After completing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process of the voter list in Bihar, the Election Commission has announced the election dates. Voting for the 243-member Bihar Assembly will be held in two phases on the November 6th  and 11th respectively, and the election results will be declared on November 14th . In the assembly elections held in October-November 2020, the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) won 125 seats in a closely fought contest, while the opposition Grand Alliance (Maha Gathabandandhan) had to settle for 110 seats.  The BJP strengthened its position within the NDA, winning 74 seats, while the Janata Dal United (JDU), led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, had to settle for only 43 seats then. 

Former political strategist Prashant Kishor has entered the election  fray with his new party, “Jan Suraj,” to challenge the big names in Bihar politics. From an astrological perspective, the available horoscopes of the Jan Suraj Party, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Chirag Paswan, and the Leader of the opposition Tejashwi Yadav make this Bihar assembly election very interesting. 

 

Prashant Kishore’s Jan Suraj could spoil the game for the ruling NDA 

Last year, on October 2nd , 2024, on the day of Gandhi Jayanti, Prashant Kishore announced the name of his new party at 4:05 pm in Patna. Former election strategist Prashant Kishore had earlier launched a statewide Padayatra (political mass out reach on food) on the  October 2nd  in year  2022, from the Gandhi Ashram in Champaran, the site of Mahatma Gandhi’s 1917 Satyagraha (non-violence movement) , and he had then received strong public support. 

Chart 1. Horoscope of Jan Suraj Party

Prashant Kishore chose October 2nd  as a political symbol for the party’s founding, which was good from the perspective of the political messaging due to the  birth anniversary of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. However, according to the astrological calculations, a solar eclipse was occurring on that day. Although not visible in India, but  the transit of planets effects on the eclipse day was no auspicious. The  Sun and the  Moon were afflicted by Ketu on the new moon day, making it an astrologically inauspicious time for any major undertaking as per the Muhurata rules. 

In the horoscope of the Jan Suraj Party (Chart 1)  with Aquarius ascendant is rising.  The conjunction of the Sun, Mercury, the Moon and Ketu in the eighth house (obstacles and suffering) is a sign of failure in work. However, due to Jupiter’s aspect on this planetary conjunction from the fourth house, Prashant Kishor’s party will win some seats and may spoil the game for the ruling NDA and also some other parties. 

The aspect of 2^nd and 11^th lord Jupiter on the Moon is a saving grace here. But since the Moon is afflicted by natural malefic planets Mars, Saturn and Ketu in the Navamsha of Jan Suraj Party so it has become weak. In mundane astrology the Moon is the karaka (significant) of public opinion. During the Vimshottari Maha  Dasha of this weak Moon and the Anter Dasha  of Rahu running from October 2024 to April 2026 the Jan Suraj Party will get very moderate success only. Some controversies and a violent attack on its leaders can’t be ruled out during this Dasha period mentioned. But since Anter Dasha lord Rahu is strong in Rashi, Navamsha and also in Dashamasa charts so with decent percentage of votes party can make its presence felt in some pockets of the state in Bihar assembly polls in November month.

 

Chirag Paswan will achieve satisfactory success 

Chirag Paswan, son of former Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan and a film actor, currently holds the position of Union Minister in the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre. In the last assembly elections, Chirag Paswan’s Lok Jan Shakti Party contested 135 seats, winning only one seat. Born in Madhubani, Bihar, at 12:15 pm on the  January 31 the,  1982, Chirag Paswan’s horoscope has the Moon in Pisces sign and it  is in Kemadruma Yoga. Kemadruma Yoga is formed when there is no planet other than the Sun alongside the Moon, one house ahead of, or behind it.

Due to this Kemadruma Yoga Chirag Paswan faced resistance from his uncle and former Union Minister Pashupati Kumar Paras regarding his political legacy during the Maha Dasha of  the Moon (January 2019 to January 2029) . Currently, under the Anter Dasha of Mercury in the Maha Dasha of the Moon is running in the birth chart of  Chirag Paswan, who is contesting elections on 29 seats while being in NDA. There are  astrological indications that he will get satisfactory results this tine. Due to the Shadashtak relationship of 6/8 of the Moon and Mercury, he may also suffer unexpected losses on some seats due to internal sabotage. A noticeable point in his chart is a good Raja Yoga of the 5th and 10th lord Venus in conjunction with the 9th lord Mercury in the 10th house of political power. 

