Astrological Indicators for a Ruler's Forced Departure: An Annual Chart Analysis
(Reproduced from Modern Astrology, Bangaluru, October 2025)
The annual horoscope of a nation (Varshaphala) can provide
critical insights into the stability of its government. Specific planetary
configurations can indicate a period of intense pressure, potentially forcing a
ruler to step down from their position. The following astrological indications,
when found concurrently in an annual chart, create such a possibility.
The Astrological Framework for an Unstable Government
A. The Weak Annual Ascendant
The strength of the annual ascendant is paramount for the
overall well-being of a nation during the year.
- Malefic
Placement: The annual ascendant becomes weak if it, or its Navamsa
sign, falls in a challenging house as counted from the country's natal
zodiacal sign. The first-rate malefic houses are the 4th, 8th, and 12th.
The 3rd, 5th, 7th (Badhaka for dual signs), and 11th (Badhaka for
movable signs) are also unfavorable.
- Afflicted
Pillars: The situation is exacerbated if the annual ascendant lord or
the annual chart's Moon is also posited in these unfavorable signs,
especially under malefic influence.
- Natal
Resonance: An annual ascendant or Moon that is longitudinally conjunct
or trine to the country's natal sign is often not a positive feature, as
it can activate latent natal weaknesses.
- General
Afflictions: Other general factors, such as cruel planetary influences
on the ascendant or its lord, or a close association with inauspicious
houses within the annual chart, also apply.
B. The Weak Annual 10th House (House of Governance)
The 10th house represents the ruler and the government. Its
connection to the 8th house (destruction, transformation) is a primary
indicator of instability.
- 8th
House Connection: The 10th house is weakened if the Navamsa of its
cusp falls in a sign that is the same as, trine to, or 7th from the Rasi
8th house sign or the 64th Navamsa sign.
- Malefic
Occupants: The placement of the lords of the 3rd, 7th, 11th, 5th,
4th, 8th, or 12th houses in the annual 10th house weakens it,
especially if they are in their own signs. Multiple aspects of such lords
in the 10th house also indicate an ill result for the government.
C. Affliction to the Annual 10th Lord
- Malefic
House Placements: The most malefic houses for the 10th lord's
placement are the 4th, 8th, 12th, and 5th. The 5th house, being the
8th from the 10th, has a "killing" nature for the significations
of the 10th house. A strong connection to the 7th house also
weakens the 10th lord.
- Secondary
Malefic Placements: The 3rd and 11th houses are second-rate
malefic placements. The position of the 10th lord in any of these
challenging houses in the Rasi, Navamsa, Trimsamsa (D-30), or Dashamsha
(D-10) chart is detrimental.
- Connection
to 8th Lord: Any association, aspect, or relation between the annual
8th lord (or the 64th Navamsa lord) and the annual 10th lord in the Rasi
or Navamsa chart is dangerous for the ruler.
D. Affliction to the Natal 10th Lord (in the Annual Chart)
The same principles of affliction described above for the
annual 10th lord must also be applied to the country's natal 10th lord, as it is
placed in the annual chart.
E. Analysis of the Dashamsha (D-10) Chart
The Dashamsha chart holds special significance for matters
of governance and status.
- The Dashamsha
ascendant lord is afflicted if it is placed in the 3rd, 4th, 5th,
7th, 8th, 11th, or 12th house within the D-10 chart; or if the sign it
occupies in D-10 corresponds to one of these challenging houses in the
Rasi chart; or if it is under the influence of the Rasi or D-10 8th lord.
- The natal
10th lord, if powerfully placed in the 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th
house of the D-10 chart, is a dangerous indication for the ruler's
stability.
F. The Role of Gulika
The position of Gulika is a significant maleficent factor.
- It
is harmful if it is in the 4th, 5th, 8th, 10th, or 12th sign from
the country's natal sign in either the Rasi or Navamsa of the annual
chart.
- A
placement in the 1st, 3rd, 7th, or 11th houses simultaneously in
both Rasi and Navamsa is also detrimental. The same applies if it occupies
a Dusthana (4-8-12) in one chart and a challenging house (1-3-7-11) in the
other.
- (Note:
Gulika should be determined by assuming the sun rises with its disk center
and marks the beginning moment of Saturn's Ashtamsha.)
For a significant event like a ruler's departure to
occur, a convergence of several of these factors is necessary; one or two
isolated rules are not enough.
Always
consider the speed of planets and planets in the house junction. Planets in
accelerated motion experience varying effects, positive or negative, depending
on their acceleration, as attributed to the house in which they are located.
Planets in house junctions also lose some of their strength.
Now
let us see some examples-
Case
1: Assassination of Smt. Indira Gandhi (October 31, 1984)
Smt.
Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister of India, was assassinated by her own
bodyguards on October 31, 1984. Let us analyze the annual chart of India for
that year to evaluate the astrological indications of this tragic event.
