Using the native 's radix and navamsha to find career attributes of a future husband


marr20_3rdspouse_potential.JPG


Many of us in the west find ourselves "between marriages" wondering about the characteristics of the next potential spouse. Also, students of reincarnation who may not be interested in a subsequent spouse in the current lifetime, may wish to investigate the characteristics of future-life spouses. Jyotisha students in particular benefit from focused exercise in counting houses from the karaka, in order to make predictions about the substance and timing of events.

Committed intimate relationships are the central spiritual practice for most people east and west. Marriage requires adherence to that oh-so-difficult vow to hold the spouse as a living representative and gift of the Divine. Whether marriage is consecrated solely with one's Ishtadevata (as in the case of the celibate religious), with a spouse of one's parents' choosing, with a single life partner of one's own choosing, or with multiple consecrated partners over the course of a long and complex lifetime - marriage remains the core spiritual practice of life.

IMO therefore questions similar to this one, about traits of a potential third spouse, are not trivial. Such questions are spiritual in nature and should be honored.

If the karma stored in one's subconscious mind - i.e., one's hidden expectations -- can be revealed even partially through the vidya of Jyotisha, this native will have an opportunity to acknowledge a truth about herself (not always flattering). The very act of conscious awareness and self-responsibility is the act that burns off future karma.

Will this third marriage actually manifest, and with these particular characteristics? Yes. If not in this life, then in the next! The good news is that the more meditative awareness work she is able to create about these characteristics of hers (which without divination she would see only in the default mirror of a human marriage) the more those characteristics will develop on the positive side of the continuum I.e., a strong Mars can be picky and contentious... or bold and courageous. It is our divinely given privilege to develop the positive option through consciousness.


Jyotisha analysis of career/public prestige attributes of prospective third husband:

Should you care to enter a third life partnership, we can estimate the profile of your 3rd husband from both radix and navamsha charts. Radix is more about material consequences; navamsha is the astral body's patterns which initiate the downstream ino the material plane.

Let's start building a profile of 3rd spouse's career:

  • 9th radix represents 3rd marriage partner.

  • From radix, which is the most material view, we see career of 3rd husband as 10th-from-9th, which for you is Dhanau (vedic Sagittarius).

  • The planetary lord of this unoccupied house is for you, the fairly auspicious Guru (Jupiter) in Simha (Leo).

  • Guru's Nakshatra position yields this energy in your subconscious, which will match the behavior of the 3rd spouse: possessor of great wealth, children, spouse, and intelligence. Head of an organization, or high ranking officer in the armed forces. [Behari, Planets in Signs and Houses]

  • Guru's bhava position yields this energy in your subconscious, which will match the behavior of the 3rd spouse:: Wealth, respectability, social status, powerful creative potential, wise behavior and great care in dealing with others. However, will be confronted by hostile forces in life and will suffer from some chronic illness. Difficulties in accumulating money, though you will never face a real shortage in this regard. [Behari, Planets in Signs and Houses]

    • (When the Jyotisha scriptures say "wealth" they mean more like the older English meaning of "weal" as we would say in "commonwealth" - that is, shared values. "Well-being" = full range of values: money for sure, but also aesthetic and ethical values, knowledge of history and traditions, and language abilities that allow us to communicate those values.

    • It's not a contradiction as it seems, to say that your 3rd husband would be wealthy and yet have difficulty accumulating money. Such a person has the dharma of accumulating wealth but they may face constant setbacks that make them less wealthy than optimal. E.g., stock market fluctuations, expensive divorce, high-cost medical expense etc.

    • The total result is substantial but not spectacular wealth. And importantly Guru gives this native optimism that despite setbacks they will generally take two steps forward, one step back - not the reverse! It's a good financial prospect, but a bit of a roller-coaster pattern over the entire lifetime.)

Navamsha influence, showing the astral pattern that initiates the downstream into the material plane.

  • The navamsha, which represents our subconscious expectations, has a great deal of control over what happens on the material plane (because we do get what we expect, even if we cannot consciously appreciate what our subconscious is setting us up for...)

  • Features of the navamsha can contradict or enhance the reality of the radix. So, if we don't check into the navamsha we might get a misleadingly cheerful or dour prediction from the radix alone, especially for anything having to do with the spiritual "mirroring" function of intimate relationships.

  • We attract intimate partners into our lives in order to learn information about ourselves that we simply cannot detect without having someone else feedback us on that behavior of ours. So, we look into *your* navamsha to see what part of you this part is mirroring through his career/professional space, and what you are expecting to experience in regard to his public prestige and performance behaviors.

  • Guru, who is undoubtedly an auspicious influence, occupies your 5th navamsha in the rashi of Mesha (Aries) which is a darned good location for Guru.

  • One possible downside for an early-in-life marriage would be that this location is not favorable for additional children through the third marriage, but I'd guess at your station in life you would rather direct your creativity into pleasures of the intelligent senses and don't need to reproduce again.

  • However, the rubber meets the road at this level of Jyotisha analysis, if we are looking for the astral driver of your 3rd husband's career, the subconscious reason that you would unite with him.

Guru's navamsha lord Kuja,and we read Kuja's behavior again from radix.

  • Kuja in Kanya/3 (as we have explored in your CD reading) has some difficult characteristics. However but those difficulties can be very successfully managed by a mature adult (older than 28, the year that Kuja "matures"). If consciously managed, Kuja can bear fine fruit.

  • Your experience of the 3rd husband's career therefore is focused on verbally contentious struggle with siblings and team-mates, much of it constructive eventually. Remember, other people will have other views of and experiences with your third husband. We are focused only on how he interacts with and affects *you*.

