Assembly elections in the northern state of Uttarakhand are expected to be held in February 2027 for 70 legislative seats. In the last assembly elections in February 2022 BJP has won 47 seats with impressive 44.30% of votes while the opposition Congress Party has got only 20 seats with 37.9% of votes. The ruling BJP led by chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami is highlighting the implementation of Uniform Civil Code (UGC) in the state. They are also banking on the up-gradation of pilgrimage and tourism management for ‘Panch Kedar Yatra’. But the opposition party Congress is raising issues of law and order, inflation and cost of living, poor health care and education infrastructure etc. The oath taking horoscope of chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami indicate that his government will fail to get re-elected in Uttarakhand assembly elections 2027.
Before we study the oath taking horoscope of chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami let’s see the foundation horoscope of Uttarakhand state first.
Chart 1. Foundation Horoscope of Uttarakhand State


The state of Uttarakhand was carved out of Uttar Pradesh on 9 November 2000. The hilly state is popularly known as ‘Devbhoomi’ due to existence of ancient Hindu temples and many pilgrimage centers which includes Haridwar, Kedarnath, Badrinath, Yamnotari, Gangotari etc. In the Cancer lagna foundation horoscope of Uttarakhand State (chart 1) the lagna lord the Moon is in the 9th house of religion and it is in mutual aspect with 5th and 10th lord Mars which is placed in the 3rd house of pilgrimage. This major Dhana Yoga has great potential for Uttarakhand to have revenue from religious tourism.
The lord of the 9th house is Jupiter which is Vargottama and retrograde in the 11th house of gains but since it is associated with 7th and 8th lord Saturn so it also shows controversies and environmental issues due to overflow of religious tourist in the state. The Vimshottari Maha Dasha of Ketu is running from July 2022 to June 2029 indicating problem of law and order as Ketu falls in the 6th house along with 11th lord Venus. The greed of local politicians, builders and land mafia has damaged the traditional nature beauty of this green hilly state over the last few years.
The Ketu Dasha and Jupiter Anter Dasha in Vimshottari is running from June 2026 to May 2027 shows public protest and strife against the government policies as Ketu is in the 6th house along with functional malefic Venus. From the Moon Ketu is in the 10th house along with the 8th lord Venus showing change of the government. The Anter Dasha lord Jupiter is with 8th lord Saturn in Rashi. In Navamsha Jupiter is with Rahu is forming classical ‘Chandal Yoga’ in the 4th house of ruler’s throne. Thus, the incumbent chief minister Pushar Singh Dhami is likely to face troubles in his political campaign due to issues of corruption and law & order problems in the state.
Chart 2. Oath Taking Horoscope of Pushkar Singh Dhami 2.0


Pushkar Singh Dhami has assured office on 4 July 2021 and late he got re-elected in February 2022 after his party won assembly election in the state. However, during his second tenure he faced troubles right from the beginning as the case of ‘Ankita Bhandari Murder’ by the Vantara resort ownder Pulkit Arya the son of BJP leader Vinod Arya (refer link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Ankita_Bhandari) raised questions on the situation of law and order in his administration. This murder case of a young girl gained much publicity in national and state media due to the use of political power in an attempt at rape by coercion. Notice the afflicted Venus in the 7th house of the oath taking horoscope of Pushkar Singh Dhami government (chart 2)explaining the story astrologically.
Venus as the 4th lord is in the 7th house with two hard malefic Saturn and Mars. Also, Rahu and Ketu are in Kendra which is making square with the Venus. All the hard malefic planets in Kendra are highly inauspicious in the oath taking chart of chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. Adding to the miseries the lagna lord Moon is in Mrityu Bhag degrees and it is also in its sign of debilitation.
Pushkar Singh Dhami had taken oath for his office on Wednesday, Krishna Shashti, Anuradha Nakshatra, Siddhi Yoga and Gara Karna. As per Vriddha Vashita Samhita ‘Rajaya Abhishek Prakrana’ oath taking on the day of Tuesday and Wednesday should be avoided for the oath taking ceremonies.
In Navamsha of the oath taking again we have all the hard malefic planets (Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Ketu) are in the Kendra which is very inauspicious.
Unfavorable Transit at the time of elections
The transiting Rahu will be in Capricorn right over the natal 4th lord Venus in the oath taking horoscope of Pushkar Singh Dhami at the time of the assembly elections in February 2022. In the Vimshottari Dasha of Mercury Anter Dasha of Mercury and Pratyanter Dasha of Mars in the oath taking during January-February 2027 a major set back is foreseen for chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. Mercury is the lord of the 12th house from the lagna of the oath taking chart and it is lord of the 8th house from the radical Moon. Thus, the bad lordship of Maha Dasha lord Mercury in the oath taking chart from the both lagna and the Moon can give a major loss to the chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami who may himself fail to win his own election. The Maha Dasha and Anter Dasha lord Mercury is badly afflicted in Navamsha of his oath taking shows a major loss.
In my study of oath taking horoscopes i have not seen a leader taking oath of office on Tuesday and Wednesday with malefic in Kendra getting re-elected. Sometime they even fail to complete their tenure due to some misshaping or an unfortunate event. The cases of Lal Bahadur Shastri oath taking (9 June 1964, 11:20 a.m. at Delhi), Oath Taking Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy 2.0 ( 20 May 2009, 18:32 hours at Hyderabad, Andhra Prades) and Oath Taking Mamata Banerjee 3.0 ( 5 May 2021, 10:45 hours at Calcutta, West Bengal) are some of the noteworthy examples which erudite readers of the subject can check.
Thus, as per the foundation horoscope of Uttarakhand State and the oath taking horoscope of Pushkar Singh Dahmi it is highly likely that his party will lose election in early 2027 and the opposition party Congress I is likely to come back into the power of Uttarakhand state.
