Madonna
(Louise Ciccone)
Marriage
and Divorce timing:
Degree on the Navamsha Lagna = 15
Simha (Leo) = Service to others
|
According to M.C. Jain in The Stars and
your Future, (p 42) 15 Simha = the "Degree of Creeping":
-
"Denotes one who is forced to labor hard
for the greater part of one's life,
-
but who contains within oneself some
brilliant
gifts one of which will bring him into fame.
-
The native will earn one's living in
a multitude of ways and versatility fits him to assume numerous
posts of authority and responsibility.
-
... for marriage [partner],
one should be chosen who will help in one's
career. ..."

Planetary Yogas: from
B. V. Raman, "Three
Hundred Important Combinations"
3. Anapha
Yoga
-
"Definition.—If there are planets in the
12th from the Moon, Anapha Yoga is formed.
-
Results— Well-formed organs, majestic appearance,
good reputation, polite, generous, self-respect, fond of dress and sense
Pleasures. In the later life, renunciation & austerity."
Madonna's nativity is dominated by the Surya/Shukra
pair, and strongly influenced by Kuja.
-
Surya enjoys a highly empowering parivartamsha
yoga with Chandra.
-
Surya occupies the very latest degree of
Karka, at 29:49; in the vulgar & obsessive, naga-ruled nakshatra of Ashlesha,
associated with snakes and enmeshment or strangulation by
"embrace".
-
Shukra occupies 8 degrees of Karka, in
the beneficent nakshatra of Pushya
or "Sidhya" meaning "lucky" and
"successful".
Behari says of Shukra in the 2nd padaa of
Pushya, "Be careful of your sensual desires, they may lead you into some difficulty . You will be attractive to the opposite sex. You will be intelligent
& have other good qualities."
-
Shukra has a great deal of career power,
as noted in the table of career lagnas above. Shukra is lord of:
-
Shukra
is a karaka for love & sex, pleasure & eroticism, sensuality,
indulgence, addiction, romance, women, marriage, balance, agreements,
contracts, connections, bonds, alcohol & sugars - & much more.
-
Shukra is dominated by Surya due
to Surya's higher degree in the rashi Karka.
-
Note Shukra is fallen in navamsha
with emotional Chandra, which contributes the dramatic theme of the
fallen woman, or the emotionally desperate woman who hungers for sexual
validation because she does not trust her own beauty.
-
Surya
is the karaka for entertainment, creativity, fame, speculation, theatre,
politics, children, leadership, producers, reasoning, consciousness - &
much more.
-
Chandra's parivartana yoga with Surya
grants much strength to Chandra, and Chandra is the lord of
both Surya & Shukra. In this nativity Chandra is, as it were, the
power behind the throne.
-
Chandra
is a karaka for mother, emotion, shelter, protection, unconscious
/subconscious, astral plane, imagination, parents, home, childhood, and
nurturing - & much more.
-
magical and lucky combination of
Shukra, Surya, and Chandra
-
with supporting athletic performance strength from
Kuja
have generated the remarkable career of the Material Girl.

A Catechism of Astrology, p. 9 - part II page 2
Q. What makes one an actor or a singer?
Ans. Generally Venus will have to be strong in
the horoscope before one can be a good actor or singer.
If this is to be adopted as
profession, Venus must be intimately connected with the 10th
bhava in some way or other.
E.g., if Venus occupies 4th or 10th Bhava or if Venus
aspects the 10th house or if Venus is conjoined with the lord of the
10th, his means of livelihood will be singer and acting.
[BPL: in Madonna's horoscope, Shukra = L-10 ]
|
 Singer, actress, dancer, writer, producer, hatha yogini,
and aficionada of mystical religion.
This consummate modern entertainer has strongly influenced American &
worldwide popular
music culture since the 1980's.
Her greatest genius is widely considered
to be her youthful appearance & her ability to "re-invent" herself
(Chandra).
As the media marketplace has changed from
the 1980's forward, Madonna has remained a creative force in the entertainment
industry (Surya).
Madonna's career is distinguished by:
-
athletic strength and competition (Kuja),
-
showmanship & literary
productivity (Surya/Budha/Chandra),
-
constant theatrical innovation
(Surya/Budha),
-
predominant theme of female/maternal
sexuality (Shukra) & edgy emotion (Chandra)
-
promotion of socially marginalized/taboo
(Rahu) e.g. gay/lesbian, impoverished orphans, mixed race relationships
 Sexuality:
Shukra-Kuja
-
Sexual love is a major
component of Madonna's career literary and performance agenda. Shukra is in good
condition in radix. L-10/L-3 Shukra is a career karaka. Shukra is carried along
on the tremendous publicity energy of parivartana Surya/Chandra associated with
the indulgence and entitlement to "only to best" via
Purvaphalguni
nakshatra.
