Conclusion (For detailed astrological analysis read the analysis section):
The below mentioned planetary combinations will result in bad public image and some internal family disturbances. There will be rift within the BJP too. Some defections from BJP to other parties are also possible. He can also be caught in some scam and get defamed. During this period his health also can get affected. Due to all these, he will not be able to get majority for the BJP. As BJP will not be able to get majority, there will be horse trading by BJP to garner Independent MLAs in order to attain the magic figure of 145 seats (if the number of seats falls short of by a few seats). In astrology, there is no methodology to predict the exact number of seats. In absence of BJP not getting the required number of seats (if it falls way below the magic figure of 145 seats), it is likely that the NCP (SP), SS (UBT) and INC all can come together to form the government in Maharashtra. However, it is clear that BJP on its own under the leadership of Devendra Fadnavis will not be able to achieve the majority. His period of Dec 2025 to March 2028 will be full of challenges with respect to health, going to prison, hospitalisation, etc.
Analysis:
Devendra Fadnavis was born 22 July 1970 at 10.45 am at Nagpur, Maharashtra. He is the current serving Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra since June 30, 2022, along with Ajit Pawar. He previously held the position of Chief Minister of Maharashtra from 31 October 2014 to 12 November 2019. From 2019 to 2022, he served as the Leader of the Opposition in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly and was the President of BJP’s Maharashtra state unit from 2013 to 2015. He became Chief Minister at the age of 44, making him the second-youngest in Maharashtra’s history after Sharad Pawar. During the 2019 Maharashtra political crisis, he briefly held a second term as Chief Minister for 5 days before resigning on November 28, 2019. Fadnavis has been a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). He has represented the Nagpur South West constituency in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly since 2009, having previously served Nagpur West from 1999 to 2009. Additionally, he held the position of Mayor of Nagpur from 1997 to 2001. Fadnavis began his political career in the mid-nineties. Since that time he served in multiple leadership roles for both his political party and as an elected representative. As a college student, Fadnavis was an active member of the BJP affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), and in the year 1992 at the age of 22 he became a Corporator. 5 years later, in 1997, Fadnavis at 27 became the youngest mayor of the Nagpur Municipal Corporation and became the second-youngest mayor in the history of India. Fadnavis is representing Nagpur in the Legislative Assembly of Maharashtra State (Vidhan Sabha) since 1999.
The term of the current Maharashtra State Assembly is scheduled to end in 2024, with the next legislative assembly election expected to be held in or before October 2024 to elect all 288 members of the state’s legislative assembly. However, the Election Commission of India has yet to confirm or announce the dates for the electoral polls. Following Uddhav Thackeray’s resignation in 2022, the Maharashtra State Assembly is now led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, with Devendra Fadnavis serving as Deputy Chief Minister and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) playing a key role in the current government structure in Maharashtra. Given below is the chart of Devendra Fadnavis.
The rising Ascendant is Virgo at 13.27 deg. The dasa running at the time of elections in Oct 2024 will be of Ketu/Saturn from Nov 15, 2023 to Dec 24, 2024. Ketu is in the 12th house and Saturn is in the 8th house and in debilitation. Ketu in the D9 chart is debilitated and Saturn is in the 8th house. The transit Rahu/Ketu axis will be exactly on the Asc degree at 12.26 deg in Pisces/Virgo axis. Moon in Aquarius at 22.59 deg in the 6th house will be afflicted by transit retrograde Saturn at 20.07 deg. During the period of the peak election campaign in Sept mid, the Asc lord and the 10th lord (signifying profession and status) Mercury at 21.36 deg in Cancer is afflicted by transit retrograde Saturn in Aquarius. The 3rd and the 8th lord Mars at 9.05 deg in Cancer will be afflicted by transit Rahu in Pisces at 12 deg. The transit Rahu/Ketu is also afflicting the 4th/10th axis by making a “T” square.
In the D10 chart, which is seen for professional success, the rising sign is Virgo at 14.32 deg. The transit Rahu/Ketu is afflicting the Asc/Dsc axis. The transit Rahu/Ketu is also afflicting the Moon in the Asc and also natal Rahu/Ketu. In the D10, Maandi is placed in the sign Aquarius and transit Saturn is conjunct with it. Transit Jupiter though having its beneficial aspect of natal Venus in Capricorn, its power to get him to the success is limited as the malefic aspects are more than the benefic aspects in the D10 chart.
Transit Saturn Rx is also conjunct the Bhrigu Point in Aquarius.
The transit Ketu entering the Arc of Sun-Mercury-Venus in Leo at 17.34 deg from Dec 2025 to March 2028 will be full of challenges with respect to health, going to prison, hospitalisation, etc.
The above planetary combinations will result in bad public image and some internal family disturbances. There will be rift within the BJP too. Some defections from BJP to other parties are also possible. He can also be caught in some scam and get defamed. During this period his health also can get affected. Due to all these, he will not be able to get majority for the BJP. As BJP will not be able to get majority, there will be horse trading by BJP to garner Independent MLAs in order to attain the magic figure of 145 seats (if the number of seats falls short of by a few seats). In astrology, there is no methodology to predict the exact number of seats. In absence of BJP not getting the required number of seats (if it falls way below the magic figure of 145 seats), it is likely that the NCP (SP), SS (UBT) and INC all can come together to form the government in Maharashtra. However, it is clear that BJP on its own under the leadership of Devendra Fadnavis will not be able to achieve the majority.
