Prominent Features of the Nativity

Extreme lack of empathy = ability to dehumanize people

Ketu + Chandra + swakshetra L-3/L-6 Guru:

o

his mother (Chandra) was consumed and exhausted by a violently abusive, incestuous husband, who was also her maternal uncle.

Note Hitler's Purvashadha Chandra. When Soma occupies a Nakshatra of Shukra, one's relationships with female partners (esp. the wife) are negatively impacted by apathy, de-valuation, and denial. The sexual tastes are peculiar and emotionally distant. Hitler was unable to make a marriage commitment until just moments before his suicide. Gulika in 11; Dhuma in 8 Rahu in domain-9 =
o o o o o o

Rahu will cast drishti upon radix lagna shapes the social personality of a religious priest, preacher, or exponent of a wisdom-tradition exotic, unusual type of religious teachers during this lifetime risk-taking father-figure (Hitler was the product of an incestuous relationship between his mother and his mother's uncle) foreign elements infiltrate the scripture or received dogma temple-based philosophical education = unconventional style of dharma transmission.

Arudha lagna = karma bhava

the native is exceptionally well-known and largely obeyed as a rule-giver with patriotic (Karkata) affiliation citizens may not agree with the native's regulatory programs, but his leadership has the force of the Yogakaraka Shani

Arudha of Karma Bhava- "Karmaa Pada"

public imagery or associations = vyaya bhava, unoccupied, lord = Budha (foreign lands, reclusive hiding, concentration camps, prisons, bomb shelters, bunkers, fantasy, denial, loss of identity, erasure.)

Public glamour of the Regulatory and Hierarchical Leadership Roles is minimal. Karma pada = domain-3 = is empty. Lord of Karma Pada = L-3/L-6 Guru, an inauspicious graha associated with servitude, relationship problems, outcasts and foreigners, and the daily grind of business administration. The public illusion - Arudha = Karma Pada = promotes attributes of teaching (Guru) and publications (3).

Lord Guru receives drishti of all three malefics (Mangala, Shani, + Rahu by association) therefore Guru suffers a reduced scope of action. Guru's association with the powerfully independent and regal L-11 Surya (which also unfortunately gets the restrictive drishti of the papagraha) contributes a small aura of independent authority. Karma Pada is relatively weak in this nativity. drishti upon L-10 Chandra from uchcha L-9/L-12 Budha in 12 (wise analysis of psychic-material bridge-ways) drishti upon L-10 Chandra from Rahu in 2 (foreign cultural knowledge, mystical or shamanistic knowledge-base from Vrischika; scholarly qualities from the L-4/L-5 YogakarakaShani) drishti upon 10th-from-Chandra = karma pada = Sahajabhava = L-3/L-6 Guru, handicapped by malefic drishti. Auspice for public recognition of a teacher, but on a much reduced level of public apprehension or "fame".

Drishti to the L-10, Chandra

When radix planets suggest great scope of authority and the dashamsha is also mega-powerful like Hitler's, extraordinary world roles result.

Shani

Whether a leader is moral or immoral, a strong and capable Shani is essential for world leadership positions. Thula lagna , where Shani is exalted, is considered a mark of potential success in any radix. Hitler's nativity shows Thula lagna in D-1, D-9 and D-10. Barring an inauspicious position for Shukra, Thula lagna will provide a natural interest in balanced partnership and diverse alliances. The alliance-making intelligence is key to any variety of organizational leadership. The remarkable power of Hitler's public career is confirmed in dashamsha, where uchcha YogakarakaShani karaka for public responsibility and power which is strong in shad-bala rises in Thula lagna . Shani/Karkata in 10 gives the notorious "throne yoga" which provides a great deal of governing power and responsibility for enforcing harsh laws. When Shani receives drishti of Mangala, sexual pursuit is met with resistance; the military force used in governing actions in much increased,and cruelty can result.

"Throne yoga"

"... Saravali ascribes the following results: When Saturn occupies Cancer and is aspected by Mars,

he will become rich through royal or divine favor, will be maimed in physique, will have wealth, servants and ornaments and will be fond of bad relations and women." ~~ B. V. Raman, A Catechism of Astrology. p. 30

[BPL Mangala must occupy: Mesha, Dhanusha, or Makara; thus Mangala who casts this drishti is strong]

Surya

Uchcha Surya grants a visceral intolerance for human weakness, which easily grows into hatred for the weak and marginalized. For Uchcha Surya in a position of strength, surrender is impossible.

