The youngest person on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet, Smriti Irani is a firebrand whose political career began when she joined BJP in 2003. Her career path is full of struggles, starting as a helping staff at Mc Donalds, to being successful in Television and now handling the HRD ministry! She wanted to become a journalist but better still journalists are behind her seeking time for an interview. Many people aspire to be successful but not all are successful although equal hard work is put up by many. So, what led to this phenomenal success, let us analyze her birth chart.

Smriti Irani born on 23rd March 1972, in Delhi at 12 noon with Gemini ascendant and in Punarvasu Nakshatra. If you see the chart above, Lagna is occupied with Moon which represents people and is aspected by a strong Jupiter (in its own house Sagittarius which is its Mool Trikon sign).  Jupiter is causing Hansa Raj Yoga here. Jupiter and Moon in Kendra also causing Gaja-Kesari Raj Yoga. Jupiter is generally treated bad in 7th house but ONLY if it’s house which are 2nd, 5th, 9th and 12th are occupied by its enemies which are Mercury, Venus and Rahu. Hence this Jupiter is not creating any obstruction. But still being an enemy of ascendant Lord Mercury, it will give problems gradually related to lungs, liver and even Obesity as Jupiter expands.

Lord of the Lagna Mercury is in the 10th house -Kendra, conjunct with Sun which represents government. This combination is in the 10th house which is the house of work and profession. Also, Sun achieves directional strength in 10th house [Digbali]. Thus, this combination made her successful in politics.

Another important yoga is the Parivartan yoga between Venus and Mars. Both are occupying each other’s sign – Venus is in Aries (ruled by Mars) and Mars is in Taurus (ruled by Venus). Thus, by virtue of this Parivartan yoga, Venus moves to 12th house and Mars comes to 11th house. Venus is particularly strong in the 12th house and Venus gave her success in glamour world (TV industry) as Venus represents art and creativity. Mars becomes strong in Aries and Mars is also ruler of 6th house (Scorpio sign). 6th house is the house of competition. Thus, Mars also helped in propelling her career amidst steep competition through its aspect on the 6th house.

Rahu in 8th house is not congenial as this house is the house of Mars but Rahu is silent in this chart due to the union of Saturn and Mars in the 12th house. Also, Ketu from 2nd house is giving good results because Jupiter is strongly placed in Kendra in Mool-Trikon sign. Ketu in 2nd house of speech gives her sharp speech and she can argue well and it makes her a good orator.

Her 17 years of Mercury Mahadasha got over on 25th July 2019. Now she is running 7 years of Ketu Mahadasha. Results of Ketu Mahadasha would depend on the placemen of Jupiter in the chart. If Jupiter is well placed results of Ketu Mahadasha are good. In her chart as described above Jupiter is well placed. This bodes very well for her career growth as Ketu aspects 10th house with its 9th aspect. During Antardasha of Moon which is from June 2021 to Jan 2022 she may face some health issues as Moon is placed 12th from Ketu. She would experience a major breakthrough in her career from Nov 2023 onwards when Jupiter transits through Aries.
