Males Radix Lagna in Shani-ruled

• Anuradha :

• Satya Sai Baba (Puttaparthy)

Males

• Chandra in Anuradha

• (read from Chandra lagna after age 50)

• M. Reza Pahlavi, Shah of Iran

• Henry VIII Tudor of England

• Baba Ram Dass

Barbara's viewpoint on Anuradha:

the immovable object (Shani) + the irresistible force (Kuja)

• Naturally, the portion of Mangala-ruled Vrischika which is controlled by Shani is a difficult area, full of oppression and delay

  Nevertheless, Anuradha folk are successful in life - so long as they develop a capacity to work with ambitious, often primitive personalities (Kuja) yet within an orderly (Shani) and usually government-influenced or institutional context.

  A good example of spiritual excellence with this neechcha Chandra location = Chandra in Anuradha = Mrs. Melinda French Gates, wife of philanthropist Bill Gates, who works tirelessly on behalf of children in war-torn settings dominated by aggressive (Mangala) and generally rather primitive-minded males (Kuja) to provide institutional structures (Shani) such as schools and medical delivery systems (Shani) that can support the weak ones against the strong ones (Shani vs. Kuja). Naturally this is a delicate business involving constant repositioning so that the immovable object (Shani) is not destroyed by the irresistible force (Kuja)

  M. Reza Pahlavi, Shah of Iran was eventually brought down by tribal-male (Kuja) backlash to his government policies (Shani)

  Anuradha's purpose is To restore order, after there has been a shock or a threat.

  • Anuradha is the nourishing, quieting rain which follow the thunder and lightening of a big atmospheric storm.

  • Anuradha natives are welcomed as master craftsmenof the deal.

  • After the terrible shock of Vishaka, Anuradha are calming agents of peace and makers of treaties.

• Under the auspices of Mithra, Anuradha is known for "friendliness".

  • Yet "friendliness" is often just a presenting attitude, adopted to ease the approach into a difficult discussion.

  • Anuradha's mind is not friendly in the cheerful, light-hearted sense.

  • Rather Anuradha is friendly in the serious, goal-oriented sense of being committed to a business relationship.

• Mithra's goal is to achieve an alliance; reaching this goal may require bitter compromise (Shani).

  • Varuna rules the dark half of the sky; ruling "dark skies" Varuna is also a god of Rain.

  • On Varuna's side, there is darkness - a dark churning ocean, a dark threatening sky.

  • During the discussion itself, there are many fears to articulate, many grievances to air.

  • Will the parties to the agreement be tricked in the dark, and a new threat arise? Will the rain become a catastrophic deluge?

• Despite Anuradha's reputation for Amiability and loyalty, the native is not always Mr./Ms. Nice Guy.

  • Mithra needs to "hammer out an agreement" and Anuradha will try every possible method to achieve the goal.

  • Naturally, his process may be frustrating and exhausting - at rare moments, indeed, impossible.

• Tanu radha can be a gloriousdeal-maker,often found in diplomacy, law,international finance and trade.

• In public life, Anuradha is guided by Shani's cold realism, and Kuja's competitive thrust .

  • Material, political results of Anuradha's world-class alliance-crafting skill are often excellent.

• In private life, Anuradha's compulsion to "reach agreement" and "craft a treaty" can lead to chronic, restless negotiatingwhich reveals an underlying lack of trust in the motives of the Other.

  • Anuradha may suffer a restless anxiety about about the inherent instability of human agreements. Anuradha may need to forge new lawful agreements day after day, month after month. Naturally, an excellent position for the most challenging work in labor arbitration, hostage negotiation, and other aggressive, dangerous craftwork in Forced Agreements.

  • After all, Anuradha is tasked to craft agreement not with the sweet sensuality of Shukra, but with blood-letting sharpness of Mangala's spearand the cold punishing force of Shani's Law.

  • The Anuradha native has many virtues in love and in work, but a settled ease of partnership is not one Anuradha's strong suit.

  • Anuradha is gifted in making contracts - not in sustaining them.

• Anuradha is skillful at balancing conflicting goals, but ever suspicious. Loyalty is achieved through contractual obligation - not love.
