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 way 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 for him is 22/18 hours. I have no idea or comment about his date of birth, but the 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 better 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 peaceful, balanced, and spiritual personalities ruled by the Libra sign, such as Raman Maharishi, Mahatma Gandhi, Chaitanya Maha Prabhu, Goutam 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 can think, these are two or three combinations, as at once an aspect of the Sun and a position at the same house is not possible. The summary of this Sutra is that the effect of the Sun and Moon on the 12^th house is responsible for such a type of birth.

Taking Virgo ascendant, the 12^th house falls in the sign of the Sun; it is quite suitable, but the 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 the mother of 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 that 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 the disciple and the 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 the Moon is not in aspect ascendant. A combination from ‘Sanket Nidhi’ is here-

The moon should not aspect the 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 a 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 number 126. Though a Virgo ascendant can also support this. The fourth house occupied by the 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 the 9^th house.

1-    Celibacy - From Virgo ascendant 7^th lord with malefic in the 7^th house, moreover 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 that the 7^th lord for a 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, a 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 the Sun, it gets an increase in its inner significance but can lose outer significance.

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

He was born in the main period of Saturn; later, he entered Mercury`s main period, and this was the period of his spiritual pursuits (according to Dr.Raman). Mercury is the 9^th lord from the Libra ascendant and the ascendant lord from the 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 is joined with Atmakarak in the navamsa.

3-    His end and crucifixion-

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 serve this purpose from the Libra ascendant.

He was hanged to cross. This process involves the feet, the portion near to ankle, both arm joints, the armpit, and the palm. Saturn in the 6^th at sign Pisces with the 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 Brihat Samhita and the ankles according to another system. Both divisions are fit for the practical ground. The star Hasta and Uttaraphalguni falls in the 12^th house within the Virgo sign; both stars represent hands and palms 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 crucifixion depends on pins. The 8^th Ketu from the Libra ascendant can explain this well.
