In astrology, Desh Kaal Patra—meaning time, place, and context—highlights the importance of interpreting a birth chart based on specific circumstances. For example, a planetary combination that signaled a warrior king in the 18th century might indicate a famous athlete today, with wealth and recognition similar to royalty.
Tippu Sultan and Imran Khan: A Comparison
To explain Desh Kaal Patra, let’s compare the horoscopes of Tippu Sultan, Sultan of Mysore, and Imran Khan, former Prime Minister of Pakistan. Their charts, sourced from Astrodatabank (AA rating) and journalofastrology.com, share the same Lagna (ascendant), Moon sign, Mars (5th Lord) in a Kendra (angular house), and a conjunction of the Sun (9th Lord), Saturn (3rd Lord), and Mercury (10th Lord). These alignments show how identical astrological influences manifest differently—Tippu Sultan’s warrior spirit versus Imran Khan’s leadership.
Before politics, Imran Khan was a renowned cricket star, leading Pakistan to the 1992 World Cup victory.

In Tippu Sultan's chart, the 3rd Lord Saturn —often associated with sports in contemporary astrology—conjuncts the 10th Lord, Mercury, which represents occupation. This conjunction occurs in the 12th house, while Jupiter aspects it from the 6th house, a sector linked to competition. This configuration highlights the potential for achievement in competitive fields, showcasing how astrological placements can transcend time.
The conjunction of the Sun[9th Lord] and Mercury[10th Lord] in the 12th house forms a powerful Rajyoga, although the presence of Saturn indicates potential conflicts, particularly given TippuSultan’s differing views with the rulers of the East India Company. However, Jupiter's aspect further strengthens this Rajayoga, enhancing its overall potency and suggesting that despite challenges, significant opportunities for success would still be present.
Tippu Sultan fought valiantly against the British rulers and ultimately met his heroic end during a period marked by the Jupiter-Jupiter-Ketu Vimshottari Dasha in the 6th house, associated with conflict and combat. This alignment underscores his fierce spirit and unwavering determination in battle. Tippu Sultan and Imran Khan share similar astrological charts, particularly the placement of Mars in a Kendra (angular houses), which endowed them both with bravery and a fighting spirit. Additionally, the Moon, as the 8th Lord in the 5th house, had a significant influence on their lives. For Tippu Sultan, this planetary position contributed to the tragic event in March 1792, when his two sons were taken hostage by the British until he paid a war indemnity of three crores and thirty lakhs rupees. Similarly, Imran Khan's two sons currently reside in London, reflecting another manifestation of this astrological influence.
Both figures also share a strong connection with foreigners, primarily due to Mars being the 12th Lord (signifying foreign affairs) placed in a Kendra (1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th houses), along with the influence of 18 years of Rahu’s dasha in their lives. Tippu Sultan allied with the French to counter British forces, while Imran Khan received support from the USA in his struggle against the military establishment.
In Tippu Sultan's case, the Rajayoga is in a fixed sign, which allowed him to rule Mysore for over 16 years. In contrast, Imran Khan's Rajayoga is in a dual sign, reflecting his shorter tenure as Prime Minister of just over three years. However, this placement suggests he may return to power, though likely for a brief period. His Mercury, the 10th Lord in the 10th house, is Vargottama, making it very strong and auspicious, especially due to its conjunction with the Sun, the 9th Lord.
Tippu Sultan's coronation took place on December 22, 1782, during the Vimshottari Dasha of Rahu-Rahu-Mars. In this context, Mars, the Paratyantar Dasha Lord, represented the 5th Lord (Dignity) located in the 4th House of the throne. At that time, Mr. Imran Khan was the Prime Minister, with the Vimshottari Dasha of Jupiter-Saturn-Jupiter in effect. Notably, Saturn (symbolizing Democracy) was positioned in the 10th house, conjunct with the 9th Lord (the Sun) of fortune and the 10th Lord (Mercury) of honor. Additionally, Jupiter and the Moon occupied the 5th house of dignity (Chief Minister), forming Gajakeshari Yoga, which further emphasizes the significance of this event.

