Chart Analysis:
- Adolf Hitler
By Bundesarchiv, Bild 102-10460 / Hoffmann, Heinrich / CC-BY-SA 3.0, CC BY-SA 3.0 de, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=5414939
Background:
Adolf Hitler had an exalted Sun, Mercury, Venus(R), Maandi & Gulika in his 7th house of Partnerships/Marriage/Status (Paad Prapthi)/Deviation from the correct path/Generative Organs/Valour/Destruction of Enemies/Acquisition of money kept in a different place/Secret sex affairs among others.
Within the 7th house, Sun, Mercury and Gulika are in Ashwini Nakshatra ruled by Ketu as the Nakshatra Lord and Mars as the Rasi Lord. In his chart, Sun rules over the 10th house of the government posited in the 7th house of business. The Sun itself is the planet for the government/governance. Mercury rules over the 12th house of spending/investment/overseas locations/fear from foes/enemy/hatred by the public/breakdown of marriage/mental imbalance among others. Mercury is also the ruler of the 9th house of pilgrimage/effort to learn/valour/auspiciousness/rituals among others. Mercury is the Karaka for speech/knowledge/infantry/commerce/eunuch/black magic/tantra or tantric like/communication/birds among others.
The Nakshatra Ashwini is associated with speed, twins (or of a person of the likeness of the native), transportation, Shidravyapini Shakti (penetrating power), healing, yoga, mathematics, equestrian sports. It is also represented by the Poison Nut tree and the Swan. The native of this Nakshatra wants the world to be free from diseases. He wants to be able to hear well. This Nakshatra is also associated with Golden Chariots, immortality among others. Since the Sun is exalted here, leadership, authority and honour are associated with Ashiwini.
Interpretation:
Gulika in Ashwini would give warped/poisoned results of the Nakshatra especially with relation to the karakatawas of the Nakshatra and of the planets posited in the Nakshatra. Ashwini is the asterism of transportation and also indicates speed/agility. Hitler’s Mercury in Ashwini gave rise to the developments like the FritzX, considered to be the grandfather of today’s Smart Bombs. It was radio guided (Mercury) and could be landed with 700 lbs of explosives (Mars/Ketu) capable of hitting battleships and cruisers (war transport). It could be deployed from a height of 20,000 feet to penetrate (Ashwini – penetrate into the problem) 28 inches of armour. Hitler developed the Flying Wing Bomber which could carry 2,000 lbs of bombs while flying at 600 km/h. Hitler also sanctioned the plan to build the Horten Ho 229 with turbo jet engines equipped with Cannons and Rockets. His scientist also developed a miniature radio-controlled tank which, laden with explosives, could destroy a regular enemy tank, while being navigated from a safe distance via radio control (Mercury in Ashwini). All this was done with the funds of the Government (Sun in Ashwini). Ashwini Nakshatra also gave him his own warped ideas (presence of Gulika) about healing the world. Hitler’s advocacy of the supremacy of the Aryan race is well known. What is not so well known is that he believed that the killing of the Jews ( millions of Jews were killed by Hitler’s Germany during World War II that it is said to be the most horrific war in the history of mankind with respect to civilian casualties) would lead to the “healing of Germany”.
Ashwini Nakshatra promotes alternate healing methods like the herbal system. Under Hitler, the Nazis cultivated the herb garden at Dachau and experimented with herbal medicine since they expected the real doctors to be away tending to soldiers when the war started. The Nazis were determined to foster the faith of the German population in the alternative healers.
Ashwini Nakshatra is also represented by the Poison Nut Tree and the Swan (elegance). Gulika (poison) is in Ashwini. Hitler poisoned and killed over 6 million Jews (the entire family tree of several thousand families) during the course of his rule using poisoned gas and in concentration camps. He had a fleet of 30 Mercedes and a collection of fantastic jewellery and paintings. While he projected himself as a common man’s leader, he lavished money on the most expensive clothes stitched from the best tailors (elegance of a Swan)
Since this Nakshatra rules over transportation (and is influenced by Venus in Aries), Hitler was driven in a 1941 Mercedes-Benz 770K. Its upholstery had concealed compartments for Luger pistols (the presence of Gulika in Ashwini). Hidden below the serpentine body panels were ¾-inch steel plates that, together with the 1½-inch-thick window glass, armor the limousine sufficiently to survive a grenade blast or a jaunt over a landmine.
Ashwini Nakshatra is represented by the Ashwini twins. Adolf Hitler is known to have employed at least one double and it has been alleged that he employed as many as six body-doubles as a method of self-protection.
Hitler’s Nazi also conducted experiments on the subject of immortality which is denoted by Ashwini via the story of Chyavana Rishi. Like the Ashwini Kumars wanted to become demi-gods, Hitler too wanted to make the Aryan Race the supreme race and his government conducted experiments to increase lifespan and enhance youth. Hitler himself used a concoction of 80 drugs a day, which included rat poison, bull semen, morphine (Soma), extract from the prostate gland of bulls, among others, to keep himself young and virile. According to official reports, Hitler died in 1945 in a bunker. However, newer research indicates that he died much later in 1984 (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2545770/New-book-claims-THIS-picture-proves-Hitler-escaped-Berlin-bunker-died-South-America-1984-aged-95.html) thus figuratively bringing out the Mrit Sanjeevani Vidya aspect of this asterism.