-
However Shukra is badly
fallen and unredeemed in navamsha, indicating lifelong romance and sexuality
troubles.
-
Kuja/Mesha's
drishti upon Shukra suggests a powerfully athletic, competitive sex
drive. This female can run a high volume of 'yang' sex energy, which of course
is a huge asset in her highly profitable stage performances.
-
However Shukra fallen in
navamsha suggests poor taste in companions, and in particular trouble through
jealousy (neechha Shukra is a karaka for jealousy) as well as substance addictions
and "fallen women".
Marriage
and Divorce timing:
-
Marriage-1 = Chandra/Shukra period. Shukra =
karaka for marriage
-
Divorce-1 = Kuja/Rahu period = Rahu gives
effect of His lord L-8 Guru
-
Child-1 = Rahu/Rahu period = Rahu gives effect
of His lord L-5 Guru (however L-8 Guru = ceremonial marriage unobtainable
during Rahu/Rahu)
-
Marriage-2 = Rahu/Shani period = Shani = L-7
navamsha
-
Divorce-2 = Rahu/Surya period = Surya =
L-1 (intent divorce publicly announced, mid-Oct 2008)
-
comment: Surya, lord of D-1 and D-9 lagna, is not
normally a divorce karaka. Surya is a defender of the Ego and Public
Personality. From May-2008 until Oct-2009. the rashi of Surya - Karkata - is
suffering a transit of "I give up" separative Ketu. The energy of
Ketu's transit is disconnecting but not the divorce-causing "virtual
spousal death" of L-8 or L-2. Ketu's influence of confusion,
depression, and isolation being more reactive than proactive, the legal
divorce request may quite possibly be withdrawn.. Madonna's personal history
includes a previous "false alarm" divorce petition, filed in
her Chandra/Surya period : ) when career/public identity seemed to be
threatened by marriage drain.
The amazingly productive American film entertainer and producer Madonna
(Louise Ciccone),
has married twice.
-
Her first marriage to eccentric actor Sean Penn was made at age 27 and lasted
less than four years, no children.
-
A first child was born independent of
marriage.
-
After the birth of their child, Madonna
ceremonially married her second husband and father of her second child, the producer
Guy Ritchie, when she was 42.
The timing of Madonna's marriages generally
conforms to Jyotisha rules.
Ceremonial Marriage 1:
16-Aug-1985
-
Chandra/Shukra bhukti
-
 Venus is a marriage-maker
-
gochara Rahu-Ketu crossing Mesha-Thula
-
gochara Rahu-Ketu contact radix AND navamsha nodal
axis; extra impetus: Rahu is vargottama and owned by Shukra. The
planets suggest this marriage was formed in love.
Divorce 1: 1989
-
Kuja/Guru bhukti
-
Guru = L-8
Union-2, sanctified by the Birth of
child-1 (Lourdes): 14-Oct-1996.
Ceremonial Marriage 3: 22-Dec-2000
-
Rahu/Shani
bhukti
-
Shani = L-7 navamsha
-
gochara Rahu-Ketu crossing Mithuna
-Dhanau
-
interestingly, the gochara nodes here
do not cross a significant axis: neither radix nor navamsha nodes,
lagna, nor moon. Dhanau/Mithuna is the D-10 axis however.
There is some suggestion of a career decision perhaps overriding
personal matters, in the marriage choice.
Lord of radix
L-10's Navamsha
= Budha
Budha in radix Simha lagna is strong in shad bala (see
bar chart below).
Das says of this position,
"Physically attractive and intellectually sharp but mentally unsound and constitutionally weak.
... trade and authorship, and suffers from social or romantic humiliation."
-
In addition to its karaka qualities of
adolescent
challenge to authority, general verbosity, and flamboyant theatre, Budha is
involved in the striking parivartana yoga
that drives Madonna's career: the interchange of L-12 Chandra with L-1 Surya.
-
The Chandra-Surya yoga, combined with Purvaphalguni
nakshatra in both D-1 and D-9 lagna, gives her the power to sing and dance her way through the vivid expression of
socially repressed sexual fantasies & fears.
