The
government finally tabled the much-debated Lokpal Bill in Lok-Sabha
on 22nd
December 2011. The
government also introduced a separate Bill to amend the constitution
to confer constitutional status to the proposed Lokpal institution.
The Lok Sabha in Delhi passed the anti-corruption Lokpal Bill. But
government ducked the vote in Rajya Sabha, leaving the fate of the
Lokpal Bill in limbo.
The
chart of Lokpal Bill initiation reveals a lot of things. The chart
has Taurus Ascendant with Ketu placed therein. The Lord of Ascendant
Venus is placed strongly in the 9th
House in exchange with Saturn.
However, the striking feature in the chart is the position of Moon. Moon is debilitated and
placed with Mercury and Rahu in the 7th
House. Moon
signifies the common people and all matters of common or public
interest. The Moon-Rahu conjunction shows disappointment for common
people. The Moon-Rahu-Mercury conjunction indicates
illusions, double standards, loose moral values, selfishness, and
hypocrisy.
The
entire Lokpal debate had no real conviction, and if you are
interested in getting a glimpse of hypocrisy, you must look at the
current Indian political scenario. One really can?t find any
example better than the LOKPAL issue. Interestingly, when the debate
was going on in Rajya Sabha, the transiting Moon was in Satatara
Nakshatra ruled by Rahu. Mercury was placed with Rahu in square with
Moon. So Rahu’s influence was evident again. Behind closed doors,
political parties bargained hard to see that the Congress could not
get away by imposing their LOKPAL Bill.
The
actual concept of Lokpal has been rejected altogether and has been
replaced by opportunism to endorse each and every act of politicians
whether good or bad. What can be the reason? It has become a
struggle for them, so as to retain the power. And this leads to
burgeoning corruption. It is to be noted that Rahu is placed in the Ascendant
of India’s country chart as well. Needless to say that hypocrisy
has become akin to a culture in Indian politics.
The
chart reveals that no one is actually interested in giving the common man of India a
gift in the form of Lokpal Bill. Anybody could be justified in doubting
that the political leaders’ approach on the Lokpal and Lokayukta Bill
was such that they didn’t care much to see the bill become a reality. As Mercury and Moon are afflicted severely, Lokpal
bill will have to undergo many changes before it becomes a reality.
Anna
Hazare started his movement on 5th
April 2011 at Jantar Mantar. The chart of 5th
April has Taurus Ascendant. Taurus is a fixed sign and the Ascendant
Lord Venus is placed in another fixed sign Aquarius in the 10th House, which indicates strong fixity of purpose,
a great deal of endurance, latent power and energy. Anna’s physical
power and mental endurance were indeed noteworthy during the entire
episode. He shook the Indian political scenario with his strong
protests.
The chart has strong emphasis on 5th
-11th
axis and Sun and Saturn were in opposition. 11th
is the house of Legislation and friends of the nation. 5th
is the house public and ‘high society’ . So his movement received
wide recognition particularly from higher society. But Moon is placed
in the 12th
house in Ketu’s Nakshatra Aswini. All planets in dual signs except
Venus indicates
success
may not come easily and repeated efforts will be required. Ketu in
the 2nd
house
severely afflicted by Mars
and Saturn indicates internal conflicts, aggravated problems,
obstacles, delays, disappointments and repeated efforts. However, the
Vargottama Venus and Mercury indicate
that
there will be achievement, but at the cost of struggles, compromises
and some undesirable events. We can surmise from this that Anna will achieve his goal, but not completely. It could be
part-achievement only.
Most
of the politicians may be relieved and less insecure now as there
would be no Lokpal in the near future. However, the events between
24th
January and 14th
April 2012 may be very embarrassing for them, foresees Ganesha.
