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 12th house and Saturn in 2nd 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, -----------------------
