Politics 11   Indira Priyadarshini Nehru Gandhi 1917-1984 Prime Minister of India Degree on the Navamsha Lagna = 08 Meena (Pisces).    According to M.C. Jain in The Stars and your Future (p 156), 08 Meena = the "Degree of Responsibilities": "Denotes one who is destined to have power over others and who may be forced by circumstances to obey the will of stronger forces.  Necessity may compel him to barter his dearest possession for external advantage but those to whom he barters prize it.  His is a peculiar life of importance, but not one of absolute free will." Dominant lords ranked by number of tenants  L-1/L-2 Sun-Moon and L-7/L-8 Shani predominate for Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi The Seven rashi-owning graha Extra credit for being D-1 or D-9:  - lagnesha - lord of Chandra -Lord of Arudha lagna # of planets in His rashi, in radix (including Rahu/Ketu) # of graha in His rashi, in navamsha (including Rahu/Ketu) Total Sun - Moon  1 2 3 6 Mars  1 2 0 3 Mercury 0 1 0 1 Jupiter   0 2 0 2 Venus 0 1 3 4 Saturn  3 1 3 7 totals 5 9 9 23 Career profile: Indira Gandhi This weighting includes dashamsha.  Grahas which play a dominant role in the personality AND also own key lagnas in the D-1, D-9, and D-10 will strengthen and direct the career.   (If the strong personality grahas do not show up in the career lagnas, the career will be modest.) Primary career lagnas 1 Lord of the Navamsha of Radix L-10 - see how He behaves in radix Surya 2 Lord of the Dashamsha of Radix L-10 - see how He behaves in radix Shani  3 Lord of 10th Navamsha  - see how He behaves in radix Kuja 4 Lord of 10th Dashamsha - see how He behaves in radix Surya 5 Lord of Dashamsha lagna (ascendant) Kuja Secondary career lagnas  6 Lord of radix Karmaa Bhava Kuja 7 Grahas which occupy Karmaa Bhava   8 Lord of Yuvati bhava (10th-from-10th) Shani 9 Lord of 10th-from-Chandra Shukra 10 Lord of Surya Kuja Karkata lagna leaders: Compare to: G.W. Bush (Shani in Karka Lagna) Al Gore Jr. (Shani in Karka Lagna) Prime Minister of India - Key Dates marriage 23-Mar-1942 childbirth 20-Aug-1944; 14-Dec-1946 P.M. = 19-Jan-1966 to 22-Mar-1977 P.M. = 07-Jan-1980 to 31-Oct-1984 assassinated 31-Oct-1984 (kharesha Shani = in lagna) Fame Indira Gandhi remains a highly controversial figure in Indian politics.  She was accused of  massive financial corruption, violent suppression of minorities, & shocking bureaucratic incompetence.   She was loved by many within the great masses of ostracized, impoverished, illiterate, underemployed, and disenfranchised peoples of India.  She was hated by abundant political adversaries, established wealth, conservative financial interests, minority independence movements, and those who deeply resented her imposition of martial law.  Arudha lagna = Thula = domain-4 10th-from-Arudha lagna = fame = Karkata, domain-1 = physical body & social identity Shani-Karkata-Ashlesha  = (Behari) "May be poor, miserable, bereft of good family relations and troubled in career. Suffers from nervous exhaustion, and may lose the teeth early. There is a possibility you may develop spiritual interests." Lord of the domain-1 = Chandra/Makara = "You are vulnerable to manipulation by the opposite sex, for you are easily controlled by those whom you desire." Indira Gandhi's  worldwide legacy appears to be on the whole favorable, but the controversies which arose during her fifteen years as India's first female prime minister are still being debated. Certainly the fact of her female body (Chandra) did strongly shape public opinion, as well as Shani being the mysterious 8th lord in Ashlesha.  The less educated classes had a sort of tantric or death-goddess impression of her, while the educated classes debated her emotional vulnerability to aggressive political & financial interests in extremely turbulent times.  Her primary legacy is probably the "law and order" signification of Shani-Karkata. Birth time: Widely reported birth time = 23:11 or 23:12 on 19-Nov-1917. I have rectified the birth time to 23:07:30 hrs, to achieve proper alignment for the timing & character of marriage. The rectification results in a navamsha lagna of Kumbha, so that lord of navamsha (karaka of destiny) becomes L-7/L-8 Shani in lagna. Prominent Graha:  Ashlesha lagna: Indira Gandhi's radix lagna = the notoriously entangled Ashlesha nakshatra., ruled by Budha.  Shani is extraordinarily powerful, as is Surya Shani in lagna = highly influential = lord of  navamsha,  navamsha Chandra,  radix lagnesha Chandra Shani and Surya, an adversarial partnership, dominate the Self and career Shani and Surya are fierce natural enemies Shani is empowered to enact physical death: natural maraka temporal maraka = L-7 kharesha = lord of the 22nd decanate (= 6-16 deg Kumbha). Kharesha in lagna: One of the most striking features of this extraordinary nativity is the fact that the kharesha occupies lagna.  This feature signifies a shocking, often violent, sudden death.  The cause of  death may be attack from inside (suicide) or outside (assassination) but the circumstances are always "unnatural". Kuja In any Karkata lagna nativity, yogakaraka Kuja is a highly influential graha. Although not strong as a 'landlord' ruling tenant grahas, yogakaraka Kuja rules many career lagnas. parivartana yoga between Surya and Kuja is tremendously strengthening for high-conflict, high-stakes, revolutionary politics Rahu: All periods of Rahu in domain-6 give danger from foreign enemies, and danger from taboo-breaking in matters of religion (Dhanau).  