Donald Trump: Will he be the next President of USA? While Trump’s horoscope fulfils this Raja yoga combination with Jupiter running its Mahadasa now, one can find a rare combination occurring in relation to his natal positionsatthe time of election (8th November 2016). The author use this to forecast trump win or loss.

A

s the US Presidential election is hotting up, all eyes are on Donald Trump, the Republican candidate. For someone who seems to be in the thick of controversies all the time thanks to his bad mouthing or loud mouthing or call whatever you want, the kind of steady increase in popularity ratings that he is gaining so suddenly and recently, puts him in a unique category of notable personalities which any researcher in astrology would wish to check through his horoscope. A brief history of his life is needed to be known before proceeding to analyse his horoscope.

Background Born in a rich family engaged in real estate business, Trump entered business at a young age of 25. His involvement in that business started even earlier than that – during his student years -andit looks that his background and his own interests are tailor- made for business, particularly those related to martian significance. Only the sky, or rather the skyscraper is the limit for Trump as he expanded his construction and real estate business across four continents.

Success in his ventures made him one among the world’s Billionaires in the Forbes list. After having The astrological emagazine

tasted success in business, he ventured into arts and films from his 58th year onwards, where also he made a name for himself. True to human nature, his next venture followed a course that can best be understood

by Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Having fulfilled his needs at professional life by heading business empires, Trump is left with another need, rather a desire to rule a real empire/country.

From his 42nd year onwards, (Moon dasa-Ketu bhukti), he has been trying to garner support to run for President-ship of the USA and/or Governor-ship of New York, but without success. Only from his 66th year onwards, he was able to get attention of others from his own party. At that time he was running his Rahu Dasa. But only after his Jupiter Maha dasa started this October 2016

year (2016), he got nominated as Presidential candidate by his party for the upcoming election on 8th November 2016. But the kind of campaign style in the nature of polarising voters by means of hate speeches and tantrums on the one hand and appealing to the aspirations of the masses to regain the American Dream on the other is something new and selfcontradictory to the average American. Seen in this backdrop what his horoscope says makes an interesting venture.

The foremost combination in his horoscope that catches one’s eye is the axis of the nodes with all the planets in between them. Though this is generally understood as Kalasarpa dosha, what is seen in Trump’s horoscope is Kalamrutha yoga as Ketu is in front of Lagna. This yoga is supposed to make the native rise high in life. Though classical texts do not talk about this yoga, this kind of combination such as the one in Trump’s horoscope is much talked in classical texts.

It is the lunar eclipse combination. The classical texts treat this as something bad for the native.

The native born during an eclipse is supposed to suffer from ailments, distress and poverty besides facing danger to life. (BPHS – 91-1-14). Curiously none of these were experienced by Donald Trump. When we check the eclipse data at his birth time, it showed that there was no eclipse in his place of birth as it was mainly visible in Asian countries. Therefore the inauspiciousness of birth during eclipse is ruled out as also the affliction by nodes as in Kalasarpa dosha.

12 October 2016

Role of Nodal Axis The eclipse-like axis in Trump’s horoscope comes with Rahu having crossed his lagna lord Sun in Taurus where Rahu is exalted. At the other extreme Moon has just crossed Ketu in Scorpio where Ketu is exalted.

This has made the Kalasarpa dosha redundant as Moon has come to the other side of the axis. But Moon is in close conjunction with Ketu almost within one degree thereby giving rise to a disturbance to Moon (mind) by Ketu. Examining his horoscope we find that he had Ketu Maha dasa early in his life that ended in his 10th year. He had behavioural problems during that period. Trump himself has said in an interview that he was a ‘pretty rough fellow when he was small’.

Effect of Ketu- Moon Conjunction The effect of Ketu on mind was manifest in Ketu dasa and not in Moon dasa. His Moon dasa was marked by a number of acquisitions and successful business dealings in real estate and construction sector. This was between his 35th year and 45th year (March 1981 to March 1991). This shows that by and large Moon had remained unafflicted by Ketu but had instead reflected the raja yoga conferred by the sign dispositor Mars which is also a raja yoga causing planet and posited in the lagna. In addition, Moon has attained digbala and naisargikabala and has high bindus (31) in the sign where it is posited.

