"Multiple religions" = karaka for understanding a plurality of religions traditions via supplementation or conversion

• dramatist Marilyn Monroe converted from non-denominational Christian to to Judaism before her third marriage

• USA Congressman Newt Gingrich was raised Lutheran, converted to Southern Baptist, then converted again to Roman Catholicism

• Baba Ram Dass was raised in secular Judaism but embraced Hindu tradition as an adult

• "Hour of Decision" Baptist preacher Rev. Billy Graham was raised Presbyterian (church of the Elders) but converted to the youth-oriented "born-again" Baptist sect. His sensible wife remained a Presbyterian, keeping to the doctrine of her missionary upbringing.

From bhava-9, Brihaspati casts auspicious, expansive, permissive drishti upon domains 1-3-5 from radix lagna.

Thus are much helped, matters of

• pranic vitality (1)

• communications skills and scope (3)

• And political-theatrical genius (5).

Benefits priestly activities and ambassadorship , but gives karako bhavo nashto for an over-confident or self-righteous father.

• Global, international perspective.

• Cannot limit perception to a parochial range, at least not for very long.

• Big thinkers with positive dreams for the world.

• dramatist ambassador Angelina Jolie

Adores children -- though, ironically, one may not be able to spend much time with children due to global preaching duties.

gives generosity and expansion.

Can Guru be a malefic in Bhava-9? Yes, sometimes!

Like Surya, Guru in bhava-9 can produce karako bhavo nashto - "too much of a good thing". Because humility forms the basis of true confidence (con-fides, with-faith) too much personal certainty can cause a type of religious obesity wherein the native is grossly over-ritualized and rather unbearably certain of the truth.

This condition helps build the career of a preacher, proselytizer, preacher, or multi-level marketer -- but it is, ultimately, a barrier to faith. In Maraka: false guru, religious fraud.

Gives wealth and fame when Guru is swakshetra or uchcha with a strong lord.

• Sincerely dharmic philosophical nature, of the most inclusive and expansive type.

• Not in the least dogmatic; open to adventure and loves to travel.

• Exceptionally charitable and compassionate.

• Celebrates high rites in the temple.

• Splendid and welcoming communication with the world of the spirits. Wise and generous.

• Cared for and honored by the fellowship of true believers.

Unfortunately, if Guru is not well disposed, the native may become a poseur or false priest. Poorly placed Guru may gives pretensions to empire. One may suffer a confusion of entitlements through mistaking material power for spiritual wisdom.

Female's partner karaka = Guru

Often, the female native meets her life partner in a fortunate, sanctified, ritualized setting. The partner's identification with universities, temples, and established belief systems is important to her, and the prestige of partner's ceremonial roles may form the basis of the union

• UK-Queen Victoria-I

• diplomat, executive Eleanor Roosevelt

The husband is some sort of professor, preacher or priest.

Karako bhavo nashto

Both the first husband and the father may be significantly over-confident.

When Guru occupies bhava-9 the karako bhavo nashto condition will affect both the spouse and the father of the female.

These two figures are both somewhat bombastic, preachy or overbearing, and often over-entitled due to exaggerated self-importance gained through holding material assets. Nevertheless they are gainful and the family is well positioned socially.

• First marriage for female characterized by a strong orthodoxy of belief, and an attempt to supplement or replace one's absent or unavailable father.

Regardless of the external success or failure of the union, the female will retain a confidence in established belief systems and an awareness of their importance in her life.

• Another karako bhavo nashto situation which is less fortunate for both father and guru, who tend to have an inflated sense of the value of their own knowledge. However the native is deeply generous by nature. Wants to be a professor or priest, and often becomes one, in some guise.

• If Guru is uchcha or swakshetra or L-5 or lagnesha, Guru-9 = teacher-preacher for some cause,

• Ritual-repeating priest of reinforcing and repeating some class of core belief to their audience.

• Much good fortune awaits with Guru's placement in the felicitous house of "temples of knowledge". From this base, Guru casts drishti into domains 1, 3, and 5 - bringing a large physical body, auspicious siblings and team-workers, and blessing of children.

• Favors happiness through religious cultures which hold priestly authority and ceremonial practices in the highest regard
