The Precision of a Prediction
by K N Rao
March, 1983
A young lawyer from U.P., Mr U. S. Singh, practicing in the Supreme
Court, brought his senior Mr. U.P.Singh on one Sunday in March, 1983,
to my place.
Without asking any question, when I, as usual, got a re-cast horoscope
and scrutinized it, I told him that if his question was about elevation to the
High Court, it would take place soon.
Mr U.P. Singh said that that precisely was his question.
Some sweet emotion stirs up in me when a Bihari puts a question
sincerely and places before me correct birth-details. God rewards such
reactions, rare though, with pin-pointed concentration and much higher
percentage of accurate predictions than in many other cases. No
astrologer should forget this divine law which he sees in operation, so
clearly.
Now see the horoscope.
Birth horoscope: Rasi: Gemini-Lagna 19°17'; Leo-Ketu 1°01'; Virgo-
the Moon 18°23' and Jupiter 20°48'; Libra-the Sun 28°53'; Scorpio-
Mercury(R) 9°31'; Sagittarius-Mars 3°33' and Venus 15°41'; Capricorn-
Saturn 17°36'; and Rahu-1°01'.
Navamsa: Pisces-Lagna; Aries-Ketu; Taurus-Mars; Gemini-Saturn,
Moon and Sun; Cancer-Jupiter; Leo-Venus and Mercury; and Libra-Rahu.
Dasamsa: Sagittarius-Lagna; Capricorn-Mars; Aquarius-Saturn and
Rahu; Gemini-Venus; Cancer-Jupiter; Leo-Ketu; Libra-Mercury; and
Scorpio-the Moon.
ANALYSIS: At a glance the prediction was clear.
(a) Jupiter the judge-maker, involved in Gajakesari Yoga and as lord
of the 7th (position) and the 10th (Karma) promises a spell as a judge
after 24 years of successful practice in the Supreme Court of India.
(b) Lord of courts (Mars with the 5th lord, involved in Shankha-Yoga
in the house of position (7th), aspects the 10th house.
(c) The break in career will be completed by the 8th lord Saturn
aspecting the 10th house.
(d) And Saturn's Dasa, is on. But in which Antar-dasa? By general
principles, Saturn-Mercury is always a good period. Positionally Mercury
is in the 11th from Saturn in the house of courts, retrograde. Better still, in
Navamsa Mercury is exalted and in Dasamsa he is the 10th lord, in the
11th.
(e) In which pratyantara was the next question. There was no doubt
that it will have to be Jupiter's—the 10th lord in birth horoscope and
Navamsa in which he is exalted and placed in the house of transfer with
Gaja-kesari Yoga.
(f) But the actual movement will have to be afterwards; Saturn from
the 8th delays a decision and then helps Mr U P Singh "snap" connection
with the Supreme Court as a lawyer.
HIS EXPECTATIONS:
Mr Singh was expecting everything to move fast, which appeared
over-optimistic to me as Jupiter sub-sub period would begin in July, 1983.
But the file was on the move, Mr. Singh said. Some files in India have
more halting stations than any train of the Indian Railways.
But there were only three vacancies and 12 candidates, Mr Singh had
feared. But since there was a benefic in the 6th house in birth, Navamsa
and Dasamsa horoscopes and the sub-sub period of the 6th lord was
already over, I told him no contest was visible. "There may be no
opponents, no fight.....".
EVENTS:
The subsequent events were:
(a) As soon as Jupiter sub-sub period began, the file "moved" in July
1983. But, in the meantime, Mr Jagannath Misra, the Chief Minister of
Bihar, fell in August, 1983, and the file got derailed.
(b) But one good development in the meantime was that out of the 12
candidates for three posts, some were dropped; and some withdrew. Mr
Singh was left alone with no candidates for the other two posts, it was
rumoured.
(c) Mr Singh was happy and elated with the development but since no
"progress" had been registered in the movement of the file, he feared that
proposal itself might be dropped.
(d) But Bihar's new Chief Minister pushed the file, and the Sun moved
into Sagittarius, with Saturn's sub-sub period also began, the time for
"snapping" connection with the Supreme Court.
(e) On the birth day of India's Prime Minister, November 1983, Saturn
conveyed his "approval" though the file was not, yet "out". But as soon as
the Sun moved into Sagittarius, the file moved very fast.
(f) When should we expect it," Mr Singh had asked me in the late
November. Jupiter had yet to move into Sagittarius, the 7th house from
Lagna promising position and transfer." I felt. "After 22nd December,
1983" I replied.
(g) Next, when we met in the last week of January, 1984, Mr U P
Singh had already been examined medically. When should he expect the
official notification, he asked me. Pisces, the 10th from his Ascendant, I
guessed and answered "between February 6th and 8th 1984".
(h) On February 6th, it was notified. The P.T.I. news item carried the
date-time of 7th February, and reported: "Mr Udai Pratap Singh, an
advocate, has been appointed a judge of the Patna High Court with effect
from the date he assumes charge of his office".
