BPL commentary
To whom much is given, from whom much is expected.
For Uttarabhadrapada births of a masculine valence, the influence of rigid, chronological, lawful, enduring strictly structural sober serious systematic elderlydurokaraka Shani can considerably affect the outcome.
For those born into the Shani-ruled paradigm of Uthratadhi, 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 by emissaries from the civilizations of Andromeda. Their purpose is multi-dimensional structural integrity and species resilience.
Responsible Charity
Meena-Antya pada 1-2-3-4 represents Shani's rulership of 11-systems ++ 12- distant worlds, imaginative vision. Guru and Shani are mutually neutral, suggesting that personality distortions are uncommon with Andromeda-born. Pada 1-2-3-4 have an extraordinary capacity to carry responsibility for others.
Uttara-bhadra born are often found in economic, ecological, community linkage, and networking roles which structurally engage invisible understandings, distant realms, interior visionary comprehension, and enduring patience.
Themes of maintaining continuity between systems, containment of inner understanding over time, and sustaining of proven profitable patterns may characterize Ahirbudhnaya's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Uttarabhadra
QUOTATION from Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra.p 85
"...most fortunate... usually indicates a man of means,
-
well-to-do if not wealthy.
A man who owns property and has the ability to earn money
-
and also to spend it wisely and constructively.
Being a passive type, his well-being may be inherited or bequeathed to him
-
but if he achieves his own success
-
he will do so without the corollary of someone else's misfortune .
He is very intelligent
-
and is charitable
and generous to those less fortunate than himself."

FATHER
Dad = Benjamin Pierce, 1757-1839
- Dad = well-known, politically active, farmer, craftsman, landowner, Revolutionary War soldier, patriot.
- Dad served as Governor of New Hampshire [1827-1828] + [1829-1830]
- Dad's reputation was based in dad's Revolutionary War militia service
- During the early phase of the New American Republic, much of the duty-roster of elected officials consisted of dispute resolution among farmers [6]
- Surya-yuti-Budha] Budha rules-4 land-ownership, farming + 7-judicial settlements, conflict-resolution

Surya-9 Rogesha
Paternalistic Sovereign States-Rights Doctrine [9]
As his father before him, FP supported the Doctrine of States Rights [Surya entitlements 9 doctrine].
In its extreme legal interpretation, this judicial principle of Independent Entitlement [Surya] would forbid the federal government [Shani] from interfering with state conduct regardless of state-level abuses.
According to States Rights Doctrine, any local elite could easily dismiss the federal legal apparatus of any state.
This doctrine in often cited in suppport of strong-man charismatic personalities [or an elite cartel of these] who are attempting to cancel federally guaranteed rights-and-responsibilities at the state level. This doctrine breaks the trust between the states [federal = faith] and invalidates the states' obligation to respect the USA Constitution.

