Aam Aadmi Party - Reason For The Meteoric Rise

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was formed in 2012, with the objective of eradicating corruption in politics and increasing the participation and say of commoners in the functioning of the government. In just over 10 years, the AAP has formed governments in 2 Indian states. For a party that was formed by social-activists and people with no political-background and experience, it has done well to, very convincingly, win three state-elections, (2015, 2020 & 2022) in a short span of ten years.

We, being an astrology website, will evaluate for our readers and followers, the horoscope of the Aam Aadmi Party, touching upon some of the salient features of the horoscope and explaining the reasons behind AAP’s popularity and the strong connection this political party has made with voters.

Following is the horoscope and the details required to cast it.

Name of Entity - Aam Aadmi Party

Date of Birth – 26^th November 2012

Time of Birth – 12:00 PM

Place of Birth – New Delhi, India

AAP Horoscope – Salient Features

1. 3 benefic planets in Kendras. (Moon, Venus and Mercury)
2. Conjunction of all three trikona lords in the 10^th House.
3. 2 Maha-Purush Yogas - Shash Yoga (formed by Saturn) and Malavya Yoga (formed by Venus) in the 10^th house.

(Maha-Purush = Great Man

(In this case, we should say Maha-Sangathan Yogas which translates to Great Organisation Yogas.)

4. Conjunction of the 9^th and the 10^th Lords (Mercury & Venus) in the 10^th house, which forms an ‘A grade’ Rajyoga. (A Rajyoga gives liberty to decide what the entity/ native wants to do. Others are not able to force their will onto such people / entities easily)    
5. An extremely strong, dignified and well-fortified position of the Lagna lord in the 10^th house. As per classical text (Saravali authored by Kalyan Varma) even this is a Rajyoga.
6. Placement of the 5^th & 10^th lord (Venus) in the 10^th house. Placement of trikon lords with kendra houses (trine-lords with quadrants) and vice-versa gives a Rajyoga.
7. Conjunction/Alliance of the Lagna Lord (1^st lord) Saturn, with the 10^th lord Venus, is also recognised as a Rajyoga by modern-day astrologers. Entities / persons with such planetary combinations become 'founders of institutions' especially if this alliance is formed in a Kendra house. 

Now, before we explain the importance, meaning and relevance of the given yogas, (combinations in the horoscope) we will give some information to the readers through some questions relevant to the topic.

Question – What is the purpose of a democracy? Who is the most important in a democracy?

OR

Which category of people, are the most important in a democracy?

Ans – The purpose of a democracy is to give people the power to choose their leader, thereby giving them a say in the formation of policies and rules they are governed by.

In any society, the people who do hard-physical-labour, or those who toil hard and sweat to earn their money, or people in blue-collar jobs, greatly out-number the white and super-white-collar-job population. Things are no different in India. Largely being an agricultural and rural economy, India’s population consists of people working in the agricultural sector, factory-workers, manual-labourers, and fishermen.

This category of people – the working class, is represented in astrology by Saturn. Saturn is the significator of the masses.

In any country or society, easily, about two-thirds of the population, fall in the working-class category, or the category of people who are represented by Saturn. Being the largest group, they are the voters who decide the fate of parties contesting elections.

Therefore, in a democracy, the most important people are the working class.

And consequently, the most important planet in the horoscope of any political party, operating in any democratic set-up, is the planet that represents the working-class – Saturn.

Saturn represents the ‘working class’ or the commoners. The Hindi words ‘Aam Aadmi’ literally mean – ‘common man’. The name of the entity being discussed here is the ‘Aam Aadmi Party’. After evaluating their horoscope, we think the AAP could not have chosen a more apt name for their party.

Question – Why are points 2 to 7 in the salient features list, talking about the 10^th house? What’s so special about this house?

Ans – The importance of the 10^th house will be given in 3 parts.

