Masculine Nativities
Rohini * Brahmi
BPL commentary
For Rohini births of a masculine valence, the condition of reflective, sheltering, undulating, rhythmic, routinized, culturally rooted, boundary-defending, security-seeking, nourishing, parental, matrikaraka Chandra may considerably affect the outcome.
For those born into the paradigm of Soma-ruled Suravi, mother-figures, protectors, guardians, elemental spirits, natural environments, waters, roots, eggs, gardeners, farmers, fisher-folk, caretakers, foundation-builders, police, schoolteachers, parents, providers of nourishment , and defenders of the root culture, may be especially influential.
Guidance for the Rohini-born is provided by instructors from the civilizations of Al-debaran. Their purpose is to sweetly protect , defend, and shelter all the creatures and environments which come under their care.
Praujapatya-born gentlemen are often found in the building arts, in caretaking and protective roles, or in specialties of real-estate and property valuation. Their focus is sustainability . Typically masculine births in Rohini indicate a comfortable, grounded focus into the Shukra-realms of finance, luxury goods, and family treasuries.
All four Rohini pada occur within Vrishabha rashi. Surabhi-born thus express a tension between the materialistic, partnership-driven duality of Zukra versus the emotionally based, need-driven behaviors of Chandra. One needs to be soothed in a sensual fashion.
Rohini marriages and financial partnerships are subject an undulating pattern. They feel affectionate appreciation followed by an urge to careful re-evaluation, like the cycle of high tide and low tide.
Known for their intuitive negotiation and equity-seeking skills, Rohini fellows are found in the worlds of environmental science, real-estate, finance, food, investment, evaluation, collections, and treasuries, with special emphasis on sustainability of nutrient and shelter.
Themes of luxury accommodation, sensual nourishment, family affluence, and personal beauty may contextualize Rohini's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Rohini-Brahmi
QUOTATION from Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra . p 80.
"...a thin person, decidedly underweight,
who has a who has a critical and analytical turn of mind.
His critical attitude toward everything and everybody develops, unless checked,
into a disposition to find fault continually .
He is inordinately fond of the opposite sex
- But although be may at first be blind to the faults of the object of his devotion,
a time will come eventually
when his fault-finding propensities will exert themselves in this direction."

CAREER - SURYA
Vintner Farmer
Pucci 's artistic reputation (7 = 10th-from-10) and political identity (Surya in bhava-7 bandesha) were rooted in his ancestral estate in Tuscany near Fiorenza. In this place he was born, and in this place his family had lived (according to him) for 1000 years. The lineage were originally construction workers (4 construction). They were given land endowments in exchange for their work on the local medieval infrastructure such as defensive walls and stone bridges.
Patriot Defender
In addition to his legendary garment-design career (Zukra) Pucci was an avid vintner of wine grapes grown on his properties (4). EP took care to employ the established local farming families in the operation of his fields. Surya-yuti-Mangala indicates his willingness (Surya) to fight (Kuja) for the homeland. His service to Italy's fascist military may have been misguided, but the sincerity of his patriotism was never questioned. He served as a member of Parliament representing the farmers and artisans of his district for over a decade.

Chandra Mahadasha * age 20.6 until age 30.6
During patriotic Chandra Mahadasha, EP fought to defend (Chandra) Italy in WW-2. However, overwhelmed by the cruelty of the regime including Mussolini's willingness to torture and murder his family members, EP repudiated the fascisti.

Innovative textile fibers + fabrications
Mangala the innovator + Zukra-yuti-Surya
Before entering the world of fashion design, EP had been a championship skier (Mangala). He also served as a WW-2 fighter pilot (Kuja). EP understood the benefits of flexible, sturdy. water-resistant fabrication.
As a fashion designer, Pucci revolutionized the garment manufacturing industry. He began working with new artificial fibers such as nylon and polyester. Originally developed for specialized military-athletic clothing and equipment, these new textiles responded well to the new generation of brightly hued chemical dyes. Pucci was among the first to use the new lab-grown fibers in garments for daily wear.
Mangala in bhava-7 governs
- 7-contracts, trading, legal settlements, deeds of title
- 12-distant lands, sequestered space, isolation, research
- ++ 12th-from-Chandra
- ++ 5th-from-Chandra
7 = 4th-from-4th lands and properties
By the time Pucci inherited his family's estate, the farms were no longer productive. The properties had been ravaged by many decades of neglect. Shani-2 suggests an ancient lineage weakened by time, scarcity, or deprivation.
Vrischika rejuvenating the vinyards
Although wealth was no longer absolutely tied to land ownership by the arrival of Pucci's generation, Surya bandhesha joins Mangala ruler of 4th-from-4th. EP's dynamic and imaginative (12) approach to the conditions of his homeland (Surya rules 4) provided the impetus to rejuvenate the lands (Vrischika). Once the farms were reinvigorated, EP became a respected vintner producing quality wines on his family's agricultural properties
Pucci remained a staunch advocate (7) for local artisans (Zukra) and farmers (4) of his birthland, the ancient Etruscan region.

