Jesus Christ

!!Jesus Christ!!

In this paper, I am talking about the horoscope of Jesus Christ. Though it is too old a personality his magnanimous work will always remain relevant. Secondly, discussion on any subject is a good job to increase knowledge it opens the door to a new concept of knowledge.

Dr. B. V. Raman put it in his notable work ‘Notable horoscope’. According to him his date of birth is 25/12/07 B.C. and the time taken him is 22/18 hours. I have no idea and comment about his date of birth but time. He took his ascendant Virgo but as I was able to think his time must be about midnight and his ascendant should be Libra instead of Virgo. Please ponder over some points. The position of planets is taken from his book ‘Notable Horoscope’. 

1-    His meekness, modesty, and compassion are well explained by Libra ascendant than Virgo. The Virgo ascendant has three malefic aspects of Mars, Saturn and Ketu can create a somewhat rude or harsh temperament as only the benefic aspect of Jupiter cannot fully avert this. Many other peace full, balanced, and spiritual personalities ruled by the Libra sign such as Raman Maharishi, Mahatma Gandhi, Chaitnya Maha Prabhu, Goutam the Buddha (moon sign), etc.

Unmarried mother (Kaneen birth) -  The combination to be borne by the unmarried or virgin girl, is given in the ‘Jatak Parijat’.

 The 12^th house is within the aspect of the Sun or the 12^th house has the Vargas of Sun and Moon or this house with Sun and Moon. As I am able to think these are two or three combinations as at once aspect of Sun and position at same house is not possible. The summary of this Sutra is the effect of the Sun and Moon on the 12^th house is responsible for such type of birth.

Taking Virgo ascendant 12^th house falls in the sign of the Sun it is quite suitable but Moon is out of the picture as it is in the 7^th house having no relation with the 12^th or its lord.

Taking Libra as an ascendant the 12^th house has an aspect of the Moon from the 6^th house and the 12^th lord Mercury with the Sun can present a better form of the above combination. Further 12^th house is also squared with Sun and Moon, enhancing and near to the meaning of Sloka as the mutual squared position of planets and house also becomes significator of each other.

The Karak of mother the Moon is in Virgo navamsa and also can support the same from both types of ascendants.

1-    Enemy Disciple- One of his disciples informed his presence to his opposite peoples and was caught by them and crucified.

A rule of Satya Sanhita of sage Satyacharya is when the 5^th lord posited in the 6^th house with the 6^th lord the son of the native turns to his enemy. The 5^th house stands for both disciple and son. The disciple was also treated equally to the son. So the combination is only relevant with the Libra ascendant. It has the 5^th lord Saturn in the 6^th house with the lord of it.

2-    Father-

a-     Most combinations for the absence of a father at the birth time are relevant when Moon is not aspect ascendant. A combination from ‘Sanket Nidhi’ is here-

The moon should not aspect ascendant and in the junction of Navamsa. The longitude of the Moon observable here, Dr. Raman brilliantly calculated the position of planets of so old date. Getting the Libra ascendant time taken by it roughly one hour and Moon longitudes will increase by only 30 minutes half of the degree, cannot harm the meaning of the combination. (Some interpreters comment on the navamsa of the movable sign instead of the junction of the navamsa. I have this book with the Hindi commentary of Pt. Ram Dayalu himself published from ‘Ganga Vishnu Shri Krishna das Prakashan Kalyan Mumbai’.)

a-     The combinations of the unknown father also support Libra's ascendant

--Vacant square houses.

This combination is also responsible for his difficult childhood. He did not enjoy any kind of ‘Yoga Phal’ during his lifetime.

-- The 4^th lord in the 6^th house with 6^th lord.

-- The 6^th lord Jupiter with its navamsa depositor in both Vargas within the aspect of malefic Rahu. A well-known combination of ‘Sarvarth Chintamani’ 4^th chapter Sutra number126. Though Virgo ascendant can also support this. The fourth house occupied by Sun and Mercury also supports the Virgo ascendant.

           c- Divine father- The 9^th lord mercury with the Karak of Atman the Sun and aspecting 9^th house.

1-    Celibacy - From Virgo ascendant 7^th lord with malefic in the 7^th house more over with a sensitive planet that is also 11^th lord the Moon with it!

From Libra ascendant 7^th is unoccupied by any planet but the 7^th lord Mars attains a fixed sign with fixed navamsa, that is of a eunuch planet Saturn, moreover within the aspect of a eunuch planet mercury in the navamsa. It has been observed the 7^th lord for Libra ascendant in the 5^th house gives hazards in married life or prevents marriage.

2-    Spirituality-  I have read a rare combination of spirituality that works too, on the practical ground. This is from the work of Bhaskaracharya Hindi commentary done by Gori Shankar Kapoor. This book does not contain original Sanskrit Slokas but only Hindi translations. The combination is-

“The 4^th lord should be posited in a watery sign and with Mars or with the 10^th lord or with Mercury. The native is a true knower of the knowledge of God.”

From Virgo ascendant 4^th lord is in a watery sign but not fulfilling other helping conditions.

From Libra ascendant the 4^th lord Saturn in the 6^th house over a watery sign with the 10^th lord Moon.

The aspect of the 9^th lord to the 9^th house is also a good factor for spirituality. When a planet conjoins with Sun it gets increases in its inner significance but can lose outer significance.

From Virgo ascendant 9^th house has Ketu in it aspected by 6^th lord malefic Saturn. The 9^th lord Venus joined with Rahu. Ketu can give spirituality but the association of Rahu with 9^th lord is not good. It can bestow only false spirituality or hypocrites.

He is born in the main period of Saturn later he enjoined Mercury`s main period and this was the period of his spiritual pursuits (according to Dr.Raman). Mercury is the 9^th lord from Libra ascendant and the ascendant lord from Virgo ascendant. The pursuit of spirituality is more relevant in the period of the 9^th lord than the ascendant lord.

According to Dr. Raman, this pursuit went on up to some part of Ketu`s main period. Ketu is a natural Karak of spirituality and Moksha and joined with Atmakarak in the navamsa.

3-    His end and crucifix-

He attains the ultimate goal of life discarding the physical body in the main period of Ketu. Ketu is in the 8^th house within two malefic aspects that solve this purpose from Libra ascendant.

He was hanged to cross. This process involves the feet the portion near to ankle, both arm joints or armpit, and the palm. Saturn in the 6^th at sign Pisces with 6^th lord and moon from Libra ascendant indicates injury in the feet. The position of Saturn on the Revati star and this star represents the armpit according to Brihit Samhita and ankles according to another system. Both divisions are fit on the practical ground. The star Hasta and Uttaraphalguni falls in the 12^th house within the Virgo sign both stars represents hands and palm within three malefic aspects. Perhaps he was also crowned with pins. This process involves the forehead which is ruled by star Rohini according to a system and falls in the 8^th house within the aspect of Mars and Saturn and Ketu also influences it. So the process of the crucifix is well explained taking Libra as his ascendant. The Ketu is a Karak planet of pins and the process of crucifix depends on pins. The 8^th Ketu from Libra ascendant can explain this well.
