A
lifetime cigarette smoker, Jackie Kennedy Onassis
died of lymphoma
in May 1994.
Timing
of death = 19-May-1994
Vimshottari dasha period:
-
Rahu/Chandra
bhukti --
-
Rahu in domain-7 becomes Maraka,
-
Rahu becomes the Super-Maraka by
amplifying Rahu's lord L-2/L-7 Kuja while in occupation of maraka
domain-7
-
Chandra in domain-7 in rashi of L-2/L-7 Kuja =
Maraka
-
Whenever Rahu = yuti Chandra, the combined
effect of both periods is very powerfully amplified and exotic
Gochara graha:
Why would an educated, wealthy woman smoke
cigarettes?
Despite cigarette smoking having gone out of fashion in
elite circles in the early 1970's, Jackie O kept on smoking.
Vishakha nakshatra
in radix lagna produces a strong tendency to put on weight. (cf. Oprah Winfrey, Ammachi.)
Presumably the appetite-suppressing (and
grief-suppressing) benefits of this deadly oral habit were part of her
anti-weight campaign.
Kuja controls what goes in the mouth
Lord of dhana bhava controls the mouth and what goes into
it. The very social and gainful Kuja/Simha/11 is royally fashionable &
competitive & very wealthy indeed!
Kuja both owns and aspects domain-2.
Kuja's goals (gainfulness via marketplace position,
earnings) control the native's decisions regarding what goes in the mouth.
Input which promotes Kuja's agenda is favored (anti-weight
cigarettes) whereas input which curtails Kuja's agenda (unfashionable weight
which reduces the native's attractiveness in the marketplace) is killed or
reduced.
Kuja is a huge wealth-builder but Kuja is also a powerful
maraka.
Depression
Shani in sahaja
bhava = depression caused by unresolved grief & self-damage to
lungs.
The mental process is "stuck" in Shani's
resistance and survival signal to Move On. No permission to process the grief.
This is a recurring pattern since childhood.
The native is usually in denial regarding the underlying
grief. Shani uses Mental Denial as a tool for survival.
Compulsive smoking = dealing with grief by telling the body to
"breath deeply ". But breathing a lung full of cigarette smoke is also
a punishment and form of vitality restraint.
Rahu = super-maraka
Mars is always a killer for
Libra rising charts, because Mars becomes lord of radix death
houses 2 & 7 when Thula rises.
Mars although a major maraka did
not cause physical death during his mahadasha, 1970-1977. Mars/Rahu
obtain an auspicious 5/9 angle in radix and a 1/7 angle in navamsha, therefore
this vimshottari period brings beneficial (non-lethal) results.
Mangala's
maraka powers are perfected finally during Rahu/Chandra bhukti under Rahu,
8/1993-2/1995.
Mangala
occupies his own sign Vrischika with natural maraka Rahu in 7th navamsha, a
death house - but this would have been stimulated in Mangala Mahadasha as
well.
Under Rahu
mahadasha, finally a death harmonic occurs in navamsha: distance from
Ravamsha, the 12th navamsha, to Kujamsha, the 7th navamsha, is the required 8
houses - and angle of death.
Mars is also very
strong in this chart for creating wealth, because Lord of rashi-2 occupies
rashi-11 with strength. Since 2nd lord indicates 2nd husband, she
had an exceptionally wealthy second husband. See the Jyotisha evaluation
of Jackie O's two widowings
for further consideration of the marriage patterns.
Moon
in 7th house:
Moon in yuvati
bhava with
malefics and no assistance from benefics also indicates premature death. The
native died at age 70. (See
the chart of her son JFK
Jr. for a stronger case of this predicament.)
