The transit of Saturn:
Saturn is
very weak in natal chart with only 2 benefic
points in Cancer where it is
posited and that too in the kakshya of Venus (the
significator planet of spouse), which is not one
of the contributors of these
points. It
has become even more weak in Navamsha Ashtakvarga
where it has got only 1point. Saturn is the 7th
and 8th lord hence its transit will always be
crucial to the well-being of husband and results
would be reflected on her spouse. Now see the
following facts on the fateful date:
(1)
Saturn was transiting in Capricorn with
ZERO benefic points, and that too in the kakshya
of its bitter enemy Sun, as 7th lord. Capricorn is
the 7th house in natal chart, and it is also 7th
if counted from Saturn's own posited situation in
natal chart (because it was in Ascendant itself).
By both theories of transit, it had to give
results pertaining to 7th house.
(2)
Saturn being the 8th lord also, has special
propensity to do evil. Eighth house is the 12th
from 9th (indicating loss of "Bhagya" or "Fortune").
Whenever Saturn
will be in distress during transit, it will
directly affect the Spouse, Married Life and
"Bhagya" in general. Saturn was
transiting the 8th house, if counted from natal
Moon (in Gemini). The weak Saturn, in natal chart
as well as in transit, would invariably invoke negative
significances of concerned houses. 8th house is
considered for the marital status of a woman,
suddenness and unexpectedness. Some of the
negative significances of this house are misery,
loss of limb, cause of death and severe mental
anguish. Saturn was under heavy stress on 21st May
1991 to cast its most evil effect on Sonia.
Rajiv's death brought all of these negative
Significances for Sonia.
(3)
Saturn was transiting the 3rd house if
counted from the Kakshya lord Sun's natal position
(in Scorpio). Sun is bitter enemy (Adhishatru) of
Saturn, as reckoned from Sonia's horoscope. The
3rd house is also termed as "House of
Sorrows". The lethal effect of Saturn was
even further enhanced
in its
bitter enemy's kakshya.
(4)
If there was still some auspiciousness left
in Saturn, that was wiped out by its retrograde motion on
that day. Any astrologer with little knowledge of
Ashtakvarga system would have said after
considering all these factors that the spouse of
the native was in grave danger.

Vimsottari
Dasha (upto 3 levels) operating at that time was
of Sat-Rahu-Sat.
Saturn
and Rahu, both are natural malefics. Saturn was
malefic by all corners, as analyzed earlier,
hence fructification of inauspicious
results could only be anticipated in its Mahadasha
and Pratyantardasha operating simultaneously.
Antardasha was of Rahu, which normally behaves
like Saturn. Rahu is posited in the kakshya of
Venus (the significator planet of spouse) in natal
chart, hence, Rahu's transit results will always
be reflected on her spouse.
(6)
Yogini
Dasha running at that time was Bhraamari-Sankata
(Mars-Rahu). Both are again natural malefics.
The transit of Mars:
Mars, though
a Yogakarak for Cancer Ascendant, is very weak in
natal chart with only 2 benefic points and that
too in the kakshya of enemy Saturn, which is not
one of the contributors of these points. It is
posited in Sagittarius at 01-10' degrees. The 2nd
degree in Sagittarius has been termed "Mrituansh"
(the degree of death) for Mars. It is also
combust. Now see the following facts on the
fateful date:
(1)
Mars was transiting in Cancer, his
debilitation position, in the Kakshya of its enemy
Saturn. Saturn itself is most adverse to the
spouse in natal chart as well as in transit, as
explained above.
(2) Mars was
transiting the 8th house, if counted from its own
posited situation in natal chart (Sagittarius).
Negative significances of 8th house has already
been described above in Saturn's case. Mars added the "explosives"
factor to these significances.
(3) The
Sookshma Dasa of Mars was operating on the fateful
day.
(4) The day
of Rajiv’s death was a Tuesday, the day of Mars.
The transit of Venus:
Venus is
very strong in natal chart with 6 benefic points
and posited in the kakshya of Moon, which is one
of the contributors of these points. Venus is very
strong Shadbal-wise also. Venus being significator
planet of 7th house and the spouse, the quality of
married life of the native had to be very good,
whatever the span of married life was. But being
the 11th lord it has become malefic. Now see the
following facts on the fateful date:
(1)
Venus was transiting in Gemini, with 4
points, in the Kakshya of Mercury. Mercury is not
one of the contributor of these points. Venus's
transit in a kakshya, void of contribution by
Kakshya lord's point, causes troubles and affliction to the
spouse, ancient scriptures says so. Now count its
position in transit from Kakshya lord's position
in natal chart (Scorpio). Venus, the significator
of conjugal bliss, was in 8th house (Gemini) which
is significator of marital status of a woman,
invoking negative significances of this house due
to its transit position explained above.
(2)
Venus was in 12th house (Gemini) if counted
from natal Ascendant (Cancer) invoking negative
significances of this house such as mental
anguish, loss of spouse, fear from overt and
covert enemies.