Part 1 – Influence of the 10^th House

In any horoscope, the 1^st, 4^th, 7^th & 10^th houses are called kendras. ‘Kendra’ is a Sanskrit word and literally means ‘centre’. If a planet is placed in any of the four ‘centres’ of the horoscope, it becomes a major and very important decision-maker in the life-story of the person/entity. And, the people/objects/environments that signify such a planet, become the main characters and objects in the life-story of that person/entity.

If the horoscope was a maths equation, planets in the Kendra houses would be the ‘constants’ in that equation and planets in other houses would be ‘variables’. What this means is – results indicated by planets placed in kendra houses of the horoscope are relatively constant throughout life and the promises made by such planets are delivered on repeatedly.

Therefore, for the Aam Aadmi Party, the working-class, and its issues and concerns, will always be a constant in the Aam Aadmi Party’s agenda.

If Saturn had been in any other house, which was not a Kendra, the issues and concerns of the working-class would have become ‘variables’ for the AAP, to be tweaked and used as per convenience in their political experiments.

Also, each of these kendra houses, has a stronger and more apparent impact on the life of the person/entity than the previous kendra house. This implies – The 4^th house is stronger than the 1^st house, the 7^th house is stronger than the 4^th house, and the 10^th house is stronger than the 7^th house.

(The 1^st house is called the ‘Lagna’ and apart from being a ‘kendra’ house, it is also a ‘trikona’ (trine) house. By virtue of it having 2 important roles/portfolios, it sometimes gains more strength and importance than even the 10^th house.)

Order of Importance/Strength/Influence of Kendra Houses à 1 < 4 < 7 <10.

So, the 4 most impactful houses of the horoscope are the kendras, and in majority cases, the most impactful out of the 4 kendras is the 10^th house.

Now, this order of strength is an astrological principle. ‘Strength’ implies several things, but chiefly means that a planet in the 10^th house will do more and have a greater say, in the life of the person/entity, than a planet in the 4^th or the 7^th house.

Part 2 – Synonymous with Karma

The word ‘Karma’ literally means ‘action’.

In the Vedic culture, the most important thing has always been ‘Karma’ or actions performed by the person/entity. It has been more important than even ‘God’.

Some western cultures, give maximum importance to ‘God’, but for them too, the most important thing is still ‘Karma’. For some reason, they refuse to acknowledge it, or maybe haven’t yet realized. We will prove why…..keep reading.

Most people will agree, when meeting somebody for the first time, after the exchange of pleasantries and names, the first few words usually are - “So, what do you do?”

This is because, the world-over, people are known by their profession, even if the ‘profession’ or activity they are involved in, pays in kind instead of cash.

Why and how is ‘profession’ of a person, identified with his/her ‘Karma’?

‘Professional work’ is done in a 10-12 hour window on most days of the week, when people are awake, active and conscious about what they are doing. Actions performed while at work, constitute the bulk of ‘karma’ people accumulate in their life.

The fact that this karma is what people are asked about first, when meeting strangers, makes it the most important thing, in all cultures across the world, not just in the Vedic culture.

How is Karma linked to the 10^th house? Why talk about Karma at all?

The nature, direction, field/area of the ‘karma’ of a person /entity can be seen / evaluated/adjudged /assessed /analysed by looking at the 10^th house of the horoscope. This is because the 10^th house signifies the ‘profession’ or ‘karma’ of the person /entity.

In our opinion, the following statement sums-up the message we are trying to convey – 

Identity = Profession = Karma = 10^th house of the horoscope.

So we see, most people begin conversations with an inadvertent mention of the 10^th house. That is how important the 10^th house is.

Part 3 – Significance in the ‘Astrology of Politics’

In mundane-astrology, (Medhini-Jyotish) or the branch of astrology which deals with horoscopes of countries, political-parties and other such large groups/organisations, the 10^th house signifies the government, the people in power, or the decision-makers who decide for that group / organisation / country. Since the AAP is a political party, it is imperative that the strength of their 10^th house is assessed and correlated with their victories and what they do after forming the government.

Also, this interpretation of the 10^th house explains the ‘Karma’ over God theory.

