Karna: Taitila

At the time of the oath taking of president Ram Nath Kovind the Libra sign was rising which is consider very auspicious as it is a ‘Sirisodaya’ Rashi and is the sign of a benefic Venus. However, the day Tuesday and the Nakshatra Magha are inauspicious. Magha is a ‘Kroora’ (malefic) Nakshatra.

1. Ram Nath Kovind’s oath taking in malefic Nakshatra Magha indicates political disturbances during his tenure. The Moon in Rahu-Ketu axis is also very inauspicious.
2. The lagna lord Venus in the 8th house receiving the aspect of retrograde Saturn and the 6th lord Jupiter also indicates controversies during the presidency of Ram Nath Kovind.
3. However, the exchange of houses between the 10th lord Moon and the 11th lord Sun shows that he will be very active and swift in decision making at office. Unlike his predecessor Pranab Mukharjee he will not spend most  of the time in Delhi but travel across the country.
4. In both Rashi and Navamsha the 10th lord and the 12th lord are conjoined together. It is a combination which will make him the most proactive and found of travelling during his tenure as the president of India.
5. Sun and Mars at the 10th house will make him more political in the office rather than ceremonial president like his predecessors.

Congress party put an objection in the Raja Sabha (Upper house of Indian Parliament) on the maiden speech of President Ram Nath Kovind in which he ignored India’s first prime minister Jawahar Lal Nehru and compared Mahatama Ghandhi with Deen Dayal Upadhyaya who had not contribution in the freedom struggle of India. In coming year president Ram Nath Kovind is likely to create more controversial occasions is what suggested by his oath taking chart.  Kovind is going to act more like a president of BJP than the president of India which will create a rift between the opposition and the government during his tenure.
