Om Graam Greem Graum Sah Gurve Namah

Guru

in Tanu Bhava 1

*dik-bala *

Ju-piter in the first house

• wikipedia: Brihaspati

Lovely person with a gentle humor and soft, generous body. A female may almost certainly have children whom she greatly loves and richly supports (barring drishti or Surya/5).

Guru gives expansion and generally the physical body expands considerably when Guru is in lagna. Associated with diseases of water retention, overtaxing the digestive system, and lack of muscular movement.

Expansive fleshly tendencies will be adjusted if other graha occupy the lagna. See Barak Obama = a tall, lanky, basketball-shooting physique caused by swakshetra lagnesha Shani (skeleton, bones) in lagna along with expansive dik-bala Guru.

This native naturally prefers the easy way of doing things. Native must be proactive and pursue movement even when they naturally want to relax. Good medicine, often blessed with skilled physicians in homeopathic or Ayurvedic traditions.

Generally maintains positive expectations of life, and does well through developing good intentions and good cheer. Exceptionally generous. (Constrained in a rashi of Shani.) Appreciated by others, including the gods. Happy, jovial, attractive, affluent. Without other work-ethic drishti, may become a Couch Potato.

In 11th-from-3rd, Guru indicates gain from siblings, from communications, from expansive and inclusive mentality. (The physical body is the result of mental processes on the causal plane.)

"A benefic in Lagna will give a pleasing appearance,

while a malefic will make one bereft of good appearance.

Felicity of the body will be enjoyed,

if Lagna is drishtied by, or yuti with a benefic."

~~ BPHS Chapter 12, shloka 4

Female's partner karaka = Guru

Often, the female meets her life partner in an athletic competition or body-musculature intensive setting, such as hunting, or fashion modeling, or other body display.

The partner's identification with physical genetic lineage is important to her, and the partner's ability to continue a particular genetic line, which generates a specific type of lineage appearance, may form the basis of the union.

• First marriage for female characterized by focused attention to the physical appearance, muscular athletic fitness, "battle-ready", and iconic social roles.

Regardless of external conditions in the union, the female will retain respect for the partner's ancestry and belief in the importance of continuing the lineage.
