Kennedy succeeded by: Richard M. Nixon reading in progress, pls check back... apocryphal birth time of 0500 hrs - not confirmed a consummate dealmaker famed for creating consensus in warring party factions switched from conservative segregationist role to legendary supporter of civil rights educated at the plebian State Teachers College, committed to expansion of educational opportunity throughout his political career Won US election by largest margin in history left office in humiliation, as Vietnam War spun out of control in 1968 died a broken man; San Antonio TX 22 Jan 1973 General observations on the nativity: Powerful cluster of graha in Simha, the rashi of politics, in putative domain-2 (house of speech) would account for Johnson's legendary oratory (compare to Brad Pitt's large cluster of Dhanau graha in domain-2; it is likely that Pitt will enter politics!) Karakamsha Vrishabha in domain-11 suggests the native is best known for community organizer of ability with determination and direction.  Domain-11 = income; lord Shukra is "curtained" in privacy-domain-12 which does not reduce the income but shields it from public view. Although posing as an impoverished rancher, Johnson became an extremely wealthy man during his long career in political service, rising from humble Texas family to a multi-millionaire during the 1960's. Shukra exceptionally strong for wealth with Guru in Vrishabha navamsha. Yogakaraka L-5/L-10 Kuja in domain-2 for storage money (savings, capital) in domain-11, with the L-9, creates a yoga for powerful wealth -- L-5 = politics Kuja = karaka for warfare; Johnson made huge profits from communication (and other) businesses engaged in the Vietnam War. Also, the war appeared to have killed him (domain-2 = death) at least in spirit, since he left office in humiliation and defeat - and died not long afterward. Shani in domain-9 for university education. Johnson attended a working class Teacher's College in the 1930's Depression Era, which accounts for his tough Shani in the house of higher education and religion. Johnson never forgot (Shani never forgets) the crushing, enslaving poverty he saw as a young teacher; as as a result he promoted educational investment for the lower classes consistnetly, during his long political career. Also, Johnson was a hardened realist and explicitly not a religious man. conversation-loving, luxury-loving Shukra is the atmakaraka, much amplified by Rahu Rahu would destroy religiosity, but increase material fortunes a classic "spread" for sacrificial public leaders: of all graha between Rahu and Ketu, except one (Shani is outside the Rahu-Ketu enclosure) Keu in domain-6 = "a bad planet in a bad house gives good results".  The native endures one enemies, and is largely insensitive to the damage caused by bitter animosity and conflict, including War. Also gives an unconcerned, disengaged acceptance, due to Guru's wise aspect, toward exploitation, servitude, and the force of local tradition - which would explain his early segregationism. Dhanishtha nakshatra on navamsha lagna suggests a relentless upward march toward the acquisition of wealth and "upward mobility" of increased social status One item of confirmation for the 05:00 birth time (or perhaps a bit earlier, near 04: 55 or so) is L.B. Johnson's legendary Cheapness and control fixation . Ashlesha nakshatra. is known for secreting away piles of money and "poor mouth" pretending to be subsistence poor. According to Wikipedia, "Johnson was famously frugal.  Even as President, White House tapes recorded him asking a photographer to take his family portraits for free, saying he was a very poor man living on a weekly paycheck and had a very great deal of financial debt. In fact Johnson was a multimillionaire, but he still wasn't charged for the photographic portraits.  The White House press corps made jokes at his expense regarding his habit of turning off all lights in the  White House when the rooms were not in use. Johnson's secretary revealed years later that he would wash and reuse Styrofoam cups. His favorite soft drink was Fresca, which he drank constantly. Johnson had a small control box installed in the writing desk in the small personal office adjacent to the Oval Office. This control box contained two buttons, marked "Coffee" and "Fresca". Pushing one of these buttons would summon Johnson's military aide bringing the appropriate drink."
