Is Imran set to win the biggest match of his political innings?

As
a cricketer, former Pakistan all-rounder and captain Imran’s Khan
crowning glory came in 1992 when he led his country to a World Cup
victory in Australia. The cricketer-turned-politician is also one
among the only eight cricketers in the world to have achieved the
all-rounder’s double scoring 3807 runs and taking 362 wickets in Test
cricket. As controversial as charismatic, even in his hey days, he
gave the world a glimpse of his political aspirations immediately on
arrival from Australia with the team, holding the World Cup aloft. It
was widely reported then that he told the rapturous crowd that
greeted them, ??This is only a World Cup, and you are celebrating as
if we have won Kashmir.??

After
that World Cup victory, Imran soon retired as a cricketer and formed
his own political party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (Movement for
Justice) party in 1996. In the same year, after his mother succumbed
to cancer, he raised funds to help establish the Shaukat Khanum
Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre.

For
many years he tried to rally the Pakistan population to support his
party, but drew less than spectacular crowds. However, the recent
turmoil and confusion in the political ranks seem to have turned the
tide in his favour. As people begin to see him as the the new messiah
who will ‘save Pakistan’ , they are beginning to turn out in large
numbers at his rallies. In October, a rally in Lahore drew at least
100,000 supporters. He is now not only topping opinion polls but even
powerful and established political figures have begun defecting to
his party.

His
party has never won a seat, except his own in 2002, since it was
formed, but now with the general elections in Pakistan scheduled to
be held next year, in 2013, with the new-found support, can he aspire
to become the prime minister? Ganesha finds out with the help of
Vedic astrology.

Chart
analysis

• In
  Imran Khan’s chart, the Lord of 7^th
  House and 10^th
  House Mercury becomes very powerful by being exalted and
  Vargottama.

• Sun,
  the Lord of 9^th
  House (House of fortune) is digbali
  and strong in 10^th
  House
  of power.

• The
  conjunction of 10^th
  House Lord and 9^th
  House Lord in the 10^th
  House is a powerful Rajayoga.

• Lord
  of 5^th
  House Mars is strong in the Ascendant.

• The
  Lord of Ascendant and 5^th
  House are in exchange forming Rajayoga.

Such
a powerful chart confers name, fame and success in public life. It
also signifies his strong character and great leadership quality.

Imran
Khan’s Tehreek-e-Insaaf Party was not taken too seriously in its
early years. But his political popularity is rising rapidly in
Pakistan although his party has no representation in Pakistan’s
Parliament. He is considered as one of the most influential and
charismatic political leaders in Pakistan.

Current
planetary influences

He
is currently under the influence of Rahu dasha and Moon Bhukti.
Rahu is placed in the second House in the sign of Saturn, the planet
of democracy. Saturn is involved in Rajayoga as well. The transiting
Jupiter is passing through the 5^th
House over the natal Moon and Jupiter. But the problem area for him
is Moon Bhukti. Moon is the Lord of 8^th
House in his chart. The 8^th
Lord Moon is afflicting the 5^th
House (House of ministership). Fourth House (House of parliamentary
seat) is strong in his chart but the weak 5^th
House may hamper his progress.

Predictions

Imran
will attract the common people of Pakistan and enjoy support from the
influential sections of Pakistan politics. He will become a serious
contender for becoming Pakistan’s next prime minister in the 2013
elections. His mass following will increase regardless of his
political credentials. So the period is very promising for him. However,
the period till 23^rd
February 2013 looks very challenging for him. Imran will have to face
stiff resistance from Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan
Muslim League.

His
aggressive campaign will not give him the desired level of success
which is expected from him. His chart has not enough potential to
become the “Prime Minister” of Pakistan. He may only become
a Cabinet Minister or play an important role in the post-election
alliance.

He
is running Moon Bhukti and Moon is placed in the star of Ketu which
is in the 8^th
House. The transiting Rahu is passing through the 12^th
House. So he must not take any health related complications for
granted and must avoid taking risks with his life. He may have to
undergo humiliation and defamation as his enemies or ill-wishers may
conspire against him. All in all, Imran Khan is passing through a
very important phase of his political career.
