So I’ve heard a lot of articles about Captain Sabharwal. But Just based on what his chart tells me. I do hold some sympathy for him and his family. More so given the fact that my maternal side also Sabharwals.

Summary analysis
So he was a fun loving practical, intelligent, charmingly popular with the ladies ascendant Gemini; 4th house has Ketu and Jupiter retrograde enemy; this means coming from a good family. But trouble in marriage or legal trouble; more so either difficulty having children or having children with medical intervention and estrangement from children due to marriage issues. 5th Houses Moon. This is extremely auspicious placement, mother was his life, very close to him. Also could have become father of healthy children; that is very much possible but estrangement is also possible. Mentally very strong person; this is not a person who will be suicidal or depressed; he is very strong mentally; very stable; Knows what he is doing; has a good mind on his shoulders. So this theory being floated in the western media that he was depressed and purposely crashed the plane; no he was mentally very stable person. 6th house has Mars Lord; so this means that basically on the quieter side. Talked only to people who he got along with. Polite, sophisticated, would talk less generally or would talk on the lesser side. 9th house is interesting. Sun enemy and Mercury. So again very lucky due to fathers help, he became an Air India pilot. Relations with father may have been up and down but generally good. Not as close with dad as with mother. But father auspicious for him and not only that he has born into a very good family. Professionally he will do very well; live in luxury in five star hotels and also extremely sophisticated and polite person. Nice to talk to, a charmer. Rahu in the 10th house means that position of authority Is there via job and that has links to a foreign country. So you could say that he was a pilot flying all over the world and that is was his job as a senior recognized pilot. Travelling all the time; living out of a suitcase and living in luxury too. But foreign travel was his life. The source of income and also his source of authority as a senior captain. Now 11th house has to be analyzed carefully. Venus and Saturn debilitated. Means belong to a high profile family, charming, good looking, would have been married into a very high profile family. His wife if he was married could have been an airline pilot; or very high profile professional. But marriage distress is also there which causes professional distress. Because Saturn is debilitated in the 11th house. So high profile career but brings lot of stress with it and the stress percolates into his family life/ married life. So marriage is a point of great concern for him; again this does not in any way mean that he has committed suicide; it just means professional stress. And Venus in that house means that impacts his marriage also. And we know, he was planning to retire. He was planning to retire and I think he was planning to settle down again because money seems not to be the problem in this chart. Right now he was going through his 11th house Venus Mahadasha Till 2036. So he was flying high, living in luxury and comfort all his life, more so right now as a very seasoned pilot. But Saturn in the same house debilitated means, without the remedies, immense career stress. And due to that immense career stress, marriage stress, he would have tried to work out his marriage or would have been looking out for other partners. That was the tough area in his life without the remedies. So we lost a very able pilot. A very nice human being who was stressed; job was stressful; personal life was complicated. And this is in no way, as I have seen chart of nuclear engineers/ nuclear scientists/ senior scientists having this kind of chart. This is not the chart of somebody who commits suicide to end his and others life, no way. This is a person who is looking forward to life; to overcoming the challenges. But has ne worn a Neelam, then things could have been little better. So he was stressed definitely; he was stressed 100 percent. At this level of professionalism they know how to compartmentalize their life personal life from their professional life. But some sort of pilot error (unintended) could be possible. It could be possible that he faced a scenario in that cockpit which was beyond his training and he did not know how to handle it.
So my personal homage is to the Sabharwal and Anand families.
And I’m very upset with the accident investment board (AAIB), of coming under the pressure of Americans and the British and giving out a preliminary report which indirectly points finger at the pilots. And then they recanted later. This is very unprofessional.
He was a victim of Planet Saturn.
