Rabindranath Tagore radix navamsha - Barbara Pijan Lama Jyotisha

Birth time is from an unconfirmed source, listed at www.astrodatabank.com with a note saying source is unknown/unconfirmed.

If the birth time is at all reliable, it seems like 04:06 is a better fit. 04:06 hrs would put Mithuna and Mrigashira in navamsha lagna and Guru = lord of 10th navamsha.

  • Mrigashira grants sensitive communication power and Guru as L-10 would indicate Tagore's destiny as a world teacher and political philosopher.

  • Budha in bhava-1 receives dik-bala

  • Swakshetra Budha = navamsha lord would signify the polymath, an international literati, commercial businessman, conversationalist and translator.

  • Budha is naturally very much emphasized by the parivartamsha yoga which results in a virtual Mithuna Budha in Sahaja bhava, Budha strongest location.

Also Tagore's wife was very young (age ten) at time of their ritual marriage and also she was twelve years his junior = more consistent with Kumara the Youth in Tagore's navamsha lagna.

Also with advance of the birth time to 04:06, Mithuna moves into dashamsha lagna which seems necessary to confirm the extraordinary career of the native , clearly based in communications, narrative writing, publications, meetings and correspondence.


Rahu in bhava-9 =

  • Rahu casts graha drishti upon radix lagna

  • shapes the social personality of a religious priest, preacher, or exponent of a wisdom-tradition

  • exotic, unusual type of religious teachers during this lifetime

  • risk-taking father-figure

  • foreign elements infiltrate the scripture or received moral dogma

  • temple-based philosophical education = unconventional style of dharma transmission.

Ketu in bhava-3 = Rahu in bhava-9

  • Ambivalence (Ketu) toward publications, announcements, and siblings

  • Desire for recognition (Rahu) as a father, professor or a spiritual teacher


Other Mesha-lagna leaders:

Tagore's works in free digital editions at Project Gutenberg http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/t


Atmakaraka and Karakamsha

  • Atmakaraka = significator of the soul = L-9+L-12 Guru in home-culture, patriotic, secure bandhu bhava

  • Guru occupies 9th navamsha (dharma, wisdom teaching)

  • Karakamsha = bhava-11 = community networking,social progressive movements, interlinked web of association, social-material gains and marketplace earnings

Arudha lagna

  • Arudha lagna = bhava-5 Simha = creativity and literature, gambling and games, wealth from speculation, intelligence, center-stage roles, prizes and applause

  • lord of Arudha lagna = L-5 uchcha Surya in Meshalagna= worldwide fame and prizes

Lagna and Lagnesha

= realm of activity with which one is most closely socially identified

  • Mesha-lagna = individualistic, self-motivated, innovative, selfish

  • Azwini-lagna = detachment (Ketu-ruled), independent spirit, craves new birth and needs a twin

  • Lagnesha =Mangala in 3 (writing) in parivartamsha yoga with Budha (writing) in lagna

  • L-1+L-8 from lagna + L-2+L-9 from Chandra in domain 12 = strong personality (1) agent of transformation (8) articulator of values and curator of personal wealth (2) wisdom teacher (9)

parivartamsha

  1. Mangala L-1+L-8 + Budha L-3+L-6 (not easy but can be an engine of movement: 1 mixed with 3+6+8)

  2. Chandra L-4 + Guru L-8+L-11 = profound love of homeland and watery places (coastal Bengal)

Kemadruma Yoga

  • none (graha exist in 2nd from Chandra)

Hamsa yoga
  • uchcha Guru in kendra-4, lord of Chandra
  • = exceptionally strong but also open-minded love of the root culture (Bengali)

Surya

L-5 uchcha Mesha Ravi = L-6 from Chandra

  • in radix lagna

  • receiving Parashari drishti of an exceptionally influential Rahu-9

Naturally, the vibrant uchcha lord of the 5th house of creative performance will bring highly praisedtheatrical, artistic, and literary accomplishmentsduring the Vimshottari periods of L-5.

