This native feels most at home - in youthful environments, physical competitions, in combat or hunting, in the center of attention for one's expertise or specialty.


Identified strongly with the physical form & the independent self.  Wants to be in a body-attentive environment, such as on a theatrical stage, modeling, working as an athlete, in sports industry, or as a warrior. Sees oneself as unique, exceptional, & ever-youthful. Associated with body-image transformations such as plastic surgery & gender change.

Can be identified with bodily protection roles such as bodyguard, safety expert, or risk control (especially if Shani is involved.) Highly individualistic and distinctively self-referrential. One believes that one is modeling to others the "self-determined life".


Native has a strong self-image, focus, and drive toward achieving recognition for the characteristics of the graha(s) occupying lagna. Physical body appearance receives much attention -- positive or negative as the grahas determine. The native is often photographed and their image becomes iconic for a movement, a product, an era, or an idea.

Lagnesha in

House 2


UK-PM Winston Churchill

Pres. of France, Charles de Gaulle

USA Pres 40, Ronald Reagan

Brad Pitt (actor)

Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Fidel Castro (communist dictator)

Karl Marx (philosopher of political economy)

Julia Roberts (actress)

 

This native feels most at home - with one's own cultural group and one's extended family. The native has a strong social identification with historic values of one's family or cultural lineage; and physically, with the voice, teeth, tongue, eyes, hair and facial appearance. In particular one is marked to give speeches.

Famous speech-makers: Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaull, Fidel Castro, Karl Marx, Martin Luther King, Jr.

Some day, Brad Pitt  will distinguish himself in this speech-making specialty.

Identified with domains of historical knowledge,  speech, knowledge and use of languages, wealth, family, value systems of all kinds.  Socially identified with to family customs, lineage, traditions. Replicates the family culture they were raised in, within their own family, and usually wants to create their own family for this purpose of grounding & affirming the Self. (periods of L-5 & Guru will identify the era of children.)


Wants to be telling stories, building wealth (often as "cultural capital"), representing & articulating historically superior ethical values, passing along lineage traditions. Believes he is a curator of society's highest & most worthy moral and aesthetic graces, whose life choices exemplify "authentically beautiful living".


Their sense of beauty however is not always the public standard but rather what their family practiced aesthetically while growing up. The nature of this beauty norm will appear in the graha itself. E.g., if the graha happens to be a strong Shukra, the beauty norm will be quite refined, and the native will enjoy family wealth, lineage art & music talent etc.

By contrast a neechha Guru, without correction from other beneficial support, might create too many children in poverty and disorder... or somehow Guru's expansion & abundance becomes aesthetically dysfunctional. But whether it is easy or difficult, attractive or disarrayed,  the attachment to family is strong when lagnesha occupies domain-2.


Native is  physically & socially identified with money, provisions, historic cultural values, & family legacy behaviors. Face, speech, & hair are socially recognized. Excellent for celebrity persons. Musical and artistic abilities.

Naturally seeks the domains of group/team communication: the business office, conference table, the meeting room. This person identifies with skills training short-term education, media presentations (delivering speeches & reports, writing memos, issuing recommendations etc.)

Short-term travel ("business trips") defines one's social worth, one feels validated when traveling to participate in small decision-making groups.

JFK, Jr. (publisher)

entrepreneur, home fashions Ivana Trump

Rudolf Steiner  anthroposophist, esoteric educator

USA Pres 28, Woodrow Wilson

USA Pres 16, Abraham Lincoln

This native feels most at home when at home :) Strong identification with the childhood home, with education, the land of one's people, and with shelters that provide social, emotional, and financial security. 

Deeply patriotic. In the evolved nativity, one may be able to grasp that one's nation is all mankind and thus protective patriotism is extended to the peoples (esp children) of all lands. Cf. Bill Gates, Woodrow Wilson

If the graha is favorable & proactive, native is associated with landed property. Identity is strongly invested in cultural roots of the mother's people. If the graha is inauspicious, there may be disruption of ties to the land & the customs of one's people, making the issue of property an embattled one, but a strong reactive relationship to one's roots & customary entitlements nonetheless.