Chandra and Shukra

separately and together, Shukra and Chandra cause a good deal of trouble with women, including attraction to prostitutes (Shukra = L-6 and Shukra is heavily damaged in yuvati bhava) and inability to maintain the marriage contract Shukra = L-6 from Dhanusha Chandra and L-8 from Thula lagna Chandra = L-8 from Dhanusha Chandra Purvashadha Chandra Shukra's="Alliance-building" trine= Chandra in Bharani + Chandra in Purvaphalguni + Chandra in Purvaashadha

Like most Purvashadha Chandra natives, Hitler had an emotionally driven genius for making alliances with both likely and unlikely partners. However the preponderance of Mesha graha in yuvati, the bhava fof the bargain and the deal, show that he could alos break a promise and kill or try to kill the previous partner at any time. He had the deal-making skill, but not the loyalty. Chandra + L-3/L-6 Guru + Ketu suggests some variety of "attachment disorder" caused by the mental derangement of the mother

Ketu + Chandra damages the emotional sensitivity, reducing sympathy and making the native capable of destroying life. In Dhanusha with expansive, permissive Guru, destruction of life through emotional numbness and dehumanization of others (lack of empathy) becomes possible on an enormous scale. Guru, Budha, and Rahu-Ketu Guru the dispositor of Ketu is yuti Ketu (great mental detachment) while Budha dispositor of Rahu becomes warlike in company of Kuja-Shukra in Mesha/7. Guru casts drishti upon Budha, giving Hitler's speech an extraordinary, weird charisma. (In the ancient sense of weird = knowledge of other worlds.) Hitler was named Fhrer und Reichskanzler of Germany in the Rahu/Rahu period.

Rahu in 9 = the native may start one's own religious cult

Shukra
Relationships with women and marriage behaviors in general are exceptionally complex and conflicted.

Shukra = yuti Mangala, Budha, and Surya Shukra receives drishti of both Shani and Guru

see Who Will I Marry: Karaka for Spouse for more description of Shukra and the female partner, in a male nativity

Karakamsha
Karakamsha = domain-2 = Vrischika, a death sign. Hitler was best known for his speeches (2) and his campaign of genocidal murder. Kuja Ruchaka yoga L-2 Kuja so close to lagnesha Shukra will give beautiful eyes. "The most impressive feature of his otherwise coarse and rather undistinguished face was his eyes. They were extraordinarily light blue in color, with a faint touch of greenish-gray" ~~ Robert G. L. Waite. The Psychopathic God: Adolf Hitler. Da Capo Press, 1993. (page 6) . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler%27s_death

Vimshottari Dasha Narrative Mahadasha of L-11 Surya in domain-7

age 18-24

From 1908 until 1914, young Adolf lived as a working artist "Bohemian" in Vienna. He was supported by orphan's pension, his mother (until her death) and his art earnings. Famously, his two applications to the Academy of Arts in Vienna were rejected for "lack of talent" during Surya period - yet he never abandoned the artist's profession.

Note uchcha Surya lord of 11th house of gains and income, also Lord of 10th navamsha, indicating a destiny to be a great (if evil) leader. From an astrological point of view, we can be confident that he had enough money to live on at all times from various sources (including his Jewish housemate who helped him sell postcards and paintings). Surya Mahadasha is also the period when Hitler discovered organized antiSemitism and formed his extremist racial and political views. Uchcha Surya is notorious for extreme selfishness and self-righteousness. It is also the significator of a great politician, rationalist, designer, and military general. Behari says of Surya in 3rd padaa of Ashvini: "You may be wealthy but will be placed very low in life. Health will be poor. At certain times you become violent and wicked." However, Hitler's violently intolerant politics emerge more from Surya being imprisoned within the miserable mutual aspect of Kuja and Shani. Normally with Surya being dominated in degree by Shukra, Hitler would have been an architect! Probably a very political architect, or an artist employed by the army or police, or some other artist's social role within a political hierarchy. However, he is not permitted to express himself with social naturalness, as an artist, due to the massive oppression of the Shani-Kuja mutual aspect. There is tremendous internal anxiety and frustration. His intelligence is thwarted and twisted. The nature of the twisting was earlier apparent in the behavior of his father, where Surya is karaka for father. As his father enacted rage by brutally beating his helpless wife and children, so Adolf Hitler would be karmicly bound to enact his pent-up rage and frustrations - ironically through a form of artistic genius - to violently "redesign" society.

