Vocation 21
Aspiring Film Star

 
Maharishi Jaimini recommends using the Panchamsha
(D-5) to reveal Fame & Power:

Degree on the Navamsha Lagna = 13
Karkata (Cancer).
According to M.C. Jain in The Stars and
your Future, (p 47) 13 Karkata = the "Degree of Pertinacity":
"Denotes one who is born to face
danger and to indulge in undertakings of a venturesome nature which yield
little profit and entail much anxiety.
He is rather fixed in his ideas,
and may fall in with the views of the majority.
Neither will he attempt to escape when
the storm is against him."
|
The native writes:
"there is one question I like to know, I
have a strong desire 2 be famous in films and acting, but never not a chance.
will I be successful."
"I love learning astrology, but my
final love is to be famous and known in the world, I have strong interest in
acting, but only acted last year in Mars-Rahu dasha in theatre for first time
in life. After that no chance, currently I did software course in looking
forward for job, since no income, I am M.Tech, when will I get properly in
films and be successful also, I have no background, and I belong to middle
class family only."
"As a child during Shukra
Mahadasha,
I was not very good in studies and health, I never enjoyed good health
but average, during that period.
When Surya Mahadasha came, there was a
tremendous growth in intelligence, and in class academics, I rose from low
order to middle order and remained till 1996, may. In 1993 Oct, there was a
girl in my life, whom i started liking, I always had one sided attractions
since childhood, especially to older women, and one common factor till now is that
i never ever got chance of going to parties or friendship with opposite sex,
though in my heart I wanted it.
I always got afraid, scare in public
especially when asked to say in front of public., but i desired to be know, to
be special but never had the courage to do so, I loved sports, but never got
chance to represent school. so in all like many people in world i was the same
type, but there is always a fire burning, a sense of dissatisfaction, not achieved
what i deserve.
During Chandra Mahadasha, matters worsened
due Sade Sati, also the girl I liked and loved became my biggest enemy, I lost
in competitive exams and even students who were of less caliber in school, got
admissions in Technical Institutes of Country, but not me. Some how i managed
to get into a regional Textile Chemistry Institute, in 1998 June, some relieve., but
tensions pertaining to love life increased, it was during 1996 and 1999
onwards in particular i got interested in astrology, only to know my future of
love life, I visited several local astrologers, and many promised me love
marriage. I started learning on my own and my batch mates in Institute
acknowledged that I had some knowledge, in 2002 August i qualified the M.Tech
programme, and left for Mumbai, very far from Lucknow.
During this period of 2002-2004, my
tensions grew ten fold in terms of love life, and I suffered lot of defame in
my home in Lucknow, finally i came out of the terrible once sided affair, in
mar 2004,and in sep 2004 i got my first job, now i had started trying for modeling
agencies and photo shoot in 2004,and gave auditions as well but no output, in
2005 end, I was finding myself trapped in job, and i wanted to do something
for myself independently may be business, I started myself all alone a small
sample business of Textile Enzymes in 2005 end, but that idea also
failed,
Finally in in beginning of 2006 there was
conflict in job and i left it in 2006 May. Till now i am jobless and not
earned any thing till now. In Mid 2006 July, I managed to get a small theatre
group in Mumbai where i learnt acting first time, I read a lot from books of
acting and in Dec 2006, i did a professional acting workshop, after that things
have stopped once again, there were tensions at home in mar 2007, due to my
elder sister marriage, and now i am in Bangalore, South India from July 2007,
here i have done Software Testing course and i got rewarded with certificate
not given to all, but i haven't managed to get job.
My desire to be an actor, and be famous in
life has sidelined due to family pressures and turmoil. Now i am looking
forward for job and marriage. I have no idea of the dream fulfillment of being
an actor, to work in films and known to world, whether it will happen in
future. I am from simple, middle class family, with average looks, and to get
in film in our Country is impossible without Godfather, I have no links in
industry. Plz let me know the answer to this question only, whether i get a
get a chance in industry. Slowly i am losing hope. My Lagna is Leo, Navamsha
Karka, Dashamsha Scorpio. Fifth house busy, but lord in 12th house exalted.

Das / Behari
Overview:
-
Shani/Rahu in lagna creates a difficult
yoga. Shani signifies restraint, hard labor, identification with the working
classes, and a lifetime of delay. Rahu in Simha gives tremendous desire for
royal fame. Exacerbating matters immensely is the fact that this difficult
pair occupy Simha lagna, a rashi of great animosity toward Shani.
-
The native should expect a lifetime of
setback, frustration, and delay. This setup is not an accident. Many
components of the D-1 nativity point toward spiritual achievement, which is
only possible when the native voluntarily abandons his material concerns.
Well before the current birth, this native agreed to endure many obstacles,
frustrations, and delays of his intense desire to achieve fame. The current
experience of repression, lack of opportunity, financial & social
restraint, is indeed directed toward spiritual accomplishment and social good.
-
Shani in lagna gives a lifelong
appreciation for and identity with the laboring classes. Rahu seeks foreign
experience and taboo-breaking excitement. The native will serve foreigners
and workers, perhaps in a diplomatic mission or international educational
setting. Travel abroad is highly profitable due to uccha Guru/12.
-
Profession is reasonably good and the
native becomes well-known due to Moon in domain-9, but professional service
is probably not in one of the conventional "starring" theatrical roles. Rather, this
nativity is better suited to humanistic education, literature -- and very well
adapted to international workers politics.
