"All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

Rising Nakshatra

Masculine Public-Figure Examples

Uttaraphalgunī - Aryaman

Bhaga = Falgun = Utthram

BPL COMMENTARY

For Uttaraphalguni births of a masculine valence, the condition of radiant, romantic, intelligent, creative, idealistic, central, confident, gaming, self-reflexive, pitrikaraka Surya may considerably affect the outcome.

For those born into the Surya-ruled paradigm of Uttora, father-figures, politicians, celebrity, royalty, entitled roles, brilliant dramatists, radiant deities, sparkling genius, glittering creativity, intelligentsia, speculators, poets, romantic lovers, gamblers, and game-players may be especially influential.

Uttara-phalguni chaps are famously hot-headed. (Can be counterbalanced by a cool moon.)

Instructional guidance provided by emissaries from the civilizations of Denebola. Their purpose to brighten and glorify the divine intelligence through spectacular creativity.

Brilliantly dramatic

Simha - Leya pada-1 = radiant confidence, flamboyance, and remarkable intelligence. While much depends upon the characteristics of nakshatra-pati Surya, the Falgun birth of masculine valence favors dramatic displays of celebrity, romantic idealism, creativity, and entitlement.

Kanya pada 2-3-4 = equally smart and authoritative, but more focused upon personal enclosure and distant lands, often wielding power from a hermitage, sanctuary, or secluded location. May be an empowered politician of international ability, according to the strengths of nakshatra-pati Surya.

Although Shil Ponde's description often fits the Kanya pada 2-3-4 of Uttaraphalguni, the Simha pada-1 is rarely rough or ungrateful. Still, they can be impatient with others who are less confident or less intelligent.

Themes of political power, radiant creativity, and bright celebrity drama may contextualize Utthram's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Uttaraphalgunī - Aryaman

QUOTATION Aryaman

from Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra . p 83

" A proud and arrogant disposition,

• with a tendency to ride roughshod over other peoples' opinions.

Uttara natives are extremely intelligent

but because of their inordinate pride ,

• they accept favors ungraciously even when in need

and are ungrateful to those from whom they receive these favors."

[end quote, Shil Pondey, 1939]

professor of linguistics and history of English

Tolkien's philological[2] fabrication of languages songs, epic tales, and genetic lineages

His scholarly expertise generated an great body of humanistic knowledge about a mythical history [2] .

World-War-1 mass death, war-loss of close friends

Labha-pati in 6

Most of Tolkien's friends [11] were killed during conscripted military service in the First World War [6, ancient conflicts] .

JRRT sustained deep psycho-mental trauma, but he was never harmed physically. Kanya-Shani-1 rogesha in 8th-from-Chandra signals the harsh initiation into war-and-injustice [Kanya] but Shani responds with orderly personal discipline and as vidya-pati, Shani mandates the expression of a structured creative intelligence.

JRRT's war experiences, from propaganda-making to agonizing personal losses, are ultimately transformed [8] into the genius [5] of his legendary literary characters.

World-War-1 shapes a Cultural Wisdom viewpoint

patriotic military service = Chandra-6 war + Guru rules 4 defense

JRRT served as a lieutenant in the British Army during World-War-1.

He also volunteered to serve as a coder-encrypter during WW-2.

As he himself told the tale of his original motivation to develop uplifting tales of ancient civilizations, JRRT's need to reinterpret deep Germanic folk roots arose during the sheer barbarity of trench warfare during La Guerre Mondiale.

Having survived the agonies of a hideous war, which killed most of his friends, JRRT felt that the deeper truth of Germanic ethnos had been highjacked by horrible, unfeeling, narcissistic Draco, He intended to restore the naturally friendly ancient rhythms of traditional northern-Euro peoples [Guru-ruled Punarvasu lagna]

As he knew, this root-stock had lived in collectivities [Kumbha] which integrated numerous [Guru] conscious life-forms such as dwarves and elves. They took guidance [9] from a variety [Guru] of enspirited voices. Yet they were Earthen beings working the moral polarities [Chandra] of the School of Earth = dark-and-light, good-and-evil.

Zeitgeist Needs a Voice

Following WW-1 but before the onset of Adolf Hitler, Tolkien began to sense that the higher spirit which guided the Germanic peoples through their time in history [Zeitgeist] was endangered. The ancient Zeitgeist needed both development [Guru] and protection [Chandra] .

Languages [2]

Tolkien became very well known, even in his own lifetime, for his extraordinary scholarship [9] in the history of languages.

Cultural Heritage - Roots

roots values Karkata-2 storytelling Karkata-2 history Karkata-2.

As always for [Chandra-Kumbha] , comforting Chandra activates [6th-from-Chandra] accusations = Karkata ethnicity = bhava-2 traditions

• Lord of the Rings 1892-1973 linguist J.R.R. Tolkien was bitterly traumatized by WW-1.

• As WW-2 accelerated, JRRT became a vibrant critic of Hitler's Nazi expansionism.

