Distinctive features of nativity:

  • he classic nodal trine (from Rahu or Ketu) usually found in the nativities of spiritual figures, is present in D-1 *and* D-9
  • parivartamsha yoga between two neechcha graha: fallen Chandra and fallen Kuja = powerful mutual neechcha-bhanga of Chandra and Kuja
(compare to same parivartamsha yoga for homas Jefferson and author Stephen King = psychologically penetrating insights)
  • Kuja and Guru control the most graha
  • Lord of Vimshamsha (D-20 for spirituality) occupies the radix lagna
  • L-3 Surya in domain-10 gives a media communications and mentality career
  • he dramatic spiritual unfolding occurs during the mahadasha of Lord of Navamsha (Shukra)
  • karakamsha is the house of relationships and agreements. Ram Dass is a genius of healing individual relationships.
  • Shani/7 in both D-1 and D-9 + Shukra-Kumbha-9 receives drishti of Shani + Shukra = L-7 from Chandra = never married.

"I was giving this lecture back in the 70's and everybody in those days wore white, and they had flowers in their hair and we sang a lot, and we were all - it was like an explorers club coming together, and sitting in the front row was this woman about 70 years old and she had - she had a bonnet on with little strawberries, plastic strawberries, and cherries and things and she had a black patent leather bag and solid oxfords and a print dress and she was a very - I kept thinking, she was so unlike everybody else in the audience, I kept thinking what is she doing here.

I thought maybe she's somebody's grandmother or somebody brought her or - so I would tell these far out stories that what happened to me under psychedelics for the most part or deep meditation, and I'd look over and she'd be going like this, and I thought well maybe she has a neck problem.

I mean it was inconceivable to me that she could understand what I was talking about, and she kept going like this and I kept getting more far out and watching - I mean the whole evening became focused on this woman.

And at the end I couldn't stand it, the evening was over.

And I just had to know and I kind of smiled her up - actually couldn't get away, and she came up and she said oh thank you that's - the way you said it she said that's just the way I understand the universe to be, and I said, how do you know?

What have you done in your life that has put you in the space where you know these things, and she leaned forward very conspiratorially and she said, I crochet, and that moment of realizing that just the simplest thing, that in the way she did that took her into those spaces and realizing at that moment that I had gotten so hooked on my method, and that methods are methods are methods and people do it all different kinds of ways..."
