Rising Nakshatra

Masculine Nativities

Azwini * Dasra

BPL commentary

For Azvini births of a masculine valence, the condition of limitless, observing, uncoupling, surrendering, abandoning, disinterested, ethereal, wandering, dispersing Ketu may considerably affect the outcome.

For those born into the paradigm of Ketu-ruled Nasatya, spirit guides, astral beings,, ghosts, pilgrims, wanderers, cutters, dispersers, splitters, de-couplers, winds, flags, tails, cloudy figures, agents of impermanence and release, events of forgiveness and surrender, freedom from conventions, and inner listening may be especially influential.

Instructional guidance is provided by emissaries from the civilizations of Mezarthim. Their purpose is hearing the higher frequencies and healing intuitively.

Innovating Observer

Akasha-ruled chaps express the innovative, competitive vigor of Mangala through the observant, nebulizing filters of Ketu. Dasra fellows are famed for their pioneering inventions in medical, scientific, or technological fields. They are often obsessed with tools and gadgets. The 4th pada are nearly always physicians, nurses, or herbalists.

Competitive and irascible, often reclusive and disregarding of others' feelings, boldly productive Dasra are found in medicine, engineering, scientific instrumentation, and all species of gadgetry.

Azvikini are often found in medical or veterinary environments such as pharmacies, laboratories, hospitals, surgeries, and clinics. Due to their psychic (Ketu) capability to engage with astral patterns, Asvakini can also serve as medical intuitives and spiritual healers.

When looking for new ideas, they pursue an intuitive instinct to tap into the Akashic grid. Unconcerned with conforming to conventional expectations, they may seem selfish or rude. However, their job is to innovate, not to submit to old paradigms. Criticism rarely affects them.

Dasra-born hear the psychic instructions which guide their product design, surgical cutting, or drug formulation. Then, Azvini actively pushes (Kuja) the ethereal vision into material realization. Whatever endeavor they choose to pursue, Azvini tend to develop new methods and produce new things.

Azvakini fellows tend to prefer the freedom of bachelorhood. If they choose to marry, the mate shoulders most of the family duties. In relationships, much depends upon their Chandra.

Themes of eccentricity, invention, irritability, and psychic vitality may contextualize Azvini's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Azvini

FATHER

Dad was a wealthy aristocrat who served the court as a notary. In modern terms, his dad would be a contract lawyer.

CAREER

DaVinci (both father and son) was a businessman and project manager. Surya occupies the mercantile, emotionally talkative, communicative cohort instructive descriptive team-working administrative managerial announcing publishing reporting explanatory conversational lyrical messaging 3rd-from-Chandra

Whatever his other liabilities (especially his Shani) the drishti of uttama-Kuja-10 into uttama-Surya-1 creates an extremely vigorous, sexualized, brilliant, competitive, dominating, and regal warrior being.

Chandra * matrikaraka * garha-karaka

• Chandra-Kumbha * comforted by pulsing network linkage
• Chandra in Purvabhadrapada * soothed by expansive understanding * protectors of philosophical doctrine * preaches a broad perspective on human needs

MOTHER

Da Vinci's mother was said to have been a peasant woman of undistinguished lineage. Nevertheless, she would have been networked into an economic community.

MARRIAGE emotional support partnership

7th-from-Chandra-11

As a gay man belonging to the artistic, engineering communities of the Franco-Italian Renaissance , DaVinci would not have enjoyed the privilege of legal marriage. Yet, as an Azvakini native, he likely would not have been concerned with property contracts. DaVinci was known to have formed important relationships with numerous artistic and aristocratic men in his environment.

7th-from-Chandra-11 usually indicates a life-pattern of preference for entertaining, dramatic, flamboyant, fashionable, political partners.

