Rising Nakshatra

Masculine Nativities

Dhaniṣṭha - Delphinus

Vasu - Slaviztha - Avittam - Hrsikesha


BPL commentary

For Dhaniṣṭha births of a masculine valence, the condition of kinesthetic, direct, yang-energy, forward-pushing bhratru-karaka Mangala may considerably affect the outcome.

For those born into the Kuja-ruled paradigm of Vasava, brother-figures, warriors, hunters, athletes, dancers, champions, challengers, inventors, explorers, dis-coverers, engineers, drivers, drillers, diggers, exploders, aggressors, pushers, invaders, pursuers, competitions and battles may be especially influential.

Dhaniṣṭha-born often respond to a deep inner fear [Shani] which manifests as aggressive survival-driven competition [Kuja]. The result = orderly, direct, empowered, and dynamic structured action.

Instructional guidance is provided by emissaries from the civilizations of Delphinus. Their purpose is social engineering, economic competition, and achievement of dominant positions.


Hierarchical Power Climber

Kuja-ruled Vasu-born fellows endure acute Shani-Mangala tension. They are intensely competitive. In no uncertain terms, these men play to win. Goal-directed and often ruthless, their playing fields are typically located in the corporate-institutional hierarchies of Shani, where they strive for alpha-dominant positions.

Operating in orderly Shani-controlled environments of Makara and Kumbha, Vasu champions are surrounded by lawful, systematic, and often timid folks who rarely resist Hrsikesha's powerful ascent to the peak of the hierarchy.

Dhaniṣṭha + Sraviztha are a pair, similar to the Purva-Uttara pairs. Like genteel śrāviṣṭha, those born within Dhaniṣṭha are highly sensitive to rhythm, pace, and tone. They can develop successful careers in music and dance performance. When Dhaniṣṭha fellows choose an entertainment career, it is often full of drumming, loud singing, vigorous dance, sexual strutting, and dominated by men.

Unlike demure Soma-ruled śrāviṣṭha, those born into Kuja-ruled Dhaniṣṭha favor athletic, competitive movement. These men thrive where the blood-stirring beat of the war-drums is pulsing, energizing, and strong. They set high-achievement goals. Dhaniṣṭha are determined to win the contest, at any cost.

Makara pada 1-2 express Kuja's control of 4-lands-roots + 11-earnings. Pro-actively patriotic (4) and driven to achieve profits (11), they are often found in real-estate (4) education (4) agriculture (4) transportation (4) police + defense industry (4) minerals + mining (4) or in any marketplace where the path to economic gain (11) is open to Kuja's dominating, goal-oriented, competitive vigor.

Since Mangala activates a 6/8 pair, their Achilles Heel = economic protectionism (4-11). Outcome depends upon the character of Mangala.

Kumbha pada 3-4 express Kuja's control of 3-commerce + 10-leadership. Any commercial endeavor suits the pada 3-4 Hrsikesha-born, so long as they find a path toward governing power. Gifted in manufacturing (3) programming and process (3) sales-marketing (3) and all business functions, this breed competes aggressively for leadership.

Kumbha pada 3-4 = famed as dominating, irascible, intimidating personalities who may have been bullied in their youth. Their innovative actions may change the course of civilization. Since Kuja activates a 6/8 pair, their Achilles Heel = micro-management (3-10). Outcome depends upon the characteristics of Mangala. Like all Kumbha-born, their wealth expands via globalist, philosophical Brihaspati.

Themes of band-of-brothers, survival, vitality, forceful movement, controlled explosion, exploration, winning, pioneering, discovery, invention, drilling, penetration, invasion, intimidation , sexual pursuit, and conquest may contextualize Vasu's terrestrial experience. Incoming drishti from Kuja can mobilize their progressive, pioneering actions. Also applies to Chandra in Dhaniṣṭha

QUOTATION from: Shil-Ponde.(1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 87


" Two entirely different types are born with Dhaniṣṭha rising.

It depends on the part of this asterism, which lies on the Rising Point, as to which type predominates.

  • The key notes of both are optimism and ambition .

They both have thick necks and heavy thighs.

  • But there the similarity stops."

Distinctive features of the Nativity
  • POTUS-17 Reconstruction 1808-1875 Andrew Johnson

  • POTUS-17 Reconstruction 1808-1875 Andrew Johnson was profile-identified with his tailoring business. AJ gained a loyal frontier following as an advocate for the small-holder white tradesmen. These hard-scrabble folk lived mainly in poverty. Yet, they aspired to social mobility and wealth via acquisition of slave-labor. He argued for the Constitutional validity of the right to buy-and-sell human property. It was a popular belief among the low-whites, and AJ repeated it often, but the argument was flawed in principle. Rahu-10 kept AJ in elected elite governance positions until his death.

