Mundane 2009: Iran = Some Flexibility + Govt Change Possible; Iraq = Weak Govt + Foreign Investment; North Korea = Deep Gandanta Lagna + Worst Navamsha + Fatal Misjudgment; India = Hung Parliament Predicted
Iran (Tehran 2009; Virgo 29° lagna): Amavasya Yoga on 7H+8H lords (Venus+Mercury) = Maraka combination; "some evil possible"; Navamsha: exalted Mercury in lagna = diplomatic flexibility; D10 opposition stronger than government = "possible election resulting in change of leadership." PVNR: "No major concern with Iran; some flexibility toward reconciliation." Iraq (Baghdad 2009; Virgo 23°; Saturn as Hora lord): D10 lagna lord Jupiter in 6H = weak government; 10H lord Mercury with 3L Rahu = "government and opposition must work together"; D30: debilitated Jupiter in lagna = "misplaced boldness; Iraq may take brave actions without good information." PVNR: "Iraq continues to struggle but foreign investment improving." North Korea (Pyongyang 2009; Scorpio 29°31' = deep Gandanta): "Lagna in deep Gandanta = terrible year for the country." Amavasya Yoga on 7L+8L in 9H = "country runs out of fortune; Purvapunya gone during this year"; 5H (national judgment) badly afflicted; Jupiter debilitated with Rahu + in Mankarkasthana = "totally beaten down"; D9 8H = "worst Navamsha of all countries seen." PVNR: "North Korea will engage in foolish actions, ruin foreign relations. Fatal misjudgments. Year of major concern." India (New Delhi 2009; Libra 22°; Mars as Hora lord = 7L of foreign relations): 10H lord Moon = Amavasya + Bhadha lord + 8L = "ruling party restricted"; 3L Jupiter (opposition) debilitated with Rahu = "opposition also weak; neither looks great"; D10: 8L Jupiter in lagna = "big change in politics." PVNR prediction: "Hung parliament; coalition restructuring likely; Congress suffers; BJP does slightly better than polls suggest; messy elections."
"North Korea has its lagna in deep Gandanta — the junction of water and fire signs. That is terrible for the country. Lagna in Gandanta means major instability. And the Amavasya Yoga falls on the 7th and 8th lords — Maraka combination combined with Amavasya yoga. There could be something fatal for the leadership. And the Navamsha is the worst I have seen among all countries. Fatal misjudgments are coming."

Lagna: Virgo 29°11'
Key Points
- Amavasya Yoga falling on 7th and 8th lords (Venus + Mercury): "7th and 8th lords = Maraka combination + Amavasya = some evil is possible"
- 7th lord Jupiter: debilitated with 6th lord Rahu → "7th and 6th lords together = relationships damaged"
- Navamsha positive: exalted Mercury in lagna = "flexible, diplomatic attitude"; 7th lord Jupiter in 12th but friendly sign = "7th lord in Bhavakeshwara position not terrible"
- Mars in 6th of Navamsha (8th lord) → Viparita Rajayoga type; no big war
Dashamsha (Government)
- 10th lord Mercury: debilitated in D10
- Opposition (3rd lord): in 6th house = stronger than government
- "Possibility of election resulting in change of government or at least change of leadership; opposition slightly stronger"
- Multiple planets in 10th = "broad-based, multi-influence government; not one strong man controlling everything"
PVNR's Assessment
— PVNR"There doesn't seem to be a major concern with Iran this year. Some flexibility toward reconciliation. Government may change or become more diffuse in power."