- Annual Ingress Date: February 6, 1984, at 19:17:47 IST at New Delhi
- India’s Natal Sign: Capricorn (23°20′)
- Annual Chart Details:
- 8th House Cusp: Pisces 11s- 09°33′ → 64th Navamsa Sign is Virgo
- 10th House Cusp: Taurus 1s- 08°29′ → Navamsa Sign is Pisces
Astrological
Observations:
1. Afflicted Annual Ascendant
and Moon:
o The annual Ascendant is
Leo, which is the 8th house from India’s natal sign Capricorn — a
highly inauspicious placement.
o The Moon is in Pisces,
the 3rd house from the natal sign — not inherently malefic, but not a
recommended placement.
o The combination of the 8th
Ascendant and the 3rd Moon severely weaken the vitality of the
annual chart.
2. Weakness of the 10th House:
o The Navamsa sign of the
10th house is Pisces, which is equal to the 8th house from the natal
sign, making the 10th house highly vulnerable.
o The 64th Navamsa sign is
Virgo, and it falls trine to the 10th house, thus transmitting its
malefic influence to the seat of power.
3. Affliction to the 10th Lord
(Venus):
o Venus, the 10th lord, is placed
in the 5th house along with Jupiter, the 8th lord — a
conjunction that is always ominous for matters of longevity and position.
o In the Navamsa chart,
Venus occupies Libra, which corresponds to the 3rd house from the
natal sign, and is under triple affliction from Saturn, Mars, and
Rahu — a powerful signal of adversity.
o In Trimsamsa, Venus
is in Sagittarius, the 12th house from the natal sign — another ill
placement.
4. Natal 10th Lord (Venus):
o The natal 10th lord is
also Venus, and thus all afflictions mentioned above apply doubly,
making its condition even more critical in this year.
5. Dashamsa (D-10) Chart
Analysis:
o The Dashamsa Ascendant
lord, Mars, is in the 12th house, which is detrimental.
o The natal 10th lord Venus
is placed in the 8th house of the D-10 — a fatal combination for power
and survival.
o The Ascendant of the
Dashamsa chart is occupied by malefic Saturn, indicating hardship and
obstruction.
o The 10th house is occupied
by Rahu, another strong malefic that often denotes treachery and disruption
in matters of authority.
6. Gulika’s Malefic Position:
o Gulika is Vargottama in the sign Leo,
which is the 8th sign from India’s natal Capricorn sign.
o A Vargottama Gulika in such
a critical position strongly affirms the fatal potential of the year.
Conclusion:
The
annual chart for 1984 clearly satisfies several critical conditions for a life-threatening
year for the head of state:
All
these factors converge to indicate grave danger to the ruler, which
tragically manifested in the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
on October 31, 1984.
Case
2: Death
of Lal Bahadur Shastri (January 11, 1966)
Prime
Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri passed away while in office during his visit to
Tashkent, USSR, on January 11, 1966. Let us examine the annual chart for India
corresponding to that period.
- Annual Ingress Date: February 5, 1965, at 22:28:27 IST at New Delhi
- India’s Natal Sign: Capricorn (23°20′)
- Annual Chart Details
- 8th House Cusp: Aries, 0s- 22°13′ → 64th Navamsa Sign is Libra
- 10th House Cusp: Gemini, 2s- 22°42′ → Navamsa Sign is Aries
Astrological
Observations:
1. Affliction to the Annual
Ascendant:
o The annual Ascendant is exact
longitudinal trine to India’s natal sign Capricorn, which is typically not an
auspicious feature.
o However, the 8th lord
Mars (retrograde) is placed in the Ascendant and receives the aspect of
Rahu, severely vitiating the ascendant and compromising the integrity of
the chart.
2. Weakness of the 10th House:
o The Navamsa of the 10th
house is Aries, which is trine to the 8th house, and the 10th house
Gemini is trine to the 64th Navamsa sign Libra — an unfavorable
configuration.
3. Affliction to the 10th Lord
(Mercury):
o Mercury, the 10th lord, is placed
in the 5th house with Venus, the 64th Navamsa lord — an
extremely detrimental placement for the 10th lord.
o In the Navamsa chart,
Mercury is in Aries, which corresponds to the 8th house, a house of
death and danger.
o In the Trimsamsa chart,
Mercury falls in Leo, which is the 12th house trine to the 8th
and is under the aspect of the 8th lord Mars — compounding its
affliction.
4. Natal 10th Lord (Venus):
o Venus, the natal 10th lord
and also the 64th Navamsa lord, is placed in the 4th house (Chalit) and
in the 5th house (Rasi). Both positions are structurally weak for a 10th
lord and indicate vulnerability.
o Moreover, its position at a house
junction (between 4th and 5th) further weakens its effectiveness and
symbolic protection.
5. Dashamsa (D-10) Chart
Indicators:
o The Dashamsa Ascendant
is aspected by both Mars and Saturn, indicating pressure and
instability.
o The 10th house in D-10 is
occupied by Rahu, which is highly inauspicious for public life and
leadership.
o Dashamsa lord Saturn is placed in the 11th
house, offering only partial support.
o However, the natal 10th
lord Venus is in the 12th house in D-10 — an ominous sign affirming
the vulnerability of the ruler.
