Election day Jihad?

[Guest guest]

Namaste Jyotisha,

With the presidential elections looming on the horizon in a couple of

weeks, already we are getting reports of voter registration fraud in some

states, and that lawsuits have been filed as a result. Are we

gearing up for another repeat of the last election, in which we did not

know who the new president would be until a month after election

day? Case in point: a lawyer and congressman in Florida

recently filed a lawsuit alleging that the new electronic voting machines

there could easily be corrupted given that they produce no paper trail

and thus there is no real proof as to which candidate a voter might have

chosen.

Now, there is also the question of terrorist attacks on polling venues

which could send panic into the collective voter minds, thus either

delaying or putting the electoral process into disarray, at least

temporarily.

If either of the above scenarios were to take place, then naturally

choosing November 2nd as election day to decide which of George W. Bush

or John Kerry would win astrologically, might produce contradictory

results.

All of this occurred to me yesterday when looking at the Daily Tithi

Pravesh Charts (DTPC) if both Bush and Kerry on November 2, 2004.

Some interesting parallels between the charts come up, making view of the

clear winner a bit blurry. Anyway, here are the chart

details:

John Kerry

Daily TP

November 2,

2004

Time: 3:26:39

Time Zone: 6:00:00 (West of GMT)

Place: 104 W 59'

03", 39 N 44' 21"

George W. Bush

Daily TP

November 2,

2004

Time: 1:06:41

Time Zone: 4:00:00 (West of GMT)

Place: 72 W 55' 43",

41 N 18' 29"

Now, in light of the above points of interest, both charts have Leo

lagna, with lagna lord debilitated in the 3rd, and conjoining Mars and

Ketu. Mars will just have entered Libra, and thus the conjunction

with Ketu is quite close. Ketu and Mars are key planets in the

matter of sudden violent attacks, as we saw on 9/11 when they conjoined

in the sign of Sagittarius. Also note the Shastiamsa

positions: Mars is in a Ghora (something terrible or horrible) D-60

division, whereas Ketu is in a Sarpa D-60 Amsa. These

positions give a little more "teeth" to the argument that some

kind of sudden, violent attack could occur with the intent of disrupting

or reversing the expected outcome of the election. Also

Sun/Mars/Ketu fall in the A6, which could increase the possibilities of

either attacks, or at the very least legal conflicts that would confuse

or delay the outcome of the election. Further, their dispositor

Venus joins 8th lord Jupiter, and is aspected by 6th lord Saturn, setting

the stage for legal action to take place following the election.

So who wins when the rasi DTPC of both candidates is the same? The

Sun's position in debilitation as the Lagna lord, and in company

with Ketu and Mars in the A6 suggests that neither wins on that

day! Or, it may be that both candidates think that they are the

winner. Go figure. You would suspect this seeing that on

the following day, i.e. 11/3, both DTPC's have the Jupiter/Venus

Raja-yoga on the ascendant. So neither one concedes defeat, and

both think that they have won. Or at least, that is the way I read

it.

Anyway, there is more on this topic i.e. election outcome and TP

charts. There are arguments that could be put forward when seeing

the D-9 and D-10 of these charts, but I would like to hear other's

opinions on the above, especially Sanjay's and Narasimha's. For

example, the annual TP charts have their tales to tell as well.

Best wishes,

Robert
