What is the health prognosis of Kapil Dev?

Kapil Dev is like many other Indians my childhood hero too and I remember how much happiness I got when under his captaincy India won the World Cup of cricket in 1983. Being an all-rounder with excellent batting and bowling capabilities, I was rather surprised to read that recently he had some heart problems. Hence I decided to study his chart to determine if there is something astrologically that is responsible for his health issues and what his prognosis is.

• Saturn from 6/ 1/59 till 20/ 2/67 – Excellent time and born into a good and moneyed family and did well in his life and from early on due to his Saturn was propelled towards his dream of sports/ cricket. This period set the foundation for his complete life.

• Mercury from 20/ 2/67 till 20/ 2/84 – Critical time during which he worked very hard and moved fast on the path of his future successes, luck was always with him and catapulted him to the stratosphere of name, fame and honors. By the end of this auspicious and life altering mahadasha he gave the first ever world cup for India as captain. This glorious period also saw him getting married.

• Ketu from 20/ 2/84 till 20/ 2/91 – Another excellent phase in which he continued his winning streak as no-nonsense captain of the Indian cricket team and earned a lot for respect globally, while also making India a global powerhouse of cricket. This mahadasha also set in motion his plans for retirement in his next excellent Venus mahadasha.

• Venus from 20/ 2/91 till 20/ 2/11 – one of the best times of his life during which he played cricket for the country as well as took up various team management roles and got involved in other career options and lives a life of luxury with his family. This period gave him his daughter. He benefited a lot due to the benefic presence of his wife.

• Sun from 20/ 2/11 till 20/ 2/17 – The good times continue for him and whatever he touched turned into gold and he also did exceedingly well in his business ventures both related and non related to cricket. This fast paced time kept him busy at the cost of sometimes neglecting his health and stress level which would come to haunt him in his net Moon mahadasha.

• Moon from 20/ 2/17 till 20/ 2/27 – This is the first time our national hero Kapil stared to feel the strain and stress in his body and soul mainly due to his emotional nature or carrying his emotions on his sleeve all his life. He has to be extremely cautious of his heath and well being. Though his Moon is well placed in his 9^th house but it being debilitated would give him emotional issues and health concerns especially in his present Moon mahadasha. Hence extreme caution is required from the health point of view, especially from sudden and unexpected adverse health events. Regular medical check ups needed.

• MON – JUP 20/ 5/21 – Kapil Dev suffered a heart attack on October 23^rd , 2020 during this period and it is a concern as he has to slow down in his present Moon mahadasha which would end when he would be 70 years but the good part is that after his successful surgery his heart has got a new lease of life. This happened in his Moon – Jupiter period; as his Jupiter is placed in the same house as his debilitated Moon and this antardasha is only a once in a life time occurrence for him. Mostly the reasons could be related to slowing down of career and professional options for an active person like him but with his excellent chart if he takes care of his health, career options would only get better.
