BPL COMMENTARY
For Jyeṣṭha births of a masculine valence, the condition of conversational, discursive, explanatory, instructional, argumentative, commercializing, evangelical Kumara may considerably affect the outcome.
For those born into the Budha-ruled paradigm of Varta, siblings, cousins, schoolmates, bandmates, team-mates, castmates, classmates, entourage, ensemble, neighbors, managers, cohort, coterie, collaborative group, publishers, messengers, merchants, commercial agents, reporters, writers, scripts, plans, schedules, instructions, radio-television-internet, news-media, conferences, committees, discussions, travel itineraries, and texts may be especially influential.
Instructional guidance is provided by emissaries from the civilizations of Antares. Their purpose is to communicate a forceful, dynamic, healing regeneration cycle via sexual energy transfer and discovery of secrets.
Penetrating Communications
[Busy Bantering Budha] -ruled Jyeṣṭha gentlemen are typically outspoken, incisive and decisive, competitive, descriptive, and energetic communicators. Thrikketta-born maintain a deep sense of mental seniority. Capable writers, Ketta men are quick-witted and skilled in handcraft. Articulate and pro-active to the point of verbal aggression, they find a ready audience on topics of a mysterious, apocryphal, hidden, or forbidden nature.
Thriketta fellows may be handlers of secrets of a sexual, psychological, political, military, engineering, or financial nature.
Masters of verbal control and manipulation, Zakra chaps are often found in politics. Due to the influence of nakshatra-pati Budha, often Jyeṣṭha -born use words to manage an ever-transforming experience of power.
In the process of channeling these mysterious and compelling kinetic energies, thriketta men may engage in sexual intrigue and dangerous liaisons. Ketta-born are natural psychologists. Jyestha can become transformative healers when their sexual energy consciousness evolves.
Themes of verbal contest, sexual energy transfer, and healing discovery may contextualize Jyeṣṭha 's terrestrial experience. Also applicable to Chandra in Jyeṣṭha - Antares
Taft in later years as an ailing Supreme Court Justice, approx 1929. After completing a series of elite jobs which he didn't like, and finally getting the one job that he had always wanted, taft lost 150 lbs. of bodyweight
QUOTATION from Shil-Ponde. [1939] . Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra .p 85
" A dark and sensitive nature ...
-
superficially religious
-
but are hypocrites at heart.
On the surface they are respectable, law abiding citizens, ostensible church-goers,
-
but secretly their morals are loose
-
and their tempers passionate.
Smooth, oily, and suave to all appearances,
-
they carry in their hearts schemes and thoughts which might not stand the light of day."

HEALTH and PHYSIQUE
William Howard Taft stood nearly six-feet tall. Since college, the fleshbody = remarkably heavy-set . At his peak weight, WHT carried 330+ pounds [159 kilos]
Taft was dubbed "Big Bill." The largest president in American history, WHT was the target of a ridiculing press. Rumors had him stuck in the White House bathtub, prised out by aids. More factual observers did comment that, in older structures built to a smaller scale, his handlers did help WHT to navigate certain tight spaces, both physically and politically. Taft wrote in letters that when prevented from eating, he was greatly inconvenienced.
Although it is not a universal feature of the nakshatra, Jyeṣṭha natives have a pronounced tendency to pack on body weight . Examples:
-
Egypt-Sudan King 1920-1965 Faruq al-Awwal
-
Ave Maria 1935-2007 tenor Luciano Pavarotti
Jyeṣṭha response to emotional stress often triggers eating patterns
- after losing the re-election in 1912 [and thus being liberated from presidential roles that he did not want]
- Taft dropped 80 pounds within a year [WHT age 55] .
- final total of 150 lbs released by 1923 [WHT age 66] .
WHT was a tea-total-er [non-alcohol drinker, only tea] as suggested by drug-avoider Shukra-yuti-Shani. Yet, he supported others' right to drink as they pleased. Shukra-1 fairness, tolerance.
Blunt force trauma injuries
WHT was repeatedly
- thrown from horses,
- in various automobile collisions
- having his hand slammed in doors
- other deep bruising.
- He regularly lost his voice from demanding political speeches, caused partly by political campaigns that required 17 speeches per day.

Kuja-yuti-Chandra providing many executive roles in the political hierarchy, the vast majority of WHT's assignments were granted by political appointment.

