According to M.C. Jain in The Stars and
your Future, (p 19) 9 Rishabha = the "Degree of
Misleading":
"Denotes one who acquires much by work and
application but who lacks the faculty of watchfulness in protecting his
gains from the greed of others.
He has an easy going tendency but gains from labour,
craft, and the management of his own affairs. He may be the victim of deceit
or treachery and should never put himself in the hands of others when his own
well-being in concerned.
He should avoid things and circumstances which he does
not understand."

Fame
-
Arudha lagna = domain-4 Kanya containing uchcha Budha
+ verbally aggressive Mangala
-
Bill Gates is most well known for being
miraculously smart with calculations and downright adversarial in verbal
confrontation.
Classic wealth indicators:
-
Mutual aspect of L-2 Chandra to
L-11 Kuja
-
L-11 Kuja yuti uchcha L-1 Budha
-
uchcha Shani + swakshetra Shukra occupying
domain-5
-
neechcha bhanga
of Surya,
-
according to B.V Raman's rule
"If the lord of the sign occupied by the
debilitated planet or the lord of the rashi wherein the debilitated planet
has its exaltation occupies a quadrant from the Ascendant or the Moon."
(Kuja, lord of Surya's uchcha rashi Mesha, occupies a kendra
from both lagna & Chandra.)
-
L-2 Chandra in kendra-10, 9th-from-swakshetra
-
putra-bhava for
self-expression, children, & good luck is remarkably auspicious:
L-5 in 5; L-9 in 5
L-3 + L-5 + L-9, all very strong
bhagya L-5 swakshetra Shukra (see Parashara
key wealth indicators)
bhagya yoga: L-9 uchcha Shani in house-5 of speculation
gives an advanced knowledge of justice, fairness, and equity. This moral
asset bears financial fruits. His philanthropic motives are extremely
strong (charitable instincts are always blessed), and also his sense of value in
equity guides superior investments.
for debilitated L-3 Surya which rules daily
business administration and is the karaka for self-made-wealth.
Well-situated neechha bhanga grahas are the strongest planets of all!
Surya gets extreme strength
through His D-9 position which gives the results of Surya's cotenant uchcha
Shani
Subconscious expectations/instinctive
behaviors toward wealth = very favorable for success in the information
economy
-
L-2 Chandra occupies a navamsha of Mars,
so radix Mars is the means of acquired wealth. In Kanya with uchcha Budha this gives superior intelligence in calculations and systems.
-
L-11 is a sign of Kuja. Mars occupies a
navamsha of Mercury, so radix Budha is the means of income, gains in the
marketplace. Uchcha Budha also L-1 gives mental focus to the
personality, added to the energetic enthusiasm and aggressive critiquing of
Mars. This fellow makes correct decisions. Like most wealthy people,
his L-6 is auspiciously configured - which means he has extremely high
intelligence for managing debt.
As always it will require a series of good foundational maha-dashas
to prepare this brilliant young man for his awesome future.
This is not a rags-to-riches story. Gates enjoyed an
upper middle class upbringing that familiarized him with philanthropic habits
and principles of social justice. He always had a clear moral vision of how to
distribute his excess wealth for greatest public benefit.
Budha Mahadasha - age 19-26
Young Bill was blessed with a truly excellent foundational
mahadasha of Uchcha Budha
[exalted Mercury]. Ruler of 2 kendras, this position of Budha gives a "finance
executive".
says, "Mercury occupying this sign & house produces a
great Yoga, heralding the birth of a great soul. Your thinking is very evolved
and guides you to a high social status. Your understanding of divine wisdom is
deep; you are especially an expert in the life sciences. There is no aggressive
behavior."
-
Gates will become more aggressive due to Budha yuti L-6/L-11
Kuja - his high-earnings planet as well as a source of "strategic" belligerence.
-
Gates has a truly excellent Budha in radix, and
also quite good in Cancer navamsha where it encourages independent thinking, and
reinforces many forms of intelligence - including strong intuition.
Young Gates' family home would have been infused with good order
& high
moral principles, while a culture of compassion & awareness prevailed.
