Election astrology

The ancient Vedic astrology, also known as knowledge of light, analyses the forecasting of possible events through the observation of the stars, the Sun, the Moon, and the planets. Traditionally, various kings, maharajas, and rulers of the subcontinent used to value the advice given by astrologists in their cabinets to perform state matters daily.

According to Vedic astrology, the rotation of planets and the position of stars in the astronomical universe have a profound impact on our lives and destinies. The significance of Vedic Jyotish Astrology in modern times has also been recognized by the Supreme Court of India, and higher degree programs in Hindu astrology are now being offered in universities there.

During my recent detailed discussions with renowned Astrologers Raj Pandit and Irfan ul Haq, they do not see elections in February. However, on another occasion, female notable astrologer N Bakhsh seemed quite hopeful for elections to be held as per schedule. The astrologists, while making the horoscopes of prominent politicians, predicted that the political situation is still not favorable for Imran Khan in 2024 until he completes the karmic process of his past deeds. “Nawaz Sharif's return to Pakistan may be beneficial for Shehbaz Sharif to get the throne of Lahore, but not for himself". Astrologers say that the year 2024 is influenced by the planet Saturn, which is known as the planet of karma, rewards, and repays.

Every good person is expected to get a good return for good deeds in the year 2024. Due to its karmic nature, the year will surely reward a senior politician who has a long track record of tireless struggle and remarkable contributions to strengthening parliamentary politics.

New Year horoscopes predict that Simha Rashi is one of the luckiest zodiac signs throughout the year. Known as Leo in English Astrology, people born under this sign are thought to be natural leaders who will continue to amaze others with their courage. Astrology indicates the year full of great achievements for Leos born to rule the hearts of the people.

According to Sukhdev Baba, who believes in a mystical connection between numbers and various aspects of human life, each year has its specific number. The relationship of this number with the number of each person determines several outcomes in terms of achievements, destiny, and luck. According to the Vedic knowledge of Ank Jyotish numerology, the summation of the year 2024 is 8 in which the number 2 comes twice. It means that good events will happen in a person's life in 2024, depending on how the numbers 8 and 2 connect to their root number. The number 2, influenced by the Planet Moon, determines balance, peace, and harmony in Vedic astrology. People associated with this number are gentle by nature, flexible, supportive, and kind to others.

The victory in the upcoming elections to be held on the eighth day of the second month of the year 2024 with root number 8, is predicted for a politician whose root number relates to 8 and 2, as per Vedic astrology. When I analyzed all the above predictions, traits, and astrology, the name of renowned senior politician Asif Ali Zardari echoed in my mind; his zodiac sign is Leo; his birth date is July 26 with the root number 8, and his birth year is 1955 with the summation of 2.

Famous for his unique politics of reconciliation, he is a well-known politician who faced numerous difficulties and challenges in his life bravely with a smile. As a reward for his tireless struggle and notable contributions, the karmic year 2024 with the influence of the Planet Saturn, is ready to bless him in the form of Raj Singhasan (throne) of Islamabad. Let’s pray that the upcoming election will bring peace, prosperity, and development to the people of Pakistan.
