Birth time
There is no recognized birth time
for Ronald Reagan. Neither his State of Illinois Birth Certificate nor his family Bible
nor even records of family members mention the time of birth.
The popular tropical astrologer Joan
Quigley determined a birth time of 03h43 after considerable research into
Reagan's family background and life events.
A generalized 0400 birth time in Tampico
Illinois is used in this reading.

RAHU the Amplifier
[Chandra
Bharani = wealth via bearing the load]
The
extraordinary charisma that Reagan sustained from high school until
his retirement, can be largely attributed to Rahu.

Das Goravani says of
Budha yuti
Kuja
"Your intellect and energy have teamed up in this life. You are
not the kind of person who studies without acting, rather what you think
deep inside flows out into your actual activities. This is very good for
things for such activities as sports and other engagements in life which
require good thinking joined with quick deliberate actions. Doctors benefit
from this combination, as do other professions where the person must think
and act on their feet."
"Mars placed in friendly sign will make one protect the wealth of friends."~~ Saravali Ch. 45, shloka 12-14

Salient
features of the nativity
-
Karakamsha =
domain-1 = cult of personality; overall persona = vital, athletic,
iconic -
Lord of Arudha
lagna = domain-9= ideology,belief systems.
(Reagan was the spokesperson for a conservative movement in USA
politics based on principles of anti-accountability, anti-tax, and
pro-plutocracy - mainly successful capitalists who believed in the
superiority of Free Market Economy.) -
lagnesha Guru
= domain-11 marketplace, economy, distributive networks -
L-2/L-3 Shani = communications and wealth = much
amplified via Rahu -
L-7 Budha = consultants and
advisers = in lagna +L-5 Mangala,
beneficial
SURYA and domain-2:
Second
marriage and Reagan's political career
-
Domain-2 representing the second
marriage = 10th-from-Chandra -
Domain-2 representing the second
marriage, contains L-9 Surya who is also L-5 from Chandra -
Ravi = weakened in the rashi
of Ravi's enemy Shani. In Reagan's era, outside the
entertainment industry, divorce was still stigmatized
(especially in politics).Mrs. Nancy Reagan, as the second wife
and herself a divorcee, started their "two-person-career" with a
social handicap (Surya-Makara). -
Surya is nonetheless placed in
10th-from-Chandra and 10th-from-Lord- Shani, receiving drishti of
neechcha Shani (same configuration as Franklin D. Roosevelt) -
Nancy Reagan was an extremely
effective promoter of her husband's career.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of
Reagan's timeline is that he was a professional cinema actor who did not
enter politics until he was 55 years old.
In practice, Jyotisha reveals no
substantial difference between the two courtly performance arts of theatre and
politics.
To succeed in politics at any age, the
native should have strength in domain-5, some charismatic graha in the
lagna, and good influence in the consulting-advising functions of
domain-7. Beyond that, rather little is essentially required to succeed.
Reagan was a gifted entertainer who took direction well; his
wife was an effective socialite who cultivated
high-ranking associations (Surya in 10th from Chandra) for the couple.Throughout his career, Reagan servedas a spokesman for large
corporate interests, which funded his lifestyle and his political
campaigns.
The Throne - and the power behind the
throne
Interestingly, by the age of 55 - an age
when many in his generation were preparing to retire - Reagan had acquired no business
experience. He had been an actor, announcer, and spokesman. Reagan's
very first job in elected politics was governor of
California - a position of considerable responsibility for which he was,
by normal standards, completely unprepared.
Apparently he just continued acting;
and that was all that was required, since the state government was in truth
controlled by
the oil, media, and military-industrialcorporations of the day. With no history of personal engagement in
shaping law and policy, he served as a "spokesman" for the oligarchy. He
was well rewarded (lagnesha Guru in 11, earnings, in a rashi of Shukra,
wealth).
He continued this jovial behavior as a
charming spokesman for national corporations during two wildly popular
terms as USA president, suavely repeating assurances to the little people
that, if most government regulatory agencies were dismantled and most
forms of corporate accountability were erased,prosperity would
follow for all.
As soon as Reagan left office, the trail of
social destruction that "Reaganomics" had created began to appear: massive
unemployment among the working classes, skyrocketing government debt due
to cuts in corporate taxes, a crippled educational system -- and a small
class of fat cats, purring contentedly over their unregulated profits
(neechcha Shani = corrupt government) .
The man
who inherited the mess, Jimmy
Carter, was similarly unprepared -- and although he made a number
of important course corrections to reinstate corporate accountability --
he was naturally blamed for the shambles.
Vimshottari Dasha
Narrative
Surya Mahadasha - approx age 8-14
Chandra Mahadasha - 1925-1935 - age 14-24
Chandra
in Bharani = hard-working,
wealth-accumulating
-
L-8 Chandra occupies a rashi of
Kuja +Kuja in lagna
-
Chandra benefits from the athletic vigor & speech skills of
sportsman-Mars + atmakaraka Mercury -
L-8 provides knowledge of hidden
things, including hidden relationships and secret monies as
components of political life (Chandra in5)
-
Chandra/Ketu
-
Chandra/L-11 Shukra

