I already published over 880 articles (one a day) on various topics of Vedic Astrology in my blog starting from June-1-2008. I got many thousands of e-mail expressing their appreciation of my articles and the blog. I trust the contents of my blog are very useful to amateur astrologers, who desire to master the subject. I publish the Horoscope Analysis of Bhagavan Gautama Buddha in a serial order in nine parts starting from Oct—28—2010.
Gautama Buddha was one of the greatest saints produced in India to spread human values and reform the practices like casteism, other superstitious practices in Hinduism prevalent in his period. He preached Dharma (right behaviour) as a reformed Hinduism. Later it got shaped into a separate religion “Buddhism”. He is adored by millions of people all over the Asian Nations as supreme God. Hindus worship him as one of the ten Avatharas (incarnations) of Bhagavan Sri Narayana.
Horoscope analysis – Gautama Buddha
Part – 1 Oct—28--2010
Siddhartha, Gautama are the names given by parents. His father King Suddhodhana ruled over the vast Sakya kingdom (the present Nepal), with Kapilavasthu as his capital. His mother was Mayadevi; she died soon after Siddhartha was born. He was born in a royal garden called, Lumbini vana. He was brought up by his aunt Gautami; so he was named Gautama Buddha later.
Date of birth = April—14—0623 before Christ; Vaisakha punnami; noon at about 12 hrs. His birth star = Visakha—1 pada. Tuesday. Remainder of Guru dasa (Jupiter’s period) at birth time was 15 ys—1m – 6 days. Kaliyuga era = 2479. Latitude = 27*08’ North; Longitude = 83*05’ East.

Horoscopes of great persons with divine nature, like Bhagavan Sri Krishna, Bhagavan Sri Rama and Bhagavan Sri Gautama Buddha are elusive. They can not be analysed applying the ordinary principles and known combinations of planets described in the Vedic astrology texts of yore. King Sudhodhana consulted his court-astrologers to explain the new-born boy’s horoscope. They found 5 planets in Mesha (Aries), the 10th house (Rajya sthana; Kendra; Sri Narayana sthana), The lord of birth lagna (Karkataka, Cancer) was Moon and he was in 4th house (Kendra; Sri Narayana sthana). Moon was full (Punnami) and was in Libra (Tula), its lord was Sukra (Venus). Also Moon was aspected (7th drushti) by 5 planets in Mesha (Sun, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Saturn). So Moon, the lagna-lord was highly fortified (strengthened). Sun was exalted and is in Mesha (Aries). They predicated that the boy grows up to become either a great enlightened ascetic (sanyasi) or a mighty emperor (and conqueror of the entire world) after his 30th year. In either case, he shall earn everlasting fame and name and shall rule the hearts and souls of millions of people all over the world for thousands of years to come. (to be continued tomorrow).
