Evaluation through Bhrigu technique

For Rahul Gandhi, the horoscope clearly indicates prestigious position, but only after
hard work and skillful planning. The position of power and authority will arrive in the
year 2008, but caution should be exercised in terms of avoiding accidents.

The technique of prediction adopted here is that of the Bhrigu Nadi, where the
importance is given to the Rotation of Jupiter and other aspects related to the star
lord, sub-lord and their impact on the other planets. Further, in this predictive
technique, the current transit, as well as the Progressed chart are intermingled,
which form the basis of the prediction. Jupiter, as per Bhrigu system, is construed to
be in a Sign for 12 years and that Sign is taken as the ascendant. The transitory
position will be super-imposed.

Significance of the Birth-star

The Moon, in the case of Shri Rahul Gandhi, falls in the nakshtra of Jyeshta.
Jyeshta’means ‘the eldest’. It also refers to an umbrella, which gives protection. The
native possesses, “a sense of arriving or becoming”. The energies of those born in
this nakshtra are channelized in such a way that their activities are perceived by
others in the right perspective. They usually mature quickly, both physically and
mentally. They have a streak of vindictive tendency. They are protective towards the
weak, helpless and the under-privileged. Depression can set in, when the
circumstances do not allow constant activity of some kind. Mercury is the planetary
ruler of this nakshrta and hence all the energies are focused in the mind (intellect).
Such people are born to take care of the masses.

Bhrigu technique of Rotated Jupiter

Rahul Gandhi has completed his 35th year and entered the 36th. During the period
of 36 to 48, the Rotated Jupiter will be in Capricorn. It received the aspects of the
natal Venus from the second house. Rotated Jupiter occupying the house of Saturn
becomes intrinsically weak to act and, therefore, it derives strength from the natal
Venus, which is aspecting it. The aspect of Venus of Capricorn and the Rotated
Jupiter will be the key factors during this 12 year period. It, therefore, shows that
the noticed will be able to understand politics and do all that is required to be
successful. The dispositor of the Rotated Jupiter is Saturn (the planet signifying
democracy, politics etc), which is in the house of Mars natally, in debilitation , but
gets strength from Mercury next to it in Taurus. In the natal chart, Saturn derives
major strength from Rahu, which is posited in the 11th (Aquarius) from it. Mercury in
front of the natal Saturn, will make the native plan meticulously and Rahu in the
11th from the natal Saturn will give the required execution skills. So he will be able
to, not only plan things meticulously, but also executed and think in a big way.

Moon and Mercury

As per the Bhirgu Nadi techniques, Moon is posited in the 11th from the Rotated
Jupiter. Transit Jupiter is behind the natal Moon, in Libra. This shows help from this
mother. Natal Moon also placed in the 7th from Mercury as per my research, Mercury
becomes very strong as Moon always helps Mercury, though the vice-versa may not
be true. Therefore, Mercury gets strength from Moon.

Political Prospects

The years 36 and 37, as per the Nadi system, would be the period where the native
would plan his future course of action. He will also have problems in dealing with
people around, but would be able to manage issues successfully. The year 37-38
would be the period, when he has to deal with negative forces and situations where
he would, by his intellect and planning, be successful.

In the years 38 and 39, the native will be able to achieve his objectives and would be
at the peak of his career in the 40th year. He will be definitely saddled in an
extremely comfortable position by the age of 39-40.
