Top Indian astrologers say the planets have clearly made up their mind: John Kerry will win. Soothsayers say that planets governing President George W Bush are eclipsed and in an uncomfortable position.
That makes his tenure controversial and his re-election bid unsuccessful.
On the other hand, the planets of Democratic challenger Senator John Kerry are in the ascendant, ensuring him success in competitions.
"Saturn, which is the lord of health and fortune for President Bush, has been eclipsed by the sun, which is unfortunate and gives him a clear defeat," Lachhman Das Madan, editor of a popular astrology magazine, said.
"Kerry will win," Mr Madan, who is also known as "the emperor of astrologers", said.
"It is cosmic writ that George W Bush cannot become president of United States again."
Ajai Bhambi, a senior astrologer and author of several books on the science of predictions, agreed.
"Kerry is likely to beat Bush in the final verdict," he told the New Indian Express newspaper.
