The native has an Iconic appearance, representing
a movement or an ideal.
Pitta or warm complexion, often golden-toned
(within their gene pool) with wavy hair.
Surya being karaka for father, Self and
soul-intelligence, expressing their rational self is crucially important
to Surya-rising identity. They are decisive, strong-willed, and can be
selfish.
Remarkably strong, charismatic position in Simha (Napoleon
Bonaparte, Rajiv Gandhi)
or Mesha (Rabindranath
Tagore) lagna.
May also yield great iconic strength after long
trials when Surya occupies Thula. However this position is always
volatile with an inherent inner weakness. (Hillary
Clinton,
M.
Reza Pahlavi)
-
Napoleon
Bonaparte had Surya + Mangala in Magha, rising in
Simha
lagna. He was said to have a "darkened goldish" aura.
-
M.
Reza Pahlavi (Shah of Iran) enjoyed parivartamsha exchange between a
Thula-Surya and a Simha-Shukra in 11, bringing enormous wealth and
capacity for global networking. He was ultimately brought down by
the solipsism which typically affects those with a brilliant rising
Sun.

Moon
George Harrison |
A phlegmatic constitution &
tremendous psycho-emotional sensitivity, with nurturing feminine attributes.
Very loving. Can be emotionally unstable; needs a grounded
partner. See Krishna-bhakti George Harrison for a powerful
L-10 Moon-rising in Thula lagna.
Moon being the karaka for Mother, their mothers & their own nurturing powers
are very important to their sense of self. |

"Pitta"
(bilious) body with black or reddish qualities to the overall complexion (red
tone can be in
the hair, skin, red marks, etc). This is an ambitious, athletic, productive, warrior-type.
Kuja in lagna tends to make the appearance
short-statured and dark-reddish. A certain belligerence and quick-response musculature
are part of the package.
Mars = the karaka for siblings &
competition.
Relationships with brothers & sisters as well as their own group-interactive
powers are very important to identity of the Mars-rising native.

Mercury
Hillary
Clinton
Mahatma Mohandas
Gandhi
Madonna |
Compact body form; youthful, verbal, & smart.
Tendency toward a fair, dry complexion.
However with the quick-changing Mercurial nature, we can't be sure about
appearance or character until we see which houses Mercury rules, counting
from both radix lagna and from Moon. The
entertainer Madonna has L-2
(speech, song, voice, face) and L-11(income, networks of friends, large complex
systems) Budha rising, in Simha lagna with
L-12 Moon. Hillary
Clinton has L-9 (theology, philosophy, ceremonial religion) and L-12
(foreign lands, dream-world, spying, prayer, enemies of marriage) Budha in
lagna. Budha rules 5th-from (intelligence) and 8th-from (secrets) her
Kumbha-Chandra. Mahatma Mohandas
Gandhi has L-9 (theology, philosophy, ceremonial religion) and L-12 (foreign
lands, dream-world, spying, meditation, enemies of marriage) Budha in lagna.
Budha rules 12th-from (foreign lands, meditation) and 3rd-from (teamwork,
communications) his Karkata-Chandra. |

Jupiter
Barack
Obama
Queen
Elizabeth II
Martin
Luther King Jr.
Jennifer
Aniston |
A
generously wide
"kapha" (lymph-ish) body, often slow-paced physically, but also
abundant,
curvaceous, fertile, &
full of good humor. Actor Marlon Brando had Jupiter rising.
Jupiter being the karaka for children &
wisdom, their offspring & their beliefs are very important to Guru-rising's
sense of self. Barack Obama
and Queen Elizabeth II both have
Guru in Makara ascendant. Queen
Elizabeth's Guru kapha effect is corrected by uchcha Kuja also rising, and
Barack Obama's kapha effect is corrected by thin, dry swakshetra Shani in his
radix lagna.
Martin
Luther King Jr. is a better example of the singular effect of Guru in lagna.
King, with Guru in Mesha lagna, had a
broad frame, and was starting to develop a thicker, more mature Guru appearance
when he was assassinated in the prime of life.
The fashion model and actress Jennifer
Aniston has L-7 Guru rising in Kanya
lagna, receiving drishti of her powerful 7th-house uchcha Shukra + Shani. Guru
has a way of maturing and thickening the body, so a constant and vigorous
regimen will be needed to maintain the svelte appearance of youth. The uchcha
Shukra drishti will maintain attractiveness, and the Shani drishti will continue
to define the bones. |