-
L-6/L-7 Shani yuti Rahu in lagna
energizes enemies, debts, & disease in the lifetime; also gives stable connections to police work, bribery, & the underclass
-
Ketu in yuvati bhava brings a nervous,
powerful, manipulative spouse who has considerable control over the native
because L-7 = in lagna
-
lagnesha Surya in domain-5 is very
favorable for everything except children, who may be denied or troublesome.
Surya favors teaching, activities related to theatrical acting, literary authorship, coaching and
sports enthusiasm. Generally Surya/5 in an auspicious rashi signifies an enjoyable life infused with the
worldview
that "all life's a stage".
-
The native may not have much success with
acting as a highly public, fame-driven career in his own homeland, due to
L-5 for fame being plunged into identity-loss domain-12, at a 6/8 angle from swakshetra.
However the native may fare much better in the theatrical profession if he
would leave his homeland and pursue acting in another country.
-
Grahas in domain-12 give much stronger
effects on the astral plane (imagination, hopes, dreams) than on the
material plane.
-
Uccha Guru/12 = this native is blessed with a wonderful
imagination which may promote literary authorship. One is also favored
for developing educational
programs in sanctuary spaces such as ashrams and also in foreign
lands.
-
Temporal angle between mahadasha-pati
Kuja, and bhukti-pat Brihaspati, = 6/8 = difficult &
unfavorable, altho the difficulties are somewhat eased by the fact that
these 2 grahas are friends

identified by the public in context of social rules & organizations,
industrial structure & the laboring classes, and ethical-political
power struggles involving foreigners or outcasts (due to Shani's
association with Rahu).

Evaluation:
Basic requirements for success in theatre
& films, in addition to memorization and characterization skills, should be
strength of L-2 (for speech), L-3 (for teamwork), and L-5 (for
fame, success in speculation, & creative intelligence).
Vargas to inspect include D-1, D-5 (fame),
D-9, and D-10.
For worldwide fame and success in theatrical profession,
extraordinary auspiciousness must apply to the lagnas of all key vargas.
For example, the nativities of Angelina
Jolie, Elizabeth Taylor,
Brad Pitt, Julia
Roberts, all feature prominent & auspicious graha ruling or
occupying house- 2, 5, 9 & 10.
1. Lord of the
navamsha position of Radix L-10 - as He
behaves in radix =
Budha
According to
Phaladeepika & others, lord of 10th Navamsha is really where the rubber meets the road
in terms of career prediction.
Budha in Mula
nakshatra, padaa-2, is significantly in charge of career.
"May be an engineer initially. You may switch over to an
industrial production. Life will be generally happy." Das / Behari
Effect of Budha/Dhanau/domain-5:
"Your writings & speeches are very articulate: you will
attain a very high position in your academic career. The number of your
children will be restricted, but your intellectual reputation will be
extensive." Das / Behari
2. Lord of the
Dashamsha
position of Radix L-10
- as He
behaves in radix = Budha
-
Dashamsha
= varga for profession, public standing, dignity, position, reputation
Kuja/Budha
period
-
L-2/L-11 Budha is yuti the
mahadasha pati yogakaraka L-4/L-9 Kuja AND lagnesha Surya
-
Budha is lord of 10th-from-Mahadasha
Pati (Kuja)
-
Budha period is gainful
financially; favorable for development of the values;
good for education in the arts (Shukra/4) and most importantly
beneficial for sincere religion, particularly devotion to the
goddesses of arts, love, & civilization (Laxmi, Parvati,
Saraswati).
-
Budha's navamsha lord = Shukra,
therefore Budha evokes the results of Shukra during Budha's bhukti;
romance in the personal life is favored
Native may find employment as an educator,
sports coach, hospitality coordinator or tour guide, producer/director, politician
or political organizer, or salesman, utilizing
one's natural enthusiasm for life & theatrical abilities but not expecting celebrity levels of fame
(due to the lifelong contraint of Shani in lagna).
Kuja/Shani period will be
mixed.
-
Shani periods always contain delay,
constraint, need for personal discipline, austerity, and management of
scarce resources.
The extent to which the native can
embrace these constraints or struggles with them in frustration, is
determined by the dignity of Shani. In this nativity Shani obliges
much advising & counseling work (L-7) and also much heavy labor
& contact with the impoverished underclass or criminal element
(L-6).
-
However the native's contact with
the underserved & disenfranchised will be lawful and socially
approved due to Makara ruling Ripu bhava.
-
Also the auspicious 5/9 angle
between Kuja & Shani encourages beneficial regulation of internal
personality energies.
-
The native will be guided by
intelligent forces, receive good counsel from meditative voices and
his own religious/moral education will support him making good choices
during this period.
-
Overall, a steady and favorable
bhukti if one can accept that Shani does everything with glacial
slowness. Be prepared for resistance & delays, but also expect to
receive the fruits of long-term planning and interpersonal patience.
Lord of radix 10th
as He behaves
in Navamsha = Shukra/Kanya
Shukra in navamsha
Kanya signifies trouble through women or fallen women such as prostitutes,
mistresses, women with substance abuse issues, etc. Refer
back to Budha, which can manifest as social service work in the
performance arts venues such as theatre, politics, & speculation such
as
casinos & hotels, serving underclass
persons esp. women.
Karma bhava [10th-from-radix-lagna]:
Karmaa
Bhava is not occupied. We look
to L-10 (below) within the radix for information about public service.
