Chitra
lagna, for females from Shil-Ponde. (1939).
Hindu
Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 96:
|
"An expensive and luxurious person.
-
One who is fond of clothes and
beautiful surroundings and revels in them.
-
She spends much money on jewels, perfumes, cosmetics and her taste in these
matters is expensive.
-
She likes to change costumes several times a day and
always look like an animated fashion plate.
-
Variety is the spice of life to this
woman and she will be inconstant and fickle in love affairs,
-
having many
during her life and marrying often.
-
Many actresses, musicians, artists
and
opera singers have Chitra rising.
-
If she is born on the day before the New
Moon, with this asterism rising,
-
If she is born with Chitra on the Rising
Point on the day before the Full Moon,
-
she will be immoral and promiscuous
in her love affairs
-
and will support some of her lovers or spend money on
them
-
and she will die in poverty."

Distinctive Features of the
Nativity:
 |
Public Aura
-
Arudha
lagna = Vrishabha = bhava-9
-
Aniston's image in the public imagination
(arudha lagna) seems to be as a person blessed in every way, whose beauty is
enhanced through virtuous conduct and hatha- yoga
-
10th-from-Arudha lagna = public
imagination regarding special notoriety or reputation =
Kumbha, bhava-6 = divorce
-
One of the unusual features of Aniston's
public profile is that she is very famous for her marital difficulties and
divorce (note Shani/Rahu and karako bhavo nashto
= uchchamasha
Meena-Shukra in
bhava-7)
-
Chandra
in bhava-3
|
|
Physical appearance |
Guru-Kanya + Ketu in lagna L-5 Shani + L-9 uchchamsha Shukra + Rahu = yuvati bhava ; this
trio casts drishti upon
karakamsha Tanu bhava = physical body appearance |
|
Karakamsha |
-
= bhava-1, Kanya
-
Karakamsha = that for which one is best
known = bhava-1 = A
nna-maya-kosha
-
Ms. Aniston is certainly best known for her
exemplary physical body appearance
=
Kanya-karaka health science (hatha yoga and "healthy lifestyle"
argumentation)
-
The typical Kanya complexion is
Budha-dominated, tending toward a neutral/pale coloration within the
native's own gene-pool.
|
|
~~ BPHS Chapter
12, shloka 4 |
"A benefic in Lagna will give a
pleasing appearance, while a malefic will make one bereft of good appearance.
|
|
Remarkably strong and athletic L-3 + L-8
Mangala
Raja Yoga
|
 |
|
Kuja =
Darakaraka = significator of spouse and of
the social relationship of marriage
|
The
Dara-karaka
= the graha which holds the
7th-from-the-highest degree within the radix. Kuja is always a trouble-maker
for Kanya lagna. Aniston's
darakaraka is her unfortunate L-3+L-8 Kuja.
-
Note Kuja's strength in Shad-bala (quite
high).
-
Swakshetra Kuja + L-11 Chandra will bring
her extraordinary wealth in the
Chandra-Mangala Yoga. However, as the dara-karaka, malefic Kuja is
inauspicious.
-
Prominent spousal behaviors include
excess
mentalism and focus on self-made wealth (L-3) along with secret
affairs leading to divorce (L-8). The L-8 is a divorce karaka for
certain when Kuja is an empowered malefic house lord, as Mangala always is for
Kanya lagna.
-
Das/Behari says of Kuja/Vrischika/3:
"You may be engaged in many secret activities. You will be bold, courageous, and able to achieve your objectives, however difficult they may be. You will be a trouble-shooter; in fact, your true mettle emerges only through opposition and difficulties"
-
Kuja is neechcha in navamsha,
another indicator of emotional difficulties in the spousal characteristics.
|
|
Kuja
|
For Kanya lagna, Kuja = the notoriously
self-destructive L-3 + L-8
Kuja's drishti to bhava-6 is good for
overcoming enemies, and Kuja's drishti to bhava-10 is excellent for work
energy and getting ahead in career. The native will have a very powerful and
wealth-generating career. However the auspice for emotional contentedness in
marriage is harmed.
Damage to lungs through grief, often an
underbelly of emotionally self-destructive action focused in
lungs/shoulder/arms/hands when Kuja is associated with bhava-3 and neechcha
Chandra.
-
E.g., cigarette smoking despite all the healthy-lifestyle
implications of Guru/Kanya/1.
