Justin Trudeau, the 23^rd Canadian Prime Minister, is perhaps the most handsome world statesman we have at present. He proudly call himself a ‘feminist’ and during the general elections in 2015 he branded his Liberal Party as a champion of women’s rights. This gave him huge popularity and he led his party to a stunning victory then getting 184 out of 338 seats with 39.5% of popular vote for a strong majority government. The Liberal Party gained 150 seats more as compare to 2011 general elections riding on the wave of the charismatic personality of Trudeau who comes from a famous political family of Canada. His father Pierre Trudeau was the third longest serving prime minister in the Canadian history, having served for 15 years and 164 days.

Last year Justine Trudeau was on the official visit to India in the third week of February. It was one of the weirdest state visit to India considering the fact that Trudeau was given a cold shoulder by the Indian Prime Minister Narender Modi then. It is said that Modi did not welcome him with much warmth because of  Trudeau’s closeness to Khalistan movement supports- including those in his cabinet. Indian establishment was concern with some suspicious characters linked with Trudeau in the Canadian politics.

Longitude 75W 42’ and Latitude  45N 25’

Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Mercury 7 years 10 months and 26 days

The presence of two Parivartan Yoga’s (exchanges) is the striking feature in Trudeau’s horoscope. The exchange between the 4^th lord Mars and 8^th lord Jupiter is although a ‘Khala Yoga’ but since benefic Mercury is with Jupiter and Moon is with Mars so this yoga here become auspicious. From Chandra lagna this yoga is an exchange between the lagna and 9^th houses which is good.

Now see the Parivartan yoga between the 10^th lord Venus and 6^th lord Saturn. This yoga generally give struggle in career but here the 6^th lord Saturn is getting the aspects of Jupiter and Mercury both. As per Varahamihira the Jupiter and Mercury giving aspect to any house or planet give him strength. If we see this exchange from Chandra lagna then it involve the 3^rd and 11^th houses which becomes favorable.

Then we have 5^th lord Jupiter in conjunction with 2^nd and 11^th lord Mercury making a good ‘Dhana Yoga’. When Justin Trudeau was born his father was prime minister of Canada. He is the second child in the Canadian history to be born to a prime minister in office.  Now see some of the important life events of Trudeau explained astrologically with the help of various Varga charts using Parashari techniques.

Birth of Younger brothers: For the birth of siblings see the 3^rd and 11^th houses. The Mars and Jupiter are the Karaka of siblings (brother-sisters). In Mercury-Rahu Dasha in Vimshottari his younger brother Alexandre was born on 25 December 1973. Mercury is the lord of 11^th house of siblings. Rahu is with the 3^rd lord Venus. In Dreskan the same combinations is repeating where Leo is rising with Mercury becoming the lord of 11^th house. The 2^nd younger brother of Justin Trudeau was born on 2 October 1975 when Mercury-Jupiter in Vimshottari was running. Jupiter is the Karaka of siblings itself.

Divorce of Parents: The 3^rd house in Rashi chart  is seen for relationship between the parents. The 3^rd house is the 12^th from the 4^th house of mother and it is 7^th from the 9^th house of father. If the 3^rd house and its lord is afflicted and Dwadamsha chart has bad 1/7 axis then parents of a native can have very bad relations. Justin Trudeau’s parents publically announced their separation on 27 May 1977 when he was just 5 year old. See the aspect of Mars, from the 8^th house, on the 3^rd house of Trudeau in Rashi chart. The 3^rd lord Venus is in the 6^th house of disputes with Rahu in close degrees. In Dwadamsha the lagna and seventh house is afflicted by malefic planets. The lagna lord Mars in Dwadamsha is with 12^th lord Venus and Rahu showing lack of happiness from parents. In the Vimshottari Dasha of Ketu ( November 1979 to November 1986) the divorce of Trudeau’s parents was finalized in April 1984. Ketu is in the 12^th house of Rashi chart and in Dwadamsha it is in the ascendant getting the aspect of Mars which is 6^th lord also.

Justin Trudeau’s father Pierre Trudeau (born October 1919) was 30 year older than his wife Margaret Joan Trudeau ( born September 1948). Later Justine Trudeau’s mother remarried and had 2 more children. Now notice the Rahu conjoined with 3^rd lord Venus in the horoscope of Justin Trudeau showing his parents unconventional marriage in which his mother was 30 year younger than his father. In Dwadamsha the Rahu-Ketu axis is on the 1/7 houses of Trudeau showing this unusual marriage of his parents.

Death of Father: Justine Trudeau’s father  Pierre Trudeau died on 28 September 2000. It was during the Vimshottari Dasha of Venus-Saturn in Justin Trudeau’s horoscope. Venus is the lord of 3^rd house which is a ‘maraka’ house for father as it is the 7^th from the 9^th house. Saturn, the Anter dasha  lord, is in the 10^th house which is the 2^nd house from the 9^th house of father. Now see these Dasha lords from the Sun which is the natural Karaka for father. The Venus is in the 2^nd house from Sun. The Anter dasha  lord Saturn is the lord of 2^nd house from Sun becoming ‘maraka’. In the Dwadamsha chart, where the Scorpio lagna is rising,  Venus here become the lord of 7^th house and Saturn is in the 9^th house of father. So the event of the death of his father is astrologically explained here.

