Astrological Analysis
- In the Horoscope of independent India, Sun is in the Moon Sign Cancer, and the transiting Sun is passing through the 10th House in the Moon Sign Aquarius and in the Satatarka constellation. Such planetary positions indicate that the Finance Minister may take some harsh decisions regarding the gold policy, public sector units (PSUs), GDP growth rate, taxation, income tax and sales tax.
- The 5th House represents the mutual funds, speculators, brokerage houses/ companies, education sector and universities. Besides, the Natal Moon is posited in Cancer, and on the day of the Union Budget, Moon will be passing through the Virgo Sign, in the 5th House. As a result, the aforementioned sectors may get a favourable treatment in the upcoming Union Budget.
- The transiting Mars forms a conjunction with Mercury, Sun and Venus in the 10th House. Resultantly, the Judiciary, Armed Forces and other major authority bodies may be given more power and authority in the Union Budget.
- Mercury, the Lord of the 2nd House in the Horoscope Chart, is in a retrograde motion and, as mentioned earlier, is transiting through the 10th House. Because of this particular planetary alignment, it is likely that the Export-Import industry, Foreign Trade, National Saving Schemes, Currency, RBI policies and Rural Development Programmes will neither be at a loss nor at any benefit in the Union Budget 2013-2014. Some relief in the Insurance sector may be expected, though.
- Jupiter will transiting through the Moon Sign Taurus, the Ascendant in India’s Kundali, over the House of the Natal Rahu. As a result, it is possible that there will be some expected benefits in store for the stock exchanges, government loans, bonds andgovernment securities. However, sandalwood, gold, diamond jewellery and perfumes may become more expensive. In general, education, however, can be expected to get more affordable. This may not apply to higher education, though.
- Venus, the Lord of India’s Ascendant Sign as well as the 6th House, will be transiting through the 10th House. Therefore, businesses related to Textiles, Butter, Milk, Betel- Nuts, Liquid Medicine, Land Development and Liquor may remain in focus. Along with these, Health-related Programmes, Army, Air-force, Civil Services, Medical Services and Labour Services may also get some benefits.
- A stellium of four major planets – Sun, Mercury, Mars and Venus – is happening in the 10th House, the House of Government and Government Policies. The planetary forces may make the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister take into account the growth rate, inflation and the entire economy while preparing the Union Budget. But despite all the efforts, they may not be appreciated for the Budget.
- The Finance Minister may also consider tax accumulation, revenue deficit, fixed deposits and foreign direct investment flow, while preparing the Union Budget. It is likely that the policies related to these matters may go through some drastic changes, causing some sort of panic. Nevertheless, the Finance Minister will definitely try to play safe and make efforts to maintain the growth rate.
- At present, India is under the influence of Sun Mahadasha, Saturn Antardasha and Chandra Pratiantardasha. Here, Sun is Sukhesh, therefore, sectors such as Agriculture, Infrastructure, Auto-mobile, Petroleum Products, Dairy Products and Silver Products may be in focus.
- In the Horoscope Chart of the independent India, Moon is the Lord of the 3rd House. Therefore, the Chandra Pratiantardasha may keep sectors like Transportation, Telecommunication and Railway Stock as well as Courier Companies in focus.
The Auto-mobile sector may not get any direct and favourable influence of the Budget. However, the Finance Minister may try and introduce some positive movements, foresees Ganesha. The future of the Auto-mobile sector overall looks set to be promising, though.

Moreover, companies related to broadcasting are also likely to get benefited by such a planetary position. Ganesha foresees that the Finance Minister is likely to implements new policies for new television channels. The growth in this industry is likely to be more quantitative than qualitative. While forming the policies for this sector, revenue generation in the main Indian languages, circulation income, printing cost, and average cost are also likely to be considered, foretells Ganesha.

- 3G and BWA roll out
- Rural penetration
- MNP
- Spectrum management and licence terms and conditions
- Re verification of mobile subscribers

Therefore, if we look at the Telecom sector with a long-term perspective, the condition looks favourable.