-
Kuja + Chandra in 3 or 9 can also manifest as
arm-cutting in youth (see Angelina
Jolie).
|
|
Kuja
dosha upon 7th-from- Chandra |
Kuja rules neechchamsha
Vrischika Chandra Seventh from Chandra = Vrishabha 7th-from-Chandra receives Kuja
Drishti resulting in a Kuja Dosha of
some magnitude. |
|
Rahu in
bhava-7 = |
Passion to be recognized as an equal
in bargains or contracts with those of higher status,
although one has not
yet earned the right to genuine equality.
-
Desires to "marry up". In a
spiritualized nativity, particularly fierce placements of Rahu-7 may
elevate the partnership ambitions so high that one seeks
union with divine entities.
-
Engages in
exotic or taboo-breaking counseling-advising relationships. May be a wheeler-dealer, negotiator, contract-maker, facilitator,
middle-man, or broker. Special propensity to enter into promises with
privileged foreigners. Via deal-making instincts,
ambitious promises, and veiled concessions made during the bargain, one
may become involved in unsustainable alliances that are "over one's
head".
-
Desires to "marry up" but due to these
pressures, unstable and ambitious Rahu in 7 generally indicates several
marriages or multiple attempts to re-engage in a definitive contractual
trust.
|
|
Ketu in bhava-1 =
Rahu in
bhava-7 |
-
Ambivalence (Ketu) toward one's
personal appearance and individual identity
- Desire (Rahu) to be recognized as a
partner of
powerful persons or corporations
|
|
Ketu + Guru |
This combination can go in the tamasic direction or the sattvic
direction. Ms. Aniston's well known practice of hatha yoga may
eventually stabilize the mind enough to ground a meditation
practice. |
|
ARUDHA LAGNA Bhava-9 Vrishabha |
= lord uchchamsha Shukra + Rahu =
public perception, the native is considered to be distinctively attractive
(Shukra) materially yet her celebrity reputation involves a pathetic
twist of being "too sweet" to
enjoy a pragmatic human marriage with children. Bhava-9
divine models =
6/8 angle
from bhava-4 = roots, home and family |
|
Atmakaraka
= Surya
|
-
Radix Surya in
5 shows the soul's orientation to a path of realization via theatre
and performance art.
-
Surya in the
navamsha lagna shows physical body destiny, including fashion modeling
of Kanya (unmarried) quality. The native has a pleasantly girlish
look.
|
|
Attitude toward Marriage
Profile for husband(s)
|
First
husband is indicated by:
-
general
Karaka
Guru -
-
Dara-karaka
-
L-7 Radix
-
Graha in bhava-7 (if any)
-
seventh-from-Chandra
-
Graha in seventh-from-Chandra (if
any)
-
L-7
navamsha
and occupants of 7th navamsha (if any)
Kanya = navamsha lagna = marriage is
an
argument, a broken contract, and a service relationship.
-
With Surya and Rahu in lagna, the
marriage behaviors include extreme detail orientation and a tendency
toward neurotic, subconsciously driven
perfectionism.
-
Marriage behaviors may include mental
agitation or volatile argumentative
complaining
About imperfections (Rahu/Kanya). - The native's behavior in marriage =
L-1+L-10
Budha/Makara/5. Budha
= the difficult but gainful L-8+L-11 from neechchamsha Chandra.
|
|
Budha |
Budha = lord of both navamsha lagna and
navamsha 10th bhava. The native understands marriage as a support for
dramatic performance (5) and career recognition (Surya in navamsha
lagna).
-
There may be much stress related to maintaining
a rationalized "perfect" and youthful
appearance as a perceived requirement for celebrity recognition or
dramatic performance opportunities.
-
The navamsha distribution of graha
is overall very intense and
concentrated; a closer examination of the six graha on navamsha lagna axis
would reveal more of the complexity of the native's marriage behaviors.
|
|
Rahu in
bhava-7 re: marriage |
= unusual, exotic, extravagant, risk-taking spouse.
Partner = poseur. Generally, two+ marriages.
Exaggerated needs or expectations of the spouse.
Unwilling partner may drive the native to other mates. However, good results
possible n in
Kumbha or Vrishabha leading to religious celibacy or union with divine entities. |
|
~~ Bhrigu Sutram Ch. 24 Shloka
9 |
"The woman will quit her husband and marry another:
if the
7th house from the Ascendant or the Moon-occupied signs be found with malefics as well as benefics."
|
|
~~ Bhrigu Sutram Ch.
