Luxurious pleasures via Children, theatre, celebrity, and Politics

Lavish praise, delighted applause

Characteristics of the Environment where husbandly-companion may meet the [first] wifely-figure.

  • children
  • gambling and games
  • creativity, genius
  • idealism
  • romance, poetry
  • literature, drama
  • politics, political campaign
  • royalty, royal court
  • celebrity
  • fashion, display
  • parties, glitter,
  • bright lights, artistic performance
  • center-stage focused activities

Similarly, for any gender, shukra-5 signals relationship-setting with feminine-figures such as sisters, cousins, aunts, schoolmates, neighbors, co-workers, and other ladies of interest.

Shukra represents women in non-caretaking roles as they appear and function in one's own unfolding lifeplan.

[Feminine caretaker-nurturers such as mother-and-grandmother, naurses and preschool teachers, are found via Chandra's placement.]

Hot, self-focused Surya controls the expression of cool, partnership-balancing Shukra

Shukra in bhava-5 = contractual partnerships that are framed within a setting related to theatre, creative performance, entertainment, speculation, and playing games.

The environment may feature themes of display such as dance "balls " (bailar), recitation of poetry and dramatic literature, or clever artistic show.

Other Simha-themed expressions may include political idealism, unique genius, personal charisma, royal court, romantic adoration, celebrity and celebrations, children and their delights, fashion costume and style, confident financial speculation, various amusements, gaming or gambling.

Where will Shukra-5 meet the marriage-partner?

Wherever the personal charisma and energy of center-stage artistic performance is turned up bright (5)

EXAMPLEs

Party with cousins (cousins= 3rd-from-3rd)

  • Publisher 1960-1999 attorney JFK-Jr.

    • Rahu-1 publisher and aviator. His future wife was working as a junior publicist (Shukra vikrama-pati-3) for a prestigious (5) fashion design (Shukra-5, shukra vidya-pati-5 from Chandra) corporation (Shukra karmesha-10 from Simha-lagna and Chandra). The relationship began at "Anthony's party." JFK Jr's best friend = his maternal cousin Anthony.

  • from Chandra (JFK's mother) go 3 bhava to Mesha = mother's younger sister (JFK's aunt Lee Radziwill). The younger sister's eldest son = Mesha + 5 = Rahu-simha-lagna (who was entitled Simha = royal prince). From Rahu lagna (= JFK's cousin Anthony) step 5 more for a"party" (5) especially one with a high prestige factor (5) and guests from the entertainment industry (5) in attendance. Chandra + 3 + 5 + 5 = putra bhava containing Shukra, and that's where young JFK met Carolyn Bessette.

In a place of entertainment or performance arts setting, such as a movie theatre or dance hall

a private musical salon

  • POTUS-06 American System 1767-1868 John Quincy Adams [patriotic-stabilizing Magha-4] + [Magha-Shukra-yuti-Guru-Uttaraphalgunī]

  • While serving as a diplomat for the newborn USA, JQA met Louisa Johnson Adams at a small, privileged social gathering in London. A gifted harpist, Louisa was playing beautiful music for the admiring guests.

where one is being celebrated, photographed, or applauded

  • Silly Love Songs 1942- Beatle Paul McCartney [regenerating-evolving Bharani-4] PJM met lifepartner-1-of-3 Linda Eastman McCartney at a gathering place for musicians. LEM was a professional photograph er, assigned to capture images of the famous Beatle for a celebrity magazine story.

Royal gathering

Drama class

where games are played, including gambling events, wherever financial speculation is enjoyed, such as stock-markets or currency-markets [Shukra finance]

or a political event such as a speech or a social gathering featuring the Shukra-5 native in center-stage sparkle

or a party, where fashion-style, glitter-glamor, and a dose of political charm, and the skills of getting attention are practiced.

Dinner party, musical performance

meeting early in life, while being younger children or adolescents, is also a circumstance of partner-meeting via putrasthāna.

Shukra is best suited to relationships between equals. Yet Shukra-5 often replaces the natural bargaining, equity-seeking balancing of 7-peerage with the solipsistic, romantic, adoring, drama, entertainment, celebrity brilliance of 5-self.

going out to dinner to be served like royalty in a restaurant = an effect of bhava-5 = entertainment or amusement . (However, meeting in the restaurant kitchen under circumstances of being workers such as wait-staff, cleaners, or cooks = bhava-6).

Meeting in a context of drama, adolescence, and romance

In a narcissisitic masculine nativity or other afflicted conditions showing lack of empathy, the feminine partner may be framed as showcase-wife, or trophy-wife. 5]

SukraSingha_SiameseCat.jpeg

Spends accumulated wealth [Shukra] on luxuries related to

  • children,

  • theatre, performance art, entertainments and amusements

  • actions and relationships which enhance the divine creativity

  • entertainers and performers, particularly actresses

  • literary genii, particularly womenfolk

  • politics and politicians, particularly womenfolk

  • games and gamers, gambling, casinos

Not interested in drudgery or moral education; thus, despite their love of children, the honorable task of parenting may lose its attraction * vikarshana.

May turn over their children to be raised by others, returning into their child's life only when it is time to have fun.

Sweet winning of speculative challenges and games, charmed by children, delights in creative genius, enamored of the romantic lover

Likes to dress in elite costume and receive applause from the audience. Well-liked in creative, literary, political, and theatrical settings, especially by their younger protégés.

A deep romantic;

highly indulgent with romantic lovers. However, it is intended that the Lion's Share of the attention should fall upon the Shukra-5 native .

Often, amasculine-figure Shukra-5 meets his wifely-companion at an entertainment event, such as a party or festival or at the theatre; or in context of children's performance, playing at games, or developing creative expressions such as authoring of stories. The female's ability to support his creativity is important to him, and her affectionate love of their children may form the true basis of the marriage.

