Smriti Irani will shine in 2018

Smriti Irani, Textiles Minister and the Minister of Information and Broadcasting, has come a long way from being a model, favourite TV actress and producer. And the 41-year-old still has a long way to go — rather a ladder to climb. Even political circles believe that Smriti is in the good books of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and may rise to higher ranks in the years to come. Interestingly, a detailed analysis of the power politico’s horoscope also points at similar predictions.

Rajyog and strong opinions 

Smriti has a strong Venus-Mercury conjunction in her tenth house which signifies rajyog. This makes her charming, tactful and poetic in her expression and she usually holds very strong views on various subjects. This quality has made her an admirer of arts and also ensured a successful acting career.

Venus and Smriti’s rise 

Besides, Venus is also vargottama which has made her a prominent woman leader. She enjoys public speaking and performing in the dramatic arts. She has been able to assert her personality in various areas and the planets in her horoscope are behind her proactive traits.

Mars’ firm resolve

Smriti’s Mars is in the second house in the sign of Mercury, making her an eloquent orator. At the same time, it influences her to be aggressive while discussing matters or others may not be able to understand in one go what she tries to say. This may also make people accuse her of holding double standards.

Being resourceful 

The lord of the tenth house, Saturn, is retrograde in the third house which makes her ambitious and enterprising. It gives her the ability to stand firm against various odds and obstacles. At the same time, retrograde Saturn also represents a difficult path. But Sun in the eleventh house gives her the gift of being socially and politically influential, and Smriti also knows how to use these contacts in the best manner.

A limiting effect

Smriti is currently under the influence of Mars mahadasha and Moon bhukti. Moon is placed in the eighth house. Besides, she is under the influence of Saturn’s sade sati, which can be a distressing and struggle-ridden time full of delays and disappointments. Thus, in spite of being a very popular leader, she is currently facing problems in making the desired impact.

The 2018 stage is hers!

However, the forthcoming mahadasha of Rahu starting March 4, 2018 indicates that she will make her presence felt as a cabinet minister. Smriti will enjoy very good clout in the party as well. Her political career will get a boost during the latter half of 2018. Saturn’s transit through Sagittarius will be a defining phase for her political career. Though her political career will rise, Smriti may also face sudden and unexpected problems which may be detrimental to her growth.
