Rising Nakshatra Masculine Nativity Yoni - Bhagadaivata - Prakphalguni - Arjuni BPL COMMENTARY For Purvaphalguni - Yoni - births of a masculine valence, the condition of sweetly musical, artistic, harmony-seeking, negotiating, balancing, arranging, designing, matching, pairing, sensually pleasuring akarshana-karaka Bright Beautiful Bhrigu may considerably affect the outcome. Due to the definitive influence of kalatra-karaka Shukra, gentlemen born into the realms of Bharani - Yamya, Pūrvaphalgunī - Yonī, or Pūrvāṣāḍhā may find that their worldview is greatly shaped by the character of the feminine companions. For those born into the Shukra-ruled paradigm of Vutavabana, feminine figures such as sisters, aunts, and wives, along with partnerships, contracts, bargains, sensual pleasures, lovers, artistic beauty, luxurious scents, treasuries, financial arrangements, and music , may be especially influential. Instructional guidance provided by emissaries from the civilizations of Zosma. Their purpose is to dramatize, glamorize, and politicize the grand theatrical values of creative life. Diplomatic charm [Suave Shukra] -ruled Purvaphalguni gentlemen are often found in the sparkling bright worlds of politics , romantic idealism, entertainment, speculative finance, and spectator sports. Yoni-born chaps often display a thick mane of leonine hair and a charming sense of humor. They are happiest when enjoying a choreographed sport, playing music, dancing with agility and grace, or performing a richly costumed dramatic role for an appreciative audience, Delighted by spectacle and applause, they glitter and smile at parties, political campaigns, gambling and games.. Depending upon the placements of dhanakaraka Shukra and dhana=pati Budha, the Purvarjuni-born may also excel in financial showmanship, bargaining toward a political or commercial agreement, and the high drama of romantic relationships. Like all Shukra-governed births, Bhagadaivata-born must take care to avoid the misuse of drugs and alcohol. Political success depends upon the charisma of lagnesha Surya. Financial success depends upon the dual-dhanakaraka Shukra and Budha. Themes of political celebrity, lavish musical entertainments, arts and fashion, and financial agreements may contextualize Pubba's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra-Purvaphalguni. |
QUOTATION from Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 83 " A physical rather than a mental type.
He must guard against impulsiveness since he is apt to act without sufficient thought
He is very active physically and will be proficient at various sports
These people seem never to rest and are constantly in motion.
[end quote]

IF... a poem by Rudyard Kipling "If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you But make allowance for their doubting too, If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream, and not make dreams your master, If you can think, and not make thoughts your aim If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings, nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you If all men count with you, but none too much, If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And, which is more, you'll be a Man, my son! |

[Mangala in bhava-5 -Mula] rules
Childhood home, security, protection [Mangala Mahadasha] [age birth until age 5.6] Kipling accounted the earliest years of life to have been blissful and idyllic. He remembered the joy of a close supportive bond with his parents, their siblings [his uncles and aunts] and his younger sister.

Icon of British Paternalism [Guru-yuti-Surya] In his day, Kipling was an enormously feted writer and poet-laureate RK appeared to many of his Edwardian generation to have epitomized [Surya] the experience of a colonial ruling patriarchy The overlords were portrayed as kindly wise patrons [Guru] providing principled understanding [Guru] to the childlike, underdeveloped populations of their colonies.

In additional she served as secretary, and pre-press manuscript editor
Shani-Tula = yuvati-pati. Husband and wife were inextricably business-partners. Due to Carrie's highly effective, mercantile ordering behaviors
However, karmesha Shukra-Mula occupies 6/8 from Chandra
[Shukra-5] occupies the trauma-inducing, discovering, revealing, danger-seeking 8th-from-Chandra = variety of additional, hidden relationships.
Mūla takes potentially annihilating risks. Mangala + Shukra + Budha [all three at 2-deg Mula]
[Sober Shani] duro-karaka [endurance] * jara-karaka [Jahre, years] [inimical-medicating rogesha for Simha indriya-lagna] [balancing-bargaining yuvati-pati for Simha indriya-lagna] [obligation to report on trades] [regulates announcements about alliances] [disagreements cautiously managed] ...

hardworking, architectural [uchcha-Shani in Bhava-3] rules
Carrie Balestier [Shukra] and her publisher family [Dhanus 2nd-from-7th-from-Chandra] were RK's exclusive agents.
******** NOBEL PRIZE for LITERATURE - 1907 Dec-1907 [RK age 42] Nobel Prize in Literature
A small group of well-connected men [3, small groups, teams] decide who receives Nobel Prizes.
The all-male cohort included vigorously ideological supporters of Empire, and of Kipling's style of celebrating British cultural hegemony.
Shani rogesha occupies 6th-from-Chandra Time not kind to RK's literary "genius" Following WW-2, the colonialist enthusiasm had dissipated and the glorious Empire collapsed.
Eventually, literary critics deprecatedRK's work as a romanticized artifact of Imperial culture.
Sadly, RK's literary reputation has not withstood the test of time. Modern literary critics tend to disparage his characterizations as condescending [Guru-Surya self-righteousness] rather than intriguing. After WW-2, RK's 1907 Nobel Prize in Literature began to be cited as a cautionary example [Shani] of incorrect prize criteria used by the coterie of prize-givers
******** Orderly Shani imposes a Disciplined and Productive Literary Life
Despite their personality mismatches, Rudyard and Carrie Kipling teamworked productively, for decades.
Shani-3 rogesha in 6th-from-Chandra = suppressed quarreling Carrie was said to have been bitter about RK's long sojourns from their home. Her husband either stayed with his indulgent parents [Chandra] or commingled in men's clubs with gentlemen of similar tastes [Mūla-Kuja] .
Elder spouse Shani drishti upon Shukra while Shukra owns Shani
[Risk-taking Rahu] rajyalobha-karaka [ambition] picchala-karaka [slippery] [for Simha indriya-lagna] [Rahu casts passionate drishti into 6-8-10] ... [creative-political Chitra-1] [navamsha Rahu-Simha]
OUTCOMES - RAHU Chitra-Rahu-Parthya imagination, drawings, privacy, casts drishti into
[Rahu Mahadasha] [age 5.6 until age 23.6]
RK recounted deep scars due to physical violence and psychological bullying
[Rahu in bhava-2] phonetics passion for foreign speech [2] ambition for privilege via cultural mixing in matters of language, sound-values, history For better or for worse, one of the strongest common images of India transmitted to the outside world remains the charming tonal stereotypes of Kipling's fiction
However, most of Kipling's writing is still in print.
[Collapsing Ketu] kavandha-karaka [headless] chidra-karaka [gaping] vasana-karaka [vacuum] [for Simha indriya-lagna] [no barriers to symbolic transformative imagery] [disregard toward imaginary survival threats] [gently eruptive intuitive hidden knowledge] ... [systematic-profitable Revatī-3] [navamasha Ketu-Kumbha]
OUTCOMES - KETU [Ketu in classroom-8] occupies the emotionally motivated community-linking, gainful, friendly, goal-oriented, socially-networked [11th-from-Chandra] RK's personal life was filled with sustained absences, hidden liaisons Many of RK's friends had eccentric [Ketu], potentially criminalized [6] socially marginalized qualities [6] Yet, these detachments encouraged them to form social clubs and networks of profitable Odd-Fellows [11] RK wrote at home, but otherwise he was absent [Ketu] while socializing with this odd community. |
