James Madison quote that is carved into marble at the Library of Congress :
-
"A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both.
-
Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."

Masculine Nativities
Pushya * Sidhya
BPL commentary
For Pushyami births of a masculine valence, the influence of rigid, chronological, lawful, enduring strictly structural sober serious systematic Shani can considerably affect the outcome.
For those born into the Shani-ruled paradigm of Vutkrita, elder persons, old rules, rigid structures, age and time, resistance to change, status hierarchies, social class barriers, large organizations, public opinion, bureaucracies, regulatory requirements, legal systems, and corporate or institutional officials may be especially influential.
Instructional guidance is provided from the civilizations of Asellus. Their purpose is the lawful, hierarchically ordered maintenance of the customary folk habits in the place of settlement.
Laws and Customs
Shani-ruled Pushyami gentlemen are often found at the director level of government, corporate, and institutional organizations. They combine the local sensibilities of security-seeking Chandra with the larger structural, legal frameworks of national and international regulation. Deeply patriotic and defensive by nature, Sidhya-born usually remain close to their roots while they obtain respected, socially recognized positions in institutions, bureaucracies, and agencies of government.
Sidhya-born are influential in the world and reputed for their culturally sensitive judgment. Found in all of the Chandra-karaka areas such as transportation, farming and fishing, home-building and real-estate, schools, houses of worship, and parenting, Tishya-born feel close to the land. Yet, they are socially responsible, and usually elect to serve as judges, directors, or other official roles [Shani] that provide an orderly process [Shani] for governance of their place of settlement.
Pushyami may specialize in cultural boundary-protection, making of reserved areas both social and natural, lawful preservation of ethnic practices, and legal recognition for cultural minorities. Tisya fellows are particularly dedicated to environmental protection, land ownership, and property rights.
Themes of parental duty, civic responsibility, patriotism, dignity of the family, and foundational legal protections may contextualize Pushya's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Pushya-Sidhya.
QUOTATION from Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 82.
"An earnest, thoughtful character,
intelligent and quite religious in his outlook.
Quite often a regular attendant at church services
and a supporter of church and religious activities.
Withal, he is possessed of the qualities which make for success in the material world,
and has the ability to rise in position
and to command the respect of his associates.
He will fill a position of executive requirements
and be admired and respected by his immediate family."

DHANAYOGA
Zukra-uttama ruler of 11 * Zukra occupies 11th-from-11th
Surya activates 2 occupies 9
- JM was born into substantial wealth
- However, Ketu-Vrishabha-11 tends to show disregard for earnings behaviors. Ketu eventually eroded the marketplace profits.
EDUCATION
rulers of 2 + 4 + 11 in 9 - uttama-Zukra = superb education, classical languages (2) philosophy (9) rhetoric (2)
Like all of the Southern leaders of the new-born United States of America, James Madison was a materially wealthy man whose family had the resources to grant him an elite education.
He was born the eldest of 12 children, of which seven survived to adulthood. Madison attended a Virginia boarding school where he was educated in the Classics, and where his lifetime love of reading was established.
Madison's father uttama-Zukra-yuti-Surya was a wealthy, slave-owning Virginia planter who arranged private tutoring for his sickly son when James was forced to leave the boarding school due to illness.
INCOME
His inherited income provided more than sufficiently for himself and his family.
- Exceptions include Northerners POTUS-02 Thoughts on Government 1735-1826 John Adams and Abigail Adams and their son POTUS-06 American System 1767-1868 John Quincy Adams and Louisa Johnson Adams who earned primarily from their government salaries and law businesses.
PHILOSOPHY - IDEOLOGY - PARADIGM of BELIEF
Madison's independent inherited wealth was the privilege that allowed him to dedicate his time and attention to codifying and clarifying the structural principles upon which the newborn nation would be founded.
The new nation was based on Enlightenment principles (9 principles). It drew its precedents from British ancestral foundations (Zukra activates 4). Yet, it was unique -- unlike any other country in existence (Surya uniqueness, genius).
