wealth from currency speculation

(Dzjcgdzhe Shorash, György Schwartz)

Reading in Progress

an extraordinary Rahu

George Soros born August 12, 1930 in Budapesht, Hungary.

• Forbes2009 list of billionaires ranked Soros = the 29th-richest person in the world, with a net worth estimated at $11.0 billion.

• Soros has given $6 billion to charitable and political causes since 1979.

Soros suddenly became a celebrity on September 16, 1992 when he created one billion dollars profit in currency trading on a single day.

This remarkable feat was achieved by a destructive gamble against the Bank of England.

The contest he won handsomely indeed. Yet his win had some bitter consequences, because it resulted in the much-resisted devaluation of the pound sterling currency.

• This extraordinary act of a single independent currency trader was both admired and reviled.

• Ambivalence and apathy (Ketu) toward distant lands, prayer and meditation, imagination, ancestor-guides, and dreams; yet no resistance to the intuitive streams of wise direction which flow from disembodied sources; unable to maintain privacy; disconnected in bedroom activities.

• Ambitious risk-positive desire for recognition (Rahu) as a clever adversary, adventurous druggist, or agent of conflict. Self-elevation in the worlds of usury, medicine, pharmacology, theft, exploitation, accusations and criminal litigation, military, fraudulent or work with oils and oily smoke, animal butchery, toxicity and pollution (chemical, social, emotional).

Soros has been a leading philanthropist of liberal progressive political causes in the USA and Europe.

Soros was a major bankroller for the campaign of Barack Obama, in whom Soros has said he has tremendous faith; and who Soros encouraged to run for president when Obama had first entered the USA Senate.

A famous trait of Mr. Soros by his own reckoning is that he suffers severe "warning" (Budha, signals) back pain (Simha, spine) when he is poised to make an ill-considered decision. Moneymaker L-2+L-5 Budha in 4 = psychic grounding cord into the Earth, bandhu bhava. Budha accepts amplifying drishti of Rahu

Some prominent features of the nativity,

• lagnesha neechchamsha Shukra shows his affinity for speculative ventures, and the difficulties of his early life during Shani mahadasha (uttarabhadrapada Chandra) are compounded by the Shani drishti upon neechcha Shukra.

• in combination with a sever Kuja-dosha in D-1 and Kuja drishti to Shukra in D-9, Neechcha Shukra is also responsible for two divorces.

• A distinct advantage of neechcha Shukra in 5 for the Vrishabha lagna = one accrues virtually no debt because L-6 Shukra = disempowered. It is a secret key to wealth. One may need to or choose to work very hard but the burden of debt which bows and crushes many others will not impede one's financial progress .

• the speculative BT of 1600 used for the present nativity places graha in all four kendra, with Shukra in 10 receiving drishti of Shani L-2+L-3 (capital-banking and self-commerce).

• Mula Shani suggests a tremendous work ethic and pragmatic humanism, as well as a dislike of highly visible leadership roles.

• Mula Shani in 10th from Chandra = heavy public engagement and accepting philanthropic duties far beyond normal range; Shani accepts amplifying drishti of Rahu

"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"

Suggestions from a reader re: Mr. Soros' Jyotisha nativity:

Respected Madame, I guess his chart should have the birth time of around 2:10 AM..

The dasha on Sep 16 1992 is Venus-Rahu-Jupiter....Rahu is vargottam in 11th house... exalted venus yuti jupiter in 10th navamsha. ~~ regards

Hi, I am very glad that you are working on Mr. George Soros chart.

I truly idolize him and actually wanted to be like him though it may be just a dream. Please accept my thanks.

I would request you to discuss his extraordinary intuition ability (he used to get a backache whenever there was a problem with his portfolio and it used to go away as soon as he corrected it), success in financial markets, abstract philosophical bent, struggle with living in his early years, also if his charitable acts (Seva, karmic points) helped him in retaining his wealth/position....

In march 2000 his fund SOROS fund management suffered the biggest loss (few billion dollars) which led to his separation with his fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller (he is the same person together with whom he had made 1 B usd on 16th Sep,1992) and after that he stopped taking high risk in his investments.

Hope to see your full analysis soon.

Best Regards