Mahadasha of L-10 Chandra in domain-3

age 24-34 Chandra = radix L-10 = leadership and public life.

Chandra in Navamsha of Guru.

Guru's relationship with radix Chandra is strong, and characterized by Guru's L-6 quality of vindictive blaming. Chandra occupies house-3 of communications and teamwork, where He is dominated by L-3/L-6 Guru who rules courage and enemies. Chandra period sees Hitler fully invested in Scapegoating: blaming minorities for the ills of the group. L-3/L-6 Guru is an inauspicious graha for Thula lagna . Hitler has Thularising in D-1, D-9, and D-10. Guru evokes animosity and conflict (6) and inflames the hateful speech and writing (3) in all areas of the tyrant's life: social/material (D-1); spiritual/emotional (D-9); and career/leadership (D-10).

Guru in turn is dominated by ethically-detached Ketu, destroyer of Obstacles. But Ketu can't really dominate anything because He is too detached. Guru-Ketu operate as an equal pair, enemy-hating and self-preserving, creating a textbook case of ideological obsession with "reckless disregard for consequences". Chandra/Chandra. Big change. Although he had scrupulously avoided the Austrian draft during Surya Mahadasha , Hitler responded to the outbreak of WWI by joining the Bavarian Army in August 1941. Chandra/Shani - first affiliation with German Workers Party (Nazi) in Munich. (he is sent in by the Reichswehr to spy on them). Shani is the Yogakaraka4/5 lord, a very potent planet for Libra rising and occupying house-10 for career, leadership. Shani rises again in lagna as Yogakarakain dashamsha. Shani bhukti is a key first step toward his eventual dictatorship. Chandra/Budha - Hitler becomes increasingly good at speaking to large crowds. Feb. 1921, speaks before 6000 in Munich. Consistent with Sahaja_bhava.htm" class="auto-style3">3rd-house talents of Chandra/Guru/Ketu, Hitler orchestrated a major advertising campaign before the speech sending out truckloads of workers to distribute "branded" brochures showing swastikas - the first appearance of that Nazi symbol. Chandra/Ketu - 29-July-1921 - Hitler takes over the Nazi party and is called "Fuehrer" (leader). Now Ketu's power to co-create with Guru the ideological obsession with no ethical constraints, becomes very strong. Through Chandra, Guru and Ketu-Rahu enormously expand Hitler's range of influence. Guru occupies an orb of less than two degrees above the Moon, so the Moon will enact Guru's agenda. Ultimately, Guru will carry out the will of Ketu. During Hitler's Chandra Mahadasha , Guru/Ketu by casting the 5th drishti upon yuvati bhava will hugely expand the extremist scapegoating politics of Hitler's warlike 7th house. However the final bhukti involves his troublesome uchcha Surya, which being dominated by L-8 Shukra who is a powerful planetary enemy, does not allow him to gain the support of large associations and take leadership as L-11 Surya truly wants to do. Instead he fails to get recognition, similar to Surya Mahadasha . Chandra/Surya is the "Beerhall Putsch" 8-Nov-1923 Hitler's failed attempt to take over Bavaria. Hitler fled and considered suicide, at this inauspicious end to his 10-year rule of the 10th-house lord. It must have seemed to him that his life was finished.

Mangala Mahadasha- age 34-41

Kuja is oppressed by L-8 Shukra, a destructive planet.

His failed coup in Chandra/Surya had virtually destroyed the Nazi party. Hitler was still Fuhrer - but Fuhrer of nothing. He spent most of Kuja's 7-year mahadasha trying to build partnerships (Kuja = L-7), trying to rebuild the party. Only his final bhukti of L-10 Chandra, in a fortunate 5/9 angle from Kuja, which sparked massive party growth due to the Depression, gave Hitler access to leadership again. Kuja/Kuja - April 1924, Hitler's treason trial becomes a vehicle for his national popularity, as he vehemently expresses nationalistic visions already stirring amongst the disenfranchised masses. He has good publicity for his platform, but is sentenced to 5-yrs prison. Kuja/Rahu - the aggressively nationalistic and hugely popular My Struggle (Mein Kampf) is dictated in prison - 1st volume entitled Payback (Abrechnung) which become the most popular books in all Germany. Kuja-to-Rahu is a 3/11 angle in radix, very productive and communicative in public relations, propaganda, advertising etc. Rahu is a VERY powerful planet in dashamsha because in D-10 he magnifies his ruler, the exalted rising Shani. For good or ill Hitler's D-10 Rahu creates a very great leader. His prison sentence is ended after 7 months. Rahu in 9th house makes Hitler a priest of the nationalistic cult, and Mein Kampf becomes his cult scripture. Kuja/Chandra - sudden rise of Nazi power in Depression elections

