Special Combinations for Political Power by Iranganti Rangacharya

Article by Sri Iranganti Rangacharya

We know two world-known ladies, Mrs. Indira Gandhi and Queen Elizabeth II, who have inherited the most covetable political supremacy, one by franchise to the premiership of India and the other by continued succession to the throne of England. What are the rare yogas par excellence in their horoscopes? Do their heirs, Rajeev Gandhi and Prince Charles also possess such yogas to succeed?

Chart 1 belongs to Mrs. Indira Gandhi, born on 19-11-1917 at 11:12 p.m. with birth ascendant of 27˚6’ Cancer.

Graha Sampatti: The Sun – Anuradha 1; The Moon – Uttarashadha 3; Mars – Pubba 1; Rahu – Moola 4; Jupiter – Rohini 2; Saturn – Aslesha 2; Mercury – Anuradha 3; Ketu – Aridra 2 ; Venus – Poorvashadha 4.

Yogas, par excellence:

1. Jaimini aphorism No. 25 in the 3^rd pada of the 1^st chapter enunciates an extraordinary Rajayoga which is found significant in the horoscope of Mrs. Indira Gandhi. Mercury, known as Yogada, by his aspect on Janma (natal) Navamsa and Drekkana (decanate) Lagnas in three respective charts causes a powerful Rajayoga to her. Such a Rajayoga makes the native a king or equal enjoying royal honours, power, wealth etc. The yoga of political supremacy is signified by the association of the political planet, the Sun with Yogada Mercury.
2. Yogada Mercury forms Tripadargala Rajayoga. This yoga is formed by Mars and the Moon in the 4^th and the 11^th Argala places coinciding with fixed and cardinal signs respectively, from Mercury, the Yogada planet.
3. A powerful Rajayoga is formed by Jaimini aphorism No. 30 by equal number of benefics in the 2^nd, the 4^th, and the 5^th reckoned from Atmakaraka. Here Atmakaraka is Saturn who is in Makara (Capricorn) Navamsa. The Moon, Venus and Jupiter are in the 2^nd, the 4^th and the 5^th respectively from Capricorn.
4. The yoga leading to minister ship is also present in the horoscope of Mrs. Indira Gandhi. According to Jaimini aphorism Nos. 32 and 35 the yoga forms when Jupiter, Venus or the Moon occupies the 5^th house reckoned from either the lord of Lagna or the lord of the 7^th house. Here lord of Lagna, the Moon, is in Capricorn while Jupiter is in Taurus the 5^th from Capricorn. But the yoga is all the more confirmed because of its presence in the Navamsa and Drekkana charts also. Navamsa Lagna is Scorpio, whose lord Mars is in Leo. The Moon in Sagittarius the 5^th from Leo causes Mantritwa yoga. Drekkana Lagna is Libra. The 7^th house lord Mars is in Scorpio. The Moon in Pisces, the 5^th, confirms the yoga leading to ministership. We find such yogas par excellence in her horoscope according to Jaimini. According to Parasara, there are three Parivartana Yogas:

• Exchange of the Moon and Saturn, lords of Lagna and its 7^th.
• Exchange of the Sun and Mars, lords of the 2^nd and the 5^th.
• Exchange of Jupiter and Venus, lords of the 6^th and the 11^th.

These yogas are normally deemed to be inferior to the Parivartana Yogas of the 9^th and the 10^th lords. But if we look into the table of Jeeva Sareera structure, we will be surprised to find the Parivartana Yogas of Jeeva Sareera planets on ten bhavas. Only the 7^th and the 8^th bhavas are expected.  Such a number of Parivartana Yogas is deemed to confer on the native a unique position, royal honour and repute. According to Jaimini aphorism, leya labhayoh pare kala, Mrs. Indira Gandhi is certain of enjoying the yogas in the latter part of her life and therefore her continuance as premier is undoubted for the rest of her life.

Chart 2 belongs to Queen Elizabeth II of England born on        21-4-1926 at 1:40 p.m. (GMT) with birth ascendant 11˚ of Leo.

Graha Sampatti: The Sun – Aswini 3; The Moon – Aslesha 3; Mars – Dhanista 2; Rahu – Punarvasu 3; Jupiter – Dhanista 2; Saturn – Visakha 4; Mercury – Uttarabhadra 3; Ketu – Uttarashadha 1; Venus – Poorvabhadra 1.

