A recent poll shows that many Democratic voters are worried about Joe Biden's mental fitness to be president after a shaky debate. The poll indicates that 72% of registered voters think he doesn't have the mental and cognitive abilities needed for the job, up from 65% in an earlier poll. Mr. Biden's hoarse voice and unclear answers during the recent debate have raised concerns among some Democrats about his candidacy, prompting calls for him to step aside.
Let's evaluate the concerns raised using his chart to understand the reality through Indian astrology.
In Indian astrology, when the Lagna Lord Mars is in the 12th house, it suggests issues like mental distress, isolation, and potential challenges from adversaries. When Mars exchanges places with Venus[12th Lord] in the Lagna (1st house) at critical degrees in Mrityu Bhag, known as parivartana yoga, it affects vitality, assertiveness, and harmony in personal and public life.
The placement of Lagna Lord Mars in the 12th house and the 12th Lord Venus in the Lagna with the 10th Lord Sun, under the influence of exalted and strong[Vargottama,5th Lord ] Jupiter, raises concerns about health, especially at the age of 81. Additionally, the presence of the 8th Lord Mercury conjunct Mars in the 12th house adds to these health worries, indicating potential issues related to calamities, fear, and chronic diseases.
According to the classical text Jatakalankar, chapter six, verse[Shloka] six, when the LagnaLord exchanges places with the Lord of the 12th House, the native tends to be hostile towards others, lacks intelligence, is miserly, and experiences unstable health and wealth. The aspect of exalted Jupiter on Venus in the critical degrees of Mrityu Bhag in the Lagna (1st house) is a redeeming factor. The presence of exalted and Vargottama Jupiter in the 9th house suggests high-quality physicians are available to him for his health care.
Currently, he is under the Saturn-Saturn-Moon Vimshottari Dasha. The Moon is placed in the 6th house, associated with disease, and is under the aspect of Mercury, the 8th Lord related to chronic diseases and calamities. This configuration is not favorable. Additionally, Mars, the 6th Lord[Injury from poison] , is also casting its aspect, which further complicates the situation. In the Navamansha chart, Moon is positioned in the 9th house along with Saturn, which is a Yogakaraka (auspicious planet). Mercury, the 12th Lord and 9th Lord, also joins them. However, Mars, the 2nd Lord and a Maraka (significator of death), casts its aspect on this combination. This presence of two malefic planets (Saturn and Mars) along with Rahu afflicting Moon in the Navamansha chart is noteworthy.
The upcoming Saturn-Saturn-Mars Vimshottari Dasha starting from 13th September 2024 will be a challenging period for his health. Mars will be positioned in the 12th house, involved in a sign exchange with Venus in critical degrees of Mrityu Bhag. This situation is complicated by Mercury's presence as the 8th Lord in the 12th house, which typically signifies health challenges.
However, there are some mitigating factors. The aspect of Moon the 9th Lord (associated with healing or medicines) on Mars provides some relief. Additionally, the aspect of Jupiter (signifying physicians or guidance) offers a saving grace during this period.
According to Indian astrology, he will face significant health challenges starting from the last week of July due to the Dwisaptati Sama Dasha and Shastihayini Dasha patterns.
In the Dwisaptati Sama Dasha[7th Lord Venus in Lagna], he will be under Mars-Rahu-Mars from 30th July 2024. Mars, the Lagna Lord, is placed in the 12th house with the 8th Lord Mercury, involved in a sign exchange with Venus in critical degrees of Mrityu Bhag. This configuration suggests a period of difficulty.
Simultaneously, in the Shastihayini Dasha[Sun in Lagna] starting from 26th July 2024, he will be under Mars-Venus-Venus. This further indicates health challenges, particularly involving Mars and Venus.
Despite these challenges, there are some positive influences. The aspect of Jupiter, which signifies physicians or guidance, falls on Lagna, Venus, Sun, and Moon[10th from Jupiter]aspecting Lagna Lord Mars (Moon associated with healing or medicines), which may provide some management and support during this tough period.
It's noteworthy that Moon[9th Lord] and Jupiter[5th Lord] are forming the Gajkesari Yoga, which signifies a harmonious connection between medicine (Moon) and physician (Jupiter). This auspicious yoga suggests that despite the health challenges indicated by the astrological dashas, there is a potential for effective treatment and guidance from knowledgeable medical professionals.
In conclusion, based on Indian astrology insights:
Starting from the last week of July 2024, significant health challenges are indicated due to the Dwisaptati Sama Dasha and Shastihayini Dasha patterns. During this period, Mars' influence, especially in the 12th house with the 8th Lord Mercury under a sign exchange with Venus, suggests potential difficulties. However, the presence of the Gajkesari Yoga formed by Moon and Jupiter provides a positive indication of effective medical treatment and guidance. Overall, while there are tough challenges ahead, the supportive influence of Jupiter and the Gajkesari Yoga offers hope for managing and overcoming health issues during this period.