à Who decides for the nation? The government.

        + Which house in the horoscope represents the government? The 10^th House

        + Which house in the horoscope represents ‘Karma’? The 10^th House

à Therefore, who decides for the individual? His/her own ‘Karma’ (not God)

Hopefully, the three-part answer would have explained to the readers, the importance and significance of the 10^th house, and why we have listed all the noteworthy points about the 10^th house in AAP’s horoscope.

Before going forward, let us quickly recapitulate what has been said so far –

1. The working class is the most important group in a democracy.
2. Saturn represents the working class.
3. Planets in kendra houses become major decision-makers in shaping life.
4. The 10^th house is the strongest kendra.
5. Identity = Profession = Karma = 10^th house.
6. The 10^th house signifies the government or the decision-makers.

Now please see AAP’s horoscope. You will find that Saturn is exalted (placed in Libra - 7), and it is in the 10^th house. When we say a planet is exalted, it means it occupies a zodiac-sign wherein it is happiest. In addition to Saturn being in its exaltation sign, it is placed in the 10^th house.

Please Note – Exaltation, and placement in the 10^th house, are 2 different things. Saturn could have been exalted in the 9^th house, or the 12^th house, or any other house. But those houses would not have been kendras. Even if the house had been any other kendra, (4^th or 7^th) it would not have been as important, impactful and influential, as in the 10^th house.

So, Saturn’s occupation of its exaltation-sign (favourite zodiac-sign), while being in the most powerful kendra-house, makes it a major influencer and decision-maker in the life-events of the Aam Aadmi Party.

Also, in AAP’s horoscope, the 10^th Lord – Venus, is placed in the 10^th house. This placement of the 10^th lord in the 10^th house, strengthens the 10^th house considerably.

What does all this mean?

The meaning of all this is –

1. The working class (Saturn) will be the happiest (Saturn in Libra) when AAP is in power. (10^th House)
2. The needs, concerns and issues related to the working class will always be the deciding factors in the policy-making process of the Aam Aadmi Party.
3. The working class will always feel they have a say in the functioning of the government when AAP is in power.
4. Victory for AAP will translate into a victory for the working class because people will realize the true meaning of being in a democracy, under an AAP government.
5. A strong 10^th house does not mean the AAP will win all elections it contests, but whenever it forms the government, it will surely work to build comfort and ease in the life of the working-class.

Question – How and why, will the AAP build ‘comfort and ease’ in the life of the working-class?

Saturn is placed in the 10^th house of the horoscope with Venus. Venus is a planet that signifies luxury, comfort and vehicles. Through its association with Saturn, Venus will create luxuries, thereby making life easier for Saturn. The same combination (Saturn-Venus conjunction) is repeated in the Navamsha chart, but in the 6^th house of 'service'. This implies, AAP governments will use available resources, especially technology, to make life easier for the ‘service’ class voter. AAPs initiatives for providing free public transport for women and students, subsidized electricity and water to the poor, free medical-treatment and world-class educational facilities for the under-privileged and door-step delivery of services and food-rations are some examples of how the promise of ‘luxury-creation’ made by Venus to Saturn, has been delivered-on through AAP’s karma (10^th house).

Question – Several AAP leaders have been accused of corruption and put in jail. Is there any fire behind the smoke?

Since March 2023, the party has been running Venus-Saturn dasha. This dasha operates for a duration of 38 months and is notorious for knocking the ‘living day-lights’ out of entities/people which it operates on. Majority of the people who have experienced either Venus-Saturn or Saturn-Venus dasha in their life, will tell you that they had some moments during those 38 months, when they had near-death experiences and saw their entire life 'flash before their eyes' in a couple of seconds. 

This is because this dasha repeatedly brings the person/entity, face to face with death or death-like/dire situations which are extremely trouble-some/humiliating.       

This should tell our readers why AAP leaders have to face the situations that they find themselves in. If there had been any fire behind the smoke, there would have no delay in either furnishing of ‘case-clinching evidence’ by prosecuting agencies, or the pronouncement of adverse judgements by the courts in which the accused AAP leaders are being tried.