 

Nitish Kumar may take a surprising decision after the election results 

 

Nitish Kumar was born on March 1st , 1951, at 1:20 pm in Bakhtiyarpur. In his Gemini ascendant horoscope, Rahu in the Bhagya Bhava (house of fortune) is forming a powerful Rajyoga with the Karmaesh (lord of the 10th house), Jupiter, the lord of the ascendant (lagnesh)  Mercury, and the third lord (ally) the  Sun. Rahu’s involvement in the Rajyoga makes him a seasoned player in the coalition politics, who can often surprise his opponents with his political acumen. The debilitated Moon in Scorpio in the sixth house weakens his opponents in front of his political moves. But this Moon is afflicted by the aspect of Saturn which is giving him illness and his health status is under question. Also, notice that the Moon is in Kemadruma Yoga but since it has benefic Jupiter in the 4th house from it so there is cancellation of Kemadruma due to the presence of a Gaja Kesari Yoga. 

Chart 3. Horoscope of Nitish Kumar

 

Since 2013, Nitish Kumar has repeatedly switched sides, sometimes to Lalu Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and sometimes to the BJP, to fulfill his political ambitions. Just three months before the Lok Sabha elections in early 2024, he once again left Lalu Yadav and the Congress,  and joined hands with the BJP to become the Chief Minister of the state. His party, the JDU, contested 16 Lok Sabha seats and won 12, defying all political predictions. The 74-year-old Nitish Kumar has been the Chief Minister of Bihar since year 2005 , and is currently a key ally of the BJP-led coalition government at the center.

Nitish Kumar’s party, is contesting 101 assembly seats is struggle due to strong anti-incumbency   and serious questions about his leader’s health issues . In the birth chart of Nitish Kumar the Vimshottari Dasha of  Rahu Anter Dasha of Venus and Pratyanter Dasha of Mercury is running from 24th of October 2025 to 3rd of March 2026.The Rahu is strongly placed in the 9th house of luck. Venus as the 5th lord and 12th lord shows change of position as 5th house being the 8th from the 10th house of career and 12th house shows retirement. Venus is also with the 6th lord Mars showing health concern’s. The sub-sub period lord Mercury as the lagna lord is afflicted with Rahu and the Sun also joing ‘Maraka’ Jupiter. But since Mercury is also the 4th lord and is in Rashi Parivartana with 9th lord Saturn so it can give some good results also. 

The founding horoscope of his ally, the BJP (April 6, 1980, 11:00 am) 45 minutes, Delhi) is also of Gemini ascendant where Moon is in Scorpio. In BJP’s horoscope, the difficult condition of Ketu in Moon indicates that the party’s performance in Bihar will be weaker than in the previous elections.

 

Tejashwi Yadav Can be the new CM of Bihar

The birth chart of Tejashwi Yadav (November 9the , 1988, 1:30 am, Patna, Bihar), the younger son of Lalu Yadav, former Chief Minister of Bihar and Union Railway Minister, differs from his official birth details. In Tejashwi Yadav’s horoscope, which has a Leo ascendant, the fifth lord Jupiter is placed in the tenth house and is aspecting the tenth lord Venus, which is in a debilitated sign in the second house of family. Due to the aspect of the fifth lord Jupiter, as well as the Yogakaraka Mars, which is in the eighth house (controversy) for his Leo ascendant, he became the Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar at a very young age in 2015, but could not hold this position for long.

Chart 4. Horoscope of Tejashwi Yadav

 

Currently, during the Mahadasha of Saturn, which is in the fifth house of ministerial positions, the Antardasha of Yogakaraka Mars, which is in the eighth house of his horoscope, is running. Mars is in his horoscope being in an exalted sign in the Dashamasha chart ,  gives astrological indications that he will get a big post. In transit the Anter Dasha lord Mars is moving into Scorpio at present which is the 4th house in the birth chart of Tejashvi Yadav’s chart. The Vimshottari Maha Dasha of Saturn Anter Dasha of Mars and Pratyanter Dasha of Mercury will be running from 28th of October 2025 to 24th of December  2025 (Saturn-Mars-Mercury period) . Mercury as the 2nd and 11th lord is in good Dhana Yoga with the lagna lord the Sun. In Navamsha Mercury as the 9th lord is making a Raja Yoga as it is in mutual aspect with lagna lord Venus. Thus, Tejasvi Yadav can become chief minister of Bihar this time during his favorable Anter Dasha of Mars and Pratyanter Dasha of Mercury  in Vimshottari. 

In the founding horoscope of his ally Congress Party (January 2, 1978, 12 noon in Delhi), Saturn, the lord of the 11th house in the Pisces ascendant, is in an auspicious position in the sixth house. With the satisfactory performance of his allies, Tejashwi Yadav may become the Chief Minister after a close contest in this year’s Bihar Assembly elections.