2
4 Shloka 12 |
"If Sagittarius or Pisces or Jupiter's Navamsha be descending,
the husband will be brave, have
control over his passions and desires and will possess other
virtues."
|
|
~~ BPHS Ch. 80, shloka 22-25 |
If at woman's birth, the 7th bhava or the setting Navamsha be that of
of Jupiter,
the husband of the woman concerned will be of great merit and will have
passions under his control.
|
|
Reading
the marriages via Navamsha Lords
|
Marriage-1
-
For Aniston, this pair =
Budha-Guru.
In radix, Budha and Guru = 5/9 angle. The first marriage tends to involve a
generous fatherlike or priestly figure (9) and be rather focused on children
and dramatic creativity (5). The angle is exceptionally auspicious. However
Guru + Ketu and Budha = moudhya with drishti of Rahu suggests perpetual
ambivalence and mental discontent, resulting in an early and childless
withdrawal from the union.
Marriage-2
-
Second marriage profile = the relationship between the
radix
graha who is L-2 navamsha and the
radix
graha who is L-8 navamsha
-
For Aniston, this pair = Shukra-Mangala. In radix,
Shukra and Mangala = 5/9 angle. The second marriage tends to involve intensive
sexuality (Kuja) a fatherlike or priestly figure (9) and be rather focused on
children and dramatic creativity (5).
-
The angle is exceptionally
auspicious, and the graha are attracted to each other.
-
Shukra = uchcha;
Kuja = swakshetra and Chandra-Mangala (wealth) yoga. Prognosis for the second
marriage is very favorable, despite some threat of emotional volatility from
Chandra-Mangala.
Marriage-3
-
Third marriage profile = the relationship between the
radix
graha who is L-3 navamsha and the
radix
graha who is L-9 navamsha
-
Third marriage if any would = Shukra-Mangala and thus
bear
strong similarity to the second marriage, with excellent auspice. The native
is able to achieve a great deal in life through her marriages.
|
|
Guru |
-
The all-good Brihaspati is normally a
beneficial influence on all aspects of life, including marriage (see Bhrigu Sutram
And
BPHS Above.)
-
However, Guru's auspice regarding marriage
is much reduced in Aniston's charts. (Brihaspati remains beneficial for many
other lifestyle qualities including bodily appearance, wealth through
speculative investment, and wisdom.)
-
Guru
has two enemies: Budha and Shukra. Kanya owned by Guru's enemy
Budha, is not such a comfortable rashi for Guru.
-
Das/Behari says of Guru/Kanya: 'Choosy about friends, analytical mind, observant, promising, much traveling. Unorthodox about marriage partner. Gain through literary pursuits, speculation commercial investments. Ailments of bowels and lack of concentration."
-
Brihaspati also receives drishti of His enemy
uchchamsha
Shukra. Shukra's
drishti upon lagna = amplified by Rahu = exceptionally
attractive.
However in the matter of husband's
disposition, this situation for Guru is not ideal. The husband is analytical
and picky when he should be generous and wise (Guru in Budha's rashi) and the
husband is ambivalent and withdrawn (Guru + Ketu) when wisdom and support
would be needed in the marriage.
|
|
Transits |
Marriage is vulnerable to
catastrophic upheaval due to impact of
transits
of Rahu or transits
of Shani through bhava-1 or through a house from which these two malefics
may cast drishti upon husband-karaka-and-L-7 Guru.
-
Aniston's first divorce from dramatist
Brad Pitt
occurred during
Shani's transit
through Karkata rashi (gochara Shani entered Karkata in Jan-2005).
Shani's harshest 3rd drishti to Kanya.
-
Gochara
Rahu-Ketu entered Meena-Kanya in March-2005, as this celebrity
divorce and scandal became front-page news worldwide.
-
Rahu-Ketu transit
to the 1-7 axis in radix and navamsha, triggering the highly complex and
contradictory elements in Knya-Meena in both charts.
|
|
L-7 Radix, Lord of the
seventh bhava = Guru
|
-
L-7 Radix tells more about the material
behaviors of the spouse, social rank and position, external characteristics.
(L-7 from Chandra is more of an emotional diagnostic.)
