Oprah Winfrey Jyotisha Vedic Astrology radix navamsha charts


L-3/L-4 Shani mahadasha:
Shani/Kuja through Shani/Rahu:

After being birthed by a teenage unwed mother who soon left for the North, Winfrey's first six years were spent on the impoverished Mississippi farm of her grandparents. Winfrey credits her grandmother's faith in her ability for much of her adult self-confidence to cross many barriers and accomplish her goals.

  • Uchcha L-3/L-4 Shani = every variety of advertising, marketing, sales, and business communication skills. Some loss of formal education through strong focus on pragmatic work skills in the communications industry (3)

  • Rahu in domain-3 gives extraordinary desire for success in commerce, communications media

  • Uchcha Shani in domain-12 for extraordinary discipline and commitment to social justice in communications media (3) and personal security (4)

Winfrey also describes a harsh and what would now be considered abusive level of punishment, along with severe poverty, in her early years.

  • L-6 Mangala for poverty, exploitation, social conflict, and servitude/slavery; with Chandra, the mother (grandmother)


L-8/L-11 Budha mahadasha:

  • Age 7-24 (approx, considering approx birth time)Budha/Budha through Budha/Surya:Winfrey reports an era of success in school but persistent sexual abuse from male relatives.

  • L-8 Budha for sexuality in domain-3 for relatives. Rahu in this cluster gives destruction of culture boundaries. With L-10 Surya, some need to maintain respectable reputation.

  • With L-6 for exploitation and uncle + L-11 for elder brother/cousin as the agents of the sexual abuse.

  • L-10 Budha for public success, in domain-2 for speech, brings exotic beauty through attractive bone structure with Shukra + Rahu, and L-9 Surya in domain-2 while in a weak rashi is auspicious for speech and face as expressions of good fortune.

Budha/L-10 Surya = childbirth. L-10 is not favorably disposed for children Budha/L-9 Chandra = move to home of her father age 14-15 = sudden, forced changes of L-8

  • his change however difficult bears reasonably good fruit due to Chandra-Mangala yoga between L-8 Chandra and L-5/L-12 Kuja. This period may have felt imprisoning, but L-5 Kuja brings creative self-expression esp. in Politics, Competitions, and Drama.

Budha/Rahu = Miss Black Tennessee, showcasing Winfrey's poise and beauty.

  • Rahu + Shukra + L-9 Surya + L-10 Budha.

  • Her exotic/drama personality and speech skills attract radio news work,

Budha/L-2/L-3 uchcha Shani = education ends (L-3)

  • move to new city Baltimore for professional advancement (Shani in 11) in communications work (3) through speech and face (2)

  • uchcha L-11 for friendship, establishes Life Friendship


Ketu mahadasha:

  • Age 24-31 (approx, considering approx birth time)Ketu gives effect of neechcha L-8, Lord Chandra;Ketu periods evoke wandering, weak boundaries, and disconnected uncertainty

  • neechcha Chandra in domain-12 of private imagination and sanctuary; can produce obsessions

  • however Chandra is also engaged in Chandra-Mangala yoga, so a performance career moves forward slowly under power of L-5

  • Ketu also receives drishti from Rahu, Shukra, Budha, Surya and Shani -- so Ketu is not without structure, energy, and initiative!

  • Ketu/ L-2-L-3 uchcha Shani = move to Chicago TV

  • Almost immediate improvement from a failing TV talk-show, starts to get market share from the competition

  • Shani casts a auspicious, speech-face-and-self-wealth drishti upon Ketu

  • Ketu/L-10 Budha = career development on an upward trajectory


L-7/L-12 Shukra mahadasha:

  • Age 31-51 (approx, considering approx birth time)

Shukra/Shukra =

  • establishes Life Partnership

  • Syndication of TV show brings era of expansion and prosperity

Shukra/L-4 Guru =

  • Book Club, L-4 for Education; Guru in Shukra's house-6 = Guru = 4th-from-Shukra

  • G uru in domain-6 = criminal lawsuits. Oprah was sued by the cattleman's association for defaming infected beef. She was judged not guilty.

  • The period of Shukra + any graha in 4th-from-Shukra is always difficult, even when Shukra owns the 4th-from-Shukra domain.

Shukra/L-11 Shani =

  • Angel Network, L-2 in domain-11 = funding for achievement of goals


L-10 Surya mahadasha:

  • Age 51-57 (approx, considering approx birth time)

Period of L-10 is generally auspicious for leadership responsibilities and public respect

L-10 Surya in 8th-from-Swakshetra and weak in Makara; results are somewhat limited. Surya/Rahu

  • = massive charitable investment in a comprehensive residential school for orphaned So African girls;

  • Rahu = foreign influences, in domain-2 for family of origin, values, saved money, and historical lineage

  • Rahu gives effect of the hugely profitable and achievement-oriented uchcha Shani in domain-11 for global networks

Surya/L7-L-12 Shukra

  • =projected end of TV contract, her age = approx 57


L-9 Chandra mahadasha:

  • Age 57-67 (approx, considering the approximated birth time)

  • = probably retirement and extreme good fortune

  • Chandra in radix and neechcha, although energized by performance-imagination Kuja

  • Extremely powerful Chandra-Mangala Yoga


Death in a future bhukti of Shani, caused by imbalance of the endocrine gland system (Chandra = L-8 in domain-12 for sexual-reproductive system + "waters" of the physical body = glandular system)
