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

QUOTATION from Shil-Ponde [1939] Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra . p 93

" ... will be successful in everything she undertakes.

If she elects to have a career of her own,

she will become very well known and highly respected.

If she marries,

she will have a husband and children who adore her
and her domestic life will be most happy .

Her house will be orderly and well kept,

as she is very particular and discriminating,
and insists on beautiful and harmonious surroundings for herself and family.

Her health is good

except that she will suffer from gastric complaints
and must be careful in her diet."

OUTCOMES - BRIHAS-PATI

Dhanayoga = Guru rules 11-from-11 ++ Guru occupies-11

Teresa had 99 problems, but money was not one of them.
Her father was highly affluent, and Dad provided generously for her lifestyle and her social-community projects [11].

Guru occupies the divinely optimistic 9th-from-Chandra

Guru in 6th-from-6th * enemies of the enemies * diseases which attack other diseases

When abundant Guru occupies 6th-from-6th, one's own enemies [and Teresa had plenty] also have many enemies of their own. Guru occupies 6th-from-6th is not a cancellation but rather a compensation, which tends to balance the playing field and prevent one's enemies from ever gaining a decisive advantage.

Santa Teresa suffered a lifetime of illness. However, even following extremely debilitating sicknesses, she recovered sufficiently and returned to work.

[Guru in bhava-11] rogesha activates 6 ++ Guru occupies 6th-from-6th.

extra empowerment via [uchcha] Shukra in 11th-from-11th.

Teresa had /99 problems/ but one of them was not mani-money.

In an exceptional rare situation for women in her times, Teresa had personal treasury from her father [Shukra-9].

She was also remarkably successful in calling upon wealthy aristocrats Shukra parivartamsha [Guru-yuti-Mangala-11] to continuously fund [11] her reforms

OUTCOMES - SHANI

Publications

[Shani in Bhava-5] [Jyeṣṭha -1] occupies the emotionally talkative, communicative cohort instructive descriptive team-working administrative managerial announcing publishing reporting explanatory conversational lyrical messaging 3rd-from-Chandra

Shani occupies Vṛścika-5 Arudha Lagna, suggesting public recognition for her creative writings

TA writings predominantly described the intensive, largely hidden, often dangerous, experiences of profound spiritual transformation that she endured [Shani-Vṛścika] [Jyeṣṭha -1]

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.

However, Shani-Vṛścika also receives drishti of Guru-yuti-Mangala-Urisha-11
which helped to counteract depression with an optimistic [Guru] activist [Kuja] energy and faith.

Strict Social Limits on Creative Transformation

Shani in Bhava-5 imposes strict rules that limit the permitted scope of romance, entertainment, drama, creativity, children.

Religious reformer of the Carmelite Order of celibate women.
Romance permitted only with the metaphorical lover

Under much duress [legalistic Shani-Vṛścika-5] organized the reformed Carmelite order of Catholic monks and nuns

TA's written [Jyestha] rules-for-transformation still govern the cloisters to this day.

Health endangerment from Mortification of the Flesh

Shani in dangerously intensive Vrischika rules [6th-from-Chandra],

[Shani rules Kumbha-Ketu-8].

Teresa suffered a lifetime of illness, due at least partly to extreme self-deprivation commonly celebrated [5] in medieval times as mortification

No Children, despite Guru drishti into Chandra

Shani-5 randhresha

Shani mature acceptance of cycles of Birth-and-Death

TA lived a full productive lifespan, regardless of obstacles and pain.

Her instructional, explanatory spiritual books are still in print 500 years after first publication.

Her illnesses never crippled her mind due to disregarding Ketu in 6th-from-Chandra.

In an era when the predominant catechism taught that much greater horrors awaited the impious in the afterlife,
TA considered chronic pain to be a normal and acceptable consequence of terrestrial embodiment.

OUTCOMES - RAHU-Magha-2

[Rahu-Singha] in Magha is highly spiritualized, drawing confidence from dissolution of outdated rules, empowered by magical inner Fire

Often a liberating figure in spiritual politics

Family Finance, truth-values - Rahu in bhava-2

opportunistic Capitalization, Voice-Face, outsider sparkles with worthiness, culturally-mixed truth

Declaring dramatic values, challenge to outdated assessments

[Rahu in bhava-2] seeks privilege via important - often risky - cultural-mixing roles in evaluation, assessment, language, memory, knowledge, voice-speech-song, face-genetics, heritage, tradition, family lineage, food, seeds, herds-hoards, storage-stories-history, libraries, museums, databases, collections, banking, reserves, preservation, assets, capital wealth.

PREACHING

Rahu-2 speech occupies the imaginative, Other-Worldly, prayerful, meditation-seeking [12th-from-Chandra]

Rahu in 12th-from-Chandra receives physically envigorating drishti of Mangala.

FAMILY illusion, expedient appearances

Rahu-2 Generally, indicates both financial ambition in the lineage, and unusual circumstances within the family

Rahu-Magha in bhava-2 indicates the family culture, traditional values, history, legacy focused into the spiritualized impermanence, dissolution, liberation of Magha the Fire-Priest

Teresa was born into financially privileged and influential merchant family. There was a political complexity of her lineage [Rahu-Simha] due to the extreme dangers of Inquisition Era.

Her family genetics were both Arab and Jew by ancestry, but survival required them to appear [Rahu] as Euro-Christians.

Bhava-2 gets drishti of danger-limiting, conformist Shani.

Her paternal grandfather belonged to the marrano [pejorative term for forcible converts] Jewish community.

Under threat of death or torture along with loss of all lands, assets and rights,

During the hideous brutalities of Spanish Inquisition, those who would be called marranos [a derogatory term meaning pigs] were forced to [appear to] convert to Christianity.

TA's father was born into a converso family. He purchased a knighthood and assimilated into Christian society, marrying a pious Christian wife of similar background.

As a preacher, Teresa proselytized to her own community of Spanish conversos.

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."

"and now my friends,

all that is true, all that is noble,

all that is just and pure,

all that is loveable and gracious,

whatever is excellent and admirable -

fill all your thoughts with these things."

~~ Paul of Tarsus, Epistle to the Philippians 4:8