Natural in roles of socializing educator and parent.


Most comfortable in the home, on the land, in the classroom. Self-identifies as a parent & also a teacher. Great concern for proper indoctrination and preparation of the next generation of citizens; thus (proportional to strength of the graha) greatly concerned with stable and productive education. 

  • E.g., Bill Gates philanthropic support for worldwide early childhood security, health and education.

Tends to be a homebody, preferring the protected space of their home, monastery cell, or their own little spot in the corner of the grass hut. Naturally prefers to be sought out; will not advertise or promote himself. However, once brought to the stage, is a natural educator who may be highly persuasive (Gates, uchcha Budha).

Creates safe space & channels nurturing energy, very parental. Identifies socially with the mother & her people. If a profession is required, he will be an educator, homebuilder, property manager or steward of the land. 

If lagnesha is powerful such as uchcha Budha or swakshetra Guru, native may never leave home.  People will come to him. Believes he is "caretaker of the hearth" who exemplifies "securely grounded living". (Steiner's Shukra-Makara = earth-protector, natural early childhood educator.)

If the lagnesha in domain-4 receives inauspicious drishti, the ruler is unfavorable, or lagnesha has troublesome co-tenants ( Elizabeth Taylor) the native may not easily find the sense of home and parenting which they find most comfortable.


Native is physically & socially identified with property, land ownership/stewardship, roots, socialization, sheltering, gardening, homes, pastures, childhood education, and patriotic values. Recognition for their steady character and solid conventional behaviors.

One feels most at home when engaged in creative activity, giving audiences, speculating, gambling, authoring, directing, acting, orating, playing games, being on stage.


Identifies with domains of literary & performance arts, gambling, & politics. Prefers a creative environment such as a theatrical stage, art gallery, music amphitheatre, university lecture hall, or political campaign where their personal genius is applauded.  See oneself as a speculator, winner, genius.

Admires & identifies with expressions of individual genius, especially via writings. Likes holding court, being authoritative & theatrical; needs attention, recognition, & applause. Believes that one is a "role model for creative, intelligent living".

Native is physically & socially identified with one's own children, with young people in general, with literature, with speculative thought, and with romantic love. Social recognition for their skill in games, their literary and dramatic creativity. 


If the lagnesha is fortunate, the brilliant intelligence of Divine Love may shine through this native. May be a splendid independent teacher, rarely found in a conventional schoolroom. Best results for Mesha  lagna, Simha lagna, Thula  lagna, Vrischika lagna, Dhanau lagna, Makara lagna, Meena  lagna. 

If lagnesha is unfortunate, the native may become "addicted to praise" and may pander to the  the expectations of others. Poor results for Vrishabha lagna, Karkata lagna. Drishti of Shani will harm any graha in domain-5 the natural house of Ravi. Drishti of a friendly graha will always help.

The native feels "appropriate" when using definitions of moral error from bodies of argumentation and advice such as religious scripture or government law.  

When punitive graha such as Shani are the lagnesha, may be a wonderful fire-and-brimstone preacher. Deeply identified with "sin" or imbalance, and its vigorous correction. Believes one is called to be a "role model for correctly argued and regulated living."


Native is physically & socially identified with medicines, illness, poverty, finance/loan-making, social work & family conflict, police work & crime, exploitation & animosity of all kinds.

King Birendra of Nepal

USA Senator Edward "Teddy" Kennedy

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Virginia Woolf (novelist)

UK-PM Tony Blair

Lisa Marie Presley (entertainer)

110. Deha-kashta Yoga "difficulty for the body"

  • deha = to plaster , mould , fashion) the body; to support the body

  • kaSTa = bad ; ill , evil , wrong ; painful ; grievous , severe , miserable; difficult , troublesome ah! woe! alas! 

