Navamsha and Career Profile
Example = chicken farmer and businessman Dale Earnhardt
Dale Earnhardt,the famed American NASCAR racer.
tenth navamsha = Makara = lord Shani
When Shani rules the 10th navamsha, the native works in a lawful, regular, respectable profession which is necessary for the maintenance of the social order.
Makara professions are step-wise ascending, materialistic, pragmatic, bureaucratic, commonplace, and structured. They favor a conventional, recognizable, and generally modest public reputation. Shani as lord of 10th navamsha is associated with careers which manage the social hierarchy,
-
keeping the stepwise classes in place at their assigned tasks,
-
governance roles in local, regional, or national bureaucracies,
-
work with public institutions -- even at the global level, if the work is legislative or regulatory
-
common but respected jobs that require structure and regularity such as agriculture and building construction,
-
or working on behalf of the rule of law in any capacity such as public interest attorney, tax collector, bank regulator, agricultural inspector, or service manager.
Swamsha does indicate his life's passions being extremely strong and dramatic = Rahu in heroic Mesha.
However, in real life, Dale Earnhardt was a chicken farmer.
-
In fact, he was a fairly large-scale chicken farmer - indeed a top-producing supplier - which qualifies his farming as "agribusiness"
Another large portion of his professional behavior was dedicated to the management of business-product endorsement contracts (L-7 Shani, 10th from 10th) . Although the character of the products necessarily appealed to Earnhardt's proletarian audience (Kumbha) his majority profession consisted not of racing per se but rather of the business management (Makara) of his farms and his endorsement contracts.
Shani's professional affiliations in D-1 =
-
Shani = L-6 and L-7 from Simha lagna = divorce, debts, injuries (6) + marriage, alliance, contracts (7)
-
Shani = L-12 and L-1 from Kumbha Chandra = imagination (12) + identity (1)
-
Shani occupies maraka bhava-2 = voice, face = Earnhardt's face was used in much of his business dealing
-
Earnhardt was publicly associated with Shani-type crash injuries, which involve limits and structures such as concrete walls
-
His recognizability with the working-class crowds of his huge fan base was also strengthened by publicity re: his marriages and divorces (6 and 7) with their Rahu-amplified volatility (Rahu + Chandra-7).
-
Shani is of course a mahamaraka for the Simha lagna,
-
Krittika Nakshatra in navamsha lagna = ruled by Surya = heat, competition, expectation of success, dominating
-
Rahu in navamsha lagna= Mesha = a powerfully amplified athletic passion for "pushing the envelope" in extreme competitive conditions.
-
Challenging the cultural boundariesof heat, speed and metals
-
lord of navamsha lagna = Kuja= sport, hunt, race, run
D-1 10th radix
-
D-1 tenth lord swakshetra = L-3 + L-10 Shukra= events, planning, marketing, sensually attractive image-making (3) + high-visibility public profile (10)
-
The 10th radix must be empowered to create a public figure.
-
Strong Shukra-Vrishabha + Shukra-10 = native becomes well known to the public
-
Perhaps not surprisingly given the strength of Shukra, Earnhardt enjoyed great popularity with female fans - a rarity in those days of heavily male-dominated car racing
-
10th-from-10th = Kumbha = one-to-many relationship with large, proletarian assemblies.Earnhardt's reputation was built in the environment of car rallies and races, huge crowds, and a sport which appealed to the masses.
-
Rahuadds the quality of "rule-breaker" attraction.
-
Rahu-yuti-Chandrais excitable, taboo-breaking or cultural-boundary challenging. In Kumbha, appeal to the working class, underclass, manual laborers. Challenging speed records. Automobile driving is a culturally common activity (Kumbha = the masses); Rahu "pushes the envelope" to push "normal" into a fiercely competitive, dangerous, crowd-pleasing sport.
-
D-1 seventh lord Shani/Kanya = occupies bhava-2, the house of death. Earnhardt's cool competence and calculated risk management (Kanya) in the face of death was a big part of his appeal (and longevity). Another implication of Shani/Kanya/2 is that the family history is cold and critical.
Lagna - 1st radix
-
These people have a scattered, permeable, mystically detached aura that will accept any projection of the collective unconscious. The rashi of Ketu provides some clues about the nature of the most likely projections. Ketu in Simha = Earnhardt was treated as a dynastic king by his fans.
-
Still, Makara containing Shani on the 10th navamsha indicates that Earnhardt saw his own career in much more realistic terms. He was a conventional businessman involved with agribusiness and product contracts.
-
-
Compare to Mother Teresa (Vrischika =collective projection =intense healing transformation, conditions of death) or Jackie Kennedy Onassis (Thula = collective projection = grace harmony diplomacy architectural design).
-
swakshetra Kuja + uchcha Surya + Budha
-
Kuja = intense, hot competition; "need for speed"; and a huntsman's pursuit of the quarry (Kuja)
-
Kuja = Bharani Nakshatra = hard work and discipline, seeks respect of the elders, known for for craft and responsible work
-
L-11+L-2 Budha = gainfulness /wealth, large assemblies, marketplace behavior (paid endorsements), strong influence of family history, and talk of death
-
uchcha Surya = warrior hero, military genius (tactical and strategic), and kingship .
-
Earnhardt's father was his extraordinary racing guru.
-
total effect of this package = a driving need to win and kingly success in competition.
Linked from Kuja lord of navamsha lagna, Radix Mesha provides the career physical environment of steel, fire, and speed.