  • L-10 = uchcha and also the L-5 from Chandra = very auspicious for acquisition of social position and political influence (5) within large, hierarchical organization such as multinational corporations and government bureaucracies

Cautionary periods:

  • Surya = neither 6/8 nor 2/12 from any graha

    • periods of Surya move forward smoothly and with aplomb

Chandra

L-4 Meena-Chandra

  • in bhava-12

  • parivartamsha with uchcha Guru in 4

  • in RevatiNakshatra ruled by Budha ; Budha is greatly strengthened in Tagore's nativity via its own parivartamsha with Mangala

  • Chandra accepts Parashari drishti of His Lord uchcha Guru with whom Chandra also enjoys a parivartamsha yoga.

A retreating, wealthy, and deeply spiritual mother who lives in open communication with ancestor spirits

  • Chandra is blessed in matters of spiritualized religion -- the religious practice of meditation and prayer

  • Due to Soma's marvelous relationships (incoming drishti of His lord plus parivartamsha) with uchcha Guru the Priest, Chandra is also capable of full participation in the public, ceremonial functions of religion, including a deep emotional apprehension of the inner meaning of outer orthodoxy

  • the native is a profoundly sincere religionist, free from false piety but still dedicated to the values of orthodox ("straight teaching") schooling (4) in the root culture (4)

Personal and Family

  • Emotional harmony in life is somewhat compromised by Chandra in 12, which causes the native to need (Soma) to wander in distant lands.

  • L- in 12 generally will dissolvethe attachments to home culture, to mother, and to the Earthly location into which one was born. Uchcha Guru largely corrects the negative aspects of this yearning to wander.

  • He does travel extensively but the traveling is not harmful due to protection of Lord Guru.

  • Tagore becomes an itinerant (12) ambassador of his home culture and a distinguished (Guru = L-10 navamsha) international (12, Guru) exemplar of the Bengali literary tradition.

  • Nevertheless he does not stay home very much, and his attachment to the world's children is somewhat greater than his attachment to his own family.

Cautionary periods:

  • Chandra = 6/8 angle from L-10+L-11 Shani = emotional (Chandra) conflict with the restrictions of public-duty roles (Shani, 10)

    • Shani-Chandra periods exhibit the destruction-and-rebirth cycle of the 8th angle.

    • Chandra-Shani periods exhibit some variety of servitude and likely some illness which puts stress upon the heart. During Chandra-Shani period, if the birth time is accurate, Tagore was engaged in difficult work upon his Gitanjali, which was very demanding (note Shani in a hostile rashi Simha and hostile bhava-5) The literary workload was heavy, and so much creative writing in a hot climate probably made him feel sick.

  • Chandra = 12th from Shukra + Surya + Budha

    • Shukra-Chandra, Surya-Chandra, and Budha-Chandra periods create excessive interiority. These periods illuminate the creative imagination, but these periods also drain the energy away from the physical body vitality and from investment in the social personality's engagement with the material world. One pulls inward.

    • In Tagore's case these periods might have felt like voluntary imprisonment (12) which was necessary to produce literary works of the fertile spiritual imagination.

    • Although difficult socially, they would have been comfortable financially and secure physically due to Chandra's protection from Lord Brihaspati.

Mangala

L-1+L-6 Mithuna Mangala + Ketu = L-2+L-9 from Meena Chandra

  • Kuja = a tremendously vital and competitivenatural malefic = lord of two trines

  • tendency toward ambivalent action and self-doubt due to damage from Ketu.

  • L-2+L-9 from Chandra energizes the sermonizingbehaviors (2 = voice, 9 = preaching) and focuses active can-do attention upon matters of values development in children

  • Mangala attains great communicative strengthas the lagnesha enjoying parivartamsha yoga with L-3 (writings) Budha

    Ketu pushes his literary expressions into the realm of philosophically detached but vividly, vitally descriptive poetry

  • Kuja period scan certainly result in sickness and marital discord as a result of Kuja's overly active, warlike style of getting things done combined with Ketu's "surrender" attitude.