Rahu amplifies Emotional Conflict [6th-from-Chandra]
[Rahu-Makara-Draco] [11] in [6th-from-Chandra]] suggests emotional conflict regarding legalized [Makara] opportunistic economic systems.
FP's life and career were entangled in the extreme national tension between
- his northern New England moral heritage absolute abolitionism
- versus
- the lure of tantalizing Big Profits [Rahu-11] from slave-labor plantations
MOTHER
Mom was the mother of eight and bonus-mom of one.
- [Chandra in classroom-6] Mom was often sick.
Chandra occupies 10th-from-Surya
- Despite her frailty and exaustion [Ketu ruled Magha-Chandra] mom was socially visible and she supported Dad's political career
MARRIAGE partnerships support expectations
marriage-1-of-?
- Kumbha economic systems, collectivism, community, fundraising
- 12- withdrawal, retreat, sanctuary, isolation, dissolution of tangible identity
[Shani in Bhava-7] [dik-bala] rules rules 7th-from-Chandra
the educated daughter of a former president of FP's undergraduate college [Bowdoin] Jane Appleton [her Mula Chandra + Mula lagna] was said to dislike political life.
With stern New England manners [Shani ] Jane Appleton was opposed to wasting time on the social circuit of Washington D.C..
Her Chandra in Mūla has a natural disregard for over-blown fakery and pretense. Ketu-ruled Mula goes emotionally direct-to-the-root.
- Yet she was deeply committed to the mass-participation effort of the anti-alcohol Temperance Movement which aimed to make the use of alcohol illegal within the United States. [Kumbha = regulatory futuristc mass movements]
[nicha-Shukra-yuti-Shani] wife
- while constantly complaining [Kanya] about pointless mannerisms, frivolity, and ostentatious displays, JAP neverthless conducted minimal entertainments required for her husband's career [Shani-7]. She would have understood the necessity [Shani] of fundraising [Kumbha]
[7th-from-Chandra-6] = 12, predominance of Shani + nicha-Shukra
- Contemporaries noted JAP's chronic retreating melancholy, traceable to the death of her father at Jane's age 13, and worsening to extremes after the tragic deaths of each of her three young sons -- all of whom died before reaching their age of 12.
According to historians, FP often expressed frustration with the marriage.
- Yet his [Chandra in Magha] matches his wifes [Chandra in Mūla] showing FP's deep attunement to his lifepartner.
- They worked a two-person political career that raised FP all the way to the top of the governance hierarchy
- Sick, complaining, perpetually unhappy wife - true - but also an educated, principled, financially capable wife and career-partner
Collapsing Ketu afflicts their shared emotional bond.
- Much of what bonded husband-and-wife was tragedy and senseless loss [Ketu]
- They shared a terrible grief following the one-by-one loss of their three young sons.
- Despite his alcoholism and her crippling depression, she stayed by his side. FP may have had other liaisons, but he did not disgrace his wife. [dignified Shani-7]
Fixed Challenges to the Alliance
- [Shukra-Kanya-nīcha] in and of itself, indicates a feminine lifepartner who is unable to locate her own beauty, thus she tends to feel inferior and misused
- [Shukra-Kanya-nīcha] may signal addiction and disagreement in relationships
[Shukra-Kanya-nīcha] may indicate a spousal union that seems incapable of finding a balance point. In a masculine nativity, the femine-figure spouse may seems to be toxically focused on punishments, accusations, or lawsuits as methods to address betrayal or injustice.
- FP was often accused of alcoholism.
- JAP was a vigorous campaigner for the Women's Christian Temperance Union, a national organization of pious puritan ladies who found alcohol to be abhorrent.
- FP was ambivalent about slavery, which he saw as aan irreplaceable element in the southern agricultural economy. FP tended to use economic justifications to excuse the dehumanization of slavery. He waffled.
- JAP was a profoundly principled amd active abolitionist.
Sober heaviness of [Shani-yuti-Shukra-nīcha] [7]
[Dik-bala Shani-7] Jane's college-president father had secured a rare-amd-unusual [Rahu] college education for her [Shani-7 in 4th-from-4th intakes drishti of His tenant Rahu].
rulers of 3 + 8 + 11 + 12
An educated woman and a preacher's daughter [Dhanus] Jane Appleton was notoriously serious, pious, and unsmiling [Shani].
Sadly, she suffered from chronic melancholy and tuberculosis [a disease of grief].
- Following the Jan-1853 accidental decapitation death of her sole remaining son, JAP's unending grief put her in a permanent state of mourning.
- She dressed in black and covered her face with silk bonnets.
Wife Jane was described by contemporaries as a frail, punitively moralistic, judgmental personality. Jane was no fun to be around. However, JAP undertook serious work in Kumbha networking structures, and her efforts bore fruit in the 1920's Prohibition Era.
- She somberly supported the growing national Temperance Movement and the anti-slavery movement. [Shani austerity, restriction]
Additional intimate partnerships are indicated by
- Ketu + Shukra + Budha located in Kanya 2nd navamsha
- ruler of 8 [Shukra] joins ruler of 12 [Shani] in yuvati-bhava
Additional marriages are suggested by
- nicha-Shukra-yuti-Shani in bhava-7
Although his handlers would have ensured [that FP's public profile conformed to the moral strictures of the day] FP would appear to have enjoyed supplementary sustaining companionship.
A final bond following Jane's decease was said to have been especially meaningful. He fell in love with his landlady, who brightened his final years.

