Masculine Public-Figure Examples

Sadachbia - Varuna

= Shatavisaka - Shata-takara

BPL COMMENTARY

For Shata-taraka births of a masculine valence, the disposition of mesmerizing, hypnotic, shadowy, exciting, passionate, ambitious, opportunistic, privilege-seeking Professor Rāhu may considerably affect the outcome .

For those born into the Rahu-ruled paradigm of Sadabija, exotics, ethnic mixers, opportunists, fascinators, mesmerizers, privilege-seekers, impostors, rogues, intensifiers of passion and desire, self-proclaimers, self-promoters, agents-provocateur , charlatans, masters of smoke and oils, and entrancingly ambitious persons may be especially influential.

Instructional guidance provided by emissaries from the civilizations of Sadachbia* Tabernacles. Their purpose is mixing of systems.

Mixed-Order Systems

[Risk-rewarding Rāhu] -ruled fellows who are born into Sata are often found in fascinating roles that boost mass consciousness. Sata births are somewhat rare. Sadachbia work with large regulated systems such as mathematics, scientific theories, and sacred cosmology ++ with formalized psychic sciences such as hypnosis.

Sadabija gentlemen may display principled methods of inquiry, and they may hold dignified social positions, but their personal lifestyles are often unorthodox. Their work often overturns an outdated social paradigm of scientific theory or religious belief.

Like all Kumbha-born, their treasure-hoard expands via globalist, philosophical Brihaspati.

Themes of over-reaching, charlatanry, entrancement, expedient linkage, hypnotic appearance, and connections between contradictory systems may contextualize Sata's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Sadachbia - Varuna

QUOTATION Varuna

from Shil-Ponde.[1939] . Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 88 .

"a quiet and unassuming person,

thoughtful and meditative

  • yet given to sudden outbursts of temper.

Lives in the mental world rather than in the physical.

Prefers solitude to the company of others.

  • Does not care for small talk

  • and finds social contact rather tiresome.

Many astrologers and philosophers found with Shatataraka on the Rising Point."

A light eater and moderate in most things."

[end quote, Shil Pondey, 1939]

CAREER - SPARKLING SURYA

  • astrological remedies for disagreement, disease, dispute

Surya-6 rules kārakāmsha = Simha bhava-7 = peer-to-peer advising [7 contains Shukra-Kuja-Budha, indicating an active consulting practice] .

Counselor, adviser, negotiator, alliance-maker = Rulers of bhava-3, bhava-4, bhava-5, bhava-8, bhava-9, and bhava-10 occupy the 7th sthāna of advocacy and peer-advising.

FATHER

[Surya in bhava-6] may suggest exploitation, disability, illness, or servitude of the father. Surya in bhava-6 can also indicate a father who serves in a ministry such as criminal attorney, social worker, medicine, supporting laborers, or military.

BVR's father suffered from weak eyesight, became blind at age 40, and remained in poor health for most of his life.

Rahu the boundary-breaking speaker in 9th-from-Surya = paternal grandfather the eminent Karnataka Jyotiṣika, prof. B. Suryanarain Rao .

pitrikaraka Surya - intelligence, creativity, father

bhava-6 = environments wherein one takes a central, paternalistic role

Ravi's dispositor, the [uchcha] Chandra-Mriga , pada-1 = 11th-from-Surya-6 = produces gainfulness via intelligence and creative literature. This yoga can grant political fame, which he achieved by making accurate WorldWar-2 predictions in the Indian press. Yet Chandra is severely oppressed by Scarcity-imposing Shanaicarya. His business partnerships were draining. His partnerships induced servitude

Shri Raman's Karka-Surya occupies Bhava-6 = ministry of service. He originally trained in zoological sciences and homeopathy, because he was planning for a career in medicine.

Periods of yuvati-pati Surya are mixed, throwing light upon the Jyotisha dynamics of relationships and opening new contractual opportunities, yet exposing underlying imbalances in expectation.

yuvati-pati-7 in Bhava-6 conflict is associated with a marital union characterized by poverty and illness. Often the spouse hails from a service-class background. One may find that the professional reputation [7th = 10th from 10th] is sullied by debt, by association with the poor and marginalized, or with beggars and other denizens of the scheduled classes.

