Rising Nakshatra Masculine Nativities Asresas * Uraga * Azreshasha * Hydra * Aayilyam * Bhujamaghabha BPL commentary For Aśleṣa births of a masculine valence, the condition of conversational, discursive, explanatory, instructional, argumentative, commercializing, evangelical Kumara may considerably affect the outcome. For those born into the Budha-ruled paradigm of Uraga, 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 may be especially influential. Instructional guidance provided by emissaries from the civilizations of Hydra. Their purpose is to hold securely, twist, and control. Call to Roots Budha-ruled Asresas are typically storytellers. They are protective, parentally concerned, emotionally responsive communicators . Intensely patriotic and often xenophobic, Naga-born harken to the old ways, the familiar rhythms, the folk stories which bind an ethno-cultural people to their roots. Azresa have a particular genius for evoking ancestral guilt, ethnic narratives, and ancient resentments. Azresa have a particular genius for evoking ethnic narratives and ancient resentments. Emotionally engaged and gesturing [Budha] in their messaging style, Hydra-born are often accomplished writers in literary genre ranging from political speech-scripters to parenting advice to folktale raconteurs. They specialize in tropes of root-culture, customs and habits, protection of the genetic stock, stabilization of the place of settlement, and defense of a way of life. Bhujamaghabha speak the stories of a people in their land. It is the tale of a beginning in the watery mists, travel by ship, the struggle to farm and build, the cry for protection of a parental god, and finally the rooted possession of their place. Hydra-born are natural environmentalists who prefer conversations about parenthood, ritual worship and holidays, food and farms, schools, roads and housing, with an emphasis on ensuring continuity of culture. Depending upon the condition of parental Chandra, Aśleṣa fathers may bind their children closely. In leadership roles, the Naga-born may communicate in a swaying, hypnotic jargon, talking in the familiar folk style, appealing to the base layers of the society, recalling an ancient past. Their sentimental audience is rapt with feeling. Their rhetoric is soothing, repetitive, simple, and homey, like a parental lullaby, soothing the baby's cries. Once lulled, the Naga's quarry may be bound and captured, lashed to the safe place. It is a bondage ritual, repeated to ensure that nourishment can continue and ethnic customs can repeat in an unbroken, rhythmic flow. Asresas-born may be found in socially powerful messaging roles. They come to prominence when a tribe is weakened at the root and feeling vulnerable. An ancient racial narrative is invoked. This storyline may beseech a people to strap themselves to the land and waters which give sustenance. Its clarion call rallies the fyrd, the farmers' army, the simple folk's defense of their habits, their sustenance. To this place they are bound by hunger, by vulnerability, by a need for protection. Themes of tight bindings, holding to roots, emotional restraint, and defense of ancient folkways may contextualize Naga's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Aśleṣa-Naga. | QUOTATION from: Shil-Ponde.(1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 82. "Outstanding characteristic of these people
They are awkward and gauche in their manners
This attitude militates against success in life
These people should live less introspectively
They should cultivate the habit of doing things for others." Thomas Jefferson, age 48 in the year 1791

Distinctive Features of the Nativity
Surya * pitri-karaka (father) * jyoti-karaka (light)
Uttama-Surya-Aśvini ++ Shukra-Krittika ++ Rahu-Krittika = occupy Mangala's rashi in governance-kendra-10. Surya in bhava-10 * dig-bala + uttama-Surya-Mesha * exposing one's life to the public eye; in Aśvini, Surya represents an inventor, a promoter of new ideas Chandra * matrikaraka (mother) * garha-karaka (village) lagnesha for Karkata indriya lagna

8th-from-7th-from-Chandra-7
CAREER-CHANDRA Localism, agrarianism, defending a way-of-life Staunch defender of a rural, agrarian lifestyle Aśleṣa that he believed to be the only natural foundation for a just society, TJ was a slavery advocate. He understood slaves to be an essential utility of large-scale cash-crop farming (Tobacco). For TJ, this mixture [Rahu] handily combined the romantic ideal of land-rooted civilization with the enormous marketplace profits [Rahu] of the colonial super-planters. TJ vigorously opposed the concept of a Federal Bank. Although a central bank could, as USA-Treasury 1755-1804 Federalist Papers Alexander Hamilton proposed, facilitate the growth of commerce in the fledgling nation, TJ said it was incompatible with the simple, decentralized farmers' way-of-life. The fact that the planter-class regularly took loans from each other and from British banks did not dissuade TJ's Chandra-Sravana the listener in bhava-7 suggests expert diplomacy (7) due to emotional [Chandra] attunement to opinions of other asset-holders. Chandra gains extraordinary strength. for diplomacy and bargained relationships
Whitehouse Hostess = POTUS-pair-04 hostess 1768-1849 Dolley Madison
