As a young child, coming from a army background I was oblivious to the world of spies except the glorified James Bond movies. Then my military mama was sent on a deputation with RAW in Indonesia. This was in the 80s. I still did not really give it a thought because mostly i remember the pictures he used to send us was from beautiful beaches. It was only after my marriage; that it so happened that my wife’s nana’s side were all police/intelligence/RAW folks with her youngest mama was a career RAW officer. He is a very private person but still I’m trying to get his birth details so that I can share the chart of a successful career spy.
Via the chart analysis of most versatile and senior actor Rakesh Bedi, I am also paying my salute to all people in India’s security and intelligence apparatus, who most often remain unsung heroes despite their immense sacrifice.
Birth Details
1/12/1954; 1015 Hours (determined); New Delhi – This is the time which gives the best planetary combination for the day on which Rakesh Bedi was born .As without this chart combinationl it was not possible from a boy from a ordinary Punjabi family in Delhi; to first go to the Film Institute in Pune; itself a prestigious institute and then from 1976 onwards to be continuously working for 50 years in the film industry and even at the age of 71 giving the best hit of his life. Not only that he has also had a successful marriage with two grown up daughters. This requires one to be lucky as well as a risk taker.

Analysis
So the native is a very lucky person; very lucky hardworking and will make his own life. But he has to be careful of stress related issues; like stress related overeating. He always has to be careful of blood pressure, cholesterol and related issues; otherwise this is a very good chart. He is ascendant Capricorn; a weak ascendant Capricorn with Moon in the Lagna House. So that gives him traits of ascendant Sagittarius also. So he is not an emotional person at all; he’s very practical, rooted in reality and money conscious, smart person. Emotionally stable, wealthy and very lucky. Mars is in the second house; this means that he comes from a middle class family with no links with the film industry. He is a self made person. Ketu in the 6th house means that though he is nice to talk to; a pleasurable person but sometimes he can get carried away with friends and eat and enjoy life a bit too much and ignore his health and he will have tiffs with his family and loved ones with regards to his health. He always has to be careful of his health. Now his 7th house is the point from where his chart takes him to Mumbai. and the point from where his chart really starts to take off. Because it has Jupiter retrograde and exalted; this means he is very lucky; qualified; educated but everything has come with a struggle but it has come. He got selected into the film Institute(FTII) and after that he got married. Marriage has been stable; he is father of healthy children; there have been teething problems but all manageable. He is very lucky and he is good in his craft. Now after that 10th house has Venus Lord and retrograde and Saturn exalted. This means that again he is extremely lucky in the film industry as Venus in the 10th house means due to his craft or art he will attain recognition and wealth. But struggles have been there though luck is on his side. So due to Venus retrograde you see that he is not hero material look wise but he is a master in his craft and this perfect mix of a comic look plus craftmanship is what makes him popular and stand apart, because Saturn when it gets exalted in the 10th house means that through your hard work you will live a life of professional success and luxury. You will be the master of your craft and live in wealth. Now if 10th house wasn’t enough then the 11th house is power packed with Sun and Mercury in it. This means he comes from a decent family and he himself will be well known, extremely wealthy, live a high profile life; jet setting all over the world, which is only the dream of many and he is a very intelligent person. He is no nonsense and clear minded. Name, fame is assured to him and also he will live a life of luxury that is dream of many. It’s a king’s life and at the same time he is polite and humble but fun loving. 12th house has Rahu and gives him mild Kaal Sarpa Dosha (MKSD). So what this means is that again health wise he always has to be very careful because Moon and Mars are coming between his Rahu and Ketu. So the only thing that is of concern is his health and I have seen his recent interviews. He is wearing 3 gemstones including Neelam for Saturn, Monga for Mars and Panna for Mercury
So he is taking astrological advice which is very good. In 2018; he ended his 10th house exalted Saturn Mahadasha of 19 years. This is the chart of a survivor and thriver; a person who has not only survived but thrived in the industry, with are very long career spanning 50 plus years.
Right now in his 11th house Mercury mahadasha from 2018 till 2035; due his years of toil that started with his previous Rahu, Jupiter and Saturn mahadasha;s, he has pivoted his career to a place where only name and fame will come. His hard work’s momentum will continue to give him success for life. He will really revel in the success of his five decade plus long career in the film industry. Hence at the age of 71 years; this master craftsman has delivered one of the most famed roles that will live beyond him.
This in a film that will go down in history as one of the most successful films as per me after Sholay.
No wonder Rakesh Bedi and the Producer, Director and Writer (Aditya Dhar) both have Saturn exalted in career related houses.
