Atmakaraka = Chandra (patriotism, motherhood)

Azlesa Chandra for Females only:

Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra.p 94:

"... this person is careless and unclean about herself

and the manner in which she dresses.

She is not good-looking but indeed rather homely.

She is distinguished by some disfigurement on face or body

and is rather miserable and unhappy.

She has a secretive and rather bitter nature

and is somewhat harsh and unkind in her dealings with others where opportunity presents itself.

If she cultivated kindness and tact,her shortcomings might be forgotten by those with whom she comes in contract.

But her attitude and appearance are not conducive to popularity."

"A benefic in Lagna will give a pleasing appearance, while a malefic will make one bereft of good appearance.

Felicity of the body will be enjoyed, if Lagna is drishtied by, or yuti with a benefic." ~ BPHSChapter 12, shloka 4

Holmes
Chandra in tanu-bhava-1

Ketu in bhava 8 = Rahu in bhava 2

Ambivalence (Ketu) toward occult knowledge, secrets and hidden resources
Desire (Rahu) to be recognized as an important holder of treasuries of wealth or knowledge

Rahu in 2

In her Shukra-Rahu period and gochara Rahu-Ketu opposition in 2/8 (family vs. spousal values) the relatively unknown young actress Katie Holmes suddenly began a passionate relationship with the famous, wealthy, and professionally elite-status film actor Tom Cruise.

Rahu = 11th-from-Shukra = gainful.

Rahu in bhava-2 = self-elevation from the original social station at birth via the power of voice, face, speech, treasuries of collected knowledge and stored wealth, ability to utilize and project precious lineage values.

During Rahu periods, Rahu in 2 typically takes a great leap upward into a higher station of acquired or re-acquired (remembered) treasures of knowledge and wealth.
- One attempts to rejoin an ancient knowledge lineage from which one was earlier ejected.
- There is also usually something exotic or inappropriate in the family history(perhaps an illegitimate birth, perhaps several generations back) which alters the conventional flow of lineage knowledge, providing both opportunity for advancement and disruption of secure transmission in the line of inheritance (may be a genetic line or an dominant astral heritage).
The relationship catapulted her to a level of fame which far outreached her acting experience or her proven talent.
Her lifestyle changed suddenly from the modest Midwestern American family culture in which she was raised to an elite international jet-set glamour.
Most tellingly for Rahu the Poseur, Ms. Homes made a dramatic change of religious creed, from the mundane, conservative Roman Catholicism of her upbringing into an unorthodox and unfamiliar religious cult.
In Ms. Homes case Shani + Rahu suggests severe family judgment for her liberation behavior, which included marriage to a multiple divorcee and bearing a child before taking the vows of marriage.

Rahu's Great Leap Forward in bhava-2 creates a sudden advance to a higher level of social privilege.

During the mahadasha of Rahu and bhukti periods of Rahu, there may be a sudden spring forward from the customs and limitations of the family historyinto new behaviors which match the customs of a "higher" social echelon.

One tends to 'leave behind' the baggage of old, outdatedfamily fears, rules, and values in the great leap forward toward liberation and privilege. Although the family may judge the native as disruptive, the native oneself feels the excitement of sudden opportunity.

However Rahu generally produces too much too fast,and the longer-term consequences of the Great Leaps Forward are by and large unsustainable.

Cruise = Mangala L-7

The thrice-married action-hero film actor Tom Cruise has L-7 Mangala in bhava-8yuti Budha, suggesting that all agreements (7) = somewhat volatile. Native = inclined toward mysterious liaisons.

For Thula, Mangala-8 + youthful Kumara produces a frequent-turnover cycle of increasingly younger (Kumara), more sensually attractive (Vrishabha) wives from each of whom the native eventually withdraws (L-12 Budha).

First marriage for Katie Holmes = age 27

(Holmes) Marriage 1 = (17) 18-Nov-2006

Shukra/Guru/Rahu period

Guru = L-7 navamsha
L-9 Guru in radix lagna is exceptionally auspicious, signifying a period of advantage on physical, emotional, mental, social and spiritual levels
However in the role of L-6, Guru has problematic qualities of illness, animosity and loss of agreement. Note the occasion of marriage = the very last days of Guru period, suggesting prolonged difficulty in reaching agreement due to effect of L-6.
Karkata lagna is well-suited to an elder and more experienced spouse due to Shani = L-7 radix

Gochara Rahu-Ketu:

transiting Kumbha-Simha
crossing bride's natal radix Ketu-Rahu axis
crossing bride's navamsha Chandra Kumbha
Ketu contacts Shani, suggesting an element of responsibility or duty (e.g., parenting)

Gochara Guru

contacts navamsha L-7 Guruin the D-9

Gochara Shukra

contacts navamsha L-7 Guruin the D-9

Marriage History for Tom Cruise

Marriage 1 = 09-May-1987

Budha/Shani period

Shani =karma karaka = duty and obligation.

Shani is not L-1 or L-7 navamsha, so the circumstances of marriage will generally be material obligation connected with the pressure of Time

Shani's presence in navamsha bhava-7 along with confusing Ketu exacerbates Shani's potential for creating an obligatory marriage

Gochara Rahu-Ketu:

transiting Meena-Kanya

crossing groom's navamsha Chandra (Kanya)

(Cruise) Divorce 1 = (final) Feb 1990 Ketu/Ketu period

Ketu is a divorce karaka signifying "disconnection" and "I give up"

Ketu's radux lord and cotenant = Shani, a separation and realism karaka

Gochara Rahu-Ketu:

transiting Makara-Karkata

crossing radix nodal axis, plus crossing radix Chandra-Shukra-Shani (major lifestyle change)

(Cruise) Marriage 2 =24-Dec-1990 Ketu/Shukra period

Shukra = kalatrakaraka = attraction to mate

Shukra is not L-1 or L-7 navamsha, so the circumstances of marriage will generally be a pleasant romantic and sexual attraction.

