Introduction

Actor Kamal Haasan widely known as Ulaganayajan is widely regarded as the best actor of India and among the best in the world. He is known for playing many legendary and iconic roles that have been immortalized as case studies for film enthusiasts around the world. In this post, we will explore the last few years of his career and look at how 2025 and beyond are for him. In a recent blog post, I talked about his upcoming film Indian 3, which is having production delays.

Kamal Haasan Family

Kamal Haasan was born as Parthasarathy Srinivasan in a Brahmin Iyengar family. His father later renamed him as Kamal Haasan. He has often mentioned that he is an atheist and does not believe in God. He has two brothers and a sister. His first wife was dancer Vaani Ganapathy. Actress Sarika was his second wife. He has 2 daughters with Sarika – Shruti Haasan and Akshara Haasan. He later had a relationship with actress Gautami.

Kamal Haasan Career Highlights

With a career spanning more than 6 decades, he has worked in Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada and Bengali films. He has donned many hats, including singer, dancer, writer, dancer, producer etc. He has always adopted latest technology and filmmaking techniques in his productions. His production house Raaj Kamal Films International is very successful for decades.

Kamal Haasan has received numerous national and internal awards and accolades, including Padma Shri, Shri and Padma Bhushan awards given by the government of India. He has also received numerous film awards in India and abroad. Ulaganayagan has worked in over 230 films. He has multiple films in the pipeline including Thug Life, which is slated for a June 2025 release.

Kamal Haasan’s next film – Thug Life

Thug Life has attracted a lot of attention as Kamal Haasan and director Mani Ratnam are working together after a gap of 37 years. Their last collaboration, Nayagan (1987) has since become a cult classic. Hence the audience is eagerly awaiting the film.

Kamal Haasan Birth details

Kamal Haasan was born on November 7, 1954 at Paramkudi in Tamil Nadu, India at approximately 6:41 AM. His birth chart is given below.

Kamal Haasan Birth chart

Kamal Haasan Zodiac sign

If we consider the above birth chart, the Zodiac sign of Kamal Haasan is Libra whereas his Moon Sign (Rashi) is Pisces. The rising sign (Ascendant) is Libra. His birth Nakshatra is Purva Bhadrapada.

Current period

From June 2024 to April 2025, he is under the Major period of Sun and Minor period of Mercury. In his chart, Sun and retrograde Mercury are in the Ascendant. During this time, his production Amaran was quite successful at the box office. As his next film Thug Life nears release, there is a lot of anticipation among fans.

From April 2025 to August 2025, Kamal Haasan is under the Major period of Sun and Minor period of Ketu. In the chart, Sun is in the ascendant with retrograde Mercury, Neptune and Saturn whereas Ketu is in the 9th house Gemini. Since Gemini is also ruled by Mercury, we can expect the trend from last year to continue, to a great extent.

Thug Life release

If we consider the release date of Thug Life – June 5, 2025, we need to consider the Sub period of Rahu which will be in the Major period of Sun and Minor period of Ketu. This Sub period will be from June 5 to June 24. In order to evaluate the fruits of this Sub period, we need to see the signs where Rahu and Ketu are placed in the birth chart, as well as where they will be during the upcoming transit. We will also need to see the year Lord for 2025.

Year Lord

For 2025, Kamal Haasan is ruled by Venus. In his chart, Venus is retrograde in Scorpio. Venus is also the Ascendant Lord in the chart and therefore is auspicious in general. Venus has the 5th aspect of exalted Jupiter, so it’s effects are highly positive. Overall, the year Lord Venus shows that 2025 will be a great year in terms of career.

Rahu and Ketu Lords

In the Birth chart, Rahu is placed in Sagittarius whereas Ketu is placed in Gemini. Mercury is retrograde is in friend Venus’s sign with friends Sun and Saturn. Therefore, Mercury becomes positive. Venus being the Lord of Mercury is also strong. Overall, the positive state of Mercury also shows that Ketu is positive. Secondly, Jupiter being exalted and receiving the 7thaspect from friend Mars and 10th aspect of Saturn is also strong.

Thirdly, as per the Brihat Parashar Hora Shastra by Sage Parashar, positive Jupiter nullifies many of the evils in the birth chart. This chart is a classic example. We can therefore, conclude that Rahu is positive as well.

Rahu and Ketu transits

On May 29, 2025, Rahu will enter Aquarius whereas Ketu will enter Leo. This is a positive placement for both planets. In Kamal Haasan’s chart, Sun (ruler of Leo) and Saturn (ruler of Aquarius) are well placed. Therefore, this transit of the Karmic planets will be positive for Kamal Haasan.

Thug Life Box Office Prediction

Overall, I can safely period that the film will have a decent run between June 5 and June 24. From June 24, the Sub period of Jupiter will begin. We can say that the film will continue doing well during this time as well. I calculate that the film will complete it’s theatrical run by July 11 when the Sub period of Saturn begins.

Looking at the favorable period and ensemble cast of the film, I can predict that the film will not just recover the invested amount but also generate a good profit for the producers. In order to confirm this hypothesis, let us also consider a Prashna for the film.

Prashna details

I cast the Prashna at Mumbai on March 27, 2025 at 2:52:42 AM. My exact question was “What will be the fate of Thug Life?”. Let us consider what the Prashna tells us.

Ascendant

The Ascendant Capricorn has Pluto and receives the 8th aspect of Mars from the 6th house. We also have the 9th aspect of Jupiter from the 5th house. The aspect of Jupiter makes the overall result positive. If we consider the nature of Pluto, it is disruptive and revolutionary, showing that the film may be ahead of the times in terms of content.

Ascendant Lord

The Ascendant Lord Saturn is located in the 2nd house Aquarius with Moon, Mandi and Gulika. While Saturn is in it’s own house, the presence of Mandi and Gulika typically shows the result will be a mixed bag. My assessment is that the film will do well and will bring in profits. Moon is the 7th Lord of business and further indicates profits.

To further ascertain the result, we consider the 4th from Saturn – the 5th house having Uranus and Jupiter shows that the film will make good money and have a gripping storyline.

The third house

The 3rd house has Sun and Rahu along with retrograde Venus and retrograde Mercury. This makes me assume that the film will be the start of a cinematic universe and we can expect further sequels based on the success of the film. Overall, I believe that Mani Ratnam has a whole universe that he aims to create with this film as the baseline.

The eleventh house

We can consider the 11th house to evaluate the profits that the film can expect. The 11th house Scorpio is ruled by Mars and aspected by Jupiter and Saturn. The combined effect of Jupiter and Saturn makes me conclude that the film will definitely make a profit. Mars in the 6th house confirms that the profit will be divided between multiple people.

Conclusion – 2025 Prediction for Kamal Haasan

Overall, 2025 will be an eventful year for Ulaganayagan and as his ardent fan, I wish him success. Thug Life will be another great collaboration between him and ace director Mani Ratnam. So, we can conclude that it will be a game changer in terms of content but how much the film can earn will depend on the audience.

Taylor Swift – An Astrological Perspective

Taylor Swift

Who is Taylor Swift?

Taylor Swift is widely recognized as the most famous and successful singer today in the world. Since an early age, she showed remarkable talent and potential in singing and playing musical instruments. She is more popular than many movie stars, socialites and politicians.

Taylor Swift family

Taylor’s parents are Scott Swift, a former stockbroker and Andrea Swift, a former marketing executive. They have always supported her aspirations and worked very hard to support and motivate her. Austin Swift, her younger brother, is an actor.

Taylor Swift Birthday

Taylor Swift was born on Dec 13, 1989 at West Reading in Pennsylvania, USA at approximately 6:41:52 PM.

Taylor Swift Astrology

In this post, I will talk about Taylor Swift from an Astrological perspective. We will attempt to dissect the astrological factors behind her beauty, talent and fame. As a Vedic Astrologer, my analysis will be based on the sidereal system rather than Tropical. Readers who follow Western Astrology may see some glaring differences. However, a good astrologer following their system well can still derive the same results to a great extent.

What is Taylor Swift Zodiac?

Based on the birth details, Taylor Swift’s Sun Sign of Taylor Swift (a.k.a Zodiac Sign) is Scorpio and her Moon Sign (a.k.a Rashi) is Gemini. Her birth chart is given below.

Taylor Swift birth chart
13 Dec 1989 at West Reading, Pennsylvania, USA at 6:41:52 PM

Taylor Swift Rising Sign

As we can infer from the above chart, Taylor Swift’s rising sign or Ascendant is the same as her Moon Sign, i.e Gemini. As the Moon Sign and Rising Sign are the same, it shows that Taylor Swift is a very focused and determined person as her mind and body are aligned.

General Astrological Profile for Taylor Swift

If we consider the birth chart above, we can infer some general points about Taylor Swift.

