The state of Tamil Nadu has 39 seats which are very important for both NDA and the INDIA alliance. However, the major national parties BJP and Congress has very negligible presence in this state. In last General Elections (Lok Sabha Polls) in Tamil Nadu the DMK led by M.K. Stalin along with its alliances Congress, left and smaller Dravidian Parties won 38 out of 39 seats after getting 53.15% of votes. AIADMK was fighting that election in 2019 under the joint leadership of E.K. Palaniswami and O.Pannerselvam. In 2019 the AIADMK was part of NDA and has fought election only on 20 Lok Sabha seats leaving the rest for BJP and other smaller parties in their group. This time during 2024 General Elections in Tamil Nadu the political landscape is very different as DMK led by M.K. Stalin is going with their winning combination while the AIADMK is now fighting this election under the leadership of her former chief minister E.K. Palaniswami. The BJP is fighting on 19 Lok Sabha seats in Tamil Nadu and rest they have left for the smaller parties in their NDA alliance. The voting was done on the 19th of April in Tamil Nadu and the results for the 39 seats will come on the 4th of June next month.
Chart 1. Horoscope of K. Annamalai
4 June 1994, 13:17 hours at Karur, Tamil Nadu
78 E 05′ and 10N 57′
K. Annamalai become the youngest Tamil Nadu BJP President at the age of 37 in July 2021. Since then he has been working very hard to setup carder of the saffron party in this Southern state. In the second half of 2023 K. Annamalai took a 1700 KM on the foot and bus travel public campaign (Yatra) across the state. He become very popular due to his hybrid public outreach campaign which was first of its kind by any Tamil Nadu BJP leader. So, it is during Venus Dasha and Mercury Anter Dasha from June 2021 to June 2024 that K. Annamalai is coming into prominence in his political career. Both Venus and Mercury are the Karaka planets for his Virgo lagna chart.
Earlier he was an IPS police officer of 2011 batch in Karnataka cadre. He left his job to join the BJP for his political ambition. Saturn as the lord of Kendra or trine houses if aspect the Kendra house can give strong interest in a political career. Also the strength of the Moon is also an important factor to make a good career in to politics. In case of Virgo lagna horoscope of K. Annamalai Saturn fulfills the condition of a political career but it is also associated with the 3rd (speech) and 8th (humiliation and scandal) lord Mars. Some of his fiery speech are likely to put him under major trouble in next one year during his enigmatic Mercury Dasha and Ketu Anter Dasha. Mercury-Ketu or Ketu-Mercury periods in Vimshottari has to be watched very carefully.
During current Venus-Mercury-Saturn from 20th of December 2023 to 1st of June 2024 he is not likely to win his election. His Venus is combust by the 12th lord (losses) the Sun. The Anter Dasha lord Mercury is in Rashi Gandanta in birth chart and falls in the 12th house of losses in his Navamsha chart. The transiting Saturn is in the 8th from his natal Moon shows a set back. Although there will be some increase in vote percentage of the BJP but they will gain no seats from this Southern State.
Chart 2. Horoscope of DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam)
17 September 1949, 13:30 hours at Chennai, Tamil Nadu
80E 17’, 13N 05’
In the Sagittarius lagna horoscope of DMK (Chart 2) it was Venus-Jupiter-Rahu in Vimshottari during the time of general elections in 2019 when they had won 24 seats with impressive vote share. This time DMK would be under Venus-Mercury-Ketu in Vimshottari at the time of elections. Venus as the 6th and 11th houses lord is strongly placed in the 11th house of gains.
Mercury is at the 10th house in own sign in degree conjunction with Ketu gives some doubts and indications for a little setback also. But the Anter Dasha lord Mercury and Pratyanter Dasha lord Ketu both are strongly placed in the lagna of Navamsha chart of DMK so party will again win good number of seats. Though on few seats they may have to suffer a surprise defeat but overall their telly will be very impressive in Lok Sabha polls. I have also taken into considerations the birth chart of M.K. Stalin (1 March 1953, 23:50 hours at Chennai, Tamil Nadu) where a difficult Saturn-Rahu Dasha in Vimshottari in his Scorpio lagna chart shows loss of some seats to his opponent in a surprise manner.
Chart 3. Horoscope of AIADMK
17 October 1972, 19:51 hours at Chennai, Tamil Nadu
80E 17’, 13N 05’
Since July 2022 the AIADMK has been led by the former chief minister E.K. Palaniswami. After the expulsion of senior leader O.Pannerselvam the AIADMK is trying to distance itself from the NDA led by the BJP. The AIADMK is going to fight the Lok Sabha elections in Tamil Nadu at their own to challenge their traditional rival DMK. The Vimshottari Dasha of Saturn and Anter Dasha of the Moon from November 2023 to June 2025 shows some improvement in the performance of AIADMK. At the time of Lok Sabha Polls the AIADMK would be under Saturn-Moon-Rahu Dasha in Vimshottari in their Taurus lagna horoscope (Chart 3). Saturn is strongly placed in the lagna as Yogakaraka but has gone into the 8th house in Navamsha.
The Moon as the 3rd lord is in the 9th house of luck in Rashi chart. The sub-sub period lord Rahu is in the 8th house along with the 8th and 11th lord Jupiter and get the aspect of ‘Maraka’ Mars which is not auspicious. The AIADMK will not get much success though their vote share and number of seats are likely to be a little better as compare to 2019 Lok Sabha elections. In the birth chart of E.K. Palaniswami (20 March 1954, 12:10 hours at Salem, Tamil Nadu) the Vimshottari Dasha of Mercury placed in the 9th house of her Gemini lagna chart and Anter Dasha of Ketu placed in the lagna shows that there will be some gains of seats and vote percentage of his party from the last elections in 2019.