Definition.—The lord of Lagna must join a malefic or occupy the 8th house.

Results.—The subject will be devoid of bodily comforts.

Remarks.—... Most of the manual workers belong to this category.  The Yoga is said to become defunct if a benefic aspects the ascendant lord.


JFK - Malefic Shani casts drishti upon lagnesha Budha. JFK had severe and lifelong body pain, due to spinal disorders.

Jackie Kennedy - lagnesha = swakshetra Shukra, in domain-8 with benefic Guru. Deha-kashta yoga does not apply.

  Tony Blair - while not public knowledge, Deha-kashta yoga suggests that lagnesha Budha-Mesha may cause some pain in the hands, or related to a blood disorder.


The native carries a strong social identification with the circumstances of sudden death.

If lagnesha is a strong malefic or associated with a malefic (esp Rahu)  the native may be employed in emergency services, such as first-responder in fire, police, military, or medical intervention services.

This native feels most at home in secret meetings, handling confidential or volatile materials, in tantric practice, in secret discovery modes. 

Wants to be in domains where hidden matters are revealed, where healings occur as secrets are brought to the surface.  The psychiatrist's office, psychic reading room, stock market trading desk, oil drilling and mining,  treasure hunter diving ship, police detective, archeological dig are all appropriate to his identification with concealed matters.  

Attracted to state secrets, confidential power knowledge, great movements of the cycle of birth & death. Good for handling wills & estates; distribution of joint assets of marriage after divorce; managing state secrets.  A wonderful midwife or shamanistic healer.


Prone to marital infidelity (unless house-7 is strong) because they are so bodily identified with exploration & secrets. A highly sexual person; prone also to undiagnosable disease

Often inherits legacy wealth. Will use the wealth for purposes consistent with the character of the lagnesha. (E.g., Kuja or Surya, self-promoting purposes. Shani, conservative investments, esp. in earth properties.)

Can be a remarkable tantriki or magician esp. if enlightened to control the sexual powers; possessed of divinatory & manipulative skills due to reading hidden patterns, when the lagnesha is strong esp. Mesha, Vrishabha, or Dhanau rising. Marvelous esoteric scholar & psychic healer. He believes himself to exemplify "enriching, transformative living."


Native is physically & socially identified with secret transactions, including private investments, confidential therapeutic privilege, & classified diplomatic information.

  • Uchcha Surya =  lagnesha for Dale Earnhardt the race-car celebrity. The huge NASCAR races are essentially religious ceremonies which are held on Vishnu's day: Sundays. 

  • Damaged lagnesha trying to fulfill the guru role = Rush Limbaugh

  • Uchcha Shani lagnesha in house-9 defines the authentic guru role of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, the great exponent of institutional (Shani) compassion (9) for the dying.

Lagnesha in House 11


M. Reza Pahlavi, Shah of Iran

entrepreneur, homewares Martha Stewart

Ted Turner, media mogul

USA Pres 39, Jimmy Carter

USA Pres 43, Bill Clinton

Baba Ram Dass

Guru Ammachi

Rev. Jerry Falwell (ultra-conservative, divisive preacher)

Elvis Presley entertainer

This native feels most at home when actively networking and gaining links of profitable association. The native is comfortable and successful in commercial and community organizations, in large social groups and assemblies, at "fund-raisers", and in the marketplace of goods & ideas. 

Common placement for the principled and well-connected social progressive activist, e.g. AmmachiBill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Ted Turner, M. Reza Pahlavi (in his early days), Jerry Falwell (although anti-progressive, a very successful social-political networker).

Wants to be in the marketplace, creating new markets and opportunities through regular and reliable links, making a profit, in large social organizations, in associations & networks, making connections between people & ideas, going to parties, organizing events. 


