Rising Nakshatra Feminine Nativities BPL commentary For Rohini births in the feminine 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 Soma-ruled paradigm of 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 ladies are often found in the domestic arts, in caretaking and protective roles, or in specialties of home decor and property valuation. Their purpose is calming. Typically, feminine births in Rohini indicate a comfortable, grounded focus into the realms of beauty, banking, luxury goods, and family lineage treasuries. All four pada occur within Vrishabha rashi. Surabhi-born thus express a tension between the materialistic, partnership-driven duality of Shukra versus the emotionally based, need-driven behaviors of Chandra. One seeks to be cared for in a sensual fashion. Known for their intuitive negotiation and equity-seeking skills, Rohini ladies are found in the worlds of finance, food, fashion, investment, evaluation, collections, and treasuries, with special emphasis on real-estate and jewelry. Themes of luxury accommodation, sensual nourishment, family affluence, and personal beauty may contextualize Rohini's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Rohini-Aldebaran

Salient features of the nativity
Surya * pitri-karaka (father) * jyoti-karaka (light)
FATHER Dad = Riccardo Scicolone, a construction worker. According to SL's autobiography, SL met her father a total of three times. Although Dad was the father of Sofia and her younger sister Maria, the Dad would not marry her mom. Shani-yuti-Rahu in pitristhana = mutual drishti with nichha-Kuja-yuti-Ketu-3 suggests a permanent tension in the father's character, and in SL's character as well. Like everything in SL's media-promotional story (3), the paternal abandonment may have been exaggerated (Rahu-9) CAREER - Surya Surya in bhava-5 drama Surya-yuti-Budha drama Chandra * matrikaraka (mother) * garha-karaka (village)
MOTHER Mom = Romilda Villani (1910–1991) Many of SL's roles have a mother-daughter element, reflecting the influence of her her aspiring-actress mother. Maternal Grandmother It was a sadly common story among Italian women, starving and their houses bombed, to resort to prostitution during the war. SL's grandmother ran a private lounge popular with American GI's. SL was sent to her grandparents' home for safety during war years. Maternal Grandparents = 4th-from-Chandra-10 = Urisha indriya-lagna = indriya lagna (bodily baseline) When Chandra activates nichha-Mangala-yuti-Ketu located in 6th-from-Chandra, both of the parents may become desapparacidos. Raised in poverty during the extremes of the losing side of WorldWar-2, SL would have felt the conflict, both personally, and through emotional awareness of the turmoil afflicting both of her parents. Part of her drive to succeed in her own way on her own terms is likely accountable to the tensions and undependable behaviors of her caretakers [Karkata]. MARRIAGE partnership emotional equity support expectations They met when SL = 16 ++ Ponti = 38 marriage 1
marriage-2
yuvati-pati nichha-Kuja-yuti-Ketu adds complexity to the pattern of must-let-go (Ketu) ++ cannot-let-go (Aśleṣa Kuja) The first ceremony, a marriage-by-double-proxy with two attorneys standing-in for the husband-and-wife. This expedient legitimation device had been used through the centuries to formalize royal marriages. The method was anciently recognized by the Roman-rite Catholic Church. Yet, the proxy marriage was adjudged in Italy as an act of bigamy for Ponti, and the contract was later annulled. CAREER - CHANDRA Chandra activates Karkata Svamsha Chandra in classroom-10 rules Karkata (Aśleṣa) Svamsha suggesting a widely recognized "familiar face" Chandra activates 3 = media communications, tabloid press, photographs, cinema, commercial business, manufacturing (eyewear) Kuja * bhratru-karaka (brother) * virya-karaka (virile)
Remarkable Mangala outcomes * Mangala-Karkata won't let go Constant physical tension due to Shani-Makara-Draco-9 in mutual drishti with Mangala-Karkata-3 CAREER-Mangala Mangala in bhava-3 media communications Mangala-Karkata * nichha-3 + uttama-Kuja-7 activates Vrischika 10th-from-Chandra. Although personally exhausting (Ketu) the public fixation (Aśleṣa-Kuja) on her private life was enduring. SL career was built not only upon her legendary cinematic drama skills, but also upon the decades of tabloid press photo-stories featuring her enduring affair with Ponti, her glamorous Hollywood co-stars, her spectacular home near Roma, and her family life. SL's passionate marriage story was legend in the tabloid press of the 1950's and 1960's. In Roman-Catholic Italy, divorce was strictly illegal. The couple met when SL = 16 and Ponti = 38. At time of the tabloid celebrated double-proxy marriage in 1957, Sophia 23 + Carlo 45. Age gap accounted via her Karkata (Aśleṣa) Svamsha. SL's romance with the married cinema director Carlo Ponti, who tried and failed to extract a divorce from his legal wife, caused a lasting public furor. Nichha-Mangala-yuti-Ketu-3 (newspapers) indicates the passive-aggressive (Aśleṣa) conduct of the tabloid photographers and journalists who hounded her, seeking fuel for shaming-scandal. Ketu themes of divorce, betrayal, and disregard for bourgeoise morality fueled her publicity engine. At a time of social change, the working class, tabloid-reading public was gripped by SL's relatable story of entrapment by outdated rules (nichha-Kuja) SL = cultural icon Chandra-10 rules nichha-Mangala-yuti-Ketu-3 An unwitting icon of public discourse in the Euro-western cultures, in a business where "there's no such thing as bad publicity", the drama of age difference, bigamy, divorce, and passion was endlessly popular. In 1950's North America, divorce was still scandalous, legally difficult, and usually it victimized women. By the 1960's, many jurisdictions had introduced no-fault divorce, eliminating court trials, and divorce began to lose its social stigma. By the time SL was legitimately married and the mother of two sons with her beloved Carlo, the divorce stigma had significantly faded from many Euro cultures. Budha * jamayah-karaka (sibling) * sandeza-karaka (message) * zisya-karaka (student)
dhana-yoga via Budha eyes -face - glamour - diva Surya-yuti-Budha -uttama * Budha-5 rules 2 +5 SL has earned a substantial fortune by using her cinema-earned capital to invest in luxury-goods businesses (Budha commerce). Budha-Kanya * uttama grants financial + computational capabilities. Uttama-Budha = accurate, discriminating mentality. In addition to her dramatic talents and sensual appearance, SL = notoriously smart. Budha Mahadasha * age 52.2 until age 69.2 Most of SL's public visibility was connected with her highly successful eyewear business during her age 52-69. While making celebrity appearances, SL always wore the newest edition of her enduringly popular ladies' fashion-frames. She professionally modeled many of her products. Budha-Kanya * uttama rules 2-eyes ++ karakamsha bhava-5 = 3rd-from-3rd shop-keeping enterprise. Her eyeglass-frames business was an commercial success, providing durable, high-fashion spectacles for the first time to the international women's market. Other popular selling included perfumes and jewelry items (Budha-5 glamour). Guru * dhava-karaka (husband) * bahuta-karaka (variety)

