Politics 17   Franklin Delano Roosevelt - FDR 1882-1945 32nd president of USA, 1933-1945 48th Governor of New York State preceded by Herbert Hoover;  succeeded by Harry Truman Rising Degree of the Navamsha Lagna = 19 Makara (Capricorn). According to M.C. Jain in The Stars and your Future, (p 131) 19 Makara = the "Degree of Holding": "Denotes of a vigorous and determined nature and great stubbornness of character, to holds strongly to pronounced opinions and ideas. If he is thrown into political life he becomes a statesman whose firmness will be appreciated by his friends and regretted by his enemies." Dominant house lords: Franklin Delano Roosevelt The  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) Total Sun - Moon  0 0 1 1 Mars  0 3 4 7 Mercury 2 2 1 5 Jupiter   0 0 0 0 Venus 0 1 2 3 Saturn  2 3 1 6 totals 4 9 9 22 Dominant lords of Career lagnas: : Franklin Delano Roosevelt 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 Kuja 2 Lord of the Dashamsha of Radix L-10 - see how He behaves in radix Guru 3 Lord of 10th Navamsha  - see how He behaves in radix Shukra 4 Lord of 10th Dashamsha - see how He behaves in radix Guru 5 Lord of Dashamsha lagna (ascendant) Budha Secondary career lagnas  6 Lord of radix Karmaa Bhava Budha 7 Grahas which occupy Karmaa Bhava Kuja, Chandra 8 Lord of Yuvati bhava (10th-from-10th) Guru 9 Lord of 10th-from-Chandra Guru 10 Lord of Surya Shani Kanya lagna Leaders: Compare to John F. Kennedy Bill Clinton Tony Blair Harry Truman Winston Churchill Timeline of accomplishments in government service:   Overall, this is a fairly tough nativity. Hard work and very little respite. Rahu is powerful. Marriage is clearly difficult -  L7 Guru in domain-8 yuti L5/L6 Shani - wife is very fertile, but not conducive to harmonious marriage.  However L7-Guru plays a number of important career roles, suggesting that while interpersonal affection may have been hard to achieve, career support from the spouse was abundant Shani rules the D-9, and debilitated Shani occupies domain-8 - suggesting that the spiritual path is heavily karmic.   This native worked EXTREMELY hard on a HUGE project of rescuing a country and then the world from disaster.   He used every iota of his physical strength to do it. He accepted FOUR elections to the US presidency in order to fulfill the needs & wishes of the people (Shani). The evil double malefic L3/L8 Kuja has enormous impact in the radix & navamsha, is the karaka for military, war and deadly competition - daily confrontation with the circumstances of death, personal and global, during his entire career. He died exhausted - but his massive responsibilities were fulfilled. Vimshottari Dasha Narrative: L4/L7 - Guru Mahadasha, age 8-24   Marriage =  Guru/Rahu period, where Rahu is a marriage-maker gochara Rahu/Ketu in Simha/Kumbha, crossing navamsha Moon Rahu gives effect of L8/L3 Kuja - a double malefic (note )   L5/L6 - Shani Mahadasha, age 24-43   Shani =  L5 karaka for politics & children L6 for conflict, illness, debt lord of navamsha, for marriage role lord of Navamsha, which shows the Spiritual Path lord of 10th Dashamsha, for leadership & public responsibility 1906-1916, Six children born, five survive mahadasha of L5-Shani yuti Guru 1910, Elected NY State Senator Shani/Budha period  Budha = lagnesha & L10 for career Budha = lord of Chandra/Mangala yoga in karma sthana, which is highly auspicious for communications in public service Kuja also aspects Chandra in navamsha & dashamsha! Budha occupies gainful 11th-from-mahadasha pati Budha occupies 9th-from-Moon Budha is lord of 5th dashamsha, a small but good career indicator 1913, Appointed Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Navy Shani/Shukra period  Shukra = lord of dashamsha Shukra = L9 radix Shukra = 10th-from-mahadasha-pati