Rising Degree of the Navamsha Lagna = 09 Vrischika (Scorpio) = Service to Others
Public Illusion For a highly placed public figure in the modern age, whose effectiveness is determined less by their true character and actions and more the public's perception of their character and actions, the career should be read first and foremost from Arudha lagna.
Attitude toward Marriage Vrischika = navamsha lagna = marriage is a deeply confidential, almost secret relationship between the two partners. The native's behavior in marriage = Kuja/Simha/2. The native is ethical in marriage and powerfully directed by the royal identity of his family of origin. Shukra and Shani are exceptionally strong in lagna; and Shani does very well in Pushya nakshatra esp in a kendra. The determining factor in G.W. Bush's ability to remain abstinent from alcohol is reputed to be his steady and sober wife Laura Bush.
Both Shani and Shukra gain great power during Bush's Shani mahadasha. Furthermore when the L-7 occupies lagna, the native will always derive a strong social identity from the marriage partner. She is his rock, quite literally. Prominent Features of the Nativity
Behari says: "Your mind will remain an enigma to the world and your personality can only be gauged by what you accomplish. You will have no friends to call your own, and your life will be very austere. Your movements will also be very restricted." Shani in Pushya Lagna:
[Shukra in lagna] "A benefic in Lagna will give a pleasing appearance, while a malefic will make one bereft of good appearance. " ~~ BPHS Chapter 12, shloka 4 Prominent features of the nativity: G.W.'s chart is a classic study of successful political career:
Kala Sarpa Yoga Public-service marker Kala-Sarpa yoga requires one to sacrifice one's own personal tastes in order to respond to the wishes of the tribe, the family, the village, or the polity. Compare to other famous Kala-Sarpa leaders.
Compare to other Karkata lagna leaders:
Pushya nakshatra lagna:
Kala-Sarpa & Rahu Compare the Kala-sarpa Rahu position of Benito Mussolini, who was beholden to the aesthetes & ideologues in his political party (Thula) but dominantly beholden to himself. Compare the Kala-sarpa Rahu position of Margaret Thatcher who similar to G. W. has Rahu/11 showing she is most beholden to established wealth, especially in her case marine interests like shipping & oil drilling. Compare Mussolini to Fidel Castro for similar effect of Rahu in lagna (but not kala-sarpa yoga) giving the cult of personality. Castro & Mussolini not only symbolizing 'eternal revolution' (Rahu) through the icon of themselves, but also personally accruing much of the gross national product :) Like Al Gore, his opponent in the bitter 2000 USA Presidential election, G. W. Bush has a strong and complex personality. Lords of 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, & 12 occupy the lagna! And look at the heavy traffic around that Moon in navamsha! (Chandra with Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, and Rahu in Leo navamsha.) He needs a national stage to act out his personal drama. Other good news is that G.W. is in no danger of being assassinated while USA president. His vimshottari dasha for 2001-2008 excludes bhukti of either 2nd or 7th lords, and unlike other public figures who are in the line of fire, there is no rising kharesha (cf. Indira Gandhi). D-10 - Dashamsha = remarkably powerful. The dashamsha confirms & elaborates features already present in radix & navamsha charts. Radix lagnesha Chandra has become a very highly empowered graha via parivartana yoga with Budha. When good things happen to Chandra, good things also happen to Chandra's rashi. Any of G.W.'s vargas in which Karka is rising will do well because of the blessings attending to Chandra in radix.
It is probably true that GW Bush is ambivalent about his extraordinary power as a world leader. He is a man of the people (Shani in lagna); not a natural elitist like his Magha father GHW Bush. Yet the karakamsha = dharma bhava; #43 was born into a priestly lineage, and he had a destiny to fulfill. It is well-known that the foundation for GW's success is the ancestral power and position of his wealthy father and grandfather (Guru = L-9 in radix) and their political backers.