[begin quote] Known as " mud-sills" [lower-class people] Jacob and Mary Johnson were both employed at Casso's Inn, where Mary worked as a weaver and clothes washer, and Jacob was a hostler [horse-cleaner]. Jacob also was a militia Captain of Muster Division 20, a sexton for the Presbyterian Church, and a porter for the State Bank of North Carolina [chartered in 1811] .

Class-conscious obligatory service roles [Shani in Bhava-6] casts a harsh survival drishti into Chandra-12.

  • Laundering was considered a less than respectable trade, often held in contempt by higher-status citizens
  • women working at inns and taverns were generally suspected of being involved with prostitution in the service of travelers.

Rulers of 1-3-4 occupy 8th-from-Chandra, suggesting that both AJ and his mom [Soma] were affected by the tumultuous conditions of the time, needing to suddenly change their identities, their business behavior, and their place of dwelling.

Due to Shukra-8 which provides her with contractual married rights

  • [Vimala Yoga] protects Chandra-12 prevents undue harm to mom, despite her low status.
Chandra in classroom-5 unseen circumstances of the Mother
  • AJ did not look like his siblings. It was rumored that AJ was not actually the son of the deceased purported father.
  • AJ was reportedly much more outspoken, smarter, and quicker than his younger brother.

However, neither AJ nor his mom were constrained by the vagaries of public opinion.

  • Like many pioneers who were annoyed by the wagging tongues of small-minded villagers, they moved West.

Shani drishti effects improve with age. Shani rules 10th-from-Chandra.

  • Mom's circumstances improved when she left Raleigh and moved with AJ to Greeneville.
  • As her son's tailoring business, real-estate portfolio, and political career flourished, she rose in dignity.

Eliza McCardle was 16 when she married Andrew Johnson age 18.

She was reputed as staunchly loyal to her Ulster-Scots people, change-resisting of classic Apalachian character, and determined to complete the duties that she had undertaken

  • Shani-6 rules Shukra-8, conferring upon AJ a protective Sarala Yoga that benefits his somewhat secretive wife [Shukra] and also prevents him from harmful illnesses
  • Eliza suffered from tuberculosis for decades, but she lived five months longer than AJ - supporting him permanently and persistently within the framework of her cultural-and-physical limitations.

[Shani in Bhava-6] represents Eliza in AJ's life. Their marriage endured many long separations[Shani] and likely substantial disagreement due to his Chandra-12 located in 6th-from-7

Yet they shared a Shani-ish common bond based in relentlessly hard work, shrewd pragmatism, earthy lifestyle, and perpetual service.

  • At 17, AJ had moved to Eliza's town with already-provened tailoring handcraft skills.
  • Eliza's father had been the town shoemaker.
  • AJ and Eliza had deeplyshared roots in the small-trade classes.

With Eliza's support, AJ opened a garment shop in the town.

  • His tailoring work was well regarded, and the shop prospered.
  • After emancipation, AJ's former slave Dolly opened a successful bakery in the same shop building.

Shani ruling 9 indicates a guidance figure.

  • In addition to teaching AJ how to write-read-cipher accurately, Eliza provided AJ with a lifetime of scripturally based spiritual guidance.
  • Much of Eliza's spiritual viewpoint was fear-framed and punitive , due to Anuradha-double-Shani.

 SHANI in 7th-from-Chandra

Endurance and retreat

AJ and Eliza were married for 56 years. They died within 5 months of each other.

Separation and obligation

  • The couple had repeated, long separations
  • The longest separation = during the Civil War, three-plus years of no contact 1861 until-mid-1865 = AJ's Shani-Shani svabhukti

AJ never once came home during the years 1861-1869. [his age 53 until 61]

  • Eliza remained in Greeneville during most of AJ's multi-decade career, not accompanying him on political duties but remaining in touch by postal-railway letters.
  • She did move into the Whitehouse when AJ became POTUS in 1865, after Lincoln's assassination.
  • But due to poor health, Eliza stayed in an upper bedroom. Entertaining was delegated to her eldest daughter Martha.

The stated reason for their long and repeated separations [Shani] was geography from Washington D.C. To Greeneville

  • Although it is now a modern highway commute of half a day, it was then a difficult and draining event .
  • It could be dangerous and slippery to ride by carriage on rough rutted roads, and exceedingly threatening in the rain.
  • Even when the railroads were built, there were still frequent - sometimes grisly - rail carriage accidents . AJ was nearly killed once when his train car derailed.

