In an interesting political development BJP has won the Karnataka by-elections in the second week of December recovering from the humiliation it faced in Maharashtra recently. BJP in its Mithuna lagna horoscope is under an enigmatic Moon-Rahu dasha in Vimshottari and a very big solar eclipse falling at the 7th house from its lagna is showing some concerns. The assembly elections in Jharkhand State are underway, where BJP is power, these days and its results  are going to be declared on the 23rd of December just 3 days before a big solar eclipse. The grand conjunction of Saturn-Jupiter-Ketu in Sagittarius and a big solar eclipse over it can give a set back to BJP in Jharkhand assembly elections about which i wrote recently for Navbharat Times Hindi News Paper website.

The state of Jharkhand was formed on 15th of November 2000 mid night at Ranchi (85 E 20′ and 23 N 21′) when Leo lagna was rising and Moon was in Gemini sign. The coming solar eclipse of 26th of December will fall right at the 7th house of Jharkhand State’s natal Moon and also on the 7th house of the BJP”s ascendant. Interestingly BJP’s Janma lagna is Gemini and Jharkhand State’s Moon sign is also Gemini. It is no surprise that in the last 19 years this state was ruled by BJP most of the time except for brief periods when Jharkhand Mukti Morcha’s founder Shibu Soren had become chief minister thrice and his son Hemant Soren had was also been chief minister for a brief period.

Horoscope of Jharkhand State

Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Rahu 16 years 11 months 17 days 

In the foundation horoscope of Jharkhand State the 10th lord Venus is along with malefic Ketu and is in mutual aspect with 12th lord Moon showing why this that has so many political disturbances ever since its formation. Rahu in political astrology signifies manipulations and scandals. It is only the current chief minister Mr. Raghubar Das who has been able to complete the tenure of 5 years. All other chief minister Jharkhand had were not been able to complete their terms because of political strife in the state. On three occasions this state has to come under president rule. The state was born under malefic dasha of Rahu which is with the 12th lord Moon showing this disturbances.

Jharkhand account for more than 40% of the minerals resources of the India but it suffer from ‘resources curse’ as state’s 39% of population is below poverty line. But now since Jupiter dasha has started in November 2017 the state’s GDP is progressing fast. Jupiter is the lord of 5th house which is giving aspect to the 4th and 9th lord Mars placed in the 2nd house showing economic progress which has started at good speed.

But since Jupiter is retrograde and is also the lord of 8th house conjoined with 6th and 7th lord Saturn so political disturbances in the state can not be ruled out in coming years. In Jupiter-Saturn dasha in Vimshottari from 21 December 2019 to 3 July 2022 there could be some political upheavals. The current BJP government of Raghubar Das may not return to power despite BJP becoming the single largest part in the assembly elections. The 7th house in mundane astrology signifies opposition which is now becoming activated as sub period of 7th lord Saturn is starting soon. Saturn is very strong in Navamsha chart where it is in the 10th house of power.

Solar Eclipse of 26th of December can bring change in the government in Jharkhand State. The eclipse falling at Sagittarius where natal 10th lord Venus of Jharkhand State is placed is an indication of the change in regime.

The horoscope of current chief minister Raghubar Das is not available but as per the planetary position on his date of birth (3 May 1955) he has Kanya Rashi. He is under difficult Saturn-Mars dasha in Vimshottari which can give a set-back to him. His opponent Jharkhand Mukti Morcha’s Hemant Soren has also Kanya Rashi (born 10 August 1975) and he is under Jupiter-Mercury dasha in Vimshottari. It will not be a surprise if a Maharashtra like situation be emerged in Jharkhand State. In that case Jharkhand Mukti Morcha’s Hemant Soren can become the chief minister with the help of Congress and Jharkhand Vikas Morcha’s Babu Lal Marandi.