Businessman under the Spell of Mercury The common refrain of many people is the way Trump is talking erratically and changing his words very often.

This can be traced to Moon in close conjunction with Ketu, but could also be a planned strategy as Moon is in the star of Mercury, the karaka for communication with business acumen. Mercury is the lord of 2nd and 11th houses and scores high in sthanabala in having occupied its own house. Trump’s success in business could not have come without the help of Mercury which has 30 bindus in its sign of occupation.

The astrological emagazine

Mercury also happens to be the 10th lord from both navamsa lagna and karakamsa. From the 10th Navamsa it is posited in the 9th house receiving the aspect of dhanakaraka Jupiter. In the Rasi chart also, Mercury occupies the 10th house from the Dhana bhava which has dhanakaraka Jupiter posited there. Another feature is that Mercury is the sub lord of the 10th cusp thereby having a larger impact on Trump’s life in his profession.

His current venture into politics also has the influence of Mercury as Mercury is the sign dispositor of the current dasa lord Jupiter. This means behind all his obnoxious talks and hate speech, there is the underlying influence of Mercury, the communicator whose sole aim is to seek success somehow. This makes it possible that Trump is deliberately making those talks with the one-point goal of getting success in his current venture in politics. This has nothing to do with Moon (his mind) or non-dependability on thinking power given by Moon. He could not have become so successful in business all these years if his Moon is functionally afflicted.

His Mercury-mind is evident from his comment on some of his projects that had gone bankrupt. He said that he was not disturbed by that as he knew how to play with bankruptcy laws to his advantage in trimming down his debts. He has openly stated how to make use of the loop holes in law to ensure that his business runs well. Thus Trump’s mind is fully dominated by Mercury’s business tendency which is also evident now in his campaign style for the Presidential elections. He says whatever suits him to grab support.

One example for this tendency in the current political campaign is evident from the mincing of words after meeting the Mexican President on who has to pay for the wall along the Mexican border. On his return from Mexico after meeting its President, Trump denied any talk on who will pay the bill for the wall. But the Mexican President refuted this claim. This shows that whatever Trump talked was for domestic consumption and was not true. This arises from two features in his horoscope, one the domination of business minded Mercury and two, the Rahu-Ketu axis running through 10th house taking along with them the Sun (atmakaraka) and Moon ( amatyakaraka). The axis lends cunningness and deception in his thoughts and action.

Effect of Rahu- Sun Conjunction The next feature of his nodal axis is the conjunction of Rahu with the Sun. In normal perditions, this means that the significances of Sun would be affected by Rahu. Father is the main significance of Sun and the next most important one is Government. Trump gained a lot through his father and his father lived long enough until Trump was 53 years of age. But once Rahu dasa started, it marked the end of his father’s life. This means that the affliction caused by Rahu to Sun was manifest in Rahu dasa and not in Sun dasa which he was running in his early 30s.

The Sun dasa was however marked by investigations into alleged malpractices in his projects. So Sun as a signifactor for Government related contacts did not favour him in its dasa. However he was bailed out or supported by his father during that period which helped him to rise steadily in his success ladder. This shows that Sun being the lagna lord posited in the 10th kendra having digbala, kalabala and naisargikabala and 6 bindus in its own ashtakavarga and 34 bindus in the sign where it is posited (Taurus) was highly beneficial to him despite odds in Sun dasa. This is besides Sun’s role as the atmakaraka.

But the same trend was not given by Rahu dasa which was within 2 degrees distance from the Sun. Soon after Rahu dasa started, his father died. But he had a blessing in disguise in his demise as it resulted in inheriting a huge amount left by his father. He cleverly used to expand his business in Rahu dasa. Three houses are noted for inheritance upon death of the father. The 9th house stands for father; what is given by father is seen from the 10th house. The inheritance gained through death of the ancestor is seen from the 8th house.

In Trump’s horoscope, 9th lord Mars is the yoga karaka for his Simha lagna. It is posited in Simha lagna whose lord Sun is in the 10th house and reached maximum distance as atmakaraka. Thus the beneficial inheritance in terms of fixed assets (Taurus, the 10th house is a fixed sign and Mars is the bhumikaraka) is seen. The inheritance upon death of father (8th house which is vyaya of the 9th house of father) is owned by Jupiter, the dhanakaraka. It is positioned in the 2nd house of dhana from where it is aspecting both the 8th house and the 10th house. All the planets involved (Rahu, Sun and Jupiter) are in the star of Mars. Thus Rahu dasa was marked by growth of his empire through his inherited assets.