Shani, receiving drishti of Shani 1920, Lost bid for Vice-President nomination Shani/Rahu period Rahu gives effect of L8/L3 Kuja - a double malefic Kuja receives the oppressive 3rd-drishti from Shani Rahu occupies 8th-from-Shani, i.e. 8th-from-8th  1921, Paralysis after infection (suspected Guillain-Barré syndrome) Shani/Rahu period Rahu gives effect of L8/L3 Kuja - a double malefic Rahu occupies 8th-from-Shani, i.e. 8th-from-8th  Kuja receives the oppressive 3rd-drishti from enemy Shani Although the conditions of death are set in this period, Shani will give a much longer life than would be expected due to Shani's stamina & discipline Temporary (7 years) withdrawal from public life Rahu occupies Vrischika in D-1, D-9, and D-10 - a rashi in which Rahu is especially pernicious   L1/L10 - Budha Mahadasha, age 43-60   Despite the facts that: L1/L10 is a powerful career lord for FDR L1/L10 Budha mahadasha occurs in the ideal age range for political ascendancy,  Budha in domain-6 in a rashi of Shani is very much associated with poverty, conflict, & disease. In fact, the unique circumstances of FDR's leadership era seem to require someone with just such a sensitivity to vicious exploitation & deadly human conflict ... to handle the serial catastrophes of Prohibition, Bank Collapse, Depression and World War. It is quite amazing that FDR was Asst.    Secretary of the Navy under Shukra (lord of D-10) before he entered the higher political positions under Budha (radix L10).  When WWII came around he was prepared to manage a huge global military effort and against all odds, due to his remarkable and eccentric political career path, his efforts succeeded.    1928, 1930, Elected Governor of NY State Budha/Shukra period Shukra = lord of dashamsha 2/12 angle Budha-to-Shukra is not auspicious (corrupt elections) Navamsha Shukra gives results of L9 Shukra, generally good fortune Dashamsha Shukra gives results of L5/L6 Shani - good for political fortune, bad for crime & corruption D-10 Shukra = overall good for career because Shani is ultimately lord of D-9 (which shows the spiritual path) & also Shani =10th dashamsha 1932, Elected USA President (1st term) Budha/Chandra period Budha is Chandra's lord Auspicious 5/9 angle Budha-to-Chandra Chandra in spectacular Chandra-Mangala yoga in domain-10 for career - hugely energized during Budha mahadasha Navamsha Budha gives results of L5/L6 Shani - both fortune and conflict/illness Dashamsha Budha gives results of L4/L7 Guru, a career karaka for both the native & his spouse 1936, Elected USA President (2nd term) Budha/Rahu period Auspicious 4/10 career angle Budha-to-Rahu Rahu gives the effect of Kuja, which continues to energize the spectacular Chandra-Mangala yoga in domain-10 for career - hugely emphasized during Budha mahadasha 1940, Elected USA President (3rd term) Budha/Shani  period Shani L5/L6, fortunate political speculation but intensive physical pain from L6 Gainful 3/11 angle Budha-to-Shani He is getting tired, has massive responsibilities for global circumstances of death Ketu Mahadasha, age 60-67   1944, Elected USA President (4th term) Ketu/Kuja period Ketu is a super-charged career graha because he occupies the dashamsha lagna sui generis, Ketu in the D-10 lagna would suggest a lackluster or detached career in FDR's case it is an utterly remarkable career, greatly promoted by a healthy L2/L9 Shukra (for wealth, & lord of D10) in radix domain-5, house of good fortune & politics.  Nevertheless Ketu is a spiritual, meditation graha.  He is detaching. Death - April 12, 1945 Ketu/Rahu period Rahu is a tremendous malefic FDR was saturated with death & destruction Ketu/Rahu -or- Rahu/Ketu period will flip the native into a new identity, often by crossing into the astral plane Adolph Hitler committed suicide on 30-Apr-1945.