Death of brother: Trudeau’s younger brother Michel died at the age of 23 in an avalanche on 13 November 1998. Michel ( born on 2 October 1975) was the youngest son of Justin Trudeau’s father who was alive then. It was Venus-Jupiter in Vimshottari in the horoscope of Justine Trudeau. Venus is the lord of 3^rd house of siblings. Venus is also the lord of 8^th house from Moon and  the Mars the Karaka of brother/sisters. The Anter dasha  was of the Jupiter which is placed in the 4^th house a ‘maraka’ for younger brother as it is the 2^nd from the 3^rd house of younger brother. In Dreshkkan  the Venus is afflicted by Saturn and Rahu. The Anter dasha  lord Jupiter is in the 12^th house of losses under the aspect of 7^th lord Saturn showing this tragedy with his younger brother.

Marriage: Justine Trudeau married Sophie Gregoire, a former television host, on 28 May 2005. It was the Dasha of Venus-Mercury in Trudeau’s horoscope. Venus is the natural Karaka for marriage and the Anter dasha  lord Mercury is the lord of 2^nd house. The 2^nd lord Mercury in Rashi is with 5^th lord Jupiter and is in mutual aspect with 7^th lord Saturn showing his love marriage during its Anter dasha . In Navamsha Mercury as the lagna lord is placed in the 7^th house is amply explaining his marriage then. Trudeau married after completing the age of 34 which is a case of delayed marriage. Saturn giving aspect to the 7^th house in Rashi and Navamsha explains this amply.

Birth of Children: In the following Dashas of Sun and Moon, after marriage, Trudeau become father of 3 children. Sun is in the 5^th house and the Moon is getting the aspect of 5^th lord Jupiter in Rashi chart. In Saptamasa chart Sun and Moon both are in the 5^th house of children getting the aspect of 5^th lord Saturn there. So the maha Dasha of Sun and Moon has to give him happiness from the birth of children. His first son Xavier (  18 October 2007) was born in Sun-Mars in Vimshottari, second child a daughter Ella-Grace ( 5 February 2009) was born in Sun-Jupiter Dasha and third a son Hadrien ( 28 February 2014) was born when Trudeau was passing by Moon-Mars in Vimshottari. The Anter dasha  lords are Mars and Jupiter which are taking the trine lordship in Trudeau’s Rashi chart showing birth of his children.

Winning election and becoming Prime Minster: The conservative party led by prime minister Stephen Harper was in power from February 2006 to November 2015. During this period Justin Trudeau was in the opposition in the Canadian parliament. He worked hard to get his Liberal party back in power with full majority in the Canadian general elections in November 2015. Trudeau sworn-in as the prime minister of Canada on 4^th of November 2015 when Moon-Jupiter period ( October 2015 to February 2017) was running in his horoscope. Moon is in good ‘Veepreet Raja Yoga’ as it is the lord of 12^th house placed in the 8^th house. As per some traditional astrologers of Uttarakhand and UP the Veepreet Raja Yoga’s and Neecha Bhanga Yoga’s give their full benefic results when the lagna and Moon are strong. The strength of lagna, Moon sign and their lord has to be present in the chart for the fructification of these yogas.

In the horoscope Trudeau the lagna is strong as it get 32 points in Sarvashatavarga. The lagna lord Sun is in friendly sign Sagittarius and is in ‘Shubha Kartari’ yoga. Sun is flanked by benefic planets on either side of it. Moon is the strongest planet in ‘Shadabala’ in Trudeau’s horoscope with impressive 9.81 Rupas of Bala. So the Moon’s Veepreet Raja Yoga has to give Trudeau the most auspicious results.

Canadian General Elections in 2019: Now the upcoming Canadian general elections are schedule to take place on or before 21^st of October this year. Trudeau is getting tough challenge from Conservative Party’s Andrew Scheer. But with the rise of New Democrat led by Jagmeet Singh the votes are likely to get divided. This will give benefit to Trudeau’s Liberal Party. Trudeau is running with Moon-Mercury from 20 September  2018 to 20 February 2020. This Vimshottari Dasha of Moon-Mercury in the horoscope of Trudeau will get him reelected. Mercury as the lord of 2^nd and 11^th house is with 5^th lord Jupiter. As per a Parashari rule any planet getting an aspect or conjunction with 5^th lord gives auspicious results. In Dashamsha chart Moon becomes the lord of 9^th house and Mercury is getting the lordship of 11^th house of gains. Mercury in Dashamsha is conjoined with lagna and 6^th lord Mars showing a tough competition which Trudeau has to face.

In Jaimini Chara Dasha the period of Pisces is running from December 2016 to December 2020. The Pisces having the Amatayakaraka Moon and Darakaraka Mars is good for Trudeau. The period of Pisces-Sagittarius from August 2019 to December 2019 is promising in Trudeau’s horoscope. The Anter dasha  sign Sagittarius is getting the aspect of Amatayakaraka Moon.

Now see the annual horoscope of Trudeau which also gives very positive indication.

The annual horoscope of Trudeau for completed year 47 has ‘Dwi-Janma’ lagna rising. In Tajik if the Janma lagna rises in annual horoscope or Varsha Kundali then that condition is called ‘Dwi-Janma’ which is a very important year for a native. In Leo lagna annual horoscope the benefic Jupiter and Mercury are giving aspect to the 10^th house of power. The Muntha is in 12^th house with its lord Moon getting the auspicious aspect of Jupiter. This condition will give Trudeau to get reelected as Canadian prime minister but with reduce majority. So Justin Trudeau can again led his Liberal party to victory in the Canadian general elections but this time his numbers in the parliament will be lower than last elections in 2015.