It had to be thought through, discussed, described, considered. There is rich resource via Zukra-Surya, so that matters of survival, earning a living, could be ignored while the philosophical principles (9) were refined [Zukra].
MEET THE WIFE
A bachelor until age 43, on 15-Sep-1794 Ketu-Zukra bhukti James Madison married the 26-year-old widow Dolley Payne
JM and Dolley were introduced by JM's constitution-framing (9) friend Aaron Burr (Zukra activates 11 friends) in the parlor (talking room) of a Philadelphia home (Zukra activates 4 home)
Also Zukra conjoins his Surya, showing his beautiful wife's distinctive rosacea (a potential feature of Surya-yuti-Zukra).
WIFE
Dolley Payne Todd Madison became a legendary personality in Whitehouse communications and entertaining
- uttama-Zukra-yuti-Surya-9 = gracious social support for her husband's career
- facilitating personal relationships between members of the first generation of USA leaders
- providing a pleasant and comfortable home (Zukra activates 4)
- albeit there would be plenty of arguing and discontent among their revolutionary-minded guests, due to Zukra-9 principled discourse occupies 6th-from-4th
FRIENDSHIPS - SOCIAL NETWORK
Uttama-Zukra activates 11 + Zukra occupies 11th-from-11th bhava-9
Soft-spoken and carefully reasoning Madison was the closest adviser and personal friend to the adventurous and often controversial POTUS-03 Declaration of Independence 1743-1826 Thomas Jefferson
- Madison did the lion's share of the thinking while Jefferson did most of the table-pounding and promoting.
- They were a team
Although it was primarily a Jefferson initiative, Madison (a Princeton graduate) assisted Jefferson with founding the University of Virginia, and Madison served nominally as Chancellor of U-Va from 1826 until his death in 1836. Zukra-9 universities.
DOLLEY as friend of friend = super-friend = 11th-from-11th uttama-Zukra-9
Before James Madison was POTUS, Dolley also served as as a White House hostess for JM's best friend Thomas Jefferson .
Due to class prejudice, Dolley stood in lieu of Jefferson's true partner Sally Hemings. Sally was the enslaved stigmatized quadroon half-sister of Jefferson's deceased wife Martha.
Without Dolley's social skills (9) Jefferson's competitive, sometimes aggressive, personality could have created a hostile environment at a delicate time. As it was, Dolley's graceful entertainments kept the wine, talk, and dancing at a pleasantly productive conversational flow.
Shani * duro-karaka (endurance) * jara-karaka (years)
Shani activates Pushya radical lagna
- Shani-Vrizchika * heavy old secrets * obliged to uncover the camouflaged realities * burdened by responsibility for mass transformation * must regulate the occult identity changes * must explore masked trauma * must resist self-destruction * mandatory recycling * bodily stress zone = ovaries + testes + anus * imposes strict confidentiality rules * cautiously exposes hidden knowledge * must regulate the threat of disaster * at times, penetration of the mysteries requires great effort * must work with sudden eruptions * must accept the healing systems of elder shamans * respects the slow-moving cycles of proletarian revolution * scarce healing resources

CAREER - SHANI
The Politics (5) of Slavery
Instrumentalist and opportunist Professor Rahu yuti Shani-5 indicates political expediency under difficult circumstances.
Even though a provider of material wealth, sober structural Shani has a certain downside due to His entanglement with opportunistic Rahu.
Madison's father earned lavishly from slave-operated agriculture = Surya-yuti-uttama-Zukra . Aided by Vishaka-Chandra which has a tolerance for extreme shakti, Madison accepted the injustice of slavery as a bitter fact of agricultural economics in the revolutionary new nation.
JM was not an anti-slavery abolitionist like his colleague POTUS-06 American System 1767-1868 John Quincy Adams.
Shani in Bhava-5 a troublesome eldest child
Bailing out Dolley's son from jail (12th-from-6 release from jail) and paying off the stepson's debts (12th-from-6 release from debts) were frequent and expensive necessities for Madison (Shani necessity).