Generally, dharmesha located in vidya-sthana is a splendid arrangement for politics. Add FP's Uttaraphalguni svamsha and his Surya-9 Governor father, to see why FP was attracted into politics.
Before entering politics, FP was a successful New England attorney who accepted controversial, attention-getting cases [Kuja-5 center-stage attention]
- He was considered a fine orator and colleagues remember his distinctively deep voice.
- FP delighted the gallery with his dramatic speeches [masculine, competitive Kuja-5 rules-2]
Sadly, [nicha-Kuja-yuti-Ketu] shows the moral weakness that destabilized then aborted [Ketu] his financially-motivated political career.
Inconsistent actions [nicha-Kuja-yuti-Ketu]
- Throughout his political career, Pierce was harassed by opposition campaigns that framed his character as vacillating, weak, and cowardly [Ketu-yuti-Kuja-nīcha] [5 center-stage roles, romantic heroics]
- FP's leading strategy was manipulative action [Aslesa-Kuja] rather than overt, direct action.
Caught in a violent [Kuja] and unsustainable [Ketu] political conflict
It was the defining American conflict, which very nearly annihilated the nation.
Calls for national abolition grew into a moral imperative for northern Christians in the 1790's.
Both Franklin Pierce and Jane Appleton Pierce were Northerners born-and-bred. Jane was a staunch pious Northern abolitionist whose convictions did not swerve.
Franklin swerved.
nicha-Kuja rules 9-ideology
- Like all of the POTUS who served during the 20 years preceding the US Civil War [antebellum period] Pierce was trapped in the extremely polarized ideological conflict over human slavery
During these horribly contentious antebellum years, USA national government was a miserable place to be.
- Congress [5]b ecame locked into increasingly toxic ideological combat [Kuja rules 9]
The small but extremely powerful elite who profited massively from slave-labor were able to buy those politicians who would do their bidding, ensuring that slavery would remain legally protected.
- nicha-Kuja-5 often indicate extortionist politics.
- FP was bought.
As the decades progressed without federal anti-slavery legislation, the moral furor [Karkata-Kuja] of the North battled the agressively defended [Karkata-Kuja] regional financial-cultural customs of the South.
- The North said that slavery was fully abhorrent dehumanization, an affront to Christian morality. They demanded its immediate end.
- The South defended their right to local autonomy [Karkata] and protection of their //customary way of life // which incidentally included four-million viciously maltreated slaves.
No leader could find a middle ground between the two utterly incommensurable sets of claims about whether
- African slaves were Constitutionally protected free humans-with-rights
- or
- as human capital, African slaves were legal property under State Sovereignty
FP = Northern supporter of Southern slavery
Famed for often changing his mind [Ketu] on the subject of slavery, FP's chronic indecision helped to bring on the Civil War.
Pierce's inability to hold a political position [Ketu in classroom-5] created political unease within his own party.
- FP was a Northern friend of the Southern slave-holders.
- Ideologically, he defended the rights [Surya-9] of the slave-exploiters and those who trafficked in human capital [2] .
- Except for a few wealthy slave-plantation owners, JP's fellow politicians abandoned him [Ketu]
- He became a political pariah [Ketu-5] .
Dysfunctional Political Indecision
- FP's waffling [Ketu ambivalence] was instrumental in evoking the USA Civil War
- His moral [Karkata] apathy combined with a money-first policy that further distressed a fragile union
Most historians squarely blame FP for outright political incompetence.
- In an attempt to pacify the big-capital Planters [Karkata plantations] FP agreed to designate some states as legally free and some states as legally slaving
- An exercise in political futility [Ketu in classroom-5] , this fractious policy only created more squabbling in Congress.
- Slaves escaped en mass into the border states.
Historians assert that had Pierce created a clear [albeit unpopular] policy [5] that could be evaluated by the Supreme Court, a series of definitive legal interpretations of the Constitutional language [Kuja rules 2] might have been produced
- and a blood-war might [theoretically] have been avoided
Clutching Aśleṣa-Mangala ++ apathetic legalistic Pushya-Ketu
Regardless of consequences [Ketu] FP ignored the northern outrage while protecting the financial [2] entitlements of rich slave-owners.
- He handled the tension, toxicity, and constant criticism by self-medicating with alcohol. [Shukra-Kanya-nīcha]
- FP lead a political circus [5]
- going in circles with no progress, no improvement, and no real engagement [Ketu-yuti-Kuja-nīcha] = mutual drishti with marketplace-driven Rahu-11 = while each sides' outrage boiled-over.
Terrible Grief = tragically premature deaths of all three children
All three of his sons [Kuja] died in childhood [age 1 + age 4 + age 11]
- Just months after Pierce won the POTUS-14 election during Rahu-Rahu svabhukti, their eldest son [age-11] was decapitated [Ketu] in a train accident..
- Both parents watched all three children die.
Some commentators on the 14th presidency observe that FP, who had been a capable legislator before undertaking POTUS-14, might have been much more effective had he not been overwhelmed by unmanageable personal grief. Without the support of his wife, whose grieving depression crippled her ability to direct him morally, FP simply collapsed in the role [Ketu].
However, his personal finances remained robust. [2 + 9]

