This analysis is based on the birth details available on the internet.

When we analyse the horoscope of Arvind Kejriwal the first thing which comes to our mind is that the lagna rising is Taurus. Saturn is the benefic ninth and the tenth lord placed in the twelfth house in the sign of debilitation. Saturn appears to be weak in the lagna chart. But Saturn is Vargottam in Navamsa and is placed in same sign in the divisional charts. This can be confirmed from the Dasamsa and the Dwadasamsa charts given above. Vargottam planets are considered to be quite strong. If we further see the horoscope, we find that Saturn in this horoscope is retrograde. Many astrological classics points that retrograde debilitated planet can give results of exalted planet and retrograde exalted planet can give results of debilitated or weak planet.
In the horoscope of Arvind Kejriwal we find that he is running the antardasa of Jupiter / Venus from 28/01/2018 to 28/09/2020. Jupiter and Venus are both placed together in the fourth house signaling gain of office. Fourth house is seen generally for gaining kingly crown. The modern-day interpretation may mean success in election.
If we analyse minutely, we find that the current pratyantar dasa running is Jupiter / Venus / Saturn from 15/10/2019 to 18/03/2020. Saturn’s role we have already discussed above. Saturn is yogakaraka planet for Taurus lagna. It is also retrograde and debilitated. Applying the classical principle that debilitated planet if retrograde can give excellent results. We can understand why Arvind Kejriwal swept the Delhi election in 2020 as on the day of the poll and the day of election results, he was running the pratyantar dasa of Saturn. This was the reason for his phenomenal success in election.
Debilitated Saturn dasa may be the real cause of rioting, tensions, controversies and mudslinging before the election. However, in democracy Saturn holds the key in all election results. Saturn, refers to common man or Aam Aadmi. Their role has been crucial in re-electing him as Delhi chief minister once again. Saturn also represents deprived people for whom government subsidy on electricity and water was very important. It seems that they all joined in to vote for him.
How will be the next 5 years as per running antardasas.
Jupiter / Venus till 28/09/2020:
Venus is the lagna lord placed in the fourth house. Venus is Vargottam in the Navamsa chart. This period gives success to him. It is likely that his reputation will increase during this period. His Delhi model may be applauded and even followed by different states in India.
Jupiter / Sun from 28/09/2020 to 18/07/2021:
Sun is the fourth lord placed in the third house. It is likely that Arvind Kejriwal may shift his focus from Delhi to different states. He may try to strengthen his party in other states like Punjab and Haryana. He may try to present himself as a national player soon. He is not comfortable sticking to regional politics alone.
Jupiter / Moon from 18/07/2021 to 17/11/2022:
Moon is placed in the twelfth house with Debilitated Saturn. Though, Saturn might have given yogakaraka results, this period may put him in controversies. He may find it hard to manage public spending. He may have to curtail subsidies which may affect his image at large. His support base might not like his decisions. His personal health may also suffer.
Jupiter / Mars from 17/11/2022 to 24/10/2023:
Mars is debilitated in the horoscope in the third house. As per Parashara debilitation of planet in the third house causes Vipreet rajya yoga. This means again Arvind Kejriwal will have a strong comeback and will be able to silence his critics. His party may show increase in presence outside Delhi as well.
Jupiter / Rahu from 24/10/2023 to 18/03/2026:
Rahu is placed in the eleventh house. It is likely that Arvind Kejriwal may gain recognitions and investments from abroad. His work may also get internationally recognized. Financially, it is a good period for him. He should refrain from needless controversies.
Important Note: The rajya yogas in the horoscope is Vipreet rajya yoga as well as Neech Bhanga rajya yoga. This means Arvind Kejriwal’s growth comes when people attack him. Adversities are his friends. Mudslinging on him actually helps him. His political opponents should refrain from direct personal attacks on him, if they want to succeed against him.
