QUOTATION from: Shil-Ponde.(1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra . p 80
BPL commentary:
For Mriga-sirasa natives, the condition of pioneering, direct, yang-energy, forward-pushing bhratru-karaka Mangala considerably affects the outcome.
Brother-figures, warriors, hunters, athletes, dancers, champions, challengers, inventors, explorers, dis-coverers, engineers, drivers, drillers, diggers, exploders, aggressors, pursuers, and competitions and battles may be especially influential.
Instructional guidance from the civilizations of Orion.
"Unless other testimonies in the chart predominate to modify the effect of Mraga rising,
these people may be very unpleasant characters.
They are inclined to be misanthropic in their attitude toward life and people.
They seem always to see the worst side of people and of conditions.
They are suspicious of other peoples' motives
and even vicious at times.
Unless checked, these thoughts will lead to vicious action
and they can be quite dangerous to others whom they dislike.
Possibly this attitude is caused and aggravated by some permanent organic disability
which is usually the lot of those who are born with Mraga rising."

Surya rules 10th navamsha containing Mangala+Surya+Guru = career in politics, philosophy, entertainment, drama
Goethe was a man-about-town in Weimar, which was in his day a legendary social-intellectual capital. Weimar attracted talented people from throughout Europe. Goethe was born into the privileged classes and he held professional roles as a high-ranking court officer
Throughout his life, Goethe needed to negotiate a very challenging combination of a super-strong creative-administrative Surya-3 and a super-strong governing-secretive Shani in 3rd-from-3rd. These graha facilitate writing and publishing, but as adversarial rulers of 3-8-9 they also impose several groups of incompatible, competing responsibilities.
FATHER
Dad was a town manager (Budha); Surya in bhava-3 management. vargottamsha Surya in navamsha-10 shows his father as a recognized leader and politician. Surya-3 amplified by drishti from Rahu-7 = attorney father documenter and report-writer, and an imposing influence upon Goethe.
A burning-strong Simha Surya in bhava-3 receiving the incoming drishti from Rahu-Dhanuzya-7 made Goethe a famous and prolific writer. His literary writings were continuously popular from in his own day without lapse until the present time.
Surya-yuti-Budha-3 shows Goethe's own capacity for administration-management.
Chandra * matrikaraka * garha-karaka
- Chandra in classroom-9 * comfort in doctrine, philosophy, globalism
- Chandra-Kumbha * comforted by rhythmic pulsing network linkage
- Chandra in Purvabhadrapada pada 1-2-3 * comforted by expansive understanding * protectors of philosophical caretaking, charitable parenting, shelter for teachers, broad perspective on human needs
Chandra-Kumbha atmakaraka. Goethe was not only a scientist (Kumbha) and philosopher; he was also the songwriter of numerous bawdy German folk melodramas (Chandra) that were wildly popular and performed in village taverns.
Many of his dramatic works are written for an earthy, non-literate audience. These comic-tragic tales of village life provided him with extra income (11) beyond his court-issued executive salary.
Chandra rules-2 folkways. Goethe wrote countless bawdy tavern songs, and more formal lyrical poems too. Goethe was a serious scholar in many fields, but in addition he was said to be a chatterbox (also talkative Surya-Budha-3), showing delight in spoken language, dialect pronunciations, and local twang.
Marriage alliance
Johanna Christiana Sophie Vulpius was born in Weimar, 01-June-1765 and died in Weimar 06-June-1816 (her age 51). Christine was the non-exclusive life-partner and after 14-Oct-1806 the legal wife of Johann Wolfgang Goethe; she was the mother of his five born children (only one child survived to adulthood).
- In a husbandly nativity, kalatra-karaka nichha-Zukra suggests some illness or servitude of the spouse and generally imbalance-seeking-a-remedy in marriage
- 7th-from-Chandra-7 is bhava-3 containing Budha-Simha yuti Surya-Simha suggesting that Christina deeply supported Goethe's (creativity (Simha) and love of entertainments (Simha) including his numerous romantic endeavors
- Goethe referred to Christina as his muse. He found her irreplaceable, and was not concerned with public opinion about her social status.
