"If Venus is combust, the native will be extravagant, and an attachment with persons whose affairs are always in a deranged or ruinous state, and his property will be continually wasted in retrieving them." ~~ Behari


Shukra gains Moudhya status (combust)within 9 degrees proximity to Surya, or if retrograde:within 14 degrees of Surya


When Surya and Shukra are together in one rashi, the Father (Surya), politics (Surya) and the native 's philosophical viewpoint (Surya) typically have a very strong effect on matters represented by Shukra.


Das comments = The Sun conjoins Venus "Earns money by dealing in things having to do with the eyes, colors, paints, or from the stage, theater, cinema, public amusements, weapons, arms and ammunition. Will be intelligent. There may be gain through the spouse or their relations, or from other contacts due to the opposite sex. Skillful in the use of weapons, mighty, weak sighted in old age, able to amuse the public, libidinous, interested in music, happy in regard to spouse and friends."


In the case of a female,

her ability to attract sexual attention and feel sensually beautiful in her self is much dominated by her idealistic views. Such a female may suffer from perfectionismin her appreciation of her own beauty.

  • She enjoys the company of philosophers and politicians.

  • If Shukra + Surya occupies the lagna, she may enter political competitions herself ( Hillary Clinton).

If Shukra is combust, her natural feminine sensuality may be Overpowered by her ethical ideals.Her love can be evoked only through romance with a philosophically oriented man of great speculative intelligence: Plato's true philosopher-king.


For a male nativity,

the man is attracted toward woman who are strongly influenced by the will and beliefs their own fathers. Such a wife is typically interested in politics(Surya) and has her own strongly independent willpower.

As Shukra approaches greater degrees of moudhya, the will and beliefs of the wife's father gains more and more influence over her.

At the point of absolute combustion, where Surya and Shukra share the same degree of their rashi ( Oprah Winfrey) the father may exercise extraordinarily willful control over his daughter.


Both male and female nativity with Shukra + Surya are typically handsome in appearance. Exception to this rule is when the daityaguru occurs with Ravi in Simha, particularly when moudhya - then Shukra's cool attractive beauty is overwhelmed by Surya's hot, masculine, idealistic self-assertion.

The bhava, rashi, and drishti will indicate nature of the dominance of Surya's paternal, political, and philosophical influence upon the behavior of the wife (for a man) and upon the experience of sexual and sensual pleasures in the lifestyle.


Bhava-1



Hillary Clinton's political-philosophical And Theological intelligencedominates her public personality. She has spoken publicly about the great importance of her father, and her male religious advisers, in her character development.

She is an political-philosophical-ideological powerBhava-(neechcha bhanga L-11 Surya, where Surya = L-7 from Chandra), and she is physically attractive due to swakshetra Shukra in lagna, but she has a longstanding reputation for stubborn willfulness Andinability to compromise her ideals. The sensual troubles in her marriage (and her husband's notorious infidelities) are well known.

Yet she has often said that she is consistently delighted in the intellectual company of her husband, whom she finds highly intelligent and possessed of a tremendous idealismhimself (Shukra + Surya = love of politics, and love of genius.)

It is quite likely that she admires her husband and appreciates his contribution to the quality of her philosophical and political life, without perhaps having access herself to the deeper levels of animal sensuality which her husband needs in his own intimate life.

Hillary Clinton's Shukra in Vishaka occupies 14 degrees distance from Surya in Swati, and Shukra is not retrograde, therefore Shukra does not gain moudhya.Nevertheless the willpower, intellectualization and love of politicswhich characterize Surya + Shukra are present in the very strong form, by swakshetra Shukra and a neechcha bhanga Surya within her Thula lagna .

Every woman marries her father, in some sense.

  • Surya = L-7 from Chandra suggesting that Mrs. Clinton detects her father's political will (for good or not!) in her husband, and this matches her own political intelligence, and this similarity is a foundation of the marital bond.


As a male, Ted Turnerdisplays behavior associated with Shukra + Surya as it applies to a man's taste in women. He is attracted to women who are dominated by their fathers' willful character and philosophical ideals. With the Surya + Shukra yoga in lagna, these women have much ability to define his ideals and his and social identity.

Turner's Shukra at 5 degrees of Scorpio in "deal-maker" Anuradha is quite combustdue to proximity of Surya at 3 degrees also in Anuradha.

Turner has been married and divorced several times. He has a lifelong reputation for promiscuity, along with deep philosophical idealism and a love of the Earth that has manifested in ecological political activismand bankrolling of large-scale environmental protections.

