The
Fate of Saddam Hussein
The
fate of
Saddam Hussein is a current hot topic worldwide as the trial against
him has been started on 19th of October 2005.
We
are
analyzing his fate and destiny according to Vedic Astrology.
The
birth
details of Saddam Hussein are read like this...
Born
in
Tikrit near Baghdad on 28th of April 1937 at 8.15 in the morning.
With
this
information in hand we had have to verify the events in the life of
Saddam Hussein.
As
not much authentic biographical material available on Saddam we have
to rely on what is available through western media which obviously is
coloured and biased.We believe that his date of birth is currect but
we are not as sure of his time of birth.

He
was born when Gemini Ascendant was rising at eastern horizon.The
dictator in him catches the eyes of an astrologer and this is
justified as his ascendant lord though a soft planet Mercury placed
in the 12th house at Rahu-Ketu axis and influenced by as many as six
planets namely Rahu,Ketu,Mars,Saturn,Moon and Jupiter.Four planet are
clearly malefic and making his a ruthless and cruel leader.Even Moon
and Jupiter are also helping in this cause as both are debilitated
and placed in 6th and 8th houses respectively.
The
five planets are on 6th/12th axis shows his character more loudly.He
has survived many battles in his life dramatically and nowadays
fighting a legal battle in the court.Will he survive this time is the
million dollar question and we are trying to find out a possible
answer with the help of Astrology.
Gemini
rising also shows his interest in his famous doubles.He is an enigma
and dillema at the same time.Reading his mind is quite tough task
even for an astrologer.Against his opponents he is ruthless and he
can crush them with all ease.
For
first six years of his life he was passing through the dasha of
Saturn that is placed in the 10th house associated with exalted venus
and aspected by debilitated Rahu. During these years he lost his
father even 5 months before his birth.His 12 year old brother also
died of cancer shortly afterward his father's death and before Saddam
was born.He had to suffer in hands of step father who used to beat
him cruely.He was born when Saturn-Mars was running and he was born
to a mother who was severely depressed as during pregnancy as she had
lost her husband and a son.He was born as an unwanted child as his
mother even tried to kill herself and abort the child.In these kind
of circumstanced a dictator was born who is a fighter to the core no
matter how strong the opposition is.Look at the position of
retrograde Mars with the debilitated moon, the karaka for mother.
In
the dasha of Saturn-Rahu he was sent to his maternal uncle and in
Saturn-Jupiter his mother remarried and he gained three half brothers
through this marriage.Look at the position of Jupiter, who placed 3rd
from Moon, the house of brothers and sisters.
In
the dasha of Mercury he returned to his maternal uncle and attended
nationalistic school and at 20 he joined the baa'th party.His
maternal uncle was the supporter of that party and his influence on
Saddam was very evident.
It
was a phase of varied kind of learning for Saddam. He was very vocal
and actively involved in party politics.This all can be very well
justified in the dasha of Mercury, who is his lagna lord and known
for media,publicity and intense networking.
Ketu's
dasha was running from 1960 to 1967, and it was very turbulent time
in the life of Saddam. threat of life loomed large on Saddam during
this dasha as always associated with Ketu. During the dasha of Ketu
Saddam took part in the attempted assassination of the then Prime
minister Qassim.He was shot in leg during that coup and had to flee
to Syria and later to Egypt. He was sentenced to death for taking
part in that coup.In exile in Egypt he studied Law at Cairo
University. Saddam returned to Iraq in 1964 but was arrested and
imprisoned.
All
those events in Ketu dasha made Saddam tough and mature as a
political figure.
He
escaped from jail in 1967 when he had entered into the dasha of Venus
placed in his 10th house of power and position. Within a
year of time when baa'thist returned to power he became vice
president of Iraq.His success story started from here onwards.During
the Venus dasha he was appointed the general of Iraqi army in
1967.His power was increasing day by day and he formally came to
power in 1979.In this dasha he became the most ruthless ruler of his
times. In the fits of ego and power he involved in Iran-Iraq war. One
can easily see why the second half of Venus dasha was bad for him but
still he managed to survive and continue to rule the nation. But he
caused the immense destruction of human lives and as well as of
wealth during the second half of Venus.This can be justified by the
position of Mercury and Ketu in Taurus which is severely afflicted by
Mars,Rahu and Saturn and also by Jupiter.
In
the Dasha of Sun which was placed exalted in the 11th
house of gains and supremacy he invaded Kuwait. As the Sun is exalted
but hemmed in between malefics he miscalcuated his power and moves
and lost the war against U.S. And it's allies.This all happened in
the dasha of Sun.
His
Moon dasha has been running since 1993 to next 10 years. This was one
of the worst phase in his life as Moon is placed in 6th
house,the house of enemies and problems.He was suffering humiliation
in the hands of U.S and it's allies.The only good thing was that he
managed to survive his presidency of Iraq. In the fag end of this
dasha he was again attacked by U.S. and allies for allegedly
possessing weapons of mass destruction.
Though
nothing horrible as WMD''s was found in Iraq, U.S. And it' allies
were successful in dethroning and humiliating him. For the ruler of
any kind this is nothing else but a kind of death. This all has been
happening as his Mars dasha has been started in early 2003 and this
time he had to relinquish his throne and had to flee and hide at
unknown locations.He was captured after few months on 14th
December 2003.Still he is in the dasha of Mars and the task before us
is to analyze his future in this dasha.The question looming large
whether he will survive or will he be sentenced to death by the
court.
Being
a worst malefic for Gemini Ascendant Mars is entitled to produce
worst kind of suffering, humiliation and death like situations which
Mars is giving since it's beginning in early 2003.I wish to present
here a similar kind of horoscope. This is the horoscope of Z. A.
Bhutto,the former Prime Minister of Pakistan who was executed for
murder charges, quite similar to Saddam Hussein who also has been
facing trial for murder charges.