Rahu Mahadasha- age 41-56

Rahu Mahadasha is a "Great Leap Forward" power-gaining roller-coaster period for anyone. How much more intensely for a world dictator. The role of uncontested tyrant = "Rahu" = extreme desires - by definition. Hitler came from a poor, inbred and highly dysfunctional family which suffered terrible internal violence from the deranged, aggressive, alcoholic father. Note Rahu in the father house, while L-9 Budha is dominated by Mangala. Coming from an incestuous family with an "unlimited personal entitlement" father, Adolf's path to an obsessive and controlling love relationship with his niece was wide open. Her suicide/murder, which is said to have evoked his greatest inner evil, rings the opening bell of Rahu's wild ride to power. Hitler's ascension to world-dominating war and holocaust begins in Rahu/Rahu. Rahu/Rahu - suicide-or-murder of his niece and lover Geli is the "opening bell" of Rahu/Rahu. Appointed Reichs-chancellor, his first political office,30-Jan-1933 Rahu/Guru - 2-Aug-1934 - Hitler names himself Fhrer und Reichskanzler; fearing subversion (L-6) demands personal allegiance oaths from all military. Rahu/Guru in intense self/partnership 1/7 angle radix. Propaganda machine (L-3) investing Hitler with priestly powers, at full bore. Rahu/Shani - the maximum strength governing leadership period - alliances formed with Italy, Japan, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania.

Rahu/Budha - Budha is lord of Rahu in radix, also L-12 for foreign countries. Budha receives drishti of Shani-magnifying, dictator-making Rahu in dashamsha. Enormously powerful era for Rahu. Invasions of Poland, Denmark, Norway etc...France surrenders...blitz upon Britain... invades Russia in June 1941, but Ketu bhukti starts with the Russian winter in Sept. 1941... Rahu/Ketu - The Moon's Nodes, Rahu-Ketu, can be truly insane: reckless, obsessive and excessive. Hitler declared war against three gigantic opponents: US, which was allied with Britain and Russia. Yet the dashamsha power of Hitler's Rahu-Shani yoga is so strong that his bravado continued to win. Rahu/Shukra - Only the bhukti of L-8 Shukra beginning in mid-Sep-1942 could destroy this raging maniac and the murderers who shared his Nazi vision. Shukra is L-8 destroyer in radix, navamsha, and dashamsha - but most importantly, Shukra occupies 12th from Rahu in dashamsha. Bhukti of any graha which resides in 12th-from-Rahu always gives major losses which destroy Rahu's gains. Oct-1942 saw the first serious Nazi defeat in Africa, followed quickly by defeats in Stalingrad , Mussolini's overthrow in Italy, D-Day and a string of unbearable humiliations... Rahu/Shukra, As Shukra bhukti draws to a close, Shukra is karaka for marriage and lord of navamsha, and whilst gochara Rahu-Ketu have traveled to their natal positions. Hitler married Eva Braun. 29-April-1945, civil ceremony in their underground bunker. Rahu/Shukra - The next day, 30-April-1945, historians generally agree that Hitler and Braun committed joint suicide. Shukra occupies 24:4 of Mesha while Mangala sits at 24:4 Mesha, both in the house of death and war. Notes on Hitler's death by suicide, in a period of L-8: Shukra = 24:4 of Mesha = identical to Mangala. = 24:4 Mesha. L-8 can be a Vimshottari dasha timing agent for death by suicide, if Shukra has a close association with the maraka L-2 or L-7. Shukra = L-8, which gives only the conditions of death. Death itself is given by the extremely virulent L2/L7 Kuja. Activated Kuja being very strong in 2nd navamsha, also gives the death of the wife in their joint suicide. Hitler shot himself through the mouth and Eva Braun took poison (Vrischika = poisons, conditions of death of wife = L-8 from 7th). On their orders, the corpses were soaked with gasoline and torched = Mesha. Shukra gives the circumstances of death and Kuja gives the means. Shukra gives the female and poison (L-8). Kuja/Mesha rules blood, gunfire, fuel, and flames

The Jyotisha nativity of M. K. "Mahatma" Gandhi might be reviewed in the spiritual, vocation, parenting, or education categories with equal relevance. This page evaluates the nativity from the career-political point of view.