6. Gulika’s Position:
o Gulika is in Libra, which is India’s natal
10th house — directly implicating the seat of power and government.
o Its Navamsa position is
Pisces, which is the 3rd from the natal sign Capricorn, another
negative placement as per Gulika rules.
Conclusion:
All these factors combined to forecast a high-risk year for the head of state, which tragically culminated in the death of Prime Minister Shastri while in office.
Case 3: Death of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru (May 27, 1964)
- India’s natal sign: Capricorn (23°20’), using New Delhi coordinates
(28°36’50" N, 77°12’32" E)
- Annual chart date: February 6, 1964, 16:27:45 IST
- Chart details:
- 8th house cusp: Aquarius, 10s- 00°57′ → 64th Navamsa sign is
Libra
- 10th house cusp: Pisces, 11s- 25°21′ → Navamsa is Aquarius
Observations:
1. The Navamsa of both the
annual Ascendant and the Moon is Leo, the 8th from India’s natal sign,
Capricorn → weak annual Ascendant.
2. The Navamsa sign of the 10th
house is Aquarius, which is the 8th from Cancer and trine to the Libra (64th
Navamsa) → weak 10th house.
3. 10th lord Jupiter is in the
10th house (Chalit chart) with Venus, the 64th Navamsa lord. In Navamsa,
Jupiter is debilitated and aspected by Venus. Planets in debilitated Navamsa
harm the house in which they are positioned. In Trimsamsa, Jupiter is in the
8th house with Rahu-Ketu → heavy affliction.
4. Natal 10th lord Venus is
also lord of the 64th Navamsa and placed in the 12th house in Navamsa under the
aspect of the 8th lord Saturn → afflicted.
5. Dashamsa lord Mars is in the
8th house (D-10); natal 10th lord Venus is also in the 8th → fatal
combinations. Dashamsa Lagna has Ketu; the 10th house has Saturn.
6. Gulika is in Pisces (3rd
from Capricorn) in Rasi, and Sagittarius (12th) in Navamsa → inauspicious
placement.
Conclusion:
All key indicators in this annual chart — from afflicted lords, negative house
placements, involvement of the 8th and 64th Navamsa signs, and Gulika’s malefic
position — strongly point to danger to the ruler. Indeed, Prime Minister Nehru
passed away that year while still in office.
Case
4: Death of Dorjee Khandu in a Helicopter Crash (April 30, 2011)
Dorjee
Khandu, then Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh, tragically died in a
helicopter crash on April 30, 2011. Let us examine the annual chart of
Arunachal Pradesh for the year preceding the incident to understand the
astrological indications.
- Zodiac Sign of Arunachal Pradesh (based on Itanagar
coordinates: 27°03′36″ N, 93°22′12″ E): Leo 13°20′
- Annual Chart Date: August 31, 2010, at 01:36:36 IST at Itanagar
Annual Chart details:
- 8th House Cusp: Capricorn, 9s- 26°45′ → 64th Navamsa sign is
Virgo
- 10th House Cusp: Pisces, 11s- 21°06′ → Navamsa sign is Capricorn
Astrological
Observations:
1. Ascendant Condition:
o The Ascendant is Gemini,
at the fag end, and it is Vargottama, which typically gives strength.
However, it is the 11th house from the natal sign Leo — a house of
ambition but not inherently auspicious for safety.
o Moreover, the Ascendant is afflicted
by the nodes (Rahu-Ketu) and aspected by the 8th lord Saturn, which vitiates
the protective strength of the chart and makes the person (or ruler)
vulnerable.
2. Weak 10th House by Navamsa:
o The Navamsa sign of the
10th house is Capricorn, which is equal to the 8th house from the annual
ascendant, Gemini — a serious flaw.
o The 64th Navamsa sign
Virgo is also the 7th house from the 10th, and thus casts a
malefic influence on the seat of authority.
3. Affliction to the 10th Lord
(Jupiter):
o Jupiter, the 10th lord, is placed
in the 10th house — seemingly a strong position. However:
§ It is retrograde and
thus weakened.
§ It owns the 7th house,
creating Kendradhipatya dosha (functional malefic nature). Moreover,
being the 7th lord in the 10th house is not suitable for
the significance of the 10th house.
§ It is aspected by Saturn,
the 8th lord, and Mars, the 6th lord— a potent affliction.
o In the Navamsa chart,
Jupiter is placed in the 64th Navamsa sign Virgo, in the 4th house,
again under the aspect of Saturn, doubling the threat.
o In Trimshamsa,
Jupiter is in Taurus, which forms a trine to both the 8th and the
64th Navamsa signs — confirming hidden vulnerability.
4. Affliction to Natal 10th
Lord (Venus):
o Venus, the natal 10th lord,
is placed in the 4th house with Saturn, the 8th lord, in
the annual Rasi chart.
o In the Navamsa chart,
Venus again occupies the 4th house, in the 64th Navamsa sign Virgo,
and is under Saturn's aspect — an unmistakable sign of affliction.
