Rahul, born on June 19, 1970 at 5.50 am has been Jyesta Nakshtra whose sign lord is mercury.

The technique of prediction is where the importance is given to the rotation of Jupiter and other aspects related to the star lord, sub lord and its co-relation with the other planets. Further, in this predictive technique the present transit, as well as the progressed chart is joined, associated, bracketed and the necessary connectivities are established, which give the basis of the results. The significance of this system is that if there is always a need of correction to be done in the time of mutual relationships of different charts at different times as explained above to connect in a systematic way.

The moon, in the case of Shri Rahul Gandhi falls in Nakshtra of ‘Jyesta.’ The ‘Jyesta’ word symbolizes being the eldest. It also signifies umbrella, which gives protection. The personality of the native can be summarized as, “a sense of arriving or becoming.” The energies of those born in this Nakshtra are channelized with great importance given that everything they do should be perceived by others in the right perspective. They usually mature quickly both physically and mentally. They have a steak of revenge and a vindictive tendency. More over, they have a strong competitive spirit and have the ability to be protecteve towards the weak, subordinate, helpless and unprivileged. Depression can set in, when the circumstances don’t allow constant activity of some kind. In the case of this horoscope, mercury is the main planetary ruler of the Nakshtra and here all energies get refined and controlled to become focused on the mind, which is represented by Moon. Mercury, an intellect guides the moon and such people are born to take care of the masses.

The native (Rahul Gandhi) has completed his 35th year and entered 36th. Jupiter, therefore, in rotation, is in Sagittarius. Jupiter in the 3rd round from the period 36 to 48 (Jupiter to stay in Sagittarius for 12 years as per Bhrigu Nandi System) shows an excellent and an overall period, which would be very good of its kind and can be rated as ‘First Class’. Jupiter is in its own house with Saturn in 5th from it, which empowers the person to act and take big steps. The depositor of Jupiter is in the 11th from its sign, which signifies gain, though there would be pins and pricks as it is in its inimical house of Libra. Jupiter is also aspected by Sun and Mars, which will provide political position and aggressive manner in performing activity, acts, deeds and accomplishing things within time frame. The only negative aspect is Venus being in the 8th house from rotated Jupiter, which governs issues of emotion, love, marriage and these would be areas, where dissatisfaction would prevail, issues will be unresolved, needs and problems will be unfulfilled. I am however, restricting my predictions/analysis on the professional aspect and the periods which would give glory in his career.

Coming to the specifics, by end of August 2005, my view is that the individual will not seek for position but will have meticulously planned out in terms of relating to the masses. This is because of transiting Jupiter in Virgo and its lord Mercury, which is 9th from its transiting position, 6th from the rotated Jupiter and the lord of Mercury that is Venus is in Cancer (signifies masses), and Ketu ahead (signifying details with Sun and Mars) to Venus in the house of Mercury signifying working towards concrete plans with the authorities for the welfare of the masses.

Thus, my view contrary to the media reports that Shri Rahul Gandhi would join the government or take a political position may not happen but will work towards planning the details and making the authorities, those in power for empowering the party and thus focusing on the essence and substance as the main central and essential part for the core of nation.

From August 2005 to July 2006 will be a period, where his prestige will increase. He will, however, devote a lot of his energies in handling issues, which are not directly related to his Central or Core objective. Nevertheless, during this period, he will emerge as a leader.

The period of 2007 to 2008, I would not go in details as it is in this period he will consolidate himself and take actions in removing people/re-organizing the set-up around. This would have its own share of problems but set the foundation for the future.

The year 2008 and 2009 will be the turning point and here he will be bestowed upon a very high position with authority and power directly held. This is because of the aspect of Sun and Mars on the transiting Jupiter, which is also the place were rotated Jupiter is stationed and has the aspect of Sun and Mars. This is the starting point of a great career and future for the native and would have a lot of achievements and credentials for himself for the next two and a half years.

This is my analysis based on my understanding of the Bhrigu Techniques as deciphered.

To conclude, I must say that the horoscope clearly indicates prestigious position coming after hard work and planning. The position of power and authority arrives in the year 2008 but caution should be exercised in terms of avoiding accidents.

My research and statistics shows that Jupiter retrograde in Libra, marriage and issues allied to it are not really in control and a hidden hand guides and scripts the life.
