Mr. Rahul Gandhi in the mirror of his relative`s horoscope.

!!Shri!!

There are various methods in Vedic astrology to ascertain the Moon sign and star of certain relatives from the horoscope of any native.

The horoscope of Mr. Rahul Gandhi is disputed. There is a different opinion regarding his birth time. Some astrologers consider it as 5/50 early hour of the date 19/06/1970, and other takes it after sunrise or even at about noon. However, his birth date, 19/06/1970, and place, New Delhi undisputed. On the given date, the Moon star Jyestha and sign Scorpio were running up to 10/45 hours, and after this, the Mula star and sign Sagittarius were in operation.

Now let us search his Moon sign and star, taking help from the horoscopes of his close relatives. In this process, we shall examine the horoscopes of his father, Mr. Rajeeva Gandhi, his mother, Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, and his sister, Smt. Priyanka Gandhi.

In this pursuit, we shall apply the following rules of astrology.

1-    Take the house representing a certain relation as the 5^th house for the son and the 11^th house for the elder brother.

Take the Navamsa sign of that certain house lord, the moon sign may be trine to it for a certain relation.

Or the aspected sign by that house lord may also be his moon sign.

B-    We shall also apply this rule to the natural and Char Karak planet of said relation.

2-    Add the longitude of the ascendant lord to the house lord in concern. The resultant sign or its Navamsa sign may be the moon sign of the relative represented by that house.

B-    Add the longitude of Atmakarak to the Char Karak, representing a certain relation. The resultant Rasi or its Navamsa sign may be the moon sign of the relative represented by that Char Karak.

-         We shall also consider the sign occupied by certain house lords and the trine sign in the Rasi chart (D-1) for a safe conclusion, though more emphasis is given to the Navamsa position in the textbook of astrology. We shall also provide more weight to the Navamsa position, but not ignoring all the positions of the Rasi chart, though the decisive factor is the strength of that planet in the Rasi or in the Navamsa chart. The judging process of the strength of planets is not always so easy and conclusive, often leading to confusion. So we shall provide 60 marks to the navamsa position and 40 marks to the position of Rasi chart. In actual practice, it often follows the Navamsa position, but sometimes also according to the Rasi chart.

-         Secondly, we shall consider the 7^th trine signs also in the safest way, as if the said lord posited in an odd sign, then we shall consider all the odd signs, and if the said lord posited in the even sign, then we shall consider all the even signs. A planet is always an aspect to the 7^th sign from it, and the trine sign also may provide the same result according to the rules of astrology. Hence, it is logical to consider the 7^th trine signs. Here we have to finalize only the one from Scorpio and Sagittarius. So if we get odd or even sign as a result, then his moon sign will be clear; and once the moon sign becomes final, the moon star will automatically be concluded.

1-    First of all, let us examine the horoscope of Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, the mother of the native and the most reliable and authentic relation. The native is her first child. Her birth details and horoscope are as under-

09/12/1946, 21/30 hour at Turin (Italy); the time zone of the place is +1/00 hour and no daylight saving scheme observe.

Monday, K-2, Shubha Yoga and Taitil Karan

Ascendant 3-23/58, the 5^th house- 7-16/12 as per the method of Sripati             Atmakarak – Sun, Putra Karak-Moon

A-    Applying rule one, the 5^th lord Mars is posited in an odd sign in both Vargas. It occupied the sign Sagittarius in the D-1 chart, not aspecting the sign Scorpio and sign Aries in the D-9 chart. The sign Sagittarius is a trine sign from the sign Aries. The Mars aspects the sign Scorpio in the Navamsa. So we can’t draw any conclusion from the D-9 chart, but the probability of odd signs is higher in the D-1 charts. Hence, we will provide all 40 marks of the D-1 chart to the sign Sagittarius and 30-30 marks out of 60 for both signs of the D-9 chart.

