USA Pres-39 Jimmy
Carter :
"Elvis Presley's death deprives our
country of a part of itself.
-
He was unique and irreplaceable.
-
More than 20 years
ago,
that was unprecedented and will
probably never be equaled.
His music and his personality, fusing the
styles of white country and black rhythm and blues,-
permanently changed the face
of American popular culture.
His following was immense, and he was a symbol to
people the world over
|
Prominent features of the
Nativity
-
Surya = lord of karma bhava, in
Dhanusha rashi
; lord of 7th-from Chandra and located in 11-from-Chandra;
receiving Parashari drishti of Mangala; in company of L-8+L-11 Budha.
-
L-10 in
2 will give
public recognition due to voice, face, hair, speech, and song; and the
native will become wealthy due to iconic public leadership activities during the period of
Surya. Lord of 7th-from-Chandra - the native sings about
relationships.
-
Chandra = L-9, occupying bhava-4
in nisturabhasi yoga yuti L-3+L-4 Shani;
-
Chandra
in Shatataraka Nakshatra ruled by Rahu, receiving Parashari drishti of Guru. L-9 in
4 = blessings of luxurious homes and vehicles, and strong
(albeit limited by Shani and deeply conservative) religious culture in
the home.
-
Mangala in
Meena
= lagnesha+L-6 from Vrischika lagna
and L-3+L-10 from Kumbha Chandra.
-
Receiving Parashari drishti of
Mangala. Mangala is quite weak in Budha's rashi and Shani's house, but
Kuja is gainful there. Mental health will be somewhat poor and
agitated, and digestive health issues are present, but the career does
well.
Budha
= the exciting but inauspicious
"double
L-8": L-8+L-11 from Vrischika lagna and L-5+L-8 from
Kumbha Chandra.
Guru =
"double L-2"
: (money and death)
= lord of putra-5 and dhana-2
bhava, in
12 -from
lagna and 9
-from Chandra.
-
Shukra
= L-7+L-12 from Vrischika lagna and L-4+L-9
from Kumbha Chandra.
-
In company of Rahu. Shukra receiving
no Parashari drishti. Shukra is not a notably good planet for Vrischika lagna.
With Rahu, amplification of the sensual beauty of Shukra who is
favored in the "good bones" rashi of Makara. The native's material
persona will be perceived as exceptionally attractive through
communications media.
Shani = L-3 and L-4 from Vrischika lagna; L-12 and L-1 from
Kumbha Chandra. Incoming drishti of Thula-Guru.
-
Nisturabhasi
yogayuti L-9 Chandra is very helpful for adding a religious
sensibility to the fundamentally practical nature.
-
Rahu in bhava-3
; lord = Shani,
yuti L-7+L-12 Shukra.
-
Ketu =in radix bhava-9, 6th-from-Chandra, lord =
Chandra.
Karakamsha
= activity for which one is best known
= Dhanusha = containing Surya + Budha
-
bhava-2 for speech,
song,
face, teeth and jaw, hair, money, food stores, hoards of all kinds,
family history, historical cultural values of one's people.
Elvis was
famous for all of these attributes.
Until his final, decrepit years, his
singing and acting performances surged with
extraordinary
charisma.
Ravi occupies the karakamsha with strength. Mr. Presley's first and only
marriage was reported to have been "staged" by his manager
as a media product for public consumption. Certainly the emotional
experience of marriage is much oppressed by his Shani + Chandra
drishti (missing-the-mother) to Simha. Yet whatever the motive, his
marriage - represented by bhava-10 Simha - granted him essential
social dignity.
Atmakaraka Vargottamsha Budha = Vargottamsha,
with Budha in navamsha lagna. Widely known for Budha = speech
+ song, the technical skills of musicianship (not the inspiration, which
is Shukra, but rather the
hands in instrument-playing); his
brash ( Dhanushya) sexualized (Budha takes drishti of Mangala-Kanya) youthfulness, dancing .
- Budha = lord of 10th navamsha= career very fortunate, considering the diverse and highly capable
talents of Budha
Budha
= lord of Jyeshtha Nakshatra =
radix lagna
Atmakaraka Budha in bhava-2 with
L-10 Ravi, the native becomes
idolized
after death
L-10 Surya , strong in
Dhanusha =
career, in the karakamsha with the atmakaraka and receiving drishti of
athletic, masculine, literary-verbal-plaintive Mangala. (However Mangala in Kanya is also a
perfectionist. He rehearsed extensively, a key to his exceptional
performance success.)
Beautiful-bones
Shukra
in Makara +
Rahu
= taboo-breaking arts (Shukra) communication (3).
Elvis
Presley's
photogenic appearance (Shukra-Makara) and his graceful but highly sexualized, cross-cultural
dancing (adding taboo elements of African slave dance)
-
Rahu-amplified Shukra
= karaka
for wives and lovers. Most men with Shukra-Makara will enjoy
female
companions who are quite beautiful due to
Shukra in favorable rashi, 4/9 from swakshetra
and these lovely women also have the "architectural" quality of a
handsome bone structure due to Shani lord of bones.
