Chopra is recognized as a major
international authority on the ancient East Indian science of
"Ayurveda".
He is largely responsible for the late-20th-century
introduction of Ayurvedic medicine into the North American & European
alternative health systems.
Has also helped rejuvenate Ayurvedic practice
in the western-leaning strata of middle-class professional India.
Fame: 10th-from-Arudha-lagna
& Kala-Sarpa
Yoga
-
from the Jyotisha perspective, Chopra's
fame is a remarkably complex product of:
10th-from-Arudha-lagna = Domain-11 = Dhanau, unoccupied
-
native is well-known due to complex
association of Lord of Dhanau = Guru with L-3/L-10 Kuja (writing,
leadership); L-5-L-8 Budha (children, creativity, transformative healing); and
L-7 Surya
(balance, individual choice).
-
Total public impression = "balanced life through
balanced life practices"
-
probably more influential than
10th-from-Arudha lagna in Chopra's case is his amazing Kala-Sarpa
Yoga
-
All grahas occupy the range between Rahu & Ketu.
Karmaa
Bhava [10th-from-radix-lagna]
Vrischika, containing Ketu & Shukra.
Important: Shukra has parivartana
with His lord Kuja, so we see a highly auspicious yoga of the 9th & 10th
houses.
Vrischika is about secrets & healing.
Ketu is med
itation & intuition. Shukra is beauty &
pleasure. In themselves, this group might give a dynamic career in
mystical healing, drawing from ancient tantric traditions, which could range
from massage therapy to psychiatry. The focus is balance of male &
female energies because Shukra occupies Kuja's sign.
L-10 & Aspects to L-10 - public
status
L-10 - Kuja, who has plenty of company in dharma
bhava. He is yuti Budha, Guru, and fallen Surya.
Note
the extremely auspicious parivartana yoga of Shukra & Kuja who are the
9th & 10th lords! Here is some extraordinary religious &
spiritual power. This individual does achieve, in his lifetime, successful
balance of male & female energies. And he is able due to the
prominence of 9th & 10th houses, to bring his balancing knowledge to the
public in a persona which combines priestly (house-9) and public-authority
(house-10) energy.
Thus, a spiritual practitioner in a credentialed
religious lineage, who also carries public respect through his authority as
a licensed western physician. This is a powerful and influential
leader/guru package.
Lord of 10th Navamsha
-and- Lord of the navamsha sign
occupied by radix-10
Lord of 10th navamsha is Shani.
L-10 = Kuja, who rises in navamsha. Lord of navamsha of L-10 is
Shukra. Therefore Shukra directs the career. Shukra's
auspicious parivartan with Chopra's L-10 Kuja directs the career
powerfully. Shukra is the karaka for beauty, including rejuvenation.
10th-from-Chandra - psycho-emotional
true service
10th-from-Chandra = Mithuna, unoccupied. Mithuna
rules speaking, writing, gesturing - all media of communication.
Emotionally, Chopra wants to communicate. L-5/L-8 Budha, lord of
Mithuna, shares dharma bhava with L-10/L-3 Kuja (media career), L-2/L-11
Guru (values, wealth) & fallen L-7 Surya (relationships,
advising). All this operates through the dharma house, so the context
of his service is always religious & spiritual tradition. His
persona & his motive are priestly.
Surya ;
10th-from-Surya - ego identification
The ego is clearly identified with preaching & the guru role, as it
would be for anyone with Ravi in radix-9, in any rashi. Surya in 9
wants to promote a particular tradition and particular way of life,
according to their training. Not good for the native's father but
paternal behavior is extended to the students & the audience.
Native is strongly identified with the fatherly role.
However Ravi is fallen here and not rescued by any helpful
conditions. Luckily Ravi is strong in navamsha which helps public
dignity.
Yuvati
bhava 10th-from-10th -
day-to-day interactions, daily reality
Arudha of Karma Bhava - "Karmaa Pada"
- public imagery or associations
Lagnesha - location of life
force, natural sphere of action
Dashamsha
- D-10 varga for career
temporarily, 10th-from-mahadasha-pati
"an increasing ability to serve is the only
reliable sign of spiritual progress"