-
For Aniston+ L-7 radix = Guru. See
evaluation of Guru, above. The husband is a strategic thinker and a
planner-doer but probably not a deep romantic. Marriage for the spouse is all
about planning out the details (Kanya) and receiving social
validation for
physical appearances (Guru/bhava-1).
|
|
Graha in occupation of
bhava-7 = Shani, Shukra, and
Rahu.
|
Shani
+ Rahu in yuvati bhava = betrayal
in marriage
Rahu
in yuvati bhava indicates a spouse from a different material
culture. The marriage is based on passionate desires for sensual pleasure,
material acquisitions, and a general urge toward adventurous taboo-breaking
explorations.
|
|
Das/Behari says of Rahu/Meena/7: |
"Rahu will produce a disenchantment which averts you from anything sorrowful, unethical, or out of harmony with the
true self. An unusual approach to life will be developed." |
|
Shani
in bhava-7 |
adds a dose of duty, sobriety, longevity, and austerity
to the union. However when the naturally malefic Shani, functioning in Kanya
lagna nativities as the L-6 for chronic animosity, inhabits the marriage
house, there are negative consequences embedded in the karmic script. |
|
Das/Behari says of Shani/Meena/7:
|
"Saturn
... will bring marriage to an early end. You will marry several times, but each time there will be a setback. You will face several litigations, your family will disintegrate, and you will experience sorrow on account of children. You may die alone, abandoned by spouse, children, and relatives." |
|
Uchchamsha L-2 +
L-9
Meena-Shukra
in bhava-7
|
=
karako
bhavo nashto in the strongest dose. The first marriage partner is
charismatically magnetically (Rahu) attractive (Shukra) not only
to the native but also to others. Marriage contract may be an
expediently self-promoting or strategically instrumental (Rahu)
arrangement. |
|
Das/Behari says of Shukra/Meena:
|
"Charitable, large-hearted, popular, wealthy, learned, devoted to saints; love for art, music and drama; fickle in love affairs, accepts a low-bred spouse; trouble and difficulty through your own miscalculations." |
|
Shukra + Shani |
A very attractive spouse, gifted in arts.
Shukra + Shani deepens the artistic capabilities and potential for success in
the arts, because Shani contributes work ethic and self-control to Shukra's
natural artistic talents and god-given beauty.
-
Shani + Shukra is highly
auspicious for success in arts industry (such as films, fashion modeling, any
art, design or music business). Shukra + Rahu is problematic for intense
passionate taboo-breaking desires.
The spouse's love nature - indicated
by Shukra's condition- is on the one hand tightly controlled by work ethic and
a sense of social dignity from Shani, and on the other hand that love nature
is wildly amplified by uncontrollable desires for beauty, other-worldly or
dream-like environments, and children.
|
|
The total result for
publicly
visible spousal behavior (7) is highly contradictory, containing: |
-
some real and sincere mutual love
and admiration (uchcha Shukra)
-
Along with fearful resistance to
intimacy (Shani)
-
And the need for intense challenge and
taboo-breaking partnerships (Rahu).
As always, the spouse's material behavior
is strictly a *mirror* of the native's own closely-held beliefs, expectations,
fears, and karmic luggage. The spouse is literally "acting out" the
material beliefs of the native.
|
|
L-7 from
Chandra = Shukra |
L-7 from Chandra reveals the emotional
qualities of one's interaction with the spouse. Shukra rules seventh from
Moon. See above for evaluation of the highly complex and contradictory
situation of Lord of 7th-from-Chandra, the uchcha Shukra. |
|
L-7
navamsha
and occupants of 7th navamsha |
|
|
Importance of Marriage for the Self-definition |
Clearly the native's marriage relationships
are self-defining in every department of life.
-
The
spousal character is indicated more often by the lord and graha in 7th
navamsha, while the native's own behavior in relationships is typically
defined by the graha and lord of the navamsha's first house.
-
7th
Navamsha contains Ketu, the radix L-5+L-6 Shani, the radix L-10+L-1 Budha, and
the radix L-11 Chandra.
-
The first spouse (and at a subtle level the pattern
for all spousal relationships) will have the qualities of detachment (Ketu),
work ethic and delay of children (Shani), talkative, verbally oriented career
and youthful physical appearance (Budha),
-
expansive social network of
women and emotionally sensitive men (Chandra).