Turner's 4th wife, the actress, businesswoman, and author Jane Fonda, is certainly a talented beauty in her own right, but her life has also been very strongly and publicly influenced by her famous father, the dramatist Henry Fonda.

Bhava-2


Fidel Castro (dictator of Cuba).

  • There is a 25-degree gap between Castro's Surya at 27 degrees of Karkata in Azlesa, versus his Shukra at 2 degrees of Karka, in Punarvasu Nakshatra . The effects are weakened, but Castro's first wife was likely much beholden to the will and beliefs of her father.


Oprah Winfrey 's Shukra is absolutely and completely combust, at 15 degrees of Makara, in the Nakshatra of Shravana "the listener".

  • Her extraordinary romantic idealism and dominant personal willfulness (Ravi) would appear to make the day-to-day petty negotiations of mundane marriage rather uninteresting.

  • She may yearn for the ineffable ideal husband who is the successful business leader (Makara) and also the philosopher-king.

  • But such a man does not exist in the flesh - and so one's work at the highest levels of social leadership (Makara) becomes one's more intimate companion.

Sahaja Bhava-3


Shri Aurobindo

  • Shukra combust in Magha. Shukra does poorly in the rashi of enemy Surya. The queenly energy of Magha, sign of the fire priest, is very powerful.


Winston Churchill's troubles with willful, idealistic and powerful women are chronicled in the literature written by him and about him.

  • His wife was a powerfully independent and controlling ( Jyestha) woman, prone to assert controversialpositions in politics.

  • It is reasonable to assert that she was indeed driven by the character of her own father; yet Shukra + Surya being in Vrischika her own paternity was uncertain. But her wealth and social position were firmly anchored, and she did what she wanted, when she wanted.

  • However, Surya in Anuradha and Shukra in Jyestha are far enough apart that Shukra does not enter the moudhya zone. Shukra's lord is in lagna, suggesting that Churchill's personality identification with his wife was strong and character defining. Despite infidelities on both sides, Churchill was married only once, and his elderly wife did not remarry when he died.

Bhava-4


Thomas Jefferson's first wife was strong-willed and idealistic, and so was he.

  • However Shukra in Bharani (the worker who bears and carries) is well out of the range of combustion from the self-centered, heroic Surya in the first degree of Azwini.

  • Notoriously, Jefferson with Shukra in Bharani was believed to have conducted a long common-law marriage and fathered several children with his African slave house-servant.

Bhava-5



Bill Gateshas Surya at 12 degrees of Thulain Swati, while Shukra is at 25 Thulain Vishaka, and Shani nearby at 27 Vishaka.

  • Shukra is not in moudhya, and Shukra + Shani is a exceptionally auspicious combination.

  • The wife is a woman of extraordinary grace of movement ( Swati is graceful but often a small limp or irregularity in the gait) and excellent diplomatic capabilities. She has a dominant and perhaps less ethical father herself (Surya is neechcha and not neechcha bhanga). She may have bent her own ideals to accommodate her father's will and beliefs somewhat.

  • However Shani provides a tremendous bulwark to the wife's personality, and she earns her own achievements. Excellent character. (Which is certainly an asset in marriage to a guy with a major Kuja dosha.)


With Surya at 19 Shravana and Shukra at 15 Shravana, Franklin D. Roosevelt had the expected difficulties and rewards in the character of his wife Eleanor Roosevelt.

  • Shukra is highly combust. The wife's natural sensuality was annihilated by her own father's willfully low morality Her father died in a sanatorium for alcoholics, after producing a child with his house-servant, when Eleanor was eight. Her trust in men was destroyed but it was replaced with a tremendous social idealism which became a gifted to the depression-and-war shocked world.

  • Within his own personal life, FDR turned to other women for romantic engagement and sensual comfort, including Lucy Mercer who was with FDR when he died.

  • In the 5th Bhava-of politics, Shukra = FDR's own love of politics and his ability to bend his ego in the organization-man sign of Makara.

Behari says of L-12 Surya/Makara/5:

  • "Your intelligence and idealism may become obscured. You wear a look of other-worldliness; your education is impaired. ... You struggle to maintain your identity while experiencing restriction."

And of L-2+L-9 Shukra/Makara/5,

  • "This position energizes your sensual nature so much that the central pivot of your life is the satisfaction of carnal passions. You immerse yourself in it whole-heartedly and thus bring considerable disrepute to your parents.

  • Your artistic talents are much stifled due to your indulgences. However, you manage to obtain money from your nefarious activities."

Bhava-6


  • Carl Sagan(actor, self-appointed science authority)

Carl Sagan has Surya + Shukra within two degrees in Thula and Vishaka, and in bhava-6 for the Vrishabha/Krittika lagna as well.