Here also Janma, Navamsa and Drekkana Lagnas in the three respective charts are aspected by the same two planets viz., Mars and Jupiter. Janma Lagna in Rasi chart has the aspect of its lord, the Sun who is exalted, besides the aspect of exalted Mars and debilitated Jupiter. Thus Janma Lagna has the aspect of two exalted Atmakarakas, viz., the Sun (Nitya) and Mars (Anitya). The exalted Sun is Aries, the cardinal sign forms Poornargala Rajayoga by the Moon, Ketu and Venus in the 4^th, the 9^th and the 11^th Argala places coinciding with cardinal, dual and fixed signs respectively. Thus we come to know that Rajayoga in the horoscope of Queen Elizabeth are superior to Rajayogas found in the horoscope of Mrs. Indira Gandhi. And it is evident that Queen Elizabeth occupies the highest position as the monarch of a powerful country by succession and without the least botheration and struggle. She enjoys all the royal honours, comforts, luxuries, etc., and has a peaceful routine of life, answerable to none. The yoga leading to premiership present in the horoscope of Mrs. Indira Gandhi is not found in the horoscope of Queen Elizabeth. Both Raja and Mantirtwa yogas, present in the horoscope of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, make her not only enjoy the fruits of Rajayogas, but burden her with the rule of a big country, while Queen Elizabeth by her Rajayogas alone is free from the burden of ruling the country. Parivartana Yogas of Jeeva Sareera planets on the ten bhavas [more than those (6 bhavas) of Queen Elizabeth] make Mrs. Indira Gandhi world famous towering as the Premier of the world’s largest democracy.

Such yogas par excellence are not present in the horoscopes of Mr. Rajeev Gandhi and Prince Charles.

Chart 3 belongs to Rajeev, born on 20-8-1944 at 9:50 a.m. (W.T.) with birth ascendant of 8˚11’ Virgo.

Graha Sampatti: The Sun – Makha 2; The Moon – Pubba 2; Mars – Uttara 2; Rahu – Pushyami 1; Jupiter – Makha 4; Saturn – Aridra 3; Mercury – Uttara 1; Ketu – Uttarashadha 3; Venus – Pubba 2.

Janma Lagna is aspected by Saturn who does not aspect Navamsa and Drekkana Lagnas. But Navamsa and Drekkana Lagnas are aspected by the same planet, Jupiter. Hence Rajayoga is formed. This yoga does not suffice to elevate Mr. Rajeev to the position of a minister, as Mantritwa Yoga is absolutely absent in his chart. Instead he has the yoga of a commander by Saturn and the Sun, the malefics in the 3^rd and the 6^th reckoned from Karakamsa, Sagittarius.  The political planet is in his own house in Rasi chart, and exalted in Drekkana chart. The Sun so strong, happens to be both Jeeva and Sareera of Lagna and Dasama Bhavas. The conjunction of Venus and the Moon is present in all the three charts, valid for Vahana Yoga.  So in view of the status of the yogas mentioned above Mr. Rajeev may at best become a Governor, but never a Minister.

Chart 4 belongs to Prince Charles, born on 14-11-1948 at 9:14 p.m. (GMT) with birth ascendant of 12˚16’ Cancer.

Graha Sampatti: The Sun – Visakha 3; The Moon – Aswini 3; Mars – Jyeshta 4; Rahu – Aswini 4; Jupiter – Moola 3; Saturn – Makha 4; Mercury – Swati 3; Ketu – Swati 2; Venus – Chitta 1.

Janma Lagna and Navamsa Lagna are aspected by the same planet Mars. Mantritwa Yoga is formed by Jupiter if the 5^th from Saturn, Lord of the 7^th house in the Rasi chart. This yoga is not present in Navamsa and the Drekkana charts. Two planets Venus and the Sun are debilitated, while the debilitation of Venus (the planet for luxuries) is cancelled. There are two Parivartana Yogas of Venus and Mercury on the 5^th and the 10^th Bhavas of Jeeva and Sareera. And Venus influences Sareera of seven Bhavas. In view of the meagre yogas for elevation to royal supremacy, there are meagre chances of his becoming the King of England, despite his eligibility to succeed the throne.

Note:

1. Constellation lord of the Planet is Jeeva. Lord of the sign occupied by Jeeva is Sareera.
2. The Navamsa charts are erected on the principle of counting direct for odd signs and reverse for even signs, valid for Jaimini system of prediction.
3. Drekkana charts for the first two horoscopes are erected by Somanath design of Parivritti Traya Paddhati valid for female horoscopes. Drekkana charts for the next two are according to Parivritti Traya Paddhati.
