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.

Masculine Public-Figure Examples

Svati - Arcturus

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. 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, nations, 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 Chandra-Svati

QUOTATION Arcturus

from Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 84.


" ... a slow and deliberative character,

  • almost ponderous in thought and action

  • Yet, intelligent and logical

While he may be slower at arriving at conclusions than most people,

  • on final analysis his reasoning is sound

  • and his conclusion more accurate than others who may be more brilliant.

He is very religious, somewhat orthodox,

  • and his environment permitting will attend church regularly

  • or at any rate participate in some religious activity.

Many priests or ministers are found to have Swati on the Rising Point."

[end quote, Shil Pondey, 1939]

famed for writing about races, pathways, villages [the Shire]

Tolkien was famed for his devotional adherence to Roman-Rite observance, a faith that he received from his mother after her conversion [Chandra]

university [9] speech language [2]

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

Widowed mom suffered from long-term diabetic distress - untreatable in her era. Mom died of renal failure when little JRRT was 12.

EXAMPLE

Lord of the Rings 1892-1973 linguist J.R.R. Tolkien

According to Tolkien's memoires, his mother's most salient feature was her deep identification with the old-ways worship identified with her Roman-Rite adherent doctrina conversa and

Chandra-Shukra = mom's diabetic health decline + impoverishing family conflict

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-12 in 9th-from-Chandra).



MARRIAGE partnership emotional equity support expectations

[7th-from-Chandra-4]

  • bhava-10 public recognition, social visibility, director, icon, institutional identity, dignity, social-standing
  • Karkata = ethnicity, folkways, parenting, household, foundational rhythms

Although rather few of JRRT's buddies had nice things to say about Edith, indeed JRRT himself gave lavish praise to 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.

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 financial, knowledgeable, linguistic, historical, musical, evaluating, assessing Śrāvaṇa-2

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.

Ruler of 11 = Surya-3 cohort = 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.

CAREER - BRIGHT BHRIGUTANAYA

  • 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 Shukra-4 intakes drishti of uchcha-Rahu-8 while Shukra lagnesha + randhresha = Edith home-keeping skills were the sine-qua-non of JRRT's structured, long-term writing plan

Typical of [Shukra-Makara-Draco] , JRRT's beloved wife Eadith was three years elder to him

CAREER - SOBER SHANI

Shani-12 rules Makara-4 Arudha lagna = schoolteaching

During JRRT's childhood, mom endured shunning [12, isolation] from her own anti-Catholic family, due to her conversion to Roman-Rite credenda. After his mother's tragic death from diabetes, JRRT maintained his Catholic identity as a life-ordering routinized practice [Chandra-Makara].

bhava-12 privacy, imagination, seclusion, quietude

Bhava-12 provides the silent sanctuary that is utterly required to produce works of creative literature and arts.

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.

OUTCOMES - RISK-REWARDING RAHU

Lord of the Rings 1892-1973 linguist J.R.R. Tolkien

  • As an Oxford professor, Tolkien lectured to literature and linguistics students while privately crafting his elaborate and incredibly long-story books.

  • In addition, Rahu-8-uchcha casts drishti into Shukra-4 ++ into Shani-12 - endowing ambitious accomplishments in fantasy worlds [12]

  • Tolkien produced thousands of pages of literary manuscript and scholarly monograph, hundreds of elaborate drawings, abundant calligraphy, studied dozens of old languages , designed several new languages [Kuja-1 engineering] + taught countless university classes, fought in WW-1, code-encrypted for WW-2, and raised four children -- all at a normal pace [Shani-12] of constant production continuing until his death age 82.

EXAMPLE

Lord of the Rings 1892-1973 linguist J.R.R. Tolkien [hierarchical-ranking Kṛttikā-2]

  • Tolkien's first books were adjudged as being too exotic [Rahu] for modern readers due to their "eye-splitting" Celtic place-names [2, traditions, sound patterns]. Thus his ambitious but risky output was initially refused by literary editors during janma Sade-Sati + Rahu-Shani bhukti.

  • Yet once Shani period had passed, JRRT was embraced as brilliantly exotic writer. Tolkien won them over via his own ambitious certainty in the power of the fantasy world. First he demonstrated [5] that the unfamiliar names were not Celtic anyway, but rather more Germanic in linguistic form.

  • The prospective publishers were still quite reluctant [Shani] but his confidence overwhelmed their resistance. Thus a magnificent new expression of the literary genre of other-worlds "high-fantasy fiction" was born. Although raised in scarcity, uchcha-Rahu gave JRRT rich rewards in his late-middle decades, due to Rahu drishti into 1-3-5.

Rahu drishti into Shani-12 + Ketu [2] + Chandra-Shukra [4] = envisioned worlds [12] with their own races, languages, and histories [Urisha]

JRRT intended his tales [2] to restore moral integrity [4] after the terrible World Wars, by drawing upon the linguistic memory [2] of Britain's ancient Germanic settlements [4] [ =Saxon, Angle, Jute]

5th-from-Chandra

professor of literature and linguistics at Oxford for thirty years, expert in pre-Norman Anglo-Saxon language and culture

JRRT wrote high-fantasy fiction books that had enormous appeal to the popular imagination [12] . In print continuously since 1937, JRRT's fantasy-fiction books were scripted into equally popular epic cinematic films.

Amazingly fabulous exhilarating astounding treatment of historical-linguistic values [Urisha-8]

TolkienJRR-1970s.jpg1971 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."