  • Three marriages and two divorces, to highly intelligent and professionalized women scientists and designers.

Bhava-7


  • Adolph Hitler (genocidal murderer, political dictator)

  • Sigmund Freud(psychoanalyst)

  • Bob Dylan(songwriter, poet)

Adolph Hitler :

Shukra = retrograde = moudhya within 14 degrees of Surya. Extraordinarily complex and problematic involvement with women.

  • Love of politics, tremendous idealism, sensual/sexual love and artistic appreciation of beauty (Shukra) are inseparable from competition, hunting, and fatal blood war (Mangala/7).

  • Violence toward women, sex involves threats and bodily harm. Marriage occurs only minutes before death.


Sigmund Freud, Shukra + Rahu in Azwini and Surya in Bharani , Shukra not combust.

  • Great theoretical and philosophical idealism, driven by a scientific ego.

  • His theories on sexual attraction as the basis of all human motivation, while certainly taboo-breaking (Shukra + Rahu) have turned out to be rather weak in clinical practice, suggesting that Freud's intellectual ego(Surya) may have dominated his more delicate understanding of human love.

  • The Shukra + Surya + Rahu combination in bhava-7 of partnership suggests a wife who is very much dominated by her own father's will, a highly self-concerned and idealistic woman, who would also have her own independent sexual behavior.

  • Even Freud's six children could not have kept such a wife constrained.


ForBob Dylan, Surya + Shukra in Rohini Nakshatra did create a great love poet whose central theme is the need for adoring attention in relationships.

  • But karako bhavo nashtoapplies when swakshetra Shukra occupies yuvati bhava; the wife no matter how beautiful or idealized by her husband is sensually willful and dominated by her father's beliefs for her and about her.

  • Despite producing a prodigious number of children, marriage becomes difficult due to the wife's strong sensual entitlement.

Bhava-8


  • Brooke Shields(fashion model, actor)

Bhava-9


  • USA Pres-35, John F Kennedy

  • Demi Moore (dramatist, model)

  • Virginia Woolf (author)

John F Kennedy'sfirst wife Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was famously independent minded.

  • JFK's Surya = 15 Rohini while Shukra at 24 degrees = Mrigashirsha. Shukra is just hovering on the border of moudhya.

  • Clearly JFK had a great love of politics. He entered politics extremely early in life, and practiced no other profession until his tragic death.

  • Shukra in a man's chart represents his feminine, receptive, attractive sensuality - his own magnetic beauty, and his ability to attract attention. Normally for a man these are passive or dormant traits which he must manifest materially through the appearance and behaviors of his wife. Thus the wife should be well described through the characteristics of a man's position of Shukra.

Das says of Shukra/Vrishabha/9,

  • "You will lose the desire for physical giftsand become highly sensitive to non-physical vibrations. Ordinarily, however, this position is characteristic of someone who still needs a few more lifetimes before he can truly appreciate the need for spiritual regeneration."

(Mrs. Kennedy, after two spectacularly wealthy and famous marriages, may indeed have lost the desire for physical gifts toward the end of her life. However when she was married to Mr. Kennedy she was very young and acquisitive.)

  • When Shukra shares a rashi with Surya in a male nativity, Ravi will represent not only the man's ego and idealism, but also in the life of this man's wife, Ravi will show the influence of her father.

Thus what Das says of Surya/Vrishabha/9 should apply to Ms. Bouvier Kennedy's father, which effects Mr. Kennedy would have experienced during his marriage:

  • "You may espouse a beautiful philosophyin impressive melodious language and speak movingly of charitable actionand patriotic aspirations.

  • You may assure people of your help in supporting their betterment.

  • But behind all these utterances and assurances will be your strongly felt passion for attaining sensual gratification-which may be political, social, or financial."

Women do marry their fathers, and when Surya + Shukra occurs in bhava-9, the husband is a very close match to her father indeed. She may feel a need to resist both of these men in order to establish her own identity.

Bhava-10


Bhava-11


  • Rudi Giuliani (former mayor of NYC and 2008 presidential candidate)

  • Calvin Coolidge

Rudi Giuliani - combust with Surya in "desire me" Rohini but Shukra in self-admiring, "critical of the woman" Krittika.

Bhava-12


Madonna's extraordinary independent will, her love of the stage, of exhibitionism, of glamour and literature, and her attraction to men of genius (as she perceives it) are well known.

"And now my friends,

all that is true, all that is noble,

all that is just and pure,

all that is loveable and gracious,

whatever is excellent and admirable -

fill all your thoughts with these things."

~~ Philippians 4:8