L-10 & Aspects to L-10
- public
status
L-10 Shukra finds an uncorrected neechha
position in D-9 & D-10. One central indication here is continuing trouble
with women, which drains the native's creativity. The native may improve
career prospects by staying away from "fallen women" - since that is
the literal meaning of neechha Shukra - but in the theatrical career this
hardly seems feasible.
There is karmic entanglement with women who
have low self-esteem, usually leading to substance abuse issues.
It may be
more sensible to simply admit the reality of this karma and get to work
addressing it, such as through charitable work with the population of
prostitutes, underclass women, drug addict women, abused and neglected women,
or others who have lost their feminine dignity & can no longer feel that
they are beautiful.
Shukra inhabits signs of Mangala in D-1 and
D-5. Although Kuja is technically "neutral" toward Shukra, these two
have an unsettled relationship which offers sexual interest and creativity but
also makes Shukra uncomfortable in the rushed, muscular, competitive
environment of Mangala.
Shukra is not handicapped in rashis of Kuja but at the
same time Shukra does not flourish there. So, the native who is passionately
interested in a career in creative performance arts will find better
opportunities in the more athletic, action-oriented aspects of theatre: stunt
work perhaps, or martial themes in theatre.
L-10 Shukra receives the beneficial drishti
of uccha Guru, which indicates a good education for the native and a broad
understanding of women and their circumstances. The mother is selfish or
self-righteous perhaps, but the home is attractive & interesting.
Periods
of Shukra will always elevate the native's leadership position, but the nature
of the leadership responsibilities will always correspond to the character of
Shukra/Vrischika, which is a psychologically intense and therapeutic
planet.
The native is called to be an educator;
each period of Shukra will see a further unfolding of his inspiring,
dramatized teaching vocation.
Dashamsha
- D-10 varga for career
Read the Dashamsha
or 10th-divisional
chart in coordination with the Vimshottari dasha timeline to determine most
fruitful career periods.
Also, radix planets which appear to support
a strong career must perform well in the D-10 in order to give best results.
Planets in D-10's lagna and in D-10's 10th
house have special significance & power.
Yogakaraka L-4/L-9 Kuja = lord of dashamsha
lagna. However, radix L-10 Shukra finds the neechha position, with no
correction.
Therefore, career prognosis is mixed.
There will be many opportunities, particularly during the current Kuja
mahadasha, to express Kuja's excellent radix qualities: teaching (L-4 and
L-9); religious fellowship (L-9) and theatrical performance (including
politics and speculation). Children can easily arrive during Kuja/Guru period,
but also during Rahu/Guru and Rahu/Kuja periods.
Because Kuja = L-9,
the career should be
dharmicly grounded in order to succeed. The native may wish to undertake
intentional religious practice suitable to his nature. It would be beneficial
to express devotional appreciation for the
goddesses Laxmi & Saraswati who govern wealth, literature, and the
performance arts. Theatrical work connected to religious festivals and
children's celebrations can serve as both practical skill-building and solid
moral choices for professional development.
Shukra is fallen again in dashamsha, which
indicates an energy drain from "fallen women". The native has
numerous associations with women of low caliber or low self-esteem who ask for
his help, then reject it.
This is the pattern for men who suffer the
indignities of neechha Shukra - such as Prince
Charles (radix) or former US President Bill
Clinton (radix). They acquire responsibility for emotionally damaged
women, typically
those with substance addictions or other underclass behaviors.
The nativity
featuring neechha Shukra often feels and expresses sincere affection toward
one's female friends, relatives, and spouses. However, the damaged women are
emotionally unreliable, "high maintenance", and also a liability
for reputation & career.
Regarding this combination of
a good D-10 lagna lord with radix L-10 being in distress in dashamsha, there
may be several good strategies. One possible karmic payment approach would be to develop a service mission that reaches out, through education and theatre,
to exploited or addicted women, child prostitutes, and cross-gender or
transvestite men. These situations are all related to neechha Shukra.
One of the best ways to handle a karmic
liability is to consciously offer charitable service to the type of people who
are most likely to cause trouble on one's path. The service need not be
constant, but it should be regularly offered & intentional.
A volunteer dance-theatre
activity, such as retellings of traditional cultural narratives connected with the worship of a goddess of arts &
beauty, serving underprivileged women, would assure regular but protected
contact with the forces of neechha Shukra.
This or similar service would
fulfill some of the
native's karmic obligation to experience the pain of neechha Shukra = unattractiveness,
disconnection from feeling of belovedness, &
romantic despair.
Respected Madam, Namashkar,
Q: ... [ you mention in this section re:] Grahas in kendra of D-10
and D-1: http://www.barbarapijan.com/bpa/Topics/dashamsha_D10.htm
:
"Significant graha in any kendra of D-10 gives the native an unusually
strong public presence. As in the D-1, the more graha in kendra, the more the
native is well-known. Typically the nativity with graha in all four kendras of
D-10, D-9, and/or D-1 is nationally or internationally known. No graha in D-10
or D-1 kendras suggest that the native is not known outside of their own
neighborhood or village."
Out of the 3 [] statements which one best suites me.... a) the native
will be known in city/region. b) the native will be known nationally or
internationally . c) the native will be known in neighborhood or village.
Jai Ganesha; Aspiring Filmstar
A:
National
or international recognition seems likely, considering graha in all D-10
kendra plus 3 out of 4 in D-1 kendras, and Rahu in radix lagna.
