Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Ketu 5 Years 4 Months and 14 Days
This is the horoscope of Shri Inder Kumar Gujral. Notice the position of Moon here as it is in Kemadruma Yoga. Although there is an interesting Gajakesari Yoga, involving the 8th house and the 8th lord , is also present here. He got the Vimshottari dasha of Moon from 19 April 1951 to 18 April 1961. The Vimshottari dasha of Moon trapped in Kemadruma Yoga marked with the period of struggle for young Inder Kumar Gujral who’s family had to left their properties and business in Karachi after the partition of British India. He was living with his family in a two room rented house at Karol Bagh in Delhi then. Notice here the lordship of Moon, which is a functional malefic for Sagittarius lagan as it is the 8th lord. Nevertheless, since Jupiter is in the Kendra (Square) from Moon so it has to give him some sort of dignified career. In 1957 during Moon-Mercury period in Vimshottari he made his political debut by winning the NDMC (New Delhi Municipal Corporation) election and become the vice President of its committee. In year 1958 he joined the Congress party in the Moon-Mercury period. Noticeable point here is that Mercury is in a very good Raj Yoga in the Rashi chart. So the Kemadruma yoga gave him the initial struggle but since Jupiter was in Kendra from Moon, so he got a dignified start of a career during this Moon dasha period.Continue Reading
