Prominent Graha in the Nativity
Sravana Chandra "the listener"
Rahu in bhava-9
  • Rahu casts 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
    • Rahu in Makara = risks in governance rules [Leo Blair was abandoned by his young theatrical parents. As an adult, he became a Young Communist, yet he had flipped to super-conservative High Tory by the time Tony was ten]
  • foreign elements infiltrate the scripture or received moral dogma
  • temple-based philosophical education = unconventional style of dharma transmission.
Guru
  • mutual drishti between Guru in lagna (personality) and Rahu in 9 (religion, world travel)
  • Guru and Rahu cast drishti upon Shani in bhava-5 (politics)

  • In the mega-amplified period of Guru-Rahu, Blair became the youngest person ever elected UK-PM

Shani
  • Atmakaraka = Shani = lawful governance)

    yogakaraka atmakaraka VargottamshaL-9+L-10 Shani in 5 gains political auspice in bhagya bhava-5

  • Shani is also Lord of Chandra and = lord of Arudha lagna (Makara)

  • dispositor of the powerful Moon-Rahu yoga in bhava-9 for world religions

  • navamsha: Shani = L-11+L-12 in 7, indicating spousal dignity, especially religiosity

  • dashamsha : swakshetra Shani = lord of the 11th dashamsha = career in social networking, social progress movements

  • This spectacularly hard-working (Shani) blessed and inclusive (Guru) and risk-positive internationalized (Rahu) trinal nativity may continue to yield decades more world service

Tony Blair 's parents

Both of Blair's parents appear to be remarkable people, from a Jyotisha perspective:

  • Chandra + Rahu in house-9 indicates both parents, particularly the father.

  • Blair's mother Hazel was an Irish citizen, thus Rahu (alien) + Chandra (mother). Her alien qualities would have been entirely acceptable and indeed culturally praiseworthy (9) in Gaelic-influenced Scotland, but there is enough distinction to qualify Rahu.

  • Blair's father Leo was a working lawyer and university law professor, Rahu + Sravana Chandra dharma bhava. He was also an adopted child with a complex parentage (Rahu).

  • Leo Blair changed political affiliations and social theories quite radically (Rahu) while Tony was growing up.
  • Starting as a Young Communist, he had flipped (Rahu) to super-conservative High Tory by the time Tony was ten.

Surya = pitri-karaka and karaka for politics = exalted and country-loving but in the dushthamsha Vyayasthana. Tony's father Leo was deeply involved British politics but the father's involvement must be drained due to 12th-house vitality-dissolving effects. uchcha Surya/12 shows the father's charismatic personality (uchcha Mesha) yet convalescent hospitalization and withdrawal from family life from the perspective of young Tony.

As an adult, Tony Blair himself is a distinguished internationalist; compare to Bill Clinton's similar strong Ravi in 12, a king abroad while a bit of a fool at home. Strong Surya in 12 always gets the royal treatment when traveling in distant lands yet may be disregarded in the homeland.

Although not a star student - being more interested in theatre and general long-haired Rahu rebellion - young Tony nevertheless received a reasonable education in humanistic philosophy (9) including St. John's College at Oxford. His educational success was due more to his natural intelligence (house-5) than his conformist tendencies, but having Shani as Rahu's lord gave him adequate discipline to finish "uni" successfully and enter Law.

Attitude toward Marriage

Meena = navamsha lagna = marriage is a private (Meena) matter. The spouses share a bond of meditation and prayer, distant travel and a notably private relationship.

  • the native 's behavior in marriage = Guru/Vrishabha/1.

  • the native is concerned with self-indulgent expansion.

  • One may have a need whether personal or professional to develop secret relationships.

  • Naturally in the life of a prime minister become international diplomat , secret relationships are an essential way of doing business; therefore nothing untoward is mandated. However, marriage is dedicated largely to the procreation of children.

Guru rules no trine -- from neither lagna nor Chandra.

There is constant networking (11) with perpetual optimism (Guru) and high fleshly-driven muscular vitality (Mangala)

Guru-Guru swabhukti

  • Blair entered politics, winning his first seat by a substantial majority in 1983 - age 30.

  • Lord of 10th Dashamsha

Rahu yuti Chandra for him in radix while Rahu rises in Dashamsha has provided him a lifetime of contact with foreigners, and he suffers not a shred of xenophobia. Any Moon or Rahu period is likely to place him in juxtaposition to foreign cultural or religious ideals, immigration issues etc. He is superbly positioned to achieve good and popular solutions in the area of cultural conflicts.

Uchcha Surya with lagnesha Budha in randhra bhava house of secret societies makes Blair no stranger to cults and subversive movements. He is also well prepared to deal with these realities of backlash to globalization.

Shani-Shani swabhukti

  • Rahu brings a Great Leap Forward via religion

  • History would soon reveal that Blair's new religion would have political implications in his ongoing career, not the least of which is strategic alignment with the Vatican.

    "And now my friends,

    all that is true, all that is noble,

    all that is just and pure,

    all that is loveable and gracious,

    whatever is excellent and admirable -

    fill all your thoughts with these things."