Quite
interestingly this horoscope also has Gemini Ascendant and Mars in
6th house. Rahu-Ketu axis also running through the 6th
/12th house.He was executed for murder in 1979 when he
was passing through the dasha of Saturn-Mars. In Bhutto's case Saturn
was badly placed then Saddam Hussein. Saddam Hussein is passing
through the dasha of Mars-Saturn, but his Mars is strongly placed
then Z. A. Bhutto.I sincerely argue here that he has better chances
of surviving death then Bhutto. Though whole of mars dasha slated to
give him suffering,humiliation and death like situations he still
can manage to survive execution, unlike Bhutto. Look at the horoscope
of Bhutto where Mars was afflicted by Saturn and Ketu and Saturn was
reducing his longevity by being 8th lord and placed with
Mars and Ketu in an inimical sign, wherein the case of Saddam Mars
is quite strongly placed and his Saturn is placed in 10th
house giving him lot longer life then Bhutto.

We
also intend to analyze the horoscope when the trial began. Scorpio
rising in Baghdad at the time of trial. The Lagna lord though placed
in 6th house in his own house with 9th lord
Moon but aspected by Sun,Jupiter,and Mercury and also his worst enemy
Saturn. This seems to be a win win situation for Mars and despite
tough legal battle ahead Mars (in this case Saddam) may survive this
time also.The association of Mars with Moon is showing that fate is
on Saddam's side and helping him in the longer run.Saddam here is
represented by Ascendant and 6th house and his enemies are
represented by 7th house and 12th (6th
from 7th ) house.If we examine the strength of both the
sides,balance again hangs in the favour of the former Iraqi
President.Though the ascendant is weak as a benefic planet Venus is
there,making Saddam a soft target,but retrograde Mars and Moon
adding strength to Saddam and preparing him to a longer and tough
battle.The 7th house is empty and showing the emptiness of
principles on his enemies part,though here again the 12th
house(6th from 7th ) has Sun,Jupiter and
Mercury showing Saddam's enemies inabilitiy to use Law as their
weapon.What they are considering their weapon may prove out to be
their handicappedness.
I
have also made a comprehensive study of Kot Chakras for Saddam
Hussein.I have prepared three Kot chakras for Saddam for three
different timings. These are based on three timing of Gulf War-I
,Gulf War-II, and the Trial of Saddam .I must add here that I again
find him to elude the death through execution.
Saddam
has been eluding death for many years. He may also elude execution
this time. Let the God decide what is right for Saddam Hussein.