-
Rahu gives the peculiar or taboo quality
to most of the native's love associates (actress, model, exotic dancer,
escort).
-
It appears
that, psychically,
Presley was searching for a companion who was essentially his twin
sister. However his little sister did not take human form; this
would have been a point of romantic confusion to say the least.
-
Also
his material, identical male twin died at birth. (Shukra/Rahu/3;
lord Guru in 12, un-materialized form of the younger sibling.)
L-4 swakshetra Shani in bhava-4
= the childhood home in poverty but the parents are stable. Strong
religious influence in the early childhood home life (L-9 Chandra in 4,
albeit not by theoretical theology but rather in the style of the
"people's religion" (L-9 in Kumbha, the masses). Presley's
early life and was deeply influenced by the culture of populist
evangelical Christianity, which contributed the cultural roots (4) of his musical style.
-
"Permanent Sade Saati"
=
Chandra + Shani Nishturabhasi yoga = mother is a religiously identified person (Soma = L-9)
but she is always emotionally distant, and the native always wanting to
be much closer to her than she allows.
-
Mother has some private grief
which makes her "emotionally unavailable". However the mother
remains in her physical body past the child's infancy due to the
materially stabilizing effects of the swakshetra Shani + drishti from
Guru.
Chandra:
Premature loss of the
mother due to proximity of Shani/4.
Generally, much
Trouble making emotional connections with women.
Chandra is overpowered by the swakshetra Shani and furthermore Chandra
harmed in 6/8 from Soma's own house.
Result =
"emotional
paralysis" leading to distancing and eventual
separation. The paralysis extends to all nurturing relationships with
women, including wives, lovers, mothers, sisters, and daughters.
-
L-9 Chandra + atmakaraka Budha
in both
navamshalagna and
dashamsha
lagna.
-
During America's deep racial-cultural transformations of
1955-1975, Elvis became an iconic symbol of the threatening but
seductive mixture of black + white cultures in USA. Elvis expressed
a deeply emotional Baptist spirituality which infused even his most
provocative performances. The core of his fan base (largely in the
American South) perceived Elvis to have
qualities
of a religious deity.
Guru drishti
to Chandra, fertility = one child:
Lisa
Marie Presley.
Lifelong drug and food-intake
issues:
L-2 (what
goes in the mouth) Guru in bhava-12 = subconscious, self-destructive
eating and drug-ingesting behaviors. Guru's lord Shukra (pleasuring,
indulgence) much amplified by Rahu.
Chandra
in Shatataraka Nakshatra
an ineffable longing for connection
with the spirits in the network of stars.
Presley was hampered in his
cognitive understanding by a restrictively localized formal education, but he was known to be an extensive reader
on spiritual topics and deeply interested in
world religions (L-9 Chandra in bhava-4, education).
He had a
particular interest in the presence of astral beings who provide spiritual guidance (Shatataraka).
It is likely
that his mother was one of his guides in these matters, although she might never
have acquired the consciousness or vocabulary needed to successfully
understand the situation.
Ketuin
Dharma Bhava=
permanent detachment and apathy regarding matters of
ceremonial religion. Lord of Dharma = Chandra = 6/8 from
swakshetra.
Ketu/9 is a major handicap in Presley's quest to
understand spiritual connections.
Also indicates the detachment of
Presley's father, with the father handing over most of his moral
guidance power to Presley's mother (Chandra) - and then the mother's
power being much constrained by ignorance (Shani) and conformist local
custom (Shani/4).
Jyestha Nakshatra in radix lagna.
Jyeshtha gives
dark charisma and
psychic
certainty,
Along with potentially obsessive public attention upon the native's own persona.
Typical of Jyestha, Elvis Presley had a deep and abiding sense of having
been "chosen", rising from the toxic underclass to
transformative national leadership role.
Perhaps inadvertently, he
served as a great healer of racial-cultural anger and contempt.
USA
culture after 1955, influenced directly or indirectly by Presley's
"mixed" music, quickly developed a civil rights movement .
Unfortunately it destroyed him. Compare numerous similarities with
the nativity of celebrity dramatist
Brad
Pitt.
Vimshottari Dasha Narrative:
With Chandra in the first pada of
Shatabishakya Nakshatra , Elvis Presley was born into
Rahu/Guru/Shani period
Rahu
Mahadasha=
-
Age 0-14
-
Rahu amplifies the effects of L/12-L-7 Shukra
-
Shukra =
YogakarakaL-9+L-4 from
ShataVishakaChandra
-
Presley receives musical instruments from his relatives (Shukra).
-
He had
a somewhat ostracized childhood,
-
Rahu's full promise in Makara/3 develops the power to "eliminate
adversaries".
-
His music and his personality, fusing the styles of white
rural "country" music and black African rhythms
-
Presley emerged with established musical talent packaged
in an exotically handsome, underclass, mixed-culture personality.
