Tough times ahead for SRK, Kat, Akshay?

Will SRK reclaim his 'absolute king' status in Bollywood? Or will Akshay continue to reign? Will Katrina finally tie the knot? Here's the answer to all your questions. Noted astrologer Bejan Daruwala's Ganeshaspeaks.com predicts what the coming year holds for some of the Bollywood bigwigs. Read on...

Shah Rukh Khan

Birth date: November 02, 1965
Birth time : 2.30 AM
Birth place : Delhi

Can the stars be more favourable for this man? From being a normal TV actor, Shah Rukh Khan has risen to the helm of Bollywood. Having been bestowed by the title of Datuk in Malaysia recently, SRK has proved his national as well as international popularity and fame.

Let's see whether the coming year brings him more fame (if that's possible) and success...

Astro analysis: The Lord of the tenth house Venus, which signifies art and acting, is situated in the fifth house making it immensely powerful. The situation of Rahu is in Kendra ie the tenth house indicating strength. As Saturn is a slow moving planet, Khan is progressing in his career gradually. Presently, he is under the influence of major period of Saturn and also sub period of Saturn.

So what's in store?

On the career front, 2009 is a very progressive year for Khan. Any business related assignments or films that he takes up from April 03, 2009 to October 03, 2009 will definitely bring him greater fame. He may start a new venture which might bring him success. He will also become more calculative and logical but may take some rash decisions.

In the second and the third quarter of 2009, his career seems to be very bright. He will be able to establish himself as a successful businessman as well in the coming year. He may get financial gains through business as well as films.

The last quarter of the year 2009 may not give him any great gains. He will come up with a big business project. But, its launch may get delayed due to some difficulties but finally the project will make good money.

Katrina Kaif

Date of Birth– July 16, 1984
Time – unknown
Place – London, UK

Now if Akki is the Kinng, Katrina is the reigning queen of Bollywood for sure. With back to back hits with Akshay Kumar, Kaif can now easily forget the initial career disasters like Boom.

The last few years have brought immense luck to this actress. Let's take a look if her luck will continue next year as well...

Astro analysis: Rahu is passing through the seventh house. Transiting Rahu is square to her natal Shani and inconjunct to her transiting Shani. Ganesha also foresees that Shani is passing through her second house of speech.

So what's in store?

There might be certain unfavourable situations for her, courting scandals and situations inviting negative publicity. This may also lead to a lot of strife and troubles for her to maintain her status and image. She may have to face a lot of flak because of some scandalous events that may take place in her life. She will have to control her instant eagerness and reflect before saying anything. Kaif may not get good breaks in the year 2009. Marriage seems to be a no-no possibility for her in the year 2009.

Akshay Kumar

Date of Birth– September 9, 1967
Time – unknown
Place – Amritsar, Punjab

Now we all know who the stars have been favouring for these past few years. From being the 'khiladi' of Bollywood, Akshay Kumar has escalated to become the Kinng. And what's more, many look at the actor as the new Bollywood 'hit machine'.

Having hiked his price recently, Akshay has become one of the higest paid actors in the industry. SO let's see if he can maintain his position in the coming year...

Astro Details: The Natal Sun is posited in Leo but it falls in its debilitated sign in Navamansha. Jupiter and Mercury are exalted whereas Uranus is combust and conjunct with Mercury. Mars is posited in its own house. Venus and Saturn are retrograde in Leo and Pisces.

So what's in store?

His self-discipline and self-confidence are likely to get affected negatively. He may experience mental conflicts too. He should be careful of political and diplomatic affairs. This stressful period will continue till March 2009.

Sushmita Sen

Date of Birth – November 19, 1975
Time – Unknown
Place – Hyderabad

Well, her stars were really shining in the year 1994 for sure. But after that, looks like their brilliance kind of wore out. From being the first Indian to win the Miss Universe pageant, Sush has been reduced to a mere TV anchor and actress known more for her series of liaisons than her films.

Let's see whether the next year will bring back Sush her lost luck...

Astro analysis: Guru the Lord of her second house of wealth and family as well as speech will be debilitated and in conjunction with transiting Rahu opposite natal Shani through out the year 2009. Guru is also the lord of her fifth house of children.

So what's in store?

Associations with artists, creative and refined persons or those active in the art and entertainment sectors will be possible in the year 2009. She may also fall in love (Again?!). Her advancement in life at this time will be slow or cumbersome. Any progress she may make will come at a price. Also, there can be temporary setbacks and possible financial constraints or worries. She may feel discontented, for no apparent reason.

In February 2009, she may plan a short holiday or a social function. In the months of April and May she may face difficulties on the social front.

In the months of May, June and July, matters related to heart may come to the fore. She may become the object of someone's romantic desires, or she could be smitten by someone. Established relationships, too, can go through a period of increased warmth and affection. This can be a successful period for her, with her work being acknowledged and respected by others.

Relations with siblings and neighbours will be relatively harmonious. She may be more mobile now and inclined to take more short journeys than usual. This is an excellent time for learning new things and expanding her knowledge. She may be busy writing and communicating with others.

On the other side, the stars will also provide him with monetary gains. From December 2008 to February 2009, he will get more projects to work on. Success is foreseen in the upcoming months.

After December 2008, he will experience a good financial raise. He may also become more ethical and religious.

Kamal Haasan

Date of Birth – November 07, 1954
Time - Unknown
Place – Paramagudi (Tamil Nadu) India

A four time National Film Award winning Indian film actor and the recipient of Padma Shri, Kamal Haasan, is known in the Indian film industry for his talent and versatility in acting. Here's what the new year has in store for this versatile actor...

Astro analysis: Shani, the Lord of his fifth house of creativity, will be opposite to its own house in conjunction with Pluto. Transiting Shani will aspect Natal Shani too. Ketu, a malefic and a separative planet, will pass through his tenth house of career and will be square to Natal Shani.

So, what's in store?

In the new year, he will work harder and would shoulder more responsibility which will prove beneficial for him in the future. During this period he will strive to draw emotional support from others. Women, in particular, can play an influential role in his life at this time. Family ties may dominate his thoughts. Family members may come together or drift apart.

This is the right time for taking stock of things and cutting back. Financial stress may be a cause of concern for him. This is not, particularly, a good time for working on new projects. Instead, he is advised to wait until the year end 2009 and review his circumstances and then start afresh.

He will be aware of a pronounced desire to assert himself and get ahead in life - even if it pitches him against the expectations and beliefs of others. He will aim high involving himself in creative projects and ideas as imagination and creativity will flow in his mind this time around but he needs to keep things in perspective. He will involve himself in power plays and will show compulsive behavior. People in positions of power, can make his life difficult. Also, there can be the tendency, on his part, to become zealous or obsessed with an idea which can lead him to argue with others or cause him to lose sight of what or who is important.

This year there may be some dominant changes in his lifestyles, relationships, behavioural patterns and habits. The year 2009 will bring opportunities for sustainable growth in varied areas of life. Notably, this will be a favourable time for expanding business or involving in intellectual, spiritual or political work, or investing in property or real estate.
