Edgar Cayce ("kay-see") was a brilliant psychic reading and healer born in 1877 in a rural farm community to uneducated parents. He received a minimal formal education (8th grade) yet in a state of hypnosis he was able to communicate a worldview of tremendous insight and learning.

  • During his 67-yr lifetime, Cayce delivered approximately 20,000 readings, of which about 14,000 have been preserved.

  • He was a lifetime member of the Disciples of Christ community of Christian believers, and he read the Christian Bible once every year as a personal spiritual practice. Yet, under hypnosis, the readings gave no preference to Christian dogma and indeed recommended to those who requested readings that they look into past lives contextualized by many different world religions and a variety of belief systems.

  • The central constant in all of Cayce's readings is an insistence that all beings are seeking unification with the Divine, and that service - both his own and his beneficiaries - is the only viable path toward the realization of that union.

  • Cayce tried a number of business ventures in his life, believing like most men of his generation that wealth and public respect were the greatest service he could and should offer to his own family. However, as each of these ventures systematically failed and the attempts wore him out, Cayce eventually surrendered to the ethic of providing most of his readings for the benefit of healing the sick.

  • As a result, while Cayce's metaphysical and speculative-historical views are completely fascinating to many in later generations, the majority of Cayce's readings are medical. The cures he suggested while in trance are without exception simple on a chemical level yet most also involve some spiritual instruction regarding the elimination of toxic emotions.

    Edgar Cayce Vimshottari Dasha1Vimshottari dasha to be updated

    Edgar Cayce was a Sunday-School teacher, a father, a transmitter of mystical knowledge

    like 95% of their neighbors, his parents were tobacco farmers in 19th century Kentucky.

    In addition his father sold insurance to supplement his subsistence farming income (Surya L-6 poverty) and his mother taught Sunday-School (Chandra-3 instruction)

    maternal grandfather-farmer (2) was a dowser 9th backward from Chandra = Ketu-Magha

    arudha lagna = bhava-10 containing gulika-mandi = mystical revelation

    puna navamsha lagna = natural plant-based medicines

    brilliant clairvoyant who revealed massive amounts of previously hidden medical, historic, and psychic knowledge via the dreamlike trance state

    The cause of death for clairsentient healer Edgar Cayce has not been made public, although likely a sugar imbalance cause was effective. Cayce often complained of receiving too much attention and sometimes unable to rejuvenate (L-8 Shukra in 12, dissolution of transformation) himself after giving too many clairvoyant readings. Also he was "burned out" after channeling the bright light of truth for many years during exceptionally dark times of the Great Depression + the terrible violence of World-War-2.

    Cayce is considered "The Father of New Age Medicine"

    in much of the North American new age healing community.

    Edgar Cayce Vimshottari Dasha
    the eminent psychic reader and healer Edgar Cayce opened up a vast new world of energy medicine in the 1920's. Edgar Cayce took the rural American farm tradition (4) of plant-based remedies and food cures (Shukra, 4) and transformed it into the exciting body of knowledge called new-age medicine. Although his healings were extremely effective, especially in hopeless cases where the patients had been abandoned by their doctors, his techniques were disparaged by the conventional medical establishment. He helped thousands himself including saving people from terminal disease and disabling injury. Cayce set a new medical paradigm in motion in the WeSaint Yet, he died a poor man, owner of numerous failed businesses. Edgar Cayce despaired of his faith throughout his healing career. The clairsentiently channeled spiritual worldview he produced seemed to fly in the face of the humble biblical orthodoxy with which he was raised, which he trusted, and which showed the only path he knew toward inner peace. Yet practically every word of his intuitive readings revealed a cosmos vastly larger, older, and more complex than the simple version of history offered in his holy book. Lucifer, the devil, emerged as a being of Light. The reality Cayce was chosen to expose seemed anti-religious, and Cayce wanted more than anything to be a humble, religious man.

    "an increasing ability to serve is the only reliable sign of spiritual progress"

    ~~ Edgar Cayce -- Reading #3744-4

    "The strongest force used in the destiny of man is the Sun first,

    then the closer planets to the earth, or those that are coming to ascension at the time of the birth of the individual,

    but let it be understood here, no action of any planet

    or the phases of the Sun, the Moon or any of the heavenly bodies [may] surpass the rule of man's will power,

    the power given by the Creator of man, in the beginning, when he became a living soul,

    with the power of choosing for himself."

    ~~ Thomas Sugrue, There is a River. p 237-238

    "In this we see the plan of development of those individuals set upon this plane,

    meaning the ability to enter again into the presence of the Creator

    and become a full part of that creation"

    [Reading 3744-5]

    "All souls were created in the beginning,

    and are finding their way back to whence they came."

