Rising Degree of the Navamsha Lagna = 13 Rishabha (Taurus).   

According to M.C. Jain in The Stars and your Future, (p 21) 13 Vrishabha = the "Degree of Gripping":


"Denotes one who is energetic and active but who is threatened with disfavor, prejudice and adverse judgment. 

He has trials in life, suffers much, and he is likely to oppose or be opposed by authority. 

If Mercury is weak or afflicted in the nativity, the native suffers in business or from law, but if strong, he is a mental pioneer. Is is also one of the musical degrees."

(Uccha Budha in kendra, in mutual aspect to Chandra while in a navamsha of Chandra, is exceptionally strong.)


Budha & Shukra own the lion's share of grahas and key lagnas.


Fame

  • Arudha lagna = domain-7 = Dhanau

  • 10th-from-Arudha lagna = domain-4 containing uccha Budha

  • Bill Gates is most well known for being miraculously smart with calculations


Surya/Shani period (2006): Gates was ranked = wealthiest man in the world, with assets of over USD_50billion.


Classic wealth indicators:

  • Mutual aspect of L-2 Chandra to L-11 Kuja

  • L-11 Kuja yuti uccha L-1 Budha

  • uccha Shani + swakshetra Shukra occupying domain-5

  • neechha 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 uccha 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-3 + L-5 + L-9, all very strong

    bhagya L-5 swakshetra Shukra (see Parashara key wealth indicators)

    bhagya yoga: L-9 uccha 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 uccha Shani


    subconscious expectations/instinctive behaviors toward wealth are 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 uccha 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.  Uccha 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 mahadashas 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 Uccha Budha [exalted Mercury]. Ruler of 2 kendras, this position of Budha gives a "finance executive". 


Behari 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. 

Uccha Budha in mutual aspect to the Moon gives a mother of high intelligence & moral quality.


The father represented by Surya L-3 has 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.

Uccha 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's 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 Bill tremendous intellectual scope.

The negative of Mars in 4th house is usually illness & early demise of mother, due to maraka Mars nature and also for Mithuna lagna, Kuja is L-6 in the mother house... and directly opposed to Moon.

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 uccha 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: uccha Shani & uccha 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' 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.  Neeccha (fallen) Surya is greatly supported - perhaps fully neeccha banga - 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 uccha 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.


[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, uccha 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 uccha 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.)


 

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.