Venus
Mahatma Mohandas
Gandhi
Angelina
Jolie
Hillary
Clinton |
Attractive, with balanced facial features
& a nice body. Venus gives gentle, culturally conventional beauty; whereas Rahu
is psychically compelling. Females usually pretty; males pleasant and&
lifelong attractive to females.
Venus being the karaka for the male's spouse &
for sensual experience for both male and female, the native with Shukra
in lagna will find that being loved and pleasured is very important to their
sense of self. Venus in lagna attracts lots of
attention for their beauty and sensual qualities.
Angelina
Jolie has Venus rising not only in radix, but also in nearly all of
her varga charts.
Vladimir
(Volodya) Putin has the super-fair combination of Shukra in Thula
lagna
Mahatma Mohandas
Gandhi is a more complex appearance, due to lagna containing Shukra
+ Kuja + Budha. |

Saturn
Indira
Gandhi
Julia Child
Margaret
Thatcher
Jimmy
Carter
George W. Bush
Al Gore |
A bony,
swarthy, dark, tamasic or somber appearance relative to their gene pool. Usually a very practical person with
a heavy dose of common sense, strong affinity for their
craft & appreciation for the working classes. "French Chef" Julia Child and Indian President
Indira
Gandhi both had the bony appearance of Saturn rising.
Saturn being the karaka for work & duty,
public performance and dignity are usually very important to the Shani-rising
native's identity.
Compare: Margaret
Thatcher, Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush and
Al Gore. All have Vedic Saturn rising. Jimmy
Carter has uchcha Shani + Chandra in Thula
lagna. Chandra and Shani are friendly toward each other, and Chandra lends a
soft feminine psychic quality to Carter's aura. Maggie
Thatcher has uchcha Shani + Budha in Thula
lagna. Budha makes her chattier, more social, and able to engage in endless
political discussions. Although her mind is never far from the goal (Shani), she
quite likes to talk. G.W. Bush is a mixed
Shani personality. He has a ditzy combination of sweet Venus and chatty Mercury
with Shani in Karkata, making him much
more sociable, more handsome, and less pessimistic than the average Shani-lagna
type.
Gore's Shani is mixed with militant Mars.
Altho Kuja is a yogakaraka for Karkata
lagna, Kuja and Shani are never happy together. Make that double for Mangala
in His neechcha rashi. Gore is a hard worker but he has never been seen as a
friendly or easy-going guy. In fact, a famous TIME magazine cover cast him as
being downright mean! |

Rahu
Benito
Mussolini (mass murderer, dictator of fascist Italy)
U.S. Pres 41 George
H. W. Bush "Sr."
US Pres 33, Harry
Truman
Nikola Tesla (genius inventor)
Fidel
Castro (communist dictator of Cuba) |
A strange, compelling or fascinating beauty.
Native can be magnetically attractive, but
not in the conventional sense of passive or conventionally fashionable
prettiness.
-
Rahu + dark planets in lagna, e.g., Mangala or Shani, complexion will be attractively dark.
-
Rahu + fair
planets, Shukra or Budha, the complexion will be attractively light within the
range of the gene pool.
(Shukra attracts with rainbow-pastel
aura.)
Always a psychologically complex &
interesting person, often identified with foreign or taboo areas.
Benito
Mussolini had Rahu in Thula lagna, giving him (temporarily) the famous Thula
political leadership skills, and a handsome visage, but also the macabre Rahu
twist. (Rahu's lord Shukra in domain-8.) George
H. W. Bush has Rahu in Simha lagna, receiving 7th drishti of
warlike Kuja. Bush was most famous for trying to involve the USA in
"endless war" in the Gulf of Arabia. His appearance was interesting
but not lovely; he looks and acts aggressive under most circumstances. Fidel
Castro has Rahu in Mithuna lagna, Harry
Truman had Rahu in Kanya lagna,
Some interesting case studies of Rahu in
lagna include George
H. W. Bush (US President 41), Harry
Truman
(US President 33), Benito
Mussolini (dictator of fascist Italy) and Fidel
Castro (communist dictator of Cuba). Some distinguishing feature of these
nativities are their spectacular political, personal, and military
risk-taking coupled with massive self-enrichment. |

Ketu
Christopher
Reeve (actor) Jackie Kennedy
O Mother
Teresa |
Also attractive physically, but in an other-worldly
way. Frequently a shape-shifter, able to channel
whatever qualities that the public
wants to project upon them.
Appearance depends on Ketu's lord or other
rising planets, but tends to be muted, whitish, or greyish. Ketu is lagna
brings public attention. However Ketu is the karaka for
isolation & detachment. This native's public/private
compartmentalization is essential to their identity.
Fashion model Cindy Crawford, NASCAR racer
Dale Earnhardt, and the entertainer Michael
Jackson,all have Ketu rising. |