Often the profession requires hard work equal to servitude, so that while one may enjoy an independent consultancy one feels as it were enslaved to the consulting work.

yuvati-pati in the roga-bhava ripa-bhava ari-bhava may also suggest a loss or draining [12th] of balanced agreements [7] in marriage, business partnerships, and advising/counseling relationships. Perhaps fees are not paid as expected, or other contractual expectations not met.

  • d. Raman's birth family was dogged by poverty and debt. His widowed father was disabled by blindness. After his father's remarriage, bVR was largely ignored by his disabled father [Surya-6, ill father] .

  • BVR worked tremendously long hours, and his chosen profession/obsession of traditional Jyotisha consulting is famously low-paying. Nearly every day of his life he worked long hours on his readings, lectures, books and magazines, until his death at age 86 -- on December 20, 1998. Much of the work was done at home rogesha-6 in 4.

BVR's main paid-work was marriage match-making

he also consulted on political pairings and equity arrangements in business deals '7

QUOTATION Behari/Das * Mangala-Singha, mangala in bhava-7

" You could be a reputed astrologer.

  • You will have only one devoted spouse, whom you will also love. ...

  • You will have mixed results. For some periods you will be at the top and for some periods at the bottom.

Gambling tendency will make your life miserable."

QUOTATION Behari/Das commentary

" This is a powerful Mars.

  • You are family conscious -- either something happens to blemish the family's reputation, or you are simply very aware of and desirous of being a part of a "dignified" family.

  • Spends a lot, runs into debt.

  • Difficulty in improving the career position.

  • Wants money to come easily, without hard work.

Prone to speculation, gambling, or get rich quick schemes."

In The Autobiography of a Vedic Astrologer, BV-Raman describes dozens of commercial ventures, very few of which go right on the first attempt. Often he loses money. He recounts various moments where his schemes fail to earn where expected because someone does not keep a promise [7] or Raman is unable to produce his own contribution to the deal. Clearly he is an inveterate deal-maker with three graha in Simha-7 . Yet with yuvati-pati Surya-6, there are more failures than successes, overall.

Occasionally a project did succeed. Typically succeeds comes after a poor start, incurring debt, frustration. But eventually several ventures do succeed. The strongest material successes come with persistence from his legacy knowledge-bank in Jyotisha. Rahu in bhava-2 grants treasuries of extraordinary knowledge.

In the end, the signature work of his career was reviving his paternal grandfather's respected journal, the Astrological Magazine. Although ultimately successful, the revival was stressful as it performed poorly for several years before it became internationally subscribed.

" Jupiter enables you to acquire occult wisdom and to discover hidden knowledge through extensive research, though you may experience difficulties in this pursuit.

Tula = diplomacy and negotiations = 10th navamsha

Shukra activates the [10th navamsha] ++ Shukra occupies radix-7, suggesting a profession of counseling and advising.

This is the astrologer's professional reality. From early childhood, b.V. Raman studied under his paternal grandfather the famous South Indian Jyotiṣika Prof. B. Suryanarain Rao . He diligently attended grandfather's client sessions as a youth. When authorized by grandfather, young Raman began advising on his own.

Shukra = [Yogakaraka] for Kumbha indriya-lagna .

bandesha-4 +Dharmesha-9 Shukra

Yuvati bhava 10th-from-10th - day-to-day interactions, daily reality:

Shukra gains additional strength in kendra.

  • Bhava-7 = 10th-from-10th = the partnering, peer-advising, counseling, mentoring relationships which compose the foundation of public career.

Shukra shares the counseling-advising functions with Vidyapthi-5+randhresha-8 Budha and vikrama-pati+karmesha -10 Kuja .

Shri Raman's career is complex, involving articulate expressions [Budha] of personal genius leading to fame [5] and secret/tantric knowledge [8] along with vigorously productive [Kuja] writings and conference presentations [3] and leadership authority in his profession.

  • Shukra receives no graha drishti.

  • Busy Budha activates 9th-from-pitristhana

    [paternal grandfather] while Kuja is dispositor of Guru who rules 9th-from-Surya . Role of the paternal grandfather is very favorable and tightly engaged with B.V. Raman's professional work.

Shukra the Adviser

Bhava-4 = Arudha of karma-sthāna = Karma-Pada = public imagery or associations

Professor Bright Beautiful Bhrigu teaching in the Bhava-7 classroom tends to counteract some of the partnership imbalance,

Shri Raman does have a strong public aura but it is mixed character due to the niṣṭhurabhāṣi yoga, where + [uchcha] Shani yuti uttama Soma occupy Bhava-4.