We are in March 2024 and only 12 out of the said 38 months have passed. Unless the General Elections of 2024 are conducted fairly, the Aam Aadmi Party will have to stand tall and brave-out the remaining 26 months of this dasha along with all the troubles that come with it. It is unlikely that AAP’s political opponents will allow it to breathe-easy even in the remaining 2 years of the Venus-Saturn dasha.

Question – Why is JyotishWorks.com, advertising for the AAP? Is the website run by an agent of the party? What is the purpose of this writing this article?

Answer – The primary objective of this website is to help our clients and readers in making informed and smart decisions, which they are less likely to regret later. The publication of this article is an effort towards achieving that objective. Through this article, we want to provide some inputs that can help voters in India make an informed decision about whether or not they should vote for AAP in the next election.

This website is NOT run by an agent or member of the Aam Aadmi Party. We have spent a lot of time in evaluating the horoscopes of significant political parties in India, and after all our analysis, we conclude that there is no other political party which will be able to match the voter-satisfaction score (if there were to be such a thing) that AAP can achieve after being in power for sometime.

We say this because no other political party, repeat….NO OTHER POLITICAL PARTY, has an exalted Saturn placed in the strongest ‘kendra’ house of the horoscope. As stated before, these are 2 different things, and in our opinion, they are unique features of AAP’s horoscope, neither of which will be found in the horoscope of any major political party registered in India. We say this with confidence because we’ve seen all their horoscopes.

Don’t Believe Us? ..... Check for Yourself

Those readers who don’t agree with us about no other political party in India being able to match the strength of AAP’s 10^th house and consequently their capability to deliver on the promises of making life easy and comfortable for the working class, and want to verify for themselves before they decide on which party to vote for, should follow the steps listed below.

1. Find out the dates on which other political parties were officially floated.

(date, month and year)

2. Find out where (place) the other parties were registered and at what time.
3. If you unable to get information about the exact time at which the party was registered, simply use 12:00 pm as the time of birth.
4. Go to any astrology website which offers a free horoscope making service.

(You can also use JyotishWorks.com’s free horoscope service here. Click on ‘Free Online Horoscope’ on the menu bar)

5. Using the information gathered in steps 1, 2 and 3, make the horoscope of the political party.
6. Check where Saturn is placed. (You already know why Saturn’s position is important)
7. See the Moon-Chart / Moon-Rasi / Chandra-Lagna to find out if Saturn is placed in a kendra (quadrilateral box). Even if the exact time of birth is not known, the Moon chart can be used as a very reliable alternate horoscope, which will, in almost all cases, very clearly and unmistakably show whether Saturn is placed in a kendra or not. It will also show whether Saturn is exalted. (To identify kendra houses in a horoscope, please see the Afterword section of our article - 'The Sporting Spirit')   
8. If you are unable to gather information about the ‘birth-dates’ and ‘birth-places’ of political parties, write to us at admin@jyotishworks.com

We will send you the information you need.

And finally, before we end this piece, we want the reader to think about the following questions –

1. Were all the stated planetary combinations in AAP’s horoscope, achieved through intentional effort or purely by accident?

In other words, did a smart astrologer carefully work-out a date and time for the official start/registration of the Aam Aadmi Party or are the ‘much-sought-after’ yogas in AAP’s horoscope just a coincidence?

2. Even if the strength of AAP’s 10^th house has been achieved purely by accident, can anyone knowledgeable about astrology deny, that their victories and successes, and the capability to make the effort that brought them those victories, stem from the strength of their 10^th house?

OR

Ultimately, is it not the strength of the muhurta chosen for declaration of AAP as a new entity, (political party) the reason for its success?

3. Can others also benefit through the strength of a carefully calculated muhurta, just like the Aam Aadmi Party?

If your answer is 'Yes' then you should see our  Muhurta Calculation  service page.
