the birth time is approximated and controversial

Atmakaraka = Budha (commerce, conversations, communications media, cooperation) = dik-bala in 1

Vishaka, for males:

• "... aggressiveness andimpatience.

• these people are overbearing in their desire to get things done.

• they are very active but not popular,

  • since their manner causes causes people to actively dislikethem

  • and toresent their extreme aggressiveness.

• they are very proud

  • and because of this, they take offense easily at some fancied slight.

• their anger makes enemies of people who might cooperate with them, if treated differently.

• they will overcome their enemies through sheer force of character,

  • but such people will still remain enemies.

• tact and kindness are qualities which they should try to develop."

Distinctive Features of the Nativity:

Ketu in bhava 8 = Rahu in bhava 2

• Ambivalence (Ketu) toward occult knowledge and hidden resources 
• desire (Rahu) to be recognized as a holder of treasuries of wealth or knowledge

Raja Yoga :

Yogakaraka L4+L-5 Shani joined with L-1 Shukra in labha bhava .

• L-9 Budha occupies Thula lagna;

• L-4 casts drishti upon L-10

• L-5 + L-1 cast drishti upon putra bhava .

• Unfortunately, he leadership situation (10) is plagued by uchcha L-6 in 10 (extra-strong conflicts). Although born into a ruling family, as suggested by the Raja Yoga , Pahlavi was eventually overthrown by military force (6) expressing social unrest (6).

Karma bhava bhava-10 = top positions from which governance is issued.

bhava-10 = regulations, hierarchical systems, bureaucracies, rank, status, and reputation.

Compare to other leadership nativities featuring the L-6 in 10 :

• USA Pres-29, Warren G. Harding (Teapot Dome scandal, Harding was blamed for pervasive corruption which had long preceded him. Died of heart attack in office.)

• USA Pres-32, Franklin D. Roosevelt (tremendous animosity despite his fervent and ultimately lethal public service, died of paralysis and system exhaustion while in office)

• USA Pres-44, Barack Obama

• Pres of France, Charles de Gaulle (in and out of favor; abdicated at the end)

• Jiddu Krishnamurti (abdicated the pinnacle position due to disagreement with its premise)

• Edgar Cayce (struggled long and hard to establish a healing institution, leadership roles sabotaged)

Parivartamsha yoga

• exchanges Shukra (wealth) and Surya (kingship)

• elegant, regal, fashionable, selfish wives

• exchange of L-11 (earnings, achievements) and L-1 (physical body appearance, social personality)

• result of parivartamsha does NOT generate the neechcha bhanga of Surya in lagna - rather creates megalomania and self-obsession

• agent of "shocking"social changes

• Kuja owns and aspects Chandra +Rahu in dhana bhava

• = a violent, emotionally deranged temperament = profound rage of jealousy expressed primarily within the family (2)

• = lord of powerful but manipulative "squeezing" Azlesa Guru = immensely wealthy family with tremendous power and constant, frequently violent, internecine intrigue

• the inauspicious L-3 (administration of business) and L-6 (enemies) from Thula lagna = constant conflict in leadership roles, frustration with petty officials, jealous enemies

• However the same spectacular Guru brings wealth from family (2) and from speculation/gambling (5) as the L-2+L-5 from Chandra

• eventually deposed in a violent revolution and reviled by the common people

• destiny to use the gift of a powerful and articulate mentality

• most famous as a leader of social change movements, compare to Rev. Martin Luther King and Barack Obama

Number of marriages

There are three marriage significators: Shukra and the two graha with Shukra.

(There are a total of six Shukra-related graha including Shukra+Mangala+Shani, and also the graha in Shukra's two rashi including Surya+Budha and Ketu. This native has a busy marriage life.)

Shukra (marriage-1) is with Shani (YogakarakaL-4+L-5) and Mangala (L-2, second marriage) .

Third marriage is long-lasting and dignified. Shani is compromised in the rashi of enemy Surya and near enemy Mangala, therefore many difficulties also in marriage-3. However it is stable and conventional.

As for any Thula native, the first two marriages are substantially profiled by active, competitive, often adversarial L-7+L-2 Mangala.

• In the Shah's case, Kuja = lord of Chandra and 6th-from-Chandra= a dicey position emotionally, involving profound but insatiable emotional need for control, and ultimate breakage due to neechcha Chandra's intense volatility.

• The sexual vitality and competitive enthusiasm of Mangala are often invigorating in early life. The first two marriage would have been initially engaging and provide a degree of physically based attraction and a certain amount of sporting fun.

• However the stronger purposes of the consort to a world leader must be to articulate and demonstrate, through role-modeling and talk, the deeper and more secure grounding of nation and family into its historic traditions.

• Budha the Communicator, L-9 for Pahlavi's the third marriage,is better suited to this purpose. Budha is quite dignified in Pahlavi's birth chart, residing in lagna and escaping the solipsistic condition of moudhya. The third marriage was indeed the most successful.

