The ascendent lord's dasha: Is it always a benefic?

[Guest guest]

Dear astrologers,

 

On 13th april'06 , I received a phone call at around

12.00 hrs from a client from Rishikesh. He along with his several colleagues

had come from Rishikesh to Delhi to get one of their colleagues treated for

heart malfunction.

 

The patient had undergone a heart bypass surgery on 4th april'06, in

Delhi, and had gone into coma after the surgery. He had no relatives, only a

sick and ailing wife and an adopted son, adopted just six months ago.

 

The birth details of the native are as under:

 

4th august 1965

9.55 hrs

Dehradun

30N19 78E03

India

 

I asked the caller to call back again in one hour. In such cases of life

and death situations, I do not prefer to ask people to take pains to visit me.

But, he insisted that he and his other colleagues wanted to come personally.

 

They came at 17.00 hrs sharp. I looked at the horoscope. I told them

that the native will start getting better if he survives till 11.00 hrs on the

next day i.e 14th april'06. That was when the sun would have entered aries

leaving the company of rahu and reducing the pressure on mercury, already in

debiliation.

 

Then, I noticed the transit of moon too. It was about to enter libra in

a few hours. My intuition told me that he will not survive. The moon in libra,

transiting over his natal moon, in second house, was a very potent marak here.

I told them to be very cautious between 22.00 hrs on 13th night, i.e same day,

to 5.00 hrs on 14th morning.

 

I came to know the next day that he expired at 4.00 hrs on 14th morning.

 

Now, a look at his horoscope. The dasha was of lagnesh, placed with

venus, in twelfth house. The transits were not in favor as his eighth lord mars

was affected by ketu-saturn-mars in transit. He underwent the surgery as soon as

mars entered gemini, fully aspecting fourth house.

 

There are several other factors which you all will notice by some deeper

studies. But, what is interesting is that mercury, despite being ascendent lord,

does not provide any protection. I have seen many horoscopes where mercury was

in its own sign in lagna, but the native had a short life.

 

 

Regards,

 

Ashutosh
