The next horoscope is of very, gentle and unassertive stage politician who never did never did anything spectacular yet was generally liked. His political, career actually became noticeable only in the dasha of his AK, Mercury (Vimshottari). Otherwise in the earlier period of Saturn, he had done very well as a lawyer but the lure of politics changed his life.
There can be many explanations why the dasha of Mercury which is his AK proved so good for him.
(a) It is his ninth lord joining in a big rajayoga with the tenth lord, the Moon in the bhagyasthana (the house of luck).
(b) It is vargottama.
(c) It forms two Jaimni rajayogas by being with the Putrakaraka the Moon, and the Darakaraka, Saturn.
(d) Those who claim to give correct predictions on the basis of exalted and debilitated planets in the dashamasha should notice that in the dashamsha, Mercury is debilitated and it did not do damage to his career.
(e) Obviously the navamsha position of a planet is more important for prediction than its dashamsha position which can be used as corroborative and not the sole basis.
Look at the following instances to stimulate interest in proper research in mundane astrology and prevent the misuse of titbits of astrology, like someone’s fall only on the basis of the dasha of the Atmakaraka, without first ascertaining whether, Mahadeva referred to the Vimshottari dasha or any of the dasha of Jaimini.
(a) Indira Gandhi became most- powerful as the prime minister of India in the dasha of her AK, Saturn (Vimshottari), fell in Saturn Ketu, came back in the middle of Saturn, Venus but was shot dead in Saturn-Rahu.
(b) Rajiv Gandhi lost power in Rahu-Mercury. Mercury (Vimshottari) is his AK so excellently conjoined with- other benefics, still made him India s most powerful ever opposition leader. It was not a fall in the accepted sense of the term. But he died in Rahu-Mercury period, in the sub-period of his AK, while his mother Indira Gandhi had died 31-10-84 in the major dasha of her AK.
But when the maraka period comes, one dies whether it is the dasha of AK or not. For maraca certain other rules have to be applied.
I examined the horoscopes, of Some high placed bureaucrats and found the results of AK’s dasha equally baffling. The horoscope of an officer of the Indian Administrative Officer is given here
He went on getting his normal promotions. I gave him many predictions, one of which was that he would have a lot of earnings in his Sun dasha from abroad which neither he nor his wife would accept. He became an expert in oceanography and started international consultancy while in the meantime he was denied his promotion to the post of secretary to the government of India during the Sun-Jupiter period. After taking voluntary retirement he has earned to much that he does not know h6wbest to invest it. Was it a fall? Or was it a period of prosperity though he was denied promotions? I know of many cases when promotions were denied and AK had no role in it.

Sun 29024′ Mercury 3055′ Saturn 15025
Moon 9005′ Jupiter. 13042′ Rahu’ 13059’
In another case of a man in legal profession, a very significant change came in his career in the sub-period of his AK when he changed from one post to another with tremendous financial benefit and also enhanced status.
All that can be said about the role of AK, whether it is the Vimshottari dasha or the Chara dasha that one must wait and watch and do deep research and not to jump to sensational conclusions.
