PREDICTION: Dean to Bounce Back Feb 10-Apr 7

[Guest guest]

Namaste friends,

 

Right now, democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean's campaign seems to be

in a disarray. He was supposed to be the front-runner, but came a poor third in

Iowa and trailed Kerry by a double digit percentage in New Hampshire. After the

twin shocks, he sacked the chief of his operations today and a new chief was

brought in. He is conceding that he may not win any of the seven primaries on

Feb 3 and concentrating on the Michigan primary of Feb 7 instead.

 

Many political commentators are writing Dean off. One political pundit predicted

on MSNBC tonight after the debate that Kerry will win big on Feb 3 and that it

will all be over then!

 

Notwithstanding the current terrible position of Dean, my prediction is that

Dean will bounce back slowly now. Especially, he has a good period from Feb 11

to April 7. During this time, his campaign will pick up steam and leave all

behind. Kerry's good run will be halted in the second week of February and Dean

will start to cruise ahead.

 

[Disclaimer: As an astrologer, I am not at all infallible. This prediction need

not come true. A lot of different factors can lead to a failed prediction,

including, but not limited to, inaccurate birthdata and half-baked knowledge. I

cannot guarantee against either! :-( ]

 

Those who are more interested in astrological analysis than predictions may want to read on!

The birthdata of Howard Dean is 17 Nov 1948, 7:21 pm (EST), New York City. This

data is rated A for accuracy by Lois Rodden's site. Please see:

 

http://www.astrodatabank.com/NM/DeanHoward.htm

 

Some basic checks:

 

(1) Gemini lagna makes him intellectual and analytical. Guru-Mangala yoga in 7th

makes him an outspoken person of integrity.

 

(2) The 5th lord debilitated in 4th may seem like a bad placement, but it is

not. If you note that Mercury (5th lord) and Venus (4th lord) are exchanging

houses, you'll see that Venus gives the results of exalted Mercury in 4th and

Mercury gives the result of moolatrikona Venus in 5th! They give a great raja

yoga and bring blessings of Vishnu (the Hindu god of sustenance). This yoga

brings fame, power and support. In fact, it was during Mercury period-Venus

sub-period as per Lagna Vimsottari dasa that he was first elected as the

Governor of Vermont.

 

(3) D-10 (chart pf career) has 10th lord Sun with Rahu, confirming a medical

profession. The 10th lord in 9th shows an independent nature in profession.

 

(4) I have rectified the D-60 lagna to Aq from Cp for reasons I cannot explain here.

 

This chart seems reasonably accurate.

Now, let us check the annual TP chart (annul lunar return chart) of 2003-04.

Data is: 10 Dec 2003, 12:38:30 am (EST).

 

Hora lord is Mercury and he is the ruler of the year. He is the lagna and 10th

lord in rasi chart. He is in the 15th deg of Sg, while 9th lord Venus is in the

23rd deg of Sg and 5th lord Saturn is in the 18th deg of Ge. Clearly, Mercury

has an excellent raja yoga with Venus and Saturn. This is likely to be a good

year.

 

Now let us look at the annual Tithi Ashtottari dasa:

 

Tithi Ashtottari Dasa of Janma tithi (useful especially in Tithi Pravesha charts):

 

Maha Dasas:

 

Moon: 2003-11-27 (00:33:53) - 2004-01-16 (04:59:50) Mars: 2004-01-16 (04:59:50)

- 2004-02-11 (11:32:57) Merc: 2004-02-11 (11:32:57) - 2004-04-07 (03:55:02) Sat:

2004-04-07 (03:55:02) - 2004-05-09 (09:26:30) Jup: 2004-05-09 (09:26:30) -

2004-07-10 (11:40:10) Rah: 2004-07-10 (11:40:10) - 2004-08-19 (16:57:50) Ven:

2004-08-19 (16:57:50) - 2004-10-26 (17:12:54) Sun: 2004-10-26 (17:12:54) -

2004-11-15 (17:12:50) Moon: 2004-11-15 (17:12:50) - 2005-01-04 (19:57:39)

 

Unfortunately, Mars dasa is quite bad. Why?

 

In rasi chart, Mars is the 8th lord in 7th, showing great disappointments. Being

the 8th lord afflicting A10 (arudha pada of 10th), he brings obstacles and

disappointments in work. In D-10 also, he is a malefic and afflicts 9th lord

and AL lord Saturn. Interestingly, some temper shown in one public performance

was behind some of the beating his imahe took (Mars afflicting AL lord in

6th=image tampering with temper)!

 

>From whatever angle we see, Mars dasa is not a good dasa. It undoes a lot of promise in the chart.

 

However, is it likely to continue like this for ever? No! Why?

 

On Feb 11, the dasa will change to Mercury and that dasa will last for two

months. Mercury is the ruler of the year and takes part in great raja yogas in

rasi chart. Even in D-10, he has a raja yoga with Jupiter. Being with Jupiter

in the 3rd from AL in a fiery sign in D-10, he gives the image of an idealist

in firm control of his emotions. So the beating his image took will be undone

and he will come across much better and will also start accumulating more

delegates.

 

Soon after (or even a little before) Mercury dasa starts, the dynamic will

change in Dean's favor. The political pundits who are writing the obituary of

his campaign now will sing praises of his spirited comeback. Atleast, that is

what I believe will happen!

 

Watch your favorite TV channel to watch the drama unfold!

May Jupiter's light shine on us,Narasimha

Narsimhaji, Namastey.

 

Thanks for sharing the analyis on Dean. He is my favorite

Presedential Candidate.

 

I have posted the birth data of a very important person yesterday.

The difference is that folks here don't know who he/she is? Knowing

the details of a person might lead to some natural guess work. I

want to see if some one could guess or narrow down the event which

took place in last 4 days and another related event which might take

place in next few months?

 

I will be anxious to know if somone could tell and predict correctly

by just looking at Astrological data, with no knowledge of

background of the person. Having said it, I undretsand that no one

is perfect and astrology is a complicated science. I have posted the

person's birth data to the best of my knowledge. If some questions

need to be answered in order to rectify the birth time, I will try

my best to get those answers.

 

Thanks again.
