Horoscope of President Nixon

Case Two

President Nixon

In the case of Nixon the US President birth time available has been questioned by some astrologers. There is no dispute about the Simha lagna, the planetary position. But there is no way of knowing whether the birth time given was local time or not. The degrees of the Moon and the Lagna do not change even if there is an error of some minutes. But the Vimshottari dasha and the divisional charts will undergo a change.

Lagna              26⁰34′              Mars                7⁰07′                Venus              10⁰51′

Sun                  26⁰46′              Mercury           7⁰23′                Saturn (R)       4⁰51′

Moon               27⁰33′              Jupiter             9⁰02′                Rahu                13⁰40′

In such cases if Jaimini’s Chara Dasha is applied with Karakas remaining unchanged, some events of his lift can be seen clearly.

Chara Dasha

Simha 1913 to 1921

Kanya 1921 to 1930

Tula                 1930 to 1934

Vrischika         1934 to 1935

No details about the first jOur dashas, Simha to Vrischika are known.

Dhanu 1935 to 1947

1. Marriage: 21 June, 1940 (Dhanu Karka/Mithuna?) If there was any courtship it could have been Dhanu-Simha from where DKN is in the 7th. In the next sub-period there is Upapada in Karka.
2. Dhanu contains the Putrakaraka. Dhanu dasha running fur full twelve years from 1935 to 1947 does promise both marriage and the birth of children.
3. From 1942 to 1946 he was a naval officer. Dhanu contains his Amatyakaraka, Sun. If the career started in Mesha with the Moon in the 10th house, naval connection is clear.
4. In 1946, Dhanu-Dhanu with all the rajayogas here his political career started.
5. The next dasha of Makar-1947 to 1955 with no great planetary combinations in kendras, trikonas or in the nth house could not have given him much.
6. Kumbha 1955 to 1966 was good for him to consolidate his position politically with some notable successes and failures.
7. Meena 1966 to 1969 with all the rajayogas in the 10th house with the Amatyakaraka he stood the best chance of becoming US President. It happened in Meena-Meena.
8. Mesha 1969 to 1977. Notice here the Atmakaraka in the 10th house. Nixon had the fortune of getting re-elected for a second term but in the sub-period of Dhanu September 1973 (remember it for rise and fall) the notorious Watergate case made him vulnerable and he could not complete his second term as the President of the USA.
9. Vrisha 1977 to 1986 with all the planets in the 8th house, he was now a retired person.
10. Mithuna 1986 to 1992 with Atmakaraka in the 8th house old age had its effect.
11. Karka 1992 to 1998. Karakamsha is Kanya. In Karka­ Kumbh January to July 1994 he died.
