First and Second Marriage re: Lords of the Nakshatra of Chandra

Vanchana Chora Bheethi Yoga

Gem Recommendation for Brad Pitt

"Super-Bright" Surya L-10 = visibility = celebrity = brilliance in public life (and politics)

L-5 Guru = lord of 6 graha, Vargottamsha Chandra, navamsha lagna, + the karakamsha

Brad Pitt = an American film actor, philanthropist, businessman and father.

According to Wikipedia Pitt's marriage and family history =

• marriage to actress Jennifer Aniston on 29-July-2000

• Separation from Ms. Aniston, Jan-2005

• Union with actress, mother and philanthropist Angelina Jolie, spring 2005

• six children acquired 2005-2008: (3 adopted and 3 biological, at last count)

Prominent Features of the Nativity

Shukra-Makara = lord of 7 and 12 from Vrischika lagna; 6 and 11 from Dhanusha-Chandra.

• Yuti swakshetra Shani in the rashi of a Friend. No incoming Parashari drishti.

• The native has handsome bone structure (Makara) and works collaboratively with women in orderly business environments (3).

• splendid combination for "common sense" -- even within the nativity of an actor!

• Shukra occupies zero degrees of Makara, a notably weak position psycho-socially, despite connotations of excellent bone structure and photogenic appearance.

• Since Shukra rules no auspicious houses, marriage and female partners are problematic - causing loss of identity (12) and overt hostility due to broken promises (6) during periods of Chandra.

• Shukra is not a weak benefic and should not be strengthened by a gemstone.

• Shukra = bhava-3 commerce, mercurial relationships = the male is attracted to businesswomen who have a good solid understanding of media production, financing, licensing, legal environment, and a partner who is a high-ranked commercial agents bringing in more abundance via one's own productive work. In 3, Shukra gives the aesthetic of commercial transactions. Pitt co-owns successful movie production companies with both of his high-cheekbone spouses.

• Shani receives no Parashari drishti but He benefits by proximity to His good friend Shukra, the agent of material wealth and architectural design.

• Shani works hard in the communications industry (3) where He is a structured, lawful planner and organizer of resources and time.

• Shani is not a weak benefic because He does not rule any trinal house As counted from either Vrischika lagna nor from Dhanusha Chandra.

Ketu = Ketu in bhava-2 gives the effect of Guru.

• Ambivalence (Ketu) toward the family history, toward face and eyes, toward speech and song, toward gathered knowledge and banked wealth collections.

Rahu = Rahu in bhava-8 gives the effect of Budha.

• Desire for recognition and entitlements (Rahu) as a holder of mysterious or confidential information; passion for clandestine liaison; craving to be acknowledged as an important figure in times of crisis; a healer and a knower of secrets

Arudha lagna =  Public Impression - Illusion

• Makara = bhava-3 containing the handsome, strong-boned Shukra along with super-magnifier Rahu, the karaka for desire.

• 10th-from-Arudha lagna = fame= Thula, bhava-12 = imagination

• Lord of the bhava-12 of imagination occupies bhava-3 of media

• Pitt is famous for his masculine beauty. Shukra/Makara= a handsome face with well-balanced features, nice complexion and a sharp, elegant bone structure. Equally well-known for his grounded Midwest personality and his professional work ethic Shani/Makara.

• The USA public perceives his Midwestern grounded values and business sense in managing his self-made wealth.

• bhava-3 is also "family expansion"

Karakamsha = social actions

• = bhava-2 = Dhanusha.

• Pitt = best knownfor his speech, his face, his interest in history and languages, his wealth, and his large, diverse family. [kuja + budha + chandra + guru+ ketu]

Navamsha

• Brad Pitt's radix/navamsha display Apowerful L-2+L-5 Brihaspati which dominates his life.(L-2 for family, speech, and accumulated wealth/knowledge; L-5 for theatre, individual genius, and children.)

• Guru is lord of Navamsha in which Guru is also lord of the atmakaraka chandra.

• Guru is also lord of Rahu-Ketuin both radix and navamsha. = eccentricand entitledin his ability to challenge cultural boundaries.

Attitude toward Marriage

• Dhanusha = navamsha lagna = marriage is a religious vow, undertaken largely for the purpose of producing and teaching children. For a male, Dhanau in navamsha lagna = marriage is a vehicle toward fatherhood.

• The native's behavior in marriage = L-2+L-5 Guru/Meena/5. The focus on children and dramatic performance As the content and purpose of marriage = imaginative and abundant. Guru = lord of Chandra, Kuja, Budha, Surya, and Ketu!