Seva

  • Despite the positive auspice of the parivartamsha yoga, Mangala does occupy the notorious 3rd from Budha and thus some mental agitation leading to a nervous depression could be predicted for this period.

  • The cure for unfavorable results as always would be Seva, particularly targeted to young men (Mangala) of marginalized social station (Ketu) who needed skills and training to begin their own commercial business (3) - however modest.

Vitality of Mangala

  • Mangala + Ketu occupies 12th-from-Guru, and Guru plays a dominating role in Tagore's life

  • It may be desirable to remove the mungaduring Guru period since Mangala would overly energize the imagination and perhaps disturb the ease of global (Guru) expansion as well as local community (11) development which Lord Brihaspati wishes to effect

Budha

L-3+L-6 Mesha-Budha = L-4+L-7 from Meena Chandra

  • accepting Parashari drishti of the Guru-ruled amplifier Rahu.

  • Budha is an essentially unfortunate graha, lord of 3-6, with a kendra-adhipati yoga as measured from the Chandra lagna. Budha rules no trine from either lagna or Chandra; therefore the Kumara will give mental troubles during His periods.

  • Yet, Budha's default output is transformed via parivartamsha with the L-6+L-1 lagnesha Mangala.

  • On the beneficial side, the quantity of literary output is fueled and made exceptionally active

  • On the negative side, the radix L-6 Budha mixes agenda with the radix L-8 Mangala, giving a productive but often adversarial and confrontational style of interaction with others.

  • Tagore was a genius by all accounts. Yet he was reputedly a man of uneven temper, very much prone to fluctuations of mood attributable to the Budha-Mangala relationship engaging the personality (1) with the communicative faculties (3) while Mangala occupies the hyper-mental 3rd from Budha

  • note that the Budha-Mangala parivartamsha includes the ambivalent, apathetic, dour Ketu/3 who flattens the mood as well

Cautionary periods:

  • Budha = neither 6/8 nor 2/12 from any graha

  • Despite His unfortunate house ownership, Budha's periods are made somewhat easier because Kumara has good angles from other graha

Guru

L-9+L-12 uchcha Guru = L-1+L-10 from Chandra

Guru = Lord of 10th navamsha + = atmakaraka

  • Guru rules two trines and = lord of Chandra

  • uchcha Guru accepts no drishti = Brihaspati operates unimpeded by the agenda of any other graha

  • matters of world culture and high philosophy (9) as well as subconscious (12) and private, imaginative realms (12) are enhanced

Cautionary periods:

  • Guru occupies 8th-fr Rahu and 12th-from Shani

  • periods of Rahu-Guru will enforce large scale and sudden expansion and transformations of the parochial belief system

  • periods of Shani-Guru cause loss of interest in the root culture andhard workneeded to produce works of literary creativity. These works may have a global significance but they are nevertheless very taxing to produceand take away time that one might prefer to invest in community development work or even just purposeful socializing.

  • During Shani-Guru periods, one may indeed learn to resent and resistthe responsibilities attendant upon having been born with an exceptional intelligence, and having mastered such a high level of literary expression. One is literally forced to create; it is not, during Shani periods, the joyful experience that outsiders might presume.

Shukra

L-7+L-2 ashta Shukra = L-3+L-8 from Meena Chandra

  • Shukra = rules no trines

  • occupies rashi of unfriendly Mangala

  • Shukra = completely moudhya = combust - nearly all of Shukra's independent power to harmonize and accommodate the interests of partners has been burned away by Ravi

  • L-2+L-7 Shukra's nobility of intention to maintain contractual bonds in this life are almost completely destroyed by the intensity of radiant, confident uchcha Surya.

  • the native is very attractive and noble in bearing. A princely comportment, loves to be first, best, smartest, the winner. Bloodline purity is important to him. (Prince = "first".) Yet also a love of luxury and attraction to ladies which is contradictory to the public image of a pure native son.

  • Shukra occupies 23 Mesha while Ravi holds 24, forcing Shukra into combust = asta condition which paralyzes matters of marriage, long-term harmony in relationship of all kinds, but increase physical body magnetic attractiveness. Despite all good intentions, infidelities are present, and a love of clandestine (12) activity is pronounced.