The score is – Sagittarius 40+30=70

                         Scorpio= 00+30=30

(By the way, the second child of the native comes under the significance of the 7^th house, and the marriage partner also comes under the control of the 7^th house. In this case, the 7^th lord Saturn is posited in the Scorpio sign in the Navamsa diagram and aspecting the sign Leo by its 10^th aspect. So the Moon sign of her second child (Priyanka) is Scorpio, and the Moon sign of her spouse was Leo.)

b- The natural Karak for children is Jupiter and posited in an odd sign. In both Vargas, aspecting sign Sagittarius in the D-9 chart is an extra plus point for sign Sagittarius. There is no aspect of the sign Scorpio in both Vargas.

Hence the score is- Sagittarius= 70+ (40+60) =170

          -Scorpio= 30+00 = 30

c- The Putra Karak planet is the Moon and is posited in the odd sign in both Vargas. The aspect of the sign Sagittarius in the D-1 chart and position over the sign Sagittarius in the D-9 chart is an extra plus point for the sign Sagittarius. There is no aspect of the sign Scorpio in both Vargas. Hence, the score is-

Sagittarius- 170+ (40+60) = 270

Scorpio – 30+00 =30

B-    Now applying the second rule-

a-     The 1^st lord Moon 2-9/51 and the 5^th lord Mars 8-1/10, adding together we get = 10-11/01 the sign Aquarius with Capricorn Navamsa. The odd sign with the even sign in the Navamsa. So we will provide 40 marks to the sign Sagittarius and for the sign Scorpio 60 marks. Hence, the score is -   

Sagittarius= 270+40=310

      Scorpio= 30+60=90

b-The Atmakarak Sun = 7-24/04 and the Putrakarak Moon= 2-9/51; adding together we get = 10-3/55 the sign Aquarius with Scorpio navamsa; again odd sign with even Navamsa. Now the score is-

Sagittarius-310+40= 350

Scorpio- 90+60=150

The sign Sagittarius has an astonishing augment over the sign Scorpio. Hence, we can safely conclude his Moon sign is a Sagittarius sign and not the sign Scorpio, from this horoscope.

1-    Now, let us examine the horoscope of Mr. Rajeeva Gandhi, his father. What was in vogue, his horoscope of Leo ascendant is wrong, and the horoscope of Virgo ascendant is correct. I have written a write-up on this matter, and the same has been placed in the EST of November 2010 issue.

20/08/1944, 9/22/31 hour, wartime at Mumbai (18N58 & 72E50)

Sunday, S-2, and Shiva Yoga

Ascendant= 5-01/30; the 5^th house= 9-01/37

Sun=4-3/52; Moon=4-17/43/43; Mars=5-01/13; Mercury (AK) = 4-28/35; Jupiter (PK) = 4-12/13; Venus= 4-18/43; Saturn=2-14/13 and Rahu=3-4/24

A-    Now applying rule one-

The 5^th lord in this horoscope is Saturn, and it is posited over the sign Gemini, in the D-1 chart, and in the D-9 chart, it is seated over the sign Aquarius. In the D-1 chart, it is at an odd sign, additionally aspecting sign Sagittarius, and the sign Scorpio is totally out of seen, but in the D-9 chart, though it is posited at an odd sign, but aspecting sign Scorpio by its 10^th aspect. So the Navamsa position of Saturn became neutral, so either we can distribute fifty-fifty marks to both signs out of 60 marks, or provide zero marks to both signs. Providing marks-

Sagittarius= 40

Scorpio = 00

b- The natural and Char Karak for children is the same in this case, and that is Jupiter. So, especially for this point, we must provide double the marks as 80 for D-1 and 120 for the D-9 chart.