5. Dashamsa (D-10) Chart:
o Saturn, the 8th lord,
occupies the Dashamsa Ascendant.
o Its lord Mercury has
a sign exchange with Saturn — creating a strong linkage between Lagna
and the 8th house, which is extremely dangerous for the ruler.
o The natal 10th lord Venus
is exalted in the 7th house, which might seem good, but exaltation of
Venus in the 7th house is not pleasing even in the nativity.
6. Malefic Position of Gulika:
o Gulika is in Pisces, which is the 8th house
from the natal sign Leo — a strong indicator of danger.
o In the Navamsa,
Gulika is in a sign that is 3rd from Leo, showing some additional
tension.
Conclusion:
This
annual chart strongly fulfills multiple conditions indicating danger to the
head of the state:
All
these factors conform to the prescribed astrological principles, affirming that
the chart showed a clear risk to the Chief Minister's life, which
tragically culminated in the death of Dorjee Khandu in a helicopter crash.
Case
5: Death of Jayaram Jayalalithaa (December 5, 2016)
Jayaram
Jayalalithaa, a prominent Indian politician and actress, served as the Chief
Minister of Tamil Nadu until her passing on December 5, 2016. Let us examine
the annual chart for Tamil Nadu for the relevant year to assess the
astrological indicators leading up to her death.
- Zodiac Sign of Tamil Nadu (Chennai Coordinates: 13°05′
N, 80°16′ E): Cancer 30°00′
- Annual Chart Date: August 16, 2016, at 18:40:03 IST at Chennai
- Annual Chart Details:
- 8th House Cusp: Virgo, 5s- 06°23′ → 64th Navamsa sign is
Aquarius
- 10th House Cusp: Scorpio, 7s- 11°01′ → Navamsa sign is Libra
- 3rd House Cusp: Aries 08°42′
Astrological
Observations:
1. Afflicted Ascendant:
o The Ascendant is Aquarius,
which is the 8th house from the natal sign Cancer — a highly
sensitive and dangerous placement.
o The Ascendant is afflicted
by Rahu, Ketu, Mars, and Gulika, indicating severe disturbance to the
leadership and general vitality of the state.
2. Malefic Trine Between 10th
Navamsa and 64th Navamsa:
o The Navamsa sign of the
10th house is Libra, and the 64th Navamsa sign is Aquarius — both
are in trine to each other, causing mutual reinforcement of malefic
potential.
o The 10th house is
occupied by Mars, which is the lord of the 3rd house — an inauspicious
influence on the house representing governance.
3. Affliction of the Annual
10th Lord (Mars):
o Mars, though placed in its own
sign in the 10th house, is also the 3rd lord, thus bringing a negative
influence.
o It is conjoined with Saturn,
the lord of the 64th Navamsa, adding further affliction.
o In the Navamsa chart,
Mars is placed in the 12th house with Gulika, and is hemmed between
malefics — a clear signal of harm.
o In Trimsamsa, Mars
occupies Virgo, which is the 8th house, further increasing fatal
potential.
o In the Dashamsa chart,
Mars is in the 9th house with Mercury, the 8th lord, and
in the sign Taurus, which is trine to the 8th house — again
emphasizing a life-threatening setup.
4. Affliction to the Natal 10th
Lord (Mars):
o Mars is also the natal 10th
lord, and
hence, all afflictions listed above apply directly to both the annual
and natal governance indicators — compounding the malefic influence on the
position of power.
5. Dashamsa (D-10) Chart
Observations:
o The Dashamsa Ascendant is
Virgo, which is equal to the 8th house from the annual ascendant
Aquarius — an ominous sign.
o The Dashamsa lord Mercury
and Mars are placed in Taurus, which corresponds to the 4th
house, trine to the 8th house, indicating hidden instability or
harm.
o Saturn aspects the Dashamsa
Ascendant,
reinforcing loss, delay, and hardship — often fatal in matters of leadership
when combined with other indicators.
6. Malefic Position of Gulika:
o Gulika is placed in Aquarius, which is the 8th from
the natal sign Cancer, indicating serious harm to the head of state.
o In Navamsa, Gulika is
in Libra, which is the 4th house — also a Maraka placement
in this context.
Conclusion: All these astrological conditions conform to the prescribed methodology and support the tragic reality that Jayalalithaa passed away in office in December 2016, marking a significant event in the history of Tamil Nadu’s politics.
Case
6: Assassination of Ranasinghe Premadasa (May 1, 1993)
Ranasinghe
Premadasa served as the third President of Sri Lanka until he was assassinated
on May 1, 1993. We now examine the annual chart of Sri Lanka for the year
1992–1993 to assess the planetary signatures that pointed toward this fatal
incident.
