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. Applies also to Chandra in Revatika-Pashu

QUOTATION from Shil-Ponde. [1939] . Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra . p 89

"... often distinguished by a birthmark on the thigh.

They usually have well formed and beautiful physiques

  • although not necessarily large or robust

They are fond of their family and friends

  • and very sociable and hospitable .

They may not be born to wealth

  • but they have the ability to accumulate the good things of life

  • through their own efforts and usually will.

They will know how to enjoy wisely and well the fruits of their endeavors.

These people are wise and intelligent

  • and make excellent counselors to those who are in trouble

  • or are in a dilemma over some problem of life."

ShankarRavi_younger.jpg[Chandra]

matrikaraka [mother] * garha-karaka [village]

[nīcha]

[witty-creative vidya-pati for Meena indriya-lagna]

[comforted by mysterious watery intelligence]

[sensitive to hidden trauma-healing]

[needs domestic healing discovery]

[entitled to feel caretaking emotions]

[ethno parental wisdom on a global scale]

...

MOTHER

Mom was devout and focused upon her large brood of musicians, dancers, and other talented performers. Despite nīcha 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 [uchcha] Guru-5.

OUTCOMES - CHANDRA

Chandra in Anuradha-Maitra is a disciplined position for emotionally active, competitive Chandra-Vṛścika. 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.

[nīcha] 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 [uchcha] 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 Śrāvaṇa Svamsha = attention to the public reputation.]

OUTCOMES - BRIHASPATI

multiple intuitive intelligences * growth of clairsentient guidance * dramatic display of dreamlike genius

Raag Khamaj 1920-2012 sitarist Ravi Shankar * became a very high-visibility, internationally recognized karmesha icon of classical Indian music via his extraordinary musicianship. RS took an expansive teacher-philosopher approach [Guru] toward educating a western audience deeply unfamiliar with the instruments, the melodies, the scale, and the historic tradition.

lagnesha Uchcha-Guru drishti blesses

Ketu-2 does limit the scope of financial wealth. Although he was granted with a magnificent wealth of apparently unlimited [Ketu] traditional musical knowledge, Mr. Shankar's lifestyle was not materially opulent.
