Rising Nakshatra Masculine Nativities Pashu * Pushana-vana *Antyabha BPL commentary For Revatika births of a masculine valence, the condition of conversational, discursive, explanatory, instructional, argumentative, commercializing, evangelical Kumara may considerably affect the outcome. Pashu the Pastor is delicately attuned to the signals of the animal kingdom. Hearing [Budha] the voices of mineral, plant, animal, and human worlds, Antyabha-born often work for the welfare of all creatures. Many veterinarians and animal-welfare activists are Revatika-born. These way-showers are also found in all aspects of music and dancing, producing melodies, beats, and lyrics. Whatever the Pashu folk say, others will follow and believe. For those born into the Budha-ruled paradigm of Antyabha, siblings, cousins, schoolmates, bandmates, team-mates, entourage, ensemble, neighbors, managers, cohort, coterie, collaborative group, publishers, messengers, merchants, commercial agents, reporters, writers, scripts, plans, schedules, instructions, radio-television-internet, news-media, conferences, committees, discussions, travel itineraries, and texts -- and beasts of every description - may be especially influential. Instructional guidance is provided by emissaries from the civilizations of stars clustered near Zeta Piscium. Their purpose is to shepherd the flocks in safe passage, calling them to follow with an imaginative, sweet sound and rhythm The Way-Shower Revatika expresses the natural tension between Busy Bantering Budha and Guiding Generous Guru. Commercially oriented Budha is a master of writing, reporting, cinema, and detailed communication. Kumara naturally matches the vibration of chatty students and a younger audience. Yet, Brihaspati much prefers to preach on broad-scope topics, ideology and inclusive doctrine. Paushna-born often find themselves in shepherding roles that require delivering a message to their herd of followers. The usual delivery style is musical, oratorical, or imaginative, but any method of Showing the Way may be chosen. Pashu the Pastor combines a broad welcoming vision with a beckoning repeating signal frequency such as a slogan, a jingle, or a melody. Themes of pastoral guidance, musical messaging, and benevolent outreach to all creatures may contextualize Revatika's terrestrial experience.

They are fond of their family and friends
They may not be born to wealth
They will know how to enjoy wisely and well the fruits of their endeavors. These people are wise and intelligent

Biographical events matched to the Vimshottari Dasha timeline
Raag Khamaj 1920-2012 sitarist Ravi Shankar * became a very high-visibilit, internationally recognized (10) icon of classical Indian music via his extraordinary musicianship (2) and his expansive teacher-philosopher approach [Guru] toward educating a western audience deeply unfamiliar with the instruments, the melodies, the scale, and the historic tradition. yuvati-pati-7 Guru in bhava-2 also brought him two marriages, delicious foods, and considerable wealth, albeit Brihaspati's kendra-adhipathi dosha does limit the scope of The financial wealth. Although he was granted with a magnificent wealth of traditional musical knowledge, Mr. Shankar's lifestyle was not materially opulent. |

Distinctive
features of the nativity
|
Surya * pitri-karaka (father) * jyoti-karaka (light)
Dad was a lawyer who handled contentious cases with charisma and skill Surya in bhava-1 rogesha. After an early career and fathering a family in Bengal, Dad moved to London and remarried a British lady. RS was born and raised in Varanasi, where the mother's brother provided paternal guidance. Dad met RS for the first time when RS was eight years old. Chandra * matrikaraka (mother) * garha-karaka (village)
Mom was devout and focused upon her large brood of musicians, dancers, and other talented performers. Despite nichha status. Mom would have provided a nourishing environment that supported the genius (5) of her children. Chandra ia not only ruler of 5 residing in 5th-from-5th, but also both Chandra and Surya (mom and dad) accept the highly auspicious drishti of uttama-Guru-5. Chandra in Anuradha-Maitra is a disciplined position for emotionally active, competitive Chandra-Vrizchika. It grants a relatively more conservative, law-abiding nature to both mother and son RS. Chandra in Anuradha-Maitra is particularly gifted in mitigating dangerous or threatening circumstances by imposing normal codes of behavior, to the point of lying and denial of facts. nichha - Chandra in classroom-9 also accounts for the famously irascible, explosive temperament of master music teacher Allauddin Khan. Bhava-9 = guru figures. RS was a romantic adventurer in many ways, due to the high permissiveness of uttama-Guru drishti into both Surya-1 and into Chandra-9. Yet, RS maintained a public image of respectable conformity to social norms. (Also Chandra-rules Sravana Svamsha = attention to the public reputation.) Kuja * bhratru-karaka (brother) * virya-karaka (virile)
CAREER - MANGALA Budha * jamayah-karaka (sibling) * sandeza-karaka (message) * zisya-karaka (student) Atmakaraka manual skills, playing instruments, scripts, touch, touring, entourage, cohort
CAREER - BUDHA Guru * dhava-karaka (husband) * bahuta-karaka (variety) lagnesha for Meena radical lagna
Zukra * svadu-karaka (sweet) * kalatra-karaka (wife)
Shani * duro-karaka (endurance) * jara-karaka (years)
Rahu * rajyalobha-karaka (ambition) * picchala-karaka (slippery)
Ketu * * kavandha-karaka (headless) * chidra-karaka (gaping) * vasana-karaka (vacuum)
