Vocation 10 George Harrison, Beatle 1943 - 2001  Musician & Media Producer this reading is Almost :) Finished The birth-time of 23:52:19 on 24-Feb-1943 (War Time) is a reported rectification by Harrison's personal Jyotishi.  (Harrison's recorded BT = 00:05 hrs on 25-Feb-1943.) Death = age 58 = 29-Nov-2001 at 1:30 am in Los Angeles. Rising Degree of the Navamsha Lagna = 05 Dhanau (Sagittarius).    According to M. C. Jain in The Stars and your Future, (p 110) 5 Dhanau = the "Degree of Mysticism": "Denotes one of a melancholic, retiring, and occult nature who is drawn to a life of austerity and whose search is for hidden grail which holds the nectar of life and supreme knowledge.  He is religious and sincere, but he should be careful lest his peculiar attitude or method of approaching the secret should hide it from his view, as the dark cloudbank hides the rays of the Sun. ...." Beatle and Vaishnava George Harrison developed a legendary career in world-transformative music and film.   This review of Harrison's Jyotisha chart is offered  with love and respect to his guiding spirit. Distinctive features of the Nativity Majority of houses in D-1 and D-9 are owned by the benefics, Guru and Shukra. lagnesha uccha Shukra in domain-6 = both  a gifted musician and artist, and also a person with drug addiction issues,  and perpetual conflict due to inability to achieve lasting agreements in the realm of art & music. Thula lagna = karaka for public success due to Shani = yogakaraka Lord of domain-10 = Chandra.  Moon = Swati navamsha in radix. According to the rectification used, Chandra occupies the precise degree of radix lagna, seven degrees of Thula = Swati. The enormity of public recognition through a psycho-emotional connection, which is implied by this position of L-10 Chandra, is positively awesome. Surya/Ketu, and Chandra/lagna, receive drishti of Guru from domain-9 = strong religious orientation Vargottama Rahu in Simha/11 = spectacular material wealth Guru is very influential! Guru = lord of navamsha (spiritual/marriage), dashamsha (leadership/icon), and dwadashamsha (parents). 10th-lord Moon upon Lagna Soma rises in lagna in both radix and navamsha charts. As Sanjay Rath points out, the lifetime strength provided by a strong, loving mother who unswervingly believed in George and his musical talent, is the root of all good things in this chart.  George's mother bought his first guitar.   L-10 in lagna = massive public recognition; Moon sets the recognition vibration at "intuitive-emotional."   Harrison's Moon sits within a few seconds of the degree of the radix lagna = maximum strength public impact.  Harrison was especially loved by women, who intuitively recognized their own receptive feminine intelligence (Moon) in his music. A spectacular nativity -- due to Chandra What makes this a spectacular nativity? Chandra occupies the exact same degree as radix lagna. Therefore, Chandra also occupies the lagna of every single varga chart in the nativity. As the lagna divides into its vargas, Chandra divides in exactly the same pattern. The material-world effect of this Jyotisha algorithm is that virtually every aspect of Harrison's life became publicly known, so that his "leadership" through Chandra included his spiritual, emotional, intimate, parenting, and poetic experiences as well as the typical "for-show" two-dimensional characteristics of public figures. Moon's radix nakshatra = 1st pada of Swati Harrison's commitment to the devotional-missionary Krishna movement and his respect for his religious instructors is well known.   Vaishnava Das Goravani reads this pada's signification as "You are intelligent and fond of religious worship. Phlegmatic constitution. There may be some trouble with organs. You serve your parents and teachers with utmost care." Harrison's hugely successful musical recording "My Sweet Lord" in 1971 introduced the bhakti devotion of  Krishna Culture to millions of souls who had absolutely never heard it before.  Harrison's beautiful, compellingly emotional production instantly spread the love of Krishna worldwide. That's quite a Moon! Uccha Shukra When empowered Shukra occupies either domain-6 or domain-12, it is a red flag for pleasure addictions. Either sex or drugs, and usually both. Uccha Shukra provides a huge assist for bringing inspiration of the muse into material world activities, using the vehicle of the bodily movements and appearance. Harrison's visage was enormously famous in his generation, at least within the Anglosphere.  Uccha Shukra = very strongly (almost inescapably) attracted into fine arts & music, starting in childhood. Benefics in domain-6 bring much more trouble into life than malefics in Ripu bhava.  