James Earl (Jimmy) Carter 1924 - Nobel Peace Prize: 2002 39th USA President: 1976-1980 83rd Governor of Georgia: 1970-1974 all graha have double effect with Chandra in lagna	Political Figure
preceded by: Gerald R. Ford-38 succeeded by: Ronald Reagan-40

Thula lagna Chandra in tanu-bhava-1

Recommended Jyotisha-ratna Gems:

• Neelam (blue sapphire for yogakaraka Shani)

• Panna (emerald for dharmapati Budha)
• Hira (diamond for lagnesha Shukra)

Public Life

• Rahu in bhava-10 = dramatic rise to leadership roles, under taboo-breaking, illicit, or culturally irregular (Rahu) circumstances. (Carter was a Washington-DC outsider with very limited political experience)

  • Often a glass-ceiling crasher, able to break gender-race-age barriers in conservative professional roles.

    • May challenge conventional standards in the style of ascendancy to the high ranking position.

  • Rahu swabhukti is especially intense, exposing the native's life to the public eye.

  • Diverse responsibilities, executive empowerment involving contact with outsider, foreign elements, world governments.

  • Best results in Vrishabha (uchcha, wealth) and Kumbha (own sign, widely distributed networks) but all rashi will yield publicity and leadership power. Rahu gives best results in 3, 6, 10 and 11.

• Ketu in bhava-4 = homeland, patriotism, parents

• L-4 + L-5 + L-10 in lagna

• Carter's pre-presidential life as a military submarine commander, agribusiness peanut farmer, and governor of Georgia received more public approval than his presidency.

• Jimmy Carter endured what many consider a "failed" presidency,1976-1980 - during his Ketu Mahadasha.

• His post-presidential life as an international democratic elections supervisor and icon of the famed "Habitat for Humanity" along with other charitable and religious leadership activities, especially his work to ensure fair [Thula] elections in emerging democracies, continues to receive tremendous public respect.

Thula predominates = Leadership

• Thula lagna in D-1, D-9 and D-10 suggests world recognition and international leadership

• cf. Adolf Hitler for Thula in radix, navamsha, and dashamsha -- but note the dignity of "social justice" uchcha Shani in Carter's lagna

Shukra

• lagnesha Shukra = "double L-8"and "double lagnesha" from both Thula lagna and Thula Chandra; from navamsha lagna; and from dashamsha lagna

• Shukra rules a majority of key points in the nativity = Shani, Chandra, radix lagna, Chandra lagna, navamsha lagna, dashamsha lagna; plus, Kuja and Surya in the D-9

• given Carter's powerful Sasya YogaShani, Shukra grants a long life and many changes of external purpose, multiple deathless cycles of death and rebirth (cf. Elizabeth Taylor)

Wealth

• Material Wealth is not at all luxurious but rather quite modest.

• The nativity features a number of fine dhana yoga. Indeed, Mr. Carter and his family have everything they need to enjoy life, and to dress appropriately for the state dinners required for his work.

• Mr. Carter is a very prominent and well-networked person, who has no doubt encountered many opportunities to gain personal wealth. Yet his lifestyle does not include conspicuous consumption, and his personal property equates to the American middle class average.

• Shukra = "double L-8" for Carter's double Thula nativity, and Shukra-11 = weak in enemy's RashiSimha while Shukra's lord Surya is also weak in 12.

Shani

• Carter's powerful uchchaShani, at the precise degree of exaltation(10 degrees) is the most striking feature of his radix chart. This man has a world-class work ethic!

• Shani is also strong in dashamsha, which is confirming -- to the extent that we can rely upon a somewhat general birth time (0700).

• Combined with L-10 Moon boosting career, this is a destined-for-greatness chart with certain prominent weaknesses.

• Yogakaraka Sasya Yoga gives public dignity and a lifelong quest for social justice. Shani also creates Sasya Yoga in D-10

• Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 =

  • Surya/Rahu period

  • -- Shani casts the 10th drishti upon Rahu,

  • and Rahu occupies 10th-from-Chandra

  • while Chandra = lord of 10th-from-Lagna AND 10th-from-Chandra.

Chandra + Shani

This man is very much a product of the women around him. cf. St. Catherine Laboure

• L4-Shani/Chandra yoga shows a fiercely ambitious, organized, and pro-education mother.

• Chandra/Shani drishti to yuvati bhava indicates a similar conservative, caring determination in the character of the spouse.

According to Behari, [Shani/Thula/1]

• "... is very auspicious, bestowing much honor, power andleadership, high status, wealth, extensive renownand social leadershipto you who are exceptionally gifted.

• You have enduring health. In spite of an otherwise well-proportioned body, depression persists in your countenance. You are not very careful about your clothes.

