Starspeak
Chidambaram is currently under the influence of Jupiter major-period and Rahu sub-period, which will end on May 29, 2017. It is to be noted that Rahu is placed in the 8th House (House of adversities) with Saturn and Mars. Due to this inauspicious combination, there will be lack of peace and harmony in his life. This combination is indicative of great misfortunes and troubles, and some events in his life can adversely impact his public image.
The transiting Rahu is currently moving over the Natal Sun in his Chart. Also, he is passing through the Sade Sati period — the seven-and-a-half-year tough phase of Saturn. This period can prove distressing and frustrating period, combined with tensions and disappointments.
The combined effect of Rahu and Saturn can also lead to various legal troubles.
In his horoscope, Moon is placed with Ketu in the 2nd House. When these two planets are in conjunction, the combined effect of their powers is rather strong and negative. Added to this, the transiting Saturn will travel through the 2nd house during 2017 and 2018. Thus the entire period till the end of 2018 may remain stressful for the politician.
Various problems, controversies and legal issues may continue to haunt him. It will be an uncertain terrain for him with not much support from friends and confidants. However, the transiting Jupiter will be moving in his favour, hence he will be able to tackle the serious charges he is facing and he may somehow be able to find solutions to his problems. Also, Chidambaram will have to be very careful in his communications with the media, as the transit of Rahu over Natal Mercury will prove to be a tricky phase.
