoga Rahu and Ketu are not considered as they are shadow planets only. However, in ‘Paap Kartari Yoga’ we do consider nodes, Rahu and Ketu as they are natural malefic planets.

In Dwadasha Vivek Adhyay of Jataka Tattwam the placement of malefic planets in the 2/12 and 5/9 houses have been given as ‘Bandhan Yoga’ for imprisonment. As per Brihad Yavana Jataka Mars in the 12th house also give imprisonment. As per Shambhu Hora Prakash and Hora Ratnam malefic planets in 2/12 and 5/9 houses gives imprisonment. According to Late Dr. B.V. Raman if the lords of ascendant and 6th house are in conjunction with Rahu, Ketu and/or Saturn and are in the Kendra (angle) or Trikona (trine) then native shall be imprisoned.

Bandhan Yoga had also been given in chapter number 21 ‘Anishtha Yoga Adhyay’ of Brihat Jataka at Sloka number 16. I am referring to the Briha Jataka in Hindi by Dr. Suresh Chandra Mishra (page number 338). Here, the yoga is a little different. As Varahamihira takes malefic planets in the 2/12 and 5/9 house from the Janma lagna for imprisonment. He also mentions the role of Drekkan in the lagna for the assessment of the type of bondage one may have to face.

If the Janma lagna is in Sarpa Dreshkkan and the lagna lord is associated with malefic planets then also Bandhan Yoga occurs. The lagna is in Nigada Dreskkan i.e. first Dreskkan of Makar (Capricorn) and the aspect or association of malefic planets with the lagna is also a Bandhan Yoga.

Bandhan Yoga in Prashna Marga

A special reference to Bandhan Yoga has been given in Chapter number 14 of Prashna Marga from Sloka number 106 to 114. I am referring here to the translation by Dr. B.V. Raman of Prashna Marga (Part I) at page number 487. Although, these yoga’s given are mentioned with respect to the Horary or Prashna Kundali but we can also apply these on the natal horoscopes.

A special reference to the Janma lagna rising in Sarpa Dreshkkan or Nigada Dreshkkan getting the aspect of a powerful malefic has been given with respect to yoga for imprisonment. As per stanza number 111 of Chapter number 14 of Prashna Marga, “If the lagna falls either in the Dreshkkan of Saturn or in Sarpa Dereshkkan, and is aspected by the Moon and Saturn, then subject will be imprisoned.

The next stanza 112 says, “if Saturn occupies the 5th, 9th, 4th, 8th or 7th identical with a malefic owned Rashi and is aspected by malefics, one suffer prison for life.” If Saturn is in movable sign, the person will be liberated from prison soon; if a fixed sign, he suffers a long-term of imprisonment; and if in a common sign, the period will be neither very long nor very short.

I had earlier discussed the above mentioned Bandhan Yoga’s in my article “Rahu Anter Dasha of Arvind Kejariwal and Crisis in Aam Aadmi Party” 

Now i am presenting here the study of  the horoscope of  V. Senthil Balaji who was a minister in the DMK government in Tamil Nadu   before he got arrested on 14 June 2023 by Enforcement Directorate (ED) for alleged money laundering.

Horoscope of V. Senthil Balaji

V. Senthil Balaji horoscope

V. Senthil Balaji horoscope

In the horoscope of V. Senthil Balaji (21 October 1975, 08:35 am at Karur, Tamil Nadu) the Scorpio lagna is rising. The noticeable point here is the equal number of planets in the 6th and 12th house. The Sun is in the 6th house and the  Moon is in the 12th house. We don’t consider Rahu and Ketu in the Bandhan Yoga. The luminaries the Sun and the Moon makes a very good Raja Yoga for Scorpio lagna as per Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. Sun being the 10th lord is in mutual aspect with 9th lord Moon makes a very strong Raja Yoga here. He was the minister of transport in the  AIADMK government during 2011 to 2015. At that time he was under the Vimshottari Maha Dasha of Mars (April 2011 to April 2018). Mars as the lagna and 6th lord is in the 8th house making a Vipreet  Raja Yoga. But  here Mars in its enemy sign and is placed in the Nakshtra of Rahu has to give controversies and legal hurdles.

The ED has registered a case against him in relation to the allegation of corruption when he was the transport minister in the AIADMK government during 2011 to 2015.  In December 2018 when he was under Rahu-Rahu period in Vimshottari he joined the DMK party in the presence of its president M.K. Stalin.

Rahu is in the 12th house in birth chart and in Navamsha it gets the aspect of 8th lord Mars. Now he got arrested on 14 June 2023 during his Rahu Dasha and Saturn Bhukti in Vimshottari from 13 May 2023 to 19 March 2026. He allegedly had chest pain and has to be treated at hospital at that time. He was Electricity and Excise Minister in the DMK government during 7 May 2021 to 16 June 2023. In the first week of November this year his case for bail came up for a hearing at the Supreme Court. The apex court had extended his remand till 22nd of November this year till the next hearing on the matter. 

Also notice in his chart we have equal number of planets in the 5th and 9th house also. So, the equal number of planets at the 6th and 12th house and also the 5th and 9th house makes two classical Bandhan Yoga in the horoscope of V.Senthil Balaji. The Maha Dasha of Rahu in the 12th house and Anter Dasha of  Saturn involve in Bandhan Yoga can keep him behind bar for few more months. His Karakamsha lagna is Aquarius from where the 9th house has Sun and the 5th house has Mars making another “Bandhan Yoga”. Apart from this malefic planets in the 5th and 9th from Karakamsha lagna also give troubles arising due to the Puja or Sadhana of Shudra Devi-Devata’s as per Jaimini Sutram.

The court case can run for a very long duration giving trouble to V.Senthil Balaji until his Mercury Anter Dasha will come in March 2026. Mercury as the 8th and 11th lord (decree of court) in mutual aspect with 5th lord Jupiter shows complete relief in the matter. Before  this Mercury Anter Dasha he will have to face the imprisonments for many months and even after the bail he may gain find himself  in more legal troubles as the current Anter Dasha of Saturn is not favorable for him.

As per the Jaimini Chara Dasha he got arrested when Aries-Aquarius period was running from 21 April to 21 June 2023. Aries is the 6th house from his Janma lagna and his Atamakaraka Jupiter falls in the 12th house from Aries sign. The Anter Dasha Rashi Aquarius is the sign of his Karakamsha lagna as his Atamakaraka Jupiter is in the Navamsha of Aries. Now the Jaimini Chara Dasha of Pisces is running since 20th of October 2023 don’t show any quick relief as Pisces has his Atamakaraka Jupiter and his Amatayakaraka Venus falls in the 6th from Pisces sign.  Notice here the aspect of Ganatikaraka Mars on his Atamakaraka Jupiter in Pisces, the dasha of which can give health issues to him of a serious nature.