Rahu * rajyalobha-karaka (ambition) * picchala-karaka (slippery)
- Rahu-Vrizchika * shimmering illusion of mystery * craving for rebirthed identity * expedient gains from dangerous threats * extravagantly explosive hidden forces * preposterous camouflage * mesmerizing power of rejuvenation * fabulous surgeries * exotic secret initiations * mask of deep inner transformations * fascinating arcane knowledge * over-reaching intrigue * marvelous hidden liaisons * seeks special importance via apparent (but perhaps not authentic) attributes of healing shakti * thrilling emergency intervention * seeks privilege via revelatory disclosures * amazingly shocking insights * self-promotion via exciting discovery-roles
- Rahu in bhava-5 * passion for politics * hungry for celebrity * fascinating romance * extraordinary games * in svabhava of Splendid Surya, the Shadowy Specter seeks exceptional children * outsider who cleverly insinuates into center-stage creative roles * culturally mixed entertainment * amplified poetic idealism * enchanting individual charisma * flamboyant fashion * unusual autobiography * craves attention * intriguing displays of creative genius * seeks important roles in performance art * unconventional literary expression * desires royal entitlement * mesmerizing pageantry * entrancing dramatic splendor * opportunistic lovers * ambitious games-players * may wear the persona (mask) of a thespian * pretensions intellectuality * thrilling demonstrations in the eye of the camera * boundary-breeching politics
- Rahu-yuti-Shani * amplified public formality * pragmatic exaggeration * exotic social conventions * slippery hierarchies * tricky rules * opportunistic elders * fascinating (but perhaps illusory) appearance of strictly lawful structures * regulated risk-taking * hypnotic ascent to privileged rank * normalized cross-cultural mixing
CAREER - RAHU
The lawfulness pressure from Shani is not a comfortable constraint for privilege-seeking Rahu but this difficult pair Shani-yuti-Rahu nevertheless produces a benefit of out-smarting (clever Rahu) and out-lasting (enduring Shani) the vicissitudes of politics.
Ketu * * kavandha-karaka (headless) * chidra-karaka (gaping) * vasana-karaka (vacuum)
- Ketu-Urisha * financially dissociates from collections * breaks-up compulsive acquisition * incomplete containment * dissolved treasury * disregards conventional valuations * not limited by historical knowledge * incoherent lineage * ignores restriction on speech-voice-sight * releases a rich blue cloud of hoarded goods into the misty abyss
- Ketu in classroom-11 * eccentric friends * no limits on profitability * dissolves barriers in community * peculiar social network * vacuous associations * irrelevance of material achievements * intangible goals * ambivalence toward economics * disappearing elder siblings * disregards social awards * ignores marketplace norms * abandons large group systems * unless other graha occupy 11, may prefer to live free from socializing = off-the-grid.
CAREER - KETU
Few Friends
Aside from Jefferson, James Madison had few close friends. Mainly he consulted with Dolley and with his extremely long-lived mother.
Dissipation of Revenues = Urisha (banking) Ketu in classroom-11
JM was born into considerable wealth. However, over the course of his lifetime, JM lost virtually all of his wealth by means of not paying attention to it Ketu in classroom-11.
JM's risk-loving stepson (Rahu-5) nearly bankrupted JM via the stepson's gambling (5) and a wild lifestyle (Rahu).
JM had productive slave plantations which should have provided a continuous high income. Uttama-Zukra ruler of 11 occupies 11-from-11, indicating that JM was comfortably funded while he politicked and wrote and wrote and wrote. The legendary social skills of Dolley Madison also kept them in a friendship network of well-heeled colleagues (uttama-Zukra vriddhipati friendships).
Yet, JM disregarded the rules of planation management, and the farms lost money. A lot of money.
Madison was born into landed wealth and well-educated. He inherited a valuable plantation from his father. However, the plantation was mismanaged in his absence while he fulfilled unpaid governance duties, and at the end of his life he feared poverty.
At the time of his death, both JM and Dolley were virtually indigent.
