NEELAM GUPTA 14 September

2009, 7:21 PM

Arun Shourie, a well known investigative journalist of his journalistic

days likened the present condition of the Bharatiya Janta Party or BJP

to a kati patang, or a runaway kite which has no control over its own

direction in the sky as the thread that controlled it got snapped. This

tirade of Shourie caught people's imagination because it is a popular

song of a Bollywood film where a love-stricken girl likens her condition

to a kati patang.

 

 

 

After its dismal performance in the general elections of May 2009, BJP

finds itself involved in its own internal squabbles. Media has called it

'Withering Lotus'. The party is seen floundering amidst ego clashes and

unclear hierarchy. Many feel it might be an indication of the saffron

meltdown.

 

 

 

Those who know in what miserable plight the Congress party was in 1969

with its squabbles and Indira Gandhi leading it to a split and a much

talked of election between V. V. Giri and Sanjeeva Reddy for the post of

the President of India, should not utter doomsday predictions for BJP.

 

In these days of television discussion and a powerful print media, there

is no doubt that the crisis of the BJP has been magnified beyond

proportions. Like any political party that has lost back to back

elections and is moving from one generation to other, it is natural to

be in this phase.

 

 

 

Astrological Reasoning

Using the logic that a party is a body, and that it is in trouble, I

have tried to apply the Jataka principles to see what ails the BJP. The

astrological reasons can be seen easily.

 

 

 

BJP Horoscope

 

 

The party's foundation horoscope of 6th April 1980/11.45 hrs/Delhi gives

it a Gemini lagna with lagna lord in ninth house of bhagya, but

conjoined with Ketu. Not a single benefic is in kendra. Instead of a

malefic in the sixth house, there is a weak Moon there. What puzzles

astrologers is how and why did BJP form itself with such planetary

positions as Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Rahu in the third house and a

debilitated Moon in the sixth house.

 

 

With a cluster of four retrograde planets in third, COMMUNICATION has

always been 'THE ISSUE' with BJP. Whether their strong stand of

communicating in Hindi when Atal Behari Vajpayee delivers his famous

UNESCO address, or their inter-party communication 'hassles', or the

intra-party verbosity leading to rifts amongst the members.

 

 

Mangal-Guru-Shani yoga, as per classics make a person lean bodied,

cruel, wicked, bereft of friends, conceited and favoured by the ruler.

It is interesting to note that BJP body does show the fructification of

this yoga.

 

 

The dasha sequence too has not been helpful starting with Mercury, then

Ketu and now Venus. Venus mahadasha since 1992 has been a mixed bag for

the party being 5th lord and 12th lord, but strongly placed in 12th in

own house. The dasha opened with a loss of image due to destruction of

the Babri Mosque in 1992 which led to nationwide rioting. In the same

dasha, however, BJP also ruled for a record of six years from 1998 to

2004.

 

 

Owing to the difficult planetary placements, the party has wrestled with

issues of identity and ideology for nearly three decades of its

existence. But at this point of time, it seems in more disarray than

ever.

 

Why is BJP like a kati patang now? It is a classical case of eruption of

disease which was dormant so far. Sri K.N. Rao has hinted on how to

identify the periods of distress.

 

To understand this, mark these two in the chart:

a) The lord of the sixty fourth navamsha (Venus)

b) The lord of twenty second dreshkan (Mercury)

 

We can see why the present dasha has proved to be a period of ailment

for BJP. BJP is running the mahadasha of Venus, the 64th navamsha lord

and antar dasha of Mercury, the 22nd dreshkona lord.

 

 

Mercury as lagna lord in the ninth house represents ideology and

religion, which the party stands for. This itself became the cause of

party's debacle in the last Lok Sabha Polls. 22nd dreshkona lord Mercury

with Ketu kept it in a confused state of mind.

 

Mercury is also a weak fourth lord. It shows that the mass support is

weak and Mercury could not save the party from the defeat in Lok Sabha

polls. In fact, further factionalism and loss of 'sukh' was been

observed in the days to come.

 

Tenth lord Jupiter is weak in transit, being debilitated with Rahu in

8th house, 12th from the antarnath Mercury. End of party president

Rajnath Singh's tenure has given rise to a war of succession.

 

Stubborn retrograde malefics in third house also represent difficulties

with neighbours. We see a long dead Jinnah tossing in his grave, once

again, and this time pulling Jaswant Singh out of the party. Last time

when Jinnah's ghost troubled BJP was in 2005, when Advani had to quit as

party chief. The malefics in third house lead the 'disciplined' party to

a 'self-destruct' mode. From the bhavat bhavam of eighth house, tumble

down the neighbourly skeletons and the party is caught in the mess.

 

Venus-Mercury-Moon dasha from the last week of June to mid-September

adds fuel to fire. Mercury-Moon connections are fated periods, I would

say 'mind-boggling' in the literal sense. Moon is the debilitated 2nd

lord of speech in 6th house of disputes. Pratyantar of Moon brings forth

mental and physical sickness of the party. Moon's dasha, up to mid

September 2009, would show more such convulsions and cracklings in the

party.

 

Confirming through Char Dasha We can see how this is confirmed by the

 

Char Dasha of Pisces from 2004 to 2011. AK Saturn is in sixth house from

rashi dasha with Rahu, GK Jupiter and sixth lord Mars, apparently a

dasha of ailments. BJP lost the 2004 elections and later 2009 elections.

 

Antar dasha of Capricorn from 6 July 2009 to 4 February 2010 shows a

focussed period of eruption of disease. From Capricorn, AK Saturn falls

in the eighth house with Rahu and GK Jupiter and we see the chronic

ailment surface.

 

Coming Dashas

Next pratyantar of Mars, the sixth and eleventh lord, maintains the

connection with houses of sickness. We do not expect improvement from

infightings; rather the disputes might intensify, given the martian

fighting spirit. However, the strength to fight is also seen with

strongly positioned mars, and its dispositor Sun placed in 10th house.

 

We may see some leadership emerging in this period of Mars. Mars aspects

Moon in sixth house, lagna lord Mercury in the ninth and third lord Sun

in the tenth house of simhasan. We might see the party making intense

efforts (3rd house) to select (sixth house) a capable leader (tenth

house).

 

Rahu pratyantar follows who is also conjunct Mars and afflicts navamsha

lagna with antarnath Mercury. The signs of sickness would still be

visible in this period.

 

Somewhat better party position can be seen in Jupiter's pratyantar, the

10th lord who would also be transiting now in Aquarius in the ninth

house over lagna lord. This will also bring a temporary stability in the

party regarding leadership. Next antardasha of Ketu will be a dasha

chhidra governed by the planet of confusion and disillusionment. It can

call for major changes and realignments in the party. BJP has been an

'ideology-based' party. Ketu period might intensify the challenges on

this issue, being in the ninth house of Dharma. BJP will have to chalk

out new policy matters for its internal cohesion.

 

In the coming mahadasha of Sun from April 2012, we could see a new BJP

emerging with a new leadership. Sun is the third lord, digbali and

strong in tenth house of power, in parivartan with tenth lord Jupiter.

Sun is in the ninth house of bhagya in Navamsha. This does indicate that

BJP will rise yet again, and would not be 'reduced to rubble' as the

events indicate and journalists predict. With Sun showing light to

wisdom of Jupiter, the party will adopt a more appropriate 'rightwing

approach' and pave the path to an effective polity, whether in ruling

party or in opposition.

In Sun's dasha BJP will be out of the grip of 64th navamsha and 22nd

dreshkan lordships. It will also find its lost leadership and direction

with a digbali Sun in 10th house and will not remain a Kati Patang any

more.
