After a dramatic political development in Madhya Pradesh Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan took the oath of chief minister for the fourth time. I personally consider Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan and Raman Singh to be the most successful chief ministers in the last two decades in India. These two leaders from the BJP brought Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh on the path of development though earlier these two states were among ‘BIMARU’ (Sick)  states. Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan was first became chief minister of Madhya Pradesh in November 2005 and lost his position after three consecutive terms in December 2018 when his party BJP remain behind from Congress by a narrow margin of seats. Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan had done very clean politics throughout his career and he perhaps would have been feeling regret in the manner BJP has now come into power from the back door by using her infamous ‘Operation Kamal’. This is astrologically reflected in the oath taking horoscope of Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan where in Tula lagna (Libra ascendant) we have Mars and Saturn in the fourth house of throne of the ruler.

Oath Taking Horoscope of Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan

23 March 2020, 21:00 hours at Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal 

77 E 24′ and 23 N 16′ 

Tithi: Krishna Amavasaya, Vaar: Monday, Nakshatra: Poorva Bhadrapada , Yoga: Shukla, Karana: Chatushpada

Ideally Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan would have liked to take oath of office after Chaitra Shukla Pratipada during ‘Nava Ratri’ but then due to corona virus health emergency he would have been forced by the BJP central leadership to take the office at the earliest. Amavasaya Tithi is not ideal for any auspicious work but it is consider good to wage a war. Immediately after taking his oath Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan said that his first priority would be to control corona virus in Madhya Pradesh at the earliest.

1. Libra Sign is consider good for Swearing in as it is ‘Shirsodaya Rashi’ i.e a sign which rises from the head. The Navamsha is a fixed sign Aquarius which is good. The lagna lord Venus aspect the lagna and Navamsha lord Saturn is in the lagna which is also good.
2. The Moon as the 10th lord is in 6th house of struggles but since it is in ‘Gaja Kesari Yoga’ as Jupiter is in Kendra from it so there is a strength in it. In Navamsha Moon is in Cancer sign which is also good. Moon is in ‘Shubha Karatari Yoga’ as two benefic planets are on the either side of it.
3. The 7th lord Mars is exalted and it is with 4th and 11th lord Saturn so his opposition Congress Party will always remain very hostile against him.
4. His party BJP has defected 24 Congress MLA’s who will have to fight elections after their resignations. BJP would require to win at least 9 seats to save his government after this by-elections to be held within six months. Shiv Raj Singh is likely to save his government this year but then after July 2022 when transiting Saturn will move into Aquarius and Ketu will reach in Aries over Venus then his government may fall.

Horoscope of Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan

5 March 1959, 11:54 hours at Sehore, Madhya Pradesh

I got the information about Shiv Raj Singh Chouhan from a senior astrologer in Gujarat who told me that his birth time is between 11:00 am to 12:00 noon (5 March 1959 at Sehore, Madhya Pradesh). It could be either Aries or Taurus lagna. I found Taurus lagna to be more appropriate considering a very good Raja Yoga of Venus and Mercury in the 11th house. He rose to prominence during Jupiter dasha (1998 to 2014) in the politics of Madhya Pradesh. But every since dasha of Saturn has started he has faced troubles. Saturn being in the 8th house from Janma lagna and 12th from the Moon has to keep him on his toes. But then 8th house is the house of conspiracy and from the 8th house Saturn aspect the 10th house of power.

In Gemini-Aries Chara Dasha (3 December 2018 to 3 September 2019) he lost power after BJP not being able to come back to power during assembly elections. See the Amatayakaraka Venus is in the 12th house from Aries. But now he has get back to the position of chief minister again during Gemini-Pisces dasha (September 2019 to June 2020). But he needs to be very careful during his fourth term as chief minister as transiting Saturn in Capricorn over his natal Moon and then Rahu going to transit over his ascendant in Taurus sign from September this year will bring lots of hurdles for him including some health issues in the next 2 years.
