Shah Rukh Khan Predictions   Looking back, looking forward god’s own child The Jumaanis’ predictions for Shah Rukh Khan The Numbers Game Born on November 2, 1965, Shah Rukh Khan, like all those born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th and 29th, is ruled by the Moon (2), which is always linked with Neptune (7). Being a Scorpio, Shah Rukh is also ruled by Mars (9). No 2 and 7 are planets of imagination and creativity. The flip side is that people ruled by them are prone to mood swings. Interestingly, people influenced by these two numbers blossom in the second half of their lives. Good examples would be Mahatma Gandhi (October 2) and Amitabh Bachchan (October 11). The influence of Mars makes Shah Rukh a very impulsive person. Mars is a violent planet, full of energy and in many cases, energy wasted. In Shah Rukh’s case, this energy has been channelised into his work.   Figuring Him Out Shah Rukh Khan seems to have been given his name by God. The letters of his name total 42, which adds up to 6, the number of the planet Venus, which rules love, entertainment and luxury. It is a number of great potency and Shah Rukh will see success in any field that requires the use of one’s imagination. In films, he has been especially successful in romantic roles since Venus rules him. Incidentally, the same combination of planets rules many writers, painters and musicians. However, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for Shah Rukh after he moved into his bungalow Mannat. There is a solution—if he adds another ‘T’ to Mannat, it’ll add up to 6, one of his lucky numbers. Working On It Scorpios are known to flourish in the film industry. Two examples are Aishwarya Rai (November 1) and Sushmita Sen (November 19). Another Scorpio trait (common to all water signs), is that they do well in places far from their land of birth. Shah Rukh, who grew up in Delhi, moved to Mumbai when he was in his mid-20s. Besides, Mumbai add up to 9, one of his lucky numbers. While his acting career has reached great highs, his stint as a producer has been chequered. That’s because he has failed every time he has released a film on the 4th or 8th. He should never release his film on these two dates or even any date that adds up to these two numbers. We had warned him (through the media) not to release Asoka on 26 October 2001 but he had already committed the date to his distributors. The movie bombed. The same fate befell Duplicate (8 May, 1998) and Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (20 January 2000). Though Swades wasn’t his production, as the hero of the film he had a major influence on it. The film released on 17 December 2004 and didn’t fare too well. But Chalte Chalte adds up to 42, ie 6, and I had personally told him when I met him at a function that the film would be a hit. In fact, the film would have fared even better if it hadn’t been released on 13 June 2003. Main Hoon Na added up to 5, a generally good number for communication and media.I had told Farah Khan that the film would do well.   Politically Correct Now the big question: Will Shah Rukh get into politics? Mars gives him abundant energy and he can well channelise it into politics. This the best period for him to join politics. He has the qualities of a political leader and he’s under the influence of the same planets as Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi (November 19, a Scorpio ruled by Mars) and Sonia Gandhi (December 9, also ruled by Mars). As 2005 adds up to 7, which is one of his lucky numbers, it’s possible that Shah Rukh may join the Congress Party before year-end. He may well bring in the New Year singing, ‘You are my Sonia’. To reassure all his fans, Shah Rukh will continue to act in films and produce them even after he joins politics. Health Report People ruled by Moon and Neptune are influenced by their surroundings. And an unhappy atmosphere can lead to mood swings or mental depression. Shah Rukh should also guard against diabetes. Those ruled by Mars invariably come under the surgeon’s knife and so has Shah Rukh, for his neck problem. Though he’s suffering a lot from it, he will eventually surmount it with the influence of Mars, which gives him unending energy. His health could improve if he avoids wearing black. Relationships Shah Rukh shares a special rapport with people who fall into his family of numbers. Karan Johar (May 25) is ruled by 7 and 2 while Juhi Chawla (13 November) and Farah Khan (January 9) also fall in the same family. Hence partnerships with all of them will be fruitful. He should work with Aishwarya Rai and Sushmita Sen since both of them are No 1s and could prove lucky for him. No 2s require the support of No 1, which depicts the Sun and is the planet of ambition and leadership. Priyanka Chopra (July 18) is a Cancerian ruled by the Moon and Neptune and hence compatible with Shah Rukh. Rani Mukerji (March 21) and Preity Zinta (January 31) will also prove good co-stars. However, he shouldn’t get into a partnership with Preity as number 4 is lucky for him when it comes his way but unlucky when he chooses it. Money Matters Though Shah Rukh is a shrewd businessman, his good fortune may not last if he doesn’t invest it wisely. Fundamentally, he should invest in his own talent rather than rely on that of others. He should make films with himself in the lead. Looking Ahead2005 will be a landmark year for him and he will create ripples throughout in various avenues. He started it off by being awarded the Padma Shri and winning several trophies for his acting skills. The Pepsi ad is being talked about, he may get an offer from Hollywood and his forthcoming production, Paheli, will also do well. His important years are 40, 43, 46, 47, 52, 55, 56, 61, 65 and 70.
