“A strong society should not be confused with a strong state.”
“Duty is the cornerstone of a decent society.”
“Britain needs more successful people who can become rich by success through the money they earn.”

FAMILY BACKGROUND & EDUCATION
The son of a barrister and lecturer, Mr Tony Blair spent most of his childhood in Durham. At 14 he returned to Edinburgh to finish his education at Fettes College. He studied law at Oxford and became a barrister. His father, Leo, was the son of Charles Parsons, a small-time actor, and Celia Ridgeway, a dancer and a dropout from a rich family. Because they were unmarried at the time Leo was born, he was adopted by a couple in Scotland called Blairs.
POLITICAL BACKGROUND
Mr Blair won Sedgefield seat in the 1983 General Election, at the age of 30 and rose through ranks to Treasury front bench in 1984, became a trade and industry spokesman and was elected to the Shadow Cabinet in 1988. In 1989 he moved to the employment brief.
After the 1992 election Labor’s new leader, John Smith, promoted Blair to Shadow Home Secretary. It was in this post that Blair made famous his pledge that Labour would be tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime. John Smith died suddenly and unexpectedly in 1994, and in the subsequent leadership contest Tony Blair won a large majority of his party’s support. Mr Blair immediately launched his campaign for the modernization of the Labour Party and the Labour Party won the 1997 General Election by a landslide, after 18 years in Opposition.
At the age of 43, Mr Tony Blair became the youngest Prime Minister since Lord Liverpool in 1812. Mr Blair was re-elected with another landslide majority in the 2001 General Election. He is married to the barrister Cherie Booth QC, and they have four children. Their youngest, Leo named after his birth father, was the first child born to a serving Prime Minister in over 150 years.
ASTROLOGICAL ANALYSIS
He has exhalted Sun in 7th bhava and maha raja yoga karaka Sani in Lagna aspecting 7th and 10th. He has 10th lord aspecting 10th and lagna lord in exhaltation in 6th making him a great debator and barrsiter.
In navamsa 10th lord is in vyaya in neecha but guru as 2nd and 5th lord are aspecting 10th , which gives developmental attitude in all his professional life.. Sani in 11th is lucky specially as 3rd lord and it being aspected by lagna lord kuja. This may make him and his children accident prone in Sani Kuja periods. In Saptamsa 2nd lord in 2nd, 7th lord in 4th gives great success to spouse and makes him a family man first and foremost.
Bhagya Rajya Adhipati Yoga with Sani in 11th is very lucky for him in political life – always to have right things at right time in his life. Lagna lord in exhaltation in sixth makes him a ruthless fighter and winner in all competitive circumstances.
In dasamsa 10th lord in lagna, 6th lord in 6th, 4th lord in 4th with 5th lord makes Great Raja Yogas. 9th lord in 2nd makes good bhagya/dhana yoga. Moon Maha Dasa of his childhood with Rahu in Jala and Cara Rasi of Makara in 4th house indicates his spending his early years away from his birthplace.
Kuja and Rahu Maha Dasas have given him education and good practice. Rahu Moon in 1983 gave rise to his political career Moon as 10th lord and Rahu are associated with Moon and also both of them are aspecting the 10th house. In 1997 in Guru Moon which is again the dasa of his 10th lord – has lifted him to the Prime Minister’s post – with the death of a senior party leader as guru as 6th lord is in 8th house with Kuja – partially making a Vipariita Raja Yoga. There is no looking back after that from then till now.
Guru Rahu Moon period of 2001 has given him again another thumping majority in elections to continue his leadership of UK. Sani Maha Dasa from March 2002 continues to be good as 4th and 5th lord – Sani becomes a Maha Raja Yoga Karaka and is aspecting the 10th house. Sani Sani from Mar 2002 to Mar 2005 will be excellent Mudra Adhikara for him.
In October 2003 he had a mild heart condition which led to lots of speculation about his fitness and being tired due to Iraq war. This period coincides with Sani Sani Sun – Sun representing Kalapurushas heart and Budha as vyaya lord with Sun and both in 7th or Maraka Sthana from Sani. There is no danger for him in near future but in Sani Sun of Jan 2012 Mr Blair must be extremely careful of a severe heart problem.
FUTURE OF MR BLAIR
Sani Budha from Mar 2005 to Oct 2007 is a crucial period as Budha is vyaya lord from both lagna and Mahadasa Natha Sani. He is also a Maraka being in 7th. In spite of being with exhalted Sun, in rasi Sani Budha are 6 and 8, in navamsa Budha is 10th lord from Sani and is in 8th from Sani – a Maraka Sthana. In Saptamsa again Budha is in 8th from Sani and 6th from lagna. In dasamsa Budha is in 6th from lagna and is aspected by Sani.
Even though June 2006 is the latest date when parliament elections are scheduled,Mr. Blair may face plenty of opposition in his own party right from start of Sani Budha from Mar 2005. In fact, in summer 2005 he may force early elections and Mr Blair may not have the continuation of the Raja Yoga and Mudra Adhikara he is enjoying for the last 7 years.He will concede the throne to others in Budha latest by summer 2006 if not in summer 2005. He may also have personal loss of close relatives. Thus it looks like that Mr Blair – an ardent supporter of Mr Bush may follow Mr Bush out of the throne.
Like his predecessor Mr Atlee did at crucial time, Mr Blair may have a great come back in Sani moon in Dec 2012 if he overcomes his health problem of Sani Sun in Jan 2012.
