Part 1
Balance
of Rahu Dasa at birth: 8 years, 2 months and 8 days.
Ayanamsa:
22degree 33’ (Lahiri’s)
The
congregation of the six planets in the mental sign Gemini (sign showing mental
duplicity) is a salient feature. Affliction of the majority of the planet’s
occurs in double-bodied sign (duplicity), Pisces, Gemini and Sagittarius.
Mercury rules the intellect, whereas the Moon represents the `unconditioned
mind’. Here the Moon and Mercury are in Aridra and Pushya constellations
respectively ruled by Rahu (Mativibhrama) and retrograde Saturn (mental
depression and inhibition). The 1st house rules disposition and temperament.
Here both Lagna and Navamsa Lagna are occupied by retrograde Saturn. In Navamsa
chart, the Moon in Saturn’s sign is opposed by Saturn. Saturn in watery sign
causes emotional inadequacy or inhibition. In Western astrology, the 3rd,
the 8th and the 12th houses are called mental houses. The
3rd house represents subconscious mind, the 8th, the
psychic mind and the 112th mental inhibition. Venus is the ruler of
the 3rd and the 8th houses, and he is in conjunction with
Pluto (Yama), the annihilator, and squared by retrograde Saturn, the ruler of
the 12th house. Although the lord of the Ascendant in this case is
Vargottama, he is detrimentally aspected by retrograde Mars. The 12th
house indicates voluntary seclusions, self-imposed restrictions, etc.
The
individual was a teacher in an elementary school. After six months of marital
life, one day in the class room, he burst into mad ravings and returned home.
He inflicted injuries on his wife, quarreled with his in-laws and was expelled
from the house. He was not shut up in an asylum but wandered all over India
like a mendicant with self-imposed ascetics and visited places of religious
importance. He was mistaken for a Sanyasi and a Sadhu, although his talks
amounted to nothing but incoherent mumblings. After 14 years of aimless
wanderings, he returned to his native place. But he did not reclaim the status
of the husband. Neither did he stick to one place of residence. He grew beard
and garbed himself in gheru clothes. He died in Mercury’s Dasa and Saturn’s
Bhukti. (Mercury being the ruler of angles posited in Saturn’s constellation
and strongly aspected by retrograde Mars, the maraca).
While
further discussing the chart in question, it may be noticed that in the Sayana
chart, both the Sun and the Moon are posited in Cancer, a sensitive sign
bestowing increased susceptibility to the surrounding influences. The Moon is
in conjunction with Neptune. Both the Sun and the Moon (representing character
and personality) are opposed by the retrograde planets Mars and Uranus. Mars,
the war-god, causes irritability and bellicose mood and uncontrolled
aggressiveness. Uranus, the occult planet, causes delusions and eccentricity.
Margaret E. Hone, the author of The Modern Text Book of Astrology, says that “overstress”
or misuse of Neptune causes subversive nebulousness and impressionability. She
uses the words “Castles in the air, head in clouds, dreamy and woolly
illusions, deceptive cheats, frauds”. According to her, the Moon represents
`Response’ and `Fluctuation’. Overstress or misuse of the Moon by evil aspects
results in faulty reasoning, idiocy and insanity. About the Sun-Mon Polarity in
Cancer, Alen Leo writes an Astrology for All: “Fancy and imagination will be
manifest in this combination and there is a great liability to go to extremes.”