    Salient features of the nativity

    Atmakaraka and Karakamsha

    • Atmakaraka = significator of the soul = Shukra in occult bhava-8 = L-4 (education) L-11 (communities)

    • Karakamsha = rashi of the atmakaraka's navamsha = the activity for which one is best known = bhava-11 Vrishabha = value systems, distributive knowledge networks, scientific principles, electricity

    Arudha lagna

    • Arudha lagna = bhava-8 Kumbha = occult science

    • lord of Arudha lagna = Shani-Kumbha = electricity, conceptual science, social philosophies

    Lagna and Lagnesha

    • Karkata-lagna

    • Lagnesha = Mesha Chandra in 10, governance and leadership roles

    parivartamsha

    • none

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

    Kemadruma Yoga

    = no graha in the bhava 2nd-from or 12th-from Chandra, and Guru does not occupy 1,4, 7, or 10 from Chandra.

    Kemadruma yoga is relentless poverty maker which deprives the native of property ownership .

    Commonly found in saints or social activists who have surrendered their aspirations to ownership (see Mother Teresa of Kolkata, Shri Aurobindo, Pres France 1944-1946; 1959-1969 Gen. Charles de Gaulle).

    Yet also found in highly frustrated nativities of those who would prefer the comfort of middle-class life.

    • Cayce was bothered his entire life by his inability to own property or even save pennies for a rainy day. He died leaving a vast estate of spiritual and psychic knowledge, but he was personally penniless and his family had to scramble to survive.

    • "Additional financial insufficiency suggested by Ketu in dhana bhava, where Ketu's lord Surya moves the hoard of stored values (dhana) into the realm of religious action (9) with rather little material acquisition left for the family (2)

    Surya

    Meena Surya = L-2 from Karkata lagna and L -5 from Mesha-Chandra.

    • Meena Ravi accepts incoming Parashari drishti of YogakarakaL-5+L-10 Mangala

    • the native with Surya in a friendly Rashiin bhava-9 is usually a priestly, professorial (9) character. Mangala drishti adds a dose of genius (L-5 Kuja) and the capacity to lead an organization (L-10 Kuja).

    • Still, Surya has a downside = Karako bhavo nashto for one's own Father who is dominating and likely self-righteous with L-9 Guru in 6.

    • Challenging planetary periods:

      • Surya occupies the 8th-from-Ketu and the 12th-from-Chandra. Therefore expect some losses and upset in periods of Ketu-Surya and Chandra-Surya.

      • Also, four graha (Shani, Shukra, Rahu, and Budha) occupy the 12th-from-Surya. The Vimshottari periods of Surya-Shani, Surya-Shukra, Surya-Rahu, and Surya- Budha will all manifest a sense of dissolution or loss of the public admiration (Surya).

      • Also, Ketu occupies 6th-from-Surya. Animosity and illness are likely in areas of politics (socially) and the heart-spine (physically) during this bhukti of Surya-Ketu.

      • The remedy for troubles during these difficult periods = not a gem but rather Seva (selfless service).

        • In particular, personal difficulties can be assuaged by selecting as the recipient of service those who have a slightly worse version of one's own karmic dilemma. In this case, the difficulties can be released through service offered to those who suffer a weakness in public approval (Surya in 12th from Chandra) or those who are feeling overwhelmed by the burden of representing (Surya) occult teachings (Ketu).

    Chandra

    Mesha-Chandra = lagnesha from Karkata lagna and L-4 from Mesha-Chandra.

    Chandra occupies bhava-10. Lagnesha Bharani -Chandra in 10 = a hard-working, load-bearing leader.

    • Lagnesha Chandra in karma bhava promotes the native to a high level of public visibility. Lagnesha Bharani-Chandra in 10 is a hard-working, load-bearing leader. Compare to the similar karkata-mesha nativity of Prince Charles Windsor.

    • Soma takes drishti of both expansive Guru and regulatory Shani .

      • Expect dramatic expansion (such as the birth of children) in Guru periods, with contraction of focus and emotional restraint during the Shani periods which immediately follow Guru periods.

      • It may seem as if each intuitive expansion is taken away during the subsequent accountability contraction, but in fact looking at the big picture, each expansion is then regulated and contained by principle immediately after its occurrence, and this leads to the development of large organization of people who are adequately related by rules nevertheless still highly intuitive (Chandra).