PHYSIQUe
Taft's physique measure 5-foot-11-inches [59 inches] and his maximum bodyweight peaked at 330 lbs.
In modern terms, his physique would be adjudged as morbidly obese . However, while a modern sufferer might be confined to a wheelchair, taft played golf, rode horses, and walked regularly whenever freed from the daily suffering of gout.
He suffered lumbago [lower back pain] , chronic acid-reflux, constipation requiring laxative treatment, gout in both feet so severe that he could not walk during gout attacks, and kidney stones [gout stones] .
- WHT suffered heart problems throughout adult life = maraka Surya-yuti-Ketu .
Taft suffered from severe sleep apnea as a complication of obesity.
Breathing Budha-yuti-Ketu also in 3rd-from-Chandra

A careful and productive writer, WHT was well-liked in bureaucratic circles due to his diligent handling of process [Shani drishti to [uchcha-Budha]+Surya] .
Jobs via appointment, not election = Surya zero-degrees + Surya-yuti-Ketu
WHT showed few earmarks of political ambition [weakened Surya] . In fact, he stood for only three elections in his entire 50-year career
- one for judgeship in Cincinnati,
- two for POTUS.
Ruler of 5 [politics] occupies 6 [sickness]
WHT famously and often said, " Politics makes me sick."

CAREER - BRIHASPATI
Despite lacking political charisma, WHT was seen as a man of expansive good will. During an era of continuing shaming-scandals, taft experienced no physical, financial, or political harm to himself.
However, many of his policies were criticized [6] due to Guru-10 rogesha. Dollar Diplomacy = Guru-Mesha-Bharani = ultimately failed, probably due to WHT's overly optimistic view of human nature.

Brihaspati has a broad portfolio, including jobs and people that WHT did not like.
Taft notoriously required his physicians [6] to withhold the seriousness of his ailments from his family members, in order to prevent the press from discovering the dire state of his healthr.

After serving in state judge positions, WHT expressed a lifelong desire to be appointed to the USA Supreme Court. Many delays and detours later [Shani], his wish was fulfilled in 1921. For the final nine years of his life, 1921-1930, WHT became Chief Justice and was greatly respected in the role.

Nellie was a powerhouse.
Herself the product of a political dynasty hailing from the USA northeastern cities, naHT oft bemoaned her husband's lack of personal desire to play and win . Historians consider Nellie to have been the driving force motivating Taft's lifelong political careerr.

Taft's career was defined by numerous [Guru] relatively brief elite appointments [10] . With only three exceptions, his jobs were by appointment not election.
Passionate, adventurous Internationalism
Life-defining engagements in Philippines and Panama.
[Rahu Mahadasha] [age 49 until age 67 = 1912 until 1930
After the four-year caretaker presidency, taft negotiated an unprecedented [Rahu rule-break] arrangement to be placed directed into the role of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. To date, nao-one else has ever started as Chief Justice in any US Supreme Court whether federal or state level.
Typical of Rahu, taft's route to the justice position was irregular and opportunistic due to his relationship with the presidential appointer, POTUS-29 Teapot Dome Scandal Warren G Harding .

POTUS-27 Dollar Diplomacy 1857-1930 William Howard Taft served as the Civilian Governor of Philippines 1901-1903. It was a time of upheaval and unrest in the tropical nation, with considerable violence from local warlords. At home in USA, gun violence continue at high velocity, and several POTUS had been fatally shot. However, taft was unharmed.
WHT was highly competent administratively due to Budha-Kanya [svakshetra] [mūlatrikoṇa if within 16-20 deg] -11 [uchcha] receiving drishti of Shani-9. Yet, he lacked ego-charisma due to Surya-yuti-Ketu.
Ketu is not committed to any fact, agreement, tenet, or principle. Ketu generally bends to the excitement and desires of stronger Rahu personalities.
- Taft was part of machine politics, and he played along with the party handlers [3] .
Taft's vociferous and inconsistent friend [Ketu-11] Theodore Roosevelt had to wait-out a term.
[Budha-yuti-Ketu] + [Surya-yuti-Ketu] misleading logic, ill-considered decisions
Ketu-yuti-Budha - miscalculations
Due to his campaign promises, tR was unable to hold office 1908-1912 -- yet, tR wanted to run again in 1916. Taft agreed to administer the tasks of the presidency as if Taft were a copy of t. Intelligent but unexciting, administrator Taft - who did not like electoral politics - was intended to be a placeholder president.
A highly unlikely candidate who rarely campaigned, WHT won placeholder POTUS-27 during Mangala-Budha bhukti due to TR's powerful political machine = Mangala-Simha-2.
Collapsing Ketu occupies 6/8 form Guru * election during Rahu-Guru bhukti * 1916 election
In the 1916, WHT surprised everyone [and made many enemies 6] by challenging TR's progressive policies and by running against his former friend t. WHT lost badly, handing the majority of virtually every state to the new face = POTUS-28 The State 1856-1924 Woodrow Wilson .
Yet WHT said that he didn't care [Ketu] since he didn't want the job anyway [Ketu].
After 1912, taft nevermore participated in elections. He taught law school while waiting for appointment to the Supreme Court in 1921, which he held until a debilitating illness led to death in 1930.
