What Planetary Placement Gave Rahman Success and Challenges?

In Rahman’s horoscope, exalted Mars and Venus bring awards and achievements through Vipreet Raj Yoga, Veshi Yoga, and Adhi Yoga.

His Gemini Ascendant, the natural 3rd house signifier of name, ruled by Mercury (which is placed in the transformative nakshatra Moola) shows that his new identity would emerge through struggle and pain before leading to success.

The Transformative Power of the Ascendant, Third Lord, and Name in Destiny

Name plays a significant role in one's life, and has the power to transform your life, as can be observed with the horoscope of A.R. Rahman. His third lord, the Sun, was associated with Mercury, which plays a significant role in his name change.

Major Planets and Positive Yogas That Make Rahman Successful

Many awards and fame, including intangible success, will remain attached to his name. Achievements in his life manifest through powerful planetary yogas by Mars, Venus, Mercury, and the Sun, which play a significant role.

In his horoscope, the Arudha that stands for public fame/achievements/vibe, gets power from the energy of exalted Mars and Venus, bringing awards and achievements through Vipreet Raj Yoga, Veshi Yoga, and Adhi Yoga.

• Veshi Yoga: Mars and Venus are placed in the 2nd from the Sun in his horoscope, giving Veshi Yoga. That also points to heaviness and value of his speech.
• Adhi Yoga: Mercury and Venus are placed in the 7th and 8th from his Moon sign, Gemini, giving Adhi Yoga with their placement.

The above-mentioned combinations gave Rahman gains and learning from his father and lineage, which he adapted and began studying the piano at just age four. He used to assist his father in the studio, playing the keyboard.

Challenging Planetary Combinations in Rahman’s Horoscope

• Vipreet Raj Yoga: Mars being the 6th lord sits in the 8th house in exaltation, giving Vipreet Raj Yoga. This starts out by giving tough challenges, but leads to eventual success. Venus was with a strong Mars and blessed him with the power to sing and express and touch people’s feelings through his music.
• Gandmool Dosha to Ascendant Lord Mercury: Mercury in the constellation of Ketu causes major ups and downs in one’s life. In Rahman’s horoscope, Mercury is placed in Moola Nakshatra, which is known as one of the transition knots in astrology, and which plays a significant role in introducing a 180-degree life change; this placement was strongly active in his horoscope. Ascendant lord Mercury is in Gandant Nakshatra, which led to a major shift in religion and change of name too.
• Rahu in the 12th house: This inclines him towards helping others and become a humanitarian and philanthropist, donating and raising money for several charities. However, this placement also throws a spanner in the works in his marriage.

Predictions

• 2026 May to 2029 January is going to be an important phase to create new compositions again and see achievements during Mercury and Saturn period.
• From April 17^th, 2030, to April 2032, unplanned expenses and health-related challenges could crop up. This period demands attention to health—he could face challenges related to feet, insomnia, and indigestion.
• In Rahman’s horoscope, Venus and Jupiter are in retrograde, so he needs to take care of the health of his spouse, and in marital life, he needs to give free space in the relationship to make things clear, so that he doesn’t face challenges.
• June 2029 to August 2030, A.R. Rahman will likely face relationship challenges and clashes of opinion with children.
