Margaret Thatcher Vladimir Putin Adolph Hitler Benito Mussolini Jerry Falwell Pope John Paul II Prominent Graha: 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. His post-presidential life as an international democratic elections supervisor and icon of the famed "Habitat for Humanity" along with other charitable & religious leadership activities, continues to receive tremendous public respect.  Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Carter's powerfully uccha Shani, 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. This man is very much a product of the women around him. L4-Shani/Chandra yoga shows a fiercely ambitious, organized, and pro-education mother.   Chandra/Shani aspecting the marriage house indicates a similar conservative, caring determination in the character of the spouse. Vimshottari Dasha Narrative: Shani Mahadasha - age 13-32 Although Carter was too young to distinguish himself professionally during Shani mahadasha, his core religious values and superior work ethic were undoubtedly shaped during this period.  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. Mercury Mahadasha - age 32-49 Mercury is a good planet for Carter because of Simha-Budha's helpful parivartana with Kanya-Surya.  He got into local politics early in Mercury's period.  Elected to the Georgia state senate in 1962 under Budha/Shukra.  Budha is very articulate from the parivartan, 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. He lost a campaign for governor of Georgia in 1966 under Budha/Kuja perhaps due to temporarily harsh speech under the Mars bhukti.   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 lasted.   However, within the year Budha/Shani period started, bringing all the excellent communicative benefits of a 3/11 angle from a parivartana mahadasha-pati onto the exalted 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. Elected to USA presidency Nov. 1976, Ketu/L-10 Moon. Gochara Rahu/Ketu at precisely 10 degrees of Libra/Aries (exact degree of Carter's rising Shani.) Gochara Shani in Karka, moving through Carter's career 10th house. Ketu does the bidding of his powerfully exalted lord Shani, the patriotic 4th lord. 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. Carter was not during his Ketu mahadasha 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 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 president internally in the USA for his inability to handle conflict aggressively - in the classic the American style.  Ketu effects: Carter was criticized internationally for giving his wife Rosalynn so much purchase in his presidential decisions.  Particularly in third world countries unfamiliar with women leaders & equality in marriage (remember this was the late 1970's), Carter was considered a weak man unable to "carry a big stick".  It seems pretty clear from the navamsha, with Moon & Venus (wife) so strong and 7th-lord Mars rising, that Rosalynn had a huge amount of control in his life. 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 - age 56-76 Venus is a good planet for Carter.  Shukra carries out the bidding of his public-speaking Mercury.  Budha at 28 degrees of Simha enjoys a very helpful parivartan with Surya in Kanya, and Budha very much dominates Shukra, allowing Shukra a greater range of self-expression as 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 very well regarded in the area of non-violent conflict resolution & 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. Surya Mahadasha - age 76-82 Although Carter is retired from most active service, perhaps the greatest public honor of his life came under the auspices of Surya/Rahu.  Rahu occupies the 10th house of public respect, in a goal-achieving 3/11 angle to mahadasha pati Surya. Rahu does the bidding of his lord Chandra, yuti with Carter's distinguished Shani. Surya as lord of the 11th house of community, in the articulate, intelligent parivartana with Budha, will continue to bring Carter the friendship of the world.