- FP argued [Budha] for the local state-sovereignty and property rights claims [4] of the Southern faction.
- FP facilitated the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act which imposed harsh punishments [Shani-7] for those aiding escaped slaves.
BBudha rules 4-territory ++ 7-diplomacy
- Most historians consider Pierce's four-year presidential performance to have been a near-failure, except perhaps for a few diplomatic achievements.
The antebellum years 1840-1860 saw a tremendous land-territory expansion for the USA into the western regions.
- Although an unpopular leader on all other policy issues, Pierce is credited with successful military campaigns to add more Euro-settler land to the "teenage" USA.
rules 4 + 7 property, land-deeds, fencing, settlement
- Following his rejection by his own party after four years as POTUS-14, Pierce returned to farming and landowning.
- He re-opened his Boston law practice [7].
Via real-estate [4] speculation along with land inherited from his storied father, [uttarabhadra] Pierce died as one of the wealthiest men in New England .

while appearing to be lawful, instrumentalist Rahu-Makara simultaneously sends Drishti back upon Shani
- Shani-Kanya imposes legalized injustice [Kanya] for purpose of expedient and entrancing marketplace gains [Rahu]
FP favored the plantation owner's legal claims that human slaves were the economic property of their business operations, not persons in the eye of the law but rather belonging to the legal category of chattel.
- Despite his wife Jane Appleton [and most of the North] demanding federal slavery-abolition as a non-negotiable Constitutional mandate, FP's slavery policy remained beholden to the marketplace [11].

OUTCOMES - RAHU

Rahu-Rahu svabhukti
- FP was ushered into the presidency by the Marketplace Money [Rahu-11] who wanted him to produce a clear mandate on the legality [Shani] of slavery.
- Torn between Constitutional Law [Shani] and economic expedience [Rahu] FP only dithered and compromised.

