Vinod Khanna: An Astrological Case Study

Birth details as of October 6, 1946; 21:15; +5:30 (71E27/32N02) birth time is rectified by me to be 21:38 using few criteria and dasa judgment along with other traits. That we will look shortly and in this process lagna degree comes to 22Ta21.

Early Life

Had three sisters and one brother: that is clearly seen in Ashtakvarga where 3^rd from Mars is having 2 points and 11^th from Mars is having 3 points totalling 4. We find point giving planets are Mercury (Twice – female) Jupiter (Once – Male) and Mars (Once – must be male but due to exchange between Venus and Mars changed to female)

Just after his birth, India was portioned and the family moved to Mumbai: we can see the 9th house that represents father and must also represent Father’s land (from where father belongs, paternal family) most people take this house for travels but in my humble opinion it must be taken for travels only when it is afflicted indicating that due to some problems person won’t be able to live in father’s land and must move outside. However here we find an exchange between 3rd and 9th house that shows due to 3rd house matters (fight) father changed placed in short distance (under the same country) why change because the same 9^th house is under 9^th aspect of Rahu (foreign element, Shock) 7^th aspect of Saturn (weak aspect thus we only take it as malefic influence and not for deciding circumstances causing the event) and Mars (complete 4^th aspect shows anger and rage in the city) along with Rahu’s strong 9^th aspect shows mass murder and partition.

Father was textile and dyes businessman: we come to see D12 where we find Aquarius lagna and 6th lord (10th from 9th) is in 2nd house with Venus that is lord of 9th and 4th house (8th from 9th) 7th house from 9th house having exalted Sun and 6th lord is debilitated in 12th house is a clear indication that father is in business and not in the job. Nature of profession can be seen with own Rashi mars with Sun who being significator if Ink shows dye and Venus with 10^th lord Moon shows textile.

Personality

Handsome: lagna and Navamsa lagna shows one’s personality and one look. Rahu is the one who is very handsome as far as Kaliyuga is concerned whereas Venus is renowned for his beauty (other than that Moon can give round and lovely face, Mercury jolly and laughing face. Jupiter can give good professional handsome look and Mars makes on look younger than his age) Also nature of signs in Lagna and Navamsa lagna changes one’s face cut. Fiery signs make one of triangle-shaped face cut. The earthy sign gives a square with a prominent jawline; the watery sign gives a round face with mostly a double chin whereas the Airy signs are an oval face cut with a prominent cheekbone. (One can see Vedic Jyotish has many tools using which rectification becomes much easy) there is an earthly sign in lagna and a watery sign in navamsa lagna but as Rashi is strong with exalted Rahu (Parasara takes Rahu to be exalted in Taurus) he had an Earthly square face cut. Along with this Rahu in both Lagna and Navamsa lagna with the aspect of Venus in D1 and with Venus in D9 made him a handsome actor and heartbeat of many.

Education

Changed to Delhi Public School, Mathura Road in 1957: Dwisaptati Sama Dasa applies in this chart due to Venus being in the 7^th house as lord of Lagna. As mostly we don’t know exact dates we can find difficulty in finding antardasa will use three divisions of a dasa to predict events (that is a very well known method but now rarely used and works amazingly – No old astrologer I saw ever missed to apply this)

It was Venus-Sun. 4^th is the house of Vidya and Sun being lord of 4^th house shows education and due to Aspect of Rahu and Saturn shows instability in same and change in place. Whereas Mahadasa lord Venus is lord of 3^rd house (short travel) from 4^th house of Vidya. From D1 we get to know some events related to education must happen and when we come to all divisional houses related to 4th house (D4, D16, D24) we find in D24 Sun is aspecting 4th house being debilitated in 7th from 4th house shows the change in place but the education wasn’t discontinued A debilitated planet can show discontinuation in education but thanks to exchanging between Venus and Sun that makes both come under influence of 4^th lord Mars and saves his education with only change in place because Venus is in 8^th house from D24 lagna that shows education.

Graduated with a commerce degree: 9^th house in birth chart deals with higher education and we find Moon placed there in an exchange with Saturn. Moon is Brahmin as well as Vaishya (Usually I consider Moon strong in Paksha bala as Brahmin and weak or in Krishna Paksha as Vaishya) but here due to exchange with Saturn (Significator of Dark – Krishna Paksha), it shows commerce education. In D24 9^th house is vacant but lorded by Mercury and aspected by Jupiter and the sign being Virgo Mool-Trikona of Mercury shows her degree in commerce.