Prominent Features of the Nativity

Rahu in Domain-10 = dramatic rise to leadership roles, under taboo-breaking, illicit, or culturally irregular (Rahu) circumstances.

Often a glass-ceiling crasher, able to break gender-race-age barriers in conservative professional roles. o May challenge conventional standards in the style of ascendancy to the high ranking position. Rahu swabhukti is especially intense, exposing the native's life to the public eye. Diverse responsibilities, executive empowerment involving contact with outsider, foreign elements, world governments. Best results in Vrishabha (uchcha, wealth) and Kumbha (own sign, widely distributed networks) but all rashi will yield publicity and leadership power. Rahu gives best results in 3, 6, 10 and 11.

Gulika + Kalavela in Thula lagna; Dhuma in Kumbha-5 Thula lagna + Karkata Chandra= Guru ="double-L-6" [Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi]

double-L-6 Guru does not damage faith due to Guru = L-9 from Chandra, but gets the native into an endless series ofconfrontational argumentsand generates a destiny of seemingly endless flow of litigationoften using the legal conflict management apparatus of the enemy (6) as the tool for developing (Guru) the perpetual argument. The native lives in a state of emotional exhaustion due to the constantdisagreeableness of women (esp one's mother) in the life, and other environmental tension between social classes (6), as a response to the injustice of exploitation (6) and generally a tendency to slip into emotionally motivated states of poor health. One may absorb (Chandra) all the problems of the world, or so it seems to the frail body who would like better boundaries against psychic predators but due to the native's expansive religious beliefs, the individual person receives little defensive protection. However as in the very instructional case of the Mahatma, the native who is professionally trained to enter a lifetime of accusation, litigation, and complaint can use faith-based arguments to advantage. Gandhi wastrained as a solicitor (Barrister, attorney) in London - in the belly of the beast legally speaking - and thus he was exquisitely well positioned to handle skillfully an incarnation which promised an endless volley of argument and accusation, significant poverty (L-6 ) due to religious and philosophical convictions (Guru)

The native born in Thula-Karkata configuration is well advised to undertake training in one of the conflict-management professions. Medicine is also a sensible ministry if other graha support the medical arts. Chandra extremely prominent + Rahu in domain-10 of public visibility and leadership positions is a virtual guarantee of high position. However the life has very little ease either physical or emotional, due to the double L-6 situation. Guru Mahadashawhich began for Gandhi in June of 1939 marked the beginning of the pinnacle of his litigious struggle. Naturally he was killed by an adversary during Guru-Shukra period but many believe that the conditions of death (Shukra) were extremely favorable as he died with the name of Lord Rama upon his lips, that the next birth would be one of contentment and ease.

Gaja Kesari Yoga - double powerChandra and Guru in kendra to lagna Arudha of Karma Bhava - "Karmaa Pada"
public imagery or associations= yuvati bhava, contains Guru, lord = Mangala-Thulain lagna [body] = solicitor-attorney-barrister, negotiations, contracts, crafting agreements, diplomacy, agency of the physical body

Public glamour is expanded due to Guru in Karma pada. Mangala lord of Karma Pada achieves strength in radix lagna The public illusion - Arudha = Karma Pada = Yuvati bhava = the house of legal resolutions (legal argument or dispute = domain-6) Lord of Karma Pada = L-2/L-7 Mangala, association with death and the constant threat of death as a tool for gaining contractual alliance agreement. Lord Mangala enjoys strong company (swakshetra Shukra + articulate Budha) and Kuja casts drishti upon His own house-7 receives drishti of the problematic L-3/L-6 Guru - Gandhi was famous for association with constant disagreement (6), and constant publishing of his message (3) Karma pada = L-10 from Chandra, see below for the extraordinary unimpeded strength of Chandra-Rahu Karma Pada is quite strong in this nativity. L-10 Chandra = yuti the great amplifier Rahu, located in domain-10 (very powerful for public leadership, association with foreigners, affiliation with Mother-homeland) No drishti upon L-10 Chandra(= no distractions from career performance) drishti upon L-10 Chandra [Mesha] = Kuja, Surya, Budha = strong emotional attachment to the role of public leader, and to the public illusion generated through that role (L-10 from Chandra = the arudha of karma bhava)

Drishti to the L-10, atma-karaka Chandra

Ketu

receives drishti of L-4/L-5 "genius educator" YogakarakaShani

mystical, separative, detached, and wandering Ketu in 4 takes on an extraordinary role as an educator and patriot Ketu in bandhu bhava taking drishti of Shani = Gandhi would not be bound to a fixed standard of patriotic expression nor to a school-book rendering of truth. "Only God is truth. I am a human being. Truth for me is changing every day. My commitment must be to truth, not to consistency."~~ Mahatma Gandhi No other graha receives drishti of Shani

Fasting
Shani = karaka for deprivation and austerity = L-4/L-5 YogakarakaforThula lagna .

