BPL commentary
For Chitra - Tvastri
births of a masculine valence, the condition of kinesthetic, direct, yang-energy, forward-pushing bhratru-karaka
Mangala may considerably affect the outcome.
For those born into the Mangala-ruled paradigm of Visvakarma, brother-figures, warriors, hunters, athletes, dancers, champions,
challengers, inventors, explorers, dis-coverers, engineers, builders, drivers, drillers,
diggers, exploders, aggressors, pursuers, competitions and battles may be especially influential. Guided by instructors from
civilizations of
Spica. Their purpose is architectural engineering
and crafting of beautiful, functional, and artistic alliances, arrangements, and designs.
Designs + Arrangements
Kuja-ruled Chaitra
fellows have a knack for competition. Goal-oriented and kinetic in building, patterning Tvastri, they strive for dominant
power in engineering, artisan mechanics, architecture, and
applied design arts such as skilled handcraft. As authors, Chaitrika often illustrate their works with fine drawings. Tvastri-born have a natural affinity for tools, engines, driving, building.
Kanya pada 1-2 express Kuja's rulership of 3-writing + 8-mystical
transformations, while also displaying the frustrating tension of chatty
Budha versus active Kuja. Literary Budha plays a stronger role for pada
1-2, producing scholars and
writers who argue about architectonics, engineering design,
color values, and mechanics. Pada 1-2 = also skilled in handcraft
and may be professors-cum-tradesmen, fine-arts painters, model-builders,
or practicing musicians.
Tula-Vanika pada 3-4 express Kuja's rulership of 2-collections, assets +
7-contractual equity. Shukra's bargaining behavior
and financial skills play a stronger role for pada 3-4, who enjoy
the mutual attractions of Shukra-Mangala. In music, arts, and
engineering,
they pursue harmonious arrangements. They often
play stringed instruments, and write beautiful songs. Chaitrika pada 3-4 can be found in the design world, in financial negotiations,
and in dynamic meditator roles.
Themes of productive touch including artistic design, musical instruments, mechanical engineering, and crafting of dynamic
arrangements contextualize Vismakarma's terrestrial experience. Incoming drishti from Kuja can mobilize their progressive, pioneering actions. Also applies to Chandra in Chitra-Spica. |

Kipling in the late 1890's
1915, Rudyard Kipling age 50, at the height of his fame
Jungle Book 1865-1936 Empire Rudyard Kipling was enormously feted during his lifetime due to the
extraordinary power of his communicative [uchcha] Rohini-Chandra-1

karakamsha, ++ Rahu-5 drishti into Chandra-1. RK's parents
(Chandra=1) were socialite-artists and RK was very close to them. They
supported his every literary endeavor. |

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! |

- RK's robust language praising king and empire resonated deeply with a people seeking pride
[Surya] in their Commonwealth (11)
Sparkling activates Simha 10th navamsha

RK's Imperialistic [Surya] literature and patriotic songs were wildly popular with Commonwealth and Euro-American readers
during the heyday of the British Empire.

More than simply a literary author and songwriter, RK was a highly
symbolic male personality.
- Admirers declared him to embody the genius [Surya] of a humanistic vision of
global civilization [Guru]
Surya-yuti-Shukra
+ Surya-yuti-Guru
- A small group of well-connected men decide who receives Nobel
Prizes. These men included supporters of Empire and of Kipling.
- The prize was established in 1895 by Alfred Nobel , who made a
fortune in military explosives.
- During Guru-Shukra bhukti, RK was the first English-language author to receive the
Nobel Prize in Literature
- RK remains the youngest
writer ever to receive that prize
[Mūla] Surya + [Mūla] Mangala + [Mūla] Shukra
However, after the colonialist viewpoint had
dissipated with the collapse of Empire following WW-2, RK's
formerly praised-to-the-stars genius was questioned. Eventually, literary critics
deprecated
RK's work as a romanticized
artifact of Imperial culture.
- After WW-2, RK's award of 1907 Nobel Prize in Literature
began to be cited as a cautionary example of misguided enthusiasm among
the tiny Euro-elite of prize-givers
- and a call to be more alert to the
political impact of Nobel Prizes.