• You may indulge in a tawdryor socially unacceptable relationship or covet another's' spouse or wealth and suffer humiliation and loss of prestige at some time or other."

Vimshottari Dasha Narrative:

Shani Mahadasha

• age 13-32
• L-4+L-5 Yogakarakafrom Thula lagna
• L-4+L-5 Yogakarakafrom Thula Chandra
• Shani is a great friend of lagnesha Shukra

Super-strong educational foundations

• Carter was too young to distinguish himself professionally during Shani Mahadasha. Yet, education was obtained during the period of uchcha L-4, which granted him a quality of preparatory and university study far beyond the standard for his folk (4). Carter's core cultural customs, education, intelligence, and superior work ethicwere undoubtedly shaped during this foundational period.

• Carter worked in the national defense (4, Chandra) for the USA Navy

• Because Ketu occupies Makara in radix, Ketu will later carry out the excellent directive of hard-working,justice-serving Shani - when Carter is in his 50's.

L-9+L-12 Budha Mahadasha- age 32-49

Budha is a friend of lagnesha Shukra

• Simha-Budha's enjoys parivartamsha yoga + Kanya-Surya.

• the result = virtual uchcha Budha and virtual swakshetra Surya empowering both 11 (goals) and 12 (visions)

Budha/Shukra period

• Elected to the Georgia state senate in 1962

• Budha is very articulate from the parivartamsha yoga, and a great networker being in labha bhava the house of associations, whilst Shukra is the charismatic, self-promoting lagnesha that does the bidding of Budha who has the superior degree.

Budha-Kuja period

• He lost a campaign for governor of Georgia in 1966 under Budha/Kuja perhaps due to temporarily harsh speech under the Mars bhukti.

Budha-Guru period

• But Mercury really is a good planet, and Carter was elected governor of Georgia in Nov. 1970 under Budha/Guru.

• Guru as L3-L6 is not a good planet for Carter, and his governorship might have gone poorly if Guru's effects had not ended.

Budha-Shani period

• However, within the year Budha/Shani period started, bringing all the excellent communicative benefits of a 3/11 angle from a parivartamsha mahadasha-pati onto the uchcha Shani.

Ketu Mahadasha - age 49-56

• Continuing the strength of Shani embedded in Ketu, Carter's Georgia governorship became his launching pad to the democratic presidential nomination in 1975.

Ketu-Chandra period

• , Chandra = L-10 radix + L-10 navamsha

  • Elected to USA presidency Nov. 1976

  • Gochara Rahu/Ketuat precisely 10 degrees of Libra/Aries (exact degree of Carter's rising Shani.)

  • Gochara Shani in Karkata, moving through Carter's career 10th radix and also the 10th navamsha.

• Ketu does the bidding of his powerfully exalted lord Shani, the patriotic and politically intelligent L-4+L-5. Ketu is by nature spiritual rather than material or political. Shri Ketu /Shri Ganesha removes all ego-attachments which are obstacles to spiritual realization. Although Ketu's lord Shani gives a huge work ethic and a profound sense of justice, Ketu himself is quite detached.

• during his Ketu Mahadasha, Carter was not especially ego-attached to power, and he did not develop an international power base of ego-motivated world leaders. Rather, he came across as a rather parochial man of principle, guided by the Baptist Christian religious traditions of his upbringing and either unwilling or unable to expand his vision past that tradition into a truly international perspective.

• Perhaps the least popular or accessible president since Calvin Coolidge, Carter was considered a weak and even apathetic (Ketu) president internally in the USA due to his unwillingness or inability to handle conflict in the classic, aggressive American style.

Ketu effects:

• Carter was criticized internationally for giving his wife Rosalynn too much purchase in his presidential decisions.

  Particularly in third world countries unfamiliar with women leaders, and unaccustomed to shared responsibilities and equality in marriage (remember this was the late 1970's), Carter was considered to be a weak man unable to "speak softly and carry a big stick" per Teddy Roosevelt's classic American foreign policy directive.

  • It seems pretty clear from the navamsha, with Moon and Venus (wife) so strong and 7th-lord Mars rising, that Mrs. Rosalynn Carter had a huge amount of control in her husband's life. In the "two person careers" which are so common in politics, the wife does generally have executive powers regarding her husband's decisions -- and thusL-7 Mangala in Thula navamsha suggests just such a classic political career.

  • Carter was never embarrassed about Rosalynn's participation in his presidency; in fact, he thought equality in marriage and professional life was a natural function of Christian life. What he didn't seem to perceive or care about was that most of the world, including his own country, wanted a USA president to work solo - as a charismatic, ambitious, ego-driven world power monger. That would have been a good role for Rahu.

