"When the Day of Judgment dawns and people, great
and small, come marching in to receive their heavenly rewards, the
Almighty will gaze upon the mere bookworms and say to Peter, " Look, these
need no reward. We have nothing to give them. They have loved reading."

"The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts
our cages."
~~Virginia Woolf
traditionally, Jyotisha finds
"clerks and scribes" to have strength in commercial-administrative bhava-3,
while "poets and bards" belong to the domains of history (2) and
entertainments (5).
-
Successful writers of culturally celebrated literaturemust display strength in all three domains:
2, 3, and 5. -
In order for their success to include financial
gain, strength in domains 11 and 9 is also required.
"Writing is like sex. First you do it for
love, then you do it for your friends, and then you do it for money."
Salient features of the nativity
-
Karakamsha = bhava-3, writing, publications
-
lagnesha Budha + L-5 Shukra yuti Surya. Whatever the difficulties of
their relationship, Adeline Virginia was aligned in personality with
her father Sir Leslie Stephen. His interest in books and profession in
magazine publishing = Surya (father) + Budha-Mithuna (publishing) +
L-5 Shukra-Mithuna (creative writing, literature). -
L-3 Surya (manual skill of writing) + L-5 Shukra (creative
intelligence of authorship) + Budha (karaka for communications media,
publishing) -
tremendous influence of Kuja = L-6+L-11 from Mithuna
lagna and L-1+L-8 from Mesha-Chandra, throughout the
nativity. -
Kuja = L-6+L-11 = profits are equal to expenses, generally. -
Rahu-Vrischika in Ripu Bhava - disease condition = hormone
imbalance in the sexual-reproductive system. Sexual exploitation by brothers
(lord Kuja = brothers). -
L-8 = neechcha Shani. Unfavorable hidden relationships=
secretly sexually abused by her elder brother (11) = neechcha L-8 in 11
-
Ketu in bhava 12 =
Rahu in bhava 6
-
ambivalence (Ketu) toward
retreat, ancestor-guides,
and dreams; unable to attain
peaceful sanctuary
-
desire (Rahu) to be recognized as a
clever adversary,
adventurous druggist, or agent of
conflict
Shukra-Makara in
bhava-8: = bhava-8 mysterious relationships = Shukra is combust
in Woolf's case therefore the effects are less pronounced. However
overall the impact of literary-imaginative L-5+L-12 Makara Shukra in 8
will be that one prefers the alliances made with partners of senior
standing in one's own profession. Her husband Leonard Bloom was a
professionally respected writer and publisher with whom she co-owned
a publically recognized literary press. In 8, Shukra gives the
aesthetic of hidden liaisons. One prefers to maintain a
public reputation as a person who reveals the unknown, exposes secrets,
yet conducts oneself with dignity despite the catastrophic changes
enforced by traumatic upheaval. Extraordinary Pressure at the time of Suicide:
-
suicide during her Sade Sati age 59 in March of
1941.
-
It is believed that she suffered bi-polar
disorder (or something similar) during most of her adult life.
-
Her Sade Sati in Mesha combined with a
daunting, ultimately unbearable pair:
