Analysis
The Ascendant rising is Taurus at 18.36 degrees in the nakshatra of Rohini, lorded by Moon. Moon is in the 8th house, tithi shunya rasi. This is the combination for deep tantra, mantra, spiritualism, occult and sadhana. Moon is lord of 3rd house. Moon is in the Purvashada lorded by Venus and it is afflicted as it is debilitated. The 3rd house and 8th houses are houses of longevity and health. Moon is also in trine to Ketu in Aries which is in the star of Bharani lorded by Venus. These combinations have resulted in him being in controversies. The current dasa is of Jupiter from January 22, 2012 to January 20, 2028. Within the dasa of Jupiter it is the antara of Mars from September 21, 2024 to August 28, 2025. Mars is in the 4th house (signifying property holdings) and lord of 7th house (signifying public image) and lord of 12th house (signifying investments). Mars is in Leo at 23.36 degrees in Purvaphalguni star lorded by Venus. Ketu is connected with Mars as it is in the star of Bharani lorded by Venus.

Beginning next year from May 30, 2025 the transit Ketu will transit sign Leo afflicting the four planets Mars, Sun, Moon and Ketu. This will be the period when his property holdings, public image, health, etc will get affected. The Ketu will stay in the sign Leo for about one and half years beginning from May 30, 2025. So, this period will be very challenging for him. The current dasa of Jupiter which is in the sign Kanya (Virgo) is at 12.05 degrees and is afflicted by the transit Ketu till May 30, 2025. Jupiter signifies Judiciary and its affliction by transit Ketu intensifies the action by Judiciary. Jupiter is also lord of 8th and the 11th houses.
