Distinctive Features of the Nativity	YogakarakaL-5+L-10 Kuja + Budha, YogakarakaL-5+L-10 Kuja = lord of lagnesha Bharani Chandra "I try to live as normal a life as possible. You don't get spoiled if you do your own ironing." ~~ M. Streep (She wasn't going to get spoiled anyway. "Spoiling" requires Chandra + Shukra (not present). Ms. Streep's Bharani Moon plus Shani-2 ensure that she will work hard for the pleasure that she receives.)
Pushya, for females Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 93.	"Distinctly the club-woman type is found here. She is well-read, cultured and active in all community and social affairs. In her home she entertains and is fond of indoor games, bridge parties and social gatherings at which she is a charming and capable hostess. She will have her own money or her husband will be generous in his allowances to her and she will spend much of it on church and club activities and with charitable organizations. If she cares to adopt some public career, she will become very well known ."
Salient features of the nativity	Ms. Streep is famous for her ability to acquire pronunciation and vocabulary of foreign languages. Perhaps the best-known and lauded example of this talent is her Polish language performance in Sophie's Choice. A remarkable parivartamsha pair: empowered Budha in karakamsha with atmakaraka Shukra Atmakaraka = Shukra = harmony, beauty, alliances, balance, grace, sense-pleasure, art, food + Budha = articulation = music of language Ketu in bhava-3 in a rashi of Budha allows her to channel the pronouncements (3) of ghosts (Ketu), while Shani in 2 assures a tremendous workload related to speech, knowledge, and language. She is a known perfectionist who can exhaust herself (Shani) physically and psychically with knowledge-acquisition studies in preparation for a theatrical role. E.g., she famously learned to play the violin, by practicing 6 hours a day for 8 weeks, for her role in Music of the Heart (1999). Extraordinary parivartamsha of atmakaraka Shukra with Budha in the karakamsha = Ms. Streep is equally praise for her imagination (Shukra, 11) her beauty (Shukra) her articulation (Budha) and her goal-orientation (Budha, 11). Not to mention the Yogakaraka Mangala in bhava-1 1 of achievements in the high-visibility karakamsha. She is known for her achievements!
Guru	The nativity displays a disappointment of "false optimism" via neechchamsha Guru in her yuvati bhava. Ms Streep endured a tragic end to her first marriage before it even began, under sad circumstances of the fatal illness and death of her fiancé. In D-9, with Rahu-Ketu dominating the navamsha lagna, the husband and wife would have very different characters. The rushed, whirlwind quality of her first romance after the tragic death of her fiancé and the quick decision to have a wedding ceremony = Rahu+ Guru in Meena, navamsha 7th. L-6 Guru in bhava-7 L-7 Shani in 8th-from-swakshetra in bhava-2. Shani/Simha in 2 with lord Surya plunged into the private 12th could make a second marriage so tremendously delayed or so socially difficult that the native abandons any attempt to create a legitimate second marriage. That does not eliminate a private liaison; it only reduces the prospect for a public contract.