• The native will be faithful to the marriage vowuntil an agreement to "return the vow" is achieved.

• L-9 Chandra in navamsha lagna = intensifies the higher religious purpose of marriage. A higher expression of marriage purpose = a variety of priesthood, in which the native feels a powerful emotional mission toward humanistic education, on a global scale.

Pitt = Chandra = 29:28 Dhanusha = Atmakaraka = Uttarashadha Nakshatra , padaa-1

• Lord of Uttarashadha Chandra = Surya

  • Uttarashadha pada-1 sub-lord = Rahu

• Guna = Raja

Aniston = Chandra = 29:47 Vrischika = Jyestha Nakshatra , padaa-4

• Lord of Jyestha Chandra = Budha

  • Jyestha pada-4 sub-lord = Shani

• Guna = Sattva

• (note: despite Chandra's high degree, Surya actually has a higher degree, and Surya becomes Aniston's atmakaraka)

  • Ms. Aniston's Jyestha Moon matches Mr. Pitt's Jyestha radix lagna = lifelong emotional connection.

Jolie = Chandra = 19:35 Meena = RevatiNakshatra , padaa-1

• Lord of Revati Chandra = Budha

  • Revatipada-1 sub-lord = Shukra

• Guna = Sattva

• [Pitt] Male Uttarashadha Nakshatra , padaa-1 + [Aniston] Female Jyestha Nakshatra , padaa-4 = 16 Bindus (the relatively low bindu count = relatively lower compatibility)

• [Pitt] Male Uttarashadha Nakshatra , padaa-1 + [Jolie] Female RevatiNakshatra , padaa-1 = 27 Bindus (The relatively high bindu count = relatively higher compatibility)

First and Second Marriage re: Navamsha

• It is an irony of the nativity that L-7+L-12 Shukra = karaka for marriage-1 in a male nativity = not connected to Guru in either radix or navamsha. Shukra is also lord of yuvati bhava which similarly lacks drishti of Guru. Furthermore Shukra = L-12 from lagna (animosity of the partner) and L-6 from Chandra!

• Thus the first marriage partner, while materially gainful, does not participate in the greater dharma of the native's marriage purpose.

• The second marriageas indicated by bhava-2 contains the great majority of the graha in the nativity, especially Vargottamsha L-9 Chandra, and is controlled by Guru. Karaka for the second wife (male nativity) is the graha most closely associated with Shukra.

• For Pitt, the graha most closely associated with Shukra is Shani.

• Shukra occupies zero degrees of Makara, a notably weak position psycho-socially, despite connotations of excellent bone structure and photogenic appearance. Shani by contrast occupies the absolutely dominant 26th degree of Makara. L-3+L-4 Shani is strong in swakshetra, team-oriented and responsible in communicative style, and the anchor of the home L-4. Of course very pretty too, since Shani is with "architectural bones" Makara-Shukra.

• Shani = L-2+L-3 from Chandra, an angle of emotional bonds with family. It is the second wife who, despite numerous burdens of social responsibility and a considerable personal workload (Shani) is able to undertake the task.

• Shani is not the ideal karaka for a second wife, due to mental health problems (primarily depression) indicated by Shani/3.Look for these problems to grow after Sept 2019, at onset of Pitt's Shani Mahadasha.

lagneshaKuja

• Lagnesha Kuja + Ketu = Vanchana Chora Bheethi Yoga

• children

• theatre

• entertainment

• successful speculation

• genius

• literary creativity

• Overall "purva punya" or reaping credit for charitable actions in past lives

Because swakshetra Guru occupies the enchanted 5th house, and is lord of both Chandra and navamsha, expect Pitt to live, by and large, a charmed life (full of children).

Guru periods are exceptionally expansive, inclusive, family-oriented, productive and auspicious. Guru periods develop the personality and strengthen spiritual awareness throughcharitable actions.

First wife is indicated by:

1. Karaka Shukra = L-7+L-12 Makara Shukra

2. Dara-karaka = L-7+L-12 Makara Shukra

3. L-7 Radix = L-7+L-12 Makara Shukra

4. Graha in bhava-7(if any) = [none]

5. seventh-from-Chandra = L-8+L-11 Dhanau Budha

6. Graha in seventh-from-Chandra (if any) = Rahu/Mithuna

7. L-7 navamsha and occupants of 7th navamsha (if any) = L-8+L-11 Dhanau Budha (no tenant)

Shukra is happy in friend Shani's Makara rashi. The specific variety of "bone-structure" beauty which Shukra obtains in Makara is well in evidence. Shukra grants the native and his Shukra-agents (wives, female employees, artists) an attractive Architecturalappearance. Shukra's disciplined beauty is complimented by a fine work ethic when Shukra is accompanied by friend Shani. The first wife Jennifer Aniston is very pretty with a chiseled, bone-structured look. Her hatha-yoga regime is famous.