In domain-5, Chandra brings
celebrity and entertainment; Shukra brings gains of income -

entertainment sports radio announcer (also, Budha talk joins Mangala
sports)

Rahu yuti Chandra, Rahu drishti to
Chandra's lord Mangala = expansion and magnification of L-8, L-5, and
L-12
L-5/ L-12 Mangala Mahadasha -- approx 1935-1942 - age 24-31
L-1/L-8 from Chandra
-
 Reagan's entertainment career started to gain momentum at the onset of
Mangala
Mahadasha, when his radio sports-casting personality became popular and
his voice personality got noticed. -
Mars the athlete-karaka is
dominantly strong by shad-bala.Mars gains strength as
lord of Chandra lagna and in dignity
in radix house-1. Kuja in the very hospitable rashi of friend Guru = positive masculine energy & a sporting, collegial
style. -
Mangala's dispositor Guru occupies the 11th house of
gains of income -
With Budha dominating Kuja by degree,
Reagan has almost miraculous power to communicate entertaining, positive
energy via projected imagery of the silver screen -
Mangala
occupies the 4thdashamsha, where He is again ruled by friend Guru.In dashamsha Mangala shows good fortune through patriotic behaviors.

Budha =
atmakaraka
L-7/L-10 an
exceptionally powerful career graha. -
vargottama atmakaraka Budha,
in domain-1 and 9th navamsha -
Through the auspices of the
second wife, Reagan entered into friendly agreements (7) with numerous
members of the governing elite (10).Starting from
Rahu/Budha period, Reagan's social position increases dramatically,
largely due to his remarkable ability to identify himself with "special interests"
(L-8 Chandra).Rahu gives the results of his lord Mangala who
occupies Dhanusha/lagna. Mangala is highly empowered in lagna and in a
super-friendly rashi. -
Mangala in domain-1
=native is strongly social-personality identified with
the second marriage.
Guru Mahadasha - approx 1960-1976 - age 49-65
-
1967 - 1975 Governor of California -
L-1 (physical body appearance) L-4 (patriotism) Guru =
L-10 navamsha = highly auspicious for a political
career -
Guru = lord of navamsha lagna AND 10th
navamsha (career)
Guru/Budha
-
Budha = L/7 (deals and agreements) +
L-10 (public office, leadership responsibilities) -
however Budha = L-3/L-6 from Chandra
- there must have been some emotional discomfort, perhaps marriage
stress -
1966 wins election to serve as
governor of California
Guru/Rahu
-
1976 presidential bid to gain nomination of the
Republican Party -
failed attempt, at the tail end of
Guru/Rahu = final bhukti of
the mahadasha = "exhaustion"
Shani Mahadasha - approx 1976-1995 - age 65-84
L-2/L-3 from Dhanusha lagna; L-10/L-11 from Chandra
-
World leaders typically own a highly
capable Shani, which encourages them to accept broad responsibilities. -
Shani periods deliver great responsibility - whether or not the
individual is prepared to handle it. -
Shani with the nodes can give a
terrible power and crushing responsibilities.
Shani/
L-7/L-10 Budha
-
period of L-10 = 1980, wins election to serve as
USA President #40
-
atmakaraka vargottama Budha does it
again! -
5/9 angle from Shani to Budha is
highly auspicious for political success. -
However he lacks personal control over the election
process, becoming somewhat of a puppet due to the
degrading influence of debilitated Shani.
-
Shani by his nature is
punitive, uncompassionate, socially conservative going back to
blood-tribe justice, staunchly traditional
ist,
favoring caste systems and violent oppression of disorder. -
Conservative Republic
Reagan was swept into political power (5) on a "conservative backlash"
following the arch-liberal presidency of Jimmy
Carter. -
True Gaja Kesari yoga,
the normal result of Chandra-Guru opposition in friendly signs
receiving benefic aspect, would make a religious scholar and a pure
heart.That is not possible in this planetary situation due to
this unfortunate Shani -
Being age 69-77 during the eight years of his presidency, his emotional,
mental, and spiritual maturity (Shani) would have been an asset to Reagan.
L-2 Shani / L-7 Budha =Death
-
whilst
Ketu/Rahu transited the death axis 2/8, Reagan was shot at close range on on
30-Mar-1981 by John Hinckley. -
Budha-Dhanusha has a
wonderful sense of humor. Theformer cowboy shoot-out actor said
to his wife Nancy, "Honey I forgot to duck."
Budha
Mahadasha - approx 1994 - death - age 84-94
L-7 / L-10 from lagna; L-3 - L-6 from
Chandra
-
Budha/Budha 1995 Reagan
retired from public life and his family announced that he was suffering from
Alzheimer's disease (L-6 from Chandra).
-
conversation-karaka Budha yuti
L-12-lord Kuja
= seclusion in a healing sanctuary. -
Budha contributed great strength to Kuja mahadasha, but L-12 Kuja
encloses the native during Budha mahadasha.
-
Budha/Mangala - Death
by pneumonia June 5, 2004 - at home, surrounded by his loving family.
