News recently is replete with the release of certain papers that are embarassing (using a polite term) to Western elites. On one of the astro websites I found the birth details of one of the alleged perpertators of these crimes who is currently in jail. Since the person in question is not convicted yet, all of the accusations are "alleged", basically simply allegations. So lets just call the person here MG.
Before looking at the significators, I always like to see which nakshatras influence such outliers. Looking at the nakshatras of individual grahas is fruitless. So I have come up with a technique that students may find more useful (I may not have been the first). The 3 level technique is as follows:
Leve1: Look at the sublords of each cusp (first focus on those planets that appear repeatedly)
Level 2: See which planet is the starlord of each of these sublords.
Level 3: Finally, see which is nakshatra in which the planet from Level 2 is posited in
In MG's chart,
Mercury appears as sublord of 3, 5, 7, 9 - Mercury' starlord is Venus, and Ve is in Moola
Rahu appears as sublord of 2, 6, 8, 12 - Rahu's starlord is Mercury, and Me is in Purvashada
Saturn appears as sublord of 1,11 - Saturn's starlord is Sun, and Su is in Moola
Jupiter appears as sublord of 4, 10 - Jupiters starlord is Moon, and Mo is in Ashlesha
We can see the dominant energy impacting this chart is Moola (through houses 1,3,5,7,9,11)
The second power is that of Purvashada through 2, 6, 8 and 12.
So 10/12 houses are under the influence of just 2 nakshtras (majorly just 1 - Moola). This eliminates the myriad of nakshatras that are appear as cuspal and planetary starlords and allows the student to distill on the proveribal "one ring that rules them all".
Before we continue I want to make it clear that no one should extrapolate what I am writing to their own charts, because a whole lot of things need to be studied to make a judgement. Part of this study is post mortem which are doing because MG is such a singular personality. Also it is key to know that any person being dominated by 1 or 2 nakshtras like this, will show the more extreme of those nakshtras an are unlike the general population.
Key aspects of Mula that are relevant to this study:
Mula preceeds Purvashada, the second most prominent nakshatra. Mula is ruled by Ketu and its primary symbol is bunch of roots. The name itself means roots. From my personal experience with people who are similarly dominated by this nakshtra (and a few others) has not been positive. I.e. I find such people often taking a lot of wrong decisions in their lives to the point of wasting it away, hence it doesnt seem to me to be a positive nakshtra from a worldly point of view. The nakshtra gives people unusual focus, and hence they tend to try and go to the extreme (depth) of everything. The tied roots symbology suggests that this focus isnt freewill but they are compelled by their nature. So this is almost an animalistic focus. This may be explained by Ketu which deals with pitrus, legacy and past karmas.
The ruling diety is Nritti, the diety of dissolution and destruction. ChatGPT quotes the Rgveda to say Nritti is she who causes decay, loss and disintegration. She represents loss, death, poverty, misfortune, exile, and separation from the gods. She is anti-order.
Mula has an element of secrecy as well, as roots grow below the Earth.
Key aspects of Purvashada that are relevant to this study:
Its ruled by Venus, and it has multiple symbols: Elephants tusk, hand held fan, and a winnowing basket. All of these symbols suggest a sense of secrecy to me. An elephant's tusk is decorative, but the real teeth of use are hidden (Haathi ke daant, as the hindi saying goes). It is a big shiny object that the elephant shows off and is often a deteminant of who rules the herd. These people are are given to showing off.
A hand held fan is also decorative on the outside but plain on the side facing the person holding it. It can also be used to obsure an outsiders view of the face.
A winnowing basket is often used to keep live animals, like mice or snakes in. Again, the sense of concealing something in the dark.
The ruling diety of the nakshatra is Apah, described as the female counterpart of Varuna. Apah thus deals with the oceanic depths, ones which can hold treasures and monsters, but are hard to fathom. I asked ChatGPT to bring refrences from vedic sources, and it says that Apah pre-exists creation, and is thus probably a prevedic diety. Apah is the word for water, and may well signify the ocean of milk that was churned, which yielded both Amrita and Halahal.
So it fits the sense of a shiny exterior but with a another side to it, an unfathomable depth. Today we know that the side was dark.
Now we can make sense of the chart: House 1, which deals with self, ego, identity, instinct, and all the Kaama houses (3, 7, 11) are being ruled by Moola. Even houses like 5 (children/ creativity/ love) and 9 (guru, father, higher education). This tends to pervert the significance of these bhavas of life. Which MG has done.
Anyway the primary objective of this part was to highlight my technique of analysing which distills the essence of an indiviual to a smaller number of nakshatras. I have found that people with the most unqiue lives tend to have just 1 or 2 nakshatras governing them. Which would make intuitive sense that they are so singlemindedly driven that they achieve a lot - one way or the other, as we can see in the case of MG. Happy learning.