In
the global age of internet, international visibility in one's own
professional specialty is not too difficult to develop. However to become a global
icon one needs a particular charismatic graha in kendra or trine.
See Amitabh Bachchan (uccha
vargottama swamsha Guru in radix lagna) or Mahatma
Gandhi (L-5 for fame = Guru/strong in priestly domain-9).
The
strongest, stubbornest personalities show kendra lords occupying kendras.
However
if the kendra occupants are primarily strong malefics, then what is
produced is a fixed personality who cannot take outside advice. Of course this
stubborn eccentricity, even if it is the mark of true genius, is not usually
an asset in public life. If such a person does achieve iconic status, it is
short lived because they are not well liked (see G.H.W.
Bush 'Sr'.)
Individualistic
graha such as Surya or Kuja in domain-10 mitigate against success in public
positions because the masses require conformity to common standards. The
people tend to trust a leader with Shani in domain-10 because he seems
proletarian and lawful (see Adolf
Hitler).
Absence
of graha in karmasthana is actually helpful for leadership because it
shows the native does not have overly fixed personality toward executive
decisions. If other kendras are filled, & L-10 is otherwise well-disposed,
& D-10 is good, powerful business/government leadership can result
For
the current nativity, L-10 in kendra is good, L-10 Shukra drishti upon
swakshetra is good for leadership. Prominent L-12 Chandra/9 may bring
public attention to one's foreign travels. This is a favorable religious or
university placement.
Theatre
vs. politics
Public
prominence through leadership (L-10) vs. talented entertainers having lucky
breaks in show business (L-5):
One
configuration for famous & talented entertainers = very auspicious graha
in or ruling domain-2, domain-3, and domain-5. One of the auspicious graha
should show genius talent, but another should show the tremendous hard
work& discipline that builds true theatrical performance craft.
See
Barbra Streisand, Brad
Pitt.
-
L-5
for LUCK and FAME in Pitt's D-1 is the swamsha Guru in swakshetra.
-
L-5
for LUCK and FAME in Streisand's D-1 is the swakshetra Chandra
-
Both
also have multiple indicators of hard work, discipline, drive, and
responsible teamwork. Even for a diva, group interaction and support is
essential for the successful performance artist. Always check
domain-3.
Special consideration for literary,
performance arts, or political careers:
Radix
L-5 in Panchamsha; lord of Panchamsha in radix
Radix L-5 Guru occupies Kanya rashi in panchamsha. D-5
lagna unoccupied. Look to radix Budha for character fame in speculation,
politics, and performance arts.
Budha being auspicious in radix, the native may be
expected to give inspirational speeches, and generate much intelligent &
creative writing.
Particularly the writing of theatrical scripts and political
speeches & all forms of storytelling (particularly traditional
cultural narratives) are favored.
Lord of Panchamsha = radix L-6/L-7 Shani. Prognosis for
fame is limited. The native will be better known for extensive international
travels, ethical awareness and calculated risk-taking, and his willingness to
offer creative service to the poor & disenfranchised. Fame gives its seat
to service.
10th-from-Chandra - psycho-emotional
true service
10th-from-Chandra indicates
the most emotionally natural environment in which one can offer public service, and how we feel about our
calling to public life. If this position is strong, the public
responds supportively to our offering. Even if 10th-from-Chandra is not
strong, the native will offer this service, albeit with less recognition.
10th-fr-Soma = Ari Bhava = Makara =
Lord Shani.
Find radix L-6/L-7 Shani empowered in lagna
with magnifying, amplifying Rahu. Rahu strengthens the emotional desire nature
of Manas, the Moon - but also Rahu will give the results of His lord Surya and
His co-tenant Shani. The overall result is tension: intense desire radiating
from Rahu empowered in the strongest kendra - radix lagna - and yet,
restrained by the conflict of natural character between Surya & Shani.
Surya of course wishes to be famous and celebrated, a wonderful entertainer
beloved by millions. Shani wants to be dutiful & responsible, dedicated to
survival and conforming to the lowest common denominator.
Could this be a "working class
hero" similar to Bruce Springsteen the USA rock balladeer? A
celebrator of the trials and tribulations of the lower classes, particularly
"woman trouble" and political oppression under regimes of selfish
fat cats? Yes, perhaps!
Surya
&
10th-from-Surya - ego identification
See comments on Surya, &
Budha lord of 10th-from-Surya, in lagnesha section below.
Yuvati
bhava 10th-from-10th -
actual skills, day-to-day actions
Most of the important contracts &
partnerships concern basic necessities and social rules. The native is somewhat
eccentric in his relationships, having an open tolerance for persons from a very
wide variety of social backgrounds. Skilled at seeing the unusual, thinking
"out of the box", and generating new frameworks of enquiry. Better
with short-term work contracts. Better as a project-based "consultant"
- not ideal for long-term commitments, due to Ketu in domain-7.
The spousal relationship may be stable yet
distant, and socially unusual or peculiar. See comments on Shani at: Marriage
prospects for this nativity
Arudha of Karma Bhava
= "Karma
Pada" = imagery or public associations with career, service
The Arudha
of any house shows the illusion or public imagery associated with the matters
of that house.
Arudha lagna of
the 10th house shows the illusionary environment which envelops the public
perception of one's professional life & career. This imagery is not necessarily false; it simply forms an aura
around the appearance of the career.
