Elections and India in 2009

The elections are on the corner. India is going through many problems like cross- border terrorism, disturbances with neighbors, war like situation with Pakistan. Hence, the most pertinent question will be what will be the situation in India in the year 2009.
The horoscope of Independent India is based on the date and time when India got freedom from the British Empire (15th August 1947 at Midnight).
The lagna rising in the horoscope of India is Taurus. Both, Sun and Moon are placed in Cancer in third house. Currently, both natal Moon and Sun are afflicted by transiting Ketu and to make the matter worse India is passing through the period of Sadhe Saati.
The dasa running on India right now is Venus / Ketu from 12/07/2008 to 12/09/2009 followed by the dasa of Sun / Sun from 12/09/2009 to 30/12/2009.
Third house in predictive astrology is seen for neighbor. Affliction of Sun, Moon and lagna lord in the third house and the running antardasa of Venus / Ketu indicate that the nation will be constantly troubled by its neighbors till September 2009.
Mahadasa of Sun will start from September 2009 onwards and will continue for coming six years. This will see India rise to the top and establish its place among the world’s superpowers. Problems with neighboring Pakistan will ease out after September 2009 onwards thanks to proactive and strong diplomatic initiative taken by the present government.
However, it is still important to know which party will form government in centre. In mundane astrology the fourth house is the house of kingly throne. The fourth lord is Sun that happens to be afflicted by Rahu / Ketu axis signifying chaos or confusions with respect to government formation. Hence, we are again heading towards a hung parliament with no party getting majority.
Following the predictive principles in mundane astrology there is going to be change in power centers after the election. Hence, it may not be surprising if the ruling UPA government does not form government after the election.
What happens next? There will be rat race of candidates for the prime minister’s post. We may see rise of new front after the election and the likes of Mayawati, Mulayam Singh and others may be the contender of the top post. This is what Saturn’s transit in the fourth house from India’s horoscope suggests. Who shall become prime minister would depend on the individual strength of the horoscope of the leaders. However, India is heading towards one more coalition government with no party getting absolute majority.
