Jyotisha Career Vimshottari Dasha for Oprah WinfreyL-2/L-3 Shani mahadasha:

Shani/Kuja through Shani/Rahu:

After birth to a teenage unwed mother who soon left for the North, Winfrey's first six years were spent on the impoverished Mississippi farm of her grandparents. Winfrey credits her grandmother's faith in her ability  for much of her later in life self-confidence to cross many barriers and accomplish her goals.

  • Uccha L-2/L-3 Shani for family of origin, values, and communication skills

  • Rahu in domain-2 gives extraordinary speech

  • Uccha Shani in domain-11 for goals and achievements

Shani/Guru: She also describes a harsh and what would now be considered abusive level of punishment, along with severe poverty, in her early years. 

  • lagnesha Guru in domain-6 for poverty, exploitation, social conflict, and servitude/slavery


L-7/L-10 Budha mahadasha:

Age 7-24 (approx, considering approx birth time)

Budha/Budha through Budha/Surya:

Winfrey reports an era of success in school but persistent sexual abuse from male relatives.

  • L-7 Budha for sexuality in domain-2 for family. Rahu in this cluster gives destruction of culture boundaries. With L-9 Surya, some religious justifications given for the abuse. With L-6 for exploitation and uncle + L-11 for elder brother/cousin as the agents of the sexual abuse.

  • L-10 Budha for public success, in domain-2 for speech, brings exotic beauty through attractive bone structure with Shukra + Rahu, and L-9 Surya in domain-2 while in a weak rashi is auspicious for speech and face as expressions of good fortune.

Budha/L-9 Surya = childbirth. L-9 is not favorably disposed for children.

Budha/L-8 Chandra = move to home of her father age 14-15 = sudden, forced changes of L-8

  • This change however difficult bears reasonably good fruit due to Chandra-Mangala yoga between L-8 Chandra and L-5/L-12 Kuja. This period may have felt imprisoning, but L-5 Kuja brings creative self-expression esp. in Politics, Competitions, & Drama. 

Budha/Rahu = Miss Black Tennessee, showcasing Winfrey's poise and beauty. 

  • Rahu + Shukra + L-9 Surya + L-10 Budha.

  • Her exotic/drama personality and speech skills attract radio news work, 

Budha/L-2/L-3 uccha Shani = education ends (L-3) 

  • move to new city Baltimore for professional advancement (Shani in 11) in communications work (3) through speech and face (2)

  • uccha L-11 for friendship, establishes Life Friendship


Ketu mahadasha:

Age 24-31 (approx, considering approx birth time)

Ketu gives effect of neechha L-8, Lord Chandra; 

Ketu periods evoke wandering, weak boundaries, and disconnected uncertainty

  • neechha Chandra in domain-12 of private imagination and sanctuary; can produce obsessions

  • however Chandra is also engaged in Chandra-Mangala yoga, so a performance career moves forward slowly under power of L-5

  • Ketu also receives drishti from Rahu, Shukra, Budha, Surya and Shani -- so Ketu is not without structure, energy, and initiative!

Ketu/ L-2-L-3 uccha Shani = move to Chicago TV

  • almost immediate improvement from a failing TV talk-show, starts to get market share from the competition

  • Shani casts a auspicious, speech-face-and-self-wealth drishti upon Ketu

Ketu/L-10 Budha = career development on an upward trajectory


L-6/L-11 Shukra mahadasha:

Age 31-51 (approx, considering approx birth time)

Shukra/Shukra

  • establishes Life Partnership

  • Syndication of TV show brings era of expansion and prosperity

Shukra/L-4 Guru

  • Book Club, L-4 for Education; Guru in Shukra's house-6 = Guru = 4th-from-Shukra

  • Guru in domain-6 = criminal lawsuits.  Oprah was sued by the cattleman's association for defaming infected beef. She was judged not guilty.

  • the period of Shukra + any graha in 4th-from-Shukra is always difficult, even when Shukra owns the 4th-from-Shukra domain.

Shukra/L-11 Shani

  • Angel Network, L-2 in domain-11 = funding for achievement of goals


L-9 Surya mahadasha:

Age 51-57 (approx, considering approx birth time)

Period of L-9 is generally auspicious throughout

L-9 Surya in 8th-from-Swakshetra and weak in Makara; results are somewhat limited.

From navamsha, Surya in swamsha gives a very strong effect of L-6/L-11 Shukra. Both continuing hard work and concern for all victims, plus extraordinary wealth and goal-achievement, may be predicted.

L-9 gives emphasis on priesthood, religious education and 

Surya/Rahu 

  • = massive charitable investment in a comprehensive residential school for orphaned So African girls; 

  • Rahu = foreign influences, in domain-2 for family of origin, values, saved money, and historical lineage 

  • Rahu gives effect of the hugely profitable and achievement-oriented uccha Shani in domain-11 for global networks

Surya/L6-L-11 Shukra 

  • = projected end of TV contract, her age = approx 57


L-8 Chandra mahadasha:

Age 57-67 (approx, considering approx birth time)

= probably retirement into a foreign land

Chandra in domain-12 and neechha, although energized by performance-imagination Kuja


Death in a future bhukti of Shani, caused by imbalance of the endocrine gland system (Chandra = L-8 in domain-12 for sexual-reproductive system + "waters" of the physical body = glandular system)