Shani occupies domain-2 the house of food-mouth-values. Shani's lord Mangala = lord of karma pada, the public illusion which surrounds one's social leadership performance. In Gandhi's nativity, fasting and voluntary poverty, austerity behaviors of domain-2, become powerful tools in Mangala' quest to fulfill the public expectation that Gandhi will be that great alliance maker who achieves largescale social balance. (yuvati = karma pada)

Kuja rules domain-2 and domain-7, creating a single-ruler relationship between *control* (Vrischika) over food/intake behaviors + the task of achieving balanced social contracts. Through the auspices of L-2/L-7 Kuja in lagna, Gandhi's social personality (lagna) was strongly associated with Kuja's houses: 1. Shani in domain-2 = food/fasting/poverty/the masses 2. Guru domain-7 = youthful optimism/ agreements, balance, social equity Gandhi's skillful use of fasting as a method of ending social conflict has been imitated by many, but it has rarely been so effective as it was for the Mahatma. Gandhi had the magical combination of planets which empowered him to use near-death personal fasting into a magnificent tool of social control. The ancient principle that one can only control others by controlling oneself is quite well known. However Gandhi was able to demonstrate this awesome truth with unique effectiveness, due at least partly to the power of YogakarakaShani and a major maraka L-2/L-7 Kuja, in lagna.

Attitude toward Marriage

Mesha = navamsha lagna = marriage is a primarily physical, even athletic, relationship between the two partners.

The native's behavior in marriage = Kuja/Thula/1. Kuja is with His lord swakshetra Shukra and with Budha lord of dharma and vyaya bhava. The native is most acutely aware of the primitive animal-sexual level of marriage. Yet Kuja becomes refined in company of elegant and diplomatic Shukra, and religious-meditative Budha.

Although marriage starts out on a rather crude practical basis, there is much sensual and aesthetic improvement in maturity. Ketu in D-9 Mesha lagna = profound ambivalence toward moral codes and devaluation of marriage promise. With Ketu, results can go either saintly or debauch, and often both at different times of the life. A saintly undertaking of brahmacharya would certainly be an excellent and hard-won result in this case.

Behari says of Chandra/Karka/10:

"With the Moon in this sign, peace descends on you. There is no tension, and whoever comes in contact with you feels specially charmed. You do not command, but you are so pious and sympathetic that your wish becomes more compelling than any direct order could be. Your associates are of high intelligence, moral conduct, and purity of intention. Those who are of shady character fall out with you. Professionally, you go through changes; your output is variable; you travel extensively. You may write beautiful poetry blending mysticism and romance." "Your mission in life is for furthering some special cause in the world. Depending on your status in society and the planetary combinations, this special mission may be predicted; but the real impulse of this shadowy planet will be to make you dedicated to a cause which you will want to carry forward even at the risk of life, status, or health. Undaunted by any difficulty, undeterred by any impediment, you will persist with a sense of dedication, whether you are waging a war of complete annihilation, reconstructing a social order, or composing verses of celestial beauty and harmony. Rahu achieves its objective despite whatever hardships it has to undergo. Its impulse produces persons of great merit, devotion, and religious susceptibilities... "

Das says of Rahu/10"

Vimshottari Dasha Narrative Ketu Mahadasha- age 0-8

traditional childhood, the mother is somewhat detached, perhaps ill or unavailable, and the home may be un-rooted or not clearly defined.

The mother and her roots are somewhat weak or disenfranchised. By contrast the father's social position and leadership role = Chandra/Rahu = extremely strong.

Chandra + Rahu in domain-10 = prominent father, and the native becomes also very well known. Father's position: according to Wikipedia, M. K. Gandhi's father "was the diwan (Prime Minister) of the eponymous Porbandar state, a small princely state in the Kathiawar Agency of British India."

Ketu in domain-4 gives the effect of YogakarakaL-4/L-5 Shani Shani in domain-2 = scarcity of resources within the family. YogakarakaShani sustains cultural values supporting education (4) and personal intelligence (5). Ketu in navamsha lagna suggests a strong period of development of the spiritual personality through practice of detachment amounting to abandonment. The early childhood does not appear to have been easy or much supportive.

