Astrologer: best years of DRAVID are behind him

Rahul Dravid is a Sagittarius-Pisces combo. The Sun, which rules the soul, and Mercury, which rules the thought processes, are both in Sagittarius. His Moon, the planet that rules emotions, is in Pisces. Sagittarius is the most athletic amongst all signs and Pisces is the most adaptable.It’s little wonder that at 37, he is fit as a fiddle.

But his zodiac signs are not known for their leadership skills and hence his discomfort in being the leader of the team. This is a very curious combination. While Sagittarius is one of the most optimistic and aggressive zodiac signs, Pisces is the most emotional, passive and pessimistic amongst the zodiac. His natural stance is defence since Pisces is a master in stonewalling!

Therefore, he found it difficult to adapt to the pace of ODIs and T20s initially. But, the same Pisces adaptability, coupled with the fiery aggression of Sagittarius, have helped him overcome his initial hang-ups to become a ‘floater’.

He started playing in 1996 during the transit of Jupiter in own house. The strong Jupiter placed in his 10th house, the house of Karma or career, helped him score over 11,000 runs in Test cricket.

The best period for him in ODIs happened in 1999 World Cup, when he was the highest run scorer. This was the time when Pluto was transiting its own house Scorpio, which is his 9th house, the house of luck and higher achievements.

The current transit of ‘Planet-Y’, an exoplanet, a planet beyond our solar system, may not be so conducive to him. The period of ‘Planet-Y’, which started in January 2010, would run through till the end of 2012, which would see Dravid go through a lean patch. He will take some major life decisions which would change his association with cricket.He might well retire from competitive cricket before 2012-end.

He may find it difficult to get into the Indian team for the 2011 World Cup, though the chances cannot be completely ruled out due to the unavailability of his correct birth time. But, even if he’s selected, he may not be able to create the impact of 1999, as his best, the Pluto period, is already over.

Yes, expect him to light up the stadiums with his power hitting and play a stellar role for RCB, if they are to go all the way in the Champions League.
