Rising Nakshatra Masculine Nativities Bhaga * Falgun * Utthram BPL commentary For Uttaraphalguni births of a masculine valence, the condition of radiant, romantic, intelligent, creative, idealistic, central, confident, gaming, self-reflexive, pitrikaraka Surya may considerably affect the outcome. For those born into the Surya-ruled paradigm of Uttora, father-figures, politicians, celebrity, royalty, entitled roles, brilliant dramatists, radiant deities, sparkling genius, glittering creativity, intelligentsia, speculators, poets, romantic lovers, gamblers, and game-players may be especially influential. Uttara-phalguni chaps are famously hot-headed. Instructional guidance provided by emissaries from the civilizations of Denebola. Their purpose to brighten and glorify the divine intelligence through spectacular creativity. Brilliantly dramatic Simha-Leya pada-1 = radiant confidence, flamboyance, and remarkable intelligence. While much depends upon the characteristics of nakshatra-pati Surya, the Falgun birth of masculine valence favors dramatic displays of celebrity, romance, creativity, and entitlement. Kanya pada 2-3-4 = equally smart and authoritative, but more focused upon personal enclosure and distant lands, often wielding power from a hermitage, sanctuary, or secluded location. May be an empowered politician of international ability, according to the strengths of nakshatra-pati Surya. Although Shil Ponde's description often fits the Kanya pada 2-3-4 of Uttaraphalguni, the Simha pada-1 is rarely rough or ungrateful. Still, they can be impatient with others who are less confident or less intelligent. Themes of political power, radiant creativity, and bright celebrity drama may contextualize Utthram's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Uttaraphalguni-Aryaman |
QUOTATION from Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 83 "a proud and arrogant disposition,
Uttara natives are extremely intelligent but because of their inordinate pride,
and are ungrateful to those from whom they receive these favors."

Billy Graham 1966, television studio economic gains from preaching on making the promise, redemption, bargains, equity == estimated 25million_USD net worth at the time of death Rescue of failing Crusades by Newspapers 1863-1951 plutocrat William Randolph Hearst In early1949 during Surya-Budha bhukti * Budha-yuti-Rahu-2 speech, Rev. William "Billy" Graham's Los Angeles Crusade was playing to an empty house. The audience had dwindled, expenses could not be paid, and the operators were going to shut down the failed revival meetings. Suddenly [Rahu] he saw the flashing of camera lights as the aisles filled with newspaper reporters [Budha]. The billionaire plutocrat, pro-fascist, and virulent anti-Communist media magnate Newspapers 1863-1951 plutocrat William Randolph Hearst had heard Graham speak. W.R. Hearst had commanded battalions of newspaper and radio journalists to vigorously promote Graham's anti-Communist Crusade. Their salaries were paid by Hearst. Although most religious leaders in the USA were careful to respect the legal distinction between church and state, Newspapers 1863-1951 plutocrat William Randolph Hearst was a fascist for whom there were no such protections since "all was bound together". Fascisti do not respect legal distinctions, Rather, they seek a mandatory, centralized, uniform power. Hearst wanted to see more binding between politics and religion within Euro-American culture, and in Graham he found an excellent tool. Follow the Funding For Hearst, more Christianity meant less Communism. During the final two years of Hearst's life, Hearst significantly funded Graham's ministry . Graham's preaching ever afterward reflected the [nīcha] Surya willingness to say what the cintamani * mani * money (combust Shukra) required him to say.

Mutual drishti Guru-10--Puna + Mangala-4-Mula [Mūla] Kuja can promote actions [Kuja] that are radically transformative, even annihilating [Mūla]. Graham preached a radical [Mūla] sermon [Mithunaya] asserting that American-ism = Christian-ism. [Mūla] Kuja in 6/8 from Ketu-9 ideology Ketu-9 disregards the historic [Urisha] principled (9) distinction between Church and State. Graham did not espouse any specific sacred catechism. His primary exhortation to accept a liberating [Ketu] release of personal salvation was awkwardly (6/8) combined with sporadic additional exhortations to ethical ethno-nationalism (4-10). BG's early financial supporter, the noted fascist Newspapers 1863-1951 plutocrat William Randolph Hearst, used BG's Christian Nationalism to promote Hearst's agenda of morality legislation (4-10).