• Tolkien claimed vigorously that Hitler had poisoned and destroyed the deeper Germanic ethno-integrity

MOTHER

Shata-taraka Chandra-6 = mom's diabetic health decline + impoverishing family conflict

[Kumbha Chandra yuti Guru-6]

Following her doctrinal exit from the Church of England, mom became a dogmatically engaged, preaching mother. Tolkien's mother was profoundly identified with her Roman-Rite adherent doctrina conversa and its priesthood [Guru] .

His mother converted from the Anglican confession to the Roman-Rite adherent faith in her adulthood. Despite fierce anti-Catholic opposition from her Protesting Christian relatives, mom remained deeply emotionally engaged with RC sacred teachings (9) and liturgical rituals [Chandra] .

MOTHERS FAMILY and CONFESSOR

JRRT's father died 15-Feb-1896 (JRRT age 4) . His mother's family vigorously disapproved of mom's doctrinal choices Shani-9

Nevertheless, when JRRT and his sibling were orphaned, they were schooled and and guided to university by mother's kin [Guru-2]

and especially helped by mom's confessor priest ( Shani-1 in 9th-from-Chandra).

MARRIAGE partnership emotional equity support expectations

[7th-from-Chandra-6]

• bhava-12 privacy, imagination, seclusion, quietude
• Simha entertaining, fashion, center of attention, regal, self-certainty

Although rather few of JRRT's buddies had nice things to say about Edith, indeed JRRT himself praised her virtues.

Generally his friends complained that Eadith was dismissively anti-social, socially petty, and made them unwelcome in JRRT's home.

• Yet, these qualities may have been the secret to Tolkien's deep appreciation of his wife.
• Bhava-12 provides the silent sanctuary that is utterly required to produce works of creative literature and arts.

Edith ensured the contemplative seclusion within his home office, where much of his off-duty writing and drawing occurred.

• By keeping his friends in the pub rather than in his home parlor, she made it possible for him to write.

Kalatra-karaka Shukra occupies publishing-explaining Śrāvaṇa-3

Shukra-Shravana is primarily concerned to maintain social dignity and class-conscious respect. JRRT's beloved with Eadith wanted a shrouded, enclosed identity [12] -- or at least she did not wish to be highlighted within her husband's literary circles. She was concerned with maintaining the family's reputation [Makara] living within the walls of invisibility to the public.

As a Chandra-Kumbha birth, JRRT needed to socialize. However, he accommodated the partner's style by meeting with fellow writers and thinkers - and giving interviews for publications -- mainly in pubs and parks.

literary genius of imaginative worlds, replete with their own genetic races, languages, and civilizations

developed an entire other-worldly fantasy civilization rich in its own history, race and class economies, and languages

created [5] perhaps the most famously elaborated fantasy worlds in modern English literature. JRRT's enduring classic of an imagined civilization mapped [Makara ordering] with richly cultured settlements of races, lineages, and languages [ruler Shani-1, social hierarchy]

The Hobbit has been continuously in print since its initial publication his Shani-Rahu bhukti in 21-Sep-1937.

8th-from-Chandra indicates Shani's stalwart, fixed response to the volatility induced by mom's belief-driven personality, religious convictions, her tragic premature death, and the multiple father-figures [notably a priest] . JRRT stabilized a dangerously fast-evolving childhood via education [Shani-4] Through the extreme danger of WW-1 - when nearly all of his friends were killed - and every kind of uncertainty, JRRT continued to study through to the Ph.D.

He undertook classroom teaching duties within the rigid but reliable academic infrastructure, focusing his research into the grammatical past [4] while eschewing any sort of problem-solving innovation toward the future. Professor of linguistics at several colleges within Oxford University, for thirty-five years 1925-1959.

Shani is often a beneficial tenant in any 8th-amsha. His fearful staunch resistance can batten the hatches when the winds of change reach hurricane strength, allowing one to persist even under duress of sustained emotional upheaval.

4th-from-Chandra

professor of linguistics at Oxford for thirty years,

OUTCOMES - EVACUATING KETU

1971 BBC Interview with JRR Tolkien

" Q: Did you intend in Lord of the Rings that certain races should embody certain principles: the elves wisdom, the dwarves craftsmanship, men husbandry and battle and so forth?

T: I didn't intend it but when you've got these people on your hands you've got to make them different haven't you. Well of course as we all know ultimately we've only got humanity to work with, it's only clay we've got.

We should all - or at least a large part of the human race - would like to have greater power of mind, greater power of art by which I mean that the gap between the conception and the power of execution should be shortened, and we should like a longer if not indefinite time in which to go on knowing more and making more.

Therefore, the Elves are immortal in a sense. I had to use immortal, I didn't mean that they were eternally immortal, merely that they are very longeval and their longevity probably lasts as long as the inhabitability of the Earth.

The dwarves of course are quite obviously - wouldn't you say that in many ways they remind you of the Jews? Their words are Semitic obviously, constructed to be Semitic. Hobbits are just rustic English people, made small in size because it reflects [in general] the small reach of their imagination - not the small reach of their courage or latent power.

Q: This seems to be one of the great strengths of the book, this enormous conglomeration of names - one doesn't get lost, at least after the second reading.

T: I'm very glad you told me that because I took a great deal of trouble. Also it gives me great pleasure, a good name. I always in writing start with a name. Give me a name and it produces a story, not the other way about normally."