To find Karma
padaa,
-
count
the houses from domain-10 to its lord,
-
count
from L-10, the same number of houses forward, to arrive at karma padaa
(See
rules for Arudha counting.)
In this
nativity, L-10 = Shukra. Count from domain-10 to its lord Shukra = 7 houses.
Then count 7 houses back to domain-10. Rules for arudha counting = if lagnesha
occupies 1st or 7th from lagna, then the arudha = 10th-from-lagna. So, the
arudha lagna of karma bhava in this radix chart = yuvati bhava,
10th-from-domain-10.
Psychic aura around the native's career
is governed by Shani, who occupies Simha yuti
Rahu in radix lagna. The native will be known for his important & unusual
relationships, both political and personal. Dignity in public service.
According
to Shani's effect in the 3rd padaa of Purvaphalguni
nakshatra, "renowned for your sincerity, truthfulness and several activities are based on your presence. It may appear to the public that all activities will come to a standstill without you."
Lagnesha - location of life
force, natural sphere of action
Lagnesha Surya
is very auspiciously placed in putra bhava. Lagnesha shows how the
individual identifies oneself with particular undertakings, ventures,
traditions, and departments of society.
The native
sees oneself as an entertainer, politician, literati, genius, lucky one,
creative child, speculator, philosopher, opportunist, coach, and enthusiast
for all life has to offer.
There are
strong physically active and humanistic educational themes in the social
personality due to dominant co-tenant L-4/L-9 Kuja. Also significant
mentalization due to community-and-tradition oriented L-2/L-11 Budha.
Compare
to Surya/Dhanau = lagnesha for Richard
Nixon and Paramahansa
Yogananda.
Lagnesha is fallen in D-9 where the
native's behavior in relationships (including professional relationships) is
seen. Again, difficulties with women (sometimes productive difficulties,
sometimes just frustrating) are a concern in the path of social personality
development. It will be essential for this native to learn how to avoid
disrepute & scandal from associations with emotionally distressed females.
Once that skill is in place, life's relationships will proceed much better.
Lagnesha = quite strong in the company
of uccha Guru in D-10. Social personality development through the career
path should proceed relatively well. Ultimately finding Surya/Chandra in D-10 Karka,
the results of personality behaviors in career are determined by radix Moon.
Chandra is a mixed graha for this native being located in the all-good house
of priesthood but also lord of identity-loss domain-12.
In the end most pointers in this nativity
suggest a good quality life of religious awareness and teaching service, much
satisfaction and public praise for writing and performing in political and
educational settings, and good results from foreign travel.
However because of the draining effect of
vyaya bhava the native's energies express best through the world of foreign
journeys, esp. pilgrimage, meditation & the imagination.
Temporarily, 10th-from-mahadasha-pati
For the period of the reigning mahadasha, any graha
occupying or ruling
10th-from-mahadasha-pati will give special career impetus.
At the time of this writing, 10th-from-Kuja = Kanya, where Lord Budha = yuti
the mahadasha pati. Favorable for all mental activities, gainful, and promotes
awareness of historical culture & traditional of the native's own
society.
Look to Kuja/Budha period for career success in all
areas of speech communication including politics, theatre, missionary work
such as preaching, speculative ventures based on inspirational talks,
storytelling of all kinds, and other speech-gesture behaviors. All forms of
articulation including writing are favored, but being L-2 Budha is esp.
concerned with the spoken word.
Shad-bala
of the Career Grahas
Respected
Madam, Namashkar,
Ma'am, I have gone thru each and every
page of your website many times and found that, you have given much importance
to Shadbala, also written in Brihat Parasha Hora Shastra.
My Mars & Mercury have weak Shadbala
points but rest of planets are strong, and Jupiter's Shadbala is 8.5,very
strong. Also Mars is combust in my Chart, so does it mean my two major planets
in Simha Lagna are not giving 100% results?
A:
The strong Shadbala
of L-10 Shukra casting drishti from a rashi of the yogakaraka Kuja upon
domain-10, indeed aids career.
Guru's Shadbala strength however operates
mainly from domain-12 in radix. If one is seeking simple media-driven celebrity,
the heavy shadbala of Uccha L-8 Guru occupying 8th-from-domain-5 gives
a counter-productive thrust. This strongly weighted & uccha Guru
makes you a philanthropist & traveler, who works best "behind the
scenes". Domain-12 activities are private & intentionally veiled.
Your cluster of Dhanau grahas crave recognition
& fame. But wise, strong uccha Brihaspati shows that you have, on a
spiritual level, already outgrown the need for applause or ego-flattery.
Shani also has good weight, which
fuels the survival-driven Shani/Rahu quest to gain identity validation via your
extraordinary personality.
Combust Kuja also has low total shadbala:
this means your yogakaraka Kuja needs strengthening through teaching service (4)
and religious study (9). (Also see Gem
recommendations).
Because Kuja occupies swakshetra in D-9
& a very friendly rashi in D-10, it is reasonable to expect Kuja's
portfolio to prosper in the current lifetime *if* intentional strengthening is
undertaken.
Surya shadbala is modest. Thus lagnesha
Surya, which is an excellent graha in most ways, can beneficially be
strengthened.
Q:
Also i got a new concept of bidding from u
ie. the planets in cluster will carry out the agenda of highest degree planet,
ie. in 5th Mars Agenda, and Shani carry, Rahu's Agenda, ie Leo's work in lagna.