L-1/L-8 Shukra Mahadasha

age 8-to-28 1878-1898

Shukra is exceptionally strong in swakshetra Thula and in kendra-1 indicating a charismatic, attractive, and well-balanced social personality. Age 8-28 = the period of accumulating(Shukra) thetraitsandhistorical personalexperienceswhich shape the social personality. The native establishes one's "look". The native and those who look to him as an exponent and exemplar of a particular set of values (Shukra) will refer to the personality-defining experiences and traits again and again, in the quest to define a particular variety of social awareness through the appearance, behaviors, and history of a single influential individual. Most nativities which feature a rising Shukra belong to people who are pleasant to gaze upon, and the native finds that one's image is often distributed for public pleasure. (cf. Angelina Jolie, Hillary Clinton, TTom Cruise). When the radix lagna is also the karakamsha, as for Gandhi, his image becomes iconic for many generations, throughout the entire world. The native will develop an iconic appearance due to his ability to materially represent the most diplomatic, gracious, agreement-seeking, and "architectural" values of social organization.

Shukra/Chandra - traditional arranged marriage - determined by the father's position - 1883 (age 13); birth of first child, 1885 (age 15) Shukra/Rahu - 1885 death of father. Sudden change in family dignity, Rahu in domain-10. Shukra/Guru -Sept-1988, departure for England to study for barrister's diploma. L-3 Guru = job training. L-6 = illness, penury, and social discomfort. Shukra/Shani - under L-4/L-5 Shani in domain-2 for money and

family, Gandhi's business fails in Bombay; in 1893 under financial pressure, goes to South Africa and asserts Bharati rights to British (citizenship L-4) privilege. Leads strikes and protests (Shani's lord Kuja in lagna).

Shukra/Shani - much resistance to justice in So Africa under L-6 Shani for enemies and hate crimes; but Shani is also L-7 for law-courts and he makes legal progress.Yet Shani is also L-5, and he gains intelligent political presence.

Shukra/Ketu - 1897 - attempted lynching by white mob. Ketu gives effect of maraka L-2/L-7

L-1 Surya Mahadasha

age 28-34, 1898-1904 L-11 = community activism and large networks of association L-2 from Chandra, speech and food Ravi = karaka for politics. L-11 Ravi in domain-12 = achieving one's goals through the agency of exotic people(outside one's tribe) and foreign lands

Gandhi spent most of the Surya Mahadasha organizing the South African Indian community into a coherent political entity. Surya as L-11 gives the period of ego-driven social activism and community development. L-11 = large associations and mass movement. Surya is rather weak in Virgo and in domain-12, indicating 6 years of slowly and carefully developing passive-aggressive strategies of nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience.. Surya occupies 3rd-from-Moon, making Ravi period a time of intensive planning, communication, business administration, and teamwork.

L-10 Chandra Mahadasha

age 34-44 1905-1915 swakshetra in kendra-20, karma bhava

L-10 Chandra is a very powerful graha for Gandhi:

Chandra = atmakaraka; domain-6 for Social Conflict, Poverty, and Exploitation becomes the Karakamsha amplified by the power of Rahu = outsiders.

L-10 = Ashlesha Chandra in domain-10 Karkata.Gandhi's charismatic leadership message with super-strong L-10 swakshetra Chandra in karma bhava + Rahu = "be like me". Ashlesha embroils and entwines a person with endless manipulation and intrigue, and so was Gandhi's career. Rahu + any graha brings an exotic quality to the graha, but when Rahu is with Moon, the pattern of challenging cultural boundaries becomes exceptionally strong. Under the auspices of the atmakaraka, Gandhi established with certainty the nature of his life's work. His style was emotionally responsive and firmly parental. His soul affinity was deeply connected to "outsiders": the smoky dark outcast classes upon whom Gandhi shone shine the soft bright light of the loving, nurturing Moon. Gandhi's mother was afraid of foreign pollution; yet she must have known that her son born withChandra + Rahuwould have a great deal of interaction with underclass folk and foreigners.

Chandra/Rahu - Sept. 1906- Satyagraha ("the weight of truth") platform publicly established

Gandhi remained in South Africa until the outbreak of World War I, working steadily to promote the dignity of South African Bharati outsiders (Rahu) into recognized citizens of the British Empire (Moon = domain-10, public respect). Gandhi realized only modest material success in the immediate cause, but his experience in South Africa laid the foundation for later, more intensive political leadership work during Rahu Mahadasha.