Vimshottari Dasha Narrative: Mahadasha of L-6/L-9 Guru, age 24-40 Guru = L-1/L-4 from Chandra
Guru/Budha
Guru/Surya
Guru/Rahu period age 40
Mahadasha of L-7/L-8 Shani
As G. W. entered his 40th decade, mahadasha of his amazing Shani began. G. W. was elected governor of Texas in Nov.1994 Shani/Shukra; and re-elected governor in 1998 Shani/Chandra. Parivartamsha yoga of Budha + lagnesha Chandra creates a very favorable "public relations" impression of parochialism and patriotism (Chandra) along with a homelike verbal charm (Budha) G. W. comes from a wealthy east-coast family which has substantial business interests in Texas but their cultural homeland is the blue-blood estate world of New England. G. W. like all the Bush children was born in Connecticut. Nevertheless G. W. married a native Texan wife and was a highly popular governor perceived to be a native son. Shani/Rahu period As ballots were being counted for the 2000 USA presidential election, GW entered Shani/Rahu period while Rahu/Ketu transited Mithuna/Dhanus. Not a dangerous nodal axis for GW, but considering Shani's engagement with Ketu-Rahu in dashamsha, the election would be highly irregular and resolved only by a supreme court decision - in his favor, of course, since the nodes really were in a non-dangerous place at the time, and GW's Shani is very strong! Elected with very limited popular support yet an obvious mandate from America's super-wealthy "overclass", G.W. appeared to face poor political prospects as the leader of a democratic country with a huge middle class. True to Rahu, the Sept-11 crisis soon occurred which temporarily erased internal American class divisions and bonded all peoples against a common enemy. GW's approval ratings went sky-high.
In the lives of those lacking Kala Sarpa yoga, Saturn/Rahu is normally a very difficult life period which can plunge the individual into suicidal despair . However in a time of national frustration (with a fraudulent election) GW relied on his family's huge financial power base. Shortly afterward, in a period of national desperation and fear G.W. hit the political jackpot, turning crisis of "Sept-11" World Trade Center terrorist bombing into a strong political base. His popular approval ratings rose extremely high during the two years following the crisis, making his Shani/Rahu period an era of astounding political success! Yogakaraka Mars benefits House of Speech One of the best political features of "GW"'s radix chart is yogakaraka Mangala occupying house-2, domain of speech and wealth. Not only does this position (and other wealth indicators) guarantee him a lifetime of extraordinary material prosperity, it makes his speech extremely successful politically. While the younger Bush is often criticized by intellectuals for his halting, contradictory, and seemingly uneducated speech, Bush's verbal emanations are popularly perceived as honest and believable by the American majority. Citizens may perceive him as lacking knowledge but he is nevertheless held to be personally honest - a huge factor in American political success! (Compare to Jimmy Carter, with the unfortunate L-6 Guru in his 2nd house of speech. Carter was perceived as unpersuasive at best; at worst, unclear or adversarial.) Prediction: GW's almost untouchable political career has been somewhat on autopilot for the entire duration of his incredibly strong Shani. Shani is neechcha banga within dashamsha, suggesting that bad events will help his career. Certainly the tragedy of 9/11 created a deep public need for trust in the national leader, and G.W.'s leadership style seemed to achieve that trust. The glaring incompetence shown by political appointees at FEMA re: Hurricane Katrina became an "issue" rather than a "scandal". People seem to want to believe in him, regardless of the facts. (Power of the parivartamsha Budha/Chandra!) Expect the career to start shifting into administrative paralysis (L-3 Budha with Shani) and loss of public identity (end of term of office, Budha = L-12 for retirement) along with loss of national dignity from fruitless engagements in foreign lands (L-12 Budha loss with L-10 Shukra for national dignity). G.W.'s powerful Shani mahadasha shifts into Budha mahadaha, in spring 2006. However the parivartamsha will carry him through the end of his second term with no major scandals except increasing dissolution of identity due to effects of the L-3/L-12 Budha. Shani mahadhasa progressing into Budha mahadasha: 3.5 yr gear-shift Dasha sandhi i.e. the gear-shift era between two periods, becomes a major factor in the transition between two long-lasting mahadashas. Shani mahadasha = 16 years and Bush's incoming Budha mahadasha = 17 years. The "sandhi" [sambandhi] or "fusion" period = 10% of Shani's period + 10% of Budha's period = approx. 