In Jaimini classical astrological works, some combinations are given to determine, who will become a King or Queen at a particular time. I am giving below some combinations from Jaimini Upadesa Sutras with few of my own observations to identify and time the change of Presidency in USA. I have taken few past USA Presidential election dates, taking Gochara planetary influences in conjunction with using Jaimini’s Chara Dasa. For the want of space, I am not going to write all the past Presidency Changes, but will take few handful of example charts and then finally evaluate the current Gochara (Oct/Nov 2019) to determine whether the current USA President Donald Trump will continue his term full or will there be a change of Presidency per the following Change of Presidency Principles.
Presidency Change Principles 1. The 10th house represents the ruling Party in general and the President or Prime Minister in Particular. 2. The influence of Gochara planets on the 10th Lord, the 4th house and 10th houses on a Country Chart December 2019

Vedas are vast. They can largely be understood to comprise of four vertical pillars or domains and six horizontal beams or tools. The four domains are Rig, Yajur, Atharva and Sama Veda. The six horizontal beams are called Vedangas or Limbs of Vedas and they are Shiksha, Chandas, Vyakarana, Niruktha, Kalpa and Jyothisha. If we compare to the Vedas to a human body, then the Vedas are the limbs of the Human body. In Vedic parlance, they are referred to as Veda Purusha and Vedanga. Vedas is compared to a Purusha and the Vedangas are compared to the limbs or organs of the Veda Purusha. Jyothisha or Vedic Astrology is given the highest place.

deterministic science. A lot of modern-day astrologers wrongly, arrogantly and foolishly say that every human being’s fate is already determined and there is nothing special he has to do to change the course of his fate. This is absolutely false!
The foundations of Vedic Astrology is built on the Purusha and Prakriti concept. Purusha means human being and Prakriti means nature. Imagine this - You are your body and mind for all practical purposes. Anything that’s inside your body is referred to as Purusha. Anything that’s outside the body is Prakriti or nature. As humans, our influence on nature is minimal or negligible. We don’t have absolute control over it. We cannot suddenly wake up one day and order the Sun to rise 30 minutes earlier. Nor can we cannot build rockets and bombs strong enough to change the course of the planets in the solar system. We cannot even influence the immediate small things that are in our vicinity like HeÀueeefve ie´n®eejsCe met®e³eeqvle ceveeref<eCeë~ fellow human beings, animals, keÀes JeÊeÀe leejlec³em³e leceskebÀ JesOemeb efJevee ? plants, weather, wind, etc. We cannot control nature.

Intuitive ability or Antarjnan is required for every intelligent work. Also especially for prediction, the Astrologer should have this Antarjnan/intuition .This means God’s Blessings on the native to predict in advance the event would happen. The combination of Guru + Surya is called as Jivatma Samyoga and this Yoga gives the native to know self. So this is the 1st and the foremost Yoga for predictive ability. The 2nd is the Kendra position between Surya and Guru which means Surya should be in 4th or 7th or 10th from Guru. Here Surya is Atma Karaka and Guru is Jeeva Karaka.
One thing must be borne in mind that the above planets must not be weak or afflicted by malefic planets. The most important factor is if Guru + Surya is in Akasha tattwa ( Meena Rashi ),the native will have miraculous predictive ability.Even Guru by retrogression aspects Meena Rashi,this miraculous predictive ability will be possessed by the Astrologer. Now let us try to analyse some famous Astrologers Charts for better understanding. 1) Dr.B.V.Raman, The famous Astrologer
The 3rd Sutra is the combination of Budha + Ketu for an excellent intuitive ability. If these planets are in Kendra to each other then the intuition power increases.