Also in Navamsha Shani occupies Tula Navamsha, along with Surya and Jupiter so
Venus Agenda in Radix. Kindly write about these concepts in the chart analysis,
may be this will clarify my doubts and enhance my concepts.
- Best Regards . Ashish Seth.
aspiring_film_star Jai Ganesha.
A:
Well it is much as you have stated, that the
graha who owns the highest rashi degree will dominate other grahas in the rashi,
and enforce its agenda upon them. The graha which obtains the highest longitude
in radix is called by Sage Jaimini the atmakaraka.
The atmakaraka shows the maximum spiritual achievement of the native, and it has
the power to dominate the entire radix for good or for evil. If the atmakaraka
is well disposed it can bring extraordinary earthly wealth but in an unfortunate
rashi or navamsha the atmakaraka can advance the spiritual progress through
creating apparent material misfortune.
In your case the atmakaraka is either Kuja or
Rahu (some Jyotishi allow Rahu as atmakaraka; others don't). My own preference
precludes Rahu. Therefore Kuja has highest destiny empowerment, and this is
further argument for intentional strengthening of the yogakaraka L-4/L-9.
Mainly for purposes of predicting the effects
of Vimshottari periods, one should expect that a graha which is dominated by a
higher-degree planet in will, during its period, give the result not only of the
bhukti-pati itself but also of that higher-longitude graha. In your case the
mahadashas of Surya & Budha are always influenced by Kuja, and sub-periods
of Kuja will be empowered.
It is not so clear with Shani vis-à-vis Rahu
because Rahu gains strength by always going backwards. We can say best
that periods of Shani/Rahu or Rahu/Shani will be particularly conflicted
and challenging, bringing much ethical political struggle along with fame or
notoriety at a somewhat high personal price of being temporarily ostracized or
defamed. You will look back on all of it and laugh, but at the time it will be a
bit of a roller-coaster ride.
Q:
... AND IF POSSIBLE IDEA OF RAHU
MAHADASHA IN CONTEXT OF FILM CAREER.
A:
Effect
of Rahu mahadasha on the Career, esp. Fame
In general, Rahu will give the result of His
lord Surya and also the result of His co-tenant Shani. Furthermore Rahu occupies
Dhanau navamsha and Shukra dashamsha, which means that the radix characteristics
of Guru and Shukra are evoked in terms of marriage partnership (D-9) and career
(D-10) during Rahu's Vimshottari
mahadasha.
In general Rahu mahadasha does favor the
career & public life. Each bhukti must be evaluated separately, by looking
at the angle between Rahu & each bhuktipat. For example, Rahu-Guru at a 2/12
angle will signify material loss (likely also spiritual gain); whereas,
Rahu/Surya, Rahu/Kuja, and Rahu/Budha are all highly favorable at a 5/9 angle.
Rahu/Surya is especially famous & charismatic.
It would be a very long analysis to describe
each of these angles in detail, but in general it should be straightforward to
see that:
then to develop the full profile of each
bhukti.add other favorable characteristics such as:
Conflict: Rahu vs Shani
Rahu periods are inherently volatile. These
periods positively surge
with desires. Shani of course is an anti-desire, conformist, safety-first force.
Rahu yuti Shani in lagna can be a signal of
mental health conflict
if the native is not sufficiently conscious.
There is much struggle with the
self-image, the conflict is between the working-class or culturally conservative
aspect of the self identity versus the foreign-identified or risk-taking
adventurous aspect of the identity. The result if often a degree of social
ostracization due to awkward relationships, unless the native is very skillful
in managing this identity conflict.
Typically when Rahu occupies Surya's rashi
there is the danger of extreme self-obsession or even psychosis. The native
may come to believe that one is entitled to enjoy the company of royalty (remember the
myth of Rahu). Yet the royalty perceive one as a common worker. A battle
of self-assertion ensues.
It will be
important to appreciate this conflict in social identity to be able to develop a
unique, pragmatic, and secure social identity which is flexible and creative
without being irresponsible, and which is adventurous without being insulting to
traditional class behaviors.
Rahu brings a lot of low, rough people and
foreigners into one's life. According to the pollution rules of one's social
group, Rahu will bring pollution too - either ritual pollution or biochemical
pollution or both. Rahu people endure a lot of pollution-cleansing cycles!
It is important to have a dignified,
educated approach to
cultural conflict and to appreciate that one's basic values & social identity
always refer back to the birth family & culture of origin. Spiritual
identity is aligned with the Divine but social identity is aligned with the
parents, extended family, tribe, village, region, religion, food customs,
etc.
Rahu people have a tendency to disregard
the social rules. Rules feel oppressive or trivial to this native. But by
showing contempt for these conformist, social-safety-net rules, they can become
ostracized (esp. as in this nativity where Shani in lagna is an isolating
force). Forewarned is forearmed!
As they say in the world of motorcycle riding
(motorcycles are very Rahu!) "Dress for the crash."
In order words, wear protective gear -
as in "astral gear", that gives aura protection - and stay
alert!
Rahu people should scrupulously avoid
pollutants like alcohol or other mind-altering drugs. Such indulgence
is particularly dangerous for Rahu folks because a polluted mind is not aware of
approaching danger. Also they should remain on high alert for environmental
pollutants such as evil, manipulative people or toxic chemicals. Rahu people are
super-sensitive to toxins of all types, and their judgment can be impaired very
quickly.
With skillful self-knowledge in place, Rahu
period may be a time of sudden fame and success, but also sudden scandal &
ignominy.
