How will the Lalit Modi controversy affect two strong women politicians of India?
Recently, two of the strongest women in Indian politics were embroiled in a serious controversy over ex-IPL chief Lalit Modi. There have been numerous discussions, allegations and debates surrounding the issue, and questions have been raised on the credibility and ethics of these two senior leaders — Chief Minister of Rajasthan Vasundhara Raje Scindia and Union external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj. What lies ahead for these two strong women and how will their political careers shape up post this scandal? We look at the individual horoscopes of Raje and Swaraj to predict the way ahead.
Sushma Swaraj (Astrological Observations)
With a Sagittarius ascendant, Swaraj has a strong Natal Chart. She is currently passing through a Saturn-Venus-Mercury Dasha cycle. The strong Venus Bhukti bestowed her with grand success and an influential portfolio. But her transiting Rahu is moving closer to the 10th house cusp in her chart and she has Moon-Saturn conjunction in her 10th house. Due to such a difficult transit of Rahu, her political future suddenly looks shaky and this controversy — Rahu, incidentally is the signifier of scandals — has come up.
The transiting Rahu in Hasts Nakshatra will remain very stressful for Swaraj. Added to this, the forthcoming transit of Rahu in Uttaraphalguni Nakshtra during October 8, 2015, and November 26, 2015, may remain challenging for her. Opposition’s pressure may rise during this time, and the episode shall continue to frustrate her, during the remaining part of 2015, suggest the stars.
However, her Natal stars are strong and thus, it is most likely that she will not buckle under pressure. Plus, the transiting Jupiter will be passing through her 9th House from mid July 2015, which will act in her favour. Given this support, she may be able to overcome this sensitive time, which has the potential to be a blow big enough to bring her down.
Vasundhara Raje Scindia (Astrological Predictions)
Considering her planetary configurations, Vasundhara Raje will not have any major problems due to the scandal. She will soon be out of the current controversy and this shall not have any implication on her position as the Chief Minister of Rajasthan.
The current transit of Jupiter over her ascendant chart, gives positive aspect to Moon, Mars and Mercury. And the transit of Jupiter through Leo, post-July 14, 2015, will be favourable for her too. It will protect her politically, and she will be out of this unpleasant and stressful situation after this time. Of course, the transit of Saturn and Rahu-Ketu may continue to cause trouble in some or the other way, and may also create a stressful political atmosphere, but overall, the stars suggest that she will emerge unscathed.
Presently, Raje is under the influence of the middle phase of Saturn Sade-Sati, major period of Rahu and also the sub period of Rahu, but these may not disturb her, except for causing her some embarrassment.
