Politics with the eyes of Astrology

In the illusion of human life some survive, some succumb, some procure super success and some fall down in dump. Politicians are public figures as they get pomp and power. Astrologically, politicians are blessed with nectar of the first house (place of self strength), second house (place of eloquence), third house (place of prowess), fourth house (place of faith of masses), fifth house (place of analysis and logic), ninth house (place of augmentation and auspiciousness) and tenth house (place of occupation and administration). However, a person who is bestowed with the benefics of major houses of the horoscope, is sometimes victim of malefic houses, ie, 6, 8 and 12th. This is true - dominance of propitious houses lifts the native to dazzling heights of name, fame and prosperity but a little effect of the arrogance of these malefic houses calls the moment when everything suddenly, some how, changes to doom.
The mechanical and biological strength of physical body of the native is represented by ascendant and its lord in the horoscope. Influence of benefic planets - waxing Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus on ascendant and/or its lord is beneficial for the individual to make him driven, energetic, ambitious, successful and long-lived, but if the ascendant is related to 8th or 12th house, the native suffers setbacks and unnatural death either by some sort of accident or assassination. Generally, ascendants of politicians are strong enough to bear various pressures, tensions and anxieties. Even then, if ascendant or its lord is hemmed in by malefics or related to 8th or 12th house or their lords, probability of assassination of the native emerges out.
Hindu astrology reveals 8th house as a place of death and hence considers the worst of all the three malefic houses - 6th, 8th and 12th. In fact, 8th house describes longevity and mode of the end of the life. Mantreshwar in Phaladeepika says - If the ascendant lord and 8th lord both are mutual friends, the native will be long lived. Similar situation is created when the lord of the sign in which Moon is posited and the lord of the 8th house from the Moon sign are mutual friends. It is apparent in the chart of Morarji Desai. Ascendant lord Mercury and 8th lord Saturn both are not inimical to friendship. Also, the Sun (lord of the sign where Moon is posited) and the Jupiter (lord of the 8th place from the Moon) both are natural friends. Benefic planets - Mercury, Jupiter and Venus in the 8th house increase the longevity and predict a peaceful natural death while malefic planets such as Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu and Uranus are indicative of unnatural death either by accident, suicide, wounds, fire, weapon or electric shock. Possibility of such mis-happening increases as the affliction to the 8th place increases.
As per astrologer's view 12th house is the most unfortunate place of the horoscope because it is related to delusion, seclusion, loss, expense, secret enemies, imprisonment and unseen troubles. It is the opinion that if there is no planet in the 12th house and its lord is posited in 3rd or 8th house or aspected by Saturn (not by Mars or Rahu), the evil characteristics of this house get minimised and the horoscope gains some extra strength. Saturn is distinguished from Mars and Rahu in the sense that while Saturn is a planet of delay, harassment and punishment, Mars and Rahu are planets of hurt, injury, arrogance, excitement, explosions and fire. Saturn ultimately bestows peace and progress to the native but Mars and Rahu lead to an awful situation. Thus the influence of the latter on 12 th house and its lord is not conduicive for peaceful life.
We find 12th and 6th houses both signify enemies, injuries, sorrows and obstacles but there is a little demarcation that while the 12th house stands for secret enemies and their conspiracy, the 6th house stands for open field enemies. If there is influence of benefics on 6th house and its lord, the native gets rid of his enemies. Thus it is the affliction to the 12th house or its lord that stands for assassination.
Astrologers know that benefic or malefic functions of planets not only depend upon their intrinsic nature but also on their lordship. Sun, Mars, Saturn and Rahu-Ketu are evil by nature, Sun being the least and Rahu-Ketu being the most. Although the latter shadowy planets denote poisoning, secret intrigues, sudden events, assassination etc but they do not function independently. If they occupy evil places or get associated with evil planets, their adverse effect is increased tremendously. However, Saturn if linked to fatal places is considered as a first grade killer. Whereas Mars, Saturn and Rahu-Ketu are considered first grade malefics, the natural benefics - waxing Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus synchronize them if they get posited in 2nd or 7th houses or get lordship their of.
" 8th house is a place of longevity. 8th place from the 8th house, ie, the third house is also a place of longevity. The twelfth places from both (8th and 3rd) are 7th and 2nd houses which act as killer of the native, the 7th being more fatal than the 2nd"
It is observed that many politicians were assassinated when they were undergoing the period of fatal planets, ie, lords of 2nd or 7th houses. If Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu get involved with 2nd, 6th, 7th, 8th or 12th house or with their lord, the probability of assassination is increased.