- passion for unusual, high-risk, legalized marketplace systems
- expedient supporter of the slave-labor economy.
- drishti into 3 [commerce] + 5 [politics] + 7 [legalization]

- 08-Oct-1869 [FP age 64] physical dematerialization via liver cirrhosis

- During the Nov-1852 election, King was living in Cuba and dying of tuberculosis.
- King left Havana Cuba where he was taking a health-cure, went home for a brief rest in Alabama, and died overnight. King never made it back to Washington to serve as VPOTUS.
- SHANI STEPS IN = An obstructionist Congress refused to authorize a replacement lieutenant for FP.
spin-doctors at work
Rahu-Makara the Illusionist mimics ambitious heights, smoky impressions
mutual drishti between Rahu-Makara marketplace regulation ++ nicha-Mangala [war]
- 1847 Despite zero military experience, volunteer Pierce is commissioned Brigadier General by POTUS-11 Manifest Destiny 1795-1849 James Knox Polk.
- Leadings a force into the Mexican-American war, Pierce was injured quickly, and he missed most of the fighting.
- The war was won under the leadership of the experienced commanding general, POTUS-12 California Statehood 1784-1850 Zachary Taylor .
- Yet Pierce was able to use the military credential to boost [11 gains] his political profile.
Ambitious Rahu can ascend to extraordinary heights when the timing is right , but Rahu will typically collapse or tumble at some point in the trajectory.
Rahu-Rahu svabhukti
- No one was more surprised than Pierce himself when he was nominated for POTUS on his fractious political party's 49th ballot.
- Pierce was elected POTUS-14 on a very weak compromise ticket with vice-president William King
- the senator from New Hampshire a experienced a shot to the top of national prominence.
Rahu is exciting, but burdened by His restrictive ruler, Shani.
Shani-7 limits the amount of Partner Support
- His wife was horrified, but Pierce accepted his party's nomination
- His VPOTUS died before the term started
- Pierce was denied the option to choose a replacement lieutenant, meaning that he could not delegate any presidential tasks.
- His wife retreated into sullen depression.
11-Friends
FP had Rahu-ish friends.
- A New-England Northerner would have been expected to be a vigorous abolitionist
- FP however had slaveholding friends -- and they were generous.
Rahu-Makara-11 = over-reaching interpretations of the interface between Law and Economics
Opportunistic legal interpretation was a key factor in Pierce's disastrous POTUS-14 administration.
Pierce hailed from New England where abolitionism [abolishing slavery] was almost universally subscribed. The abolition mandate was argued by such luminaries as Walden 1817-1862 abolition Henry David Thoreau.
- Cleverly avoiding the Northern urgency, FP promoted an expedient interpretation of Constitutional Law based in doctrines of States Rights and Property Rights
FP pushed back [Mangala] against the abolitionists' moral outrage.
- He asserted that Northern moral arguments [Chandra] - however deeply felt - were cultural not legal -- and were not germane to the constitutional question about property rights.
- His over-reaching legal position overshadowed [Rahu] the established legal-historical fact that common morality underlies the statutory law.
Rahu-Shani bhukti - Shock and Fall
- Although Pierce had every reason to believe that he would be a viable incumbent candidate for the second term of POTUS-14, he was essentially dumped by his political party.
- Shani rules 12 = 8th-from-5 sudden political changes
The reasons for Pierce's sudden disfavor are complex but they stem primarily from incompletely substantiated accusations.
- Rahu-Makara is controlled by Shani who demands lawful, conventional behavior that is respectful of social ranking systems.
- Rahu drishti to Shani does support Pierce's legal career and brings him career-essential recognition for being a systematic legal thinker.
- But ultimately Shani is afflicted by nicha-Shukra, breeding mistrust

OUTCOMES - KETU

[nīcha] Mangala-yuti-Ketu
Pulverizing, dispersing Ketu afflicting nicha-Kuja provided an infelicitously passive-aggressive approach to political drama, gamesmanship, and elections.
FP took porous, inconsistent positions on cultural ethics [Karkata] of slavery, alcohol, and women's rights.
The tragedy of the premature deaths of all of his three sons was a source of endless sorrow.
