What is an Election?

• It’s choosing one candidate from two or more through competition

• When there is a tie , the process is finalizing one among equals through lottery.

• KP houses which needs consideration are 6 and 11 for the chart under consideration and 5 and 12 need also evaluation being opponents 6th and 11th houses. (opponent is seen from 7th house)

• Methods which can be deployed for evaluation are

• Horary Chart

• KP Number Chart

• Natal Chart

• Options Theory

Which method is best?

• Horary or KP Number (1 to 249) is the best method as it gives a magnified picture for a single question at hand and astrologer can focus clearly on all aspects of winning prospects for the candidate under consideration.

• Natal Chart shows that a period is good for the candidate but the case can be same for opponent from his natal chart. In that case whose period is better and who will win finally is very difficult from comparisons of many natal chart who are contesting elections

• Horary(Time) Chart gives mostly correct clue and the interpretations are reliable. However, in a case where both candidate approach the same astrologer within few minutes this method is not fruitful. Mostly, its good for first analysis of the day

How to find winning prospects for a candidate?

• Best Scenario is Candidate himself is asking a question to the astrologer. In this case take a KP Number between 1 to 249 from the candidate after apprising him about how to give the number

• Check the Moon position in the casted chart at the time of judgment

• Moon should signify 6 or 11 or 5 or 12

• After getting moon connectivity, evaluate 6th sublord

• If 6th sub is signifying 6 or 11 and not in retro starlord then it is indicating positive scenario for the candidate

• Check if 11th sublord also confirms the same

• Don’t stop here. Rotate the chart and make 7th house as first house

Evaluate Chances of the Opponent

• From Rotated chart (7th house being Ascendant now), check the 6th and 11th

houses.

• If 6th sub of the rotated chart is siginificator of 6 or 11 then it is favorable to the opponent

• If 6th sub is in retrograde star opponent will lose

• If 6th sub is signifying 5 or 12 then the candidate will win and opponent will lose

• Check from 11th sublord as well.

• Mostly a clear case will emerge that candidate who has given a number will win or lose

50-50?

• If 6th sublord is connected to 6 or 11 and if rotated chart (opponent) 6th sublord is connected to 6 or 11 then there is no clear conclusion from the analysis. Next step is

• Analyze the Dasa Bhukti and Antara

• If the dasa and bhukti is signifying 6 and 11 for the candidate then he/she will win. If there is no clear verdict from dasa or bhukti being connected to both houses 6-11 or 5-12 or connected to unconnected houses to the issue then evaluate Antara

• Antara will clearly indicate candidate or opponent through signification.

• If Antara also is indecisive then check on Moon’s transit. Check on the day of election moon is passing through which star. Whom this star is favoring will decide the result.

Question is asked by close relative or friend of

a candidate

• In this case rotate the chart for the relation. E.g. Qn asked by wife then 7th

house will become the ascendant. Qn. Asked by mother for her son then

rotate the chart to make 5th house as Ascendant.

• Work out the same steps as mentioned in earlier steps for the rotated chart

and decide.

Question by person who has a strong urge but

not related to candidate

• Many a times people do have strong opinions and they do favor a candidate. They would like to know if their candidate will win. For this situation the candidate is known to the querrent through party work, media , newspaper etc. For astrology workout the candidate is a stranger to the querrent.

• Take Ninth house as Ascendant and proceed.

• First step is to check the connectivity of moon and it should connect to 6-11 or 5-12 of the rotated chart where 9th house is ascendant.

• Proceed and work out remaining steps as mentioned earlier.

Astrologer is interested in knowing the fate of

a particular candidate

• Astrologer should take a number between 1 and 249 keeping the winning

prospects of the candidate in mind.

• Take 9th house as Ascendant as the candidate is a stranger to him. If the

candidate is related to him like father, son , sister, mother , elder brother etc.

then the concerned house will become ascendant.

• Proceed further and work out all other steps.

Who will win among a few probable?

• There may be number of candidates contesting for an election. However, there are few which are most probable and if it is to be worked out who will win among them

• Note that here the astrologer is not working out winnabiltiy of one particular candidate. He is not taking a number from candidate or relative or himself.

• In this case astrologer can take number from the person who is interested to know who will win among probable candidates or himself can take the number.

• A KP number is to be asked/taken for each of the probable candidate.

• Each kp number will give sign , star and sub and signlord, starlord and sublord are known. Note signlord , starlord and sublord for each number i.e. for different probable candidate

• Note the RP at the time of decision. RP will match with one of the KP number through signlord, starlord and sublord being present in RP.

• This candidate will win among the shortlisted candidates

Options Theory?• KP Number chart or Horary Time chart is good for deciding winning chances of

the candidate under consideration.

• When the question posed is how many seats for a party or How many votes a candidate will get in an election the single line approach is not useful

• Options Theory is choosing one option among a range of options which can run in single digit or many digits.

• Basic principle is to take no. of probable options and then match the right one with the help of ruling planets at the moment.

• Where can I get details on option theory?