  • The public illusion associated with his career or the impression he gave to the public was of being a hardworking, sincere person of very modest means [Shani] - with some emotional constrictions [Shani/Soma] .

  • Such a person may experience a degree of emotional insecurity. Perhaps one tries too hard, or is too attached to the Rules.

  • The niṣṭhurabhāṣi yoga-4 nativity has been traumatized by emotional loss paired with a strict or scarcity-impacted upbringing, and as a result one is often anxious to establish his dignity.

Yet + [uchcha] Chandra = also part of the aura or public impression, and [uchcha] Chandra may grant a deep, reliable intuition.

So there is public respect too, for one who lives consciously moral, austere life. Perhaps one is a bit arrogant regarding the virtue of practicing austerities, or rigid in respect to rules of the social order [caste, jyat, shani] and taciturn in judgment [Shani] of others' foibles noticed by others as a certain schadenfreude.

Still, the foundational [4] self-discipline has established a channel for authentic psycho-emotional perception [uttama Soma] which provides the power to perform exceptionally accurate Jyotisha evaluations [Vrishabha, value] r.

CAREER - SOBER SHANI

niṣṭhurabhāṣi Yoga

Challenges of receiving affection from parental figures, especially the maternal figures. Caretakers tend to be conditional and emotionally withholding. Little unconditional love can flow due due to early-life loss of Mother. Emotional expectations acquire a negative, even punitive, valance and there are emotional imbalances in nurturing partnerships especially marriage.

when Shani freezes Chandra., the expected nourishment does not flow. Nevertheless, there are many corrections from excellent planets elsewhere in the chart.

Stoic Shani activates the emotionally dignified , social-ordering, leadership-seeking 10th-from-Chandra = Kumbha-1 = Shatataraka

  • emotional need for leadership as a uniquely distinctive individual known for his scientific prowess [Kumbha]. His professional reputation was grounded through his mathematical focus, rigorous research methods [in the pre-electronic era] , and scientific testing [Kumbha].
  • Before computers arrived to automate mathematical accuracy, raman felt that he had a mission to educate a generation of computationally accurate astrologers, who would stop making the mathematical errors which had cursed Jyotisha for millennia.

Stoic Shani activates scientific Kumbha indriya-lagna particularly Sadachbia = systems-mixer = harbinger of New Age * age of Aquarius * Aquila. BVR's efforts helped energize the 20th-century migration of Jyotishavidya toward the West.

Shani lagnesha = location of life force, natural sphere of action

Shani = kharesha

lagnesha Shani systems in Bhava-4 shows strong physical propensity toward teaching of cultural fundamentals.

Lagnesha in bhava-4 Generally, indicates not so much a proclivity toward the philosophical or higher principles aspects of doctrine. Rather it is an angle of orientation toward foundational, elementary teachings. The teach-able moments can include moral advice-giving in context of counseling.

The Autobiography of a Vedic Astrologer often says that BVR felt his Brahmin cultural legacy gave him certain moral role-modeling responsibilities, an obligation to teach by doing, by living a moral life.

Shri Raman worked primarily at home [4] where he completed almost all of his life's literary work, of writing for private clients and for publication.

Lagnesha Shani yuti rogesha-6 Chandra not only creates a niṣṭhurabhāṣi yoga which is in reality a lifelong Sade-Sati, but also kept Shri Raman in poor health, impoverished and humble for most of his lifer.

RAHU RULES SHATATARAKA

Desire [Rahu] to be recognized as an important holder of treasuries of financial well-being or historical knowledge

Although 2nd pada of Rahu-ruledShatataraka Nakshatra is known to be a location of birth for astrologers and healers, is it also associated with gambling [Rahu]. This pada often produces a proliferation of business adventures: some win some lose. Finance = roller-coaster.

Fellow shata-taraka native de Mundi Systemate 1643-1727 Isaac Newton also complained about losing large amounts of his capital into failed investments and fraudulent commerce. In Newton' case the most colossal losses were from bad contracts in the shipping trade.

The great astrologer Harmonices Mundi 1571-1630 Johannes Kepler was also beset by various complex business schemes which mainly ended in frustration and debt, although the few which succeeded were prosperous. [Rahu-8] ruled by [uchcha-Chandra-6]
