Unions 21 Lisa Marie Presley (singer)  Four marriages The American singer & famous daughter Lisa Marie Presley, has married four times by the age of 38.  Overall indications for multiple marriage, observed in D-1/D-9:  Radix L-7 Shani yuti Rahu, whenever L-7 is with amplifying, risk-taking Rahu, this yoga contributes to multiple marriages L-7 = Shani, & Shani gains strength in marriage matters because Shani rises in navamsha, increasing the native's karmic obligation to form one difficult marriage after the next Because L-7 is yuti Rahu, the likelihood of marriage events is increased during periods of Rahu and also gochara Rahu/Ketu "returns" to marriage lagnas Navamsha Shani & Kuja occupy the navamsha lagna axis.  Kuja is neutral to Shani, but Shani sees Mars as an enemy. (Shani's conservatism hates Mangala's impulsiveness.)  D-9 shows the inner, spiritual life of the native.  D-9 creates the blueprint for the intimacy of marriage.  Psychically, Kuja/Vrishabha in the 7th  navamsha shows that this native expects a strong, sensual & artistic male force to energize & define her identity (navamsha  L-1 in 7).  And that would work just fine... if it weren't for the "showstopper" of Shani in the D-9 lagna, which marks the inner environment with vindictive self-criticism & repressed anger. Kuja/Vrishabha in the 7th navamsha, which represents the spouse, is very loving, generous, & sexual.   Each marriage is entered with positive expectation.  Yet the inner conflict is severe; the cycle of marriages responds, however successfully, to the inner call to resolve that conflict by learning more about the Self through the Mirror of intimate Other.. Modern marriage is increasingly less determined by economic survival & village ethos than in eras past (and than marriage still is, in the third world). Whether the native has one marriage, multiple marriages, or no marriage at all, each spin of the marriage wheel gives an opportunity to bring subconsciously stored information about one's core marriage - to the divine - up to the surface of consciousness. Marriage 1 = 3-Oct-1988.  Age 20.  (to Danny Keogh, fellow musician.) Shani/Rahu period Rahu = marriage-maker, karaka of risky, impulsive, or high-passion marriages Gochara Rahu-Ketu transit to Meena/Kanya contacting axis of  radix Rahu-Ketu contacting axis of  navamsha Rahu-Ketu Characteristics: The first husband is shy & socially retreating, defined by a low-confidence Surya/Makara & L-7 Shani being austere & spiritual.   Das says, "Your personal life will be a mystery; isolated from society, you are withdrawn, making you appear to be a kind of sleepwalker".   Social duty, good behavior, & fear of exposure predominate.  Also, the L-2 occupying yuvati bhava is a divorce indicator. child-1 = Shani/Rahu - 29-May-1989 Rahu gives effect of his lord Guru child-2 = Shani/Guru - 21-Oct-1992 Guru is karaka for children Marriage 2 = 18-May-1994 Age 26 (to Michael Jackson, fellow musician & entertainer.) Budha/Budha period This is a very peculiar Vimshottari marriage timing. Perhaps when I have further matured in Jyotisha I will be able to explain how Budha/Budha period creates a marriage in this D-9...  If the birth time is increased from the given time of 17:01 hrs to a new time of 17:21 hrs, then Budha becomes the navamsha L-7 and this timing might make sense. Celebrity birth times are of course inherently unreliable. Gochara Rahu/Ketu transiting Kumbha/Simha Rahu contacts navamsha Shukra and  radix Moon External social profile & traits, 2nd spouse:  the 4 grahas which populate LMP's 2/8 lagna suggest that spouse-2 has a high-profile personality spouse-2 is powerfully activated when gochara Rahu/Ketu enter Kumbha/Simha radix house-2 =  Simha-Guru, a karaka for wealth & prestige.   The Kumbha group Chandra/Kuja/Budha create a very complex self -other relationship in the 2nd marriage. These traits include emotional trauma (Chandra), eccentricity & awkward communication (Budha) & frequent surgeries (Kuja) involving the skin (Kumbha). L-9 Guru occupies house-2, creating a powerful psychic resemblance between the 2nd husband & the father.  L-2 Surya occupies a navamsha of Budha, which suggests that radix Budha/Kumbha - a very peculiar position - defines the marriage. This spouse is an eccentric genius, perhaps dangerously isolated, who relates brilliantly to the unknown masses while oppressed in communication to his own tribe. Also, L-9 in dhana bhava (i.e., L-9 = lord of 8th-from-2nd) is a second divorce indicator.  (2nd divorce will be hostile due to poor conditions in house-9, but 1st divorce is amicable due to auspicious conditions in house-2.) Marriage 3 =  10-Aug-2002  Age 34 (to actor & fellow entertainer, Nicolas Coppola Cage) Budha/Rahu period Rahu a passionate marriage-maker as always Rahu yuti L-7 Gochara Rahu/Ketu Vrischika/Urisha contacting navamsha lagna External traits of the 3rd spouse  should be known from the 9/3 axis of radix. One look at this native's Kanya/Meena axis will show that spouse-3 is a passionate, impulsive, & perhaps resentful personality with extraordinary inner tension. Despite creative genius this person may be almost impossible to live with. L-8 Shani in house-9 for 3rd marriage is also a divorce indicator, although it would not have enough power to cause divorce without the amplification of Rahu. During Rahu period, while Rahu-Ketu return to the natal points, marriage-3 is intense, volatile, & brief. Marriage 4 = 22-Jan-2006  Age 38 (to fellow musician, Michael Lockwood) Budha/Guru period Similar to marriage-2, the Vimshottari period of Guru is a very unusual timing for a marriage.  