Kuja * bhratru-karaka * virya-karaka
- Mangala-Dhanuzya * vigorous pursuit of humanistic worldview; push toward globalism
- Mangala in bhava-7 * drive toward bargaining, pursuit of agreement, invasive negotiation, energized contractual conquests
- Kuja-yuti-Rahu * energized pretense, dynamic desires, masculine force joins opportunistic ambition
The powerful pair Mangala-yuti-Rahu in the emotionally motivated community-linking, economically gainful, profit-regulated, friendly, participatory, goal-oriented, socially-networked 11th-from-Chandra shows that Goethe's brotherly (Kuja) friendship with Karl August, Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenac provided most of his income (11) and opportunities (Rahu) via administrative and executive appointments to various government ministries. Karl August's belief (Dhanusya) in Goethe's wide-ranging talents allowed Goethe to rise both socially and financially.
yogakaraka + Mangala-Dhanuzya* Mangala in bhava-5 rules 4 and 9. Although Mangala-Dhanushya will generally bring the energetic, dynamic movement of Mangala into the world of creative literature and celebrity politics (5), in his capacity as ruler of bandhu-4 Mangala also allows the excitement of home-invasion (1806) by French soldiers
Budha * bandhava-karaka * zisya-karaka
Budha-3 writing rules Karakamsha = bhava-1 personality (eccentric due to Ketu-1)
- Budha-Simha * dramatic communications, articulation of bright celebrity entitlements
- Budha in bhava-3 * narrative of management, reporting, cohort, siblings, instructions, announcements, publication, explanations, lyrics
- Budha-yuti-Surya * articulation of radiant confidence, message of willpower and charisma
writing, messaging, lyrics, communications, reports, announcements, documentation
- Budha rules self-home 1-4 from Mithunaya lagna
- Budha rules creative-secretive 5-8 from Kumbha-Chandra
Guru * dhavakaraka * bahuta-karaka
- Guru-Meena * much guidance, many imaginings, many dreams, intuitive beliefs, doctrine of astral guidance
- Guru in bhava-10 * many public roles, much leadership, numerous recognized teachings, much respect
Guru Mahadasha * age birth until 5.8
- Guru rules career 7-10 from Mithunaya lagna
- Guru rules gainful 2-11 from Kumbha-Chandra
Guru-Meena expansion rules 7-diplomacy * Guru occupies 10-career. Among his other skills, Goethe was a professional diplomat and representative of the royal court
Goethe was a polymath with a stunning variety of artistic and legal talents.. Guru-10 is a public figure renowned for their wisdom, philosophy, teaching, and numerous diverse expressions of understanding. Goethe demonstrated his genius via an astounding variety of connected fields of study.
According to wikipedia, these included "epic and lyric poetry written in a variety of metres and styles; prose and verse dramas; memoirs; an autobiography; literary and aesthetic criticism; treatises on botany, anatomy, and colour; and four novels. In addition, numerous literary and scientific fragments, more than 10,000 letters, and nearly 3,000 drawings by him are extant."
Zukra * svadhu-karaka * kalatra-karaka
- Zukra-Kanya * nichha * appreciation of service -or- victimization, pleasures of medication, aesthetic of remedies for injustice
- Zukra-4 * digbala * pleasure of home-based routines; enjoys domestic equity, appreciation of owned properties
- Zukra in the secretive the revolutionary, emotionally turbulent, perpetually transformative, trauma-inducing 8th-from-Chandra
His amorous lifestyle was accepted by his peers. Zukra-Kanya suggests marriage with a servant. His wife Christine Vulpius was a strong and capable housekeeper. She boasted neither social nor intellectual pretensions.
An earthy woman who was a house-servant and artist's nude model, Christine was apparently very strong. Goethe boasted to everyone that she had counter-attacked marauding soldiers who threatened their home and their children (Rahu-Mangala-7 strong wife). Despite Christine hailing from a much lower (considered vulgar) upbringing, after 19 years of being unlicensed lovers, Goethe married her (his age 57).
Zukra in the secretive,revolutionary, emotionally turbulent, perpetually transformative, trauma-inducing 8th-from-Chandra . Goethe's socially conscious mother (Chandra in 9) was horrified and died soon after their wedding. They remained married until Christine's own death ten years later.
Nichha-Zukra-4 rules dharmesha Shani-5 uttama Arudha lagna
Zukra rules 5-creativity, royal entitlements * 12-bedroom liaison, invisible activities, imagination, insight
Nichha-Zukra * Despite his dignified job and high-placed friends, Goethe was prone to writing and enacting bawdy musical melodrama; he broke marriage-engagement contracts; consorted with ladies of various reputation; and he was generally a man-about-town.