Notably inclusive, connective, & egalitarian in attitude, the native seeks to mix with people of all social classes & create strategic relationships between groups. Identifies with the common man, the hoi-polloi, the masses. Likes to create large organizations which bear their identity. (Ammachi, Martha Stewart, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Ted Turner,  Jerry Falwell, Ram Dass in later days)

 Feels appropriate as a purveyor of commodities or shared ideas.  

One is a scientific actor who marshals resources then systematically distributes the goods.

If lagnesha is amplified by Rahu here, likes pyramid schemes & home-selling networks; can promote these with missionary zeal. Believes he is engaged in generating "equality, opportunity, and full enfranchisement for everyman" (whilst of course earning his own commission.) If lagnesha is severely damaged can deal profitably in evil, such as prostitution or drugs.


Native is physically & socially identified with large assemblies, networks of associations, networks of ideas and electronic signals, connectivity on every level. Recognized for their ability to coordinate marketplace activities and their gainfulness. Widely known and socially active. 

Elvis Presley identified with the huge assemblies who crowded his concerts and the "mela" scene in Las Vegas. The native is happy when moving from large event to large event. One may take a directing role but one may just as easily mix with the crowd.

Lagnesha in House 12


Madonna

Jack Welch (billionaire businessman)

Henry Ford (automobile mogul)

UK-Duchess Camilla Parker-Bowles-Windsor

This native feels most at home - in his own imagination, in the liminal space between life & death.

The native has a strong social identification with private, sequestered locations and foreign lands, which trait will emerge most vividly during the Vimshottari mahadasha period of the lagnesha.

Wants to be in an enclosed, sanctuary space: bedroom, dormitory, attic, a spa, ashram, hospital, monastery - or prison, concentration camp, survivalist compound - any walled enclosure.  Wants very high levels of privacy in all undertakings, both personal and professional. If other graha will bring the native into high profile public life, the lagnesha in 12 says that this native's creative process, decision-making, and core relationships are conducted in a very private space preliminary to one's appearance on the world stage.

Likes the peaceful courtyard, the ordered space of the meditation hall, the interior compound, the super-private meeting room. 

Socially identified with the domain of subconscious imagery, fantasy, dreams, & out-of-body creativity. 


If lagnesha is strong (see Madonna and Jack Welch = powerful lagnesha parivartamsha yoga) native can be a dramatic articulator of the collective imagination.

If Surya gains celebrity strength [Madonna, Jack Welch]  one may be a wonderful entertainer and brilliant or iconic genius.

If Shukra [Madonna] is involved, may be a seductive temptor/temptress into a world of forbidden, private delights. 

The native is greatly inclined toward "bed pleasures" when lagnesha occupies domain-12. Naturally, domain-12 being 6th-from-7th, the unboundaried activities in this house are known for their animosity toward the boundaried contract of marriage.

Yet one rarely achieves emotional intimacy of genuinely shared partnership, due to being so identified with the world inside one's own head. 

One feels appropriately engaged during long sojourns in foreign countries, where one acts out a dream-persona of foreign cultural behaviors. One believes that one is "making dreams come true" in exemplary "fantastic, imaginative living".


Native is physically and socially identified with events which constitute a loss of personal identity, merging into the collective unconscious or the corporate mind, espionage, foreign lands, meditation, art studios, illusions, research laboratories, prisons & camps, sanctuary & enclosure.

A private person, but one may nevertheless be responsible for managing essential world energies. Can be either prayerful or deranged or both.

Not inclined toward seeking public recognition unless there are other, highly dynamic, graha in lagna.

Two examples of nativity with the normally retiring lagnesha in 12, which nonetheless possess very large doses of social-personality activity through graha in lagna in parivartamsha yoga =

  •  Madonna Surya + Chandra + Budha + Shukra

  •  Jack Welch  Kuja + Rahu + Guru + Surya

  

In all your designs you will succeed, and light will shine on your path. ~~ Job 22:28