• But Carter endured an entire presidency of the most powerful country in the world, under mahadasha of Ketu!

Shukra Mahadasha - 1981-2001

• age 56-76

  • Shukra/Simha/11

  • Shukra is a friend of lagnesha Shukra

  • L-1+L-8 lagnesha from Thula lagna

  • L-1+L-8 from Thula Chandra

• he was wiser by 56 and had already accumulated major accomplishments e.g. the USA presidency.

• Carter took the high road, developing the ideologically progressivenetworking aspect of bhava-11 = egalitarianism, orderlydistribution networks, andsystematic social progress movements.

• The period 1981-2001 developed his famed "Carter Center" promoting distribution of power throughout the social network via Election Observations.

• Lagnesha in 11 assures that Carter will be exceptionally well-connected,however he is a more mature personality and he uses those connections not for personal gain but rather for the common gain of large groups of humanity.

  Compare to similar Thula personalities that share the profile of lagnesha Shukra/Simha.11:

• Martha Stewart, andM. Reza Pahlavi = self-defined orientation to the marketplace and profits.

• During Martha Stewart's Shukra Mahadasha, her age 6-26, she worked as a fashion model and a wealth-building corporate stock saleswoman. Toward the end of the mahadasha, she got married, which further established her personality and position

• The unconfirmed birth time for Larry Ellison (Oracle Corp.) is similar: Thula lagna + empowered lagnesha Shukra in 11, resulting in a very distinctive wealth-and-luxury personafocused on marketplace transactions within a network of buyers, profits. The material body attracts "regalia" (Simha).

Lagnesha Shukra

• is a good planet for Carter: gainfully (11) positioned and lord of the uchcha Shani.

• His powerfully exalted kendra-1 Shani = social justice = is deeply empowered during the Shukra Mahadasha.

• Shukra carries out the bidding of Carter's "public-speaking" Mercury.

• Budha at 28 degrees of Simha enjoys a very helpful parivartamsha yoga + Surya/Kanya, and Budha very much dominates Shukra, allowing Shukra a greater range of self-expressionas "lagnesha with a mouthpiece"!

In 1982, Carter became University Distinguished Professor at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and founded a public-policy think-tank, The Carter Center. The Carter Center became a well regarded service training institution for non-violent conflict resolution and human rights development.

• Over the 20 years of Shukra period, Carter engaged in conflict mediation throughout the world, bringing his prestige as a former USA president to successful non-violent resolutions of some very major conflicts and human rights abuses.

• The Carter Center's successes in election monitoring gained worldwide positive attention.

• During these years Carter was also very active with and an icon of Habitat for Humanity. His reputation remained flawlessly respectable throughout Venus period.

L-11 Surya Mahadasha - 2001-2007

• age 76-82

• L-11 from Thula lagna = Goals and Achievements

• L-11 from Thula Chandra

  Surya is an enemy of lagnesha Shukra

Although Carter was retired from most active service, perhaps the greatest public honor of his life came under the auspices of Surya/Rahu.

Surya-Rahu period = Nobel Peace Prize = November 2002

• Rahu does the bidding of His lord Chandra + uchcha Shani (L-4 + L-5 + L-10 = amplified by Rahu).

• Rahuoccupies the 10th house of public respect, in a goal-achieving 3/11 angle to mahadasha pati Surya.

• Surya as lord of the 11th house of community, democracy, and goal-achievement, in the articulate, intelligent parivartamshawith Budha, will continue to bring Carter the friendship of the world.

L-10 Chandra Mahadasha - 2007-2017

age 83-93

• L-10 from Thula lagna = Public Dignity and Social Reputation

• L-10 from Thula Chandra

• Chandra = enemy of lagnesha Shukra

In Carter's Jyotisha nativity, Vishaka Chandra is "yoked" to the tremendously powerful and orderly uchcha kendra-1 Shani. (Nisturabhasi yoga, Chandra = Shani; Zasya yoga from Shani).

• Though elderly, Carter can be expected to pursue the cause of social justice with fervor, through the agency of the institutions such as the Carter Center which he has established though the force of his personality and his visionary efforts toward social justice over the course of an extremely productive lifetime. L-10 Chandra period provides the peak social respect and empowerment to impose an orderly environment in one's society.

• Carter will be greatly honored and he will direct all profits from these honors toward the material realization (Shani) of his humanitarian objectives (Shani). His life goals include the systematic spread of social justice through orderly processes and procedures, particularly the justice made available through supervised and lawful democratic elections of social leadership.

• Shani is very powerful on the material plane and thus, despite the extraordinary difficulty of reaching his goals, he will die satisfied that he has made substantial progress in social justice in this world.
