Masculine Nativities

Punarvasu-Aditya

Purnavasi * Vutvrta * Jamitra

BPL commentary

For Punarvasu births of a masculine valence, the condition of prosperous, preaching, inclusive, broad-scope, philosophical, humanistic Guru may considerably affect the outcome. Masculine births under auspice of Puna, Visaka, or Purvabhadra may find that their worldview is greatly shaped by the character of priestly teachers and guides.

For those born into the Guru-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 often has a global perspective. The majority of Aditya-born nativities are higher dimensional Seva-wanderers who assume interpretive guidance roles.

Instructing, Explaining, Describing

Mithunaya-Dvamdva pada 1-2-3 represents 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 capacity for evocative description or inspirational speaking. Often excellent writers who can facilitate spiritual growth via specific explanation and detailed 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....

Although the Higher Teacher seeks wisdom, for Karkata-Punarvasu the guru-figure may also be adversarial, impoverished, polluted, or ailing (due to Brihaspati 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 81

"... from Arudra to Punarvasu, a startling change in mental development.

In Punarvasu, the native is possessed of profound intelligence,

• capable of delving into and understanding all manner of philosophical and metaphysical postulates.

He revels in abstract thought

• and has a lively and profound imagination.

He may be also a poet of high attainment, expressing a fire and vitality in his verse

• which is the result of an unusually passionate temperament.

He will, however, be only moderately successful by worldly standards during his lifetime

• although unlike the Arudra native, he will not experience poverty."

Dad self-medicated with alcohol, to the extreme of drinking industrial poisons in his disordered distress. His father despite high birth rank was remanded to an insane asylum and the family plunged into poverty. Conan-Doyle visited his father periodically and even included his father's artistic illustrations in some of the Sherlock Holmes serials, but dad was never released from the insane-prison.

After Charles Altamont Doyle's mental breakdown in mid-life, dad was institutionalized permanently, leaving the family in a state of struggle . Surya in bhava-12 suggests an invisible father. Mom developed a second, undisclosed alliance Chandra-8 . Thus neither parent is much supportive albeit there remains a safety net composed of uncles. friends of the family, mother's companion.

Dad remains a connected friend

Despite the grim prospects of 'dual diagnosis' mental illness combined with extreme alcoholism, dad was an artistically gifted and productive illustrator.

Father remained a working artist and C-D published several of his father's drawings in C-D's books. Mangala Vriddhi-pati provides a lifelong friendship with the dad as well. There is no abandonment or link-breaking between the father and son. Arthur Conan-Doyle accepted custodial responsibility and visiting dad regularly.
