Let us see this horoscope of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. 

Mahatma Gandhi Kundali by Astrovidya famous astrologer Saurin Dave

Mercury, Venus and Mars in the first house gave him intense focus and very sharp determination. Venus is in his own house and is the first house; this is MALAVYA YOGA, this makes him passionat, possessive, aggressive and intense dealer. Saturn in 2nd house makes him devoid of riches and family life and enjoyment. Moon is in his own house and in 10th house makes him a ruler of the hearts and minds of millions of people; the jupiter and moon creats 1:10 position in kendra, which is very rare GAJKESRI YOGA. He was proud, fierce in his actions, and public leadership and support. Jupiter in 7th gives him philosophical attitude and spiritual excellence.

Mars in Lagnam makes him a fierce fighter for freedom and opponent to oppressive rulers (British). Jupiter, Venus and Mercury are in kendra houses. Jupiter and Mercury are in, for them, neutral houses, but as all these three planets are either in conjunction with each other, or aspected by benefices, the SARASWATI YOGA in his chart is powerful. He is highly learned and his books are widely read and well-respected.  Ketu in 4th house causes his mother’s death and he could not earn any lands or houses or properties for his own-self. He even sacrificed his earnings and own possessions. Mars is the lord of two death-causing houses 2nd and 7th and is in birth-lagnam. So he was assassinated and he died wounds caused by a weapon (fire-arm; pistol) on Jan-31-1948.

There is no planet on either side of the houses where moon is located, which is a very bad KEMDRUM YOGA, because of this he don't have any big property and he has to spent his life with poor people (sacrifice his life)