1st and 7th house – Gemini and Sagittarius

The Ascendant (a.k.a Lagna) or the 1st house has Moon and retrograde Jupiter, opposed by Mercury, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn in Sagittarius. This is a very powerful combination that not just gives beauty but character and talent as well, especially in the performing arts.

These planets are harmoniously placed with each other. Therefore, we can assume that these planets all contribute together to give Taylor talent, beauty and character. However, a caveat is that Jupiter is retrograde so Taylor may sometimes demonstrate strong passions which may cause troubles for her.

Pluto as a source of wealth

Pluto in Libra makes Taylor unconventional and gives great business sense. This can be confirmed from her wealth which has crossed 1.1 Billion USD despite her relatively young age. In comparison, many actors and singers who are much older than Taylor Swift are far behind her in terms of wealth.

Ketu in the 2nd house

Ketu in Cancer shows that she will leave her birth place and relocate to some other location in early years of her life. At a young age, her parents recognized her interest in music and relocated to Tennessee to promote her musical career.

Formidable 6th house – Scorpio

Mars, Mandi, Gulika and Sun together in Scorpio makes Taylor a person of great passion and ambition. It also shows that she will eventually overpower her enemies. However, this may sometimes lead to her going against popular opinion or even challenging powerful personalities, including politicians. However, this is mitigated to some extent as Mars is in it’s own sign.

Her 3rd Lord Sun is placed in the 6th house. The 3rd house deals with singing whereas the 6th house also deals with occupation. So, we can further confirm how she became a singer and stage performer.

8th house Business Boost

Rahu and Venus in Capricorn give Taylor a strong fan following across the globe, along with towering aspirations and financial luck. As a caveat, this combination does not show very good marriage prospects for her.

Interesting facts on Taylor Swift and their astrological reasons

Moon in the Ardra Nakshatra (constellation) gives her a strong passion towards pets. This can be confirmed as she has 3 pet cats and each of them has also got a lot of fame. An interesting effect about Taylor Swift being a Gemini is that she likes to draw attention to her beautiful arms by generally wearing sleeveless dresses.

Her Arudha Lagna (how people perceive her) is in the 10th house – Pisces. Her career is the main focus and many people even overlook her wealth and prefer to only pay attention to her career related achievements.

A controversial gossip about Taylor Swift is that she has got some cosmetic surgeries done. The 8th aspect of Mars on her Ascendant sign of Gemini, does confirm surgeries. Of course, this is her personal choice and we must respect it.

These points also help to validate that her birth details available with me are quite accurate.

Some important events and their reasons

Let’s discuss some important events in life and the prevailing astrological conditions at the time. This will help to determine the astrological causes as well as repercussions in Taylor Swift’s life.

Start of Songwriting at the age of 12

In 2001, Taylor Swift start writing songs at the age of 12 years. From 2001 to 2002, Taylor was under the Major period of Jupiter and Minor period of Mercury. As I explained above, these planets are very auspicious for Taylor and their effects have led to Taylor’s excellent in music.

In her chart, Jupiter is retrograde in Gemini with Moon whereas Mercury is in Sagittarius with Mercury, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn.

Saturn is considered the planet of career whereas Mercury deals strongly with academics and education. This period had an impact on her education as well as her career. So, we can see how transformative this 2 year period was for Taylor. In addition, Mercury rules over Gemini and Virgo which are her Ascendant and 4th house respectively.

Jupiter rules over Sagittarius and Pisces which are the 7th and 10th house respectively. In essence, this period has effectively activated 4 important houses of her chart – 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th. This period was absolutely critical for her career.

First songwriting deal at the age of 14

At the young age of 14 years, Taylor Swift signed her first songwriting deal with Sony / ATV. From 2003 to 2006, she was under the Major period of Jupiter but entered the Minor period of Venus. As I explained above, Rahu and Venus together in Capricorn give excellent business acumen, leading to a lucrative deal.

Signed with Big Machine Records in 2005

She signed a lucrative deal with Big Machine Records when she was 16 years old. This is again due to the period of Jupiter-Venus as I elaborated above. Effectively, we can consider 2003 to 2006 as the breakout period for Taylor Swift.

First Album – Taylor Swift released in 2006

To conclude the auspicious Jupiter – Venus period, Taylor Swift released her first, self-titled Album. She achieved significant success in the Country Music genre.

Second Album – Fearless released in 2008

From November 2006 to March 2008, Taylor Swift was under the Major period of Jupiter and Minor period of Moon. Since both these planets are located in her Ascendant, this period was both revolutionary as well as evolutionary for her.

From March 2008 to Feb 2009, she released her second album – Fearless, that brought her mainstream popularity and worldwide acclaim. Mars being part of her 6th house further helped to indicate her choice of singing and songwriting as a career rather than a hobby.

Further Albums

Between 2009 and 2011, she was under the Major period of Jupiter and Minor period of Rahu. She released her third album Speak Now in 2010. In 2011, she entered the Major period of Saturn and Minor period of Saturn until July 2014. During this time, she released her next 2 albums – Red in 2012 and 1989 in 2014. Both of these albums further cemented her success.

From July 2014 to Apr 2017, she was under the Major period of Saturn and Minor period of Gemini. her next album Reputation was released in 2017. From 2016 to 2023, she dated her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn.

From May 2018 to July 2021, she was under the Major period of Saturn and Minor period of Venus. Her success and global fame literally exploded and she became a household name worldwide. She released 3 albums in this period – Lover in 2019, Folklore in 2020 and Evermore in 2020.

From July 2021 to Jan 2024, Taylor Swift continued in the Major period of Saturn while passing through Minor periods of Sun up to July 2022 and Moon up to Jan 2024. During this time, she released her next album Midnights in 2022. Time Magazine declared her “Person of the Year” in 2023 and her worldwide fame grew leaps and bounds. Her Eros tour was also a great success and she broke many records worldwide.

High level view – Saturn and Jupiter

If we consider the astrological factors at a very high level, we can see that Taylor Swift has been fortunate to go through periods associated with Jupiter and Saturn. This is highly positive for her career. However, her individual hard work and determination cannot be discounted. Otherwise, she would not be where she is today.

Upcoming Period – 2025 to 2028

2024 was a relatively quiet period for Taylor Swift on the career front as she was busy with other personal areas of her life, aside from her Eras tour. 2025 onwards, I see her career taking a step forward. From March 2025 to Jan 2028, she is under the Major period of Saturn and Minor period of Rahu. We can expect her getting back to the groove with further albums coming up. In fact, I can predict even more success of her upcoming songs and albums, aside from record breaking deals.

On the relationship front, there is a chance that she decides to tie the knot during this time, or at least make a more serious commitment to her relationship. There is also a possibility of someone new coming into her life.

Further ahead – 2028 to 2030

From Jan 2028 to July 2030, Taylor will be under the Major period of Saturn and Minor period of Jupiter. These 2 heavyweights which are on her side are set to further propel her ahead. It is likely she will achieve success that will define her legacy during this time. My advice to her would be to make maximum possible use of this highly auspicious period.

I anticipate that she will undertake at least one blockbuster worldwide tour during this time as it also indicates travel for work.

Conclusion

Overall, we can see that Taylor Swift has a long and successful career filled with fame and money. With strong focus on career and her fans, she can leave behind a great legacy which could remain unchallenged for many years to come. I wish her all the best.

Yuzvendra Chahal Divorce in Astrology

Yuzvendra Chahal divorce

Yuzvendra Chahal divorce

The breakdown of a high-profile marriage often raises questions about compatibility, fate, and external influences. The recent divorce between Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma has sparked curiosity among fans and experts alike. While legal and social factors played their part, could astrology have predicted or even helped prevent their marital troubles?

In this blog post, we analyze the astrological compatibility between Yuzvendra and Dhanashree, explore planetary influences on their marriage, and discuss general astrological insights into maintaining a strong marital bond. We will also discuss some general remedies which can help to protect a relationship from 3rd parties as well are problems in compatibility.

The Yuzvendra Chahal divorce is a an opportunity for everyone to understand the astrology of relationship and personal ambition to determine how they can better guard against bad relationship choices.

The people involved

The 2 people in the middle of the matter are cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his now ex-wife Dhanashree Verma. Aside from them, we also have Yuzvendra’s colleague in the Indian Cricket team Shreyas Iyer. It has been alleged that the relationship between Yuzvendra and Dhanashree broke down after her alleged closeness with Shreyas Iyer. However, these reports are not supported by sufficient evidence. So, we will skip the moral and ethical considerations in this regard. Rather, we will focus on the astrological factors through an educational and academic perspective.

Let us consider the horoscopes of all 3 people and discuss the pros and cons, along with the relevant astrological factors involved.