-
Uchcha Budha in mutual aspect to the Moon gives a mother of high
intelligence & moral quality.
-
The father = Surya L-3 = abundant self-made
wealth. Third-house gives self-made wealth & it is abundant due to
Guru there. L-9 for father is powerfully exalted in house-5 for politics,
theatre, philanthropy, & literature. Bill Gates Sr. is a noted
philanthropist & civic leader.
-
Uchcha Budha L-1/L-4 indicates
his
exceptional analytical and conceptual intelligence. Especially
helpful in Kendra, 4th-house Budha shows success in education, although he was
no doubt bored to tears in conventional schools.
-
Yuti the "bean-counter" Kanya
Kuja, Bill Gates' Budha shows the
powerful computational influence of Mars; but Budha has the higher degree -
which means that conceptual, visionary, forecasting, and interpreting analyses
transcend the more detailed functions of his "inner computer" - giving
the native tremendous intellectual scope.
-
The negative expression of Mangala in bandhu
bhava = illness & early
demise of mother, due to L-6 + natural maraka Kuja in
the
roots + childhood home ... and
directly opposed to Moon. His mother was a genius business organizer and
extremely active in community organizations (L-11). Sadly, Mr. Gates mother Mary
Maxwell Gates died of breast cancer in 1994.
-
Budha/Guru,
- Guru is L-7/L-10 for business partnerships and leadership - Bill sold his
first commercial software (in high school)
 Ketu
Mahadasha - age 19-26
The "seven lost years of Ketu" struck Bill at
the perfect age. Very young adulthood is a time when western society allows its developing young leaders to experiment and float through
various roles.
Thus Ketu mahadasha, which can be damaging
to career in mid-life, occurred
at a socially harmless & creatively helpful time. The young man was
permitted torove in
the world of the imagination (house-12) & avoid excess social responsibility
until he matured.
Of course Mr. Gates was never really lost in
the profound way that Ketu can severely confuse some people.
In radix, Ketu's lord
swakshetra Shukra is dignified: favorably positioned in the 5th house of
intelligence, & dominated by the extremely auspicious uchcha Shani.
Gates attended
a super-prestige college (Harvard) & enjoyed stimulating relationships with other gifted, privileged youth.
However, true to Ketu, he dropped out of formal schooling, and
never graduated from college.
In his mid-twenties, he started an amazingly successful
business, under the auspices of two of his best planets: uchcha Shani &
uchcha Budha.
Shukra Mahadasha - age 26-46
Shukra came into full
power as the mahadasha-pati when Gates was 27, simultaneous with life-shaping
Rahu-Ketu opposition-to-axis transit which
happens for everyone approx. age 27-29.
Consistent with Shukra's role as marriage karaka and lord of
5th house for children, Gates married and produced three children during
Shukra mahadasha.
Shukra/Shani - 1998,
US versus Microsoft, an anti-trust suit, continued through
Shukra/Budha, keeping Gates' verbally self-confident and slightly aggressive
personality high in the public limelight.
His aggressive business tactics
were exposed for what they were - never harmful to individuals,
but warrior-like against businesses which competed with his.
Gates was
alternately evasive and philosophically dramatic in testimony. No long-term
damage was done to Microsoft - nor to Gates' personal wealth, which continued to
rise and rise.
Surya Mahadasha - age 46-52
Surya is a relatively quiet period in Gates' life because Surya is a quiet
planet. Neechcha (fallen) Surya is greatly supported - perhaps fully
neechcha bhanga - in the Bhagya (fortunate) 5th house.
Karaka for
fatherhood, Surya calls much of Gates's attention to parenting his children and
on a world scale, doing wonderful paternal things like funding children's health
and creating college scholarships
Surya rules sahaja-bhava, the 3rd house of self-made wealth &
communications.
Within sahaja bhava lies L-7/L-10 Guru, who brings focus on
marriage, business partnerships, and public leadership roles.
Surya
Himself is fairly quiet compared to the flamboyant swakshetra Shukra &
yuti uchcha Shani, the worker.