Rahu yuti L-4/L-11 Shukra and ruled by Guru: enemies tend to be tall, gracious, friendly and attractive. Enemies masquerading as friends 11 and countrymen 4. Rahu in domain-6, in the unfavorable 6/8 angle from Lord Guru, creates lifelong interaction with war and social conflict; the criminal element; the underclass; cheating graft and greed; those unable to achieve agreement with the social order; and (yuti L-4) stress of ethnic taboo-breaking in one's homeland Vimshottari dasha narrative: Mahadasha of Lagnesha Chandra in domain-7:  1919-1929 = childhood, age 1-11 attention to personal discipline, service to others, constant awareness of secrets & hidden influences for a child, this would be a lonely, Shani-duty dominated period frequently everyone in her household was under arrest, and she was the only person free Chandra/Budha through Chandra/Shukra periods: mother in Swiss convalescence, Indira in Swiss boarding school Budha = L-12 for long foreign sojourns or imprisonment Budha occupies gainful 11th-from-mahadasha-pati Chandra, so this educational experience while alienating  would also have shaped her mind in a positive way Note Budha as L-3/L-12 will cause Indira worse imprisonments later during Rahu/Budha period, because Budha occupies the highly unfavorable 12th-from-Rahu Mahadasha of L-5/L-10 Mangala in domain-2 1929-1936 = childhood, age 11-18 attention to development of creative intelligence, political savvy, and leadership capabilities living in the home of an internationally famous, controversial politician father danger of Kuja-related violence is always present Mangala/Chandra period: death of mother, from tuberculosis, Indira = age 18 Chandra = lord of 7th-from-Soma = death of mother gochara nodes create first, traumatic 'Rahu Return" - Rahu-Ketu crossing Dhanau/Mithuna Mahadasha of Rahu in domain-6, yuti Shukra, Lord = Guru age 18-36 Rahu amplifies the effects of L-4/L-11 Shukra for beauty, humanism, patriotism, and popularity in the assembly Rahu also amplifies the effects of L-6/L-9 Guru. L-6 gives animosity, disregarding the law, and health imbalance. L-9 gives religious sensibilities, philosophical viewpoint, blessings, collegial discussions, beneficial journeys, and wisdom.  Rahu in domain-6 has some negative implications such as lifelong association with criminal element and the underclass.  Domain-6 also represents a loss of balance & agreement with the spouse. Indeed an extended spousal separation occurred during most of the marriage under Rahu and Guru (Rahu's lord) mahadashas. Rahu/Shani/Shani period: 23-Mar-1942: controversial love marriage to Parsi journalist Feroze Gandhi  gochara Rahu/Ketu in Simha/Kumbha Shani = lord of navamsha Rahu/Shani/Budha period: 11-Sep-1942: first arrest & 8-months imprisonment Budha = L-12 for imprisonment, and Budha occupies 12th-from-mahadasha-pati Rahu Rahu/Shani/Guru period: 20-Aug-1944, birth of first child Ranjiv Gandhi Rahu gives fertility through effect of Guru; Shani gives difficult childbirth (L-8), duty & restriction Shani = lord of Chandra Chandra = lord of saptamsha (the special varga that articulates the role of children in one's life) As lord of Chandra, Shani brings motherhood with heavy time-management responsibilities domain-5 representing child-1 is owned and aspected by a fiery Mars, suggesting high energy and rational, political, intellectual emphasis in the native's relationship with her first child parivartana between Surya and Kuja is highly favorable for political success, both the native and also for her eldest child Rahu/Budha period: second child, Sanjay because Chandra occupies domain-7 representing the second child, this nativity suggests a strong tendency to favor the second child on an emotional level. In fact, the native's core emotional identity is lodged, for better or for worse, with the marriage partner and the second child. The marriage partner being rather selfish and highly career oriented (see Simha graha in the 7th navamsha), the 2nd child is a preferred locale of emotional identity and investment. Mahadasha of L-6/L-9 Guru in domain-11: age 36-52 Guru/Shani period: 1959, becomes president of Indian National Congress beginning of heavy personal and national responsibilities, per Shani Guru/Budha period: 08-Sep-1960, death of spouse Budha = lord of 8th navamsha, trigger for death of spouse Mahadasha of L-7/L-8 Shani  age 52-66 Shani is a natural maraka, a temporal maraka as L-7  Shani/Budha: 26-June-1975 declared State of Emergency. Altho occupying a favorable 5/9 angle from the mahadasha pati, Budha is itself the inauspicious L-3/L-12 which leads to a loss of residence/homeland, and a loss of identity. Shani/Ketu: 22-Mar-1997, voted out of office due largely to public fear of dictatorship following the consequences of Ketu in domain-12 giving loss of identity, Gandhi is out of work and literally homeless during Ketu period Shani/Shukra: 23-June-1980, death of second son Sanjay in self-piloted airplane crash, New Delhi Shukra yuti Rahu occupies domain-6 at 6/8 angle from mahadasha pati Shani = tragic accidental death of child gochara Rahu/Ketu in Karkata/Makara, contacting the Chandra-Shani lagna. A great tragedy of motherhood. Extreme attachment to the second child = lagnesha Chandra in domain-7. Shani/Rahu: after invasion of Golden Temple in Amritsar, assassination by her Sikh bodyguards, 31-Oct-1984, age 66 conditions of death suggested by domain-8 characteristics include gunshot (Kuja drishti to domain-8) and death by enemies, Shani 6th-from-domain-8. Rahu gives tall foreign enemies, attractively dressed as homeland friends.