    • Chandra occupies bhava-10, which is a dignified house but not a trinal house. One of the problems with strength in bhava-10 is the function of dissipation of earnings, which occurs because 10 = 12th-from-11. Therefore Chandra while not weak by lordship generates a certain correctable weakness in material gainfulness (loss to matters of 11). Pearl will help to mitigate this loss.

    • Challenging planetary periods:

      • Chandra does not occupy the 6th, 8th, or 12th position in regard to any graha. Therefore periods of Chandra are likely to proceed smoothly.


      Lagnesha Chandra in bhava-10makes the native well-known in public and famous for their kindness:

        [Das/Behari]

        • "You will be a great benefactor of humanity. Reflecting clearly what plan unfolds for different people and the sufferings they all have to experience, the Moon will impress on you how best to guide them.

        • You may not be a great oracle or seer, but you will be a person who personifies compassion, who will sympathetically encourage those in distress to persist on the path of righteousness.

        • Your relationship with society will be harmonious and you will receive much regard from the people. Your personal life may not be a bed of roses, but to others you will make life worth living, instilling in them the spirit of fortitude and optimism."

    Mangala

    Dhanusha Mangala = Yogakaraka L-5 and L-10 from Karkata lagna and L-1+L-8 from Mesha-Chandra.

    • competitive, dominating, innovative Mangala + His lord, generous teacher L-6+L-9 Guru .

      • Intense engagement with the human service ministries of medicine and human conflict, extraordinary expansion of knowledge in philosophy (Guru) of conflict and servitude.

      • Mangala becomes a weak benefic (weakness via L-8 from Chandra) . Capable of strengthening via Flawless Red Coral

        Challenging planetary periods:

        • Mangala does not occupy the 6th, 8th, or 12th position in regard to any graha. Therefore the periods of Mangala are likely to proceed smoothly.

    Budha

    Kumbha-Budha = L-3+L-12 from the Karkata lagna and L-8+L-11 from Mesha-Chandra.

    • Kumbha Budha receives Parashari drishti of Parashari drishti of Rahu the Amplifier.

    • communicative Budha + aesthetically scientific assembly-loving Shukra + highly lawful distributive-networks (Kumbha) mulatrikona Shani + mystical Ketu in randhra bhava, the house of revealing secrets and forced change of identity = a remarkable package of mystical-scientific shaman-style revelation

    • Budha does not rule a trinal house from either lagna or Chandra. Everything that needs to be articulated will be troublesome, will little approval or ease.

    • Budha's communicative style can reach the masses (Kumbha) despite the occult nature of the transmission (8)

    • Budha's combined role as L-3 (sales, writings, publications) from lagna and L-12 (imagination, Trance) from Chandra can create a good self-owned business that uses the flow of imagination (12) to generate a narrative published in books, films, etc.

      • Compare to Karkata-lagna natives such as authors Maya Angelou, Stephen King, Alice Bailey (20th cen esoteric author), Al Gore, Jr. whose imaginative texts including speeches, books and articles, documentary films, etc. sold very well. (Budha = L-3+L-12)

      • Challenging planetary periods:

        • Budha occupies the 12th-from-Surya. Therefore expect some loss of vitality and public admiration (Surya) during the Vimshottari periods of Surya-Budha

        • The remedy for troubles during this period = not a gem but rather Seva (selfless service). In particular, personal difficulties can be assuaged by selecting as the recipient of service those who have a slightly worse version of one's own karmic dilemma.

    Guru

    Dhanusha-Guru = lord of 6 and 9 from Karkata lagna; 9 and 12 from Mesha-Chandra.

    • Guru = "double L-9" = a very auspicious combination indeed

    • Guru yuti Yogakaraka L-5+L-10 Mangala in the house of medicine (6) = a positive and highly energized combination for medical teaching

    • Guru accepts no incoming drishti.

    • Guru = lord of the navamsha and the 10th navamsha: clearly and indubitably a teacher. Budha occupies the navamsha lagna + Rahu = exotic and culturally disruptive spiritual communications.

    • Guru = benefic as the lord of dharma bhava from the lagna and from Chandra; yet Guru is also the very difficult lord of conflict and illness (6). Furthermore, 12th from Chandra indicates loss of emotional vitality through excessive channeling of imaginative (astral, dream, psychic) knowledge.

      • Guru's portfolio benefits considerably from assistance via Yellow Sapphire , but as lord of bhava-6 Brihaspati's work is powerfully manifest through human service ministry.

      • the native will find that a clear and confident acceptance of a very large scale (Guru) and very dynamic (Mangala) ministry will allow one to transfer ultimate responsibility to the Divine; while one pursues the service granted through inherited medical knowledge and extraordinary capacity to teach.