The Jupiter posited at sign Leo aspecting sign Sagittarius and the sign Scorpio is out of context, in the D-1 chart, but in the D-9 chart, it is posited over sign Cancer, aspecting sign Scorpio, and the sign Sagittarius is totally out of the situation. Providing marks-

Sagittarius= 40+80= 120

Scorpio = 00+120 =120

B-    Now applying the second rule-

The 1^st lord, Mercury = 4-28/55, and the 5^th lord, Saturn = 2-14/13; adding together we get =7-12/48, the Scorpio sign with Libra Navamsa; an even sign in Rasi and an odd sign in the Navamsa. Providing marks-

Sagittarius= 120+60 = 180

Scorpio = 120+40 =160

b- The Atmakarak is Mercury 4-28/35 and the Putrakarak is Jupiter = 4-12/13; adding together, we get 9-10/48, the Capricorn sign and Aries Navamsa; the even sign in Rasi and an odd sign are also trine from Sagittarius in the Navamsa. Providing marks-

Sagittarius= 180+60 = 240

Scorpio = 160+40 = 200

Here is also the sign that Sagittarius has some weight over the sign Scorpio.

1-    Now let us examine the horoscope of Mrs. Priyanka Gandhi, his junior sister. Her birth details and horoscope are as under-

12/01/1972, 16/42 hours at New Delhi

Wednesday, K-12, Ganda Yoga and Kolava Karan

Ascendant= 2-15/30; the 11^th house= 06/48;

 Atmakarak Sun and Bhratrakarak (brother karak) = Moon

A-    Applying rule one-

The 11^th house stands for elder siblings, and her 11^th lord, Mars, is posited in the sign Pisces in the D-1 chart, and in the D-9 chart, it is seated over the sign Sagittarius. Here also, the sign Sagittarius has one plus point as the 11^th lord is exactly posited in it in the weightier D-9 chart. Providing marks to both signs as per our rule. The sign Scorpio is a trine sign from the position of D-1 chart, so it gets 40 marks, and the sign Sagittarius gets 60 marks as occupied by the 11^th lord in the D-9 chart. Hence, the score is-

Sagittarius= 60

Scorpio= 40

(If we consider the 3^rd house for siblings, whether elder or junior, then the 3^rd lord Sun posited in the sign Sagittarius in both the Vargas.)

a-     The natural Karak for brother is Mars, and the result for it same as above, as we have already examined its position in the form of the 11^th lord. So the score is –

Sagittarius= 60+60=120

Scorpio= 40+40= 80

(If we consider the planet Jupiter as a signification for elder brother, then its position in the odd signs in both the Vargas and having position and aspect over the sign Sagittarius will provide all the 100 marks to the sign Sagittarius.)

b-    The Char Karak for brother is Moon. It is posited over the sign Scorpio in the D-1 chart and at the Libra sign, an odd sign, in the D-9 chart. Here sign Scorpio may get a plus point as occupied by the Karak planet, but in the D-1 chart! Providing marks as per our scheme.

Sagittarius= 120+60=180

Scorpio = 80+40 =120

Now applying the second rule-

B-    The 1^st lord, Mercury 8-7/29 and the 11^th lord, Mars 11-17/22; adding together, we get = 7-24/51, the Scorpio sign with Aquarius Navamsa. The even sign in Rasi and the odd sign in Navamsa. Providing marks as per our scheme-

Sagittarius= 180+60 = 240

Scorpio = 120+40 = 160

b- The Atmakarak, Sun= 8-27/53 and the brother Karak, Moon= 7-10/44; adding together we get=4-08/36, the sign Leo with Gemini Navamsa. Here the even signs are totally out of seen. The additional plus point in favor of the sign Sagittarius is that the sign Leo is trine to it, and the sign Gemini is 7^th from it. Providing marks-

Sagittarius= 240+ (40+60) = 340

Scorpio = 160+00 = 160

Here also, the sign Sagittarius has a remarkable augment over the sign Scorpio. Hence, we can safely conclude his Moon sign as a Sagittarius sign and not the sign Scorpio, from this horoscope as well.

Observing the above three cases, we can say the Moon sign of Mr. Rahul Gandhi is Sagittarius, and the birth star is Mula. His birth time above 10/45 hours is indicated.

On account of some other astrological reasons, I can say his birth time is in the 3^rd portion of the day if we divide the whole day into three parts, and it is surely daytime. His birth ascendant may also be an odd sign or at an extreme junction of an even sign.