Lagnesha Uccha Shukra as an extremely strong benefic created a lifetime full of lawsuits (loss of agreements, 12th-from-7th) along with physical imbalance and financial conflicts re: art & music. Karmaa sthana, radix 10th house  Domain-10 is unoccupied.  Domain-10 receives drishti of the Communications lord = Budha = L-12 for imagination/foreign lands, and L-9 for religion.  Budha's aspect is not itself definitive for fame in communications, it is a very helpful influence for shaping a spiritual mission to reach the world using imaginative sound & lyrics. Budha = lord of 10th navamsha = career in words, such scribe, clerk, or media mogul : ) In a radix rashi of Shani, Budha has the yogakaraka empowerment of Shani as well as a mandate for its words to be accessible to the common people. Surya + Ketu  Although weakened in Kumbha (Aquarius), with dispositor Saturn in destructive, 8th house, L-11 Surya for income nevertheless occupies house-5 ruling creativity and self-expression.  Gainfulness in performance arts.  Ravi in Kumbha = a fringe social personality - out of the mainstream, or away from the conventional cultural-reasoning style of the average person.   Harrison's mystical inclinations coming from Guru-amplified-Ketu always set him apart from other popular musicians, leading his music in religious directions even while he maintained authority (domain-5) and profitability in the popular arts industry.   Luckily for those of us who benefited from his message and role-modeling, George's solitary ways and meditative inclinations developed into a very public profile, which showed a path from progressive-hippie-visionary lifestyle into a religiously conscious awareness. Saturn Yogakaraka Shanaicharya rules the 4th house of home-and-property, plus the performance-arts 5th house.  Shani is always an excellent graha for Thula lagna. Even in an unfavorable rashi or in a dusthana (as in this nativity) Shani for Thula lagna will give both creativity and grounded common sense. During Shani mahadasha, age 29-48, Harrison's steady artistic output and creative intelligence for expressing his personal spiritual yearnings was overall grounded and productive.  After the sudden expansion, exuberance and also conflict of L-3/L-6 Guru mahadasha, a more conservative Shani mahadasha sustained Harrison's ability to continue to reach a worldwide audience.   However he guarded his family privacy, as conservative L-4 Shani naturally would. Some of Harrison's songs & poetry are so intimate, one might feel embarrassed to hear them if his devotional motives weren't so well known.  Note Moon in Saturn's sign in Dashamsha, confirming that his private feelings & visions go public during Saturn's life period. Jupiter lord of dashamsha The earlier mahadasha of dashamsha lord Jupiter, his age 14-28, provided the remarkable boost into fame which is consistent with the mission.  Harrison joined the Beatles musical band at age 15.   Jupiter "matures" at 16. Guru's occupies the bhagya career-from-traveling 9th house (10th-from-12th). Guru sends drishti to both Surya and Chandra, in D-1. Therefore Guru  is likely to give high levels of cultural recognition near the age of Jupiter's maturity.    But Jupiter is fallen in D-10.  Harrison did not enjoy his fame, at least not from the typical ego-flattery point of view that would validate most performers.  His soul preferred solitude for mediation and creative expression.   However Saturn ruling the second D-10 house brought in plenty of money through career, so he would have enjoyed financial and social security, if not the most perfect religious experience!  Vimshottari narrative Rahu mahadasha  age 0-17 Rahu gives effects of lord L-11 Surya = although shy, many valuable friends Das says of Surya/Kumbha/3: "The position of your Sun in the 5th house is not good for children, in fact it may deny children. However, this same Sun indicates that divine law, or spirituality, is attractive to you, and it gives you the ability to study subjects for the upliftment of society at large, specifically detailed subjects or sciences." L-3/L-6 Guru Mahadasha age 17-33 Das says of Guru/Mithuna/9: "You may be lonely, but it will prepare you for the arduous task of renunciation and for the acquisition of deeper spiritual knowledge which lie ahead. You will be respected in society and will have status in the religious order to which you belong." Guru = lord of navamsha, dashamsha, and dwadashamsha. Guru in trine and casting drishti to both Surya & Chandra gives a strong "Arishta Bhanga" yoga, which eliminates the worst effects of all negative yogas in the nativity.  