Good times ahead for Deepika Padukone

Bollywood’s golden girl Deepika Padukone was recently in the news for coming into the open about battling clinical depression.We take a look at her solar horoscope to predict what the future holds for her.

Though Deepika’s exact time of birth is unavailable, meticulous calculations of her birthdate and place reveal that her natal Moon is posited in Libra.

Astrologically, Moon signifies mind. Given the fact that Deepika is born with a Libra Moon, she is likely to be naturally balanced and affectionate. However, in her birth chart, her natal Moon is afflicted by Ketu (South Node). This adverse placement is strongly malefic in Deepkia’s chart, and indicates mental and emotional disturbances. Ketu is a planet that signifies detachment, emptiness, losses and its combination with Moon in Deepika’s chart is likely to lead to a feeling of emotional emptiness.

Further, the Moon and Mars in the same sign create a positive Laxmi Yoga in the actress’ chart, Mars, “the catalyst”, also leads to mental unrest and restlessness, because it is in conjunction with her Moon.Also, currently, she is undergoing her last phase of Saturn’s Seven and Half Years’ (Shani/Sade Sati) period. This phase often manifests itself in the form of low feelings and depression which has been the case here.

The good news is that a big part of her battle is already over and now she may just be in the “getting over” and “realigning” mode. Deepika shall recover, to a great extent, from her current mental state, post- January 2017 when the transiting Saturn leaves Scorpio.

Jupiter’s ongoing transit through Cancer till mid-July 2015 is not likely to be very fruitful for Deepika. However, post July 15, 2015, when Jupiter moves to Leo, things shall get better for her, specifically between July 2015 and August 2016 when the transiting Jupiter shall aspect her natal Sun, Venus and Mercury in Sagittarius. This will be the time when Deepika will rise and shine once again.

Ranveer is born with Mars in Gemini. Deepika’s Venus is in Sagittarius. Venus signifies love and Mars is the catalyst. In this case this opposition is the factor that attracts. Moreover, Sun to Sun opposition in the duo’s individual horoscopes also indicates a strong attraction. However, it also may be a stressful relationship, mainly due to the strong opposition aspect that gets created between their planets. It may take quite some time for both of them to understand each other’s needs in love.
