Compare to similar nativities: Mesha lagna Krittika radical lagna Chandra-Simha Purvaphalguni Chandra Shukra in Vrishabha Ketu in bhava-3  = Rahu in bhava-9 Ambivalence (Ketu) toward publications, scripted repetitive daily talk, writing, and team-communications Desire for recognition (Rahu) as a father-figure, global traveler, scholar-professor of important wisdom, or religious preacher. The father is an extraordinary, taboo-breaking, internationalized person
Das-Behari says of Mesha-Mangala in 1	"One of the most harmonious of placements. Mesha and Mangala radiate similar impulses which greatly enhance the possibility that you will express your best in the world and carve a niche for yourself in society. You may have a strong constriction and a courageous disposition with an urge for exploration, research and the establishment of a new social order -- but you seldom live to an advanced age., You will be known for your leadership and will be honored and respected by the state. You become a wealthy wanderer; moving from land to land, and are bound to leave an imprint on society.
Das-Behari says of Mesha-Budha in 1	Your health may be poor during the early years. You will eat sparingly, relishing vegetables and hot meals. You may have educational difficulties. Your upbringing lacks sophistication and culture. You may at worst become a thief, gambler, or liar, with an equally immoral spouse with a crooked mind. You may very likely be an atheist.

Prominent Graha in the Nativity:

Ketu in bhava-3  = Rahu in bhava-9

• Ambivalence (Ketu) toward publications, scripted repetitive daily talk, writing, and team-communications

• Desire for recognition (Rahu) as a father-figure, global traveler, scholar-professor of important wisdom, or religious preacher

• Atmakaraka Budha = writing and speech-making.

  • JFK's senior Harvard-college thesis about the Munich agreement was published as the bestseller "Why England Slept" in 1940 when he was 24 years old, in the year when he graduated from college.

  • JFK's book "Profiles in Courage" won a Pulitzer Prize for journalistic literature, and provided much of his early dignity and reputation. The book is believed to have been written by Kennedy's professional speechwriter (Ted Sorenson) whose own autobiography confirmed that belief; nevertheless at the time of publication, the public fully accepted the book as Kennedy's personal writing and proof of his intellectual acumen. JFK desired to be known as a scholar (Rahu-9) and L-3 Budha in lagna shows JFK's powerful identity as a writer. Yet Ketu in 3 = JFK's ambivalence about passing off his aide's writing as his own.

  • Ketu in 3 would also represent his elder brother Joe from whom much was expected, yet who was killed in WW-2

• Mula Nakshatra in lagna = takes on too much in a spirit of ill-considered confidence

• JFK's career was "mixed up" due to the dangerous mixing between the two enemies Surya (ethical principle) + combust Shukra (sensual pleasure).

  • The unfavorable mix is seen in parivartamsha in navamsha between Shukra and Surya.

  • His propensity for beautiful actresses was well known to JFK's colleagues but not to the general electorate for whom (in those days) the behavior of public figures was sanitized.

• karakamsha = bhava-9 = world travel (he visited many lands), university history, wanted to be known as an inspirational preacher and truly global guide for a new civilization (Dhanushya)

Who were JFK's enemies?

• L-6 from Mesha lagna = Budha in bhava-1
  • His enemies were very close to him: siblings (3) and servants (6). They operated in secret (L-8 Mangala + Budha).

  • Find Shani in 12th from Chandra = sanctuary, enclosed meeting areas, privacy, bedrooms, distant lands, the subconscious, the ancestors. One often is unaware of the behavior of agents in the 12th-from Chandra, as this terrain = dreams, unconscious, clairsentient. The enemies are local governors (4) of the country concerned with oceans, undersea drilling, and maintaining legal power in the homeland. Economic and "security" dealings in a private home(4).
• L-6 from Surya = political enemies = Shukra in 2 in sensual Vrishabha = Lord of the 6th from Surya = yuti Surya. hidden, sensual females and hidden money-hoarders, wealthy behind-the-scenes players involved with alcohol (Shukra) music and sensual pleasures; land wealth (Vrishabha) and cattle