Suffering a multi-decade battle with tuberculosis, Eliza was often bedridden [Budha-7 rules 4 homebound]. She did not accompany AJ on his many political travels.

  • following Lincoln's assassination, when AJ became POTUS-17, Eliza did move into the Whitehouse.
  • Yet, Eliza stayed in her bedroom for AJ's entire term of office.
  • Their adult daughters hostessed for the required social entertainments.

OUTCOMES - CHANDRA

Chandra rules businesslike communicative explanatory 3rd-from-Chandra

  • AJ was not the great healer who was truly needed in that awful chaotic era full of seething wounds and distrust of brother by brother.
  • His leading focus was always upon that great truth of Euro-American society, the primacy of commerce.

Due to behind-the-scenes finance {Urisha-12] AJ's bring slavery back treachery [12 invisible machinations] was not punished.

For career purposes, Chandra-12 can form the basis of an excellent professional position, because 10th-from-Chandra = bhava-9.

  • When career is defined by 9-amsha, leadership typically entails beliefs, sacred teachings, university life, or ideological environments.

For AJ, who had a somewhat crude personality [Arudra] the career was framed by confident, expansive ideological discourse in the form of his oversimplified self-taught frontier lawyer's understanding of Constitutional Law.

  • His personal leadership style was highly popular [Kumbha] within his specific social bubble

Guru-Kumbha is populist, a preacher of economic theory, and optimistic about marketplace expansion

  • for the final 30 years of his life AJ never lost a political election

[Mangala in bhava-9] - ruling 11, 4, and political-5

Kuja-9 positioned AJ in the role of prophetic guide and guru-figure for his tribal constitutency. His base was composed mainly of white-male Ulster-heritage smallholders [Kuja rules-4] who believed that African slaves were not persons but rather they were farming tools.

Combative, Polarizing, Vehemently Argumentative Civil War politician

Overall, Johnson managed the extremely high-conflict angry resentment better than many of his political peers.

Johnson enjoyed a lifetime political career spanning 43 years, from town alderman age 26 in 1834

He worked incessantly in governance roles attained via elected politics pMangala dristi into 10].

Mangala rules 6-servitude. Following an extremely narrow win for a Senate seat, AJ was getting ready to return to Congress when, he died age 67 in 1875.

  • He argued on behalf of the poor-white small-holders. [6 disadvantaged constituency]
  • He said that he disliked the antebellum Big-Money southern planter class [but he took their donations] [6 hypocrisy, bribery].

Despite his being a capable mayor, state legislator, US-Senator and Tennessee-Governor, most scholars rank Andrew Johnson as the single worst POTUS in history.

  • His failures are mainly attributed to his adversarial outright non-compliance with the federal laws that eradicated slavery and invested freed male slaves with the privileges and duties of American citizenship.
  • AJ was an //amendment denier //
  • He and his fellow deniers claimed that the 14th amendment - which ended slavery and gave voting rights to male ex-slaves over 21 -- was illegitimate because it prevented a more foundational right-to-property

Defending [4] Citizens [4] Aggrieved [6] about their earnings [11]

AJ was joined in the de facto refusal to end slavery by most white southerners.

Despite having sided with the Union during the Civil War, AJ the Denier remained fairly popular throughout the South.

  • Overall during his 43-year political career, folks either really liked Johnson or they really disliked him, with very little middle opinion.
  • Mangala rules 6 and 6th-from-6 = friends and enemies
  • Mangala rules 7th-from-Chandra and 12th-from-Chandra = fair and unfair

Mangala-Kanya leads with provocative argument

  • Johnson actively instigated political arguments and won them with sharp, aggressive, debating skills.

Parents [4] may become enemies - even while they provide a basis for earnings.

Before He matures age 28, Kuja's effects can be harsh.

  • As was common in the day among lower-working-class families, young Andrew [age 10] and his little brother were sold into indentured servitude by his mother and his bonus-father
  • Mangala Mahadasha [age 7.5 until age 14.5]
  • [Mangala-Kanya] [Mangala in bhava-4] aggressions in the home, harsh parents, conflict in the shelter
  • AJ did learn the basics of tailoring, but he was abused by the master-tailor, and he illegally ran away age 16.
  • A reward was posted for his capture. On the run, he travelsed widely throughout the rural South. * Rahu-Rahu svabhukti

Way to Wealth 1706-1790 printer ambassador Benjamin Franklin was also indentured by his parents .

  • Ben was sold to a printer. albeit the printer who purchased young Benjamin's labor was Benjamin's much older step-brother. Ben Franklin also ran away age 16, from his domineering brother's print-shop in Boston to the freedom of Philadelphia.
