Surya in a natural house = swabhava ofRavi's
good friend
Brishaspati
radiates expansive, generous (Guru) personal
charisma (Surya) in public
ritual (9) and private guidance (12) roles =
-
spiritual guidance, prayer, and clandestine activities;
foreign life
-
distant lands, imagination, dreams, bedroom,
cloister, enclosure
creative, center-stage specialties =
-
diviner, trail guide, ferryman, shepherd, interpreter,
conveyor, meditator, bridge-watcher
Just as a wise King fills the royal
court with philosophers and priests, Surya the Royalist
is well placed in a natural house = swabhava ofRavi's friend the
religious-teacher Guru.
Spiritually the placement is beneficial
but socially and psychologically However there is some struggle
with lack (12) of recognition (Ravi) and recurring
identity loss.
If Surya =
strong (Mesha, Simha, Vrischika; yuti Mangala or yuti
Guru in hot rashi) one may have been a
recognized royal
figure in a recent past life; and the confusion caused by
clinging to that outdated centrality can
enforce a cycle of dream-time searching for continuing
present-time recognition.
-
The inner glittering brilliance
is still there but it is deeply enclosed within
the private psyche and not really visible to
the wider society.
-
Occasionally someone of socially
central status (modern royalty, corporate executives, political
heads of state) will recognize the native 's remarkable
qualities, usually in the context of a very private
relationship.
the native may become instantly
addicted (12) to the validation provided via
restored recognition = one's
absolute centality (Surya) within that important person's universe.
However, especially for a female this
is a difficult position socially: the recognizers are egoistic
(Ravi) persons (for the female, typically males = Ravi) who may
soon withdraw their praise and the native is plunged again into
an un-admired darkness.
Spirit guides are active in this life
and much imaginative personal intelligence (Surya) is engaged.
-
However the
instructions of the ancestral Guides tend to direct one along a
portion of the astral-to-material
path (12) which
develops the charismatic personal genius,
speculative intelligence, and self-promotion through one's
children (Surya)
-
rather than the
channel which develops broadly inclusive intuitive wisdom via
quiet interior dreams or reflective prayer which evokes the ever-present Divine (Guru).
Surya in 12 = seeks recognition for
one's intelligence regarding a distant land. This imaginary
foreign charisma is naturally somewhat dulled in one's
day-to-day land of living, and the native may find that tone's
life-force energy is drained out by constant re-engagement with
a land or culture that no longer anchors the social personality.
Surya in 12
gives intelligence and charisma in the enclosure.
One holds a royal court - in one's dreams.
There is a
natural intuitive brightness which shines Divine Light upon clandestine foreign
;
and international business dealings
subconscious memories
bedroom pillow-talk
or meditation and private prayer
Surya in Vyaya
bhava highlights the personal uniqueness of one's own dreams.
Surya brings
intelligent ego-brightness to the traffic on the bridge between the astral plane
(subconscious) and the material plane (conscious).
Surya in 12 also contributes to the dissolution of the fleshly
identity. Surya's theatrical style and political approach to dealing
with dream-like imagery tends to siphon off the vitality from the
animal, blood-fed, muscular body and transmit the life-force back into
the dream world. As a result Surya-12 becomes associated with identity loss.
One finds a centralposition in the dramaof
imagination-based behaviors, matters of intuition,
visionary wisdom, path-finding, guidance from the ancestors and
spirits out-of-body, art studio, library, laboratory, the bedroom,
hotel rooms, hospital rooms, mediation halls and prayer sanctuary.
-
the native 's early ego development often occurs in a
private, secluded environment where one
has the experience of being a privileged persona, born
into status of central importance, as a local celebrity,
or royalty. Yet the environment is cloistered, in some
variety of walled space or ghetto.
-
If Surya is strong, the father may hold a privileged position and
perhaps he is also a charismatic personality in this
secluded, protected, sanctuary environment.
-
The child is praised for having a vivid imagination,
and for playing alone or at least staying clear of the
parent's business. Needing imaginary playfriends, the
tiny child is welcomed into the world of spirit beings.
As an adult, such a person is happy and often quite
productive in environments where little is known about
the playmates or colleagues, such as in foreign service,
international relations etc. It is the same as the early
play-world with imaginary kings and queens speaking
fairy-languages.
-
The father is popular and admired, yet he has a
private life which may not be known to the child. One's
importance may depend largely on the father's local
political influence.
-
Typical ego-development conditions may be upbringing
on the private estate of a wealthy family, or
perhaps within a protected compound such a religious or
diplomatic mission, within the outpost of a foreign
government such as live-in embassy quarters or a
military command, or perhaps the native was raised
as the child of an expatriate executive living in
protected international satellite colonies of a powerful
multinational corporation.
-
The child's intelligence and appearance might not be
counted remarkable nor would the native have privileged
status in the mainstream world of one's home culture,
but foreign residence or the uniquely aristocratic
status of one's father creates a special bubble of
apparent distinction.
