Continuing to fill a pail after it is full, the water will be wasted.
Continuing to grind an axe after it is sharp, will wear it away.
Excess of
light blinds the eye. Excess of sound deafens the ear. Excess of condiments
deadens the taste.
He who possesses moderation is lasting and enduring. Too much is always
a curse, most of all in wealth.

Distinctive Features of the
Nativity
Karakamsha = domain-2
Despite his tremendous affinity for the
working man (Chandra/Makara/6) Ford was famous for his violent opposition to
organized labor unions in his automobile production factories. He used
terrorism against the workers and expressed his hatred for union labor
throughout his life. This Chandra occupies the 6/8 from lagna and 6/8 from
yogakaraka L-4/L-9 Kuja - serious internal conflict!
Behari says of Chandra in Makara/6:
"... restricts mental development, leaving you at the mercy of karmic forces throughout life. All efforts to orient your life in a specific direction according to your desire will be ineffective in the face of destiny. You will live and mix with laborers who have few altruistic notions about life. You will have plenty of money, but not peace of mind or social
respectability."
Neechcha Shukra = Troubles with Women;
Mangala (sexual pursuit) in 8th-from-Chandra:
Ford was reputed to be autocratic,
overbearing, temperamental, dominating and aggressive. He needed to have
things just exactly as he personally wanted them. When his conditions were
met, he often generated a stunning success.
Mechanical engineering of the internal
combustion engine with application to vehicles
-
Mangala/Simha with personality-defining
strength in lagna (but 6/8 from Chandra, much trouble through regal
entitlement to aggression) with drishti to domain-4, representing
properties and vehicles.
-
Behari says, "A lucky planet for you. The urge for rambling in the foothills and forests is greatly accentuated. If you can control your impulsiveness, you will attain great heights in life."
Invention of new power source for vehicles
drawing on hidden energies:
-
Rahu in Vrischika a rashi of Kuja the
inventor, in domain-4 for vehicles
-
Rahu (passion) drishti to the strong
L-1 Surya in domain-12, imagination
Obsession with lowering costs, making
automobiles reliable but cheap to be accessible to the masses:
 Transformation
of the lives of the parents.
-
His father was transformed from a
starving victim of the Irish Famine through immigration to a foreign
land. In his new country (Michigan) they became prosperous farmers. His
mother was Michigan born; her parents died in her infancy and she was
adopted by immigrant Irish neighbors. Rahu in domain-4 for parents,
homeland; Vrischika = destruction and rebirth
Rahu/Rahu period:
-
Sudden death of Ford's mother in a
deadly emergency of childbirth (8/Kuja/Vrischika) at his age 13, leaving
the family home in a stated of devastated chaos. :
-
L-4 Mangala drishti to domain-4 +
domain-7/8; childhood home/mother.
-
Catastrophic changes from Rahu.
Fabulous wealth after MANY complete
failures, bankrupting himself and several investors until a radical turnaround
approx 1903-1908 :
-
Shani + neechcha Shukra + weak Guru in
domain-2. L-3, L-5, L-6, L-7, L-8, L-10 all in dhana bhava.
-
His mind was on the money but
only after some awful mistakes taught him about his expectation of
limitation and fear.
Death of Son Edsel - May 1943
-
Budha/Guru period, Guru = L-8 sudden
changes
-
Ford's notoriously apathetic social
relationship to his son, who was publicly seen as simply a puppet or pawn
of his father, is represented by Ketu in 5th-from-Chandra, with Ketu's
lord = the neechcha Shukra.
-
On the material level, L-5 Guru gains
great wealth in domain-2, but the son's personality is much oppressed with
Shani in Kanya, domain-2.
-
Edsel was in charge of aesthetic design
work (Shukra). Shukra's artistic talent becomes highly pragmatic,
materialized, and (usually) publicly successful when Shukra combines with
architectural Shani. Edsel was responsible for the design of the Model-T
and other great styles.
Death April 7, 1947
Was Ford an anti-Semite/hater of Jews? Judging from the Jyotisha nativity,
Ford was not a racist or hater of any ethnic group. Rather, Ford bitterly
resented banks and bankers (Shani+ neechcha Shukra/Kanya/2). His earliest
farming experience may have told him that financial power concentrated in too
few hands was the source of the problem.
According to the Wikipedia
article on Henry Ford, Ford famously advocated his understanding of
reincarnation, which he said brought him much calm and fulfillment:
"I adopted the theory of Reincarnation when I was twenty six.
Religion offered nothing to the point. Even work could not give me complete
satisfaction. Work is futile if we cannot utilise the experience we collect
in one life in the next. When I discovered Reincarnation it was as if I had
found a universal plan I realised that there was a chance to work out my
ideas. Time was no longer limited. I was no longer a slave to the hands of
the clock. Genius is experience. Some seem to think that it is a gift or
talent, but it is the fruit of long experience in many lives. Some are older
souls than others, and so they know more. The discovery of Reincarnation put
my mind at ease. If you preserve a record of this conversation, write it so
that it puts men’s minds at ease. I would like to communicate to others
the calmness that the long view of life gives to us."
~~ San Francisco Examiner from August 26, 1928
Note on the Vimshottari Dasha: birth of
Ford's first child (Edsel) in 1893 should occur in a period of L-1 Surya. It
appears to occur in Chandra L-12 period which is untenable, therefore the
birth time (which is in any case unconfirmed) should probably be moved earlier
to 6:45 AM or so...
"A perusal of astrological literature
bearing up ''Wealth'
reveals clearly that in order to become rich, one
should have in his horoscope combinations which comprehend
a point of contact between lords of Lagna,
2nd, 11th, 5th and 9th.
Permutations
and combinations of these
lords give rise to a stupendous number
of Dhana Yogas"
~~ B. V. Raman, 300