1960-1970 = "Beatles Era" Guru/Guru period: Beatles music group is formed Guru/Budha period: marriage-1 = 21-Jan-1966 to the fashion model Patti Boyd Budha = L-7 navamsha gochara Rahu-Ketu = Vrishabha/Vrischika Guru/Ketu-5 period: famed mystical initiations, creative intelligence moves toward spiritualism Guru/uccha Shukra period: extreme conflict in artistic partnerships Guru/Rahu period: Separation leading to divorce, 1974 Prognosis for two marriages, due to Rahu drishti + Guru drishti upon L-7?l-2 Kuja, with Mangala in a friendly rashi.  L-4/L-5 Shani Mahadasha age 33-52 Das says of Shani/Vrishabha/8: "You may be drawn towards spiritual studies, giving great insight into the personality of others and premonitions of coming events. You receive help and guidance from unknown sources; life moves in an unpredictable manner." Shani creates "Aputra Yoga" because L-5 occupies the dusthana 8th house. There are going to be heavy and constricting responsibilities regarding children, and one is advised to take these duties seriously. Number of children is much limited. Shani/Shani period birth of only child = 01-Aug-1978 Shani = L-5 = children marriage-2 = 02-Sep-1978 Shani is not a romance-driven marriage-maker, but Shani does make marriages from the motivation of material duty. Marriage during Shani period signals accepting of social responsibilities and willingness to settle down into a period of regular habits. L-9/L-12 Budha Mahadasha age 52-58 Das says of Budha/Makara/4: "You are well-liked, controlled and restrained, and interesting to others. You most likely attain a trusted position in life, and may travel to distant lands." L-12 Budha in occupation of domain-4 can bring isolation as one tries to "circle the wagons" and create a feeling of security. L-12 governs the imagination, and grants psychic sensitivity to perceive non-material phenomena. The native reportedly felt secure only in his garden, in the company of plant spirits, in the sanctuary of his home.  Budha/Budha period diagnosed with throat cancer, 1997 Budha/L-8 Shukra near death = 30-Dec-1999 Shukra = Kharesha a criminally insane man invaded security of Harrison's home and stabbed the native multiple times in the chest. Luckily for Harrison, his strong & capable wife helped capture the intruder. [L-2 = Kuja, athletic strength.] Budha/Surya/Rahu period: Vargottama Surya in rashi of Shani causes oppression of the creative intelligence by authoritarian personalities and structures, such as tax and legal penalties (Pitru-sapa Suta-kshaya yoga).  This "pay the piper" condition of Surya is increased considerably by the presence of Surya's lord Shani in domain-8 of hidden troubles.  Death = 29-Nov-2001 -- Surya occupies a Shastyamsha of Kumbha, bringing the misfortune of "paying consequences" into every Surya period. Surya occupies the maraka-2nd-from-mahadasha-pati Budha, and Surya rules the 8th-from-Budha, while both Budha and Surya are ruled by Shani in "sudden, forced changes" domain-8. Domain-8 indicates the "conditions of death". The sub-period of Rahu grossly exaggerates Surya's Pitru-sapa Suta-kshaya yoga empowerment,  Transits at the time of death: Empowered Shani: The brutal "Second Saturn Return" of one's late-fifth-decade was in force.  Shani had just passed his natal place by transit. Empowered Guru: The fifth "Guru Return" was also in process, with L-3/L-6 Guru transiting with one degree of the natal position.  Gochara Rahu-Ketu were transiting Mithuna-Dhanau Effect of Disease via Rahu + L-6 = unusually potent. Rahu + Guru transiting navamsha Budha also. Guru = "owner/operator" of maraka L-2/L-7 Kuja. However Kuja was not an active timelord in the Vimshottari dasha. Empowered Maraka Kuja: transiting uccha Mangala in Makara rashi, contact navamsha Surya. Considering Surya's existing difficulties, contact from the transiting L-2/L-7 Kuja would be pushing Surya toward physical death. Conditions of Death = uccha Shukra (L-8) =  conflict in sensual love and artistic expression. In the physical body = throat cancer which had reportedly spread to the brain, after a lifetime of drugs and cigarette smoking, at 58. L-4 Shani in domain-8 does destabilize the physical security in the current life, and make it hard to defend one's properties - both material and intellectual. However, L-4 also controls "the end of things". When the End lord occupies the Transformation house-8, at an auspicious 5-9 angle from swakshetra, the outcome of the End is a total tantric transformation. Conditions surrounded the quantum leap from body into spirit are heavy, but the end result is, alchemically, highly successful. Iron is transformed into Gold. Countless millions were saddened by Harrison's death, and radio stations across the Anglosphere played his songs for many days. He remains a spiritual icon for many within his religious organization, and a beacon of mystical perception to music fans worldwide.