Luckily there are no graha 6/8 from Rahu so you will escape the worst of it.

Association
with Celebrities:
Q:
Namaskar: I was studying some celebrity
charts and found that important yoga of 10th lord in fifth house does give
association with celebrities, films etc.
My D-9 has Yogakaraka Mars of Karka lagna
in 5th house
Does that indicate that my spouse could be
a celebrity? Or it indicates that after marriage I get associated with
celebrities?
A:
Roles of Radix L-10 and Navamsha L-10
The location of L-10, which signifies
leadership and public status, shows the central theatre of public service during
the lifetime.
For example, Indira
Gandhi's yogkakara L-10 Kuja occupied her radix domain-2, for accumulated
family values (Skandha) and historic speech traditions (e.g. song, dance,
drama). She gave a tremendous number of highly influential speeches, and she
served more through speaking about Indian cultural values than through any other
method of service.
In Gandhi's case Kuja is also L-10 of
Gandhi's Kumbha-lagna navamsha, and therefore Kuja becomes extremely
powerful in public service. Gandhi's leadership career began in her childhood,
and was absolutely determined by her family (domain-2) of origin.
By contrast, another Karka lagna radix is the
actress Angelina Jolie. Jolie's
yogakaraka L-10 Kuja is very favorably located. Kuja/Meena occupies domain-9 for
children, guru, and world priesthood, yuti Brihaspati and Chandra.
Jolie serves most visibly as an
ambassador-advocate for world children's welfare. She works within the
international priesthood of world leaders overt and covert. (Most of the
people who run the world do not hold public office.)
In Jolie's Simha-lagna navamsha, Kuja is also
L-4/L-9 yogakaraka, but lord of the navamsha's own domain-10 (which is itself a
very significant career indicator) is Shukra.
Shukra in Career
In your own radix chart, Simha
lagna places Shukra as the L-10; and Shukra occupies
domain-4.
One strong signification of this placement is
that your public service venues are mainly along the lines of domain-4:
attractive homes, comfortable educational classrooms, and nice vehicles.
In career service, you will sell or handle
beautiful things, including beautifully manufactured vehicles.
You will deal with motherhood/parenting
concerns such as child safety, women's sensuality and sexuality such as looking
good, and human psychic & emotional needs to be attractive and protected, in
a primarily educational or sales role. (As Dale Carnegie used to insist, when sales
work is done properly it is a joyful expression of humanistic
education.)
Shukra rules sensual textures of all
kinds, including a huge range of "things made" or "woven":
from textiles woven of material fiber to texts woven of literary ideas.
Texture http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=texture
-
"network, structure," from
M.Fr.,
-
from L. textura "web, texture,
structure,"
-
from stem of textere "to weave,"
-
from PIE base *tek- "to
make"
-
(cf. Skt. taksati
"he fashions, constructs," taksan "carpenter;" Avestan
taša "ax, hatchet," thwaxš- "be busy;" O.Pers. taxš-
"be active;" Gk. tekton "carpenter," tekhne
"art;" O.C.S. tesla "ax, hatchet;" Lith. tasau
"to carve;" O.Ir. tal "cooper's ax;" O.H.G. dahs, Ger.
Dachs "badger," lit. "builder;" Hittite taksh-
"to join, unite, build"). ...
Kuja in Career
As L-10 of navamsha, Kuja does indeed have
influence over your career service. Kuja's proximity to Surya who is a karaka
for rationality and public life also strengthen's Kuja's influence on career.
Kuja brings enthusiasm & vitality for
coaching & promotional work, teaching & training, guiding theatrical
productions or "shows", manifesting the creative genius, and positive
expectation often called "good luck".
Seeing the spouse in the D-9:
The spouse is indicated by either lagna of
D-9 or domain-7 of D-9.
Light
on Relationships opines that about 80% of navamshas can
successfully profile the spouse through navamsha's domain-7, but the remaining
20% indeed must show the spousal profile through the navamsha lagna. Judging
from the hundreds of nativities I have seen in my personal practice, I think
this is probably correct.
Given Shani's influence as L-7 radix and also
occupying radix lagna, it is reasonable to assume that your navamsha is of the
more common type, viz., spouse = L-7 navamsha. Spouse's career does benefit from
the graha in the 4th navamsha:
-
Thula Shani gives discipline and
structured approach to goal achievement in public life of the spouse
-
neechha Thula Surya gives very humble
personality
-
Thula Guru tends toward careers involving
care of the sick or disenfranchised, with a strong dose of spiritualized
austerity as Guru comes under the influence of uccha Shani
Conclusion: reading either from the 4th radix
or 4th navamsha:
-
The spouse is a humble, hard worker
with excellent work habits
-
The spousal career itself is likely not
associated with celebrities, but may indeed be associated with government
authorities and leaders of society due to uccha Shani in 4th navamsha
-
Rather the spousal career is oriented
toward foreigners or outcasts, also women and relationships, probably in a
low-funded educational services capacity.
-
The married couple may well be
working together in a professionally coordinated way.
Putra bhava and Fame:
Domain-5
indicated self-expressive genius, fortune, and fame.
fame
- "celebrity, renown,"
- from O.Fr. fame
- from L. fama "talk,
rumor, report, reputation,"
- from PIE base *bha- "to speak, tell,
say"
- (cf. Skt. bhanati "speaks;"
L. fari "to say;" Arm. ban,
bay "word, term;" O.C.S. bajati
"to talk, tell;" O.E. boian "to
boast," ben "prayer, request;"
Gk. pheme "talk," phone
"voice, sound," phanai "to
speak;" O.Ir. bann "law").