- Zodiac Sign of Sri Lanka: Gemini (06°40′),
based on Colombo coordinates (6°56′04″ N, 79°50′34″ E)
- Annual Chart Date: June 21, 1992, at 19:23:10 IST at Colombo
- Annual Chart Details:
- 8th House Cusp: Cancer, 3s-22°08′ → 64th Navamsa sign is
Capricorn
- 10th House Cusp: Virgo, 5s-25°54′ → Navamsa sign is Leo
Astrological
Observations:
1. Afflicted Ascendant:
o The annual Ascendant is
Sagittarius, which is the 7th house from Sri Lanka’s natal sign, Gemini
— a Maraka (death-inflicting) position.
o The Ascendant is afflicted
by the Nodes (Rahu-Ketu) — signifying instability, danger, and subversive
threats to the leadership.
2. Malefic Trine Between the
64th Navamsa and the 10th House:
o The 64th Navamsa sign is
Capricorn, which is trine to the 10th house Virgo — a malefic
link that weakens the house of governance.
3. Affliction to the Annual
10th Lord (Mercury):
o Mercury, the 10th lord, is placed
in the 7th house, which is inherently malefic for the seat of power.
o It is Vargottama in
Gemini, showing strength, but this strength in the 7th house actually
intensifies its malefic influence on the 10th house outcomes.
o Mercury is afflicted by
the Nodes in both Rasi and Navamsa, further amplifying its destructive
impact.
o In the Trimsamsa chart,
Mercury is in the 8th house, and the sign Cancer, which belongs
to the 8th house from the Rasi, is involved in parivartana (exchange)
with the 8th lord Moon — a clear mark of fatality.
o In the Dashamsa chart,
Mercury is in the 4th house in Virgo, which is trine from the
64th Navamsa sign Capricorn — a damaging position when linked with the 10th
lord.
4. Affliction to the Natal 10th
Lord (Jupiter):
o Jupiter, the natal 10th lord, is aspected
by the 8th lord Moon in the Rasi chart and conjoined with the
64th Navamsa lord Saturn in the Navamsa — forming powerful fatal
combinations.
o In the Trimsamsa,
Jupiter is placed in the 7th house.
o In the Dashamsha,
Jupiter is again in the 7th house, and under the aspect of Saturn,
the 64th Navamsa lord — marking leadership vulnerability and fatal impact.
5. Dashamsha (D-10) Chart
Observations:
o The Dashamsha Ascendant
is occupied by Saturn, a major malefic and lord of the 64th Navamsa —
already flagged in earlier combinations.
o The Ascendant lord
Mercury is in the 4th house (Virgo), trine from the 64th Navamsa
sign — reinforcing a pattern of affliction from that malefic trine.
o As noted earlier, the natal
10th lord Jupiter is also heavily afflicted, appearing in the 7th
house and under the influence of Saturn.
6. Malefic Position of Gulika:
o Gulika is in Capricorn, which is the 8th house
from the natal sign Gemini — a fatal placement in any chart.
o In Navamsa, Gulika is
placed in Gemini, which is equal to the natal sign of the country
— an extremely inauspicious overlap.
Conclusion:
All elements of the chart confirm that the assassination of Ranasinghe Premadasa during the year governed by this annual chart was astrologically foreseeable based on the prescribed principles.
Case
7: Assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy (November 22, 1963)
John
F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was tragically
assassinated on November 22, 1963. We now examine the annual chart of the
United States for that year to understand the astrological indicators that
pointed toward such a catastrophic loss of leadership.
- Zodiac Sign of the USA (Washington D.C.: 38°53′23″ N,
77°00′32″ W): Aquarius 30°00′
- Annual Chart Date: March 14, 1963, at 11:39:37 EST at Washington,
D.C.
- Annual Chart Details:
- 8th House Cusp: Sagittarius, 8s- 19°20′ → 64th Navamsa sign is
Virgo
- 10th House Cusp: Aquarius, 10s- 03°53′ → Navamsa sign is
Scorpio
Astrological
Observations:
1. Afflicted Ascendant:
o The Ascendant is Taurus,
which is the 4th house from the natal sign Aquarius — not
inherently favorable.
o The Navamsa sign is Virgo,
which is 8th from Aquarius — a critical flaw.
o The Ascendant is occupied
by Gulika and aspected by Ketu, compounding malefic influences on
the foundational house of the annual chart.
2. 10th House Navamsa = 7th
House:
o The Navamsa sign of the
10th house is Scorpio, which is equal to the 7th house from the
annual ascendant, that weakens the authority and stability of the leadership,
as the 7th house is also a non-supporting sign for the significance
of the 10th house.
o The 10th house is
occupied by the 5th lord Mercury- a serious flaw.
3. Affliction of the Annual
10th Lord (Saturn):
o Saturn, the 10th lord, is
placed in the 10th house (Chalit chart), which appears strong
superficially.
o However, it is at a house
junction, reducing its adequate strength.
o It is under the malefic
aspect of Mars, the 7th lord, indicating conflict and physical
threat.
o In the Navamsa chart,
Saturn is placed in the 12th house, a dusthana, and aspected by Mercury,
the 64th Navamsa lord — an ominous link.
o The sign occupied by Saturn
in Navamsa is Leo, which is the 4th from Aquarius, and trine
to the 8th house — increasing hidden danger.
o In the Dashamsa chart,
Saturn is placed in the 8th house with the 8th lord Jupiter — a direct
life-threatening configuration.