However Trump could not make any progress in the field of another important significance of Sun, namely gaining a political foothold. His desire to make a mark in politics grew only in Rahu dasa, due to the influence of Rahu’s axis in the 10th house where Sun attained digbala. Until them he was satisfied with his real estate business. Rahu dasa also pushed him into show business in which he was successful. But politics was not coming his way until Venus Bhukti started in Rahu Maha dasa (April 2011). It must be noted that Venus is the sign dispositor of Rahu and the 10th lord.

Is Political Power Indicated?

This is a million dollar question which will be analysed here step by step.

1. The Rahu-Ketu axis having Sun and Moon in conjunction in respective nodes happens in 4th and 10th houses. This is a powerful and beneficial kendra as far as Sun and Moon are concerned as both these luminaries enjoy digbala and naisargikabala. The Sun and the Moon also happen to be atmakaraka and atyakaraka respectively.

They are in the same conjunction with the nodes in 1-7 axis in the navamsa which is also a beneficial kendra, though it smacks of a cunningness in getting his goals accomplished. With the end of Rahu dasa in March 2016, the uncertainty and opposition to his nomination for President’s post has ended. It was only after Jupiter mahadasa started, he got nominated as the presidential candidate of his party. The current dasa of Jupiter is beneficial as it aspects Rahu-Sun combine in the 10th house. In return the exalted Rahu casts its 5th aspect on Jupiter.

2. From the point of view of karakamsa, Sun in the karakamsa lagna is empowered in two ways. It is the lagna lord posited in the 10th house. It is in the star of warrior Mars which is the yogakaraka and an occupant of Lagna owned by Sun. This gives him fighting tendencies in getting into the top position. Sun joins Rahu in Karakamsa and this association with Rahu makes him to live like a warrior – by having to fight with someone or on some issue. In other words he would continue to remain controversial forever. But this association with Rahu lends him an element of deception in his dealings. This means he may not mean what he promises now.

He is likely to change his stance if he is power.

3. Role of Mars: Mars has played a big role in his life both as a yogakaraka and as a badhaka for Simha lagna.

By owning a kendra and a kona for Simha lagna Mars ensures success in his ventures. Its location in the lagna enhances its power to do the same. Mars in lagna with lagna lord Sun in the 10th in Rahu-Ketu axis gives him success in politics after much fighting. Its navamsa position is beneficial 9th house. continued on 38

Donald Trump: Will he be the next President of USA? (continued from 14)

From its position in the lagna Mars aspects the 4th house which is its own house. His house, surroundings and luxuries have never been at peril. By aspecting Moon in the 4th house, Mars has removed the debility of Moon and transformed it to confer raja yoga which was evident in Moon dasa. By aspecting Ketu in the 4th, it has inculcated martian blood into Ketu. The result is that while Moon had behaved like its star dispositor (Mercury) and sign dispositor (Mars), Ketu has taken up the badhaka nature of Mars in its major periods and sub periods. Trump was rude and violent in his Ketu mahadasa. Ketu had caused bankruptcies in its sub periods. The mahadasa of Mars was also marked by bankruptcies of some of his projects.

Thus we find a dichotomy in the way Mars behaves.

While it had benefited him by his significances, it had hurt him with losses during its periods and sub periods.

Good news for Trump is that both his Ketu and Mars mahadasas are over. Its sub period in the current Jupiter Mahadasa is more than a decade away.

4. The 10th lord is Venus which joins Saturn, the 10th lord from the 10th (bhavath bhava). This is a rare and important combination which makes Venus and Saturn to work hand in glove in helping him earn his living. This combination happens in the 12th house. This has in no way reduced his success in his profession, but made an impact in his marital relationships. Venus in 12th joined with 6th and 7th lord Saturn gave him more than one wife and relationship problems. But as planetary combination hemmed in between Mercury and Mars, they had helped him in his business in real estate. They are in vargotthama and positioned in 11th Navamsa that denotes profits. What is crucial at the current juncture is that they are in the star of Jupiter, the current dasa lord. This ensures that his success-run must continue whichever be his occupation now. It so happens that politics is his current occupation.