Yuzvendra Chahal

Yuzvendra Chahal was born in Jind, Haryana, India on 23rd July, 1990 at approximately 6:45 AM. His birth chart is given below. Since I don’t have the exact time of birth with me, we will refrain from discussing certain things which may not be possible to accurately judge.

Yuzvendra Chahal birth chart

If we consider this birth chart, we can make some general conclusions:

  1. Mars in it’s own sign of Aries gives a strong and fit body, along with an interest in sports.
  2. Venus in the sign of Gemini shows chances of cheating by women. Also, since Venus is in the 12th house, we can conclude that the cheating will have something to do with sex and pleasures of the flesh.
  3. Mandi and Gulika in Scorpio indicate chances of controversies or scandals around sex or affairs. Typically, people having this condition are victims rather than guilty in such scandals.
  4. Mercury in Cancer also indicates infidelity by the spouse, leading to strife at home.

If we consider the key points given above, we can fairly conclude that Yuzvendra Chahal’s horoscope shows chances of scandals and controversies around sex and infidelity. Let’s go one step further and evaluate the Ashtakvarga of his chart.

Yuzvendra Chahal ashtakvarga

Ashtakvarga allows us to asses the different houses of a chart in a 8 point scale. When a house has a high score, we see a greater role played by the house in our lives and vice versa. Typically, a score of 24 and above is considered decent. Anything over 30 is excellent. On the contrary, scores lower than 20 are problematic.

If we see the scores given above, we can see that the score for Aries is very high at 37, showing physical strength and a career in sports. Secondly, an even higher score of 46 in Taurus shows profit for business, high income and excellent accumulation of wealth.

Further, if we consider the score of 19 in Gemini, we can further confirm the trend seen in the birth chart. It drives me to conclude that Yuzvendra Chahal has indeed suffered due to infidelity by his now ex-wife Dhanashree Verma. A score of 21 in Leo shows family problems and relationship breakups.

Dhanashree Verma

Dhanashree Verma was born in Dubai, UAE on September 27, 1996 at approximately 7:41 AM. Her birth chart is given below. Since I don’t have the exact time of birth with me, we will refrain from discussing certain things which may not be possible to accurately judge.

Dhanashree Verma birth chart

If we consider the above birth chart of Dhanashree Verma, we can make some general conclusions.

  1. Mandi and Gulika in Libra show at least one divorce and marital problems in general. Since Libra is the natural sign related to marriage, this area of Dhanashree Verma’s life does not seem very fortunate.
  2. Mercury in Leo shows a vibrant love life and chances of not being with only one partner at a time.
  3. Venus and Mars in Cancer shows a dominating attitude in relationships with the male partner generally being on the weaker or submissive side. Typically, men in such relationships tend to suffer. This further shows a life of luxury with unearned money, typically provided by others such as spouse, parents etc.
  4. Saturn, Moon and Ketu in Pisces shows education related to hospitals but doing work which is not related to the education. Dhanashree Verma got a Medical degree but later became a YouTuber with focus on dance videos. This condition also shows abandonment of the life partner.
  5. Pluto in Scorpio shows a very modern outlook with some discomfort following general societal norms. This condition also shows new and innovative ways to earn money.

Let us delve deeper into Dhanashree Verma’s life using Ashtakvarga.

Dhanashree Verma Ashtakvarga

From the perspective of Ashtakvarga, we can see that the signs of Aquarius, Virgo and Scorpio have lower scores. Aquarius typically relates to spouse and kids. A lower score in this area shows problems with marriage and begetting kids.

A very high score of 36 in Taurus shows money earned without much hard work. Dhanashree Verma negotiated an alimony of 4.75 crore INR as part of her divorce with Yuzvendra Chahal. If we consider Dhanashree’s career till date, this is a substantial sum. Virgo typically deals with legal matters and divorce. A low score of 20 in Virgo confirms the divorce and associated legal troubles.

Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer was born in Mumbai, India on 6 December, 1994 at approximately 7:45 PM. His birth chart is given below. Since I don’t have the exact time of birth with me, we will refrain from discussing certain things which may not be possible to accurately judge.

Shreyas Iyer birth chart

Looking at the above birth chart of Shreyas Iyer, we can make some general conclusions.

  1. Venus is well placed in Libra with friend Rahu. This combination normally takes the native deep into sexual desires and clandestine affairs. Men having this combination can easily find sexual partners.
  2. Pluto, Jupiter, Mercury and Sun in Scorpio show a charming and intelligent personality, a man who can easily attract women with his wit, humor and intelligence. It is not difficult for such men to get the women they want.
  3. Mars in Leo shows a man driven by his ambition and desires, ready to strive hard to achieve them. Since Leo also deals with affairs and has a well placed Mars, it shows a man who will not stop pursuing his desires. The 4th aspect of Mars on Scorpio further indicates affairs, even with committed women. This is further supported by the 10th aspect of Saturn.
  4. Saturn, the planet of Karma rules Capricorn and Aquarius. Sitting in Aquarius, Saturn gives Shreyas Iyer a push towards fulfilment of his desires.

If we just consider these trends, it will not require much analysis to conclude that Shreyas Iyer may not resist an affair, even if it is with a married woman. Let us further delve into his life through his Ashtakvarga.

Shreyas Iyer Ashtakvarga

If we look at the above Ashtakvarga chart of Shreyas Iyer, we can see that Virgo and Gemini, the planets ruled by Gemini have the highest scores of 40 and 36 respectively. This indicates that Mercury, which is also the Ascendant Lord has a strong influence on the chart. Further, the scores of Leo (34), Scorpio (32) and Pisces (32) further indicate sex scandals and affairs.

The Pertinent Question

Finally, let us ask the pertinent question – “Did Shreyas Iyer and Dhanashree Verma have a sexual relationship?”. We will do a Prashna to answer this question. The Prashna was cast at Mumbai, India on March 22, 2025 at 3:19:10 AM.

The Lagna chart

Prashna chart

In the Prashna chart, Moon is with Mandi and Gulika in the 12th house sign of Sagittarius. Mandi and Gulika here show corruption and immoral acts. Since this is the 12th house, we are naturally talking about sex. Further, we have Rahu, Sun, Neptune along with retrograde Venus and retrograde Mercury in Pisces. This further confirms the presence of intense sexual desires with high chances for sexual encounters.

Mars in Gemini shows a man being cheated. In this case, it may be Yuzvendra Chahal. Accordingly, the Prashna makes me conclude that Shreyas Iyer and Dhanashree Verma indeed may have had a sexual relationship and cheated on her husband Yuzvendra Chahal.

The Shastiamsha chart

Prashna Shashtiamsha

To further confirm the conclusion derived from the Prashna chart, let us consider the above Shashtiamsha chart for the Prashna. Retrograde Venus with Rahu and Jupiter in Virgo shows complete disregard for consequences and indicates sexual acts. Gulika with retrograde Mercury in Aries shows a forbidden relationship. Moon in the Ascendant is a simple “Yes” as an answer to the question asked.

Overall, considering the circumstances, Prashna result and charts of the 3 people involved, I can conclude that Shreyas Iyer did indeed have an affair with Dhanashree Verma, leading to her divorce with her now ex-husband Yuzvendra Chahal. Next, let us consider the timeline of the events, along with the prevailing astrological conditions.

Timeline of the relationship and divorce

December 22, 2020

Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma got married in an intimate ceremony in Gurugram. During this time, Yuzvendra Chahal was under the Major period of Venus and Minor period of Rahu. In his chart, Venus is in Gemini (12th house) whereas Rahu is in Capricorn (7th house). As per media reports, Yuzvendra Chahal feel in love with Dhanashree Verma at first sight and they got married after a courtship period.

At the same time, Dhanashree Verma was under the Major period of Mercury and Minor period of Saturn. In her chart, Mercury is in Leo (11th house) while retrograde Saturn is in Pisces (6th house). We can conclude that this relationship was meant to last as it was not driven by genuine feelings.

June 2022

As per documents submitted in court during the divorce proceedings, Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma’s lawyers claimed that they separated in June 2022. Assuming that this is true, we can consider the situation a few months before this date to further investigate the reasons for it.

From April 2022 to June 2023, Dhanashree Verma was under the Major period of Ketu and Minor period of Venus. In her chart, Venus is in Cancer with Mars whereas Ketu is in Pisces with Moon and retrograde Saturn. The Ketu – Venus combination which lasted for a little over a year can be clearly seen as the reason why the relationship broke up from Dhanashree’s side.

At the same time, Yuzvendra was under the Major period of Venus and Minor period of Jupiter between May 2022 and Jan 2025. In his chart, Venus is in Gemini (12th house) and Jupiter is in the Ascendant with Sun, Ketu, Moon and Mercury. Here, we can see the involvement of Ketu for both persons, signaling the separation which was unavoidable.
Around June 2022, there were also some media reports of the couple not living together.