4. Affliction to the Natal 10th
Lord (Mars):
o Mars, the natal 10th lord,
is in the 3rd house of the annual chart and aspected by Jupiter,
the 8th lord — forming a lethal connection. Moreover, it is in
retrograde motion with malefic Rahu.
o In the Navamsa chart,
Mars is placed in the 2nd house, again under the aspects of Saturn
and Ketu, both strong malefics.
o In the Dashamsa, Mars
occupies the 4th house and is again aspected by the 8th lord Jupiter,
reaffirming the theme of loss through hidden enmity or violence.
5. Dashamsha (D-10) Chart
Observations:
o Dashamsha Ascendant is
Scorpio, a
sensitive sign, and it is heavily afflicted by the nodes (Rahu and Ketu).
o The Ascendant lord, Mars,
is placed in the 4th house, a Maraka position when considered for
longevity and prominence.
o As previously noted, Mars as
natal 10th lord is already under multiple forms of affliction across charts,
making this position particularly dangerous.
6. Malefic Placement of Gulika:
o Gulika is in Taurus, which is the 4th house
from the natal sign Aquarius — a malefic quadrant for leadership
threats.
o In the Navamsa,
Gulika is placed in Aquarius, equal to the natal sign itself — a
critical and ominous placement.
Conclusion:
This
annual chart supports the prediction of grave danger to the head of state,
based on multiple confirming principles:
All astrological rules are satisfied, pointing to a clear and present threat to the life of the ruler — which tragically culminated in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy during the operational year of this annual chart.
Case 8– The Death of U.S. President Franklin D.
Roosevelt in office on April 12, 1945
Zodiac Sign of the U.S.A.: Aquarius (10s–30°00′)
Location: Washington, D.C. (38°53′23″ N, 77°00′32″ W)
Annual Chart Date: March 13, 1945, at 20:53:25
- 8th House: Aries, 0s- 21°47′ → 64th Navamsa Sign is
Libra
- 10th House: Gemini, 2s- 23°08′ → Navamsa Sign is
Aries
Astrological Observations:
1. Afflicted Ascendant:
- The annual Ascendant is Virgo, which is the 8th house from
the natal zodiac sign Aquarius. This is a fatal and destructive
position.
- The Moon is precisely placed in Aquarius, the same as the
natal sign of the U.S.A., which is traditionally regarded as inauspicious.
2. Malefic influence on the 10th House:
- The 64th Navamsa sign is Libra, and the 10th house is in
Gemini, which forms a trine (5-9 relationship) with Libra.
- The 10th house is occupied by the 5th lord,
malefic Saturn, along with Rahu.
3. Severe Affliction to the Annual 10th Lord
(Mercury):
- Mercury, the annual 10th lord, is placed in the 7th house
in Pisces, its sign of debilitation, at an unsupportive house
and is under aspect from an afflicted Saturn.
- In the Navamsa chart, Mercury is in Libra, the 64th
Navamsa sign, and placed in the 4th house with Ketu, under the aspect
of Saturn — a strong signature of hidden destruction.
- In the Trimsamsa and Dashamsa charts, Mercury again falls in Libra,
repeating the 64th Navamsa sign — this repetition confirms
affliction at every level of analysis.
4. Affliction to the Natal 10th Lord (Mars):
- Mars, the natal 10th lord, is placed in the 5th house,
which is unsupported for matters of rule or continuity.
- In the Dashamsa, Mars is in Cancer, its sign of
debility, in the 7th house, and conjoined with Rahu and Ketu
— a powerful indicator of crisis and termination.
- In the Trimsamsa, Mars is in the 8th house, joined
with Saturn and the nodes, forming a classic death-inflicting
combination.
5. Dashamsa (D-10) Chart Observations:
- The Dashamsa Ascendant is Capricorn, which is the 12th
from the natal sign Aquarius, implying loss; the Dashamsa lord
is in an unsupportive house 3rd.
- It is aspected by the nodes and Mars, both aggressive
malefics.
- The Dashamsa 10th house is occupied by Rahu, which often
brings sudden or unnatural disruptions to the office or authority.
6. Malefic Position of Gulika:
- Gulika is in Leo, which is the 7th house from the natal sign of
Aquarius.
- In Navamsa, Gulika is in Sagittarius, the 11th from
the natal sign.
Conclusion:
The annual chart of 1945 for the United States
strongly aligns with the principles of fatal affliction to the head of state.
Every key indicator — from the 8th house Ascendant, malefic trines,
debilitated and afflicted 10th lord Mercury, and dangerous placements
in divisional charts, to the fatal positioning of Gulika — clearly
pointed to a year of crisis. As expected, President Franklin D. Roosevelt
died in office during this annual period, confirming the reliability of
this predictive method.
Case 9: President Warren G. Harding
Death
in Office: August 2, 1923
Zodiac Sign of USA (Washington D.C.): Aquarius (10s 30°00′)
Annual Chart Date: March 14, 1923, 4:25:39 a.m. at Washington, D.C.