Luxurious wealth of children and creative performance. Eldest child is often a beautiful girl.

Attracted to celebrity brilliance, creative performance, fame, children, and theatre.

  • Four Seasons 1678-1741 Baroque sacred music Antonio Vivaldi [publishing-explaining Aśvini-3] Career music director for children's orphanage. The performances were so successful that each year's operating budget was earned from the children's singing.

Shukra-5 adores politics.

***

Romantic interest in actresses (and actors), literary authors, politicians * especially Feminine Nativities * flamboyant dressers, people with high style and a need for attention. For the husbandly-nativity, may signify a "high maintenance" wifely-companion who needs significant praise and attention.

For the feminine nativity, lady friends may be fashionable. Much shared pleasure in // showing off //. Luxurious delights via cosmetics, costume, adornments, regal flourishes, the company of theatre people, and high society appearance.

  • money comes from children, theatre, politics, speculation and games

Unless Shukra afflicted, the husbandly-nativity tends to be pleased, enchanted, and entertained by the wifely-companion.

EXAMPLE

Lord of the Rings 1892-1973 linguist J.R.R. Tolkien [Shukra in publishing-explaining Śrāvaṇa-3] ++ Shukra-5 intakes drishti of uchcha-Rahu-9

  • Tolkien spoke frequently and lovingly of his wife Edith. Tolkien's friends were not so much enamored of Edith, whom they found impatient, prim, and too focused on class-status (T's Makara-Shukra).
  • However, JRRT adored his wife, and no amount of complaining by his fellows ever could dissuade him of her charms [T's Shukra-5 charming] ++ Shukra-5 intakes drishti of uchcha-Rahu-9 = Edith formed the lynchpin of JRRT's structured, opulent creativity = Shukra-5 rules 5th-from-5
Children,

child-raising,

creativity,

individuality,

uniqueness,

personal entitlements,

royal privilege,

exceptions to the rules

This parent perceives one's children to be very beautiful and precious. Perhaps to the point of adoration.

If Shukra is unusually well-resourced (uttama etc.) One may be infatuated with children in general and one's own first child in particular. The child is pretty and artistically talented (barring oppressive drishti).

In a rashi of Shani, service obligations may consume the native 's creativity, so that little intelligence is devoted to the children.

They are always However, attractive and bright. One enjoys an especially affectionate and appreciative relationship with the eldest child, who is often a daughter.

Agents of approval, admiration, applause = lovers, partners, and bankers.

treasuries, beautiful ornamentation, and romantic love are the primary means of gaining egoic-mind validation, attention and approval.

Tastes, Gifts, aesthetic preferences

Selecting a gift for the native with Shukra in bhava-5?

These folk enjoy pleasures of children, celebrity, ornamental fashion, and theatre.

In the bhava of Surya, shukra likes Silvery-Golden Shiny Things.

Ornaments and Accouterments of the drama-loving life, such as gracious appointments for the fashionable wardrobe or other luxurious items of art and music which enhance the refinement of one's children or political aspirations, will be much appreciated gifts.

shad-ashtaka 6-8 angles from Shukra = polarizing catalysis areas for alliances

  • relatively little agreement in 6th-from;

    potentially illness and conflict

  • secrecy in 8th-from , and potentially catastrophic shock

what seems "unfair" in the relationship:

adversarial, conflicted 6th from Shukra-5 = karma-bhava-10

  • Seniority, Laws, respect; Rank and Responsibilities: Regulation, routine, reputation, social Obligation, duty, Law and Order; Top Positions, Leadership, career, ability to Govern, creating an Orderly Environment; Reputation, vocation, profession: career, high social visibility, public approval, social reputation, hierarchical leadership positions; responsibilities, executive decisions; father's values and wealth; dignity and rank

  • How One Orders One's World = statutory law (not Divine Law) = Rules, regulations, methods, policies, principles; those who Impose the Law and its Consequences; Hierarchical Social Structures;"The Deeds which one is Required to Perform" requirements, obligations, rules; Executive Leadership, Vocation, institutional Governance, dignity, career, profession, civic duty, promotion

shocking, secret 8th from Shukra-5 = vyaya-bhava-12

  • Retreat. Hotels, bedrooms, invisible affairs, sanctuary space, enclosures, long sojourn in distant lands, dreams, sleep, dissolution of tangible identity, dematerialization, delusion, withdrawal, loss, forgiveness, release, other worlds, trails and paths, crossings and tunnels , in-utero and the birth canal, imagination, guidance of the ancestors, divination, phantoms-fantasy, research, reflection, retreat, psychic perception, sacrifice,

memories of parallel live sexile, liberation, depletion of life-force fuel, conjuring the dead, conduct across the bridge, conference with spirits, meditation, non-petitionary prayer, interiority, meditation and dreams, lengthy holy pilgrimage, foreign journeys, abandonment, imprisonment or involuntary sanctuary.

Loss of identity, endless sleep.

QUOTATION Das / Bepin Behari says WRT Shukra-5

" Venus is more concerned with sensual enjoyment than accepting responsibility.

  • Under its influence, you are more interested in appreciating or patronizing the arts than in creating them, and more interested in romance than the duties of parenthood.

You will have more daughters than sons, as well as being wealthy and cultured.

  • Your goal in life is not concerned with the attainment of spiritual awareness or an enduring reputation; immediate gain, sociability, respectability and sensual enjoyment motivate him.

  • Gain through speculation, investments, art and music, children, schools and playgrounds.

  • You may be blessed with noble sons, financial gain, success, capacity to compose classics.
