The classical example of the tragedy of a brilliant career :
President Kennedy of the USA had become, a cult-figure during his life time but look at his navamsha and the tragedy of his career is well explained.
Lagna 27°35′ Mars (AmK) 25°43′ Venus (MK) 24°02′
Sun (PK) 15°08′ Mercury (AK) 27°53′ Saturn (GK) 4°27′
Moon 24°30′ Jupiter (DK) 0°20′ Rahu 18°32′
1. The biggest rajayoga is taking place in the eighth house where both the AK and AmK combine.
2. Other rajayogas are PK and DK in the ninth house.
In the Navamsha
AK is associated with no rajayoga at all.
AmK associated with debilitated Moon is aspected by debilitated darakaraka.
His career came to an end in the Chara dasha of Aries which began in 1957. He contested elections in the sub-period of Cancer from where, in his birth chart, both the AK and AmK were in the tenth house.
But his career came to an end when he was running the sub-period of Scorpio in November, 1963 when both the AK and AmK were in the sixth house. The sub-period was eighth from the Atmakaraka and the major period was the period of Aries in which Atmakaraka itself is posited.
Let me give instances to show why the Kendra, trikona positions and the one-eleven dispositions of both the AK and AmK in the navamsha are important.
- In Jawahar Lal Nehru’s horoscope (given earlier) AK and AmK are in Kendra in the birth horoscope while in the navamsha they aspect each other.
- In Lal Bahadur Shastri’s horoscope they are together both in the birth horoscope and the navamsha.
- In Rajiv Gandhi’s horoscope they are together in the birth horoscope and aspect each other in the navamsha.
- In Indira Gandhi’s horoscope AK and AmK are in six-eight position in the birth horoscope but in the navamsha the Amatyakaraka is in the tenth from the Atmakaraka, which is the best position according to my research.
- In Morarji horoscope they aspect each other in the birth horoscope but are in six-eight position in the Navamsha.
- In Sanjay Gandhi’s horoscope they do not even form any rajayoga but his mother, Indira Gandhi tried to groom him into a future prime minister of India, so unsuccessfully.
What have been given in this part of the book are my own researches of years which I have tested on hundreds of horoscopes.
Naturally I insist with absolute confidence that these researches can be made use of for good and sound predictions and should be combined with the Vimshottari dasha also. The reason for this will be explained under the heading, ‘Limitations of the Chara dasha’ in the chapter – ‘Conclusion and Suggestions.
In this chapter it has been shown how the Navamsha becomes the crucial tool for a better analysis.
Then there are finer and finest tools in which our researches are giving us brilliant results. They are not being given here for some reasons : first let people get used to the Chara dasha in a simple way; when they show keen interest only then some of the other researches can be published. Till now there existed no book in the world on the use of the Chara dasha for predictions, just as there existed none on Yogini dasha till Jhanji and Sharma published the first ever book in the world, and so brilliantly illustrated at that.
