Ahmedabad, Feb 24: Mohan Patel, president of All India Astrologers Federation has predicted that Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi’s wishes for becoming the next Prime Minister may remain unfulfilled and the post may go to an old person or a woman.
This has led to speculations being rife about L K Advani and/or Sushma Swaraj among political circles.
Says Patel: “His (Modi) birth chart has Sun with Ketu which is a planet of thirst.
"Modi will keep waiting for the post of prime minister but he will not be the one,” said Patel at the two-day 70th National Seminar on Astrology here on Sunday.
"So far, there has not been any prime ministerial candidate who has been so desperate for the post. This only explains the effect of Ketu on him,” says Patel .
The astrologer says: "India’s astro chart has ‘Vrushabh’ (Taurus) lagna which is ruled by Shani (Saturn).
“Saturn favours old persons and women. So, the next prime minister will either be an old man or a woman. There is no chance of anyone else.”
Asked about Rahul Gandhi’s prospects of becoming Prime Minister, Patel said: "Rahul Gandhi too does not stand a chance.
"If someone pushes him to that post, he might end up the way his father Rajiv Gandhi ended up. He has a huge threat from terrorists if he becomes prime minister.”
The astrologers said, the months of April and May might create problems during elections.
“Sun and Saturn, being in opposite directions, will cause anxiety among people and the rulers", he said.
On this year’s monsoon, Patel said: “Rain will be good this year. Libra (Tula) will be in descending degree which will bring good rains.”
The astrologer said, prices of gold, silver will remain unstable, but the stock market will also be volatile till November 2014.
