Vijay Mallya, who once helmed prominent airlines and alcohol companies under the Kingfisher brand, was famously known as the "King of Good Times." His life was characterized by glamour, adventure, and luxury, but he also gained notoriety for alleged theft of billions and fleeing from the Indian government. While he claims to have returned by getting into the good graces of Indian ministers, let's ascertain the truth behind his mindset through an analysis of his horoscope.
Firstly, Mr.Mallya as an Aquarius ascendant, Mars in Libra activates the artha trikona (houses related to wealth), leading to a life of luxury and desires. Mars being aspected by Jupiter from Leo in the 7th house made his life exceedingly extravagant, truly embodying the "king" persona of Leo. The simultaneous aspect of Mars and Saturn on the 4th house provided him with numerous lands and buildings. However, the 4th lord sitting in the 12th house, and the 12th lord Saturn aspecting the 4th house, led to the loss of many of his assets, vehicles, and other luxuries. Saturn's restrictive influence prevented him from fully enjoying his possessions.
His 8th lord, Mercury, in the 11th house, along with the 7th lord and Saturn conjunct Rahu, suggests a disposition towards dishonesty, where much of his income and net worth were constantly questioned. The 8th lord in the 11th house with the Sun also indicates inherited wealth from his father, though both planets sitting in Moola Nakshatra brought misery. The 2nd and 11th lord, Jupiter, also in Magha Nakshatra (Ketu's constellation), with Ketu in the 4th house in Taurus, brought significant difficulties and karmic lessons related to material life and truthfulness.
The ascendant lord with Rahu in Jyestha Nakshatra in the 10th house, influencing the Midheaven, granted Vijay Mallya, unimaginable riches and abodes. However, it also made him cunning, eventually leading to his downfall and humiliation. The Moon, being the 6th lord, sitting in the 12th house with Venus, while the Sun is in Ketu's nakshatra, led to troubles with the government and a life of fear. As the Moon and Venus are inimical to each other, their placement in the 12th house and in Shravana Nakshatra suggests an abnormal mindset, a loss of clarity, and a tendency to act based on what feels right rather than what is objectively correct. The Saturn-Rahu conjunction signifies two opposing forces in his life – Saturn's contraction and Rahu's expansion – leading to a life of immense riches followed by a significant fall.
When he fled India in 2016, he was running the Saturn Mahadasha and Rahu Antardasha. When Saturn and Rahu are conjunct in the 10th house, as they are in Mallya's chart, suspicion is often raised against the individual during their dasha, regardless of their actions. This conjunction in the 10th house can incline a person towards thoughts of mischief, dishonesty, forgery, and cheating. Its placement in the Scorpio sign in Vijay Mallya's chart made him consider claiming assets that were not rightfully his. Thus, his horoscope indeed supports the government's claims; it suggests he is a ruthless individual, regardless of his current statements in podcasts. Astrology often reveals the underlying truth.
Vijay Mallya has recently returned to India, and his Mercury Mahadasha with Venus Antardasha will continue to be a period of failure and fear for him. He will incur further losses, humiliation, and ill-repute, as Venus, the 9th lord, sits in the 12th house while the Mahadasha of the 8th lord is active. Although he is attempting to return what he allegedly stole, he will experience the loss of every possession he was attached to. He remains the same person, lacking discernment between right and wrong, still trying to prove his innocence and that he was trapped by the government and attacked for something he didn't do. However, his horoscope analysis contradicts this. While Mercury Mahadasha (5th lord in 11th house) along with the 7th lord Sun will help him gain from partnerships, he will also face numerous obstacles on the road ahead.