• In the husband's bhava-3, Shukra + Shani suggest pragmatic business sense in the arts industry, cooperative and well-structured teamwork, and positive commercial development through good old fashioned planning and sustained hard work. The couple share an aesthetic and materialistic worldview.

• Rahu in 7th-from-Chandraconnotes an inherent instability in the emotional dimension of the marriage partnership. While the practical business skills are strong, the emotional nature of the native is diverse (five graha in Chandra's rashi) and whenever Rahu-Ketu are involved with Chandra, sudden desires may arise which surprise even the native with their intensity.

L-8 Budha, a divorce karaka, occupies bhava-2, a divorce house. Mental instability, caused by a great diversity of intellectual and psycho-emotional interests, creates vulnerability to secret or hidden relationships, and to disruption of the steady accumulation of material assets within a marriage (8).

Divorce in the period of Guru's lord. Guru's period intensely stimulates the psycho-mental memory banks (2) and

1. general Karaka graha with Shukra = L-3+L-4 Makara Shani

2. Amatya-karaka = L-3+L-4 Makara Shani

3. Graha in bhava-2(if any) = Chandra, Budha, Ketu, Kuja, Surya

4. L-2 Radix = L-2+L-5 Meena Guru

5. Lord of second-from-Chandra = L-3+L-4 Makara Shani

6. Graha in second-from-Chandra (if any) = L-3+L-4 Makara Shani + L-7+L-12 Makara Shukra

7. L-2 navamsha and occupants of 2nd navamsha (if any) (however timing of marriages involves the same navamsha lagna for all subsequent marriages) = L-3+L-4 Makara Shani + L-7+L-12 Makara Shukra

Jyotisha timing of marriage, divorce, and early children:

Marriage-1:

• Rahu/Surya/Guruperiod [using 0631 hrs BT]

Surya is not navamsha L-1 nor navamsha L-7, and Surya is not a natural karaka for marriage. Rahu/Surya is an unusual bhukti for marriage.

Surya has the lowest degree of all Pitt's graha in bhava-2 Dhanau. Surya is heavily dominated by:

• Ketu-Rahu

• Chandra

• Budha

• lagnesha Kuja.

Surya could give the results of any of the graha holding superior degrees in Dhanau, including Budha = navamsha L-7/ radix lord of Rahu.

Marriage would seem to be timed via the lord of the sub-sub period (pratyaantaradasha) = Guru

• Guru = L-7 navamsha

Rahu-Ketu

• On the day of the marriage ceremony, gochara Rahu-Ketu pair was transiting at zero degreesof Makara/Karka, a "dead state"

• Rahu-Ketu crossed into Dhanau/Mithuna at about 10pm on the wedding day

• Gochara Ketu made exact contact to natal Shukra and contact within one degree of navamsha Shukra

• indication of detachment, apathy, and disconnection to the beautiful female

• this couple would have been better off to speak their vows on the next day, when Rahu-Ketu had moved securely into Pitt's navamsha lagna and into the very high-traffic Dhanau/Mithuna axis of his radix

• Yet there is no doubt that deep psychic transformations of the self-image, as can only be exposed in the mirror of marriage, would have occurred within a few hours of the marriage ceremony, as gochara Rahu-Ketu moved into contact with his plethora of graha upon the Mithuna-Dhanau axis:

  • radix Ketu-Rahu

  • Atmakaraka Chandra and navamsha Chandra

  • Budha

  • lagnesha Kuja

  • Surya

  • navamsha lagna

  Brad Pitt's sudden divorce and shift into a new companionship that was targeted toward 'growing a family' became a famous public narrative. From a Jyotisha perspective, Pitt's life change is a classic example of radical lifestyle reorientation at the dawn of a new Mahadasha. The first step in his process was Divorce, due to his having married earlier and Guru being L-2.

  ---

  Divorce-1: Guru/Guru period where Guru is divorce-maker L-2. When L-2 is the divorce lord, there is "someone else".