5. A continuing special feature of his horoscope is that the 6th house receives the aspect of SaturnVenus combine from one side and also the 5th aspect of the 5th lord Jupiter. 6th house stands for adversaries. By getting aspected by these planets related to his profession and money, it has become 38 October 2016

the norm for Trump to gain from adversities and enemies. If only his opponents and media had chosen to ignore him, he would not have gained attention. But destiny would have it that more the enemies he has, more he gains.

6. With these background yogas playing a role in his political career, we have to look for raja yoga combinations that can give him ruler-ship. There is one as per Brahma Rishi Vakhy . It says that if any one among the lagna lord, dhana lord (2nd lord) and dharma lord (9th lord) is situated in a kendra to Moon while Jupiter gets lordship of the 5th house (possible only for Leo lagna and Scorpio lagna), one gets Akanda Samrajya Yoga. Trump has Lagna lord (Sun) and Dharma lord (Mars) in kendras to Moon. Jupiter is the 5th lord. Thus the rule for Akanda Samrajya Yoga is fulfilled in Trump’s horoscope. In addition the 2nd lord Mercury is the star dispositor for Moon and sign dispositor for Jupiter. It is in mutual aspect with Jupiter in the Navamsa. The 12th Navamsa position of Jupiter is not a drawback as it is in the 12th to karakamsa lagna. The retrogression of Jupiter in Rasi is also not a drawback as far as Trump is concerned as it results in strengthening Jupiter. Mars as star dispositor of Jupiter further makes Jupiter fearless and ad ant in talks (2nd house position of Jupiter).

A variation of this Raja yoga is mentioned by Dr. B. V. Raman as the 262nd yoga in his book Three Hundred Important Combinations. It says that when one among the lords of 11th, 9th, and 2nd houses is in a kendra from Moon with Jupiter getting lordship of 2nd, 5th or 11th house, the native becomes a great man or a respected ruler. In Trump’s horoscope, 9th lord Mars is in kendra to Moon and Jupiter is the 5th lord.

While Trump’s horoscope fulfils this Raja yoga combination with Jupiter running its Maha dasa now, one can find a rare combination occurring in relation to his natal positions at the time of election (8th November 2016).

The above chart gets Mercury (2nd 11th lord + business acumen) in mutual aspect with Mars, the yoga karaka and is reinforced with nodes that shift backwards.

Jupiter the 5th lord also joins them. The success in business is ascertained from this.

On the election day all planets get hemmed in between the nodes – an Ketu axis that is kendra to his Moon November 8, natal position of the 2016 Mars Rahu nodes. Mars is exalted in the natal 6th house which Saturn is aspected by Saturn and Sun Jupiter Venus Mercury Jupiter as in natal chart.

Jupiter the current dasa lord is transiting its natal sign from where it is aspecting exalted Mars in 6th house and also aspecting natal 10th house. The Rahu – Ketu axis which was in 4-10 axis in natal chart comes to 1-7 kendra in transit on that date with Moon joining Ketu in the star of Mars during the day. Thus the transit of Jupiter in natal position and nodal axis in lagna kendra are likely to serve as trigger factors for manifestation of Raja yogas of his horoscope.

Saturn and Venus in North joining Moon and attracting Sun in the South indicate his karma in Rajneeti too!

The association of 10th house planets lend support to Sun as a professional politician.

The Karmic journey as indicated by Saturn also needs to be examined as follows.

The directional position of the planets in his horoscope can be rewritten as follows.

North Ketu Moon Saturn Venus W e s t

Mercury

Mars

Jupiter (R) Rahu Sun South

The astrological emagazine

E a s t

Taking the life’s journey from Saturn, the karma planet the line-up is as follows.

Saturn => Venus (10L) => Mars (real estate) =>(<= Jupiter + Rahu) => Sun => Mercury (<= Ketu) => Moon.

This can be deciphered as follows: The karmic mission of Saturn went after the 10th lord Venus which indicated customer or end user related goods and arts (in TV, Hollywood, Ms USA pageants that he promoted) and Mars related projects in land and construction. Dhana karaka Jupiter and Rahu in the star of Mars proceeded towards this karmic mission of Trump. Once after getting satisfied in these ventures, his mission turned towards Sun –i.e., politics.

