DELHI, INDIA, October 28, 2004: The article at “source” from India quotes several astrologers who predict that John Kerry will win the US presidential elections. “Kerry is likely to beat Bush in the final verdict,” predicts renowned astrologer Ajai Bhambi, also author of the bestseller “Be Your Own Astrologer.” “Bush’s horoscope shows Saturn, Venus and Mercury. They are all placed in Cancer Lagna and all of them are seen uncomfortable, which is why his election and his tenure have been controversial. “These three planets are unfavorable to Cancer Lagna and create problems from time to time.” Kerry on the other hand, said Bhambi, was born in Scorpio ascendant, with the Sun placed in it. His horoscope also has Mars and Moon occupying the Taurus and all the planets are involved in mutual aspects among themselves. “The whole configuration definitely makes for a charismatic leader,” the astrologer said. “In Bush’s horoscope, Saturn’s major period is in operation, but will conclude on May 17, 2006. Saturn is not a friendly planet in his horoscope and its mahadasha (key period) is about to conclude. This does not do much good,” added Bhambi. “In the annual chart, the third lord Sun in the ascendant has eclipsed Saturn, the lord of health and fortune, which will prove unfortunate and give Bush a clear defeat.”



Added astrologer Lachhman Das Madan: “I reveal the cosmic writ that George Bush cannot become the president of the US again.” Madan, known as Jyotish Samrat (king of astrologers) whose predictions — some 40,000 at the last count — are now case studies for astrology students across the world, said, “For Kerry, the sub-period of Mercury in the main period of Mercury is in operation. Mercury and Mars owning the fifth and third house have exchanged houses. Success in competition is certain,” Madan, whose latest prediction that neither Atal Bihari Vajpayee nor Sonia Gandhi will become prime minister of India won him many accolades, told IANS. After Gandhi’s Congress party won the parliamentary polls defeating the coalition government of Vajpayee, Gandhi as Congress president renounced the prime minister’s post and put Manmohan Singh at the helm of government.



S.R. Krishnamurti, who calls himself a mystic, said not only would Kerry win but his tenure as president would bring peace to the world. “The configuration of planets, which were not positioned coherently for Senator John Kerry for the past five-six months, is now falling in place for him. The Sun is supporting Kerry and the Moon is also in Kerry’s favour. He has definitely a very great chance of becoming president. “The after effects of Kerry’s win would be of immense good to the US. It will bring peace not only to the country but also to the rest of the world. The Middle East, Afghanistan and South Asia will see a terrorism-free, congenial atmosphere.” “With the change in the political set-up of the US, India-US relations will improve significantly. An economically strong, terrorism-free Washington will help build an economically strong, terrorism-free New Delhi,” said Krishnamurti, the winner of the Indira Priyadarshini Award in 1992.



The US-based Astrodaily (here) says, “Our experts have a divided opinion on the next US president. While one set of experts say that the position of planets in the birth horoscope of George Bush indicate he will be re-elected, another set of astrologers say that John Kerry will get the chance of his life time. Bush is running dasha of Saturn-Jupiter-Rahu. These three are in a strong position and well placed also. Rahu is in 11th house of gain & transit of Jupiter & Venus with 10th house and the lord Mars in Virgo sign makes him the leader of the world’s richest and powerful country. In John Kerry’s birth horoscope, he is running dasha of Mercury- Mercury- Saturn. Planet Mercury is in a strong position. But the effect of Saturn makes him loose the presidential race. US election will be a battle of nerves. In the initial counting John Kerry may have the upper hand but in the last moment in a dramatic turn of events Bush will win the race. However, majority of our experts differ with this proposition and maintain that Kerry will ultimately win the race. We, as an astro site, are withholding our final comment until further input.”



Bangalore Sureshwar of Chicago writes, “The next US President will be elected within the next few days. Many of my friends have asked what are the astrological indications for the 2004 Presidential Elections. My father Dr. B. V. Raman (HPI note: One of India’s most famous astrologers) has always emphasized that astrological indications are not deterministic. God’s Grace and personal efforts can make positive indications happen and minimize any non-positive indications. Both President Bush and Senator Kerry, as anticipated, have good horoscopes. However, one has to keep in mind that a relative evaluation is often a very challenging task. The horoscopes of President Bush and Senator Kerry are evaluated on a relative basis. A qualitative evaluation coupled with a quantitative analysis indicates that President Bush has a slight edge over Senator Kerry. Therefore, the horoscopic indications are that it is likely that President Bush will re-occupy the White House.”