Mid-2023

Videos of Dhanashree and cricketer Shreyas Iyer dancing together went viral, sparking speculation about their relationship. For both Yuzvendra and Dhanashree the Major and Minor periods outlined for 2022 continue here as well.

February 5, 2025

The couple filed for divorce at the Bandra Family Court in Mumbai, citing compatibility issues. At this time, Yuzvendra Chahal is under the Major period of Venus and Minor period of Saturn. In his chart, Venus is in Gemini (12th house) whereas retrograde Saturn is with Uranus and Neptune in Sagittarius (6th house). The 6th house shows court matters and the 12th house shows expenses and losses.

From Oct 2024 to Oct 2025, Dhanashree Verma is under the Major period of Ketu and Minor period of Rahu. In her chart, Ketu is in while Rahu is in Pisces (6th house) with retrograde Saturn and Moon whereas Rahu is with Sun in Virgo (12th house). If we consider the Major and Minor period of both, it involved the 6th and 12th house. However, Rahu being strong in Virgo gave Dhanashree the advantage and she was able to get an alimony.

March 20, 2025

The divorce was finalized, with an alimony settlement of ₹4.75 crore. As of March 20, 2025, both are free to pursue their life goals. However, judging by the social media moves by both, it does not look like a peaceful divorce at all.

Conclusion – Yuzvendra Chahal divorce

The end result was unfortunate but it was unavoidable due to the strong influence of Ketu. On the positive we can learn valuable lessons from this case study and adopt a more discerning attitude in our relationship choices. We can also see the impact of astrological influences in our relationships and appreciate the value of good astrological advice.

What happened to Indian 3?

Indian 3 Poster
Image source – IMDB / Lyca Productions

Introduction

This question is in the mind of every fan of legendary actor Ulagayagan Kamal Haasan. Following the disastrous performance of Indian 2, expectations towards Indian 3 have been lukewarm to say the least. Netflix, the broadcast partner has been resisting the film and the director Shankar has been least bothered and moved to other projects, despite the majority of fault lying with him.

The production house, Lyca Production has faced back to back setbacks. Most of their recent film projects not being able to recover their money at the box office. This has caused a funding crisis for the film, despite the money already spent.

However, it is after all, a Kamal Haasan film and the legendary actor’s fans around the world would love to see him in action. So, I created a Prashna Kundali to ask the question – “What is the status of Indian 3?”.

The Prashna

A Prashna is a horoscope created in a point of time to answer a question. The chart for the Prashna Lagna chart is given below.

Prashna details – March 20, 2025, 01:18:06 AM, Mumbai, India.

Lagna Chart interpretation

If we look at the basic integrity of planets in the chart, we can see some hints of the current events around Indian 3.

  • The Ascendant Lord Jupiter is in the 6th house with Uranus, indicating troubles with enemies and problems in the workplace. Director Shankar has literally been avoiding work and the production house had to file a court case to get him back to work. Secondly, Ketu and Pluto in Trine with Jupiter also indicate conflicts. We can definitely say that the film’s work is not going to happen peacefully.
  • Rahu, Sun, Neptune, retrograde Venus and retrograde Mercury in Pisces indicate further conflicts and delay in gains. This further confirms the indication of conflicts. Moreover, retrograde Mercury and Rahu together indicate at least 3 attempts will need to be made to achieve any kind of success.
  • Mandi and Gulika with Saturn in Aquarius further show delays. Moreover, it is in the 3rd house of challenges
  • Placement of Moon in the 12th house also confirms delays. Moreover, Moon is debilitated in Scorpio, showing aloofness and focus on other things.
  • On the bright side, the combination of Venus and Mercury, although retrograde, shows that money will be brought in to solve most of the problems plaguing the film.

Indian 3 release timeline

From Jan 2025 to June 2025, the Major period of Saturn and Minor period of Mercury are on. This is a time of struggle and conflicts. However, Mercury is the 10th Lord and astrologically, the period of the 10th Lord is considered positive for career. Therefore, this is a time of the film to develop. In April 2025, Mars will move to Cancer and assist in the influx of funding.

In May 2025, Rahu and Ketu will change their positions, giving relief in the film’s production issues. Jupiter will also move to Gemini in May 2025, indicating an influx of funding for the film and speed up progress of the film’s production.

From June to August 2025, the Pratyantar Dasha of Ketu will be on. This should be the time for the film to progress further. My estimate is that the film should make remarkable progress towards release in this timeframe. Between August 2025 and Jan 2026, the film is likely to release during the Pratyantar Dasha of Venus.

Divisional charts – other factors

As part of the Prashna, we must not ignore the other factors which are more subtle. Let us consider the divisional charts for greater accuracy.

Navamsha chart

The Navamsha chart can give a perspective of the fate of the subject, in this case we want to ascertain the fate of the film.

Navamsha chart

In the Navamsha chart, we have the Ascendant Lord Venus in the 6th house, showing a similar scenario to the Lagna chart. However, we must not ignore 2 very important facts – Venus is retrograde and it is in it’s own sign of Libra. Secondly, Sun is in it’s own sign of Leo, along with Moon. Thirdly, Jupiter is in it’s sign of exaltation – Cancer. If we compare with the Lagna chart above, the positions are definitely better.

Mars in the Ascendant shows that the film’s theme will be more action-oriented, compared to the comedy theme of Indian 2, which was grossly disliked by the audiences. Retrograde Mercury in Scorprio shows that money will definitely come in and the film’s funding issues will be short lived.

Further, the 9th and 10th Lord Saturn is in the 2nd house, showing initial financial issues, but ending with a positive outcome due to hard work and perseverance.

Lastly, Jupiter aspects the 11th house of profits and fulfilment of desires, showing a positive ending overall. Next, let’s further confirm the film’s future with the Shastiamsha chart.

Shastiamsha chart

The Shastiamsha chart is the 60th division of a sign and shows all aspects of the subject’s life in fine detail. As the chart requires very accurate timing, it is best used when doing a Prashna. The Shastiamsha chart is given below.

Shastiamsha chart

If we look at the Shastiamsha chart, the Ascendant Lord Mercury is retrograde in the 11th house of Cancer. This indicates delays but overall, it will be a good result. Secondly, the presence of Saturn and retrograde Venus shows that the money’s funding issues will be solved with other people’s money, indicating the entry of an investor who will finance the film and solve the money problems.

Jupiter, Rahu and Mars together in the Ascendant show trouble but solution through legal means. The Director Shankar S, returned to work after a court notice. Mars, the 3rd and 8th Lord indicates difficulty and a journey filled with turmoil.

Sun and Neptune in the 5th house of Capricorn show the entry of a strong administrator. They will take things under control and steer the ship in the right direction. I suspect that the investor or new producer may decide to change the director and make major changes to the story and screenplay to match the interest of audiences.

Conclusion

Overall, I can conclude that Indian 3 will be made and release. However, there will be delays. As I mentioned above, my estimate is a release after August, following the release of Kamal Haasan’s upcoming film Thug Life. In this post, we have explored the use of a Prashna to get the answer to a question.

Vijay – Thalapathy of Tamil Nadu?

Introduction

Actor Vijay Joseph, popularly known as Thalapathy Vijay is one of the most actors in India, with a fan following across the world for his strong movie performances. In August 2024, he announced his political party Tamilaga Vettri Kazagham (TVK). He plans to contest the upcoming Tamil Nadu State elections in 2026. Although he is a relatively new player in the world of politics, his solid pull factor among the people has deprived his political competitors of sleep. In this post, we will look at some of the astrological aspects of his life and also evaluate his political future.

Birth details, family and early career

Vijay was born on June 22, 1974 at approximately 5:51 PM at Chennai (formerly known as Madras), India. Vijay’s father Mr Chandrashekhar was a successful film maker for many years and Vijay began his career in his movies as a child artist, before gaining prominence in the 1990s. Vijay’s mother Mrs Shoba Chandrashekar was a playback singer. He had a sister named Vidya who tragically passed away due to illness at the age of 2 years. His birth chart is given below.

Vijay Zodiac Sign

If we consider the above chart, Vijay’s Sun Sign / Zodiac Sign is Gemini whereas his Moon Sign / Rashi is Cancer.

Which religion is Vijay?

Vijay’s father follows Christianity whereas his mother is a Hindu. Vijay has demonstrated belief in both religions,

Career, marriage and kids

Vijay began his career as a child artist in the Tamil film Vetri, which was made by his father. His made his debut as a lead actor in the 1992 film Naalaiya Theerpu at the age of 18. Since then, he has worked in 68 films and most of them have been commercially successfully, with many blockbusters among them.