Shukra is a glamour-career graha in Cruise's bhava-10. Radix Shukra = tightly involved with Rahu, Chandra, and Shani showing a complex and taboo-breaking involvement with foreigners (Rahu) but a high responsible and essentially traditional (Shani-Chandra) family and professional life

Gochara Rahu-Ketu:

Transiting Meena-Kanya = cross groom'snavamsha Chandra (Kanya)

(Cruise) Divorce 2 = (final) Aug 2001 Shukra/Chandra period

Ketu is a divorce karaka signifying "disconnection" and "I give up"

Ketu's radix lord and cotenant = Shani, a separation and realism karaka

Gochara Rahu-Ketu:

Transiting Makara-Karkata = cross radix Rahu-Ketu axis, plus radix Chandra-Shukra-Shani (likely a catastrophic scale of psychic, emotional and structural lifestyle change, high-impact disruption in the home)

(Cruise) Marriage 3 = (17)

18-Nov-2006 (age 44)

Shukra/Rahu periodRahu in bhava-10

Rahu = karaka of marriages by passion, obsession, and impulsive risk

Shani is not L-1 or L-7 navamsha, so the circumstances of marriage will generally be material obligation connected with the pressure of Time

Shani's presence in navamsha bhava-7 along with confusing Ketu exacerbates Shani's potential for creating an obligatory marriage

One factor in favor of happiness for the couple is that they enjoy a similar emotional orientation to life, as evidenced by their shared Karkata-Chandra. (Cruise's first wife Mimi Rodgers also enjoyed the Karkata-Chandra, but without Holmes' greatly expansive yuti Guru-Karkata in lagna.)

Gochara Rahu-Ketu:

transiting Kumbha-Simha

crossing groom'snavamsha Shukra (Kumbha)

(Cruise) Birth of ChildrenChild-1 = 22-Dec-1992

Ketu/Rahu period

Ketu gives effect of L-5(children) Shani

Rahu gives effects of L-1Shukra and parent-karaka Chandra - L-1 ruling social identity; is a child-trigger for men

Rahu signifies unusual circumstances, public actions

Rahu's power in Cruise's nativity is much increased due to Rahu's position in navamsha lagna

Ketu/Shani period

Ketu gives effect of L-5Shani

Shani = L-5

Shukra/Rahu period

Shukra = Lord of Lagna

Rahu gives effects of L-1Shukra and parent-karaka Chandra - L-1 ruling social identity is a child-trigger for men

(Holmes) Birth of Children
Shukra/Guru

Guru = putrakaraka . Guru periods = empowered to produce children largely without regard to Guru's bhava or other traits of Brihaspati

Guru = the all-good L-9, uchchamsha in lagna + swakshetra Chandra

extraordinarily auspicious for birth of a fortunate child

can bring health complications due to Guru = L-6, and marital disagreement of L-6

Katie Holmes career:
According to Phaladeepika, if Guru is lord of 10th navamsha, the career should be in Guru-ruled areas, such as:

"with the help of Brahmins, deities or through state favor, recitation of Puranas, studying Shastras, preaching or giving religious instructions, or handling money." ~~ Ch. 5, shloka 6

Tom Cruise social-political ascendancy:

Rahu in bhava-10 = dramatic rise to leadership roles, under taboo-breaking, illicit, or culturally irregular (Rahu) circumstances. (Coolidge was a Washington outsider)

Often a glass-ceiling crasher, able to break gender-race-age barriers in conservative professional roles.

May challenge conventional standards in the style of ascendancy to the high ranking position.

Rahu swabhukti is especially intense, exposing the native 's life to the public eye.

Diverse responsibilities, executive empowerment involving contact with outsider, foreign elements, world governments.

Best results in Vrishabha (uchcha, wealth) and Kumbha (own sign, widely distributed networks) but all rashi will yield publicity and leadership power. Rahu gives best results in 3, 6, 10 and 11.

B. V. Raman,Three Hundred Important Combinations:
11. Vanchana Chora Bheethi Yoga [Tom Cruise]

Definition.

The Lagna is occupied by a malefic with Gulika in a trine

or Gulika is associated with the lords of Kendras and Thrikonas

or the Lord of Lagnais combined with Rahu , Saturn or Kethu.

Results.
Tthe nativewill always entertain feelings suspicion towards others around him. He is afraid of being cheated, swindled and robbed.
Here three sets of combinations can apply:

ascendant must have an evil planet with Gulika disposed in the 5th or 9th.

Gulika should be associated with the lords of 1, 4, 7, 10, 5 and 9.

Lord of Lagna should join Rahu or Saturn or Kethu.

In all these cases, the person will not only have fears from cheats, rogues and thievesbut he will also have huge material losses.

The combinations pertaining to this Yoga are found in almost all horoscopes, so that we are all guilty of cheating and being cheated one another in some form or the other.

It is a tragedy of our social life that a merchant minting millions at the cost of the poor is left scot-free while the poor, committing theft in the face of poverty and want, are booked by law.

Cheating is practiced in a variety of ways.

Fertile brains find countless methods to cheat their associates. The merchants have various ways of cheating their clients. The lawyer is equally successful. The medical man commands many ways to defraud his patients.

Gulika is considered the son of Saturn and his position is to be carefully fixed in the Zodiac.
The Yoga given above refers to persons who will be the victims of fraud but the same combination can also be extended to apply to those who perpetrate the deeds.

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