this nativity subject to re-analysis

Britney Spears shadbala

Distinctive features of the Nativity:

Karakamsha = radix-3

= media publications = video, audio recordings, magazine fashion photography , internet , advertising

divorces, child custody battles, mental health episodes, and lifestyle habits became daily feedings for the tabloid press.

While a teenage dance and song performer, Ms. Spears performances were successfully media-packaged (3) and so vigorously marketed (3) that became an international communications media phenomenon starting with Rahu-Rahu swabhukti her age 9.

Guru mahadasha beginning her age 27 has kept her in the spotlight, although due to Guru's disabilities the publicity has not always been favorable.

L-3 + L-6 Guru in Thula lagna

  • is highly problematic

  • Das says "externally, your physical appearance is healthy; you are affluent and secure; but your personal and social life is full of tangled knots. Litigation, enmity, and wasted money are some of the hallmarks of this placement"

  • train-wreck early marriage with children.

Vargottamsha Shukra + Ketu

  • "Bas Couture" fashion

Mangala L-2+ L-7 --- in parivartamsha with L-11 Surya

  • Mangala at 29 Simha (Uttaraphalguni, ruled by Surya) = brilliant, athletic performance

  • magnificent musculature and physique; teen sexuality, athletic physical fitness

  • Athletic competition , in the rashi of fashion, celebrity and regal superiority. Cf. Michael Jackson the internationally renowned entertainer/dancer/choreographer

  • the parivartamsha L-2 + L-11 promises spectacular wealth; however Guru in Thula lagna suggests abundant sources of mismanagement, and losses via quarreling.

Chandra

  • L-10 Chandra- Shravana in bhava-4 + Shukra + Ketu = self-indulgence (Shukra + Chandra) and apathetic confusion (Ketu) in parenting, child-raising, home life

  • Valerie Roebuck says in Circle of Stars, p. 100:

    • "22-Sravana and 23-Sravistha (Dhanishta) are a pair, even though they are not called purva-uttara like the other Nakshatra pairs. "

    • Shravana = Sravistha (Dhanishtha) = dancing rhythm.

      • Shravana has the famous quality of extreme alertness of "hearing" which is typically cast as an emotionally fixated listening to what others are saying about oneself.

      • Shravishta natives are known for sustained attention to their public reputation. Ketu and Shukra would however cause that reputation to be characterized by scattered attention (Ketu) + luxurious indulgence (Shukra).

      • The good hearing "Shra" would necessarily benefit dance and musical performance. Shukra's proximity is for dance purposes a huge benefit.

    Chandra + Shukra-Makara

    • Chandra + Lord of 10th-from-Chandra = Shukra = popular musical-fashion career

    • Shravana Chandra + Shukra = "spoiled"

    • addictions-karaka L-8 Shukra + Chandra + Ketu = no limits on sweets-drugs-alcohol during times of stress

    • Ms. Spears became remarkably famous, or rather infamous, in the international celebrity-watch media in 2008 = Rahu+Chandra period. Rahu in 10; Chandra = L-10 = high public visibility.

      • The cause célèbre was not unfortunately her disciplined and detailed artistic performance, but rather a media-amplified display of drug abuse (Chandra + Shukra + Ketu), mental illness (Chandra + Ketu ), and difficulties regarding her sustained, high-profile divorce (Ketu) and its child-custody (Chandra) battle.

      Ketu

      • Ketu + L-1 lagnesha + L-8 transformation Shukra = Ambivalence toward the personal identity, but Shukra is strong in makara-kendra-4 and the physical appearance is well-structured (Makara) and aesthetically balanced.

        • Rahu-Ketu in the public-private axis 4-10

        • Wild applause and breathtaking sales of her products coupled with stern disapproval and boycotting of her products have marked Ms. Spears' career since her pre-teen performance days. She has been "banned" in government middle schools for deliering a sexed-up inappropriate role model encouraging young girls to wear provocative clothing (Ketu + Shukra), but also praised and honored in the music industry for dedication to craft, creative intelligence and well-choreographed, vigorous dance-athletic movement (Kuja atmakaraka in navamsha lagna, also Kuja parivartamsha Surya in Simha)

      • Ketu + lagnesha Shukra = aura which is available to receive large-scale projections of the collective unconscious (cf. Jacquie Kennedy or Mother Teresa)

      • Ketu + Chandra reveals a deep personal ambivalence in her relationship with her mother.