Kuja rules 1-8

Budha * bandhava-karaka * karaha-karaka * zisya-karaka

Harsha Yoga

Budha rules 3-6, but harsha yoga protects against jail (6) and mental collapse (yet Ketu-3 indicates mental disorientation, unfinished projects)

• Budha-Meena * nichha * intuitive communications * articulation of private spiritual guidance * imaginative pronouncements * explains the astral patterns * abstract conversations * symbolic information * foggy thinking * psychic instructions * meditative messages * describes visionary procedures * fuzzy logic * hands-arms-shoulders send dreamlike gestures

Nichha-Budha occupies the family-oriented, treasure-accumulating, historical, values-based 2nd-from-Chandra

The Hands

Da Vinci was ambidextrous, meaning that his right hand and his left hand were equally capable of writing and painting. He was accounted by contemporaries as showing paranoid behaviors, and by modern standards he might be diagnosed with the learning disability called dyslexia.

According to accounts of his peers, LdV could draw in a forward direction with one hand while writing in a backward direction with the other hand. One of his signature skills was a a mirror-image cursive Roman-alphabet script, which he personally could read and he taught his apprentices to read, but which baffled most others.

LdV's pre-eminent skill was drawing. As a draftsman, he produced voluminous sketches for a broad range of ideas, inventions, and possibilities.

Guru * dhavakaraka * bahuta-karaka

• Guru-Kumbha * much networking * many marketplaces * optimistic about big associations * permission to connect * scientific beliefs * doctrine of economic linkage * distributed guidance * expands the scope of social participation * multiple communities * diversity of friendships
• Guru in bhava-11 * great friendliness * much networking * much achievement * big social-participation groups * several large assemblies * numerous revenues * many social-material goals * extensive marketplace linkage * a patron of community exchange systems * in a wifely nativity, husband-figure may be an earner-socialite-networker
• Guru-yuti-Chandra matri-karaka * multiple mother-figures *permission to do what feels good (not always beneficial, see Chandra's nakshatra) * much expansion of folkways * much humanistic cultural philosophy * many gardens * broad scope of sheltering settlements * generous nourishment * believes in defending the old ways of life * usually rather stout

Brihaspati occupies Rahu-ruled Shatavisaka nakshatra, indicating a social network full of visionaries, philosophers, and cosmic-scale thinkers. Da Vinci was reputed to have had an enormous number of diversely talented friends, including mathematicians, musicians, architects, playwrights, engineers, singers, and poets.

LdV was so popular and well-connected that the other normally ostracizing features of his identity (gay, illegitimate, left-handed, a flamboyant dresser, reputedly somewhat paranoid) were never obstacles to his success. Indeed, his remarkable social eccentricities were celebrated.

Zukra * svadhu-karaka * kalatra-karaka

• Zukra-Urisha * swakshetra * valuable arrangements * likes capitalization * appreciates natural resources * pleased by worthy collections * attracted to beautiful sounds * acquisitive sensuality * cherished accruals * financial harmony * prefers luxury-loving partners * richly historic environments * delighted by precious goods
• Zukra-2* swabhava * seeks pleasure via gathered treasuries * enjoys banked assets * bargains toward collected equity * feminine-figures predominate the family * gracious storyteller * pretty preservations * balanced linguistic expression * beautiful voice * pleasing designs to adorn the face * aesthetics of mouth + jaw + teeth + hair * graceful neck * prefers historical values * appreciation of speech-and-song

Zukra occupies the patriotic, nationalistic, comfort-seeking, home-loving, foundational, property-owning 4th-from-Chandra, suggesting that he needed to live in gracious surroundings. Also, his mother's mother (maternal grandmother) is likely to have doted on little daVinci, perhaps providing luxuries and sweets to her grandchild.

Zukra in swakshetra + swabhava + Zukra yogakaraka from Kumbha-Chandra + Zukra in kendra from Chandra-Kumbha

Da Vinci was an accomplished musician. He played the lyre at a high level of artistic and technical proficiency. At his first introduction to the prestigious court of Milano, young Leonardo was presented as a musician not as a fine artist.

