Hi,
Quite frankly, I’ve been a bit skeptical of your chances purely based on my understanding of your birth-chart and current MAha-Dasha lord Rahu’s inclination or disposition – not to mention Rahu’s relationship with upcoming Antara lords. Subsequent Maha-Dasha is that of Jupiter/Guru-dev lording the 8th & 11th houses…is not really benefic, along with Sade-Sathi or Saturn/Shani-dev’s transit across natal placement of Moon/Chandra. Further, Sun/Ravi being placed in the 12th house of Vyaya/Losses, where he is neither happy nor comfortable… Saturn/Shani-dev being placed in his Neecha-Sthana or sign of debilitation (despite Neecha-Bhanga). Last but not the least, Lagna Lord Venus/Shukra being placed in the 12th house of Vyaya/Losses and 12th lord being placed alongside Udaya Lagna is a major chart-spoiler.
These were some of the reasons I wanted to hear and validate my understanding of birth-chart. That said, I’ll be more than happy and glad if my understanding turns out to be wrong (would love to hear from you). In any case, it would make sense for you to put in a lot more effort (to prove my understanding to be wrong – I’d urge you consider this a challenge), if you are truly aspiring to crack/clear UPSC.
Take care…