  • L-2-L-5 Guru is a very potent graha in this nativity. Guru is empowered to manifest all of its auspicious karaka meanings, as well as the less auspicious significations of death and divorce.

  Gochara Rahu-Ketu = Mesha/Thula. Gochara Ketu contacts Budha in navamsha. Note above, Budha as L-8 is the source of mental uncertainty and emotional proclivity to risk catastrophic change (due to Budha's relationship to Ketu + Chandra).

  ---

  Union-2

  • Guru/Guruperiod where L-2+L-5 Guru is lord of L-1+ L-6+ L-8+ L-9+ L-10+ L-11 and Ketu.

  • Guru is also lord of navamsha, and lord of Chandra.

  • Guru occupies the "house of family" - bhava-2.

  Children-

  • Guru/Shaniperiod

  Abundance of children in Guru period which would be timed properly w/ the 06:31 Hrs. birth time, which places Dhanau Guru with Surya in saptamsha lagna (above)

  ... and very diverse children too -- given the 6+ house lords who are ruled by Guru!

  • Gochara Rahu-Ketu = Meena/Kanya - contacting radix Guru and navamsha nodes. A very significant transit for starting a family and beginning the children!

  ---

  Prognosis for Guru Mahadasha: excellent personality development, extensive philanthropy, and quite a few children

Reading the marriages via Navamsha Lords

For Pitt, this pair marriage-1 = Guru-Budha.

• In radix, Budha and Guru = 4/10 angle = dignified and traditional public/private roles. The first marriage tends to involve someone from a visually prominent professional position or a high rank (10) and be rather focused on property holdings and cultural roots (4).

• Radix Budha in bhava-2, representing the agency of the first wife, emphasizes the extremely complex and internally contradictory experience of the wife. As evidenced by Budha, Ketu, Chandra, Kuja, and Surya, all in bhava-2, the first wife is a "bundle of contradictions".

• As always, the dilemma of the Mithuna-Dhanus axisis that Budha is neutral toward Guru, but Brihaspati sees Budha as an enemy. In this nativity, Budha = the wife due to Budha's lordship of 7th navamsha and proximity to Chandra; therefore Guru the navamsha lord comes naturally to signify the native.

• Budha is typically a barren graha. In addition, Budha's behavior is complex and indecisivedue to the many voices of bhava-2 and the characteristic dhana bhava concern with acquisition of wealth. Guru is quite set on a path of child-development due to the very strong swakshetra position in putra bhava. Budha continues to admire Budha's lord Guru, but Guru will find Budha's contradictory mentality to be unsustainable.

Second marriage profile = the relationship between the radix graha who is L-2 navamsha Andthe radix graha who is L-8 navamsha

• For Pitt, this pair = Chandra-Shani. In radix, Chandra and Shani = 2/12 angle.This angle is not fortunate.

• Typically the 2/12 angle involves the acquisition and development of holding or reserves which can be stored money, stored knowledge, or other accumulation of valuable materials (2). However there is also typically much distance both physical and emotional caused by physical long-term travel to foreign lands (12) or distancing through retreat into the private imagination, meditation, or other psycho-emotional sanctuary space (12).

• The 2/12 implications are improved due to Shani = swakshetra and Shani = yuti His good friend, the bone-beautiful Shukra. However the 2/12 involves "going behind each other's backs" and other surreptitious behaviors of doing things in response to one's acquisitive or imaginative needs without necessarily keeping one's partner informed.

The second marriage engaging the navamsha Karkata-Makara axis will focus on duty and responsibility(Shani) and sheltering and parenting behaviors(Chandra).

• In Pitt's case, specific locations of Shani and Chandra show that the marriage advances the native's business administrative and commercial interests (Shani-3) and is rather focused on emotional catharsis and acquisition of wealth (2).

• Because the auspicious L-9 Chandra is in a highly complex planetary group that includes such diverse participants as Ketu+ L-1+L-6 Mangala+ L-10 Surya, and L-8+L-11 Budha, it is expected that Chandra's sheltering and parenting behaviors will be expressed in a variety of styles.

• In any case, the second major life union = the native's the most emotionally engaged life partnership due to the remarkable situation of Chandra.

As always, the dilemma of the Karkata-Makara axis = shelter-seeking Chandra is neutral toward structured Shani, yet law-enforcing Shani sees permissive Chandra as an enemy.

• These two graha are 'soft' enemies. Chandra can be assumed to represent the fertile (L-9) second spouse. Shani who is dignified in swakshetra and with great friend Shukra, represents the central role of the male native. Some degree of depression or negative presumptions guiding the daily thought process is indicated by the Shani-3 position in 2nd-from-Chandra.

