Vimshottari Dasha Narrative



Rue McClanahan radix navamsha charts - Barbara Pijan Lama, Jyotisha


Note on Birth time

The stated BT = 21:30 hrs = probably a generalized time. In practice, birth times often need to be rectified to an earlier moment than the record states - most frequently 1-5 minutes earlier, although cases of 8-10 minutes earlier are not so rare. With home births such as this one, where the birth record is written some days after the child arrives, the time is nearly always generalized within a reasonable window (5-30 minutes) and BT must be rectified to get a good Jyotisha predictive result.

  • Ms. McClanahan's Vimshottari Dasha timeline fits her life events quite well, with the one exception of the timing of birth of her only child (1958). If Ms. McClanahan's birth time were set somewhat earlier than 19:30, the birth of her child would also match the dasha timeline.

Salient features of the nativity

  • Karakamsha = domain-2 = face-voice-remarriage

  • Lord of Arudha lagna = Shukra L-10, women, relationships, luxury, beauty, pleasures

    • Guru   = "double L-8"
  • lagnesha Surya = domain-7 in an inhospitable rashi + Mangala +  Budha

      • = L-4 from uchcha Vrishabha Chandra

      •  marriage-type relationships are exceptionally challenging due to Surya's self-interest dominating the partner house

      •  personality is somewhat clamed by Surya's stable 4th angle from Chandra.

      • Surya's proximity to yogakaraka Mangala brings benefit of education (L-4; she was a college graduate, rare in those days and in acting profession) and wisdom (L-9 philosophical wisdom viewpoint).

  • uchcha Vrishabha Chandra occupies domain-10 while Lord Shukra is yuti Rahu = high public recognition

    L-5 Guru in domain-2 receiving drishti of Rahu  and drishti of the Yogakaraka Mangala

    • is quite good for having personal money (apart from marriage funds.) Ms. McClanahan was the dominant earner in all of her marriages and according to her writings many of her husbands made a financial profit from the divorce settlements following their brief marriages to her.

    • Shukra Makara with Rahu = beautiful bones, a lovely facial structure

      • Shukra in domain-6, and particularly with Rahu, is nearly always a karaka for a substance abuse issue and nearly always the substance is alcohol.

      • However it can be other sweets or simply overeating as a drug. Shani is a constraining and disciplining force in 6 therefore the potential for alcoholism is much decreased, but there will be some tendency in this direction during stressful periods of life or periods of Shukra.


      • Rue McClanahan Vimshottari Dasha - Barbara Pijan Lama, JyotishaMarriage History

        McClanahan married six times and had one child:

        • 1958 Marriage-1 Bhukti: Rahu/Shukra; Shukra = L-7 navamsha = karaka

        • Rahu/Ketu: gochara Vrischika/Vrishabha; contacting navamsha lagna, contact Radix Chandra

        • 1960 Divorce-1 Bhukti: Rahu/Chandra; Chandra = L-12, animosity in marriage (not normally a divorce agent however)

        • 1961 Marriage-2 Bhukti: Rahu/Mangala; Mangala = L-1 navamsha
        • Rahu/Ketu: gochara Simha/Kumbha;  contact navamsha nodes, radix lagna
        • Divorce-2 Bhukti: Surya/Guru; Guru = L-8 a divorce agent 

        • 1964 Marriage-3 Bhukti: Guru/Shani; Shani = a marriage of necessity (seeking father to care for her young son)
          • Rahu/Ketu: gochara Makara/Karkata;  contact radix nodes
        • Divorce-3 Bhukti: Guru/Ketu; Ketu = karaka for divorce, separation, but not widowhood

        • 1976 Marriage-4 Bhukti: Guru/Rahu; Rahu = karaka for (exotic) marriage
        • Rahu/Ketu: gochara 
        • Divorce-4 Bhukti: Guru/Rahu; Rahu gives effect of L-6 Shani

        1976 Marriage-5 = Bhukti: Shani/Shani = a marriage of necessity
        • Rahu/Ketu: gochara Mesha/Tula;  
        • Divorce-5 Bhukti: 

        1997 Marriage-6 = Bhukti: Budha/Budha = lord of navamsha Chandra (a very weak marriage maker)

        • Separation-6 Bhukti: Budha/Rahu 

         


        Why the multiple and short-lived marriages with divorces?