All five malefics were in "Evil"
Nakshatras:
Ashtakvarga
method prescribes a system in which Sarvaashtak
totals of various signs are summed from Ascendant
to the position of malefics in natal chart (both
signs included). This sum is multiplied by 7 and product divided by 27. The remainder
shows the asterism (from Ashwini), which itself or
its trines, when transited by malefics brings
misfortune and other afflictions to the native.
Applying the above mentioned method, we get the
following results:
| a. |
Ascendant to
Saturn = (30) x 7 = 210
210 divided by 27 =
7.777
Remainder = 0.777 x 27 = 20.98 or 21
21st asterism is Uttarashadha and its trines
are Krittika and Uttaraphalguni.
Sun was transiting Krittika at that moment.
|
| b. |
Mars to
Ascendant = (23+24+23+29+33+29+21+30 = 212)
x 7 = 1484
1484 divided by 27 = 54.96
Remainder = 0.96 x 27 = 25.92 or 26
26th
asterism is Uttarabhadrapad and its trines
are Pushya and Anuradha.
Mars was transiting Pushya Nakshatra at the
time of incident lord of which is Saturn.
Mars's transit in Saturn's nakshatra (even
sub-lord was also Saturn) at a time when
Saturn itself was highly malefic in transit for her
and running its Mahadasha also, again helped
in adding the "Blood",
"Violence", "Explosives"
factor to the incident.
|
| c. |
Ascendant to
Mars = (30+37+38+27+23+23 = 178) x 7 = 1246
1246 divided by 27 = 46.148
Remainder = 0.148 x 27 = 3.996 or 4
4th asterism is Rohini and its trines are
Hasta and Shravana.
Saturn was transiting Shravana.
|
| d. |
Rahu to
Ascendant = (29+21+30 = 80) x 7 = 560
560 divided by 27 = 20.740
Remainder = 0.740 x 27 = 19.98 or 20
20th
asterism is Poorvashadha and its trines are
Bharani and Poorvaphalguni.
Rahu was transiting Poorvashadha.
|
| e. |
Asc.to Rahu
= (30+37+38+27+23+23+24+23+29+33+29 =
316) x 7 = 2212
2212 divided by 27 = 81.926
Remainder = 0.926 x 27 = 25.002 or 25
25th asterism is Poorva Bhadrapad and its
trines are Punarvasu and Vishakha.
Ketu was transiting Punarvasu.

All the
five malefics were transiting simultaneously in
such Nakshatras which according to Ashtakvarga
principles would have brought misfortune to the
native, even singly. An unimaginable situation
really.
A
striking feature at this time was that all
planets (including Ascendant); except Venus; were
in asterisms whose Sub -lords are also malefics.
Remember, Mercury is a malefic for Cancer
Ascendant being the 3rd lord, and in this
horoscope, also associated with two natural
malefics, Sun and Ketu.
The "South-East" direction was most
inauspicious to her:
The
distribution of strength among eight directions;
reckoned from Sarvaashtakvarga and the cardinal
directions of planets; in Sonia's horoscope; as
per fixed Zodiac system (Sthirachakra) applied in
"Prashnamarga", is as follows:
| East |
:
13.798% Rahu |
| South-East |
:
9.347% Moon |
| South |
:
14.911% Saturn |
| South-West |
:
16.914% |
| West |
:
11.128% Sun, Mercury, Jupiter,
Venus, Ketu |
| North-West |
:
10.237% Mars |
| North |
:
10.460% |
| North-East |
:
12.908% |
As it is
evident from the above chart that South-East direction is highly inauspicious
to her, having least strength, and it has proved
so. Sriperumbudur, where Rajiv died and Sri Lanka
where from the assailants hailed, both are in
exactly South-East of her place of residence New
Delhi. Moon is situated in South-East and is
posited in 12th house (which signifies "Loss of
Spouse" and "Loss in Travel") in
natal chart in the Kakshya of Mars (which
signifies "Explosives"). It was
transiting the 3rd house (House of sorrows) on the
fateful day, if counted from the natal self.
Therefore the loss of spouse due to explosives in
South-East direction was quite indicative in her
horoscope during an inauspicious period. The next inauspicious direction for her is
North-West where the Punjab is situated. The whole
Gandhi family has remained threatened from this
region after “Operation Blue Star”.
The horary principles and the event :
As per
horary astrology principles, Saturn has dark
complexion, stiff hairs, large teeth, windy
temperament and cruel nature. Just remember the photograph of Rajiv's assassin
Ms.Dhanu, and you will
find a striking similarity in her personality with
above description. Saturn's direction is
“South” and inherent nature is
"Earthly". The assassination was in
'South' and on the 'Earth'. The Capricorn sign
signifies "Low lying area" and the sign Cancer signifies "Sea".
Saturn's transit in Capricorn and Mars's transit
in Cancer ensured that assassination took place at
low lying area near the Sea (Sriperumbudur is at
sea level).
