Teesta Setalvad, well-known civil rights activist and journalist, who heads the NGO — Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP), has been embroiled in legal trouble for a very long time now. As the secretary and chief functionary of CJP, she has been vigorously fighting cases stemming from the 2002 Godhra riots. In turn, she too has six cases filed against her by the Gujarat government. And recently a fresh FIR was filed against her by the CBI. Now, as she prepares to continue her fight in the Zakia Jafri case, she is yet again in the limelight. Will stars relent and make her life smoother? What has made her road so full of hurdles? Let’s take a look at her solar horoscope to answer these and other questions.
The Planetary Picture: In Teesta’s Solar Chart, majority of the planets are placed in Capricorn. This is a clear indication of her natural patience and perseverance. This planetary strength seems to have helped her fight for so many years, while making her way through the maze of the complex Indian judicial system.
Further, Mars in close conjunction with Saturn in her Solar Chart indicates her strong, aggressive character and mental and physical endurance (to fight for a cause).
However, given the severe afflictions of the benefic planets in her chart, her life has turned out to be a series of constant struggles. Adding to this is the fact that all the planets in her solar chart are hemmed in between the malefic Rahu and Ketu. This planetary factor has led to the constant shadow of doubt, conspiracy and treachery in her life. Rahu’s hidden, illusive nature and Ketu’s secretive conquests have pockmarked this strong lady’s life path with all sorts of confusions, illusions and confusions.
The Future: Currently, the transiting (retrograde) Saturn is aspecting the natal Sun and Saturn in Teesta's chart. Plus, the transiting Ketu is moving over her natal Moon. Moon is the signifier of emotions and mind, and the passing over of the detached and hazy Ketu over this has led to Teesta facing so much of pressure, turmoil and legal hazards.
Saturn’s movement is also not favourable for her. As Saturn deals with dark issues, grey areas and areas of law and enforcement, its retrograde motion (to continue till early August) has cast a major shadow on Teesta’s case. In the coming times too, the transiting Saturn in Scorpio (till 2017) may remain stressful for her, and she might undergo a very lengthy legal battle.
As of now, Venus is moving in a retrograde motion, and is in Leo. This is not a great placement for Setalvad and her NGO. There is a possibility of cancellation of the registration of her NGO, particularly till September 5, 2015.
Conclusion: All in all, Teesta Setalvad will be able to find legal remedies and ways to tackle the pressure situations, given the natal strength. However, the transiting Rahu in Leo, from January 2016 onwards, may again bring a new set of problems for her. So the planetary positions in the next one-and-half year may not allow her to settle down.