He married his wife Sangeetha on Aug 25, 1999. They have 2 children, a son Jason Sanjay and a daughter Vidya Vijay. Both have also appeared in his films in cameo appearances.

General Astrological Analysis

Let us attempt to perform a general astrological analysis to verify the well known events and trends in Vijay’s life. Vijay’s ascendant sign is Scorpio and his Moon sign (Rashi) is Cancer with Pushya Nakshatra. We will rely more on the signs rather than houses as the birth time available with me is approximate. Below are some points to verify the birth details through birth time rectification.

Demise of Vijay’s older sister

The 11th house is the sign of Virgo and has Pluto and Vyatipat. Virgo also indicates untimely demise, thereby confirming the unfortunate early demise of Vijay’s sister. As per media reports, the loss of his sister was a major blow on Vijay as a child and he partially blamed himself for not being strong enough to save her. Subsequently, the family named their production house Vidya after the late daughter. Vijay later also named his daughter VIdya after his late sister.

Vijay taking up the family profession

In Vijay’s birth chart, the 10th house of career is the sign of Leo. It is also the 2nd house from the Moon. These points show that Vijay’s income will come from the family’s line of profession / business.

Strange circumstances of Vijay’s marriage

Vijay’s wife is of Tamil Sri Lankan descent but was living in London. She travelled to India to court Vijay and eventually they met and liked each other. Finally, Vijay’s parents travelled to London to meet her and finalize the marriage. Eventually, they got married. In Vijay’s chart, the sign of Libra that represents marriage has retrograde Uranus, showing unusual circumstances of marriage.

Secondly, the 7th house (Taurus) has Venus and Ketu, showing that Vijay’s spouse is from far away. Thirdly, the 9th house which represents legality of marriage has Moon and Mars, indicating that at least foreign trip across the seas is required for the marriage to happen.

Vijay making money for others

Over the years, Vijay’s movies have rarely lost money. In fact, his last 4 movies managed to recover the investment of the producers, despite heavy competition from other movies and criticism from some prominent critics. In his chart, the 8th house in the sign of Gemini has Sun, Saturn, Mandi and Gulika with retrograde Mercury. Since Mercury rules over the house, it is even more powerful and confirms the fact that Vijay is always a promising investment for film makers.

Vijay’s devotion towards Sai Baba

Vijay’s mother is a devout follower of Sai Baba and Vijay takes after her. He has also got a temple dedicated to Sai Baba built in Chennai and is a regular visitor. In the 9th house of religious beliefs, Moon and Mars are prominently showing the role of Vijay’s mother in his religious beliefs.

Vijay’s entry into Politics

In Vijay’s chart, the 10th house of the career is in the sign of Leo. Leo also represents kings and rulers. Secondly, the 9th house in the sign of Cancer indicates leadership qualities with the desire to be a just ruler. This shows the reasons for his political aspirations.

Vijay Joseph Dashamsha Chart
Vijay Dashamsha Chart

If we consider the above Dashamsha chart, Venus the 7th Lord is in an exchange with Saturn the 10th Lord. Further, Sun is in it’s own sign Leo with Pluto. Jupiter and retrograde Mercury are also in an exchange with Jupiter in Virgo and Mercury in Sagittarius. If we consider all these factors we can see how much potential Vijay Joseph has in politics.

Current period and upcoming elections

Since August 2024, Vijay is under the Major period of Venus and Minor period of Mercury. His announced his party’s anthem in August 2024 as well. This period will continue until August 2028 when he will enter the Major period of Sun. If we consider the strength of Venus and Mercury in Vijay’s chart, both of these planets are in their own houses – Taurus and Gemini, respectively. On top of this, Mercury is with close friends Sun and Saturn and aspected by Jupiter.

Overall, this confirms that Vijay will have a very bright political future over the next few years, with a strong chance of becoming Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Even if he does not become the Chief Minister, he will surely be part of the ruling coalition, if at all.

Vijay is currently working on his film with the title of Jana Nayagan, which is set for a September 2025 release. The prevailing positive planetary positions and strong pull factor of Vijay will help to make the film a success.

State of the competition

Vijay has announced that his ideological opponent is the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) whereas his political enemy is the DMK party. The DMK party in Tamil Nadu is helmed by the ailing MK Stalin whereas the Tamil Nadu BJP is led by the relatively young and energetic K Annamalai. MK Stalin has announced his son Udayanidhi Stalin as his successor. Let us consider the situation of these 2 individuals who will compete against Vijay in 2026 for the seat of Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

Udayanidhi Stalin

Udayanidhi Stalin is an actor-producer and operates his own production house Red Giant films. However, Udayanidhi’s success as an actor is nowhere close to Vijay. In addition, his statements targeting the Hindu religion has not gone down well with the masses. As per details available with me, Udayanidhi Stalin was born on Nov 27, 1977 in Chennai at approximately 6:25 PM. His chart is given below.

If we look at the birth chart of Udayanidhi Stalin above, we can immediately make some general conclusions:

  • Saturn – Ketu, Mars – Mercury and Venus – Ketu are in 6/8 signs from each other, creating multiple instances of Sadasthak Yog, which is very negative. Ketu represents fruits of good karma gathered from previous lives. This explains the general lack of success experienced by Udayanidhi Stalin and also gives a glimpse of his prospects in politics after his father is no more.
  • Sun in Scorpio is relatively positive but is dominated by Neptune. The relatively positive nature of Sun has given Udayanidhi a good family background and a very influential father.

Current Period

Saturn is going to enter Pisces in March 2025. From August 2025 to March 2027, Udayanidhi will be under the Major period of Saturn and Minor period of Moon. Between April 2026 and July 2026, there are opportunities to make some gains due to efforts of his mother. In June 2026, Saturn will transit over Udayanidhi’s natal Ketu. Such transits normally result in major setbacks in career or even end careers. This is also because Saturn and Ketu are in 6/8 signs from each other in his birth chart.

K Annamalai

K Annamalai is credited with making BJP a notable party in Tamil Nadu which was largely dominated by DMK and AIDMK parties for decades. Annamalai was born on June 4, 1984 at Karur, Tamil Nadu in India at approximately 4:41 PM. Unlike his peers who come from political dynasties, Annamalai is a self made man.

He is a former Indian Police Services (IPS) officer of the 2011 batch and served in various locations before quitting to become a full time politician and social worker. He joined the BJP in 2020 and his efforts and dedication led to him becoming the BJP President for Tamil Nadu. His birth chart is given below.

Looking at the above birth chart, we can come up with some general conclusions.

  1. Retrograde Mars and Saturn with Mandi, Gulika and retrograde Pluto in the sign of Libra made Annamalai pursue an engineering education. However, he did not further pursue engineering as a career choice.
  2. Sun, Venus, Rahu and Mercury in Taurus made him rebellious and inclined to carve out his own path, leading to many changes in aspirations and resulting in a political career.
  3. Retrograde Jupiter and Neptune in the sign of Sagittarius shows a strong spiritual side to Annamalai’s personality, leading to his strong religious statements and enmity with Udayanidhi Stalin who strongly opposes Hindu traditions.
  4. Moon in Cancer shows a strong drive to hold ruling positions.

Lastly, Sun, Venus, Rahu and Mercury are in 6/8 signs from Mars, Saturn and Pluto. However, as Mars, Saturn and Pluto are retrograde, the result is not terrible like in the case of Udayanidhi Stalin.

Current Period

Currently, Annamalai is going through the Major period of Sun and Minor period of Jupiter. This will be followed by Sun and Saturn from November 2025. Due to the presence of Mandi and Gulika, the time from November 2025 going to November 2026 shows small gains followed by disappointments. BJP as a party is notorious for not rewarding work of party workers, as we have seen many instances of party state chiefs not getting good positions after forming their governments. This inclines me to believe that BJP will do reasonably well in 2026 but Annamalai may not get his due.

Vijay vs Annamali vs Udayanidhi Stalin – Conclusion

Vijay’s chart is definitely stronger than both Annamalai and Udayanidhi and this makes me conclude that they will pose any credible threat to Vijay in the 2026 Tamil Nadu State elections. However, the situation may be changed if the opponents change. As of now, I am quite confident in TVK faring very well in the 2026 elections in Tamil Nadu.

I hope you enjoyed this post and I welcome your feedback and comments. As a disclaimer, please note that as I am a fan of Vijay Joseph, this post may be a little biased. If you also want to get an analysis of your birth chart, you can get in touch through my website.

Astrological Perspectives: Decoding Peter Dinklage’s Birth Chart

Introduction

Peter Dinklage is a highly accomplished and respected Hollywood actor. While he has been working in television and films since 1993, he became a household name with HBO’s seminal series – Game of Thrones, where he was one of the main characters for the entire 8 seasons of the series. Game of Thrones is also important and he is the cast member who appeared in the maximum number of episodes (67) in the series. In this post, I want to present an astrological perspective on Peter Dinklage’s Birth Chart, including his family and career.