Shukra-yuti-Rahu * D-1 and D-9 * barrier-bending alliances Martha Skelton Jefferson was a widow when she married TJ. Widowhood was a common situation in the 1700's. It was considered to have mixed [Rahu] benefits. While a widow might bring extra children into the marriage, she might also bring her deceased husband's assets. The more vivid taboo-bender woman [Shukra] would be Martha's half-sister, Sally Hemmings. Due to her one-quarter African ancestry, Sally was a quadroon. Although she was educated and a member of the household, Sally was still a slave. TJ's bhava-2 contains both yuvati-pati-7 + randhresha Shani in bhava-2 * Shani-Simha * resistance to royalty, repression of brilliance and hidden qualities to the second life union rogesha-6 servitude exploitation + Dharmesha-9 global humanism = Guru-Simha * expansion of intelligence, inclusive generosity of political will yet servitude and unbalanced contracts NOTES Recently gaining more credibility via genetic testing of the Hemmings line and historical research, after 250 years of suppression, there is more than anecdotal evidence that enslaved Sally Hemmings was Jefferson's long-suffering common law wife. Sally was 25 years younger than Martha Skelton. Sally was the same age as Jefferson's elder daughter Martha Jefferson. Sally accompanied TJ and his daughter to France during TJ's long diplomatic missions there. It is asserted that Sally and TJ's sexual relationship began in France and continued stateside, where Hemmings eventually bore Jefferson six additional children. It was customary for owners to free their household slaves via their final legal Last Will And Testament. Dying indebted,TJ did not grant freedom to any of his slaves * except six individuals (understood to have been his six children). However, Aśleṣa TJ never granted manumission to Sally. She died a slave. Kuja * bhratru-karaka ** virya-karaka Atmakaraka = direct action, competition, contest, domination, championship, progress, winning
CAREER - MANGALA Yogakaraka = Mangala-Karkata * nichha rules
TJ's powerful yogakaraka Mangala-1 =
TJ would have needed physical, muscular, sexual, and combative movements to accomplish all that history attests. Vidyapthi-5+karmesha-10 atmakaraka Kuja Mangala in bhava-1 produces characteristics of physical courage (1), political, literary, charismatic, and dramatic energy (5) and dynamic institutional leadership (10). Yogakaraka activates 5 + rules-10 Mangala-Karkata * TJ = a very active man He was a combative agent for change with a philosophical, humanistic orientation. The social identity which marks his life's work is directly adversarial and enormously capable of risk (Rahu in rashi of Kuja) especially involving travel by sea. Aśleṣa character is often toxic and extortionist in nature. When Aśleṣa-Mangala occupies the lagna, both the extraordinary virtues of yogakaraka Kuja AND the unsavory tendencies of Aśleṣa-the-Squeezer = amplified. Mixed Outcomes = nichha-yogakaraka Mangala-1 Among the political, legal, and financial leadership of his era, Mangala-driven young Jefferson was considered a bit of a loose cannon. TJ's enthusiasm and vision were welcomed, but his combative personality was often a liability. POTUS-04 USA-Constitution 1751-1836 James Madison noted TJs propensity to tell "large stories" -- especially those which served to promote TJ's self-image as a superman polymath genius.
TJ was a hero writer of the extremely innovative and bold USA Constitution. He was a friend to the Euro-American Enlightenment philosophical cohort. A notable polymath of his era, TJ was spectacularly talented political philosopher, architect, writer, and statesman, inter alia. Brilliant but Aggressive in his political and sexual behaviors. TJ was a nasty adversary and incriminating gossiper. He was an exploiter of his slavery-bound second wife. He was a vicious enemy to those he targeted, and his relentless attacks on key members of the Founding Fathers group - specifically, Adams and Hamilton -- may have significantly harmed the fledgling nation. Budha * jamayah-karaka (sibling) * sandeza-karaka (message) * zisya-karaka (student)
Budha in bhava-9 * occupies Meena-9 Karakamsha = global philosophy and priesthood of enlightened world culture Budha-Meena-9 signals TJ's lifelong engagement with higher education. Founder of the University of Virginia. Guru * dhava-karaka (husband) * bahuta-karaka (variety) Guru-Simha rules Karakamsha Meena-bhava-9 ideology Guru-Simha rules Dhanus ideology beliefs 10th navamsha = contains Shukra + Rahu
Shukra * svadu-karaka (sweet) * kalatra-karaka (wife)
bandesha-4 patriotism + Vriddhi-pati-11 economic networks in leadership roles = Shukra-10 * Shukra-Meza -krittika Shani * duro-karaka (endurance) * jara-karaka (years)
yuvati-pati-7 career advising counseling+ randhresha-8 revolution hidden forces, new identities = Shani in bhava-2 resistance to privileged lineages * Shani-Simha = resistance to royalty, Rahu * rajyalobha-karaka (ambition) * picchala-karaka (slippery)
Guru-Rahu chidra-dasha 1789 (TJ age 46) begins service as Secretary of State in the brand-new USA foreign service * served 1789-1793 * Guru-Rahu chidra-dasha * Rahu culture mixing * Rahu in bhava-10 * Rahu-yuti-Surya * Rahu-yuti-Shukra ++ Rahu-mutual-drishti-Guru Rahu in bhava-10 = dramatic rise to leadership roles, under barrier-bending, taboo-twisting , law-bending, illicit, or culturally irregular [Rahu] circumstances. Rahu in bhava-10 is often a glass-ceiling crasher, able to break gender-race-age barriers in conservative professional roles. May challenge conventional standards in the style of ascendancy to the high ranking institutional governance positions. Ketu * * kavandha-karaka (headless) * chidra-karaka (gaping) * vasana-karaka (vacuum)
Ketu in Bhava-4 = one is rarely at home due to Rahu-10-related ambitions for high visibility social privilege. For extended periods of time in mid-life, TJ was gone from home for years without relief, due to his diplomatic and governance assignments. | |
