Thoreau's obituary, ~~ Ralph Waldo Emerson's eulogy Thoreau, printed in The Atlantic Monthly [August 1862] " He chose to be rich by making his wants few, and supplying them himself. In his travels, he used the railroad only to get over so much country as was unimportant to the present purpose, walking hundreds of miles, avoiding taverns, buying a lodging in farmers' and fishermen's houses, as cheaper, and more agreeable to him, and because there he could better find the men and the information he wanted. There was somewhat military in his nature not to be subdued, always manly and able, but rarely tender, as if he did not feel himself except in opposition. He wanted a fallacy to expose, a blunder to pillory, I may say required a little sense of victory, a roll of the drum, to call his powers into full exercise." |

Rising Nakshatra Masculine Public-Figure Examples Chotthi - Vayu - Nishtya BPL COMMENTARY For Svatika births of a masculine valence, the disposition of mesmerizing, hypnotic, shadowy, exciting, passionate, ambitious, opportunistic, privilege-seeking Professor Rāhu may considerably affect the outcome . For those born into the paradigm of Nishthya, exotics, ethnic mixers, opportunists, fascinators, mesmerizers, privilege-seekers, impostors, rogues, agents of passion and desire, self-proclaimers, self-promoters, charlatans, masters of smoke and oils, and entrancingly ambitious persons may be especially influential. Guided by the instructing intelligences of Arcturus. Their purpose is to broker trade agreements and balance the interests of multiple ambitious stakeholders. Social justice, personal power [Risk-rewarding Rāhu] -ruled Svatika gentlemen are Mix-Master Middlemen. They tend to be fascinating figures. By skillfully mixing and trading with different folks, svatika chaps build exotic new exchange relationships. They are often found in policy organizations and government agencies, where their social equity work is distinctively multi-cultural. Their roles include trader, exchanger, bridge-builder, diplomat, negotiator, deal-maker, bargainer, marriage-matcher, alliance-designer, and other balancing activities that engage two mismatched sides within one functional agreement. Svatika represents Rahu's desire to amplify Shukra's quest for harmonious agreements. Rahu challenges cultural boundaries. The mix-master may skillfully combine unusual agents and mismatched agendas in order to obtain a rebalanced status. Similar to Sadachbia, the Svatika-born are mixed-system orchestrators who may take direction from Otherworldly sources. The character of Rahu is determinative. Due to their Rahu-gifted ability to think outside the box, Svatika-born may realize previously unthinkable opportunities for diplomacy and fair exchange. Their success is noted in negotiation, trade-deals, and bargaining in commodities, ideas, or services. In politics, Nishthya fellows may be associated with social, economic, or political integration of previously hostile or excluded participants. Their special talent is dealing with those who may be rogues, outsiders, stigmatized, or posturing frauds . Vayu-born graciously mix people and environments that were once segregated, by making successful pairings between ethnicities, religions, naations, or individuals of differing practice. Their pursuit of a social justice agenda is not entirely idealistic. It is ultimately motivated by their desire to obtain privilege by facilitating partnership geared to increased barter, brokerage, and exchange. Themes of opportunity, fascination with appearances, and acquisition of privilege may contextualize Svatika's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Svatika-Chandra |
QUOTATION Arcturus from Shil-Ponde. [1939] . Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 84 . " ... a slow and deliberative character,
While he may be slower at arriving at conclusions than most people,
He is very religious, somewhat orthodox,
Many priests or ministers are found to have Swati on the Rising Point." [end quote, Shil Pondey, 1939]

CAREER - SOBER SHANI Thoreau was a hard-working anti-slavery campaigner [5, political campaigns] . In the primarily abolitionist north, the main argument in favor of slavery was a perceived natural entitlement [5] to earn profits [Kumbha] from speculation [5] or self-owned business [3rd-from-3rd = 5]. Euro-settlers generally held that it was a sign of intelligence [5] for a respectable white man to systematically utilize [Kumbha] all the resources at their disposal. For example, thoreau's father owned a pencil factory, and dad leased a local mineral deposit to obtain the resources needed to manufacture his goods.
Therefore, thoreau had a surprisingly uphill climb [Shani effort] to convince voters that slavery was a dehumanizing moral crime rather than an economic [Kumbha] entitlement [5]. For the duration of Shani Mahadasha, starting his age 31 until his death age 44 during Shani-Rahu bhukti, thoreau lived in a state of exhaustion [Shani] as he wrote anti-slavery literature [5] and spoke on public political stages [5]. Typical of Shani-5, he dreaded having to deal with politics and politicians, but Thoreau soldiered on [Shani drudge]. After he died in 1862, the horrible bloody Civil War would decide that Thoreau was right. social-systems drishti of Shani-Kumbha-5 sent into

Evangelical Rahu-3 = passion for writing, announcing, declaring, messaging Walden 1817-1862 abolition Henry David Thoreau spent most of his adult life speaking and writing to the public on abolition of slavery. His dedication to the moral and legal task of ending slavery in the United States eventually produced firm national anti-slavery laws, after his death from lung disease [grief] .

[customary-protective Viśākha-4] [navamsha Ketu-Karkata] [Viśākha-Ketu-yuti-Guru-Maitra]
OUTCOMES - EVACUATING KETU Abolition crusader Thoreau persistently lectured and campaigned for the abolition of slavery in the United States. The anti-slavery speeches and writings that he passionately delivered did not bear positive fruit during his lifetime1817-1862. Yet, in 1865, after the horrible USA Civil War, slavery was finally declared illegal in the Union. Thereafter, thoreau's contribution to solving this thorny problem was seen to have been an essential contribution toward the American decision to abolish slavery. Environmentalism Furthermore, HDT's natural philosophy was largely disregarded in his own day. It was not until the 1960's, more than 100 years after it was first published, that Thoreau's reflective, critical environmental thinking became the cornerstone of the green movement. Ketu-yuti-Guru = Unusual family pattern of reproduction [Guru]. Thoreau had an older sister, an older brother, and a younger sister. Neither HDT nor his siblings ever married, thus no grandchildren for his parents. skepticism toward all philosophical teachings Walden 1817-1862 abolition Henry David Thoreau was a vigorous anti-slavery activist during the 1830's-1850's antebellum abolition movement in the USA.
