US Presidential Election Prediction

[Guest guest]

Namaste friends,

 

I and Pt. Sanjay Rath identified the right chart of John F Kerry out of the

three available charts and further rectified it together when he was at my

house. However, unfortunately, we could not agree on the rectification of the

birthtime of George W Bush. Depending on the rectification, the indications of

this year's Tithi Pravesha chart are totally different. Our reading of the

nomination acceptance charts was also different. By the way, I consider the

nomination acceptance chart very important.

 

I will make my prediction based on the birthdata rectified by me.

Bottomline: After the first two debates (especially the first one), John F Kerry

seems to have gained a lot of momentum and closed the gap with George W Bush and

even seems to have gone ahead according to some polls. However, it is my

expectation that this will not be sufficient and that George W Bush will

prevail in the end.

 

President's campaign may pick up momentum towards the end of October. Even

though the third week of October may see fireworks flying in both directions

and both the candidates making some headway with bitterness on the rise, the

last week of campaign may give decisive momentum to the Bush campaign.

 

I am not exactly sure of what will happen in November, December and January, but

I do not expect George W Bush to leave office on January 23, 2004.

 

Caution: This prediction need not come true. It is made based on a lot of on-the-border analysis.

First, I will give all the relevant data used by me:

 

(1) George W Bush: 6 July 1946, 7:30 am (4:00 west of GMT), 72 W 55' 43", 41 N 18' 29"

(2) Laura Bush: 4 November 1946, 6:00 pm (6:00 west of GMT), 102 W 04' 39", 31 N 59' 50"

(3) Dick Cheney: 30 January 1941, 7:30 pm (6:00 west of GMT), 96 W 40' 00", 40 N 48' 00"

(4) John Kerry: 11 December 1943, 8:08 am (6:00 west of GMT), 104 W 59' 03", 39 N 44' 21"

(5) Theresa Heinz Kerry: 5 October 1938, 6:18 pm (2:00 east of GMT), 32 E 35' 00", 25 S 57' 00"

(6) John Edwards: 10 June 1953, 7:02 am (5:00 west of GMT), 82 W 57' 12", 34 N 41' 08"

(7) Kerry accepted nomination: 29 July 2004 10:21 pm (4:00 west of GMT), 71 W 03' 37", 42 N 21' 30"

(8) Bush accepted nomination: 2 September 2004, 10:10:12 pm (4:00 west of GMT),

73 W 58' 00", 40 N 47' 00"

 

All the data in (1)-(6) is from www.AstroDataBank.com. Out of those 6 charts,

(1) and (4) were rectified by me to the best of my ability and time. Data in

(7) was noted down by a vedic astrology member based on live TV coverage and

shared with members. Data in (8) was noted down by me based on live TV

coverage, with a small correction applied to take care of the satellite delay.

Here are my key points:

 

(1) In Kerry's chart, Dwisaptati sama dasa applies and explains past events very

well. Current period is Mercury-Moon. Moon is in 6th from Mercury and 6th from

Moon is in Aq, i.e. 12th house from lagna. With the bhoga of Moon in Mercury

dasa being in the 12th house, this seems to me like a period of loss and not

gaining power.

 

(2) In Bush's chart also, Dwisaptati sama dasa applies and explains past events

very well. Jupiter dasa started in April 2000 and ends in April 2009. Jupiter

dasa is a good dasa and the power given by Jupiter is likely to continue. I am

a bit apprehensive about the Sun antardasa that is about to start. Sun is in

marana karaka sthana in the natal rasi chart. However, Sun is in 10th from

Jupiter in the same rasi chart. The bhoga of Sun from Jupiter is in 9th in rasi

and 5th in dasamsa. I am not sure if Jupiter-Sun is capable of bringing him

down.

 

(3) When Kerry accepted the presidential nomination and became a candidate

formally, the 5th house of power has the 6th lord. The lagna lord is in 6th

house. This is not indicative of power. On the contrary, this is indicative of

losing the bid for power.

 

(4) When Bush accepted the presidential nomination and became a candidate

formally, lagna lord Mars and 5th lord Sun conjoined in the 5th house Leo! This

is indicative of retaining power. Sun is the faster moving planet and he is 4

degrees behind Mars. Thus this raja yoga is very promising and will give result

soon.

 

Though lagna is afflicted by Moon-Rahu combination, Moon and Rahu are further

away from lagna. More importantly, Rahu is actually moving away from lagna

(into the 12th house) while Moon is moving towards lagna. This is not so

inauspicious after all.

 

(5) Teresa Heinz Kerry is running Mercury-Jupiter antardasa as per Vimsottari

dasa. From the 7th house in navamsa, Mercury is in the 10th house and Jupiter

is the 5th lord. However, they do not show any raja yoga and do not show her

becoming the First Lady.

 

(6) John Edwards is running Saturn-Saturn antardasa. It is a very favorable

period for him. However, it can be argued that this whole exposure is good

enough for an inexperienced senator like him. This exposure did a world of good

to his political career.

 

(7) Dick Cheney is running Venus dasa till 2008. Venus is the 10th lord in 5th

in rasi. Without rectifying the divisional charts and just looking at rasi

chart, Venus dasa is a good dasa. It is unlikely that Venus-Mercury antardasa

would take him down, with Mercury in 2nd from Sun and Venus in 12th from Sun

causing Ubhayachara yoga on lagna lord Sun.

 

(8) An examination of Sudarsana Chakra dasa of dasamsa makes me think that most

of October will be a dicey month for Bush, but Oct 25-Nov 6 will be excellent.

His campaign may build last minute momentum in the week preceding the

elections.

 

(9) Kerry's TP chart of 2003-04 looks good. But, the 2004-05 TP chart does not

seem to show a great event on Jan 23. He runs Jupiter's TA dasa at the time.

Jupiter is the 4th and 7th lord in 3rd in marana karaka sthana. I cannot

imagine Jupiter dasa making him the President of USA.

 

(10) Bush's TP chart of 2003-04 is not so auspicious in Nov-Dec. However, Jan 23

looks good. Mercury-Venus antardasa as per TA dasa runs during Jan 22-Feb 4. In

dasamsa, Venus is the 5th lord in Gemini lagna and lagna lord Mercury is

aspecting him from Sagittarius. There is a raja yoga given by Mercury (1st and

4th lords) and Venus (5th lord). Mercury is the hora lord and hence the ruler

of the year too. I cannot imagine Mercury-Venus antardasa taking him out of

white house.

 

I am not 100% sure of what goes on in November, December and January. But, come

23 January 2004, I cannot imagine Bush leaving office,

 

(11) The chara karaka parivartana in Bush's nomination acceptance chart is bad.

I agree. But I refuse to accept that it is a fatal thing. It only show huge

setbacks.

 

(12) An examination of the charts of Al Gore and Hillary Clinton from the point

of view of 2008 elections also makes me think that Republicans will hold on to

the White House for 4 more years and democrats other than Kerry and Edwards

will run (and win) in 2008.

 

There is a lot more that I thought of but don't have time to write.

 

One word of caution: Most of the logic used is very dicey. Things are not

crystal clear. So many factors are sitting on a fence in this particular case.

So the confidence level I have in this prediction is pretty low.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,