Vitality of Shukra = unobstructed

  • Shukra does not occupy the 6, 8, or 12 angle from any graha in the nativity.

  • Therefore periods of Shukra can be predicted to generate material wealth and sensual pleasure, especially pleasures of the private bedchamber (12); and these periods execute with very little obstruction


Almost Deathless

Shukra rules both yuvati bhava and dhana bhava for Mesha lagna nativities only.

  • From the Mesha lagna, both the natural animosity between Surya and Shukra and the fact that Shukra bhukti is the terminal sub-period of the Surya Mahadasha are significant amplifiers of Shukra's maraka empowerment.

  • However there are several exceptions to this general rule. The exceptions arise via relationship between Surya and Shukra in the nativity.

Tagore's nativity provides an excellent example of one of these exceptions in action.

  • Tagore experienced his Surya-Shukra period at age 43. According to Shri Parashara, Surya-Shukra should have been fatal .

  • However, in Tagore's nativity thecombust .htm"> asta Shukra occupies lagna, where Shukra gives vitality, along with uchcha Surya, who both gives vitality to Tagore AND almost completely burns out Shukra's maraka empowerment.

  • Tagor might have been immortal due to Shukra = L-7 and L-2 so completely disempowered, were it not for a period of L-12 Guru parivartamsha L-4 Chandra = "end of things" which finally gave him a much needed release.

Shani

L-10+L-11 Simha Shani = L-11+L-12 from Chandra

  • "double L-11 " Shani periods in general produce trouble with politics and politicians

  • Shani accept the incoming drishti of Guru-ruled amplifier Rahu

    one may gain prizes during the periods of an occupant of bhava-5 the house of applause,

    • but more likely Shani periods are the time to put in the major efforts that will later result in prizes

  • cold and dark Shani is deeply uncomfortable in the rashi of His enemy hot and bright Surya

  • Shani occupies 6/8 from Chandra

Cautionary periods:

  • Shani = 6/8 from Chandra

  • During the Shani Mahadasha, remove pearl

  • Chandra-Shani = health concerns; Shani-Chandra = sudden, forced changes in emotional condition

RAHU

Dhanushya-Rahuis enormously influential in Tagore's kundali.

  • Rahu casts His eye upon Surya, Budha, and Shukra in lagna, as well as upon Shani, = Rahu amplifies the L-2+ L-3+ L-5,L-6+ L-7+ L-9 and L-10 as well as radix lagna.

A grand trinebetween Rahu-Surya-Budha-Shukra-Shani

  • Rahu provides huge "upward leap" energy in matters of foreign (Rahu) philosophies (9).

  • Tagore's 18 year long Rahu period between 1922 and 1940 created relationships with literati, artists, and philosophers from both salon and university cultures, all over the world.

Cautionary periods

  • Rahu = 6/8 from Guru

  • During the Rahu Mahadasha, remove the yellow sapphire

KETU

Mithuna-Ketu = in radix bhava-3, 4th-from-Chandra, drishti of

  • 3rd from Budha is an unfavorable angle for mental health, signaling depression and negative expectations. When Ketu occupies this angle, the native may experience a crippling apathy with underlying despair.

    • Spiritually, this position is excellent for achieving knowledge of truth without misleading qualifications and judgments.

    • Emotionally it is a time of flat perception and aimless wandering. Budha-Ketu period could be exceptionally listless and also agitated mentally due to the complications of Mangala.

  • In fact, Tagore experienced this period only in astral form, immediately before taking his physical body in the year CE-1861.

  • Ketu in 3 with the L-1+L-6 Mangala is good for writing in a reflective, ego-detached voice about matters of ego dissolution and practice of separation from material identity

Cautionary periods:

  • Mangala + Ketu occupies 12th-from-Guru, and Guru plays a dominating role in Tagore's life

  • in addition to His karaka functions of separation, abandonment and surrender, Ketu subperiods during major periods of Guru can drain the enthusiasm for travel, learning, and philosophical life, rendering the native fit for sannyas