In the case of Mr. Imran Khan, while the planetary configurations are similar, they occur in different houses. The Rajayoga of the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn is positioned in the 10th house, indicating career success rather than the 12th house of loss.
Additionally, Jupiter is in the 5th house, where it forms the Gajakesari Yoga with the Moon, further enhancing his potential for achievement and recognition. Moreover, the Lagna Lord, Jupiter, is in a sign exchange with Mars, in Mr. Imran Khan's chart, Mars is positioned in the Lagna across multiple divisional charts—Rashi, Hora, Navamsa, Dreshkone, Dwadashamsa, and Trimshamsha—making it an exceptionally strong chart.
According to B.P.H.S Chapter 40, Shloka 13, if the Rashi, Hora, Dreshkone, Navamsa, Dwadashamsa, and Trimshamsha are either conjunct or aspected by the same planet, it creates a Rajayoga.

Akbar and Pelé: Astrology and Desh Kaal Patra
Akbar and Pelé: A Tale of Similar Horoscopes
Mughal Emperor Akbar, with details from journalofastrology.com, and football legend Pelé, sourced from Astrodatabank (AA rating), both share Leo ascendants. Their Lagna Lord (Sun) is in the 3rd house, and the 3rd Lord (Venus) is in the ascendant.
In the case of Akbar, the Lagna Lord, the Sun, is located in the 3rd house and is conjunct with Saturn. In contrast, for Pelé, the Lagna Lord, the Sun, is under the aspect of Saturn and Jupiter from the 9th house, while also being conjunct with Mercury.
According to B.P.H.S, having the Lagna Lord in the 3rd house imparts qualities of bravery and honor in difficult situations, along with intelligence and a cheerful disposition. Additionally, having the 3rd Lord in the ascendant encourages self-effort in earning money, fosters bravery, and bestows wisdom even in the absence of formal education.
These qualities were evident in both individuals, though they yielded different results based on the principles of Desh Kaal Patra. Akbar was a great warrior during the initial phase of his reign, particularly during the Venus Dasha, as Venus, the 3rd Lord (representing self-effort and valor), was in a sign exchange with the Sun[Lagna Lord]. In contrast, Pelé began his club career in football in 1956 , during the Antar Dasha of Venus (Rahu-Venus-Venus). Notably, both started their careers at an early age of 15 and older. Akbar's coronation took place on February 14, 1556, during the Dasha of Venus-Rahu-Mars. The sign Lord of Rahu is exalted in 3rd House with Sun and Pratyantar Dasha Lord Mars in 5th House of dignity. Pelé played his first FIFA World Cup, akin to a coronation, in June 1958, during the Dasha of Rahu-Venus-Mercury. In this chart, Venus, the 3rd Lord, is in a sign exchange with the Sun in the 3rd house, while Mercury is conjunct with the Sun in the same house under the aspect of Jupiter[5th Lord] and Saturn 6th and 7th Lord.
Pelé's 3rd Lord, Venus, is in a sign exchange with the Sun, which contributed to his success as a great player, particularly influenced by the dynamics of Desh Kaal Patra in the 1960s. In contrast, Akbar was a great warrior in 1556 with the same Venus (3rd Lord) and Sun (LagnaLord) exchange, while Pelé enjoyed a life of luxury akin to that of the Mughal emperor. Akbar, the Mughal Emperor of Hindustan, reigned for over 49 years, while Pelé remained a legend throughout his lifetime.
Conclusion: Desh Kaal Patra Shapes Astrological Outcomes
In astrology, Desh Kaal Patra—time, place, and context—determines how a birth chart unfolds. Planetary yogas, like those in the charts of Tippu Sultan, Imran Khan, Akbar, and Pelé, manifest uniquely based on their era and environment. A warrior king’s yoga in the 18th century may produce a celebrated athlete today, yet similar charts often reflect parallel life events, such as bravery, foreign ties, or personal challenges. This shows how astrology adapts to circumstances while retaining core influences.