Peter Dinklage is not just an inspiration for those who consider the performing arts as their career choice but for all who feel that there can be substitutes for hard work and sincerity. Through his career, Peter Dinklage has demonstrated a strong work ethic and perseverance that is seldom seen.

Peter Dinklage Birth chart

As per my calculations, Peter Dinklage’s birth chart is given below. As I practice Vedic Astrology (Sidereal system), followers of other systems may find some difference between our calculations. While all systems have their fair share of pros and cons, I follow the system which I know best. His birth details are 11th June, 1969 at 1:37 AM (Eastern Daylight Time), Ocean County, New Jersey, United States of America.

Peter Dinklage Birth chart

Peter Dinklage Zodiac Sign

Peter Dinklage’s Sun Sign is Taurus whereas his Moon Sign (a.k.a Rashi) is Aries. Furthermore, his Ascendant is Pisces. Accordingly, we should consider Peter Dinklage’s Birth chart from 3 angles – Pisces, Aries and Taurus. Pisces will help to look at physical aspects of his life, Aries represents his emotional and mental side, whereas Taurus represents his spiritual side.

Early Life of Peter Dinklage

Peter’s father was an Insurance salesman and his mother was an elementary school music teacher. As per Vedic Astrology, the Sun is your father while the Moon is your mother. In Peter’s chart, the Sun is placed with Mercury in Taurus, indicating something to do with wealth and working in sales. Taurus is associated with Wealth, Savings and Income. Insurance companies typically sell their products based on life goals around these areas. Peter also has an older brother, who is an accomplished musician.

If we look at the Moon, it is placed with Venus and Saturn in Aries, indicating that his mother was a principled and hard working lady. Since Jupiter is 6th from Moon, it indicates that his mother’s career and day to day work has something to do with teaching, confirming that she was indeed an elementary school teacher.

Peter Dinklage – The promising child artist

As a child, Peter and his brother Jonathan used to do musical puppet shows in their neighborhood. This shows his flair for performing arts since an early age. Peter was inspired to consider acting as a career in 1984, by the play True West. He was 15 years old. He was running the Major period of Venus and Minor period of Mercury. Both of these are associated with the arts.

Mercury and the Sun in his 3rd house further reinforce his interest in the performing arts from an early age. Many prominent and accomplished actors have Mercury in their 3rd house.

Physical appearance and health of Peter Dinklage

Peter Dinklage is the only member of his family having Achondroplasia, a health condition which causes the hands and legs of the person to not grow sufficiently. Due to this, Peter stands at a height of 4 feet and 5 inches. This can be attributed to the following factors:

  1. Retrograde Mars with Retrograde Neptune loses strength
  2. Mars is under double influence of Saturn. Saturn occupies Aries, a sign owned by Mars, and also aspects Mars. Since Mars is retrograde, we consider it to be present in the previous house after birth of the individual
  3. Venus and Saturn with Moon cause problems for the mother. It is possible that during pregnancy, Peter’s mother was not having health issues
  4. Jupiter, the Lord of the 1st and 10th houses is in the Rahu-Ketu axis which occupying a sign owned by it’s enemy planet Mercury. This weakens Jupiter and has a bearing on the physical health, especially at young age
  5. Peter Dinklage is a native of Pisces Ascendant. Natives of Pisces Ascendant have shorter hands and legs with lower height

Bhrigu Point in Revati Nakshatra in Peter Dinklage’s Birth Chart

People having anything to do with Revati Nakshatra typically have a prominent scar on their body. Peter has a prominent scar on his face after an injury during his early career. To understand how the Revati Nakshatra affects Peter, we should look at the 1st house of his chart, which is having the Bhrigu Point, labeled as “BP” at 24 degrees in Revati Nakshatra. The Bhrigu Point is a discovery of Mr. Sunil John, one of my teachers. The Bhrigu Point is the mid-point between Rahu and the Moon. The Bhrigu Point can be directly or indirectly involved in major life events.

If we consider the Bhrigu Point in the 1st house of Peter’s chart, we also see how his appearance is considered as one of the defining factors of his overall personality, especially his piercing eyes, unconventional hairstyle and of course, his height.

Key points on Personality Traits as per Peter Dinklage’s Birth Chart

Although Peter was born and raised in a Catholic family, he became a vegetarian from the age of 16. Peter is also a an animal rights activist. This can be seen from the fact that Jupiter is with Ketu and Uranus in the sign of Virgo. Ketu is regarded as the separator in astrology. Ketu makes Peter’s religious beliefs different from his family. In 2008, Peter Dinklage described himself as a “Lapsed Catholic”, further reinforcing this point. Moreover, Ketu also gives him a different dietary preference. Furthermore, Uranus makes Peter’s beliefs strong yet unconventional.

His voice also added to his fame and wide appeal. Peter’s voice is very adaptable and versatile, while also sounding deep and serious at the same time. Throughout history, many successful actors have been remembered by their voices. The talented Peter Dinklage is no exception.

Peter Dinklage – Personal Life

Next, we will talk about some aspects of Peter’s life, such as his wife and children. Peter Dinklage belongs to the rare breed of celebrities with a stable marriage and normal family life, vis-a-vis the scandalous lives led by many celebrities across the world. This can be majorly attributed to the reasons below.

  1. Jupiter and Ketu together, show a life of satisfaction lacking in excess desire. This reduces chances for debauchery and infidelity. Moreover, they are close together in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra. Men having prominent planets in this Nakshatra have very loving and dedicated wives.
  2. Mercury in Rohini Nakshatra increases purity of character and further reduces chances of promiscuity
  3. The 7th house does not have any adverse planetary aspects

Peter Dinklage Wife

Peter Dinklage got married to Erica Schmidt, a theater director in 2005. At the time, Peter was under the Major Period of Mars and Minor period of Saturn. While this may be difficult to relate to marriage, we must not forget that Saturn is sitting with Venus and the Moon in the 2nd house of Peter Dinklage’s chart. The 2nd house indicates family whereas Venus is a significator for marriage as well as the wife.

On a side note, I am not optimistic about Peter’s relations with his in laws, especially with his wife’s siblings.

Peter Dinklage Children

Furthermore, as Venus and Saturn are together in the same sign, it shows that Peter’s wife Erica is from the same industry. Peter and his wife have 2 children – a daughter born in 2011 and a son born in 2017. When Peter’s daughter was born in 2011, he was under the Major and Minor periods of Rahu. Once again, I point your attention to the Bhrigu Point that happens to be in the same sign as Rahu, showing it’s role in not just the birth of a child but also in the career defining work in Game of Thrones.

When Peter’s son was born in 2017, he was under the Major period of Rahu and Minor period of Mercury. An interesting point about Mercury is that it is known as “The Prince” and often indicates the birth of a son. The Bhrigu Point is still relevant here as Peter was still under the Major period of Rahu.

Peter Dinklage – Career graph

Peter started looking for work in 1993 but struggled with opportunities as he was mostly offered roles of dwarfs or leprechauns, which he did not prefer playing. Peter’s first credited role was in 1995 with the film Living in Oblivion. In this film, Peter played the role of a frustrated actor suffering from dwarfism. Living in Oblivion was a low budget film of limited commercial success, but demonstrated Peter Dinklage’s acting prowess.

First Film

At the time of the film’s release, Peter was 26 years old. He was running the Major period of the Moon and Minor period of Jupiter. It is important to note that the Moon is with Saturn and Venus, whereas Jupiter is in the Rahu-Ketu axis, with Uranus. Even if we dismiss Living in Oblivion as a film of limited success, it can be considered as a coming of age film, especially for actors with below average height, such as Peter Dinklage who were always cliched into either less important roles or just background prop type roles. With this film, Peter Dinklage presented a strong case for valuing merit over physical appearance, reflecting the strong influence of Uranus.

New Millennium, next steps for Success

Peter Dinklage next appeared in 13 Moons in 2002. During this time, he was under the Major period of the Moon and Minor period of the Sun. In the next year, he appeared in the The Station Agent, which became his breakthrough film. At the time, he was still under the Major period of the Moon but the Minor period of Mars. Since Mars is with Neptune in Peter’s Birth chart, it also encompasses some of the mysterious aspects of Neptune. The Station Agent was a commercial success, despite it’s low budget.