SL recounted that Carlo Ponti promised to buy her the most beautiful house in Italy. Their estate outside of Roma was photographed by the celebrity press, and SL declared her deep happiness there. Appearance lagnesha Shukra-Singha = usually coppery skin + golden glowing appearance SLr striking visage contradicted the petite, slender, NW-Euro type. Considered unusually tall at 69 inches (5-foot-9) SL had a coppery complexion [Simha] + beautifully arranged large bones. Her physical beauty was accompanied by a variety of entertainment talents [Simha] including a capable singing voice (Purvaphalguni Svamsha) . Shani duro-karaka (endurance) * jara-karaka (years) Atmakaraka endurance, stamina, maturity, dignity, lawfulness, scarcity, delays, respect for elders, regulations, normalcy, class-consciousness
CAREER - SHANI Extraordinary trouble with Church authorities. Shani-yuti-Rahu-9 engaged in mutual drishti with nichha-Mangala-yuti-Ketu-3 predicts an emotional-social experience that would
Shani-9 produces persistence while under pressure from the patriarchal order. Constant physical tension due to Shani-Makara-Draco-9 in mutual drishti with Mangala-Karkata-3 Since CP was previously married and the laws [Shani] of the nation of Italy did not permit legal divorce in those days, they both risked homeland prosecution for bigamy. Although patriotic Italians, they were forced to live outside of Italy. Although their careers both flourished as a result of the publicity, SL was promoted as a scandalous vixen and subject of tabloid fodder for many years. SL recounted her great unhappiness due to Church interference in her love-life during the end of Rahu Mahadasha age 16-20. = 3-9 axis in the unhappy 6-12 angle from her lagnesha Shukra-4.

Sophia was mainly raised under the roof of her maternal grandparents. Boundaries were broken by a profusion of various impoverished relatives. (Ketu + nichha Mangala-in 12th-from-4 erodes security) The onset of war [Kuja] destroyed food and water resources. SL recounted that as a child she slept in a bedroom with eight other people. Her mother siphoned car radiators to obtain water for the children. The violence of World-War-2 in Italy did support the trade of her musical mother and grandmother. They provided comforting entertainments for gentlemen soldiers. Yet Sophia was never abandoned. Three generations of women worked together in poverty and violence to survive and thrive. Career begins age 17 Also, Rahu-Urisha * uttama in 10th navamsha also indicates exceptional roles in pleasure-and-beauty. SL's refined products are generally oriented to women (jewelry, eyeglasses, perfumes).