      • Chandra is also lord of Rahu .

      Shukra in Makara = superior career in beauty and fashion

      • Chandra + Shukra in any rashi is a classic indicator that that native is "spoiled" by material indulgence of the parents esp the mother. Often the parents are distracted by their own material business dealings, and plying the child with sweets or trinkets is easier than attending to the child's presenting emotional needs. The child learns to substitute sense pleasures (usually food or drink = Shukra) for the deeper satisfactions of emotional engagement with a nurturer. The resulting adult shows exaggerated entitlement to immediate sense-pleasure gratification whenever the native is "stressed out" (Chandra + Shukra) and eventually (presuming the adult stress factors persist) some type of addictive pattern will emerge.

      • Shukra is highly auspicious in Makara rashi, where the daityaguru brings excellent bone structure, legs, teeth-jaw and a pleasing bodily architecture that is generally perceived as both strong and beautiful.

      • Other Shukra-Makara include Oprah Winfrey (whose early career involved winning beauty contests), the fashion model Cindy Crawford, dramatist Brad Pitt, model and home-decorating magnate Ivana Trump, and gospel singer Aretha Franklin.

      • Shukra = lord of 10th from Chandra = fashionable, popular, romantic-sexual appeal yields a financially successful, professional expression.

      The mother is a highly influential but deeply volatile and problematic figure as well, undoubtedly a strong force in the native's career management but also perhaps "emotionally unavailable" at the deeper levels of maternal nurturing.

      Marriages

      Husband-1 = Guru

      • no tenants in Guru's houses = no major karmas activated by Husband-1

      • Guru is weak and problematic in thula lagna

      • L-3+L-6 Guru -- L-12 + L-3 from Makara Chandra "double L-3" good for media-messaging productions but L-6 + L-12 is bad for marriage = this marriage was annulled

      • Guru casts no drishti upon any graha in radix and receives no drishti from any graha in radix.

      Husband-2 = yogakaraka Shani in 12 = a powerful influence in the native's life

      • three tenants in Shani's rashi = L-1 + L-8 Shukra; + L-10 Chandra + Ketu = self, destruction of identity and rebirth of new self, parenting, wealth, art, music, dance = activated by Husband-2, an artistic dancer

      • Lord of Shani = combust Budha in 2 + the super-strong parivartamsha Surya = strong personal identification with the masculine, responsible character of husband-2

      • Shani casts drishti upon L-11 Surya [ professional identity ], and upon L-9+L-12 Budha [global travel]

      • Shani = L-1+L-2 from Chandra = fertility, creation of own family

      • Shani in bhava-12 = pragmatic, argumentative, wealthy, arrogant, materialistic

        lord Budha receives drishti of Shani

        husband-2 = of a lower rank than the native

        in fact the husband was a service employee of the native, a "backup dancer" = Shani in 12, things in the background of the identity, past lives and fantasies

        • Das says "You run the risk of becoming arrogant, ruthless, and despotic. Watch out for the tendency to reject all your morality when tempted."

      • Shani = yogakaraka L-4+L-5 from radix lagna = home (4) and children (5)

        • The second husband, represented by Shani as lord of Chandra, knows the native's character and motivations quite intimately. He is a powerful force of both positive and negative effect.

      Rahu Mahadasha= age 9-until-27

      • Rahu in bhava-10

      • Rahu drishti to: Surya + Budha + Chandra + Shukra + Ketu

      • Rahu drishti to Mangala via the parivartamsha with Surya

      • Rahu gives dominant effect of Chandra-Ketu + Shukra,

      Shukra = L-1 body appearance = high-visibility professional entertainment Career begins age 9