- 8th House: Leo (4s 21°19′) → 64th Navamsa Sign is Libra
- 10th House: SCorpio (7s 04°50′) → Navamsa Sign is Leo
Astrological Observations:
1. Afflicted Ascendant and
Moon:
o The annual Ascendant is
Capricorn, the 12th from natal Aquarius — a house of loss and retreat.
o The Ascendant Navamsa is
Taurus, which is the 4th from natal Aquarius — also a weak position.
o
The Moon is in Capricorn, also the 12th from the natal zodiac
sign — further weakening the chart.
2. Afflicted 10th House:
o The Navamsa sign of the 10th
house is Leo, which is equal to the 8th house — a flaw.
o The 10th house is
occupied by the 3rd cum 12th lord Jupiter— a significant
flaw as both the 3rd and 12th houses are unsupported by the significance of the
10th house.
3. Affliction to the Annual and
Natal 10th Lord (Mars):
o Mars, both the annual and
natal 10th lord, is in the 4th house, but shifts to the 3rd in Chalit, a
non-supportive house.
o It is situated near a house
junction, losing strength.
o In Navamsa, Mars is in Leo (equal
to the 8th house) and conjoined with Saturn, in the 4th house, adding
severity.
o In Trimsamsa, Mars is in the
7th house (Gemini) — trine to the 64th Navamsa sign Libra.
o In Dashamsa, it again
occupies Leo, the 8th sign — compounding fatal potential.
4. Dashamsa Chart (D-10)
Observations:
o
Ascendant Aquarius, its lord Saturn, and both form a trine to
the 64th Navamsa sign Libra — a harmful alignment.
5. Malefic Gulika Placement:
o Gulika is at Leo, the 7th
from Aquarius, and the Navamsa of Gulika is Sagittarius, the 11th from natal
Aquarius — also undesirable.
Conclusion:
The annual chart of 1923
presents multiple fatal signatures aligned with the tragic demise of President
Warren G. Harding. The 12th house Ascendant from the USA’s natal zodiac sign
(Aquarius), the direct affliction of both the annual and natal 10th lord Mars
by malefics across divisional charts, and the prominence of the 64th Navamsa
sign (Libra) across key placements point to a serious undermining of authority.
The 10th house and its lord are consistently linked to death-inflicting houses
or signs, and even the Dashamsha, a chart central to career and leadership,
repeats this pattern. Gulika's placement in the 7th from the natal sign further
confirms the Maraka nature of the year. Thus, the death of a sitting president
during this annual period is entirely justified by astrological principles.
Case 10: President William McKinley died in office on
September 14, 1901
Zodiac
Sign of USA:
Aquarius (10s 30°00′)
Annual Chart Date: March 13, 1901, 13:00:28 at Washington, D.C.
·
8th House: Capricorn (9s 22°49′) → 64th Navamsa Sign is Cancer
- 10th House: Pisces (11s 11°36′) → Navamsa Sign is Libra
Astrological Observations:
1. Afflicted Ascendant:
o Annual Ascendant Gemini is
Vargottama, and 5th from natal Aquarius — inherently weak for governance.
o Under the aspect of malefic Saturn (8th lord), flanked by Mars and Gulika in Chalit.
o Jupiter’s aspect is
blemished due to Kendradhipatya Dosha — thus unable to protect.
2. Afflicted and weak 10th
House:
o 10th house Pisces is trine
to Cancer, the 64th Navamsa sign — forming a fatal link.
o Occupied by Sun (Chalit
chart), 3rd lord, and aspected by Mars and Rahu.
3. Affliction to the Annual
10th Lord (Jupiter):
o Jupiter is in the 7th house,
with 8th lord Saturn — strongly negative.
o In Navamsa, placed in 4th
house (Virgo) — trine to 8th.
o In Trimsamsa, again in
Virgo; in Dashamsa, in Capricorn, which rises in the 8th house.
4. Affliction to the Natal 10th
Lord (Mars):
o In the 2nd house in Chalit,
but the actual sign Leo rises in the 3rd — an unsupported house.
o Mars is retrograde, and in an
immovable-immovable sign combination (Rasi-Navamsa).
o In Navamsa, Mars is in 12th
house (Taurus) — trine to 8th.
o In Dashamsa, it is in Virgo,
again trine to the 8th; in Trimsamsa, in Cancer, the 64th Navamsa sign.
5. Dashamsa Chart Observations:
o Ascendant Virgo, the 8th
from Aquarius — already ominous.
o Mars and Saturn (8th lord)
influence the chart directly — a fatal linkage.
6. Malefic Gulika Placement:
o Gulika in Taurus, the 4th
from natal Aquarius.
o Its Navamsa is in Virgo,
which is the 8th from Aquarius.
