Kuja!

Bhratruvriddhi Yoga

Kuja gains enormous strength in lagna in friendly rashi, in both radix and navamsha. Neechcha Kuja gains neechcha bhanga as Yogakaraka in dashamsha.

• Bhratruvriddhi Yoga = "Strength in bhava-3+ L-3, or Mangala". Kuja = karaka for sibling-type competition

Atmakaraka in the navamsha lagna is a super-strong position for making a change in one's culture, usually in a positive movement forward under the military strategy of Kuja

Extraordinary proliferation of strength of Kuja in D-1, D-9, and D-10 provides fuel for ambition in matters of bhava-3 such as younger siblings, competitive communication capabilities, courage, sheer muscular vitality and verbal prowess.

Despite conservative, objectivist, scientific Shani-Kumbha in bhava-3 of business communications, Mangala's strength will put plenty of vital energy into his Aggressiveand goal-oriented commercial alks.

• Bhratruvriddhi Yoga's competitive empowermentis enormously amplified by Rahu's proximity to Kuja in lagna. (Rahu + Kuja in purvashadha Nakshatra ).

Surya + Guru: Lakshmi Yoga

• L-9 Surya + L-1 Guru.Fortunate for finances and luxurious (Luxmi) lifestyle.

• Enormously amplified due to the parivartamsha Guru + Kuja + Rahu.

  • L-8 (hidden assets, secret information) Chandra's lord Surya + Guru the Expander in parivartamsha yoga with super-competitive Mangala.

• Surya = L-10 navamsha. Surya leads the career destiny.

• Greatest source of Laxmi wealth = GE's globalization, expansion into foreign lands

Lord of the 10th navamsha = Surya

• Career = political drama

• executive leader and independent decision-maker. The native sees his professional service as a kingly, ethical, brilliant, ultimately and divinely entitled, symbolic and iconic.

• Seeks advice, but will not be swayed by the opinions of others. Extraordinary confidence. Leadership by Divine Right.

Karma Bhava - an unlikely but highly empowered source of wealth

As 12th-from-11th+ L-10 can cause loss of income .

However, in this nativity+ L-10 Budha's financial disempowerment is corrected through parivartamsha yoga with L-11 Shukra.Shukra also = L-6, and L-6 will frequently cause financial trouble through debt. However due to the

• Shukra parivartamsha with lord Budha

• Shukra = neechcha in the 10th kendra

• L-6+L-11 Shukra obtains neechcha bhanga.

Jack Welch becomes one of the wealthiest men in the world in his generation, through the typically unlikely vehicle of constant leadership work.

Money-lending and Neechcha Bhanga L-6+L-11 Shukra

The re are many streams of wealth in this nativity, but one of the most powerful wealth-building activities for Jack Welch was the expansion of GE Capital, which transformed the old industrial maker of light bulbs and washing machines into a gigantic money-lending powerhouse. GE Capital bought and sold businesses in the marketplace (Shukra+ L-11) and made huge loans to governments and industries. In particular GE Capital financed third-world infrastructure development, offering usurious loans (Shukra L-6) to struggling countries for building schools, roads and electrical power plants (L-4).

A neechcha bhanga graha does not lose its neechcha qualities entirely, but rather those neechcha qualities temporarily acquire high social worth for the native. (Cf. Albert Einstein's neechcha bhanga Budha for "mystical childlike thought" which found a high social worth in Einstein's life and time.)

Neechcha Bhanga: The Ends Justify the Means

• In Welch's case, as always with neechcha bhanga, the neechcha means are not desired, but the end is socially upheld to justify the means.

• Neechcha Shukra implies fallen virtue, and the L-6 for social conflict, if ill-disposed, may involve a criminal element. The making of enormous loans to countries where bribery is understood and expected would certainly involve a criminal component.

• Welch was not necessarily personally involved in the underworld activities signified by bhava-6 ruled by neechcha Shukra (conflicted pleasures) but his financial gain from such a situation is clear in the Artha trine 2-6-10.

Public Trouble with Women

• The male native suffers very publicly (10) from the classic "troubles with women" associated with neechcha Shukra.

• Yet, due to protection from the neechcha bhanga, this repeating disgrace does not damage his career.

Shani

• Empowered Swakshetra L-2+L-3 Shani in mutual aspect to L-8 Chandra.

