Political Figures

Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower

1890 - 1969

• USA President # 34 = January 20, 1953 - January 20, 1961

• First Supreme Allied Commander in Europe [WWII] = April 2, 1951 - May 30, 1952

• birth time is approximated acc. the notoriously unreliable source = "mother's memory"

• IMO, the most striking feature of this nativity is how the leadership career of an acutely intelligent man

• languishes during mahadasha of obscure L-5+L-6 Shani/12

• rises suddenly and extremely to a position of high public importance

  • in the mahadasha of the pancha-mahapurushauchchamsha Budha receiving amplified drishti of Guru + Rahu

Prominent features of the nativity

10th navamsha = Rahu in Simha = politics = twice elected USA President; many devious and sudden twists and turns of the political career, regimes rise and fall under his watch

bhava-7 representing the second child receives the child-friendly drishti of uchcha Budha.

Children:

• Neechcha Guru in putra bhava, unfavorable for the first child. (First child died at age three, of scarlet fever.)

• Second child survived and flourished, providing grandchildren and bringing honor to Grandfather Ike Death in the period of L-2

Wealth = L-11 chandra in bhava-2 = dhana yoga

Mangala Mahadasha

• Mangala rules the inauspicious 3-8 from Kanya lagna
• Mangala occupies bhava-4
• Mangala in Dhanushya rashi

In later life, Eisenhower was hardly ever stationed in his own home - a good thing in this case, since L-3 + L-8 Mangala in bhava-4 generates a fierce Kuja Dosha

Mangala in 4 = distinguished fighting for the homeland

Mangala-ruled Chitra Chandra + Chitra lagna = arts of war

Rahu Mahadasha

Ketu in bhava-3 = Rahu in bhava-9

• Ambivalence (Ketu) toward publications, announcements, and siblings; problems with publishers

• Desire for recognition (Rahu) as a father, moral leader, professor or a spiritual teacher

more wealth = Uchcha Rahu = mutual drishti with neechcha Guru = L-4 (patriotism, defense of the land) + L-7 (deals, agreements, relationships)

uchcha Rahu in bhava-9 =

• Rahu will cast drishti upon radix lagna

• shapes the social personality of a religious priest, preacher, or exponent of a wisdom-tradition

• exotic, unusual type of religious teachers during this lifetime

• risk-taking father-figure

• foreign elements infiltrate the scripture or received moral dogma

• temple-based philosophical education = unconventional style of dharma transmission.

Rahu drishti to

• 1 = social personality + appearance

• 3 = communications, advertising, public-relations

• 5 = politics, winning games and contests

Guru Mahadasha

• marriage (photo)

• Budha = L-7 navamsha

• internal difficulties of marriage = Kuja dosha + Shukra + Rahu-Ketu while L-7 Guru suffers neechcha debility

• yet one = identified socially with married-status = lagnesha uchchamsha Budha = L-7 navamsha

Budha Mahadasha

• lagnesha uchchamsha Budha

• pancha-mahapurusha = Bhadra Yoga

• Budha in bhava-1 = dik-bala

Kanya lagna Political Leaders: Budha = lagnesha and L-10

• Activation of "Bhadra Yoga" (Birth time is approximated within a 2-hour window.)

• Budha is also lord of 9th navamsha Kanya with atmakaraka Surya (politics) in the 9th career-determining navamsha bhava. Eisenhower's military planning skills were legendary and many took him for a strategic-and-tactical planning guru.
