HOROSCOPE

by J.K. Sivan  

Dear Children,

When you  were  born  how  happy your  parents were? How  much they dreamt to plan and  nicely celebrate your birthday.

Imagine  a child just born but immediately separated from the parents, transplanted into someone’s  house and being brought up by them as their own child.   This is how  Krishna’s  birthday happened to be. Of course the foster parents did not know the child was not theirs!   He was dark, thought to be their child in the  Gopa (cowherds) community. They did not much care  about his  Horoscope. Later many experts  charted  His  horoscope.

This is how it appeared and the predictions  entirely tally His deeds and attitude,  character and achievements  This chart is drawn and predictions are by no less a person than sri  B.V.Raman, the famous Astrologer

Remainder of Moon’s main period at the time of birth = 4 yr – 2 ms -24 days. Planetary Positions at the time of birth of Bhagavan Sri Krishna:

Krishna was born at mid night, with Rohini as his star, on Ashtami day in Sravana month at  Mathura,the lat.long degree being  (27*25’ North; 77*41’ East) on July 19, 3228 BC.!!

I give below Sri Raman’s predictions on Krishna’s  horoscope  charted by him.

Special Features.—The Lagna is Taurus or Vrishabha, a sign of Venus, and it is occupied by the Moon and aspected by Saturn-- Krishna is extremely handsome.

 The dominance of the influences of the Moon and Venus, with Saturn and Mars - His appearance, wonderfully graceful. Krishna possessed a magnetic personality, crimson cheeks, 'coral lips', a fascinating face and a sky-blue complexion—features largely due to the delicate blending of the martian, saturnine, venusian and lunar features. Lagna lord Venus is in his own navamsa.--- Krishna was a master of courtesy to everyone. 

His invincible prowess in battle field  is brought out by the neecha-bhanga of the martial planet Mars in the 3rd or house of courage.  He therefore defeated mighty Sisupala etc, with courage, tact and resourcefulness.

The Moon, the planet of emotion, is exalted in Lagna, and unafflicted by Rahu-- great serenity of mind,

Mercury the planet of intellect who owns the 2nd or house of speech is exalted in the 5th or house of intelligence. This  unique combination resulted in  Krishna’s wonderful intelligence and extraordinary conversational ability. His  giant intellect was unequalled. He was a super thinker. Krishna’s uncanny diplomacy and unbounded vision—due to ideal disposition of Mercury. Jupiter is in the 4th.   Krishna had rich and responsive human sympathy. Sun's association in his own place rendered Krishna a terror to the wicked and a friend to the wise.

The 10th lord aspects the Lagna, the Atmakaraka Sun and the planet of Dharma Jupiter, in their turn aspect the 10th. Consequently He possessed a passionate zeal to safeguard Dharma. Krishna's birth in prison is justified by the association of the lords of Lagna (Venus) and the 12th (Mars) with Rahu. Jupiter, lord of the 11th (elder brothers and sisters), has gained 8 navamsas and is in the 9th. He is aspected by Saturn in Rasi and has joined Rahu in navamsa. It must be noted that Krishna was the 8th issue, all the eider ones having been put to death by Kamsa. Due to the exaltation of Matrukaraka Moon and the situation of Pitrukaraka Sun in his own house with Jupiter, his parents were long-lived.

Both Kalatrakaraka Venus and the 7th lord Mars together, with Rahu  explain why Krishna had many wives!  . But as Venus is near Rahu and away from the sensual planet Mars. His love for His wives had no taint of carnality. He was free from attachment of any kind.  Birth in a sign of Venus no doubt endowed him with a vital nature but it was under conscious control. Mercury, exalted in the 5th or house of children, occupies the constellation of the Sun while Jupiter Putrakaraka is in association with the Sun, --- He had many children. The 4th or house of education is considerably fortified due to the presence of Jupiter and the Sun-Jupiter occupying the constellation of Venus. –Krishna was an expert in "siksha, kalpas, vedangas and all the Vedas, archery, mimamsa, logical and six expedients of politics".

Important Events — The Moon, though excellently placed, owns the 3rd while Mars, as ruling the 7th, is a definite maraka. Consequently practically throughout the Dasas of the Moon and Mars, which extended till the native was aged about 11 years--- Krishna encountered several asuras ( Kamsa deputed rakshasas to kill Him). Probably at the fag end of Kuja Dasa, Krishna put to death His maternal uncle and tyrant Kamsa-  Mars as lord of the 7th in association with Venus, lord of the 6th (enemies), in the 3rd (an upachaya) enabled Krishna to achieve victory over His greatest enemy and thus tide over the maraka period.

His disposed of many wicked kings, rakshasas, demons etc.,to save  the pious and the god-fearing from death. He tried to  prevent the fatricidal war between the Kauravas and the Pandavas. Mahabharata war took place about 3138 B.C. when Ketu Dasa was in progress in the Lord's horoscope. Ketu is in the 9th, the house of Saturn, whose results Ketu should give. Saturn is Yogakaraka and occupies the 7th having gained digbaia or directional strength. Krishna's  role in the Mahabharata war was great. As charioteer to Arjuna, He remained a silent observer of the war, but directed "the movements to accomplish His final object of destroying the wicked and protecting the innocent".

Ketu is Mokshakaraka and he is in the 9th in the constellation of the Moon aspected by the martial planet Mars. And Saturn, as we have already seen, is immensely fortified. It was at the fag end of Ketu Dasa, that the immortal Bhagavadgita was taught by the Lord to Arjuna, on the battle-field, before the war commenced, when Arjuna, overcome by emotional weakness, shirked from his duty as a Kshatriya to fight for a just cause. In the remaining Dasas of Venus, the Sun and the Moon, Krishna passed a peaceful and happy life. With the dawn of Kuja Dasa again dissensions amongst Yadavas broke out. It will be seen that Mars as lord of the 7th is a definite maraka and he occupies the 3rd, a house of longevity, with Rahu. In the Navamsa again Mars is in the 2nd, a house of maraka. Consistent with the nature of Mars, Krishna chose to depart to His own abode Krishnaloka  (Goloka vrindavana) "in person".

Atmakaraka Sun with the Gnanakaraka Jupiter aspecting the 10th or Karmasthana --  shows  Krishna’s integrated and balanced personality. Yogakaraka Saturn is Vargottama and has digbala. His aspecting the Sun and Jupiter and his being placed in his own constellation are favourable factors rendering the nativity strong and sound. Since Saturn happens to be Ayush-karaka also, his strong disposition conferred a long life of 125 years. Mercury's exaltation in a trikona—as lord of the 2nd (speech) in the 5th (intelligence) denotes wonderful and extraordinary intellect. It will be seen that Lagna lord Venus is with two malefics. This combination plus the kendra position of Jupiter and the Sun indicates perfection of all aspects of His personality. He was an ideal father, an ideal son, an ideal king, an ideal husband, an ideal statesman and an ideal teacher.

We  need no Astrologer to tell us how it could be that all these plus points were in Krishna’s Horoscope  because  we all know  he was not a human being like us --  Why should it  surprise us  when the person in whose horoscope all these great qualities were found is not like you and me, but God on earth...?