Reading the marriages via Navamsha Lords

In a marriage (whether sexual or spiritual) the relationship between the radix graha who is L-1 navamsha and the radix graha who is L-7 navamsha will provide a good part of the profile of the native's first marriage.

• This pair of graha show which internal relationship inside the native's own reality is being mirrored and triggered most intensively by the thoughts and actions of the spouse.

• In general, the native's viewpoint upon marriage as a social exercise can be summed up via the lord of navamsha-1, and the native's expectation or hopes regarding the character and disposition of the spousal partner can be summed up via the lord of navamsha-7. (Occasionally, these are reversed.)

• Mithuna on the navamsha lagna with the rising atmakaraka Budha shows an immensely verbal, linguistically and culturally skilled individual.

• His complement in marriage should have Dhanushya traits of ritual priesthood. I.e., she should know the religion of the people as well as the religion of the ruling caste. The ideal dhanushya spouse is a philosophical educator, motivated and capable of pursuing complex discussions regarding the world; an afficionada of world travel for the purpose of learning; good-humored; optimistic; expansive of mind; generous; and fertile.

• Unfortunately Guru-Budha are mutually unfriendly. As always, the dilemma of the Mithuna-Dhanusha axis is that Budha feels neutral toward Guru, but Brihaspati sees Budha as an enemy.

Marriage-1 = Princess Fawzia of Egypt

For Pahlavi, marriage-1 = Budha-Guru.

• In radix, Budha and Guru = 4/10 angle = dignified and traditional public/private roles.

• The first marriage tends to involve someone from a prominent professional position or a high rank (10) and be rather focused on patriotic duty, property holdings and cultural roots (4). Radix Budha in bhava-1 emphasizes the physical appearance and decorative (Thula) costume of the spouse.

• The 4/10 angle is favorable.

• Because Budha = atmakaraka and occupies the radix lagna and navamsha lagna, Budha becomes a dominant karaka for the native.

• Thus Guru in the house of public dignity and leadership roles, representing a socially distinguished wife, has a natural animosity toward the native who is represented by Budha.

• Ketu in 7th-from-Chandra shows the psychological and social distancing in the 1st marriage. The spouse is emotionally disconnected, playing a role only.

Second marriage profile = the relationship between the radix graha who is L-2 navamsha + the radix graha who is L-8 navamsha

• For Pahlavi, this pair = Chandra-Shani. In radix, Chandra and Shani also = a 4/10 angle. It is also socially dignified and engages the traditional public/private roles of husband and wife.

• The second marriage tends to involve duty (Shani) and deep emotion (Chandra). The marriage advances the native's goals (Shani-11) and is rather focused on emotional catharsis and acquisition of wealth (2).

• As always, the dilemma of the Karkata-Makara axis is that Chandra is neutral toward Shani, yet Shani sees Chandra as an enemy.

• The graha are 'soft' enemies. Chandra can be assumed to represent the young princess, who suffered fertility problems (neechcha Chandra + Rahu receiving drishti of Kuja) and lifelong depression as an adult.

• Her relation to the native is neutral. However he must execute the bitter duty (Shani-Simha) of divorcing a childless wife. She retained a great deal of wealth (Chandra in dhana bhava). The fertility issues can also be seen in the navamsha 2-8 axis, Rahu vs. neechcha Guru (Brihaspati is damaged) + detached and ambivalent Ketu.

• Marriage ceremony = 21 December 1959

• gochara Rahu-Ketu transit Kanya-Meena

Third marriage profile = the relationship between the radix graha who is L-3 navamsha and the radix graha who is L-9 navamsha

• For Pahlavi, this pair = Surya-Shani.In radix, Surya and Shani occupy a 3/11 angle, and there is a great deal of support for Surya (Kingship) from the parivartamsha of Shukra-Surya. The third marriage tends to involve rigorous duty (Shani) and major emphasis on iconic physical appearance through the dramatically powerful neechcha bhanga Surya in bhava-1.

• As always, the dilemma of the Simha-Kumbha axis is that Surya and Shani are bitter natural enemies. However due to the parivartamsha correction, Shukra, a great friend of Shani, comes to occupy Thula lagna in exchange with Surya, and the natural animosity is well compensatedwith the dignity of wealth and public grace.

• With the third marriage, the native's kingly personality finally achieves the required friendly support. Shani while by nature the enforcer of a heavy workload and in Simha not a happy worker, is nevertheless a Yogakarakafrom the Thula lagna with neechcha bhanga Surya and the atmakaraka Budha.

• Shani + Chandra in navamsha shows an "evil queen" element in the wife's personality but this does not disrupt the flow of income (Shani-11), dignity (Surya-1) and regal power (Surya gains virtual Simha swakshetra through the parivartamsha.)

The angle is friendly, and (for good or for evil) the graha are tremendously empowered in public life.