Shani * duro-karaka * jara-karaka

• Shani-Kanya * old accusations, obliged to conform to the disagreements, rigid disease conditions, structural compression upon colon + digestive tract, imposed servitude, proletarian medication, elder physicians, insufficient aid, dried medications, must minister to the suffering with scarce available resources
• Shani in Bhava-6 (beneficial placement) * Structured, orderly, time-conscious enemies * must serve the chronic victims * outlasts the adversaries * survives military siege * tense digestion * cautiously conventional crimes * relentless criticism * obligatory guilt * constitutional illness-injury * tolerance for servitude * aging physicians * enduring diseases * service fatigue * helper's burnout * prevents innovative treatments * blocks new medications * professional social workers * patiently aids the disadvantaged * steady healthworker * accepts the rules of medical institutions * lawfully supports the sick * reliable herbalist *conventional pharmacist * protocols for problematizing * mature approach to drug addiction + abuse + crime * governs the poor * regulates debt * legislates loans * respected elder of an oppressed people

Shani occupies the revolutionary, emotionally turbulent, perpetually transformative, trauma-inducing 8th-from-Chandra , suggesting a long life despite many threats to longevity, and a certain stalwart emotional rigidity. The Mother is usually long-lived as well. da Vinci died age 67, which was a healthy age for his era but not nearly so extended as the life of his adversary Michelangelo, who died age 88.

Rahu * rajyalobha-karaka * picchala-karaka (slippery)

• Rahu-Dhanuzya * shimmering illusion of wisdom * craving for philosophical principle * mirage of generous patronage * extraordinary theory * extravagant preaching * unorthodox approach to higher truth * mask of global humanism* fascinating doctrine * over-reaching catechisms * fabulous proselytism * seeks special importance via apparent (but perhaps not authentic) attributes of philosophical belief * seeks privilege via guru-roles
• Rahu in bhava-9 * * passion for preaching * in swabhava of Saptarishi Guru, the Shadowy Specter seeks privilege via glamorous guidance * thrilling theory * dazzling dharma * outsider who cleverly insinuates into patriarchal roles * seeks importance via sacred teachings * fantastic philosophy * compulsive catechesis * zealous proselytism * intriguing ideology * ambitious father-figures * extraordinary professors * barrier-breeching guru-figures * culturally-mixed worldview * poseur of high catechism * shimmering illusion of sangha * fabulous faith community * surreptitious appropriation of priesthood * may appear as a wisdom-purveyor * smoky specter of principled understanding * extravagant globalism * trespasses cultural boundaries of patronage * fabulous fatherhood * opportunistic third marriage (if any) * social mobility via paradigms of belief

Rahu in Zukra-ruled Purvazadha occupies the emotionally associative, community-linking, economically gainful, profit-regulated, friendly, participatory, goal-oriented, socially-networked 11th-from-Chandra.

DaVinci was known for having a large, economically supportive community network. He was well-known + well-liked, despite (or likely because of) his outré clothing style , never short of funds and never deprived of opportunity.

Ketu * kavandha-karaka * chidra-karaka * vasana-karaka (vacuum)

• Ketu-Mithunaya * dissociates from conversation * incomplete messages * empty instructions * absent from discussion * wandering mentality * fragmented signals * not limited by conventional communications * ignores normal business * forgives the sibling-cohort * incoherent scripts * releases a plant-green cloud of explanatory gestures into the misty abyss
• Ketu in classroom-3 * eccentric communications * disinterested in daily chat * writes on foggy abstract topics * dissolves messaging boundaries * implausible prophecy * wandering discussions * can handle esoteric information * irrelevance of normal mental narrative * abandons management tasks * dismisses the standard explanations * disregards conventional discourse * unless other graha in 3, may prefer to live free from younger siblings

Ketu rules the rising nakshatra of inventive Azwini

Unlimited Ketu occupies the creative, showy 5th-from-Chandra. Generally also a signal of preference to not produce biological children but rather generate a higher creativity.

Ketu-3 indicates mental disorientation, unfinished projects. Da Vinci finished only a small percentage of the projects that he conceived at the draft stage. When his painting of The Last Supper was delayed extremely, the monastery that had commissioned this work notoriously threatened to jail him into the monastery until the painting got done.