Conclusion –
The annual horoscope for 1901 reflects a well-structured network of afflictions contributing to President McKinley’s assassination. While the Ascendant appears stable at first through its Vargottama nature, its 5th house status and flanking by Gulika and Mars negate this strength. The 10th house, though protected by Jupiter, suffers due to Kendradhipatya Dosha, and is also linked to the 64th Navamsa sign Cancer through trinal aspects. The 10th lord Jupiter is consistently associated with the 8th house across all charts. The natal 10th lord, Mars, is rendered weak due to placement in unsupported houses, retrogression, and repeated connection with trines from the 8th or the 64th Navamsa sign. Gulika’s position and Navamsa further amplify the fatality. Thus, the astrological framework provides a robust explanation for the loss of executive authority through violent means.
Case 11: President James A. Garfield, Death in Office:
September 19, 1881
Zodiac Sign of USA: Aquarius (10s 30°00′)
Annual Chart Date: March 12, 1881, 9:52:07 at Washington, D.C.
·
8th House: Sagittarius (8s 09°05′) → 64th Navamsa Sign is Gemini
·
10th House: Capricorn (9s 23°45′) → Navamsa Sign is Leo
Astrological Observations:
1. Weak Ascendant & Moon
Positions:
o Annual Ascendant: Taurus
(4th from Aquarius).
o Ascendant Navamsa: Gemini
(5th from Aquarius) — again, a weakening link.
o Moon in Navamsa: Capricorn,
the 12th from natal sign.
o Gemini, the 64th Navamsa
sign, is also the Ascendant Navamsa → double affliction.
2. Affliction to the 10th
House:
o 10th house Navamsa Leo is
trine to 8th house — fatal influence.
o malefic Mars occupies 10th
house in Chalit, lord of 7th and 12th — a dangerous placement.
3. Affliction to Annual 10th
Lord (Saturn):
o In the 12th house, in the
Rasi and Navamsa, and debilitated in Rasi.
o In Trimsamsa, in 7th house
(Leo) — part of 8th trinity.
o In Dashamsa, in the 11th
house — semi-malefic, not supportive for rulership.
4. Affliction to Natal 10th
Lord (Mars):
o In the 10th house in Rasi,
but at the house junction and debilitated in Navamsa.
o In Navamsa, in the 2nd
house, under the aspect of Saturn and sign depositor Moon — mild affliction.
o In Trimsamsa, in 5th house,
in Gemini, the 64th Navamsa sign.
o In Dashamsa, in the 10th
house, the occupied sign Aries belongs to the 12th house and Conjoined
Jupiter, which is the 8th lord, thus not protective.
5. Dashamsa Chart Observations:
o Ascendant Cancer, the 3rd
from Rasi, Ascendant Taurus — a weak offset.
o Its lord Moon is in 11th
house, a semi-malefic position.
6. Malefic Gulika Placement:
o Gulika in Aquarius — equal
to natal sign → inauspicious. Navamsa of Gulika in Gemini is 5th from the natal
sign, Aquarius.
Conclusion-
The astrological evidence
in the annual chart of 1881 fully supports the death of President Garfield. The
Ascendant is from the 4th house, and its Navamsa and Moon placement from the
natal sign are weak or inauspicious. More critically, the annual Ascendant
Navamsa is the 64th Navamsa sign, a sure indicator of fatal developments. The
10th house Navamsa sign Leo links directly to the 8th house. The annual 10th
lord, Saturn, is debilitated and consistently afflicted across Rasi, Navamsa,
and Trimsamsa. In contrast, the natal 10th lord Mars is debilitated in Navamsa
and tied to the 64th Navamsa sign in Trimsamsa. The Dashamsha offers little
reprieve, with the 10th lord joined by the 8th lord. Gulika’s alignment with
the natal sign and its Navamsa with the 64th Navamsa sign caps the combination
of destructive forces. Hence, the assassination is astrologically
well-indicated within the given framework.
Final Summary
This article has systematically demonstrated how the
annual chart of a nation, constructed from its zodiacal sign and capital
coordinates, can reliably indicate threats to the life and position of its
ruling authority, by applying a set of structured astrological rules—centered
on the affliction to the Ascendant, the 10th house, its lord, and critical
charts like Navamsa (D-9), Dashamsa (D-10), and Trimsamsa (D-30)—a predictive
framework has been established. Particular emphasis has been given to the
destructive influence of the 64th Navamsa sign, as well as the positioning of
Gulika, in both Rasi and divisional charts.
Case studies of prominent leaders—such as Pandit
Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Indira Gandhi, and several U.S. Presidents who died
in office—validate the robustness of this methodology. In nearly every
instance, the following key patterns emerged:
- The annual Ascendant and Moon were found in fatal or Maraka
positions from the natal sign.
- The 10th house was directly weakened through trinal relationships
with the 8th house or 64th Navamsa sign.
- The 10th lords (both annual and natal) suffered severe afflictions
across multiple charts.
- Dashamsa consistently mirrored the downfall of executive power.
- Gulika's placement served as a final destructive marker when aligned
with the natal or annual zodiac.
Through
this detailed examination, the article substantiates that the timing of fatal
threats to national leaders can indeed be astrologically foreseen when the
proper techniques are applied rigorously. This predictive approach is not only
grounded in classical wisdom but is reinforced through modern chart examples,
offering scholars and practitioners a dependable tool for national-level
analysis.