• The native may feel that his life choices are simply the "result" (2) of her life choices, and Chandra being 12th-from-Shani tends to withdraw into its parenting cocoon.

• Nevertheless the native attains strong emotional stability in this marriage sinceChandra's lord Guru is fertile and very well placed in putra bhava.

  ---

  Relationship to the second wife is intense and exceptionally complex in terms of personality traits and development of those traits within the marriage.

  Not only is bhava-2 populated by the L-1 Kuja+ L-6 Kuja+ L-8 Budha+ L-9 Chandra+ L-10 Surya+ L-11 Budha, and Ketu. Also, Shani as Amatya-karaka and lord of 2nd-from-Chandra provides re-involvement of the hardworking L-3+L-4. The appearance of the second wife is also beautiful, since Shani is such a fine companion graha for Shukra in Makara. However the second wife may appear more pedestrian, perhaps thinner, and less rainbow-pastel (Shukra). But only slightly less, since Shukra-Shani work in tandem as major-minor compliments.

  • The second wife creates a great deal of responsibility for the native. The power of children within the second marriage is evidenced by swakshetra Guru in bhava-5 as lord of the many life-functions which occur in bhava-2. The second marriage is positively life-defining, whereas the first marriage is primarily a successful business arrangement. Perhaps most important is the presence of Chandra in bhava-2, showing the life-defining power of family in the native's mind.

  • End of the second marriage could be timed by onset of Shani Mahadashaat the native's age 55. This possibility exists because Shani is a natural separator and Shani is lord of 2nd-from-Chandra and 2nd navamsha.

  However, the more effective material lord for second divorce is typically the 9th radix lord, in this case Soma. The Moon residing in bhava-2, the nest of the second marriage, suggests that in some sense the 2nd wife is also the 3rd wife - or in more simple terms, that the potential for a third marriage is subsumed by the demands and attractions of the second marriage. It is reasonable to assume that the native will have only two marriages, and that the children produced by the second marriage will keep him so busy and reflect the diversity of his mind so pleasantly, that he will remain committed and fairly content.

Marriage-3

Third marriage profile = the relationship between the radix graha who is L-3 navamsha Andthe radix graha who is L-9 navamsha

• For Pitt, this pair = Surya-Shani.In radix, Surya and Shani occupy a 2/12 angle. The third marriage (if any) tends to involve rigorous duty (Shani) and emphasis on education or transmission of traditional cultural values through the auspice of humanitarian (Surya-Dhanus).

• The third wife (if any) would be represented by radix bhava-9, which is a house of religious and humanitarian educators. The uplifted public could benefit from Pitt's third marriage rather more than Pitt himself would profit from this companion.

• As always, the dilemma of the Simha-Kumbha axis is that Surya and Shani are bitter natural enemies.

• The prognosis for a third marriage could be harmed by the natural animosity of this graha pair, not to mention the inherent difficulties of compromised Shani-Simha in the 3/9 navamsha axis which represents the third marriage.

• "The Lagna is occupied by a malefic with Gulika in a trine

• or Gulika is associated with the lords of Kendras and Thrikonas

• or the Lord of Lagna is combined with Rahu, Saturn or Kethu.

Results:

The native will always entertain feelings of suspicion towards othersaround him. He is afraid of being cheated, swindled and robbed. Here three sets of combinations can apply:

• ascendant must have an evil planet with Gulika disposed in the 5th or 9th.
• Gulika should be associated with the lords of 1, 4, 7, 10, 5 and 9.
• Lord of Lagna should join Rahu or Saturn or Kethu.

In all these cases, the person will not only have fears from cheats, rogues and thievesbut he will also have huge material losses.

Remarks:

The combinations pertaining to this Yoga are found in almost all horoscopes, so that we are all guilty of cheating and being cheated one another in some form or the other.

It is a tragedy of our social life that a merchant minting millions at the cost of the poor is left scot-free while the poor, committing theft in the face of poverty and want, are booked by law.

• Cheatingis practiced in a variety of ways.
• Fertile brains find countless methods to cheat their associates.
• The merchants have various ways of cheating their clients.
• The lawyer is equally successful.
• The medical man commands many ways to defraud his patients.

Gulika is considered the son of Saturn and his position is to be carefully fixed in the Zodiac. The Yoga given above refers to persons who will be thevictims of fraudbut the same combination can also be extended to apply to those who perpetrate the deeds."