Two-sided Budha rules
- 2-capital wealth, assets, tradition, color-values, bloodlines, lineage knowledge
- 5 creativity, entitlement, celebrity, drama
- ++ 7th-from-Chandra
- ++ 10th-from-Chandra
CAREER - Budha
Commercial (Budha) production of color-values (2) fashions of the entitled (5) = patterns, garments, ornaments.
Busy Budha rules both 7th-from-Chandra (emotional contracts such as marriage) ++ 10th-from-Chandra = public familiarity. The public generally perceived EP as a businessman + skilled handcraft pattern-cutter. Also because Budha in bhava-6 he was known as a former military fighter pilot (Budha mapping pilot)
Guru * dhava-karaka (husband) * bahuta-karaka (variety)
Atmakaraka globalism, humanism, worldview, expansion, understanding, credenda, ideology
- Guru-Makara-Draco * nichha * understands social structure * numerous law-makers * class-conscious convictions * conventional doctrine * believes in common sense * pragmatic guidance * philosophical realism * diverse social responsibilities * materialistic worldview * faith in hierarchies * preaches about wise governance * widens the scope of bureaucracy
- Guru in bhava-9 * karako bhavo nashto * svabhava * tolerance for diverse doctrines * multiple beliefs * expansive ideology * much sermonizing * broad humanistic understanding * sanctimonious father * multiple father-guru-professor figures * extensive worldview * patron of philosophy * in a wifely nativity, husband-figure may be an ideologue or spiritual guide

Benevolent but Fallen Brihaspati rules Chandra-Dhanuzya ++ Guru rules Meena = Bhava-11 = the defensive, culturally-rooted, seasonal-calendar, routinized, patriotic, ethno-nationalistic, comfort-seeking, home-loving, foundational, property-owning, ethnic 4th-from-Chandra
CAREER - GURU
Pucci used his family's decrepit-but-familiar social rank to build economic connections.
- Nichha-Guru-type behaviors such as misappropriation and tax-avoidance did occur.
- Nichha Guru = Fallen Patrons = appeals to local folk
Brihaspati's role as ruler of 4th-from-Chandra suggests that the local folk (4th) supported EP's land development schemes because they felt a familiarity toward the corrupt-but-comfortable atmakaraka Guru-Makara patronage which had claimed the original medieval land entitlements.
Guru in bhava-9 rules 8 + 11 +++ Guru rules 1 + 4 from Chandra-Dhanuzya
Internationalism
Pucci was an internationalized businessman whose world-traveling began in high school and continued without cease through his international fashion clientele.
Aesthetics more than Finance
EP was an aesthete (Rohini).
He had many fabulously wealthy clients (Zukra-7 trade-exchange with ladies tastes).
- Yet, EP was never a super wealthy individual (HNWI).
- Indeed, had his company not been bought from his daughter by a 75% investor, this world-renowned fashion house would have likely stopped producing income.
Misguided Principles = nichha Guru-9 ideology, beliefs
Many of the development projects (Guru) that Pucci championed seemed misguided (nichha Guru) most notably EP's early and vigorous support for the expansion (Guru) of Fascist Italy.
Yet, Guru's ownership of the philosophical Chandra-Dhanuzya = compensating factor keeping EP closer to his roots. He was not alone ideologically. Most of his fellow citizens supported the fascist regime. EP's nichha-Guru misguidance also formed a bond with local folk (Chandra). Despite the violent collapse of Mussolini's regime, EP's patriotism was benevolently remembered.
During Chandra-Guru bhukti 1937, age 23, Pucci wrote a master's thesis entitled "Fascism: An Explanation and Justification". After supervising the thesis, EP's upset professor expressed profound disagreement with its premises.
Returning to Florence in the subsequent Shani bhukti, Pucci watched his countrymen die from the cruel wartime consequences of Guru's misguided materialism. Pucci stopped publically espousing the Fascist ideology. Guru also rules Meena-11, allowing EP to switch focus away from beliefs and into economic development in the postwar years.

EP generated a large inventory of visionary designs from the recesses of his imagination. Although some of his pigments were derived from the Tuscan traditions, most of the patterns which produced his wealth were boldly imaginary. His use of industrially produced chemical color-dyes for textile printing = both innovative (Kuja) and beautiful (Zukra).

Marriage = yogakaraka Shani-2 in 7th-from-Chandra

Feb-1959 (EP age 45) exchange of marriage vows with Baronessa Cristina Nannini di Casabianca * Rahu-Shani bhukti * Shani rules 7th navamsha
Because his Shani occupies 7th-from-Chandra, her dignity (Shani) stabilized his later life phases.
In a land where old families continue to receive social privilege, considerable respect accrued to his name after marriage.
Using his lifepartner's ancestral status (Shani) to further dignify his name, following the devastating floods in northern Italy, Pucci was able to campaign successfully to achieve global financial support for restoration of damaged local ateliers and artisans.