      • Challenging planetary periods:

        • Guru does not occupy the 6th, 8th, or 12th position in regard to any graha. Therefore the periods of Guru are likely to proceed smoothly.

    Shukra

    Kumbha-Shukra =lord of 4 and 11 f rom Karkata lagna; 2 and 7 from Mesha-Chandra.

    • Kumbha-Shukra in the rashi of friendly Shani

    • Shukra accepts receives Parashari drishti of Rahu the Amplifier.

    • communicative Budha + aesthetically scientific assembly-loving Shukra + highly lawful distributive-networks (Kumbha) mulatrikona Shani + mystical Ketu in randhra bhava, the house of revealing secrets and forced change of identity = a remarkable package of scientific techniques for achieving balance And harmony

    • Shukra rules no trikona.

    • Challenging planetary periods:

      • Challenging periods: Shukra occupies the 12th-from-Surya. Therefore expect some loss of vitality and public admiration (Surya) during the Vimshottari periods of Surya-Shukra

      • The remedy for troubles during this period = not a gem but rather Seva (selfless service). In particular, personal difficulties can be assuaged by selecting as the recipient of service those who have a slightly worse version of one's own karmic dilemma.

    Shani

    Kumbha-Shani = L-7+L- 8 from Karkata lagna; L-10 + L-11 from Mesha-Chandra; and L-11+L-12 in navamsha.

    • Shani receives incoming Parashari from generous Guru .

    • communicative Budha + aesthetically scientific assembly-loving Shukra + highly lawful distributive-networks (Kumbha) mulatrikona Shani + paradigm-challenging Rahu in randhra bhava, the house of revealing secrets and forced change of identity = a remarkable package of break-through principled science

      Shani is especially strong in Mulatrikona Kumbha

    • Shani is not a weak benefic because He does not rule any trinal house As counted from either Karkata lagna nor from Mesha Chandra.

    • Challenging planetary periods:

      • Shani occupies the 12th-from-Surya. Therefore expect some loss of vitality and public admiration (Surya) during the Vimshottari periods of Surya-Shani

      • The remedy for troubles during this period = not a gem but rather Seva (selfless service). In particular, personal difficulties can be assuaged by selecting as the recipient of service those who have a slightly worse version of one's own karmic dilemma.

      • Shani in randhrasthana nearly always indicates a long life, and consciousness until the last moment.

      • "...keeps you alert till the last breath: gets premonitions, esp. if 4th or 5th house is occupied by malefics. A benefic in these houses will keep you unconscious in your last moments." (Das)

    RAHU

    Kumbha-Rahu = Rahu in bhava-8 gives the effect of Lord Shani

    • Rahu in a rashi of the Shani the Occult scientist provides tantrik revelation of entire systems which are paradigm-challenging and controvert the existing customs.

    • Rahu being Shani's enemy, the cotenancy of Rahu with Shani is uncomfortable. the native would undoubtedly have preferred to live a more conventional life; in particualr to have been the exponent of more conventional scientific system. But such is destiny.

    • Moderately gainful during Chandra period, as Rahu occupies the gainful 11th-from-Soma

    • Challenging planetary periods:

      • Rahu occupies the 12th-from-Surya. Therefore expect some loss of vitality and public admiration (Surya) during the Vimshottari periods of Surya-Rahu

      • The remedy for troubles during this period = not a gem but rather Seva (selfless service). In particular, personal difficulties can be assuaged by selecting as the recipient of service those who have a slightly worse version of one's own karmic dilemma.

    KETU

    Simha-Ketu = Ketu in bhava-2 gives the effect of L-2 Surya who is also lord of the 6th navamsha = financial strictures of the wife

    • Ketu's lord Surya is not a weak benefic, and Ketu is problematic for the householder. Ketu's lord Surya moves the hoard of stored values (dhana) into the realm of religious action (9) with rather little material acquisition left for the family (2)

    • Vimshottari periods of Ketu in the house of speech will bring prophetic announcements and uncommon knowledge of history.

      Challenging planetary periods:

      • Ketu occupies the 6th-from-Surya. Therefore expect some notable imbalance in the area of political adversaries, licensing of intellectual and possible ailments of the heart and spine (Simha) during Vimshottari periods of Surya-Ketu

      • The remedy for troubles during this period = not a gem but rather Seva (selfless service). In particular, personal difficulties can be assuaged by selecting as the recipient of service those who have a slightly worse version of one's own karmic dilemma.