 Shukra,
Budha, Surya & Chandra are all involved in the parivartana yoga, which
invokes the combined powers of:
-
L-1, L-2, L-3, L-10, L-11, & L-12
All
channeling through the physical body lagna!!
Note the shad-bala strength of Budha and Shani (hard-work, discipline,
persistence, endurance).
L-2 Budha rules the speech & singing. L-11
Budha is exceptionally gainful.
Lord of 10th Navamsha
= Shukra
-
As one of the players in the remarkable parivartana above,
Shukra enters "virtual Simha" in the "virtual lagna" when
Surya & Chandra exchange signs. Karaka qualities of Shukra are
sweetness, arts & dancing, and Simha rules Theatre, costume, regal privilege
etc.
-
Judging only from Budha & Shukra as major Jyotisha
career factors, it is already clear that this is a performance artist of some
magnitude.
Lord of Dashamsha = Guru
-
Radix Guru is enormously amplified by Rahu in Shukra's
sign
-
Guru receives mutual aspect from His friend swakshetra
Kuja signifying tremendous athletic energy, physical discipline, and good
health in career.
-
Guru is L-5 for performance and L-8 for occult, hidden
knowledge.
-
Rahu is taboo-breaking, desire-releasing,
love-amplifying energy giving Guru magnification in the vibration of Shukra.
-
Guru/Rahu are vargottama in navamsha, where they are
yuti Kuja
-
Guru & swakshetra Kuja are also together in
dashamsha, where they re-emphasize the huge physical performance energy
channeling through this artist
Karmaa
Bhava; L-10 & Aspects to L-10 =
Shukra
-
L-10 Shukra would have been obscured in vyayasthana
were it not for the rescuing parivartamsha yoga.
-
As a result of parivartamsha, Shukra becomes a virtual rising planet which grants the native
a magnetic attractiveness common to top actresses and performers.
(See radix Shukra for Angelina Jolie)
-
Like Guru, Shukra receives the aggressive,
competitive, warrior drishti of Mesha Kuja.
10th-from-Chandra - psycho-emotional
true service
Surya ;
lagnesha; ego role identification
-
Madonna's central career strength is the amazing parivartan between
lagnesha Surya & imagination-lord Chandra. (however there are several
additional key strengths such as physical vitality, permanent youthfulness,
and a highly energized mouth!)
-
Surya as lagnesha has enormous strength in radix and
dashamsha (where Ravi rises in Guru's sign) and He is strong in Meena
navamsha also.
-
The native is ego identified with herself, with her
body, her appearance, and her verbal expression
-
Proximity to Shukra give beauty and all the career
empowerments of Shukra
Yuvati
bhava 10th-from-10th - day-to-day interactions = Shani
-
L-7 is a relatively minor influence in career, but it
is worth checking into because L-7 rules daily interactions and concrete
skills in profession
-
Shani has strength in shad bala (see bar chart
above)
-
Shani receives drishti of Guru in D-9 and D-10; Shani
receives drishti of Kuja in D-1. Shani is a positive force in career
development because of His association with Guru and Kuja, two of Madonna's
sustaining career factors - Kuja energizes and Guru sustains
-
However in day-to-day interactions Shani makes a
perfectionist and disciplinarian
Arudha of Karma Bhava
"Karmaa Pada"
- public imagery or associations = Budha/Chandra
-
Budha's powers are legendary in this native's career:
perpetual adolescence; extraordinary speech, writing, and song (L-2); and
diversity of "connections" in the media marketplace that generates
continued profitability (L-11)
-
Budha's association with L-12 Chandra would be a drain
if not for the rescuing, then transcendent, parivartana yoga which gives the
virtual result of Chandra being swakshetra in house-12 - a tremendously
fertile imagination!
temporarily, 10th-from-mahadasha-pati
-
All of the mahadasha pati's in Madonna's life, from
young adulthood until senior citizenship, are supportive of continuing career
development
-
Note the progress of Mahadasha's has developed one
career factor after the next: Surya, then Chandra, then Kuja, then Rahu, and
in a few years Guru
-
This woman may never leave the stage! (at least until
end of Guru mahadasha in 2028 when she turns age 70!)
-
At this writing, since 1994, Rahu has been mahadasha
pati which puts 10th-from-Rahu = Lord Chandra
-
As lord of the 12th house of private imagination,
Chandra is much empowered to continue to evoke fantasies and fears related
to love and sex, from the western collective unconscious
