This is the horoscope of Sonam Raghuvanshi, the 25-year-old woman from Indore, India, accused of orchestrating the murder of her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi, during their honeymoon in Meghalaya in May 2025.
I saw this horoscope being discussed on TV News show....
NOTE-1:
The main purpose for writing this article is to analyse Sonam’s horoscope for
educational purpose only, to understand what must have been going on in her
mind that she took this ghastly step.
NOTE-2: I
this article I am analysing her horoscope from the perspective of understanding
her in the light of Raja Raghuvanshi case. So, I am analysing every YOGA from
that perspective only. For example, Mercury + Venus Yoga in her horoscope
can be seen as the yoga between 5th L Venus + 9th L
Mercury or yoga between 10th L Venus + 9th L
Mercury which are raja-yogas and yogas for gaining name and fame [interestingly
she has gained lots of name and fame, although for a wrong reason]. But here I
will see Mercury + Venus yoga as 5th L Venus + 6th
L Mercury, which can give negative results.
===============
She is Capricorn Lagna.
Her Lagna Lord Saturn is placed in the 5th
H/Taurus. She is an intelligent girl belonging to a good family. Among many
other things, 5th H is the house of love and romance also. So, we
can say, she is highly driven by love and romance because her Lagna Lord Saturn
is placed in the 5th H.
Yes, her Lagna Lord, Saturn is placed in the sign of
Taurus. So, along with exhibiting other traits of Taurus, she can also be a
very stubborn person [Taurus = bull].
Being driven by love and romance is not a bad thing. But
the problem is that in her horoscope the 5th H ruler Venus is placed
in the 8th H with 6th L Mercury and 8th L Sun.
5th L Venus’ placement in the 8th H can get her into
secretive love affair. It can also give her some kind of unconventional (or
even taboo) love affair. And she can be motivated to do wrong
things and undergo through chaotic transformations in her life (5th
L Venus forming yoga with 6th L Mercury and 8th L Sun)
under the influence of love or romantic partner.
Mercury can act very cunning here because Rahu is placed
in Gemini/6th H in her horoscope. And Mercury is also that planet which
causes debilitation of Venus. So, this 6th L Mercury forming yoga
with 5th L Venus made her capable of secretive planning and plotting
to orchestrate this ghastly act.
NOTE-3: people with 6th L + 5th L yoga may also fall in love with someone of a lower social class. 6th H is also the house of servant.
NOTE-4: Very strong 8th H in her horoscope can make her very secretive. She may also have interest in all kinds of occult vidya.
Saturn is also conjunct with Jupiter in the 5th
H/Taurus. Jupiter is even seeing the 1st H also. Normally we will
consider Jupiter associating with Lagna Lord to be a good yoga. However, we
should consider the following factors related to Jupiter in this horoscope when
evaluating how it will influence her through its conjunction with her Lagna
Lord, Saturn:
· For
Capricorn Lagna people, Jupiter is a functional malefic planet.
· Jupiter
rules the 3rd H and 12th H and Jupiter even considers
Capricorn to be his sign of debilitation.
· Jupiter
feels “low” in Taurus also, as Taurus too is an earthy sign like Capricorn… and
worst part is that Taurus is a fixed sign (rigid environment).
· Jupiter
rules the 12th H where Ketu, Gulika/Mandi are sitting
in this horoscope. 12th H is very negatively afflicted due to
Gulika/Mandi sitting with Ketu in the 12th H. So, Jupiter being the
ruler of the 12th H becomes even more negative.
So,
Jupiter is not a very good planet for her. And therefore Jupiter + Saturn
yoga may also give her bad results in life. She may get wrong guidance from
someone she respects and adores (negative Jupiter), and her own wisdom may become
very corrupted.
NOTE-5: The
reader should keep in mind that among many other things, 12th H also
represents prison… and also lonely remote far-away place (e.g.
Meghalaya). So, one of Jupiter’s agendas could also be to lead her
to long imprisonment. This Jupiter is sitting with her Lagna Lord, so we can
understand what astrological motivations are working in her horoscope, that she
decided to go to a lonely remote place in Meghalaya to kill her husband.
Mars is placed in the 7th H/Cancer in Ashlesha
nakshatra. 7th L Moon is placed in the 4th H/Aries in
Ashwini nakshatra. Mars in the 7th H gives her mangalika dosha. Mars
is debilitated in Cancer sign in the 7th H, but Mars is also
involved in exchange yoga with Moon. Exchange yoga gives good results. So, she
married a good boy (Raja) from a good family.
But Mars is placed in Ashlesha nakshatra
which is considered among the challenging nakshatras. Ashlesha is represented
by a coiled serpent that gives a sharp, calculating mind. An Ashlesha active individuals
may excel in tactics, negotiation, or behind-the-scenes planning. There can be
a tendency toward controlling relationships or situations, driven by Ashlesha’s
clingy and intense emotional energy. I believe that this Mars placement in
Ashlesha nakshatra is also one very important factor in her horoscope that made
her do whatever she did. Mars is being seen by Saturn, so Mars can work even
more negative in her life in shaping her relationship behaviour.
She allegedly killed Raja Raghuvanshi on May 23, 2025. She was
running through Sun/Moon/Venus period at that time. Sun is 8th
H ruler siting in the 8th H with Venus and Mercury. Moon is 7th
H ruler. So, she got married in this Moon sub-period. But Moon is also giving
the results of Mars in the 7th H in the Cancer sign and Ashlesha
nakshatra. I have explained all these planets in the above analysis.