Bends to the will of stronger personalities. Graham dealt steadily and patiently with racial bigotry in Protesting Christian worship settings. Consistent with Guru-10, BG declared a culture of acceptance and inclusion. On one occasion, BG arranged bail for USA Civil Rights 1929-1968 Rev. Martin Luther King. Yet Graham also politicked to defeat POTUS-35 Profiles in Courage 1917-1963 John F. Kennedy because Kennedy practiced Roman-rite Catholicism Graham also made some bitterly anti-Semitic comments during his fateful, hateful taped conversations with POTUS-37 Watergate 1913-1994 Richard Nixon. | |

Rising Nakshatra Feminine Nativities Visaka * Radha Indra-agni * Aindra-agna * Zkragni * Satragni * Sadvhava * Vaikaasi * Vaigasi * Visagaam BPL commentary For Visaka births of a feminine valence, the condition of prosperous, preaching, inclusive, broad-scope, philosophical, humanistic Brihaspati may considerably affect the outcome. Due to the definitive influence of dhava-karaka Guru, ladies born in Puna, Visaka, or Purvabhadra may find that their worldview is greatly shaped by the character of the masculine companion. For those born into the Guru-ruled paradigm of Radhika, 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. Guided by patrons from the civilizations of Saka. Their purpose is facilitation of shocking insights by lightning-strike and expansive growth by root-splitting.. High forehead. Saptarishi-ruled births come equipped with a global perspective. The majority of Visaka nativities are higher dimensional Seva-wanderers who assume interpretive guidance roles. Growth Shocks Tula-Vanika pada 1-2-3 expresses Saptarishi's rulership of 3-Writing-commerce + 6-service ministry or victimhood. Pada 1-2-3 also evoke the tension between Shukra's one-to-one relationships versus Guru's one-to-many preachings. Pada 1-2-3 may be experts on the subject of relationships, both seen and unseen. They have a broad understanding of the power of polarities. They are often found in advising and recommending roles [Shukra] which engage ideology or theory [Guru] such as psychotherapy, university teaching, policy consultant, or political lobby. Although the husband is globally minded, for Tula-Visaka, the husband may also be impoverished or ailing (due to Guru activates 3-6 from Tula). Vṛścika Pada-4 emphasizes Guru's rulership of 2-treasury, collections ++ 5-creativity, entitlement, politics. Pada 4 enjoys the spirited compatibility between Guru's optimism + Kuja's kinetic action. Their husbands are charming, speculative, and affluent. Pada-4 has a broad understanding of the ultimate power of transformative beliefs. Pada-4 ladies are often found in teaching and healing work, especially when using their expertise with the sexual-reproductive energies. Themes of shocking growth via beliefs, widening expansion via root-splitting, and fertilization via jolts of electromagnetic Shakti may contextualize Visaka's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Viśākha-Rādhā |
QUOTATION from Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra .p 97. "... delicate features and a soft pleasing voice.
Underneath she has a strong character, even hard at times.
She will be distinctly appealing to the opposite sex
Her husband will be well-to-do if not wealthy
She will be fond of travel and change
Her favorite color is red or crimson. She has beautifully shaped legs."

Mangala yuvati-pati rules 7 occupies 6th-from-7th. BG was a vigorous, world-traveling salvation preacher with a devoted following. His rhetoric emphasized values of honor, integrity, and respect. Yet, the couple experienced long separations which were publically announced as being due to BG's demanding global ministry. Essentially a single mother, RBG raised their children with the help of her own parents, while BG traveled. Similar to the Eisenhowers, they lived together only in retirement. While RBG has Ketu-7, BG has Ketu in his 7th-from-Chandra. Often for the feminine Thula nativity, the husbandly-companion creates a challenging pattern because Guru dhavakaraka rules 3 + 6.
