D10 Analysis

D10 Lagna: Pisces

Jupiter (Lagna lord + 10th lord) in 7th house: Businessman. Jupiter in 7th = owns his own enterprise, self-employed, venture capitalist.

Ketu in 10th house (9th lord): 9th lord in 10th = very good placement for career fortune. Mars also aspecting 10th house. Other 9th lord Mars aspecting 9th house and 9th lord.

From Sun: Ninth lord Moon in 10th house; 10th lord Jupiter in Lagna (friendly sign), aspecting 10th house = 9th+10th link from Sun.

From Moon: Lagna lord Jupiter in 4th quadrant, aspecting 10th house; Mars (Yogakaraka from Moon) in 11th house with Rahu and Saturn = Yogakaraka in 11th from Moon with 7th and 9th lords = major gains.

Businessman nature confirmed: Jupiter in Varuna Dashaamsha (business/trade); Ketu and Mars in Varuna Dashaamsha = trading, business.

Dasha Analysis

Moon Mahadasha (career success):

From Sun: Moon = 9th lord in 10th house
From Lagna: Moon = 5th lord
Moon Dasha = success and recognition

Mars Mahadasha (biggest career success — Bain Capital fortune):

From Moon: Yogakaraka in 11th house with 7th lord Rahu and 9th lord Saturn = "seventh lord + ninth lord together in 11th = business fortune in gains/certification"
From Lagna: 9th lord aspecting 10th house and 10th lord; with 11th lord = 9th+11th link
From Sun: Lagna lord in 8th house (sudden/unexpected gains; risk-taking paying off); aspecting 11th house
Link with 11th house from ALL three references = "period of great material gain"
Mars has Ucha Drishti (exaltation-sign aspect) on 11th house from Lagna

Rahu Mahadasha (mixed — some setbacks, some success):

Rahu closer to Mars (benefic) in D10 = Rahu acts as benefic
From Moon: 7th lord in 11th = gain through partnerships/business
From Sun: 4th lord in 8th = some instability
Lost two political bids: 1994 Senate (Rahu-Rahu) and 2008 presidential concession (Rahu-Sun)
Won governorship 2002: Rahu-Venus
Venus (Rahu-Venus) analysis: 8th lord in 12th = Upadesha Raja Yoga; aspecting 5th lord Moon (link with 5th = power); from Sun: 7th lord in quadrant; from Dasha lord Rahu: Venus = 5th lord in 9th = excellent for power. Power given by Rahu-Venus.

Jupiter Mahadasha (current):

From Sun + Moon: Jupiter = 5th lord (power house)
From Lagna: Jupiter = Lagna lord, but limited 5th house connection
Power possible from 2 of 3 references = "may or may not give power"
Saturn Antardasha: Saturn has 10th aspect on 5th house (from Moon and Sun), aspecting 5th lord Moon from Lagna
Saturn = 5th lord from Jupiter's perspective (in 10th house from Jupiter) = power possible during this year

SKC Dasha Analysis (Sudarshan Chakra Dasha)

2012 Annual chart (D10 Tajaka):

5th lord Sun and 10th lord Saturn together in 8th house (close but enemies = some weakness)
10th house contains Mars and Mercury = Dura Yoga; Mars is 8th lord (setbacks)
Contrast with 2011 chart: Lagna lord Venus + 5th lord Mercury in 11th (clear power)
2012 chart shows "being in limelight but fading; fall possible"

PVR's 2012 prediction:

Romney will likely win Republican nomination
Will lose general election to Obama
Mercury Dasha in 2012 annual chart (during elections): Mercury = 6th/8th lord afflicting Lagna lord from all three references = "all three references show Mercury as bad planet; Mercury dasha just before elections = not conducive to winning"
SKC Dasha confirmed: Huntsman had no hope; Romney likely nominee but likely to lose general

Key Teaching Points

Lagna lord + 10th lord Jupiter in 7th house = businessman (self-employed venture capitalist)
Mars in 11th from Moon as Yogakaraka with 7th+9th lords = Mahadasha of massive financial gain
Upadesha Raja Yoga (8th lord in 12th): Even in this position, Venus gave political power because of 5th house connection from all references
2012 annual D10 chart weaker than 2011: When annual chart lacks clear power combinations, election loss more likely
SKC Dasha for political analysis: 5th house strength from all three progressed references = political success indicator