- The goddess Fama was the
personification of rumor in Roman mythology.
- The L. derivative fabulare was the colloq.
word for "speak, talk" since the time of Plautus, whence Sp. hablar.
The main source of "fame" in most
people's lives is their children! (=
children of the mind or children of the body.)
-
From the spouse's perspective in
domain-7, children are the most prominent "fruits" or results of
marriage i.e. 11th-from-7th = putra bhava.
-
From the native's point of view, children
are the greatest form of good luck and self-expressive pleasure.
In the modern era, good health may allow
women to produce, in addition to children or in preference to children,
many forms of self-expressive genius such as theatrical works, literature,
political campaigns, & speculative ventures of all kinds.
Thus when we examine putra bhava in a male's
chart to profile the "fruits" of his spouse, we may look first
for material children but immediately afterward for other expressions of genius
such as authorship, social celebrity, and disciplinary fame.
Re: spousal production of children:
-
there will be a limited number of
children. Most reasonably there will be only one male child. This is
because Surya and Kuja are hot and dry while Budha is barren. The trio are
in general not hospitable to fertility; and normally fertile L-5 occupies
domain-12.
-
Surya, Kuja, and Budha are all happy
residing in the rashi of Dhanau, and their lord uccha Guru is also happy if
rather consumed into the world of the imagination = domain-12.
-
Your son will indeed be famous. Very
likely he will be an actor, and he will and bring many
interesting creative inspirational people into your life. (Verify in D-7)
-
He will express a deep humanistic love of
children and have a spectacular progressive world vision.
-
Due to the excellent moral values
inculcated in him by his parents, your son will much enjoy doing charitable
work (compare to actor Brad Pitt).
Re: spousal connection to other varieties
of genius including fame:
-
Kuja in the 5th navamsha suggests that
fruits of spousal behavior include religious (Kuja = radix L-9) and
emotional (Kuja = radix L-4) achievement through vigorous physical and
psychological healing work
-
Guru occupies domain-12, and domain-12
for the native = the relative domain-6 for the spouse.
-
The celebrity-attracting power of the
native's domain-5 is somewhat limited due to L-5 in domain-12. Most of the
celebrity connections link to those who work in covert social services,
ashrams, or service networks.
-
These people may be famous in other areas
of their lives, but they wish their philanthropic service to remain
anonymous.
-
Although this network of divine servants
may be international, it is intentionally low-profile. Thus the spouse's
power to actively attract fame to the native is much reduced.
-
However there is some
celebrity-networking power remaining even after factoring out the L-5 being
in 'hiding' in domain-12.
-
The spouse will socialize with
genius-expressing people, perhaps primarily in her role as the mother of
a highly talented son.
Spouse's own reputation = excellent
-
the native's domain-11,
5th-from-domain-7, displays the spouse's reputation
-
L-2/L-11 = Budha, a very gainful
graha!
-
Spouse will be well known for her
creative energy, particularly through *fund-raising* for charitable
works.
-
She will enjoy many friendships with
other humanistic teachers and positive social activists.
-
She is somewhat oppressed by traditional
social ethics (Shani in native's lagna, trouble from conservative
moralities) but in general she is very well thought-of and enjoys her
work.
Choosing
a new day job - the power of lord of 10th navamsha
Q:
Namaskar,
I am going to make a major decision of my Life.
I am getting an opportunity with Religious items based company. Now If i
join this company, my career of textile will almost get finished. Guide me .
What to do? textile job or religious based job? What will go long term?
A:
Namaste,
Let's consider the main points of career decision:
Lord of 10th navamsha and lord of dashamsha lagna = career direction
- Lord of 10th navamsha = Mangala
- lord of Dashamsha = Mangala
- Radix Mangala = Dhanau = religious concerns, priesthood, religious
implements
- Kuja = Purvashadha, padda-4 = success in politics
success in politics requires many contacts in the world of religion
Kuja yuti Surya.
- Ravi in Purvashadha, padaa-3 allows the native to "simultaneously be
employed and carry on some business". Religious items business can be
combined with other profitable activities.
- Ravi is also lord of 10th dashamsha, where Kuja is located with strength.
Ravi and Kuja supported each other very well in the nativity.
Kuja yuti Budha.
- Budha/Dhanau-domain-5 and Mula, padaa-2 favors industrial engineering and
professorship.
- Excellent for selling activities, coaching, & marketing work, if the
native believes in the good qualities of the items he is selling. The key to
success with this Budha is to believe that one's work in some way can
benefit humanity, as well as help oneself.
Current Vimshottari period = Kuja/Shani/Ketu
Ketu pratyantaradasha (sub-sub-period) not a good period for making firm
decisions, since Ketu is rather detached and apathetic
- if necessary to choose, then Ketu supports religion and in Kumbha, the
religion of the great masses of people, common working man
better to wait until dasha shift on 03-July-2008, when you start Kuja/Shani/Shukra
- Shukra = radix L-10 for career and L-11 in navamsha for earnings.
- Shukra period is beneficial for female customers and friendships, until
09-Aug-2008.
Hope this viewpoint is helpful in assisting your decisions. Best wishes for continued success!
Sincerely, Barbara Pijan Lama, Jyotisha