L-2/L-7 Kuja Mahadasha

age 44-51 1914-1921

Upon returning to India, Gandhi was invited into the broad-based national movement to get better British rulership practices in place. Appreciating the Raj's persistent use of violence as a method of social control, Gandhi joined the struggle to obtains the rights, duties, and privileges of Empire citizenship for native Bharati. This was a violent time in India with terrible British oppression marked by beatings and severe taxation. Appropriate to the warlike, death-inducing energy of maraka L2/L-7 Mars.

Mars yuti Venus indicates that Gandhi will always temper his pro-justice aggressions with Shukra's taste for good design and balanced relationships..

Radix Shukra/Kuja receives the benefic aspect of Guru, guaranteeing that even during periods of extreme violence, Gandhi will have access to heroic optimism.

Kuja/Budha- 1918 L-9/L-12 Budha = organizing village improvements, cleaning up rural filth and degradation, urging return to religious purity.

Kuja/Ketu - 13-April-1919 Amritsar Massacre, massive national horror. Though his non-violent commitment persists, Gandhi realizes the his homeland (domain-4, Ketu) has been traumatized: British rule in India needs to end. Kuja/Shukra - April 1920 elected India Home Rule party leader - where Shani is L-1 for social identity, and L-8 for hidden processes.

Rahu Mahadasha

age 51-69 1921-1939 Rahu gives effect of L-10 Chandra + Rahu yuti Chandra in 10 independence movement makes gains, huge increase in participation. Feb 1922 - arrested and imprisoned. Mar-April 1930 = Salt March. L-9 Budha in lagna, identifies the physical body as a socially recognized icon of religious purity. Gandhi leads thousands on pilgrimage to the sea. In the summer of 1934, there were at least three attempts to murder Gandhi. Shukra = L-8 for hidden activities, plots and schemes, sudden forced changes, conditions of death. Gandhi quits the Congress party as a protest over internecine schisms and splits (domain-8). Gandhi returned to lead the Congress party under L-11 Surya = mass movements. Powerful leadership although extremely volatile conditions during Rahu/Chandra, and more fighting with more fasting and constant internecine struggle during Rahu/Kuja.

Rahu/Rahu

Rahu/Surya-Chandra-Kuja

Guru Mahadasha

age 69-85 1939 - 1955

L-5/L-8 from Thula lagna L-6/L-9 from Ashlesha Chandra = 1939 as WWII breaks out in Europe, and India gets dragged into the war by its ruler Britain, without a national vote of its own. Gandhi designs and asserts the Quit India platform as the only remaining solution to the extensive problems created during centuries of British colonial injustice. L-3/L-6 Guru brings massive arrests and evil violence, on both sides.L-6: Hindu-Muslim War.

Guru/Guru

Guru = lord of "karakamsha" Meena (the rashi occupied by Atmakaraka Chandra in navamsha = Meena). Radix Meena = domain6 = social conflict. During Gandhi's daunting Guru Mahadasha, every variety of illness, poverty, and fighting manifested around him. Despite the horrors of violence and human evils induced by thee virulent L-6 Guru, the period of karakamsha denotes the native's finest hour, spiritually speaking. Thus, Gandhi achieved his spiritual objectives for the current lifetime through much suffering both mental (L-3) and physical (L-6) in his final years.

Guru/Shani: Aug 1942 - Gandhi and entire Congress Working Party arrested and imprisoned. Gandhi's close personal secretary and his wife die during imprisonment. Gandhi himself nearly died of malaria during imprisonment.

Shani in rashi of L-2/L-7 makara Kuja in domain-2, in 6/8 angle from mahadasha-pati Guru, is a deadly maraka graha.

Guru/Budha - release from prison, return to religious icon, negotiation via fasting L-9/L-12 Guru/Ketu -- partition. Ketu in domain-4, trauma to the nation. Guru/Shukra -o o o o o

Aug-1947 partition with massive upheaval verging on civil war 30-Jan-1948: assassination, death by gunshot in the period of L-8 Shukra. Both Shukra and Budha can carry out the agenda of L-2/L-7 Maraka Kuraja Kuja holds the superior degree in Thula. Here L-8 Shukra during the mahadasha of ill, conflict-ridden double-L6 Guru, carries out the Maraka agenda of L-7 Kuja - lord of Guru..