Major body of work

Peter Dinklage was nominated for the Golden Globes as well as the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards for his role in the Station Agent, earning him wide acclaim and well deserved fame. In 2003, Peter Dinklage also appeared in Tiptoes, which was widely criticized for the role of a dwarf essayed actor Gary Oldman. Many perceived the film as making fun of people of lower height. However, Peter was not part of the criticized group as the focus was on Oldman’s character. At the time, Peter was under the Major period of Mars and Minor period of Rahu. Peter Dinklage also appeared in several successful Broadway plays.

Overall, the period was quite eventful as it contained a mix bag of memorable as well as forgettable career decisions by Dinklage. However, I am confident that the period taught him a lot of valuable lessons.

Between 2005 and 2006, Dinklage appeared in several appreciated roles in film and television including Find Me Guilty, 30 Rock, Entourage and Death at a Funeral. During this time, he was under the Major Period of Mars and Minor period of Saturn and Mercury.

Bumpy road to success

In 2007, Peter experimented as an unconventional villain in Underdog. Around this time, Peter was under the Major period of Mars and Minor period of Ketu. We can once again see that Rahu and Ketu in the Minor period mat lead to risky career decisions. This was followed by an appearance in the Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian. However, The Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian did receive more commercial success than Underdog as well as a larger global footprint. At the time, Peter remained in the Major period of Mars but with the Minor period of Venus.

While the Minor period of Venus was definitely better than that of Ketu, it was still not at the desired level since Peter had started work on the film during the Minor period of Ketu. During this time, Peter Dinklage also worked in the play Uncle Vanya. Peter’s wife Erica Schmidt directed the play. Interestingly, Mars and Venus in Astrology are Husband and Wife, respectively. Peter’s collaborating with his wife for the play is a great example of this point.

Arrival in King’s Landing

Peter Dinklage was hired for Game of Thrones in 2009. In fact, he was the first among the cast members to get the job. During the time, he was under the Major period of Mars and Minor period of the Moon. However, the work began in full swing later that year. That is when peter entered the Major and Minor period of Rahu.

Rahu is special for any chart as it takes up the attributes of the planets it is sitting with in a sign. If there are no other planets, it takes up the character of the Sign Lord. In Peter’s chart, Rahu is occupying Pisces, ruled by Jupiter. So, Rahu took up the expansive attributes of Jupiter and applied this expansion to Peter Dinklage’s career in a big way with the dark fantasy world woven by George R R Martin and presented by the dynamic duo of DB Weiss and David Benioff. Interestingly, Rahu also indicates Fantasy.

When the 1st season of Game of Thrones was released in 2011, Peter was still in the Major and Minor period of Rahu. The Minor period concluded with a bang and brought Peter Dinklage to the world stage in an explosive way as Tyrion Lannister, a truly unpredictable character having gray shades. Since 2011, Peter has won many awards for his portrayal of Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones. In fact, Peter’s was the first name mentioned in the opening credits of the episodes, further emphasizing his popularity as a cast member in the series.

2019 and beyond

When Game of Thrones concluded in 2019, Peter Dinklage was under the Major period of Rahu and Minor period of Mercury. In 2022, Peter Dinklage criticized Disney’s remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves for continuing to denigrate people of less height while being progressive about race stereotype issues. This statement by Dinklage forced Disney to issue a statement that they will work with the wider community to ensure that the dwarf characters are shown in a more sensitized manner. At the time, Peter was under the Major period of Rahu and Minor period of Venus.

As I write this post in December 2023, Peter Dinklage is 54 years old and continues to remain under the Major period of Rahu and the Minor period of Venus. In this year, my speculation is that Peter’s focus has been more on home and family, with work taking a back seat. From May 2024,we can expect Peter to be working once again in full swing, with a good chance for another path breaking body of work beyond 2025. In fact, I will not be surprised to see Peter Dinklage make a big bang similar to Game of Thrones once again.

Peter Dinklage – Net worth

As of September 2023, Forbes estimates Peter Dinklage’s Net worth to be around 56 million US dollars. So, we can safely confirm that Peter Dinklage is a millionaire. In Peter’s Birth Chart, the Moon is in Bharani Nakshatra. People of the Bharani Nakshatra are hard working and sincere in the work, while avoiding excessive spending and extravagance. Therefore, such people typically end up with substantial savings towards their senior years.

Remedial Measures and closing points

Peter Dinklage is a prime example of someone who’s life is dominated by Rahu and Ketu or planets associated with them. Rahu represents past life sins whereas Ketu represents good deeds done in past lives. Accordingly, doing good deeds is a surprisingly great way to mitigate negative effects of these 2 comic agents of Karma. For Rahu, I recommend volunteering for an old age home or orphanage, especially on Saturdays. For Ketu, I recommend feeding dogs.

Since Mars is a critical planet for Peter Dinklage, I recommend wearing a Red Coral gemstone in a gold pendant around his neck on a Tuesday. This will imbue him with a lot of energy and focus while also further improving his heath and career prospects.

A person in need of self love and inner healing

The chapters also include touching, real-world stories, containing challenges, triumphs, and shared human experiences. Each story concludes with how the person was able to undergo inner healing and increase their self-love.

Some details of the areas discussed in the book

As part of my work on the book, I have focused on some critical areas around the subject of the book. The following are some examples of areas I have stressed upon.

  • The Fear of Being Selfish: We often undervalue ourselves, just because we don’t wish to appear selfish to others.
  • Comparison Trap: We often fall into the trap of comparing our lives with other people.
  • Self-awareness: Understanding yourself is the foundation of genuine self-love. This section discusses some examples and strategies for this.
  • Self-acceptance: Most people are not satisfied with their selves and their own achievements. This affects self love.
  • Setting Boundaries: Setting boundaries with others is very important.

Each chapter contains actionable insights and also gives contains some touching stories. These stories help to better understand the concepts and their importance. The book is based on my experiences with clients over the years. My work helped in their inner healing and improved their self-love. The identities in the stories and examples have been randomized to ensure privacy of all involved.

The role of Karma in the Inner Healing Journey

Life’s challenges can go beyond our immediate actions and decisions. Our Karma can create these challenges. Karma is a universal principle and the cosmic law of cause and effect. Every action we take—whether positive or negative—leaves an imprint on our souls. In addition, these actions influence future events and circumstances in our lives. Furthermore, negative Karma can have a profound and long-term impact. Moreover, negative Karma can often span many lifetimes.

An illustrative example for Inner Healing and Self-love

Consider the story of Alex. Alex was a diligent and kind-hearted individual. However, Alex was often bullied at work. Despite his best efforts and impeccable work ethics, he became the target of unwarranted ridicule and isolation. Alex came to me for a consultation to understand the reasons for his issues. After the analysis, Alex discovered that he was a powerful figure in a past life. However, during that past life, he often used his position to belittle and suppress those beneath him. This past life Karma manifested in this life as bullies who kept targeting him.

The negative Karma kept manifesting as his current challenges. It wasn’t mere punishment but a lesson waiting to be learned. Alex embraced humility, compassion, and understanding. He not only transformed his present work environment but also cleared the karmic debt from his past. This helped in ensuring a brighter, harmonious future.

Future of actor Jaffer Sadiq

The picture above(credit – Navbharat Times), shows Jaffer with actor Shahrukh Khan

Who is Jaffer Sadiq?

Jaffer Sadiq is an Indian actor born on 4th of July, 1995 at Erode, Tamil Nadu. I first saw him in the 2022 film Vikram. In the film, he was brilliant as a gangster. Since then, I saw him in Jawan as well as Jailer, two more wonderful movies. He impressed me in these movies as well. I also loved his performance in Leo. In 2024, he was seen in Baby John. Prior to these films, he has worked a lot in Tamil and Malayalam language films. I look forward to see some of these films too as I get a chance.

Despite his young age, Jaffer Sadiq displays a type of maturity that few actors his age can match. He reminds me of actor Peter Dinklage who became a household name after Game of Thrones. In this post, I want to share an analysis of how Jaffer went from strength to strength and worked with some of India’s biggest actors including Kamal Hassan, Shah Rukh Khan, Rajnikanth and Vijay Joseph (a.k.a Thalapathy Vijay).

I have given below, his Horoscope as per my calculations.

Jaffer Sadiq Horoscope

Astrological Overview

We can see that Jaffer is a native of Virgo Moon sign and Gemini Sun sign. Accordingly, we can see that Mercury plays a key role in his horoscope being the Sign Lord for the Lord as well as Moon. Since Jaffer is an actor, let’s focus on Mercury. For actors, Mercury is critical. I see that mercury is well placed due to an exchange with Venus.

Nuances of his movie roles

Interestingly, most of Jaffer’s famous roles have been gangster related. For example, he played the younger brother of a drug lord in Vikram. This can be seen by the planets that surround Moon – Mars and Rahu, both of which indicate violence and drugs.

