A Jyotisha inquiry into the Circumstances of Death by Murder
Birendra was a well-loved king in Nepal. The most devoted of his Hindu subjects saw him as a manifestation of Shri Vishnu. Even those who disliked the monarchy were able to admire Birendra as a responsible & diplomatic leader
According to Wikipedia: "He and most of his family (including Queen Aiswarya) were massacred at a royal dinner on 1 June 2001. It is still unclear that who is behind the royal killings... Nepalese people believe that Gyanendra is the main suspected mastermind behind the royal palace massacre...
However, according to published reports, his eldest son and heir, Dipendra (photo right), was apparently the gunman, but he himself died a few days later of gunshot wounds suffered during the massacre. "
Birendra's younger brother, Gyanendra, (photo left) became king after the murders, totaling 12 deaths. Unlike cosmopolitan Birendra, the younger Gyanendra has an aggressive, militaristic style, and is intensely disliked.
Degree on the Navamsha Lagna = 29 Karkata (Cancer).
According to M.C. Jain in The Stars and your Future (p 53), 29 Karkata = the "Degree of Obstruction":
"Denotes one liable to be bound hands, soul and body, who will be restricted in action and desire. But even so he may yet release his true self and meet the force flowing from the fountain head.
Thus, though one side may frown and obstruct him, the other will smile and release him.
If afflicted, the native is subject to danger from secret enemies and jealous foes, in peril of an untimely end.
This degree also rules over botany, geology, wild life, and collecting."
Timing of Death: 01-June-2001, in the Royal Palace, at Kathmandu
Budha/Budha/Surya/Shukra period
gochara Rahu-Ketu at 13 degrees of Mithuna/Dhanau
gochara Ketu contacts radix Surya exactly
Birendra's radix Surya, karaka for Kingship = 13 deg Dhanau
Dwadamsha for 13 deg of domain-10 =
"Residential plot & living home, Palatial dwellings" (Birendra was killed in the Royal Palace.)
L7 Budha
Budha = L-7 radix, a maraka graha
First bhukti of any mahadasha is 'double strength'
Birendra had entered the double-strength period of maraka L-7
Note the extraordinary strength of maraka L7 Budha in Saptamsha lagna, the divisional chart for one's children.
Rahu-Ketu:
"nodal opposition" - gochara Rahu-Ketu had returned to their natal axis
this is always a significant event
natal Rahu-Ketu engages Shani, Shukra, & Surya
gochara nodes activate:
L-6 Surya
L-3/L-8 Shukra
L-11/L-12 Shani
I, myself, was never certain about this heinous crime.
Young Dipendra was of course an alcoholic boor, well known in Kathmandu for his spoiled aggressive immature behavior in discothèques and on the street.
Yet, Gyanendra's jealous resentment toward his brother Birendra's kingly privilege was also well known.
If there is such a thing as 'national karma', the national karma of Nepal is definitely jealousy.
"Investigations" in Nepal are prone to serious corruption. So is there any real evidence one way or the other? Perhaps Jyotisha can offer some insights.
One approach is to examine Birendra's radix domain-8 for 'conditions of death'. Agents and environments of the native's death should occur here.
L-3/L-8 Shukra:
Shukra = younger brother = Lord of Trimshamsha (D-30 for misfortunes)
L-3/L-8 Shukra is a major papa-graha, being also lord of D-30, and combust. Combust graha are troublemakers!
The younger brother is not proven to be the cause of death, but he is implicated
L-2/L-9 Kuja:
The eldest son is certainly a person with many social-emotional problems, judging by the neechha Kuja in domain-5.
L-2/L-9 in domain-5 gives Birendra lots of wealth and religious status, but it's largely ruined by the neechha Kuja.
The eldest son is deranged enough to be violent, given L-5 Chandra in domain-8. In fact, this item - the L-5 in domain-8 - shows the eldest child as a violently deranged perpetrator agent in the native's death.
Lord of 'loss of career" through the agency of L-9 = maraka Kuja, representing the eldest son.
Shukra & Ketu
Does the younger brother want the older brother's job? Yes indeed - see L-3/L-8 Shukra, combust, in native's domain-10 for job.
Shukra positions at 5 deg of Dhanau, while Ketu rests at 7 deg. Ketu is heading toward Shukra. The younger brother is prevented, like Ketu, from connecting with his 'head' Rahu. Ketu's role is to 'maintain disconnection'.
Is Shukra a killer though? No. Not directly. Shukra is a schemer and pretender to the throne, a poseur and eventually a false monarch.
Why false? Because Ketu & Shukra's combustion destroy Shukra's connection with ethical kingship, which is Surya.
Even as L-6 (which bring much animosity, poverty, & illness into the King's leadership portfolio) Surya Dhanau has a great deal of dignity in radix-10.
Jyotisha Conclusion:
It looks to me Jyotisha-wise as if the killer really was Dipendra. He was a loose cannon with tremendous social & emotional problems, exacerbated by his Father's position (Chandra with Guru).
When Birendra entered the double-intensity period of maraka L7 Budha, the strength of Budha from Saptamsha lagna kicked in, and the personality (lagna) his son Dipendra dominated everything.
Gyanendra is a false king and a scheming opportunist, but he is probably not a murderer.
Shukra gives a desire for something which cannot be had in this life for Gyanendra, which is ethical kingship. Birendra's own kingship was definitely marred by Shukra's sensual entitlements, disconnection from the people, and the whole cult of popular religion toward the king (Dhanau, messed up by Ketu/Shani.) But Birendra had a sincere love of his tradition, lands & people - see Surya rising in Karkata navamsha. Gyanendra, represented in Birendra's radix as L-3/L-8, is only an agent of destructive change.
King Birendraji:
Shukra is the dominant graha in the D-1/D-9 nativity
The Seven rashi-owning graha
Extra credit for being D-1 or D-9:
- lagnesha
- lord of Chandra
# of planets in His rashi, in radix (including Rahu/Ketu)
# of graha in His rashi, in navamsha (including Rahu/Ketu)