Bollywood Career

Debut in 1968: that will be Saturn Mahadasa and Antardasa can be of Mars or Mercury. Between them from D10 Mercury having his aspect on 10^th house looks best to start a career. Here we find Saturn Dasa from 1962 to 1971 (A total of 9 years) which when divided by 3 gives 3 years span. 1962-1965, 1965-1968, 1968-1971. We find it to be in the middle part. Saturn in D1 is lord of the 10th house and is in 7th house from Moon (refer to our article on Chandra Kundali http://shubhamalock.com/ascendants/chandra-kundali-the-moon-horoscope where we said planets in 7th house from Moon shows person’s own quest for prominence in life) and we can see not going into his family business he started his own career in films. Saturn being in a hind rising sign middle part of dasa must give the effect of Saturn himself. (The last effect will be of Sign and aspects on that, 2nd will be of Saturn and 1st will be of Moon lord of the sign) and Saturn is lord of the 10th house from Lagna. And in Dasamsa he is with the 10th lord. And being in same sign effects will be of Saturn’s own and his conjunction with 10th lord and he being Dispositor of debilitated Jupiter placed in trine to 10th house in D10 signifies his start of a career. From 1968 to 1971 until the end of Saturn dasa he played the role of Villains or supporting actors matching the nature of Saturn (we see how beautifully conditional dasa works – if we follow parashara strictly and in case of special conditions use conditional dasa in spite of Vimshottari Dasa)

1973 to 1982 Successful as a lead actor: this was complete Rahu dasa and some part of Sun dasa. If we use dual lordship as suggested by Sage Jaimini for Aquarius we find Rahu as the 10th lord being in lagna having the dignity of exaltation. In Dasamsa Chakra we find him being placed in lagna as lord of 7th house giving success in business (films, where you’re independent to work, can’t fall under the domain of 6th house) but how Rahu gave this much phenomenal success. If we use Jaimini principles we find Rahu is complete Yogda being placed in Lagna, Navamsa Lagna and Drekkana Lagna. (Learned readers will do well to apply Drig Dasa here – that is applicable when a planet is in the 9th house from lagna and watch how amazingly both Parashara and Jaimini synchronize. The reason I am ignoring Trikona Dasa is that lord of Arudh Lagna is not in trine to Lagna)

[Quickly we see Drig Dasa – Commences from Capricorn and Dasa are Capricorn 1946-1953, Scorpio 1946-1961, Leo 1961-1969, Taurus 1969-1977, Aquarius 1977-1985. This was in Taurus where Rahu has exalted itself. Rahu is Yogda, in D9 Taurus is aspected by Rahu and in D3 5^th from Taurus (house which shows power) is Rahu. Aquarius we know is lorded by Rahu in jaimini astrology and in D1 and D3 9^th from Aquarius is Jupiter and Mercury. Jupiter shows power. 5^th from Aquarius in Navamsa is Moon]

Highest paid actor between 1974-1982 & 1987-1995: we find this to fall mostly under Rahu and Moon Dasa. Rahu is yogda and powerful to give prominence as well as money (this is what Rajyoga really means) and Moon being in 9^th house aspected by 9^th lord (Parashara considers 2^nd 5^th 9^th and 11^th as money houses) in D1 and being lord of 1^st house aspecting 11^th house and being aspected by 5^th lord while being placed in 5^th house in Vedic Hora makes him a Dhanyoga giver in D2.

1982-1986 – Became a follower of OSHO and left the industry for 5 years: This was Sun dasa and we find Sun as being placed in 5th house of Mantra in D1 (which is 8th from 10th house) but being aspected by both 10th lord in the same dasa he came back to the industry. In D10 although being lord of Dasamsa lagna he is Dispositor of Rahu and placed with Digbala in the 4th house giving a clear indication of his fall from professional power.

1987 Back in movies: Sun dasa and Antardasa must be of Saturn for obvious reasons. As we said as the same Sun aspects 10^th house in D10 and are aspected by both 10^th lords in D1 it was sure to come back in movies. In Sun dasa of 9 years it was last part of dasa (1983-1983, 1983-1986, 1986-1989) and we find Sun in D10 to be in Head rising sign and the last effect must be of Sun himself and he being lord of Dasamsa lagan showed his colours and gave him entry again into the film industry. Where he worked till 2015 [last appeared] (as Wikipedia says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinod_Khanna ) see how a single planet gave the effect of both his results. Of course, this is the place where antardasa comes into play. We see Moon, Mars, Mercury and Jupiter antardasa was in this time when he was in Rajneeshpuram. Moon is lord of the 4th house although exalted in the 10th house he is in exchange. Mars is in the 8th house. Jupiter is debilitated in Artha Trikona and Mercury is the Dispositor of Maandi.

1999 & 2000 Filmfare Award: Mars dasa as being Yogakaraka from Dasamsa Lagna it was sure to come. But what about Mars being in the 8th house that we mentioned earlier. Use three divisions of dasa and find that in this Dasa from 1998 to 2007 first part is ruled by Jupiter who although being debilitated in 6th house is in trine to 10th house and gets Neech bhanga.  See effects of same Jupiter in Sun dasa where he gives Bhoga in 8th house and in Mars dasa where he gives Bhoga in 4th house a Kendra.  In 2000 it was Mars Jupiter itself. And between the three parts, it was the same first part. He also got awards in 2005 and 2007 in the last part of Dasa where results of Mars was given who being Raajyogkarak gave all this. See how only Pisces being a middle rising sign changed all the effects of Mars and Jupiter in the 8^th and 6^th house respectively.