However, the Moon also shows empathy, which can also be seen in the characters he plays. For example, in the climax of Vikram, Jaffer’s character gives a detailed analysis of the protagonist’s modus operandi and state of mind. In this scene, Jaffer displays a different shade of character. A similar scene was also seen in Jailer where he plays a supporting role and helps the main character plan his actions.

Tying the knot?

On the personal front, Jaffer is in love with a former colleague. Tabloids report that they are engaged and set to tie the knot. My calculations show that he will get married by next year and live a happily married life. Due to the privacy of this matter, there is no further information on this as of March 2025.

Future Outlook

On the career front, I can say with confidence that Jaffer’s current achievements are only the tip of the iceberg. Jaffer will go on to have even bigger achievements over the next 4 to 5 years. In 2026, I see him doing some of his career’s defining work. We will remember him by this work for years to come. I look forward to seeing him in action on the big screen.

The period from 2028 to 2030 would be delicate for Jaffer’s career. Jaffer needs to be cautious in selecting his roles and while speaking on public forums. Controversies could hurt Jaffer’s career.

I wish Jaffer Sadiq all the best for the future with success and happiness.

What will happen to Amritpal Singh

What is in store for the Khalistan movement spokesperson?

Who is Amritpal Singh?

Amritpal Singh rose to prominence in September 2022 and become a poster boy for the Khalistan movement in India. Before that, he was working in Dubai as a transporter. While I am not a supporter of the movement, my purpose here is to look at Amritpal’s horoscope and share my insights on what can be expected in his future life, now that he has been arrested by the Indian Police forces, in connection with an armed riot that happened more than a month ago.

Based on my confirmed sources, his birth details are 17th Jan, 1993, 2 PM at Amritsar, Punjab, India. His horoscope is given below for your reference.

Amritpal Singh’s Birth Horoscope

How did he become famous?

Amritpal was based in UAE and was working these in the transport industry. In September 2022, he rose to prominence rapidly, owing to his provocative and firebrand speeches which went viral on YouTube. Around the time, he also changed his persona and adopted an orthodox Sikh dressing style, including a beard. He was going through the Mercury Major Period and Moon Minor period at the time.

As his popularly grew throughout the month of September, I have considered September 15, 2022, 10:00 at Dubai for my calculations around his fame and rise to prominence. I selected Dubai as the location, since Amritpal was in the UAE at that time.

Transits for Amritpal Singh as on 10 AM, Sep 15, 2022 at Dubai, UAE

Reasons for fame:

  1. Sun and Venus in the 4th house of “seat of power”
  2. Jupiter retrograde in Pisces, indicating return to “home”
  3. Saturn retrograde in Capricorn, indicating strong connect with masses
  4. Mercury retrograde in Virgo

Arrest

On March 18, 2022, a massive manhunt began for Amritpal Singh after numerous armed attacks and killings that ravaged the Indian state of Punjab, including policemen being hacked to death with swords. Amritpal went into hiding but continued sharing provocative speeches on YouTube and news channels to incite the masses, however the police and government authorities remained persistent.

Finally, on April 23, 2023, Amritpal Singh surrendered himself to the police at Moga, Punjab, India around 6:45 AM, after the police detained his wife for questioning. The horoscope for the event is given below.

Transits for Amritpal Singh as on 06:45 AM at Moga, Punjab, India

Reasons for arrest

  • Jupiter, Sun, Raha and Retrograde Mercury in the 12th house of prison and aspect of Transit Saturn
  • Ketu in the 6th house of litigation and court
  • Venus forming Sad-Ashtak Yog with Ketu, indicating arrest due to a woman (wife)
  • Mars in 2nd house of family, showing danger to them

What next?

If we look at the chart as on the day of arrest, it looks like an event of great Karma since almost all planets are involved. Accordingly, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he will go to prison after a legal battle in the courts. However, what went against him is that he resorted to guerilla tactics rather than facing the legal system. This will further strengthen the legal cases against him.

Interestingly, the Khalistan movement is heavily backed by Pakistan and their expats and friends based in the West and Middle East. Accordingly, we may see a high profile legal defense set up to save Amritpal Singh from any severe punishment by the courts. In addition, we may also see a lot of lobbying by entities in the west and the middle east who support the Khalistan movement.

How does it affect India?

Let’s consider the chart of India, as on 15th August, 1947 at 12 AM in New Delhi, India. Typically, we look at the 3rd house to gauge challenges. Here, we can see that India as a country faces a lot of challenges, with Moon, Mercury, Saturn, Venus and Sun all in the 3rd house.

Horoscope of India – 15th August, 1947 at New Delhi, India

We look at the 6th house for open enemies and the 12th house for hidden enemies. When we see the 6th house, we have Jupiter in the sign of Libra which is ruled by Venus. Venus is in the 3rd house ruled by Moon and influenced by Mercury, Moon, Sun and Saturn. Here, we can infer that India’s enemies use intellectualism and misinformation as a major weapon against the country. This can be seen by the way enemies of India generally work against the country in global media narrative as well as in forums such as the UN. We also have a lot of foreign films and tv shows that project India in some undesirable ways.

If we compare the current planetary situation with India’s chart, we can see some trends. India’s hidden enemies will be very active, considering that Aries is India’s 12th house and we currently have Jupiter, Rahu, Mercury and Sun there. On the other hand, India’s open enemies, such as Pakistan are currently facing a lot of internal problems, including economic disasters and political instability. Therefore, it remains to be seen how India’s hidden enemies will respond to the situation but it can be said that the route adopted to respond would be intellectual rather than military.

Find out how your future is

Amritpal Singh’s life teaches us a lot of lessons and we can also avoid our actions from going in the wrong direction through proper though and expert advice. You can get in touch with me to find out what the future holds for you and how you can best face the situations coming up in all areas of your life, such as relationships, career, health and finance.

Will Sachin Pilot be the next Rajasthan Chief Minister?

Mr Sachin Pilot

Mr. Sachin Pilot is a prominent leader of the Indian National Congress Party and a major contributor in the party’s victory in the Indian State of Rajasthan a few years ago. At that time, it was estimated that he would be given the prestigious position of Chief Minister of the State due to his contributions in the election campaign. However, the party leadership decided to give the post to their long time loyalist and senior leader – Mr. Ashok Gehlot. In the last 1 week, there has been a lot of aggression from Mr. Ashok Gehlot and his followers towards the party leadership as it was estimated that Mr. Pilot would be given the post of Chief Minister of Rajasthan after Mr. Gehlot takes over as party chief.

However, Mr. Gehlot was so vocal against Mr. Pilot that his followers in the party actually tendered their resignations and staged a mutiny against the party leadership. It was only after Mrs Sonia Gandhi, the de-factor party head stepped in that the mutineers desisted and took back their resignations, prompting Mr Gehlot to go and personally apologize to her. He subsequently relinquished the seat of Chief Minister of Rajasthan and also decided not to contest for the post of party chief.

While we are all keen to know who would be the next chief of the Indian National Congress party, it is a bigger point of interest to know if Mr Pilot will be able to get the post of Chief Minister of Rajasthan.

In this post, I attempt to answer this question astrologically and make a prediction about the possible result of his candidature for the post of Chief Minister of Rajasthan.

Disclaimer – Mr Sachin Pilot is not one of my pilots and I found his birth details online. So, there could be some inaccuracies in my analysis. If anyone has his authentic birth details, I would be grateful if you can share the details over email with me via virnay1@yahoo.com.

Mr Pilot’s Chart

As per my calculations, I have given Mr Pilot’s chart below. In order to verify the accuracy of the chart, I attempted to calculate the timing of his father’s unfortunate demise on June 11, 2000. On that day, Mars and Ketu had a strong influence on both Venus and Sun, indicating a danger to his father. On that day, his father the late Mr Rajesh Pilot lost his life in an unfortunate air crash. Accordingly, I estimate that the details with me are relatively accurate.

My Prediction

Presently, Mr Pilot is going through the Major Period of Saturn which is placed with Sun in the 10th house of his birth chart. Since Saturn is well placed, I estimate that this current time is very favorable for my Pilot and will give him an elevation of status in his occupation and especially the Indian National Congress Party party. This is more so due to the added influence of Rahu. Accordingly, it is my estimate that Mr Pilot will be the next Chief Minister of the state of Rajasthan.

In addition, it is also evident to me due to the auspicious placement of Mars, Jupiter and Moon that he would be able to dominate his rivals and gain a strategic advantage. We are already seeing this trend from the news.

What aout Mr Ashok Gehlot?

I dont have the birth details of Mr Ashok Gehlot, I can say for sure that this current period of time is not good for him. He has not only lost the post of Chief Minister of Rajasthan but also lost the opportunity to be the party chief. In effect, his position has declined instead of improving. Therefore, I conclude that this time is a major setback for him and he will not be able to easily recover from this setback.
