Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan

My analysis of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's horoscope. I am not an astrologer. Not an expert by any stretch of imagination. Astrology is a hobby.
For whatever is correct in the analysis, I give full credit to my guru, Milindji (www.astromnc.blogspot.com) Whatever is wrong is all my fault :)

Here It goes.

1. 1994 Miss world title
Guru in Libra over her Sun, Shani in kumbha. 3rd to her moon. The whole miss world thing got her a lot of travels. Plus fame and gains 11th Guru. Moon is in Saggi plus venus is also there. So, guru was 11th not only from moon, but from Venus also, that too in Libra, Venus's own rashi. Over the Sun.
She had Moon-Saturn antardasha. Saturn in 10th in Gemini, Navamansh saturn also in 1oth in makar is sure good. It gives her the ability to work towards her goal at a well-measured, steady pace. Her next saturn antardasha was 2002-2003. (Devdas comes to mind as her grand work during this period.)

2. Next big success for her, directly 1999. HDDCS released in june. Shani and Guru BOTH in Aries. 5th to her moon and venus! Success, awards and ROMANCE :)

At the same time, Aries is 8th from Lagna. Got her into the very famous relationship with Salman, which started well, but took a bad turn later!!

3. 2001-2003 was tough and downhill. 2002 was fine with Devdas released. Guru in Gemini aspecting moon and venus. Along with Shani. Then in 2003, Infamous breakup with Salman, alleged affair with Vivek. Supposedly pushed him to do the infamous press conference. Saturn in Taurus (6th) and then Gemini over her natal saturn, in 10th house, 7th from moon. Guru 8th and powerless. not good for partnerships. Aspecting moon and venus in 4th house.

4.2003 end with shani still in gemini, Guru went 9th in Leo. In 2004, came Bride and Prejudice. Her first international venture.

5. 2004-2006, Ashtam Shani was somehow balanced due to 9,10,11 Guru. She got some good prjects like Raincoat, Shabd, Umrao Jaan. Most different and meaningful work she has ever done. Guru got her all this work, but critical acclaim was withheld. At least from the general public. That was Ashtam Shani making its presence felt. 11th Guru (again passing on her chart sun. Ego boosting.) towards the end of Ashtam shani was when she started dating Abhishek Bachchan.

6. Apr 2007, her wedding. Guru was by this time in Scorpio. 12th to her moon and Venus. Shani was retrogading in Cancer. Ashtam. Its imperative for me to say that this was a very calculated move. I am not a big fan of her, but I would not bash someone just for the sake of it. Guru in Scorpio passing over her Mercury. I would say, Scorpio Mercury is deadlier than Scorpio Moon or Sun. PLus in her case, this mercury has Mars aspect. Manipulation comes naturally to these people. And Guru passing over this Mercury at the time of wedding makes me think this was more a calculated move. Of course, nothing wrong in thinking practically before marrying someone.

7. Now as for the current peiod, Shani in Kanya is 10th to moon. Abhi-Ash has become a brand. May be over-rated. But a brand alright. In fact, Shani went 9th in Jul 2007 immediately after her wedding. Since then she is on a roller coaster ride of fame. Rated one of the top actresses in Bollywood.(justified or not! anyway, top actress is measured by the money they earn rather than acting abilities.) Bachchan last name has only added to the charisma. International face of bollywood. Appearing on Oprah, Martha Stewart etc. Pink Panther 2. Now! here I am not talking about talent as actress. But hey! it does not matter to her as long she is getting good money, fame, and media attention! This kind of frenzy for Aish was absent/ not very noticeable after 2000 (5th Guru). 9th Guru in 2004 got her good projects, but shani was holding back Ego-boosting attention. It came only when Shani entered Leo in Jul 2007.

8. Jun 2011- May 2012 would be another rocking period. We might very well see another HDDCS kind of performance. That time both shani-guru were 5th, This time Shani is 10-11 and Guru is 5th. Though this time possibly she might not get as many awards. Libra Shani will make sure of that.

9. Shani will be in Libra from Dec 2011. After Guru leaves Aries in May 2012, things would gradually get a little tough. Shani is Libra is good for her, 11th from Moon. There would be gains, yes. But it will pass over her Sun, and that would be a tough period socially. Not good for ego. All the Abhi-ash frenzy would slowly come down in 2012-13 and wrap up by 2014. Thats when her sadesati starts. Shani in Scorpio also passing over Mercury. No more manipulations would be possible for her. Whether its people, career, public appearances. Her PR would not do the good job that its doing today. Hype would be termed as hype and not accepted blindly by public. By the time she emerges from sadesati, it would be 2021. After that, she would play roles like what Jaya Bachchan, Hema Malini etc. play now. She would be 48 then.
Her career would pretty much be wrapped up by 2014. It makes sense for her to hold on to the family, husband and motherhood when it happens.

10. As for the manglik question lot of people have, the answer is yes. Assuming her birth details I have are right, she sure is Manglik. I don't think its a big issue though, because she married at 34. Late marriage was good for her. The issue here, more than manglik is condition of Venus. It is in mool nakshatra. Plus the 7th lord Jupiter is deb in 5th house. This sure spells trouble for married life. Not necessarily divorce, but difficult married life. deb Guru in 5th house, and the strong Aries Mars is 5th from Moon. These can cause problems with having children. her best chance is when Guru is in Aries in Jun 2011- May 2012.

11. Lastly, Does her chart show acting abilities? IMO No! Venus is not in a good condition, in mool nakshatra. Close to Rahu. 2nd house Libra has the blazing Sun.
Taurus has the Mercury aspect. Its more about PR for her. She is a smart smart woman. She knows how to communicate effectively and use her good looks. Note that She has never said anything remotely controversial when Salman-Vivek-Rani have been burning up the gossip columns. Thats the shrewdness Scorpio Mercury gives you. That too in the 3rd house of communication. 5th house which governs creativity has deb Jupiter. Capricorn sign is far from creativity, but is very ambitious and good for success which is planned, calculated.
