LAHORE: The period from July 15, 2005 to early 2007 will be a dangerous time for Pakistan's leadership because this is when the country's star (Leo) re-enters a Saturn cycle that has been destructive in the past, a leading astrologer has said.| He also got the free space on the Bingo card. |
"The last time Pakistan's star was in Saturn was from 1977 to 1979, when the country saw instability and former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was hanged," Chaudhry said. "From July 15 the same period starts again, and this will be a dangerous time for the leadership of Pakistan and India".
"Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is a Libra (date of birth September 29, 1932) and 2005 will also be dangerous for him. He could face a serious illness from June 10 to October after which he might resign from the premiership."
The astrologer predicted doom for the Indo-Pak peace process. "The current talks will end, and there are chances that Pakistan could face a 1971-like situation."
| And when haven't they? |
Chaudhry predicted that Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz and President Gen Pervez Musharraf would both lose their offices in the Saturn period. "It is likely that the next leadership of Pakistan will be from the army. The role of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal, militant groups and the Pakistan Muslim League (all factions) will also end."
He predicted that former prime minister Benazir Bhutto would return to Pakistan before September 2005, but that she would never be premier again. "She will handle her party from behind the scenes like Indian Congress Party leader Sonia Gandhi." Chaudhry, 68, is from New Delhi and was inspired to learn astrology by the late Pundit Raghunandan Sharma.