-
The
native's own behavior in relationships is typified by ethical awareness and
self-importance (Surya) with emphasis on exotic bodily appearance and
self-promotion via
risk-taking toward realization of personal ambition (Rahu).
|
|
Rahu-Ketu - overpowering
extent of nodal influence
|
-
When
Rahu-Ketu control both radix and navamsha charts, the spousal partners may
each support each other instrumentally,
but there may be no point of genuine spiritual or emotional contact.
-
The
marriage is not necessarily deprived of affection, nor ruthlessly expedient,
but rather the exigencies of life for the two partners will tend to keep them
"seeing" each other at a distance whilst feeling rather permanently
like two poles of an earth magnet.
-
Rahu-Ketu
effects are due to underlying reality of
Rahu-Ketu
who can see each other and are defined by each other, but who, as a historic
consequence of Rahu's taboo-breaking desires, can have no genuine contact.
|
|
Second husband is indicated by: |
Karaka Shani and graha that are
co-tenants with Shani - Shani,
Shukra, Rahu
-
Amatya-karaka
-- neechcha L-11 Chandra
-
L-2 Radix and Graha in bhava-2
(if any) -- Shukra
-
Lord of second-from-Chandra and
Graha in second-from-Chandra (if any) -
Guru
-
L-2
navamsha
and occupants of 2nd navamsha (if any) (however timing of marriages
involves the same navamsha lagna for all subsequent marriages) --
Shukra
-
Second spouse will be magnetically
attractive but nevertheless unusual or exotic (Rahu) and perhaps a bit rugged
(Shani) in appearance. Rahu and Shani contribute a dark coloration to Shukra's
fair tones.
-
The second husband is a hard worker who carries a social identity
in arts, design, and music.
-
Career of second spouse = 10th-from-2nd =
bhava-11, for Aniston this is Karkata rules by the wealth-generating neechcha
Chandra-Mangala yoga.
-
Second husband
career in marine industry, deep-sea mining, or secret/tantric operations such
as surgeries esp. upon sexual body components, hormonal manipulations, may be
a cosmetic or sexual/hormonal transformative surgeon.
-
High
earner, very profitable, with productive energies tightly focused on
marketplace income perhaps to the detriment of emotional amiability (neechcha
Chandra with Kuja).
|
|
Likelihood of
substance addictions |
rooted in troubles with
the mother, always accompanies the traumatized neechcha Chandra.
The
emotional relationship with the second husband is highly mentalized.
-
Characterized by detailed business development and visionary planning
(Guru/Kanya) with less energy invested in interpersonal emotional
validationand more dependence on public measures of achievement.
-
Guru is the L-1
navamsha which suggests that emotionally, the native feels a need to develop
herself, as a business project, perhaps at the expense of the partnership.
|
Jyotisha
timing of marriage and divorce:
 |
Marriage-1:
Gochara Rahu-Ketu
-
On the day of the marriage ceremony,
gochara
Rahu-Ketu pair was transiting at zero degrees of Makara/Karkata,
a "dead state"
-
Rahu-Ketu crossed into Dhanushya/Mithuna at about 10pm
on the wedding day
-
Although Gochara Ketu made no contact to
the expected marriage points in radix nor navamsha, it is very interesting
to note that contact was made to the nodal axis of
Dashamsha
-- the varga for career
-
Marriage appears to have been a
more
significant career desire (Rahu) than personal desire (Rahu)
|
|
Divorce-1:
|
-
Rahu gives sudden desire-driven
changes.
-
Chandra/Rahu period where Rahu
amplifies the results of both L-2 Shukra for the second spouse, and L-6
Shani, the agent of loss of agreement in marriage.
-
When L-6 is the divorce lord, there may
significant animosity and often jealousy involved in the dissolution of
marriage. Legal concerns drive the decision.
-
When L-2 is the divorce lord, there is
often "someone else" in the picture.
-
L-6 in bhava-7 is highly inauspicious,
because it bring animosity (often in the form of jealousy) into the
marriage.
-
Combined with
karako
bhavo nashto producer uchchamsha kendra-7 Shukra, the forecast for a
handsome, hard-working and wealthy first spouse to make a sudden (Rahu) change of partner is
well defined.
-
gochara
Rahu-Ketu = Mesha/Thula. Again the major desire-driven
transformative change given by the Nodes only impacts the Dashamsha, or
the public reputation/career.
Gochara
Rahu-Ketu = Mesha/Thula.