3.3 years. So, we won't see the full "shift into Budha characteristics for 3.3+ years into the Budha mahadasha - by which time he'll be out of office. Expect to see a slow emergence of L-3/L-12 radix behaviors, such as foreign travel (L-12) and a sharper focus on team-building (L-3) and public relations. Bush is not popular with the liberal press - watch him start to reach out in a marketing/PR (L-3) campaign to try to replace his buffoon image (L-12) with an image of an optimistic guy who is more self-aware than you think (Moon/Guru). L-3/L-12 Budha is all about PR and subconsciously perceived images. Career no longer Shani-supported Also, expect the career itself to take a dive because Budha is nowhere near the career powerhouse that Shani was. Budha is still believable and Bush still feels like "family" (chandra) to much of middle america, but the L-12 factor of a foreign war is dissolving his support base. Budha rules no kendras Budha doesn't rule kendras in either D-1, or D-9, or in the all-important D-10. Budha is Rahu's lord in D-9, so the gainfulness continues. He is making money while all this political thing is going on, be sure of it. But Budha is not a strong career factor at all. To keep his career afloat during the last 2 lame duck years, either Bush the man gets a much better team - which he hasn't needed to do intentionally for 19 years because the entrenched privilege system (Shani) has supported him - or he loses credibility. Crisis has become opportunity (Shani/Mesha/D-10) on many occasions. Unfortunately in Budha mahadasha, crisis is just crisis. Budha's houses and tenants Budha "wakes up" quite a few planetgrahas during Budha mahadasha. Budha's radix tenants are Guru, Chandra, and Surya - a positive, self-validating group of grahas that all like to talk. Navamsha Budha give also the result of radix Guru, and Dashamsha Budha gives the result of radix Surya. So we look most closely at Guru and Surya to predict the career direction during Budha mahadasha. Inner advising relationships from D-9 The psycho-spiritual effect which most motivates the inner circle of relationships including spouse and core advisors is seen in navamsha, manifesting materially through Bush's radix L-6/L-9 Guru L-6/L-9 Guru gives a mix of animosity toward Bush through expansion (Guru) of 6th-house matters like war and debt, along with some excellent fortune including divine protection & spiritual fellowship, coming through Guru as L-9. He's going to get some good advice via L-9 (to learn more about world religions) and some bad advice via L-6 (to expand the Iraq War). He will act on both, because lagnesha Chandra which his ability to commit himself emotionally, is optimistic (being with Guru). I don't think he'll completely lose credibility because his PR team will go into action (find them in his house-3). They believe in him (Chandra/lagnesha/3) and they have abundant media resources at their disposal (Guru/3). Despite both Guru and Chandra not performing well in Kanya rashi, Bush basically believes in himself... he will not have a crisis of self-doubt thus he will continue to be able to lead, albeit with a busier, chattier, more globe-trotting team. Kala-sarpa yoga predicts a fall at the pinnacle of success. So far Shani mahadasha has been amazingly strong, weathering all crises with integrity and control. However, Budha because lacks strength in D-9 and D-10, after spring 2006 public confidence in his administration will dip. At onset of Budha mahadasha in spring 2006, Rahu-Ketu will return to navamsha axis whilst Budha is radix L-12 suggesting a significant loss to his personal dignity during spring-autumn 2006. But this Rahu-Ketu transit is finished in Oct-2006, and he'll get out of denial about then... realizing he has an image problem and getting savvy about fixing it. For a nodal guy like kala-sarpa Bush, the nodes Rahu-Ketu play a bigger role in his life than most. The general profile of kala-sarpa yoga is a person who, despite partaking of life's many pleasures, is still prone to sacrifice themself for a higher goal. Kala-sarpa people sometimes manifest as matriarchs of large families who promote the family, profiting somewhat personally but having to give up individual goals in order to promote the whole. JFK Sr. is another example of Kala Sarpa Yoga. His pleasure-taking is legendary, but he clearly made the ultimate sacrifice. G.W. Bush has that sacrificial yoga, but Budha does not per se trigger it. Budha/Kuja period which stimulates radix house-10 and radix Ketu, may be dangerous - but he will be out of office by then. A little 2006 political humor: Dear Friends and Relatives: I have the distinguished honor of being on the committee to raise $5,000,000 for a monument of George W. Bush. We originally wanted to put him on Mt. Rushmore until we discovered there was not enough room for two more faces. We then decided to erect a statue of George in the Washington, D. C. Hall Of Fame. We were in a quandary as to where the statue should be placed. It was not proper to place it beside the statue of George Washington, who never told a lie, or beside Richard Nixon, who never told the truth, since George W. could never tell the difference. We finally decided to place it beside Christopher Columbus, the greatest Republican of them all. He left not knowing where he was going, and when he got there he did not know where he was. He returned not knowing where he had been, and did it all on someone else's money. Thank you, George W. Bush Monument Committee "The 23rd Qualm" "Bush is my shepherd; I dwell in want. "He maketh logs to be cut down in national forests. "He leadeth trucks into the still wilderness. He restoreth my fears. "He leadeth me in the paths of international disgrace for his ego's sake. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of pollution and war, I will find no exit, for thou art in office. "Thy tax cuts for the rich and thy media control, they discomfort me. "Thou preparest an agenda of deception in the presence of thy religion. "Thou annointest my head with foreign oil. My health insurance runneth out. "Surely megalomania and false patriotism shall follow me all the days of thy term, "And my jobless child shall dwell in my basement forever." |