        • One perspective is that both lord of navamsha Kuja and navamsha L-7 Shukra are harmed in the radix.
        • Shukra provides a great acting career and Kuja gives energy and enthusiasm for social activism (PETA) as well as life-force vitality. However, both of these graha are poorly configured for the task of choosing suitable mates and maintaining extended marriage commitments.
        • Another view is that Shani L-7 occupies domain-, and Shani has considerable strength due to His being swakshetra  and yuti Shukra the karaka for marriage AND yuti Rahu the karaka for sudden, impulsive entanglements
        • The atmakaraka is also the L-8 = constant (and spiritually necessary) death and rebirth of the Self
        • There are additional factors also.

         

        Vimshottari Dasha Narrative - Career

        Mangala Mahadasha

        • age 3-10 (approx)

        • yogakaraka Mangala = L-4/L-9 from lagna

        • Mangala = L-7/L-12 from uchcha Vrishabha Chandra

        • overall a pleasant and supportive childhood during the era of yogakaraka

        Rahu Mahadasha

        • age 11-29 (approx)

        • Rahu in domain-6 +  Shukra + Shani

        • Rahu gives effect of L-6/L-7 Shani from Simha lagna

        • Rahu gives effect of L-9/L-10 Shani from Vrishabha Chandra

        • a mixed period with some extraordinary wisdom, but continuous conflict in marriage L-6 along with interest in forming alliances L-7

        • given the abundance of graha which are concentrated in Ari bhava and Yuvati bhava, the native would have had a roller-coaster experience getting in and out of multiple alliances during period of Rahu

        Guru Mahadasha

        • age 30-46 (approx)

        • Guru domain-2 in an unfriendly rashi of L-10 Shukra

        • Guru = L-5/L-8 from Simha lagna

        • Guru =  L-8/L-11 from uchcha Vrishabha Chandra

        • Guru is the lord of one trine = 5= which continues the life grace in theatre; however Guru also = "double L-8" leading to almost constant self-transformation and the natural consequences for marriage

        Shani Mahadasha

        • age 46-63 (approx)

        • Shani in domain-6 , swakshetra and with Great Friend Shukra, also with Shani's volatile and unpredictable enemy Rahu

        • Shani = L-6/L-7 from Simha lagna

        • Guru =  L-9/L-10 from uchcha Vrishabha Chandra

        • A mixed period with wisdom benefits coming from the L-9 from Chandra but the obvious problems inherent in Simha Lagna's situation for Shani vis-a-vis marriage and contractual agreements.

        • A very good career period engaging both the L-7 from lagna and the L-10 from Chandra. She won the Emmy award for the character "Blanche" in the hugely popular television series "Golden Girls" during Shani/Shukra.

        Budha Mahadasha

        • age 63-death (approx)

        • Budha in domain-7 , yuti lagnesha Surya and yogakaraka Mangala

        • Budha = L-11/L-2 from Simha lagna

        • Budha =  L-2/L-5 from uchcha Vrishabha Chandra

        • very good period financially due to Budha = L-2/L-11 both money-makers and both with the lagnesha who provided her famous characterizations

        • Death in period of Budha/Guru; however the birth time may need to be adjusted Earlier (see note regarding birth time as the top of this page) so that death occurs in the period of Budha/Rahu because Rahu will give effect of L-7 Shani.

         


         

        Dominant lords ranked by number of tenants for Rue McClanahan  = 60 year acting career in theatre and television

        dominant graha = Shani = L-6 disagreement in relationships and L-7 marriage and alliances

        Ms. McClanahan played a number of well-known female theatrical parts, esp. a highly famous television comedy role as a woman humorously obsessed with marriage alliances but whose multiple marriages had failed due to her unbridled sensuality and her charming selfishness. This character "Blanche" has become something of a national icon since the 1970's.

        Also Ms. McClanahan is best known for her six marriages in real life, all of them ending in divorce or separation.
