May be yes! Jupiter after entering its exalted sign of Cancer on 19^th June, 2014 moved on to the end of its sojourn in Cancer and entered the 9^th amsa. On December 9, 2014, it became retrograde and is moving back to 8^th amsa corresponding to Aquarius at 2100 hrs on January 12, 2015.

Earlier during the forward direction when it transited over natal Rahu in Aquarius in Navamsa of the Indian Independence chart, we did notice a lot of fireworks in the judicial matters across the country. Quite interestingly, the Delhi Election has just been announced today the January 12, 2015. India is now running Sun/Venus/Rahu. It is the last level of antara which is conspicuous while the last general elections were held, by and large, in Sun/Ketu/Sun. It is irony of fate that the major events are taking place in the sub period or sub-sub period of shadowy planets. What will be really shadowed is more to be seen than believed.

Interestingly enough, in the Indian Independence chart, Rahu and Jupiter have a hard aspect (square) while retro Jupiter and Rahu in transit till February 8, 2015 will have a 6/8 Shrashtaka relationship with natal Rahu in Navamsa. Therefore, the planetary geometry during the Delhi Election may not be favourable for the ruling party at the Center.

However, for the ‘Muffler man’ as he is mentioned by his opponents, Astrologically, it looks interesting. In his natal chart, Rahu is well placed in the 11^th house representing Jupiter both in the Rasi and Navamsa. Further, the last time he became the Chief Minister, his lagna lord Venus was then retrograde, and fortunately in the current scenario it is in direct motion. Further, transit Rahu is opposing natal Rahu almost at the same degree during the election on February 7, 2015. On February 15, 2015, transit Rahu and natal Rahu will be exactly opposite to each other which I feel is good for him.
