Rising Nakshatra Feminine Public-Figure Examples Purnavasi - Vutvrta - Jamitra BPL COMMENTARY For Saptarishi births of a feminine valence, the condition of prosperous, preaching, inclusive, broad-scope, philosophical, humanistic Guru may considerably affect the outcome. Due to the definitive influence of dhava-karaka Guru, ladies born in Puna, Viśākha, or Purvabhadra may find that their worldview is greatly shaped by the character of the husband. For those born into the Brihaspati-ruled paradigm of Jamitra, teachers, preachers, professors, patrons, agents of generosity and guidance, guru-figures, ideologues, indoctrinators, theorists, know-it-alls, proselytes, philosophers, pontificators, patriarchs, pundits, pater-nosters, proponents of principled understanding, wise-ones, wizards, druids, and paradigms of belief may be especially influential.. Guidance is provided by emissaries from the realm of the Twin Gardeners called Castor-and-Pollux. Their purpose is restoration, renewal, and rehabilitation of lost knowledge.. High forehead. Punarvasu have a global perspective. The majority of Aditya-born nativities are higher dimensional Seva-wanderers who assume interpretive guidance roles. Instructing, Explaining, Describing [Mithuna - Dvamdva] pada 1-2-3 represent Guru's rulership of 7-agreements ++ 10-leadership, while also expressing the tension between broad-view Brihaspati versus detail-oriented Bantering Budha. Pada 1-2-3 are blessed with an expansive human wisdom for evocative writing or speaking. Often excellent writers who can facilitate spiritual growth via specific explanation and description. Pada 1-2-3 are often found in the literary arts, in teaching roles, in academic advising, as travel guides, and as poets who describe the natural world. [Karkata - Kadaga] -pada-4 represents Guru's rulership of 6-imbalance ++ 9-philosophy. Pada-4 also embodies the tension between global, paternalistic Guru versus local, motherly Chandra. Often these remarkable women are found in the gardening and domestic realms. Natural herbal physicians, they understand and can elicit the wisdom of the mineral, plant, and animal kingdoms. Pada-4 may also emerge into the religious professions where they may grow a garden of psycho-intuitive understanding. Although the priestly husband seeks wisdom, for Karkata-Punarvasu the husband may also be adversarial, polluted, impoverished, or ailing [due to Guru activates 6]. Themes of restoration of lost knowledge , gardening, fertility of understanding, wish fulfillment, and conceptual teaching may contextualize Aditya's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Punarvasu |

Depression Shani can indicate a tendency toward depression from overwork. Cruelty buffered by Wealthy Friends Teresa lived in cruel times (mid-1500's CE). She would have observed more than adequate evidence to support a negativist viewpoint.

[dramatizing-political Dhaniṣṭha-1] [navamsha Ketu-Simha]
OUTCOMES - KETU Ketu-8 occult knowledge occupies the emotionally hostile and contentious [6th-from-Chandra] Associated with death occuring in a state of deep meditation, contemplation, reflective prayer, or other variety of dispersed awareness of physicality Kumbha distribution systems Dispersing Ketu TA's corpse was literally torn apart to make relics for veneration. Competing Catholic religious sects of priests, monks, and nuns all wanted a piece of the saint's holy and non-decomposing body to keep in their local reliquaries. |

QUOTATION from the writings of Santa Teresa " It is love alone that gives worth to all things." "accustom yourself continually to make many acts of love, for they enkindle and melt the soul." " Do not be dismayed, at the number of things which you have to consider before setting out on this divine journey, which is the royal road to heaven. By taking this road we gain such precious treasures that it is no wonder if the cost seems to us a high one. The time will come when we shall realize that all we have paid has been nothing at all by comparison with the greatness of our prizes." " Each of us has a soul, but we forget to value it. We don't remember that we are creatures made in the image of God. We don't understand the great secrets hidden inside of us ." [randhresha-8 [uchcha] Shukra in lagna] " Prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God." |
