Maldives president Maumoon Abdul Gayoom has successfully escaped assassination attempt by a man with knife, with help of a scout boy on 8th January 2008 at Hoarafushi in northern Maldives. When he was shaking hands with his supporters, a young man tried to stab him with a large kitchen knife. This is second attempt at world politics level. Just few days back Benazir Bhutto’s assassination has shook the world.
Maumoon Abdul Gayoom’s Surya Kundli
Maumoon Abdul Gayoom is born on 29th December 1937. His time of birth is not available so Ganesha has casted his Surya Kundli. Following are Natal and Transiting planetary positions.
| Natal Planet | Natal Planet in Sign | Transiting Planet | Transiting Planet in Sign |
| Sun | Sagittarius | Sun | Sagittarius |
| Moon | Scorpio | Moon | Sagittarius |
| Mars | Aquarius | Mars (Retrograde) |
Gemini |
| Mercury | Sagittarius (Retrograde) |
Mercury | Capricorn |
| Jupiter | Capricorn | Jupiter | Sagittarius |
| Venus | Sagittarius | Venus | Scorpio |
| Saturn | Pisces | Saturn (Retrograde) |

Ganesha observes that Maumoon Abdul Gayoom has Sun, Venus and Retrograde Mercury in Sagittarius. On the day assassination was attempted, transiting Mars was retrograde at around 3 degrees in Gemini. Transiting Moon was also in Sagittarius so there was opposition of Moon and Mars. Ganesha notes that Mars rules weapons, iron, explosions and denotes aggression too. Mars opposition Moon along with Moon’s transit over Natal Sun was acting very powerfully on the day of event. This is the root cause why there was an attempt to kill him with knife. Ganesha finds that transiting Jupiter is also passing through Sagittarius at present, over his Natal Sun, Venus and Mercury so despite Mars’ powerful opposition aspect, he was saved with the blessing of beneficial planet Jupiter.
Future prediction about Maumoon Abdul Gayoom
Maumoon Abdul Gayoom will have to take good care of health and also beware of assassination attempts till 28th April 2008, while Mars operates in Gemini. Again with Mars’ transit through Sagittarius in December 2008 and January 2009, he will have to be careful of such attacks. Still, because Jupiter remains in Sagittarius in April 2008, he will not have to worry much, there is no danger to his life out of illness or attack. However, the second phase in December 2008 and January 2009 seems to bring a turning point in his overall life as he will also be entering Jupiter Return phase around that time.
Good luck and may Lord Ganesha bless Maumoon Abdul Gayoom save him from such attacks.
With Ganesha’s Grace,