  • house-3: administrativebusiness processes, management consulting, or corporate troubleshooting where he has to be a professional (but well paid) bad guy who has an aggressive but accurate "just the facts" attitude toward problem solving.

  • Dysfunctional management teams or failing corporate cultures may be a corrective specialty of his.

  • Speech is aggressive at least in the professional setting.

  • Wealth definitely ensues due to 3rd house being house of "self-made-wealth".

  • You may have many business perceptions in common with the 3rd husband, and admire the bald accuracy of his assessments.

  • However it's not a good idea to actually work with him in any type of business partnership, because you have empowered him (due to your subconscious projection) to magnify one of your own traits: your own somewhat impulsive, direct, factual, and hyper-corrective communication style!

  • Although in your case this trait is much softened by your lovely, healing female rising Moon... his will be mentally even more volatile because you will be projecting your Matibhramana yoga onto him (Matibrahmana yogaoccurs when Chandra and Budha, the main mental and emotional communicators, are yuti or receive drishti from the two malefics Shani and Kuja.) Hey, that's what relationships are for! Great Projecting Mirrors!

  • Kuja/Kanya (Virgo) is associated with healing herbs, medicines, pharmaceutical work - so your 3rd husband may have a professional specialty related to medicines, especially in a sales or marketing area, or in government regulation/public policy, or possibly product development.

  • However the administrative elements such as writing reports and memos, attending meetings, presenting findings etc. are much stronger than the individualized, creativework ofdesign anddevelopment.

  • It is more likely that he has a solid business career, has invested his surplus income in speculative ventures (such as stock market) very successfully, and will be a working professional when you meet him.


  • Meeting the 1st spouse = any period of Venus. [IMO also Rahu]

  • Meeting the 2nd spouse = period of lord-of-2nd-from-Venus [IMO also Rahu]

  • Meeting the 3rd spouse = Vimshottari period of 9th-from-Shukra [IMO also Rahu].

  • (Rahu who enflames desires is the "evil twin" of Shukra!)

  • For you, lord-of-9th-from-Shukra = period of Budha(Mercury)11/2007-6/2008.

  • "Meeting"is the first definitive moment of psychic intimacy (usually long before occurrence of physical intimacy) which varies by culture. It can be a love-at-first-sight moment; the first "overnight" date; the first meeting between parentally arranged marriage partners (which varies from first meeting nine years before arranged marriage, all the way to first meeting at the actual marriage ceremony!).

  • First meeting is not anything too random like an email or meeting at a party. It needs that psychic merger quality when you "know" intuitively that this person is the one. (Unfortunately as with any other intuitive recognition, most people override their intuition with anxious reasoning or "common sense" and thus they fail to recognize the intuitive message.)

Psychic preparation for the most successful outcome:

  • IMO the best preparation for a significant new relationship is to build a clear, clear, clear psychic mock-up. Be just as precise and aware as you can be about what you want in the next relationship.

  • Get right into the details. I find that extensive journaling, visioning, and working through severalwalk-throughs of what I *think* I want helps me find "gotcha's" and other issues that emerge when vague yearnings are consciously transformed into specific requests.

  • However it's always worth remembering that once we have established a clear view of what pleasure and status we want, and what we hope to learn and achieve spiritually in the next phase, that we leave the method and the timing entirely up to God.

  • Once the mock-up is set, place it in a bubble and let the bubble float upto the divine. She will receive it, and help us reach our goals according to Her own plan. Tell God what you want, but don't tell Her how to get it for you!

  • (And if you change your mind on some of the details,it's OK to send up "revised versions" of the mockup. She understands.)

Here is a great example of mockup detailing from one of my psychic teachers a long time ago.

  • When the teacher was a young woman she so wanted to join a group of other young women traveling to Europe for the first time. None of them had traveled outside the US before and they were excited but anxious about this life-changing new experience.

  • But, her group was determined to go the following summer.

  • So, she made a clear mockup: I won't tell God how to do this, she said in meditation, but I believe that this trip will happen for me.

  • And she further envisioned The crucial details: walking through international airports, dining in French bistros, traveling on European trains etc. - many of the material details which anchored her mockup. As she walked through this desired future in detail during her sitting meditation, the young woman did not see any glitches or obstacles. The vision was clear and bright, with no foggy or blurry spots, which meant psychically that her mockup was grounded and going to succeed.

  • Well it turned out that within a few weeks of having a very confirming meditation, seeing some beautiful museum sculptures in a dream and waking up feeling exhilarated at this wonderful trip which was building energy toward manifestation, this young teacher was traveling in a car with three of her friends - all members of the trip group.

  • The car and driver were substantially insured. Accident insurance payments, when combined with their existing savings, covered all the (budget style) travel expenses for everyone in the group. They were all pretty well healed by the time their flight departed... however throughout the trip the power of their collective mockup inspired "fear and trembling" for them all!

  • My teacher's advice after this psychic experience was to always create a *complete* mockup. She says in her case, she recognized in hindsight that she needed to state more detail in her meditative mockup. She should have said clearly: "The trip to Europe will happen and it will be wonderful *and nobody gets hurt*"!!

So just having the most detailed, specific checklist of qualities and quantities when one is building a mockup, especially one as critical to life happiness as the mockup for a new marriage partnership, is extremely important.

Ironically, karma is burned off by consciousness. The more we know about ourselves and our interactions with others, the more consciously we manage our reactivity, the less room there is for chronic reptile-brain unconscious reaction.

Responsibility - without guilt - is the key to transforming some of the karmic elements of the 3rd marriage. An aggressive verbal environment or excessive (dehumanizing) objectivity or general selfishness (Mars/Virgo/3 traits) can be consciously redirected to into a proactive, mutually respectful, verbally detailed, and very interesting relationship!


May all beings venerate life as a state of deep spiritual intimacy.
