Key events and timelines for Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan
Next, we will try to validate the available birth time by matching the horoscope with key events from his life, available in the public domain.
BHIM Army Founding
In June 2015, he founded BHIM Army. During the time, he was passing through the Rahu – Ketu – Jupiter period. In his chart, Rahu occupies the 5th house, Ketu occupies the 11th house whereas Jupiter occupies the 4th house. All three houses being auspicious, we can see how the BHIM Army gained a solid future. 11 years since it’s founding, BHIM Army’s followers only keep growing.
Arrest and subsequent prison stay
In June 2017, Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan was arrested in connection to sectarian violence and rioting in Saharanpur, UP. Following his arrest, he spent some time in prison until being released on bail. During this time, he was going through the Rahu – Venus – Sun period. In his chart, Rahu is in the 5th house, Venus is in the 12th house and Sun is in the Ascendant. Venus being in the 12th house indicates confinement and arrest. The involvement of Sun shows government related issues and further confirms the arrest.
Arrest amid CAA Protests
In December 2019, Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan was again arrested as part of a protest against the Citizen Amendment Act (CAA) introduced by the government of India. At the time, he was going through the Rahu – Sun – Moon period. Just like the previous instance, we have the involvement of Rahu and Sun. However, the difference here is that the Sun plays a bigger role. In his chart, Moon is in the 3rd house of Capricorn, indicating that this arrest was a major milestone in his social and political career.
Founding of Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram)
He founded the Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) in March 2020. During the time, he was going through the Rahu – Sun – Rahu period. Here, the focus is completely on the 1st and 5th houses with the Sun and Saturn being in the 1st house whereas Rahu is in the 5th house. The Azad Samaj Party being founded was a major career breakthrough for Mr Azad and this event also highlights how much Rahu has given him in his life.
Marriage to Vandana Kumari
In April 2020, he married his wife Vandana. The exact date as per parliamentary records is April 22, 2020. However, due to the ongoing pandemic and associated restrictions at the time, I am not very sure on the exact date. So, we will broadly consider that the marriage happened before April 25, 2020. At the time, he was going through the Rahu – Sun – Jupiter period. Jupiter is normally associated with auspicious events such as marriage and childbirth and in this case, we are able to confirm the event through the involvement of Rahu, Sun and Jupiter.
In 2022, he disclosed that he and his wife have a son but the child’s details have not been disclosed by him for privacy reasons. Therefore, I cannot comment further on his son.
Contesting the UP Legislative Assembly Elections and subsequent defeat
In March 2022, he contested the Legislative elections held in the state of Uttar Pradesh. He challenged BJP Leader and UP Chief Minister Mr Yogi Adityanath. This was Mr Yogi Adityanath’s constituency of Gorakhpur, UP. While he did not win, he did make a splash by demonstrating his bravado and hunger for political success. He managed to secure around 7640 votes and lost by a margin of around 157,859 votes.
At the time, he was going through the Rahu – Moon – Venus period. In his chart, Rahu is in the 5th house, Moon is in the 3rd house and Venus is in the 12th house. The involvement of the 12th house shows an unfavorable situation whereas the involvement of the 3rd house shows challenges and a comparison of strength. In this case, the defeat was inevitable but it did result in Mr Ravan becoming a household name among people of India so I will not call it a complete setback.
Becoming a Member of Parliament for the 1st time
In 2024 General elections held in May 2024, Mr Ravan contested from the Nagina, UP seat and won the seat with a margin of 151,473 votes. He defeated Mr Om Kumar from the BJP. During the time, he was going through the Jupiter – Jupiter – Ketu period. In his chart, Jupiter is in the 4th house with Mars whereas Ketu occupies the 11th house. With both the 4th and 11th houses involved, his victory was a given.
If we compare the outcomes of the 2 elections here, we can see how the timing can have a major impact on the outcome of an event, even in the case of elections.
Current Period – May to Oct 2026
Between May to Oct 2026, he is going through the Jupiter – Saturn – Venus period. Here, we have involvement of the 1st House (Saturn and Sun), 4th House (Mars and Jupiter) and 12th House (Venus and Mercury). In this period, he can see mixed results and needs to exercise caution as the umbrella of Rahu is no more over his head. The involvement of the 12th House shows a repeat of the earlier times when he faced arrest and legal issues. He is also being criticized due to instances where he has promised misuse of the SC/ST Act and lost some credibility among people. He is advised to exercise caution in his speech and conduct to avoid any social unrest or legal troubles.
Prospects from Oct to Dec 2026
He will enter the period of Jupiter – Saturn – Moon from December 2026. This will be an easier time ahead as the focus shifts away from the 12th House to the 3rd House.
2027 and UP Elections
Mr Ravan will be relatively comfortable in 2027 as he passes through Mars, Rahu and Jupiter sub periods under Jupiter – Saturn. Of note is the Jupiter – Saturn – Rahu period from April to September 2027 that coincides with the Legislative elections in the state of Uttar Pradesh. With Rahu back in the picture, I can predict that his prospects in the election would be good. However, it is not correct to predict an election victory or defeat for his party as a whole since we need to factor in the candidates and their individual luck as well.
Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan in 2028 and Beyond
To quote a dialogue from the movie Dhurandhar. “the beauty of luck and time is that they keep changing”. We can say the same for prospects of Mr Ravan in 2028. In Jan 2028, he will enter the Jupiter – Mercury – Jupiter period. In his chart, Mercury sits in the 12th House while ruling over the 8th House and 11th House. While the 11th House is considered positive, the 8th House is considered very negative in general. Also, the presence of Mercury’s enemy Ketu in the 11th House further adds to the troubles. I have already given examples earlier about problems associated with the 12th House where Mercury is placed with Venus. The Jupiter – Mercury period will continue until April 2030.
A small respite would be the Jupiter – Mercury – Rahu period which will coincide with the 2029 General elections of May 2029. I can say that Mr Ravan may just be able to retain his seat as Member of Parliament but may not be able to secure any major success for his party in the elections.
From April 2030, he will enter the Jupiter – Ketu period and this period will not be simple as the focus falls on the 4th, 5th and 11th Houses. I predict that this period will not be very positive and may bring some personal and family challenges.
Conclusion
Mr Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan is a great example of someone who can come up from grassroots levels and establish themselves firmly in society as an influential person. In his case, Rahu has emerged as the King maker and given him success from an early age.