Ashwini is said to be a passive Nakshatra. However, he always whipped up frenzy with his rabble-rousing speeches. This seems to be against the tenets of this Nakshatra. However, it is now known that these were not natural to him but were well rehearsed and that left to himself, Hitler was calm but could act to be seen as hysterical.
- Dorothy Brett
Background:
Dorothy Bret was an Anglo-American painter, remembered as much for her social life as for her art. In this case Ketu is posited in the 9th house in Ashwini Nakshatra, its own Nakshatra. Ketu is a natural malefic connected with penance, hunters, mantras, instability of mind, knowledge, knowledge of animals, suffering from foes, renunciation, hunger among others.
Interpretation:
The ability to hear and not be deaf is the desire of Ashwini. However, malefic Ketu, even though in its own Nakshatra, is in a Badhaka house. Ketu is aspected by Mercury (communication) and the lagna lord Sun (where the lagna has Gulika and Maandi) from the 3rd House of Ears where it is conjunct also with Rahu. This made the native progressively deaf. Ashwini is the Star of Transport. Dorothy Brett moved from place to place. She moved from England to New Mexico. Within England she lived and studied at various places. Ketu is being placed in the 4th Pada (Karkata Navamsa) spoils home/domestic matters which made her move from place to place. She lived in rented and shared accommodation (Ketu in Karkata Navamsa) for a number of years and also lived in an isolated ranch in her later years. Natives of Ashwini love speed. Dorothy Bret too in her earlier years loved watching (in Wild West shows) a stagecoach being chased by Red Indians as part of an act. At Taos (Mexico) she lived in a ranch, never far from horses. She said that she “liked the sound of horse hoofs on the forest floor” a sound that she could feel in her body.
Natives of Ashwini Nakshatra want to be in elite company. This was a theme from the life of Dorothy Bret. She associated herself with the likes of Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield, Aldous Huxley, Gilbert Cannan, Dora Carrington and D. H. Lawrence
- Robert F. Kennedy
By Warren K. Leffler – https://www.loc.gov/resource/ppmsca.77928/, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=134910867
Background:
Robert Francis Kennedy (November 20, 1925 – June 6, 1968), also known as RFK, was an American politician and lawyer. He served as the 64th United States attorney general from January 1961 to September 1964, and as a U.S. senator from New York from January 1965 until his assassination in June 1968, when he was running for the Democratic presidential nomination. Like his brothers John F. Kennedy and Ted Kennedy, he was a prominent member of the Democratic Party and is considered an icon of modern American liberalism.
The Lagna here is at the end of the 4th Pada of Ashwini. The Nakshatra lord, Ketu in the 10th house of Karma in the Uttara Ashadha of Sun. Sun is in the 8th house with Mandi/Gulika and Mercury.
Interpretation:
The Lagna in Ashwini should have given Robert F. Kennedy typical traits of this asterism in his personality. Let’s note the following:
- The President (John F. Kennedy and Robert’s brothers) once remarked about his brother that, “If I want something done and done immediately I rely on the Attorney General (Robert F. Kennedy). He is very much the doer in this administration, and has an organizational gift I have rarely if ever seen surpassed. This asterism is known for its speed and agility.
- This asterism has a connection with horses. Sirhan Sirhan, who assassinated Robert F. Kennedy, was training to be a jockey. However, multiple falls from horses cut short his ambition to become a jockey. This also led to some changes in his personality traits and later led him to kill Robert F. Kenney on Palestine-related issues (the Nakshatra Lord aspecting the 6th house and the 6th Lord Mercury in the 8th house with Maandi/Gulika and Sun – the role of the CIA (government) is conjectured)
- Ashwini Nakshatra natives are also known to enjoy speed. Robert F. Kennedy liked swimming in white waters (very fast flowing bodies of water) which he was advised against on many occasions. He would swim in water where others would only raft.
- Ashwini natives go where healing is required. As Attorney General, Robert F. Kennedy fought organized crime and also for the rights of the African Americans (like the Ashwini Kumars also treated mortals)
- Ashwini natives are connected with the Poison Nut Tree. RFK always said (as he fought for the rights of the African Americans) that violence was the poison that came in the relation between men of different colours
- Robert F. Kennedy, as Attorney General, was like a shadow (Chaaya to Sanjna) to his brother, the President. As the most important member of the cabinet, he took care of all important matters for the President—a trait from Ashwini Nakshatra. He was almost the shadow president on whom the President could rely completely.
- The Lagna of Robert Kennedy is on the cusp of Ashwin and Bharani and is influenced by Bharani, the Star of Restraint. He showed restraint in pointing a finger at the Mafia/Cuba/CIA, all of whom, he felt, could have a role in the assassination of his brother. He always also showed restraint in sharing information (Bharani) while at the same time showing candour or being combative (Mars)
- Natives of this asterism bring healing energies, happiness, and bliss to everyone they touch. In the case of RFK, too, “Robert Kennedy could reach poor and dispossessed people who themselves had difficulty articulating their needs and anxieties. People loved him even though he challenged, even baited them, to overcome their fears and narrow self-interest.”