It would make sense if the birth time were increase to 17:21 hours Traditionally, and still to this day in very conservative societies, a period of Guru can bring into the life of a marriageable woman a man who is literally her Guru, who brings everything to her.  But this signification is unlikely for a modern woman in control of a large material fortune. However, the power of Rahu in radix & navamsha is dramatic, & Rahu-Ketu's return to the natal Meena/Kanya axis guarantees that something dramatic, similar to its first effects in 1988, would occur.  That something dramatic was another marriage.  Guru typically brings children, so prognosis for children through this union is strong. Gochara Rahu-Ketu Meena/Kanya;  contacting powerful axis of both radix & navamsha nodes (same as marriage-1) External traits of the 4th spouse  should be known from the 10/4 axis of radix. For this native Mesha/Thula axis of D-1 contains no graha.  L-10 Kuja in navamsha gives the results of Shukra (music) while L-4 Shukra in navamsha gives the results of Surya.  Overall there is a strong correlation between marriage-1 and marriage-4. There is no strong attraction or repulsion factor in marriage-4. However the period of L-8 Shani, a core disruptive factor in the interior landscape seen via navamsha Shani rising in the rashi of enemy Kuja, follows the period of the 4th marriage. Shani is a karaka for separations, and in Budha mahadasha Shani is also the final or "closure" bhukti.  Shani is a separator.  Ketu mahadasha, likely to bring both meditation & moodiness, follows after Shani. Marriage profile is composed of: radix house-7 and L-7 radix Chandra & 7th-from-Chandra/its lord navamsha lagna, navamsha house-7, and L-1/L-7 within the D-9 navamsha L-1/L-7 as they function within the radix 1. radix yuvati bhava The profile components from radix house-7 define the first marriage in particular, and set a framework for all subsequent marriages.   Subsequent marriages will show different external traits, the subsequent spouses may have different professions, social markers, emotional makeup etc. but the native's general behavior pattern within marriage will repeat across all marriages for the current lifetime from the profile set in yuvati bhava, L-7, & lords of navamsha L-1/L-7. Here is the portion of the marriage behavior profile presented in radix: Karka lagna and Simha lagna both have built-in marriage troubles due to Shani's lordship of their seventh houses. Marriage tends to be motivated by perceived necessity, and the theme of duty & responsibility is stronger than the themes of love or voluntary compromise. Duty is not a bad thing in marriage, and can be a sustaining force during difficult patches.  However, there is a somber and heavy quality to marriage which will be either helped or harmed by occupying planets in house-7. Surya in house-7 is problematic in any rashi. Surya is karaka for independence, individuality, & the soul's direct, unmediated connection to the divine.  Marriage is about interdependence & sentimental attachment, mediated relationship to the divine through the partner, & the privilege to see oneself in the mirror of the partner.   When Surya occupies house-7 the partner-mirror shows an image of the native as a socially important individual rather than as a private, intimate partner. Even if their work is not famous, the native gets better ego validation from their role in greater society than from marriage.  As a result marriage is not nourished (Surya is the hot, dry enemy of Shukra). Divorce is likely.  Surya is unfavorably placed in the rashis of Surya's mutual enemy Shani.  Some of the general characteristics of Ravi/Makara are "interest in low class persons, greed, working in low jobs, timidity, lacking relatives, fickle, a wanderer, weak, can lose everything due to conflicts with his relatives, a voracious eater." Surya receives no planetary drishti in Lisa Marie's rashi kundali, so there is little positive modification of these basic traits which represent the character of the spouse as well as the image of oneself which is reflected back to the native via the spouse. Das says that when Ravi/Makara occupies house-7, "Your intellect is so turbulent that you will not be sexually satisfied, even with an attractive & cooperative spouse. You either have no children, or have rebellious ones. You seek out sexual liaisons with those who move in social circles higher than your own." May all beings venerate life as a state of deep spiritual intimacy.
