  • 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.)

  • Budha in nodal axis - career has extraordinary volatility and features breaking of conventional moral/social codes

Ms. Bhutto was highly literate in numerous languages of East and West. She was a capable writer and compelling speaker.


Budha yuti Ketu: 

Benazir Bhutto spoke well but under peculiar circumstances (Ketu). She rose to public power in a land where by custom women are discouraged from participating in public life. Yet as an "exception" Bhutto was permitted to speak publicly, throughout the land, and to hold highest office.

To achieve the fruit of holding high public office, one  must normally endure a long and painstaking process of crafting infinite numbers of smaller, supporting relationships. An elected high official sits upon a pyramid of tightly interconnected supporting ranks. That is why domain-7 (contracts and agreements) is just as important as domain-10 (leadership and prestige) in determining career prospect.

Budha in domain-8 suggests that her most effective relationship agreements - personal and political - were of an exceptional, peculiar nature; obscured to the public; and conducted in secret. 


Karma padaa

In a land of low literacy rates, the karma padaa has special importance. 

  • Karma padaa = domain-6. 

Native's conformity to public standards and leadership trustworthiness (domain-10) is widely perceived as both deeply patriotic and abundantly corrupt. Karma padaa does not refer to the facts of the matter, i.e. the actual track record of the administration or any other matters of rational accord. Rather, karma padaa shows public 'intuitive' perception of the individual's worth and character regardless of material facts or rational conclusions. 

Bhutto's political career was wracked by international and domestic corruption charges. But she was also beloved by the poorest of the agricultural poor in her homeland, and many Pakistanis in diaspora, who saw her as the icon of an abundant, broad-minded, generous, religious, national future.

Good Guru - bad house!


Surya & L-5 Kuja

For politics, both Surya and L-5 should be strong (to empower speculation, winnings, entertainments, celebrity, theatre)

  • Surya angular, yuti L-5 Kuja

  • Surya powerful in shadbala

Democratic politics with its culture of popular elections, huge networks of association, and very large assemblies, also invokes the community energy of domain-11. Generally a successful elected official (one who triumphs in many popular elections) requires strength along the full 5-11 axis.


Shukra-Chandra

  • L-6/L-11 Shukra occupies domain-5 of political celebrity

  • The Shukra-Chandra public presentation is overtly female


Lagnesha/L-4 Guru in domain-6

  • grants an extraordinary abundance of enemies and a natural affinity for criminal association

  • lagnesha in domain-6 suggests that the native is fundamentally identified with social conflict 

  • L-4 in domain-6 indicates constant conflict in the (privileged) childhood home

  • L-4 in domain-6 also plunges basic patriotic nationalism of L-4 into the realm of constant conflict

Normally a benefic in dusthana expands the undesirable effects of the dusthana while wasting much of the natural ease of the benefic.

Bhutto certainly attracted a generous share of international animosity, due largely to her unembarrassed penchant for criminal corruption. 


Phul (fruits): Domain-6 = 11th-from-domain-8

Every bhava gives a particular type of fruit. L-1/L-4 Guru in domain-6 = unlimited "entitlement" (Guru)  to the fruits of domain-8 = confidential information/insider connections.

Her expansive patriotism, a product of her L-4 upbringing, created a lifetime of ever-expanding disagreement over the "social contract". Her wealth & property entitlements (L-4 Guru, Rahu in domain-2, Shani)


Rahu

Rahu in domain-2 gives extraordinary wealth. Means of obtaining the wealth will break taboos. Rahu expands the power of Rahu's lord: L-2/L-3 Shani.


L-2/L-3 Shani

Family wealth plus self-made wealth. Means of obtaining the wealth = Shani in domain-10, native's connection to public office.

Cause of Death = Domain-8 and L-8

Classical Jyotisha predicts the circumstances of death from the environment and agents represented in domain-8, randhra bhava.

L-8 = Chandra

  • chandra occupies domain-11 for large assemblies, populist activities, mass elections

Occupants of domain-8 = vargottama Budha & Ketu

  • vargottama Budha gives double effect of Chandra

  • Budha is by far the predominant graha in Bhutto's career patterns
