As per my teacher Shri K.N. Rao the Maha Dasha period of Saturn is generally considered very good for politicians in democracy. Saturn is the natural karaka (significant) for the democratic process. If Saturn as the Kendra (angle) or Kona (trine) lord is connected with the Kendra house/houses then such Maha Dasha of Saturn can give lots of success to the politician concern. In the horoscope of Mr. C.P. Radhakrishna the candidate for the Vice President election from the BJP this rule appears to be working perfectly. In the Scorpio lagna horoscope of C.P. Radhakrishna the Maha Dasha of 4th lord Saturn has given him good success ever since it has started in his horoscope in December 2022.
In a mysterious political development in the third week of July this year , the then Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar surprised everyone by submitting his resignation to the President Draupadi Murmu. 74-year-old Jagdeep Dhankhar’s tenure as Vice President was till 2027 but citing health reasons he suddenly resigned from his post. Now on the 9th September, members of both the houses will vote for the election of the Vice President of the country. BJP has fielded C.P. Radhakrishnan, who comes from Tamil Nadu of South India and has an RSS background. Radhakrishnan has been made the Vice Presidential candidate, while the Congress-led All India Alliance has declared B Sudarshan Reddy, who has retired from the post of Supreme Court Judge, as its candidate.
C.P. Radhakrishnan was born on 20th of October 1957 at 9.35 a.m. in Tirupur, Tamil Nadu. In the Scorpio Ascendant rising C.P. Radhakrishnan’s horoscope, all the planets are situated in the tenth house, eleventh house, twelfth house and ascendant respectively. If all the planets, except Rahu-Ketu, which are shadow planets, are in the 10th, 11th, 12th and 1st houses, then ‘Danda Yoga’ is formed which is from the category of Nabhas Yoga’s. If planets are strong in this ‘Danda Yoga’ then such native can reach a high position after initial struggle in his life.

Weak Jupiter’s Mahadasha brought struggle
In the Scorpio Ascendant birth chart of C.P. Radhakrishnan, a good Raj Yoga is being formed in the eleventh house of gains involving Jupiter, the lord of the second house of wealth and the fifth house of minister post, along with the ascendant lord Mars which is also the lord of the sixth (struggle) house. But Since both Mars and Jupiter are in the eleventh house in the sign of their enemy Mercury in Virgo , and due to the closeness of both the planets in degrees and declination , a planetary war is being created, due to this, C.P. Radhakrishnan did not get any major success in the 16-year long Maha Dasha of Jupiter, which ran between December 2006 and December 2022.
He was a Member of Parliament from Coimbatore in the Lok Sabha elections of 1998 and 1999, but later he lost the election thrice from the same seat of Tamil Nadu in 2004 (Rahu Maha Dasha and the Sun Anter Dasha), in 2014 (Jupiter Maha Dasha and Ketu Anter Dasha) and then again in 2019 (Jupiter Maha Dasha and the Moon Anter Dasha). Noticeable point in his Scorpio lagna chart is the lord of the 10t house the Sun falls in the 12th house along with 8th and 11th lord Mercury and also Rahu which had given him lots of setbacks in his political career. The degree conjunction of the Mars and Jupiter is a ‘Graha Yuddha’ in his horoscope which diluted the Raja Yoga of the lagna lord Mars and the 5th lord Jupiter. Throughout the Maha Dasha of Jupiter (December 2006 to December 2022) he didn’t win any election personally.
But Jupiter has gone to its exalted sign Cancer in his Navamsha chart, so despite these three Lok Sabha defeats, he fought hard and in the assembly elections of 2011 and 2016, his party BJP, along with major ally in state AIADMK, performed well and gained power in the state assembly.
Saturn Maha Dasha brought great success
In the founding horoscope of BJP, the Moon is in Scorpio and it is a strange astrological coincidence that the ascendant and Moon of the former Prime Minister of BJP, late Atal Bihari Vajpayee were both Scorpio. Lal Krishna Advani, who was the Deputy Prime Minister in the Vajpayee government, had Scorpio as his birth ascendant. Now, the current Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has won three elections, has Scorpio as his birth ascendant and the Moon sign also. Now, coincidentally, the birth ascendant of C.P. Radhakrishnan, who has been elected as the Vice Presidential candidate, is Scorpio in which Saturn and Venus are sitting strongly.
But Saturn is also in a close degree conjunction with the 12th and 7th lord Venus a ‘Maraka planet’. Since Saturn and Venus are 4 degrees apart in declination so despite being within 1 degree of longitude in a Rashi they are not in a situation of ‘Graha Yuddha’. In Navamsha and Dashamasha Saturn is in the sign of Jupiter and is in good associations of strong planets. Saturn being the lord of the lagna in Navamsha and Dashamasha had made him governor of the Jharkhand state in February 2023. In March 2024 he was appointed as the governor of Telangana and later in July 2024 he took over the position of the Maharashtra Governor post.
Saturn’s Antar Dasha in Saturn’s Maha Dasha is going on in his birth chart since December 2022 in which he has been the Governor of some states including Maharashtra. In the auspicious Vimshottari Dasha of Saturn-Saturn-Jupiter, there is a good astrological possibility that C.P. Radhakrishnan will win the upcoming Vice Presidential election on September 9th, and will get this constitutional post. But the next Anter Dasha is of Mercury which is in the twelfth house of losses. In the Anter Dasha of Mercury in the Maha Dasha of Saturn the CP Radhakrishnan may have to face some health related problems and a big constitutional crisis in the year 2026. The transit of Ketu on the Moon in Leo and Saturn in the eighth house from the Moon sign is causing a baneful ‘Ashtam Shani’ which will cause some trouble to him in the year 2026.
C.P. Radhakrishnan can get elected as the Vice President but he will face difficulties and controversies in his tenure as Saturn is in Mrityu Bhag degrees and is in close degree conjunction with the ‘Maraka Venus’. Some health issues can’t be ruled out during Saturn Dasha and Mercury Anter Dasha from December 2025 to August 2028. Mercury is Vargottama but is combust by the Sun and is in the Nakshatra of lagna and 6th lord Mars which is inauspicious for health.
