Rising Degree of the Navamsha Lagna = 9 Rishabha (Taurus) Krittika "the cutters, critical" Nakshatra.

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)


wealth6_gates_dasha1.GIFKetu 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.

  • Note Shani is the dashamsha lord, good for maintaining high levels of executive power & public respect.  This is not the dashamsha of a major political leader - just a darned good businessman who has occasional interactions with the government.


 

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" 


~~ B. V. Raman, 300 Important Combinations -- commenting on Madhya Vayasi Dhana Yoga 


11. 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.