His amorous affairs and in particular his marriage to a servant woman (Kanya) caused consternation among his bourgeois peerage. However Goethe's literary reputation has steadily increased over the centuries, due mainly to Shani-uttama-5 which maintains the appreciation value of creative works.
Perhaps because during the intervening two centuries, science has advanced while basic human consciousness has not, Goethe's drama and poetry have outperformed his scientific works over time. Yet even the older scientific drawings are still admired for their detailed accuracy and stylistic beauty.
Shani * duro-karaka * jara-karaka
- Shani-Thula * uttama * old agreements, pressured kidney-pancreas, imposed agreements, must trade, must negotiate with scarce resources
- Shani in Bhava-5 * must create drama with scarce confidence; cautious of politics, conventional intelligence; heavy weight of children; chronic pressure on the heart
Randhresha Shani-5 is stressful for children. Goethe had five children with Christine Vulpius, but only their eldest son survived to adulthood.
Goethe's son Julius August Walther von Goethe was born in 1789 (Goethe's age 40). Goethe's marriage to his son's mother Christine Vulpius occurred in 1806 (Goethe's age 57). His son was obliged to live with the bourgeois stigma of illegitimacy for seventeen years. Yet Shani is exalted, and the senior Goethe arranged favorable positions for the junior Goethe.
Goethe's son predeceased him.
Enduring Literary Legacy
Most of Goethe's literary oeuvre is still in print, 250 years after he wrote it. His poetic writings continue to influence the minds of each new generation of dedicated readers. Goethe - especially Faust - is read by university students and by intellectuals who specialize in the study of European culture. It is common to hear non-German intellectuals say that they undertook the study of the German language solely for the purpose of reading Goethe!
However not everyone is equally enamored of Goethe's style. The American leader POTUS-03 Declaration of Independence 1743-1826 Thomas Jefferson was a contemporary of Goethe, and Jefferson had traveled in Germany. Replying to a peer who asked whether he had read Goethe, Jefferon reportedly said, "Never!"
- Goethe's style and ideals provided a major influence upon the work of Knowledge of Higher Worlds 1861-1925 Rudolf Steiner who was the founder of Anthroposophy.
Goethe was a dignified agent of the social order, and his governance duties in the Weimar Republic were a source of public recognition and respect.
Goethe was proudest of his scientific writings and his laborious, detailed scientific schematics (Shani-5 scientific scholarship). However, these writings and drawings were contextualized by the limited (Shani) knowledge of his era and most are no longer used as scientific references. However, they are valued as fascinating evidence of the unfolding history of 18th century scientific thought.
uttama-Shani rules 9 * Shani occupies 5
Goethe expressed well developed, fairly-well evidenced, opinions on politics, literature, science, and philosophy. Some of his extensive scientific study is outdated, but much of it is still respected as a paragon of creative (5 creative) discipline (Shani discipline) for its time.
Rahu * rajyalobha-karaka * picchala-karaka (slippery)
- Rahu-Dhanuzya * mask of global humanistic belief
- Rahu in bhava-7 * privilege via glamorous or unusual arrangements, amplified alliances, marriages, vows, agreements; seeks a special, important, brokerage role in non-standard negotiations, deal-making, match-making, contracts, and trusts. Opportunistic, ambitious partners.
- Kuja-yuti-Rahu * * amplified competition, exotic pursuits, tricky innovation, opportunistic brother-warriors
The powerful pair Mangala-yuti-Rahu = bhava-7 agreements-trusts-contracts ++ reinforced emotionally in tthe emotionally motivated community-linking, economically gainful, profit-regulated, friendly, participatory, goal-oriented, socially-networked 11th-from-Chandra
This double signification indicates the lasting influence of Goethe's well-placed friends. His most powerful relationship, a sincere peer friendship and advocate arrangement with Duke Karl-August the ruler of Weimar, created remarkable opportunities for Goethe.
These dynamic (Kuja) opportunities connected Goethe to a network of ambitious, philosophical young men and thus his ability to realize his diverse ambitions extended far beyond what would normally be allowed for a young middle-class attorney from a non-aristocratic family
Ketu * kavandha-karaka * chidra-karaka
- Ketu in classroom-1 * disregards identity boundaries, absent from body, other-defined chameleon, irrelevance of the personality
- Ketu-Mithunaya * incomplete message, empty conversation, dissolute signals
Goethe Narcissist aged 26 in 1775, painted by Georg Melchior Kraus