-
the native lives a happy life, ever believing in
one's inherent centrality in life's drama and creative
intelligence (if Surya-Mesha, also, leadership
capability); yet demonstrating very little material
output in areas where a strong Surya would be expected
to shine socially: politics, theatre, literature,
performance arts, speculations, amusements, and games.
-
The social personality is somewhat "standoff-ish" or
"living in one's head".
-
the native is not selfish in the negative sense, but
rather simultaneously disengaged from the business of
self-promotion while holding the belief in one's innate
importance.
-
It may strike outsiders as silly or pretentious, or
a personality disorder of irrationally high
self-estimation, but indeed the native is simply holding
two rationally incompatible beliefs: first that
one holds an ineffably superior entitlement in life (by
blood, or by station, or by divine attention); and
second that such an entitlement holds no mandate to
material action.
-
There may be some expression of the creative
intelligence toward the building of dormitories,
ashrams, hospitals, foreign residences, and charitable
works in general.
-
However overall the native does not utilize one's
supposed extraordinary qualities for any measurable
material purpose. However remarkable one may feel on the
inside, on the outside, one will effectively blend in
with the crowd.
Father
-
Surya in dushthamsha (6, 8, 12) is nearly always unfortunate for
the father. Often the father's identity is so dissolved that the native has little knowledge of him or relationship to him. The
father may be extremely busy with research or other cloistered
duties, hold a job far distant from the family home visiting only
infrequently (G
W
Bush) hospitalized for a chronic illness (Eleanor
Roosevelt, father alcohol poisoning) or even, having abandoned
the family, completely unknown to the native (Bill
Clinton,Marilyn
Monroe).
-
The dramatist Orlando Bloom is an interesting example: his
purported father was actually his step-father. The step-father died
when young Bloom was four. He grew up believing that his father had
passed to the next world (12) and left the family bereft of a solar
influence. In Rahu/Surya period, young teen Bloom found out that his
bio father is actually a still-living "family friend" - as if the
Father had resurrected. (Surya Dhanushya + Mangala + Budha.)
Vrihaspati's natural house = swabhavais a hospitable
resting place for Surya.
Presuming the rashi is supportive,
Surya is karaka for the Soul, and Ravi benefits the spiritual
development when in Vyayasthana. Not religious in the conventional
ritual sense. Purely spiritual.
-
the native likes to wander in foreign lands, usually with a
self-validationpurpose such as recovery of past-life knowledge or
political engagement with foreign lands.
-
International
perspective on all things; if Surya is strong this is the ruling
international elite .
-
Ego-identified with private agreements,
closed-door meetings and under-the-table dealings. Since these
are the daily doings of political advancement, politicians often
benefit from Surya/12.
Typically the nativity
with Surya-12 carries a feeling of being perpetually a
foreigner .
One is ego-identified with a land in which one is
not currently living. Whether one is living in the land of one's birth
but has ego-attachment to somewhere else, or one is living somewhere
else (usually for a long time) and has ego-attachment to the homeland
or even a third land, the native with Ravi in the ego-dissolving house
of dreams and bridge to astral reality is never quite settled
.
-
One seeks praise and recognition for one's
private imagination , and ability to relate
to those from foreign lands . -
That is the reason
why so very many distinguished international leaders in business
and government have the seemingly peculiar placement of Surya in
the obscure 12th house: modern leadership is inherently about
bright and positive interactions with people who seem a bit
distant and dreamy, because the interlocutor's identity is
grounded in a foreign land.
Surya perceives
identity in other worlds
Karaka for a Foreign Identity. Often
the native was born in and is socially identified with a culture foreign
to the land of one's passport. If a native son, will be more famous
outside the land of one's birth than amongst one's countrymen.
Powerful willpower
targeted upon the vision of a better, more ethical world .Strong
international identity; not a parochial ego.
-
May
be a gifted contemplative philosopher, but the material manifestation of
the house ruled by Surya will be expressed in a 'dissolved' style,
primarily via the imagistic channel of dreams.
-
"Head in the clouds" and impractical in
profession.
-
Fantasizes oneself in many important or dramatic social
roles, but unless other graha support a distinguished career,
Surya in 12 cannot itself materialize the fantasy of recognition.
-
Lacking kendra support, the native may remain unrecognized, "hiding one's light under a
barrel".
Confusion between real and imagined social
identities can make a creative theatrical performer or a criminal
impostor, depending on all the other graha in the nativity. the native may indeed live two lives: one, the heroic idealized fantasy life, and
the other, the timid, reality.
If Surya is
lagnesha, the native may be a may be a public icon who brings the world of private imagination
into the light of publicity ( Madonna).
Lacking other planetary ego supports, one stays hidden in some reclusive place.
Meditative
daydreams and fantasiesof social importance, royal or
celebrity recognition, enlightenment,
brilliance, winnings, feats of courage, and eternal life emerge
from past-life memories. the native was indeed a person of
high
creativity in a past life. By default, graha in bhava-12 are
'dissolved' into astral imagery. Whether this distinction will manifest
again in the current life depends on the supporting graha.
