In the February and March issues of Express Star Teller, my article on the topic “Enigmas of Jupiter-Venus and Venus-Jupiter Dasha periods” was published in two parts. In that article I had discussed the observations of legendary astrologers regarding results of Jupiter and Venus mutual Dasha-Bhukti’s which can bring major transformation in one’s life. I had taken 8 practical examples, including of famous personalities, to explain the results of Jupiter-Venus and Venus-Jupiter Dasha periods in the light of classical texts like Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Dasha Phala Darpana and Bhaargava Nadika.

Now I am taking the birth chart of famous businessman of India Gautam Adani who has been into news since last 2 years for alleged violations of securities laws and stock manipulation cases. Recently on the 20th of February this year the US Securities and Exchange Commission has sought assistance from India’s ministry of law and justice regarding a complaint against ‘Gautam Adani and his nephew Sagar Adani’ in an alleged violation of securities law {Refer link : https://indianexpress.com/article/business/companies/us-sec-seeks-law-ministrys-help-to-serve-complaint-against-adanis-9845225/}.
Interestingly in the Taurus lagna birth chart of Gautam Adani (chart 1) the enigmatic Vimshottari Dasha of Venus-Jupiter has started from 7th of February 2025. It has been observed that Venus and Jupiter mutual Dasha-Bhukti’s are most troublesome for the natives born in Taurus, Libra, Sagittarius and Pisces ascendant in cases where these two planets are badly placed, afflicted and weak in the horoscope.
Chart 1. Horoscope of Gautam Adani
Gautam Adani (born 24 June 1962, 05:15 a.m. at Ahmedabad, Gujarat) has been in news for negative reasons since January 2023 when a US based short seller group Hindenburg alleged for an improper use of tax havens and stock manipulations by Adani group of companies. At that time Gautam Adani was the 3rd richest man of the world as per the Bloomberg Billionaire index but now as of February 2025 he is at 23rd place in that list with $66.8 billions of personal wealth behind his countryman Mukesh Ambani with $87.7 billion who is at 17th place in the list of billionaires. In the first week of February 2023 Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha had questioned the ruling BJP to explain how the wealth of Gautam Adani increased from USD 8 billion to USD 140 billions from 2014 to 2022 {Refer link –https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/adani-magic-started-in-2014-rahul-gandhi-links-groups-rise-to-pm-modi-in-ls/article66482263.ece}
Gautam Adani was under Venus Dasha and Rahu Anter Dasha from 7th of February 2022 to 7th of February 2025 when his fortunes started falling and from the 3rd richest man of the world, he falls to the 23rd place in the list of Billionaires.
Bandhan Yoga in Gautam Adani’s horoscope
In the Taurus lagna chart of Gautam Adani a very good Gaja Kesari Yoga is in the 10th house of power and the strong 2nd and 5th lord Mercury placed in the lagan made him a super-rich business tycoon. In Navamsha the 5th lord Saturn is in the 10th house with 10th lord and lagna lord Mercury is another major Raja Yoga and Dhana Yoga. Indu lagna is Aquarius where two benefic Jupiter and the Moon are placed. The lagna lord Venus is in mutual aspect with 9th and 10th lord Saturn is also a good Raja Yoga and Dhana Yoga in his chart.
But the equal number of planets are in the 2nd and 12th house which restrict his growth. This Bandhan Yoga has shattered his dream to become the richest man in Asia and in India. The affliction to the lagna and 6th lord Venus by natural malefic planets Rahu, Mars and Saturn is a serious condition for fall from position, imprisonment and also a possible disease which requires surgery. Venus and Rahu are also in Sarpa Dreshkkan which is also not good.
Notice the aspect of Mars and Saturn on the 6th house of disputes and court cases. The 6th house also shows enemies, surgeries, disease and struggles. During Venus Dasha and Jupiter Bhukti from 7th of February 2025 to 9th of October 2027 his legal troubles will increase. He will further fall from his position in the list of Billionaires of the world but will remain the 2nd richest man of India for some more time.
Venus is the lord of lagna (body) and 6th (disease) in birth chart. Jupiter is functional malefic for Taurus lagna and it is the lord of 8th house of obstructions, mishaps and incurable disease. Jupiter is also 11th lord which is 6th from the 6th house of illness. In Trimshamsha (D-30) Jupiter falls in the 8th house of mishaps. But since Jupiter is strong in Navamsha and Dashamasha so Gautam Adani may remain the 2nd richest man of India for a couple of more years during the Anter Dasha of Jupiter.
However, the transit Jupiter from Cancer sign from July 2026 to July 2027 will be the worst period for his health and career. As per a Bhrigu rule the Jeeva Karaka Jupiter transit over Rahu can give serious setbacks in life. During that time Venus-Jupiter-Venus period from June 2026 to November 2026 will be the most difficult period in his career. He may get prosecuted by the USA courts which will impose a heavy financial penalty of millions of dollars which will affect his financial condition badly. Venus and Jupiter are in 6/8 from each are showing fall from position, humiliation and serious health conditions. He may also have a kidney or urinary aliments as Venus is afflicted along with the 6th house in his Taurus lagna birth chart.
