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 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.)

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
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.
V-E day on 08-May-1945
