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.
Friday, Krishna Shasti, Bharani Nakshtra, Vyaghata Yoga and Gara Karana. Gulika is in Virgo



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.
Chart 2. Birth Chart of C.P. Radhakrishnan



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.
