THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIO­NS OF SONIA GANDHI

THE UPA CHAIRPERSO­N IS IN FOR SOME TOUGH TIMES TILL 2019, FORETELL THE STARS

-

UPA chairperso­n Sonia Gandhi has been going through some testing times lately with the Agusta Westland chopper deal blowing up on her face. The veteran politician has been described as the “driving force” by an Italian court while finding the Italian officials of the company guilty of bribery charges.

The judgment stipulates how the UPA-led government in India and the officials at the NSA delayed producing the required documents to the investigat­ors to cover up the money-trail following the Rs 3,600 crore deal.

With things not going her way, we take a look at what the stars have in store for Sonia Gandhi in the coming days.

SONIA GANDHI

Date of Birth: December 9, 1946 Time of Birth: 21:30 Place of Birth: Lusiana, Italy

STAR SPEAK

Sonia was born in Cancer ascendant and she is currently under the influence of Ketu Mahadasha and Rahu Bhukti.

This period will remain very troublesom­e for her as Rahu is placed in the Badhaka Sthana (House of Troubles). The period indicates obstructio­ns, legal hassles, turbulence and mental unrest. In this period, she will be constantly prone to controvers­ies and will get dragged into complicati­ons. Her leadership and strategic skills will face a litmus test during this period.

Also, Ketu is placed with the Sun in the fifth House. The Sun happens to be the Maraka plan- et in her chart and its conjunctio­n with Ketu may not augur well for her. So, the entire seven-year period of Ketu, which will run till 2019, will not be entirely positive for her. As the Sun is associated with natural malefic Ketu, her troubles may get escalated.

The Maraka planet Sun is also aspecting Rahu in the 11th house, indicating legal issues and health problems as well. This shows that there will be lot of struggle and will require extraordin­ary efforts to manage her image.

The prolonged stay of Mars in Scorpio with Saturn will also remain stressful for her. One thing to be noted here is that Mars and Saturn will be transiting in a retrograde motion till June and August respective­ly. So, these configurat­ions present a scary picture and things may keep getting messier.

The Agusta Westland case as well as other legal issues may continue to haunt her.

SOME GOOD NEWS

However, she will be under the protective influence of the Jupiter sub-period from August 10, 2016. In her chart, Jupiter forms an excellent combinatio­n in the 4th House, which renders great strength to her chart. Thus, this period will help her tackle the serious charges and there may give her some respite from the heat that she may face till then.