• Shani = L-6+L-7 from Chandra.

• Empowered Swakshetra Shani. drishti to radix lagnesha Guru. (Radix for material effects.) The native has a distinctively short physical stature.

Marriages

Dhanushya lagna typically faces a special set of marriage challenges.

• kalatrakaraka Shukra L-6+L-11 from Dhanushya = enemy of lagnesha Guru
• the partnership suffers from addictions or other impoverishing behavior of excessive sweet as well as argumentative and jealous
  • argumentativeness is more pronounced in the first marriage because Budha the natural regulator of 6 is also the L-7
• however the partner is also materially gainful and has a large social network of females and those earning in the market for luxury products
• usually the gains and losses are
• L-7 trivial-chat Budha = enemy of lagnesha Guru.
  • Guru-Budha animosity = contempt or patronizing attitudes in marriage
  • The guru-identified humanistic philosophical native may become highly frustrated with the commercialized, wisdom-adversarial Budha-behaviors of the spouse.
  For Dhanushya, the first marriage is ruled by Guru's enemy Budha

  Although Shani in 7th from Chandra kept Mr. Welch in his first marriage for 28 years, the relationship was very likely a shell.

  Ketu occupies the 7th rashi from radix lagna, while a vigorous, competitive Mangala drishti to yuvati bhava generates an intensely combative Kuja Dosha.

  The usual problems faced by Dhanushya lagna husbands include the wife having a lesser education or being uninterested in broad views of social behavior due to Budha lord of 7 giving a rather short-term thinking, adolescent character to the spouse. The spouse prefers the company of young people whereas the native needs adult company of philosophers, professors, and priests. In this circumstance marriage may be legally intact for a long time (Shani in 7th from Chandra) due to children and other social obligations (Shani) but there is limited emotional connection or compatibility (Ketu in 7). An amicable split is easy to accomplish due to the spouse's fundamental psychic detachment from the marriage.

  For Dhanushya, the second marriage is ruled by Guru's neutral Shani

  Therefore the second spouse is generally much more mature, practical and lawful than the Budha-defined first partner. So it was for Mr. Welch. His second spouse was so lawful that she was indeed a top-ranked mergers and acquisitions lawyer. Unfortunately his very strong L-2 (savings, 2nd marriage) Shani-Kumbha occupies bhava-3, which predicts that the native's money moves into the second wife's bank account . He lost about a third of his very substantial financial estate in the second divorce. Very adult and very lawful indeed she was.

  Dhanushya's third marriage is ruled by Guru's great friend Surya

  The third spouse is typically charismatic, attention-getting, fashionable, bright, and likes to be in high places. So it was for Mr. Welch. The third spouse had an affinity for prestigious names and locations (Simha), a royal sense of entitlement, and according to the placement of his own Surya in bhava-12, joined Mr. Welch at the beginning of his retirement (12) from corporate business. L-9 Surya is strong and well-supported in the nativity, enjoying parivartamsha with L-5+L-12 mangala, and close to a companionable albeit combust lagnesha - L-4 (home life, education) Guru. Indeed the third marriage has developed Mr. Welch's inner schoolteacher, and in context of the third union he has been profoundly involved with university business diploma programming.

  7th-from-9th contains the lawful and systematic Shani-Kumbha, suggesting that the third marriage is long-term (Shani) and likely to be the final union.

  Dissolution of home life

  Unavailable to the family home, for reasons of ego-expansion.

  • L-4 Guru in vyaya bhava with malefic Surya. The native is ego-identified (Surya) with matters of building his fortune (L-9 Surya) developing high recognition and rank for the social personality (L-1 Guru) and property ownership. Will purchase magnificent properties but spend little time living in them because L-4 occupies the house of foreign travel and dissolution of earthly connections (12).

    The fact that Surya also = L-9 is somewhat helpful but the connection to home and cultural roots remains "dissolved". Does not harm schooling (4), vehicles (4), or property ownership (4) but mainly it is damage to family life cause by Surya as lord of Chandra (emotions) with the L-4 and 4th-from-Chandra.

    Welch admits being a "classic workaholic" who was rarely home and spent little time with his children. Their financial needs were, however, fully catered.

  "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 Astupendous number of Dhana Yogas" ~~ B. V. Raman, 300 Important Combinations -- commenting on Madhya Vayasi Dhana Yoga
