Astrology / Vedic Jyotish Moving along to the next chart; a saint unquestionably, but it would be correct to say that this saint was perceived by all as one who knew how to serve God through serving humanity. A true mother, is it any surprise that the lagna arudha is placed in the fourth house as she created homes and resting places (4th) for many weary souls and looked after them with selfless love as only a mother can. Her spirituality was of genuine love and sacrifice and little wonder that the pada of 9th house falls in the 12th house just where Venus is placed. Giving birth to an institution of love and caring. Venus, additionally, is the matrukaraka in this horoscope. Her life was not easy and the presence of gnathikaraka sun (in strength) with the third karaka (bhratrikaraka mars) in 10th house is indicative of this self-chosen life of sacrifice, service and efforts. this was no airy-fairy saint, but a down to earth and practical angel, sent to the slums of Calcutta to uplift the human spirit and to thus earn her wings. T
hat atmakaraka moon (natural karaka for mother) is in Aries in 6th with debilitated Saturn is not accidental but indicative of her self-chosen mission. That retrograde Saturn happens to be putrakaraka is significant too in this symbol of motherhood divine that her life represents. Sun is the lord of 10th and very strong. It is also gnatikaraka and hence cannot promise luxuries and comfort. Atmakarak moon is in its nakshatra and so the life was intended to be hard and even harsh. Sun is also the final dispositor of several planets and this again indicates that despite all the pain and self-denials, this individual will attain world reknown and she did. Tenth pada in 7th house hardly is capable of keeping the real worth hidden! So the saint comes to light, and finds her work just as it was intended (dashamesh in 10th with lagnesha placed therein) with full personal involvement, though others may see this as being enacted in a far-off land in a culture that was not her own (10th pada in 7th house where rahu is placed). Astrology writers tend to depict in their writings, almost in an unsaid manner, and sometimes overtly – as if the rules of astrology are rigid and work perfectly each time. However, it is not always true and even after weeding out inaccurate birth times, ayanamshas and other factors, each astrologer would personally experience difficult charts. Difficult because the rules of astrology do not work predictably in those cases, despite all corrections and fixing and tweaking humanly and honestly possible. These charts provide one an opportunity to stop and wonder if there is something even beyond the ignorance of the astrologer as well as beyond the perfection of astrology, that may need to be accounted for from time to time. With that always kept in the back of one’s mind, when indications behave in a predictable manner, it gives one the satisfaction and reason to continue pursuing astrology as a tool for useful advice. And, when one gets stymied by the ‘difficult’ unrelenting charts, this gives one the reason to pursue even further with eyes opened wider and the mind energized by this challenge that destiny posed before us or perhaps – it is a case where the expression of freedom of choice has challenged the drums of destiny!
