The primary players are the DMK-led front headed by M. K. Stalin (Aquarius Moon), the AIADMK led by Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS) (Taurus Moon), and the new wildcard TVK, founded by actor Vijay (Cancer Moon). The DMK's strength is its deep cadre and stable allies, while the AIADMK's viability depends on its alliance pact-making. The TVK's role is that of a variance amplifier, with immense media attention but unproven booth-level conversion.

Transits during the April-May 2026 period are dynamic for all. For the DMK, Jupiter shifting to the 5th from Stalin's Moon sparks youth creativity and Saturn in the 2nd solidifies alliance resources. For the AIADMK, Saturn in the 11th from EPS's Moon yields financial gains.

Critically, the new TVK leader, Vijay, has Jupiter entering the 1st on his Moon, amplifying emotional magnetism, and Saturn in the 9th bringing debut luck. The result is likely a fragmented tableau with no outright victor. The transits personalise the disruption from the new entrant while favouring the resource depth of the largest bloc, suggesting the final resolution will require coalitions.