Surya mahadasha is a less public time of charitable giving,
fathering, and many many conversations!
Surya being in 5 with L-9, his wealth will continue to grow.
Surya/Shani
period (2006): Gates was ranked = wealthiest man in the world, with assets
of over USD_50billion.
[prediction] Chandra Mahadasha - age
52-62
As L-2 Chandra will continue to emphasize family life, the
transmission of lineage values, knowledge of history and tradition.
L-2 Chandra is also a maraka so the
Chandra/Chandra period poses
some danger.
However when L-8 is very auspicious - and Gates has the best,
uchcha Shani - longevity is tremendously strengthened.
Wealth will continue to grow.
[prediction] Kuja Mahadasha - age
62-69
Kuja is associated with animosity and illness, but because Kuja
is dominated in degree by the excellent uchcha Budha, the most vulgar effects
will be erased.
As L-6 Kuja can motivate complex banking activities
(loans); as L-11 Kuja may bring tremendous gains in the marketplace.
The
fuel for these activities, by and large gainful, is the superior analytical
intelligence of Mercury.
Danger of accident especially under Kuja/Chandra; tendency to
bowel illness; but also the intelligence to correct diet. Auspicious
therefore. Longevity is blessed by Shani.
(Wealth continues to grow.)
Marriage
= compatible.
Two hard-working and self-protective
partners, deeply concerned with security and helping to change negative
conditions in the material world. Shani people are sensitive to poverty and
despair even when they are blessed with wealth and privilege. Believers in
hard work and life structure, inculcation of traditional values in their
children.

"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"

Vanchana
Chora Bheethi Yoga - - Cheated and Cheats
Definition.—
-
The
Lagna is occupied by a malefic
Gulika in a trine
-
or Gulika is associated with the lords of Kendras & Thrikonas
-
or the lord of Lagna is combined with
Rahu, Saturn or Kethu.
Results. The
native will always entertain feelings
of suspicion towards others around him.
He is
afraid of being cheated, swindled and robbed.
Here
three sets of combinations can apply:
-
ascendant must have an evil planet
with
Gulika disposed in the 5th or 9th.
-
Gulika should be associated with the lords of 1, 4, 7,
10, 5 and 9.
-
Lord of Lagna
should join Rahu or
Saturn or Kethu.
In all these cases, the person will not only have
fears
from cheats, rogues and thieves but he will also have
huge material losses.
The combinations pertaining
to this Yoga are found in almost all horoscopes,
so that we are all guilty of cheating
and being cheated
one another in some form or the other. It is
a tragedy of our social life that a
merchant minting
millions at the cost of the poor is left scot-free while
the
poor, committing theft in the face of poverty and
want, are booked by law.
Cheating
is practiced
in a variety of ways. Fertile brains find countless methods
to
cheat their associates. The merchants have various
ways of cheating their clients. The lawyer is
equally successful.
The medical man commands many ways
to defraud his patients.
Gulika is considered the son of Saturn
and his
position is to be carefully fixed in the Zodiac. The
Yoga
given above refers to persons who will be the victims of fraud but the same combination can also be
extended to apply to those who perpetrate the deeds.

H.H. Dalai Lama re: "Altruistic Intent"
Question:
When a practitioner of the Great Vehicle vows not to enter into nirvana
until all beings are liberated, how is it possible to fulfill this vow?
Answer:
Three modes of generating an altruistic intention to become enlightened
are described -- like a king, like a boatman, and like a shepherd.
-
In the first, that like a king, one first seeks to attain a high state
after which help can be given to others.
-
In the second, like a boatman, one seeks to cross the river of
suffering together with others.
-
In the third, like a shepherd, one seeks to relieve the flock of
suffering beings from pain first, oneself following afterward.
These are indications of the style of the altruistic motivation for
becoming enlightened.
In actual fact, there is no way that a Bodhisattva
either would want to or could delay achieving full enlightenment.
As much as the motivation to help others increases, so much closer does
one approach Buddhahood.