RK was both deeply attached and deeply conflict toward his wife's
family, who controlled his career.
- One of Carrie Kipling's brothers, the author-publisher Wolcott Balestier, is said to have been Kipling's romantic lover
Wolcott's suicide was a cause of RK's severe nervous breakdown in
young adulthood.
- Another of her brothers Beatty Balestier (Ballister) was their landlord in Vermont, USA
- he was also Kipling's marketing, distribution, and publishing agent upon whose good will Kipling's career much depended.
- Recently uncovered Literary correspondence, hidden since the 1880's,
suggests that RK had passionate involvement with both of his wife's
brothers.
- Despite having been very productive in New England living near
his wife's family, after a violent disagreement with his
brother-in-law, RK suddenly relocated his young family back to
southern England.

[Rohini] in virtually all of his life experiences
- His body and its behaviors (1) would have been

- Nevertheless, Shani-1 in 6th-from-Chandra grants endurance
- Shani applies the correction of extreme discipline.
- RK's sexual tastes Surya+Shukra+Kuja in [Mūla] 3 created undisclosed
relationships which were punitively incompatible with cultural conventions,
potentially causing self-contempt and danger of criminal conviction

Icon of British Paternalism - Guru-yuti-Surya
In his day, Kipling was an enormously feted writer and
celebrated public
figure.
RK appeared to many of his Edwardian generation to have
epitomized [Surya] the experience of a
colonial ruling patriarchy, who were portrayed as kindly wise overlords
[Guru] providing principled understanding [Guru] to the
childlike, underdeveloped populations of their colonies.
Guru rogesha = conflict (6) from writing (3)
- Sadly, RK's literary reputation has not withstood the test of time.
Guru rules Meena-6-karakamsha
- Modern
literary critics tend to disparage his characterizations as condescending
(Guru-Surya self-righteousness) rather than intriguing.

Astounding concentration of graha in 3 includes the combined
rulers of 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 11 + 12 = Mangala + Shukra + Budha
[all three at 2-deg Mula] + Surya + Guru [in Apah] Shukra-3
occupies the trauma-inducing, discovering, revealing, danger-seeking
8th-from-Chandra ++ Bhrigu's
affiliation with so many other graha could be expected to create a
variety of additional relationships. Shukra-Mula occupies 6/8 from
Chandra ++ Shukra activates Tula-indriya-lagna = the emotionally conflicted

ready-for-publication creative literature on a
regular pace [Shani] throughout his lifetime.
RK's parents and his intimate, nourishing, comfort-zone [Chandra]
lifestyle were at permanent loggerheads
with Carrie. Yet Carrie very successfully
managed (3) the entire commercial
mechanism of getting his work marketed, produced, and sold (3
sales)
- Intense marital conflict ensued after Kipling's literary reputation had
been established.
- RK wanted more lifestyle freedom - particularly, to keep
the company of the men he preferred
- However, Carrie had
so much business clout that he suffered her restrictions in order to
maintain his success

Rudyard could continue to write at home without unwanted interruption.
Shani-1 drishti into Kuja-3 = suppressed quarreling
Carrie was said to have been bitter
[Shani occupies
6th-from-Chandra] about his regular, long sojourns from their home when
RK either
stayed with his indulgent parents [Chandra] or commingled with other gentlemen of similar
tastes
([Mūla] Kuja).
- Friends honored Carrie Kipling for maintaining a household schedule
[Shani] that

shifted between Anglosphere settlements in India his birth-land, England, New England (USA) and South Africa.
Budha-[Mūla] 3 phonetics rules Rahu-12
fascinating foreignness
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
- A century later, the patronizing colonial philosophy is decidedly out of date. However, most of Kipling's writing is still in print.
- Due mainly to the charm of his phonetic renderings, English-speaking children worldwide are
still being read Rikki-Tikki-Tavi by their loving parents.
