Distinctive features of the Nativity

• the classic nodal trine (from Rahu or Ketu) usually found in the nativities of spiritual figures, is present in D-1

• Rahu trine for extraordinary life path and fame as a great teacher is present in D-1.

• Chandra in tanu-bhava-1

• the magnificent rising Moon in Magha lagna signifies spiritual kingship through the high priesthood of Magha.

• Death in Rahu/Ketu/Mangala period: 07-March-1952, age 59.

• Lords of 4, 5, 8 and 9 occupy the tantrik, transformative 8th-from-Chandra.

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 dogma

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

For Yogananda, the extraordinary father-guru function of Rahu-9 gives the effect of yogakaraka Mangala in magical-8, use of secret texts and rituals, emphasis on psychic empowerment

• there are many hidden practices and the relationship with his Guru swami Shri Yukteshwar Giri is extraordinary to say the least

Rahu drishti to Surya (faith), Chandra (emotion, bhakti), Budha (gesture and word, explanations and instructions)

L-5 Guru and the L-9 Mangala = King-makers of Raja Yoga =yuti +exceptionally strong in a super-friendly rashi of Guru

• but the king-maker pair occupies bhava-8, the house of tantra, magic, self-destruction and re-birth.

• A king due to L-5 + L-9 (+ L-1 Surya in putra bhava = genius)

  • but the expression of kingship is entirely in the world of mysteries, hidden forces, and sudden upheavals of catastrophic force.

• Magical initiations due to Guru + Kuja in Ayur-bhava.

• Mangala gives a relatively brief lifetime and a sudden death.

L-12 Chandra in Simha lagna

• The native is strongly identified matters of vyaya bhava such as the bridge between the astral world and the material world, dreams, meditation and sanctuary spaces such as monasteries and healing enclosures.

The two benefics Guru and Shukra bless this incarnation with broad influence.

• Lagnesha Surya + Budha in putra bhava denies children, but grants extraordinary capacity to channel divine intelligence. A wonderful teacher but not the conventional schoolmarm. Teaches according to one's own knowledge. L-1 in putra bhava = karaka for authorship, esp. biography (writing about one's own self).