Guru "double-L-2" Mahadasha
=
extraordinary wealth and creativity
Guru-Budha period
Guru is lord of karakamsha, and Budha occupies the commerce-and-media
3rd-from-Guru
-
age 21, breakthrough recording "Heartbreak Hotel" - number
one in USA popular music rankings
-
gochara Rahu-Ketu = Vrischika/Vrishabha = conjunct
his
Jyestha lagna
Guru/Ketu/Rahu
-
17-Mar-1957, acquisition of property, Presley buys the Graceland
estate
-
Ketu occupies 10th-from-Guru, public reputation, prestige,
leadership roles
-
Ketu gives the effect of L-9 (good fortune) Chandra, Chandra
occupies bhava-4 = property ownership
-
Rahu gives effect of L-4 Shani = deed and title to lands and
buildings
Guru-Shukra period, effects re: property and vehicle ownership,
the childhood home, patriotic activities (military service)+ L-4+L-9 from
Chandra, "end of things" for the mother
Guru/Shukra/Rahu:
-
death of Mother, 15-Aug-1958
-
circumstances of death for mother = 8th from Chandra = sudden death
from digestive problems, Kuja (sudden) in Kanya (digestive)
Shukra is lord of Guru, and Shukra occupies the sheltering, educating,
home-making 4th-from-Guru
-
at his age 24, began a love relationship with a 14-year-old girl,
Priscilla Beaulieau, who
became his housemate and companion
-
Elvis resisted ceremonial marriage for seven
years. Yet eventually in
Shani/Shani period the
pressures of social conformity exceeded his
Rahu-ShataVishaka
desire to "leapfrog" over step-wise conventional procedure, and the pair were
legally married
Shani
Mahadasha
With its potential of severe emotional loss, the period of the lord of 12th-from-Chandra
= notoriously difficult . When the L-12 from Soma is also the lord of Soma and also the
abstract, scientific, aridly conceptual Kumbha Shani, the native's
experience contains negative imaginings (Shani, 12) and feelings of psychic
imprisonment (12).
Shani is powerful in kendra and swakshetra. Shanaicarya imposes Adherence
to the law, both the petty human law (Makara, 12th from Chandra) and
the greater cosmic law (Kumbha, lord of Chandra).
L-3 = L-12 from Chandra = Shani period threatens the mental composure.
Emotional manipulation into nefarious business dealings. Shani's role as L-4
and lord of Chandra is healthier, bringing some variety of education through
independent reading, and development of owned property such as homes and
vehicles.
Shani/Shani period
-
the native may enter into legal marriage contract as
L-7 Shukra's lord Shani dominates one's life
-
(If Shani is not the navamsha L-1 or L-7,
marriage under Shani's timelordship is not quite
"involuntary" but nevertheless it is enforced by social
protocol or survival needs, and the wedding is usually a rather dour
or staged event with minimal religious value).
-
increased stability in the family home
-
mental health volatility, emotional confusion about
marriage and women
Shani/Shukra period
-
Shani = lord of 12th-from-Chandra, AND Shukra
occupies 12th-from-Shani.
-
A period of devastating loss, agent = wife or
lover (Shukra).
-
Shukra = lord of badhaka
"22nd drekkana"
-
Shukra + Rahu, infidelities and risky,
marriage-destabilizing behaviors
-
Divorce after sexual alienation and spousal
infidelity
Shani/Chandra period
Chandra = L-6-from-Shani
= extreme physical illness during Shani-Chandra, heavy emotional
workload, possibly unbearable pressure or stress
-
Chandra 9 Kumbha + Shani 3 Kumbha in bhava-4 =
Chandra dominates Shani = "heart attack" in the home,
during
Shani/Chandra/Shani
period
-
Chandra = lord of 6th-from-bandhu bhava and
6th-from-mahadasha pati Shani will bring enemies, cheats, sycophants,
unscrupulous physicians,
religious charlatans, drugs and toxins into the home
-
also, parents esp. mother will have toxicity
problems from a watery substance, usually alcohol. The unscrupulous
physician probably poses as a "religious" person (Chandra
= L-9) and is associated with the native's father
-
bhava-4 = heart+ L-6 from mahadasha pati Shani
creates iatrogenic heart disease;the ultimately fatal
"heart attack" is the result of drug abuse, and the
ultimate agent of the drug provisioning is likely a parent or
someone of parental status who lives in the home (4)
-
Chandra also receives drishti of Shani in
navamsha
Physical death, August 16, 1977 =
-
Chandra = lord of Ketu, apathy and surrender,
emotional unavailability of the father, detachment and possible
emotional
cruelty from the father
-
in psychic terms, the native died of
emotional
toxicity; in physical terms, he died of
chemical toxicity
-
gochara Rahu/Ketu = Kanya/Meena, approaching
direct conjunct navamsha Ketu-Rahu. Native is "called
away".