Political Career

1997 Joined BJP and elected from Punjab in next year’s Poll: This was Moon dasa ending and he is exalted in 10^th house in D10 and in D1 he is in 9^th house aspected by 9^th lord. A benefic in 9^th is a big blessing as 9^th house is referred to as auspicious by Varahamahira. And start of Mars dasa who is in Vipreet Raj Yoga in D1 and Yogakaraka in D10. [Use Drig Dasa to find it is Cancer dasa 5^th from which in D1 is Venus and Ketu in own house. D9 it is having Venus and Yogda Rahu and 5^th therefrom is Mercury and in D3 5^th from cancer is Mars in own rasi]

1999 Elected again: This is again Mars-Mars and Cancer Drig Dasa

2002 Union Minister for Culture and Tourism, after 6 months came to Ministry of External Affairs and in 2004 won election again from Punjab: 2002 Venus dasa who is 10th lord in exchange with exalted Moon. 2004 Either Saturn or Rahu dasa whose prominence in professional matters we have seen earlier by one being Yogda and 10th lord exalted in 1st in D1 and another being directly related to 10th house in D1 and D10 both. In three-part of dasa 2002 was middle of dasa giving the effect of Sign Pisces which deposits Mars (in friendly sign- from Mool Trikona sign of Mars Pisces is friendly) and 2004 Falls under last part of dasa that gives the effect of Mars (Yogakaraka) all this happened in Mars Drig Dasa whose lord is another Yogda by aspecting D1 and D9 Lagna.

Lost 2009 General elections: it was Mercury Jupiter or Venus which in any case gives dasa Bhoga in 8^th house in D10.

In 2014 again elected from the same constituency: now Bhoga either we take it as Mercury-Sun or Mercury-Moon falls in 4^th house that is a Kendra in D10.

Personal Life

Met First wife “Geetanjali” in college and married in 1971: 7th lord from Venus in navamsa is Saturn who is placed in the 5th house from Lagna with Mercury (Karaka for education) and he is also lord of 7th house from Navamsa lagna shows how they met. Their marriage solemnized in that was Taurus Dasa in Drig Dasa (why I am not using Dwisaptati Sama is we don’t know marriage date and in 1971 July Dasa changes from Saturn to Rahu) we find Venus is in 7th from Taurus in D1 and in D9 Taurus is aspected by DK whereas D3 shows Mars in own Rashi in 7^th from dasa rasi.

Two children from first marriage: Rahul Khanna (20 June 1972) – Rahu-Rahu-Venus. Rahu aspects 5^th house from Lagna and Saptamsa Lagna. Venus by the exchange in D1 comes in contact with Mercury and in Saptamsa lord 7th house (main house of marriage from where children’s come in D7) Akshay Khanna (28 March 1975) – Rahu-Mars-Jupiter. Rahu we have already seen. Mars and Jupiter are with 5^th lord in Rashi and in Saptamsa Mars and Jupiter both aspects 5^th house [it is Taurus Drig Dasa which in D7 is having Venus in it and Moon and exalted Mars in 9^th from it – all benefics in Kona giving complete blessings.

Separation with wife in 1985 due to following OSHO and living away from family: it must be Sun-Jupiter both of them are in 6^th and 12^th axis in Navamsa. With Sun being lord of 2^nd house (maraka) from Navamsa lagna and Jupiter is 6^th lord in 6^th house. Jupiter signifies Gurus.

1990 after returning to India married “Kavita” and had a son “Sakshi” and daughter “Shraddha”: Moon dasa started who is in 9^th in Rashi chakra showing younger sister of wife and Marriage house as the house of Dharma (Dharma Patni) and in Navamsa he is in 2nd house (8th from the first house) that indicates 2nd wife. In D7 we find Jupiter in a male sign Sagittarius giving the first male child and then Venus in the female sign Taurus giving female progeny.

Disease – admitted to hospital on 2 April 2017: in matters of health and death one must use Vimshottari always and we find this to be Mercury-Jupiter-Jupiter both of them being in 6^th from Lagna. After suffering from Severe dehydration (we see the strongest there in the 6th house is Mars – strongest due to being in exchange) 3rd from Arudh Lagna is Saturn which shows death from disease. Being in watery sign and aspected by Ketu Rahu and Venus (Nodes show disease like Cancer – Bladder Cancer [as Wikipedia states] and bladder is represented by Venus. On 27th April 2017, he left this mortal world in the dasa of Mercury-Jupiter-Jupiter. Mercury is Maraka and Jupiter is the 8th lord and there is a statement by Parashara that if the 6th lord is afflicted person dies in the dasa of planets in the 6th house. We see Venus being afflicted by the Rahu-Ketu axis and exchanged by Mars.
