Amit Shah needs to play his A-game for UP elections

If someone deserved the Man of the Series Award for the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections, it was the strongman from Gujarat, Amit Shah.

Given the political and strategic importance of Uttar Pradesh, PM Narendra Modi himself chose to represent one of the seats in the state and sent his best man to win it for him. Amit Shah led from the front to bag an unprecedented 73 out of 80 seats in the state.

Following his incredible performance, Amit Shah was made BJP President.

For the upcoming Assembly election in Uttar Pradesh, Shah wants to tap the controversies surrounding the incumbent Samajwadi Party and replicate the Lok Sabha victory. The shrewd politician seems to have begun playing his cards already and after the results of the Bihar elections, it is very critical for the BJP President to bring his A-game for the UP elections in 2017. What makes him such a successful leader Shah is born with Virgo Ascendant and Mercury happens to be the Lord of the Ascendant as well as the 10th House. Thus, we can say he is a “Mercury-powered personality”. No wonder he possesses such strategical, analytical and political prowess.

Some of the natural characteristics of Virgo Ascendant individuals are their intelligence backed with an abundance of logical aptitude, attention to detail and excellent analytical skills. Additionally, Amit Shah has Mercury placed in conjunction with the Sun in the second House of Speech; forming the Budh-Aaditya Yoga in the sign of partnerships-Libra, ruled by Venus.

Also, the placement of Rahu in the 10th House makes him an excellent strategist, with the ability to devise unconventional plans and methods.

Saturn, placed in the 6th House, and that too in its own sign, renders extraordinary powers to triumph over rivals and competitors. Will Shah be able to fire on all cylinders in the UP polls The natural signifier of the 9th House of Fortune will move from the 12th House to the Ascendant in August 2016 and begin a period of 13 months of luck and prosperity. The period from August 2016 to October 2018 could be very comfortable and promising for desired success in all of his endeavours.

Jupiter — the natural signifier of fortune and expansion, will move into Amit Shah’s Ascendant, and this will give him the required boost to bring the best ideas to the table and to achieve the desired results. He will be able to ensure that the mistakes of Delhi and Bihar do not haunt the party again.

However, the adverse influence of the Ketu transit over the Natal Saturn (retrograde) through the 6th house shows difficulties and challenges from his own party members.

But, special care and attention is required from unknown or hidden enemies. Also, there are some chances of some sensational statements being made by Shah often post August 2016, which may spice things up a bit in the Hindi heartland.

With respect to the UP State Elections, in his role as the BJP president, he will be at his very best. He will be appreciated for his stellar efforts and the chances of him to bring favourable results for the party are very high.