The
celebrities and world leaders featured in the column to the left are
examples of nativities = Surya in 12 + other "structural"
supports to the ego such as empowered graha in kendra. They were royal
persons in past lives, and they were able to continue high levels of
public recognition in the current life altho not (or rarely) in the
divine-right regal role.
-
Internationalism and an ability to
serve as an iconic representative of the collective unconscious are two
common features of Ravi/12.
-
Favors
scientific research into social patterns of celebrity recognition and
into the psychology of will-power.
Surya in 12 = strong for
Vrishabha lagna,
Simha
lagna, Kanya lagna,
and Dhanau
lagna.
the native 's early ego development
often occurs in a private, secluded environment wherein one
enjoys life as a privileged persona, born into status of celebrity,
royalty, or creative distinction.
The father
may hold a privilegedposition; perhaps he is
also a ccharismatic personality in this protected, sanctuary
environment. The father is popular and admired; yet he has a private
life which is unknown to the child (dalliance, espionage, etc).
For Dhanau, the father is likely a
politician or theatrical actor. For Vrishabha, he has military or
athletic success. For Kanya lagna, the father has some status akin to
royalty while he is stationed in a foreign land. For Simha, the child is
socially identified with the father as parent, but the father is absent;
perhaps the papa is stationed abroad or only a glamorous figure in the
child's imagination. In Madonna's
case, her widowed father remarried and while remaining financially
responsible, nevertheless withdrew psycho-emotionally from his
daughter's life.
-
Typical ego-development
conditions may include: upbringing on the private estateof a
distinguished family ( Eleanor
Roosevelt),
or perhaps within a protected compound such a religious or diplomatic
mission, within the outpost of a foreign government such as live-in
embassy quarters or a military command, or perhaps the native was raised
as the child of an expatriate executive living in protected
international satellite colonies of a powerful multinational
corporation.
-
Compare to
G
W
Bush - 43, who was raised in a privileged compound and later
in dormitories of private schools, but whose Surya occupies Mithuna
rashi, and thus he mingled comfortably with those of diverse
backgrounds.)
The child's intelligence and appearance might not be
counted remarkable nor would then native have privileged status in the
mainstream world of one's home culture, but the unique conditions of foreign residenceor the
unique 'foreign dignitary' status of one's father creates a special
bubble of apparent superiority, talent, or moral virtue.
the native lives a peculiar, not unhappy life, ever believingin one's own inherent
moral clarity and creative intelligence (if Surya-Mesha, belief in one's
leadership capability). Yet, one demonstrates very little material output in
areas where a strong Surya, were it not sequestered in 12, would shine: politics, theatre, literature,
performance arts, speculations, amusements, and games.
The social
personality is rather proudlyreserved, self-centered but
not flamboyant, and persistently standoffish. If L-11 or its lord is
strong, this native may be quite goal-oriented and build a large network
of instrumental friendships, but one's aristocratic airs may still be
felt.
the native is not selfish in the negative sense, but
rather one is disengaged from the business of self-promotionwhile simultaneously convinced of one's innate royal superiority. It is
a difficult juxtaposition of convictions (Ravi) which creates a
permanent "foreigner" identity; defined by a deep astral voice
announces that one is a radiant, elegant, and privileged strangerin one's own land.
the native may often refer to imaginary
glory daysin another land or another time. the native 's
public behavior may
strike outsiders as pretentious or unjustifiable based on the typically
rather mundane conditions of the material life.
If Surya + Rahu or Surya +
Ketu, the native may even be perceived to show a personality disorder of
irrationally high self-estimation. But indeed the native is simply
holding two rather internally inconsistent beliefs: first that one holds an
ineffably superior entitlement in life (by blood, or by station, or by
divine attention); and second that such an entitlement of intelligence
or holds no mandate
to material action on behalf of others.
There may be some expression of the creative
intelligence toward the building of dormitories, ashrams, hospitals,
foreign residences, and international charitable works.
However unless other, more motivated
graha accompany Surya/12, overall the native does not utilize one's supposed extraordinary qualities for much material
purpose. No matter how exemplary one may feel on the inside -- on
the outside, one will easily blend in with the crowd.
Dramatic exceptions caused by strong
companion graha in 12 include Mrs.
Eleanor
Roosevelt who was high-born to spectacularly dysfunctional parents,
but instead of following them into mental and physical illness, she
because extremely active in charitable works and foreign embassy. Note
Mrs. Roosevelt's power-house Budha-Surya-Chandra-Mangala yoga in
bhava-12!
Privacy
Surya in bhava-12tends to "hide one's
light under a bushel". the native channels divine creativity
primarily through works of the imagination, or through intense ego-engagement
with foreign lands. Strong ego-identity as a foreigner regardless of the country
of birth or permanent residence.
Exception: parivartamsha yoga with the L-1 ( Madonna)
may provide
extreme publicity for
the
private, imaginative imagery
and worldwide recognition.
