George W. Bush — Natal Dasha Analysis & Political Power
George W. Bush natal chart: Dwi-Saptati Sama Dasha applies (LL Moon in 7H). Jupiter Dasha (April 2000–2009) — Gajakesari Yoga (Moon+Jupiter within 1.5°) gave the presidency. Jupiter in Marana Karaka Sthana (3H) = spreading dharma through aggression (war). Charakaraka analysis: AK Venus + GK Saturn in trines = natural enmity from soul level. Political party karakas: Saturn = Democrats, Jupiter+Mars = Republicans.
"For political success, the 10th house of career and 5th house of mass following are to be judged."
— P.V.R. Narasimha Rao

Bush Natal Chart — Dasha Analysis
Applicable Dasha
- LL Moon in 7th house → Dwi-Saptati Sama Dasha (72-year cycle) applies
- Jupiter Dasha: April 2000 to April 2009
Why Jupiter Dasha Gave Presidency
- Gajakesari Yoga: Moon (LL) + Jupiter (9L) within 1.5° — very strong
- Moon at 23°38', Jupiter at 25°2' — extremely close
- This yoga = lasting fame; person will be remembered decades after death
- Raj Yoga: Moon = kendra lord (LL, 4L), Jupiter = kona lord (9L) → both together
- Peak of Jupiter Dasha: Jupiter-Moon antardasha ~2006 — when he does something for which he'll be remembered in history
Jupiter in Marana Karaka Sthana (3rd House)
- Jupiter is 9th lord in 3rd house = awkward placement (3H is house of arms/aggression; Jupiter is peaceful)
- But he WILL follow his dharma — just in an unnatural, aggressive way (spreading Jupiter/Pisces ideals through arms)
- D-60 (Shashtiamsa): Jupiter in Vahni amsha (fire) = fiery approach to spreading dharma
Charakaraka Analysis for Enemies
- Atmakaraka = Venus (soul of native)
- Putrakaraka = Mars (souls of followers/supporters)
- Gnatikaraka = Rahu (souls of enemies); but Rahu replaced by Saturn at natural age
- Replacement: when two planets are at same degree, the leading one holds the karaka; later the trailing one replaces the leading one; a big personality change occurs at that time
- AK (Venus) and replaced GK (Saturn) in trines → enmity is natural, effortless, comes from the soul level
Chara Karaka Relationship Rules
- Trines (1-5-9): Natural harmony; cooperation happens effortlessly
- Quadrants (1-4-7-10): Good cooperation but requires effort
- Shadashthaka (6-8 relationship) or 2-12: No alignment; cannot work well together; inimical at soul level
- Soulmates = AK + DK in trines in Navamsa = natural soul-level harmony
Political Party Karakas (Mundane Astrology)
| Planet | Party | Color | Symbol |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saturn | Democrats | Blue | Donkey |
| Jupiter + Mars | Republicans | Red | Elephant |
- Saturn = labor, blue-collar, liberals, low-income groups
- Jupiter = conservative, Sattvic, religious values; Mars = big money, power, military
Tithi Pravesha (TP) Chart Analysis
Rules for TP Chart
- Identify the Hora Lord (year ruler) — see which Raj Yogas he forms
- If Hora lord is in a Raj Yoga → that Raj Yoga will definitely fructify during the year
- If only lagna lord is in a Raj Yoga → it may fructify (less certain)
- If both Hora lord and LL are in the Raj Yoga → almost certain to fructify
- Yogada in TP chart (planet associating with LL and GL) = planet that ensures retention of power
Bush's 2004 TP (D-10 Dasamsa)
- Hora lord = Mercury (LL in 7th, samskaptaka with Venus 5th lord) = Raj Yoga in D-10
- Moon in GL + Rasi aspect on lagna = Yogada; shows power retained despite ups and downs
- Moon = 8th lord in 10th = roller coaster karma; setback then recovery
- Mercury dasha = also Yogada + bhadakesha → Raj Yoga confirmed but also political nuisances (Mercury with Sun + Saturn = clashing ideologies)
- Rasi chart = physical existence; Dasamsa = environment of karma (advisors, media, political forces)