There again his business mindedness of Mercury dominated and carried this goal forward. Upto this we have witnessed Trump’s life.

What comes next is Ketu, the gyana karaka towards him. Sometime soon this would dominate him, meaning to say that wisdom would overtake him and he would mellow down his belligerence.

Till this all the planets were within Rahu-Ketu nodes.

Now the last planet is Moon that has escaped the nodal axis. His entire journey that would gain wisdom from Ketu would end up with Moon factor. Moon stands for change and thought and in his horoscope it is the Amatya karaka. If voted to power, Trump would dump his crazy talks and thoughts and would settle down for wiser ideas. The Moon which made him think in controversial ways due to its conjunction with nodal axis, would behave well as he moves further in his life. A transformation of a ruthless and self-centred business man into a thinking person is what his entire life is going to be about.

This is good news for everyone within and outside the USA for that means Trump as President is not a liability for the Americans and not a threat for outside world.

Will Donald Trump be the Next US President ?

Vastu cum Vedic Astrology Analysis | Bangalore Niranjan Babu

D

onald John Trump the Republican US Presidential candidate for 2016 elections. He is a businessman, television personality, author and politician He is the chairman of The Trump Organization, which is the principal holding company for his real estate ventures and other business interests. With a bachelor's degree in economics from the famous Wharton School of Pennsylvania Univerisity, Trump worked in his father's real estate and construction company. Trump is credited with building skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, golf courses and more across USA, South America, Europe and Asia. He is listed as the world's wealthiest 500 billionaires by Forbes. His presidential campaign has received extensive media coverage and international attention.

In the absence of Hillary Clinton's accurate birth details, we will analyze Donald Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horoscope from a simple Vastu related analysis and see if he can ascend the US Presidential Chair.

Donald Trump was born on 14th June 1946 at 10.54 am at Jamaica, New York. His lagna (ascendant) is The astrological emagazine

Simha (Leo) with the lagnadipathi (ascendant lord) Sun in the 10th house in Taurus with Rahu. His Janma Rasi (Moon sign) is Vrschika (Scorpio).

This means Moon is in debilitation while the nodes Rahu and Ketu are in exaltation. His 5th lord Jupiter is placed in the 2nd with retrograde strength.

Looking at the gochara (transits), Rahu is in the 10th from his Scorpio Moon while Jupiter is in the 11th.

Jupiter's transit is favorable and receives strength as the 5th lord from lagna.

Janma Rasi Scorpio relates to the directions North and East - Intelligence (wealth) and Royalty. The togetherness of these two directions is Northeast ruled

by Jupiter. His lagna is Simha and relates to North October 2016

and West - Intelligence and hard work. The togetherness of these two directions is northwest or Moon.

He is running Jupiter Maha Dasa (major period) and Jupiter bhukti (minor period). This denotes the importance of northeast - wealth, wisdom and the public - and northwest - thinking and planning - during the election time.

Northeast known as Eashanya (space of god) and North (Kubera, god of wealth) become important on the day of election November 8th. Transit Jupiter also becomes important and relevant since he will be in the 11th house from Moon. In the Navamsa transit Jupiter will be in 7th from the Moon stationed in Pisces sign. The three planets Jupiter, Rahu (and Ketu) and Sun become important and consequently the three directions northeast, southwest and east become his strengths at the time of elections.

Let us consider the shape of his birth place Jamaica, New York. Southwest (Rahu) and Northwest are

strong while the northeast (Jupiter) has grown. The shape is Vastu appropriate and he therefore gets winning strength because of his birth place.

Let us now consider the Vastu strength in relation to the Presidential seat he is trying to ascend. Washington is in the of northeast of America. This too is indicative of compatibility with his friendly directions.

Summing up, Donald Trump's intelligent, aggressive (sometimes hurtful) but well thought of planned campaign is likely to give him the edge. Mercury, the sign dispositor of the dasa/ bhukti lord Jupiter gives him the necessary oratorial skills to make him a winner. Vastu cum Vedic astrology analysis indicates Donald Trump to be the next US President.
