HOROSCOPE ANALYSIS OF PANDIT JAWAHARLAL NEHRU.--Part-2

Special Features of Nehruji’s, (great scholar-leader’s) horoscope :-

(1) Moon is in birth lagna, Cancer, in his own house. Moon has no aspects (drushtis) by any malefic or benefic planet. Karkatake Chandrasthe, poorna yogadaha = Moon and his period are very beneficial to him. But Moon is hemmed between to malefics, Rahu in 12^th house and Saturn in 2^nd house. So in this chart Cancer is both birth-lagna and Chandra / Rasi lagna. This is an important and strong feature of this Rasi chart; it formed a strong foundation of the horoscope. If birth lagna is in cancer gravity and shyness are both indicated in the person. He had strikingly handsome figure, and a complexion with a Tejas (full-Moon-shine like) in his face; it reminded me that he was a saint, when I saw him face to face. He had a noble and cultivated expression. All these are due to Moon positioned in birth lagna, in his own house in cancer. Moon is a planet of imagination and imagination; it is free from any afflications like association with and or aspect (drushti) by malefic planets. This denotes his sympathy towards the suffering humanity and a highly emotional nature, -----------------------

Opinions of ancient expert saint-astrologers :-

Now I describe the effect of Moon (Sasi) in first bhaava (birth-lagna) . Lagne Sasi phalam First House (or Lagna-Ascendant) denotes the native’s physical stature, colour, form and shape, constitution, health, vitality and vigour, natural dispositions and tendencies, personality and struggle for life, honour, dignity, prosperity, general well being, head, upper part of the face, virtues, longevity, start in life and an idea about the general structure of life.
Effects : Views of renowned astrologers : 1) Saint-Astrologer Maharshi Parasara (Great grand-father of Pandavas and Kauravas of Mahabharatha epic; father of Maharshi Veda Vyasa) wrote : (sloka = Sanskrit

DAAKSHINYA, SU-ROOPA, DHANA, BHOGA, SUGUNA, AISWARYA, VARENYA, CHANRAE, KULEERA, VRUSHABHAJA GATHAE VILAGNAI, UNMATHA, NEECHA, BADHIRO, VIKLO, ATHA MUKAHA, SESHUVAA BHAVATHI HINA THANUR VISHESHAATH = IF MESHAM (ARIES) OR VRUSHABHA (TAURUS) OR KARKAATAKM (CANCER) IS THE BIRTH LAGNAM & MOON (WAXING) IS IN ANY OF THE ABOVE HOUSES, THE PERSON IS GENEROUS, KIND & HELPFUL; HANDSOME / BEAUTIFUL RICH, PROSPEROUS; HE HAS NOBLE QUALITIES & LIVES A LUXURIOUS LIFE. IF MOON IS NEW / WANING & IS IN ANY OTHER BIRTH HOUSE, HE/SHE MAY BE MENTALLY-DERAILED, CRUEL, MEAN-MINDED, SINNER, CRIMINAL OR MAY BE DEAF, DUMB OR BLIND OR PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED PERSON; WITH FRAIL & WEAK BODY. IF MOON IS FULL / WAXING / STRONG, & IS IN THE BIRTH HOUSE, THE PERSON IS HANDSOME, STRONG & STURDY, NOBLE HEARTED, EXCELLENT BEHAVED, WELL-EDUCATED, CULTURED & MAY SUFFER DUE TO VAATHA DISEASES (LIKE PARALYSIS).

2) Bhrigu Sutras- by saint-astrologer Maharishi Bhrigu (3500 BC):-- Suthra (1) :- Roopa, laavanya yukthscha, chapalaha, vyadheena, jalaascha-soukhyaha; Suthra (2) :- pancha-dasa-varshe, bahu-yaathravaan; Suthra (3) :- Mesha, Vrushabha, Karka lagne Chandre, sasthra-paraha; Suthra (4) :- dhanee, sukhee, nrupaalaha, mrudu-vaak, budhiheena, mrudu-gaathraha; balee; Suthra (5) :- Subha-yuthe, drushte balavaan; Suthra (6):- budhimaan, aarogyavaan; vaak-jaalakaha; dhanee; Suthra (7):- Lagna-adhipe bala-rahithe, vyaadhimaan; Suthra (8) :- subha-graha yuthe, drushte; aarogyamaan = If the Moon is in the first house (ascendant), the native will be very handsome looking but unsteady mentally. He will suffer from bodily troubles and will be happy at watery places. He will perform many travels in his 15th year. If the Moon in the Ascendant is in Aries, Taurus or Cancer, the native will be well versed in shastras (Hindu religious scriptures), wealthy, happy and soft spoken. He will have soft skin and strong build but he will not be intelligent. If the Moon is aspected by benefics, the native will be powerful, wise, intelligent, healthy, clever conversationalist and wealthy. If the lord of the ascendant is weak, the native will suffer from ill health. If he is aspected by a benefic the health will be good.
Explanation :- Moon symbolises beauty. Her placement in the ascendant makes the native very handsome in appearance. Moon is always waning and waxing and represents mind (manasa-kaaraka). The mind of the native will therefore be unsteady. Moon is a watery planet. The native will therefore like watery places. When the Moon is in Aries in the ascendant, she will be lord of the 4th in the 1st. When she is in Taurus she will be exalted as lord of the 3rd in the 1st. When the Moon is in Cancer she will be in her own sign, in the Ascendant. The effects of these dispositions given are that the native will be versed in shastras, wealthy, happy, a king. He will be soft spoken, will be of strong body but not intelligent. We agree with the author in as far as position of Moon with Aries and Cancer as ascendants but we are not sure that the same will be the case with Taurus as ascendant. The View of Bhavaartha Ratnakar in this respect is as under: Vrushabhe sayamasya lagne Chandra-sthitau, visesha dhaha yogenu na praapnothi jatakaha = That is, the Moon in Taurus as ascendant is not particularly good for giving wealth. We also feel that the Moon should be waxing (or full Moon) to give the good results in full. We also feel that Moon in Scorpio, Libra and Pisces in the Ascendant will also be good because she will be in the ascendant as lord of the 9th, the 10th and the 5th respectively. The reason for the native not being intelligent may be due to the instability of native's mind. If the Moon is aspected by a benefic the native will be powerful, intelligent, wealthy etc. Very good results will accrue when Jupiter is in seventh to Moon (this disposition will give rise to Gajkesari yoga-a very beneficial yoga conferring wealth, name and fame upon the native). For a planet to give good results it is very necessary for the lord of the sign in which it is posited, to be strong and well placed. It is for this reason it is said that if the lord of the ascendant is weak the native will suffer from ill health. He will be quite healthy if the lord of the ascendant gets benefic aspect.
