Chart Analysis:

  1. Alice Bailey:

(The Theosophical Society Emblem. Like the Pisces fish, the Ouroboros going after its tail)

Most beneficial for spiritual growth and psychic abilities: Her autobiography states that at age 15, on June 30, 1895, a stranger visited Bailey, “…a tall man, dressed in European clothes and wearing a turban” who told her she needed to develop self-control to prepare for particular work he planned for her to do. This was the creation and publication of 19 books and educational and meditation work that reached into “practically all the countries of the world.”


Background:

Pushyan is an Aditya: Bailey’s writings include a detailed exposition of the “seven rays” presented as the fundamental energies behind and through all manifestations. They are seen as the fundamental creative forces of the universe and emanations of Divinity that underlie the evolution of all things. The rays are described as related to human psychology, the destiny of nations, as well as the planets and stars of the heavens. The concept of the seven rays can be found in Theosophical works. Campbell writes that Bailey “…was the first to develop the idea of the seven rays, although it can be found in germ in earlier Theosophical writings.” The seven rays also appear in Hindu religious philosophy.

Interpretation:

  • Happy marriage with tragic endings: At age 22, Bailey did evangelical work in connection with the YMCA and the British Army. This took her to India, where, in 1907, she met her future husband, Walter Evans. Together, they moved to America, where Evans became an Episcopalian priest. The marriage did not last, and Bailey pushed for and received a divorce. She left with their three children after a formal separation in 1915. Then followed a difficult period in which she worked in a sardine factory to support herself and the children.
  • Interstellar Travel (King Kakudumi travelled to Brahmaloka): But she did speak of Masters as having evolved beyond the human level and expounded a cosmology of a living universe in which even planets and stars are regarded as living entities. These ideas may partially account for an association in the minds of some between Bailey and others of the Theosophical schools and UFOs. For instance, Christopher Partridge wrote of this association as “easily transferred” The connection does exist in the sense that there is a subset of persons interested in both esoteric writings and UFOs and who link them, as shown by the fact that some books that cite Alice Bailey or Theosophy also cite UFOs.
  • Connected with the number 32: In 1932, theosophist Alice Bailey and her husband, 32-degree Freemason Foster Bailey, started World Goodwill—an official non-governmental organization within the United Nations. World Goodwill has three stated aims:

* To help mobilise the energy of goodwill;

* To cooperate in the work of preparation for the reappearance of the Christ;

* To educate public opinion on the causes of major world problems and to help create a thought form for a solution.

  • Jesus Christ connected with Revati: She asked for God and Prayer to be removed from the education system: “Change curriculum to ensure that children are freed from the bondage of Christian culture. Why? Because children go to school to be equipped to face life, they are willing to trust and value what is given to them. If you take God out of education, they will unconsciously form a resolve that God is not necessary to face life. They will focus on those things the school considers worthy of being passed on and look at God as an additional if one can afford the additional.” Alice Bailey had the 6L of strife (Jupiter) in the 9H of religion aspected by the Lagna Lord Moon posited in the 3H of war

  1. Jimmy Swaggart:

People who jump traffic lights lose the protection of Pushyan: On October 11, 1991, Swaggart was found in the company of a prostitute for a second time. He was pulled over by a police officer in Indio, California, for driving on the wrong side of the road. With him in the vehicle was a woman named Rosemary Garcia. According to Garcia, Swaggart had stopped to proposition her on the side of the road. She later told reporters, “He asked me for sex. I mean, that’s why he stopped me. That’s what I do. I’m a prostitute.” This time, rather than confessing to his congregation, Swaggart told those at Family Worship Center, “The Lord told me it’s flat none of your business.” Swaggart’s son Donnie then announced to the stunned audience that his father would be temporarily stepping down as head of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries for “a time of healing and counselling.

Background:

Connected with Jesus Christ:  Venus is in the 4H of national work, name, and fame. Venus is the Lord of the 6H of employment and the 11H of regular income and gains. Venus is conjunct with Sun, the Lord of the 9H, or religion and religious activities. Jimmy Lee Swaggart is an American evangelist, Christian music singer, pianist, pastor, and author. His 1980s telecast was transmitted to over 3,000 stations and cable systems weekly. He now has his television channel. Swaggart’s TV ministry began in 1975 and continues airing in the U.S. and internationally. The weekly Jimmy Swaggart Telecast and A Study in the Word programs are broadcast throughout the U.S. on 78 channels in 104 other countries and over the Internet.

Interpretation:

  • Shepherd leading the sheep:   Jimmy Swaggart was a Pastor. Pastors have one job. They’re not called to be cultural evangelists, entrepreneurs, or revolutionaries. They’re called to feed the flock of God faithfully. They’re called to be shepherds. The solemn duty of every pastor is to feed God’s sheep. And as a pastor, the day you let your eyes move beyond the people sitting in your church is when you’ve lost your purpose.
  • The root word is Ru – fortune abundance wealth: In 1985, Jimmy Swaggart’s ministry boasted 150 million in assets, including a DC3 jet once owned by the Rockefellers. Swaggarts also frequently used their condominium retreat on a private golf course about 15 miles from Palm Springs, California. Swaggart claimed the condominium was a gift, but state land records tell a different story. According to those records, the ministry bought the Condo for $280,000 in 1986.

Swaggart has never had trouble raising money. 

  • Kshiradyapani Shakti: To nourish and nurture. Jimmy Swaggart’s Venus in Revati is conjunct with the Sun in Purva Bhadrapada – IV.  Purva Bhadrapada is two faced. The 12H co-lord Ketu is posited in the 8H and is aspecting Venus in Revati in the 4H. Jimmy Swaggart’s misappropriated funds were gathered through emotional appeals in which pictures of emaciated African children were shown to garner the empathy of his Christian viewers. According to Jernigan, contributions were not going to the Children’s Fund but were being siphoned into the general account and used for building projects. Only pennies on the dollar were being spent feeding starving children.
  • Mysterious Protection Principle:  Swaggart’s empire began to unravel in 1987 when the national spotlight fell on his adulterous affairs with various prostitutes. As sufficient evidence of Swaggart’s numerous sexual liaisons surfaced, the Assemblies of God stripped him of his ministerial credentials. Swaggart has since reestablished himself as a minister. With his son Donnie, he maintains a smaller congregation at the Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge.

  1. Hugh Hefner:

(Hugh Hefner has an actual species of rabbit named after him – the Sylvilagus Palustris Hefneri. They’re an endangered species of marsh rabbit with a brown coat and small ears)

Helps and shows the right path: Bettie Page, one of Playboy’s Centerfold Models, retired into obscurity virtually penniless. Her photographers profited from her image, but she didn’t. She wasn’t even aware of her fame until much later. And when Hugh Hefner heard about how the industry had exploited one of his former centrefolds, he took care of it. He helped the aged Bettie sort out the legal issues necessary to copyright herself and retire in style. 

Background:  

Hugh Hefner has his 12 L of Bed Pleasures, Sun in the & 7H of business. Sun is also the AmK. The Sun is conjoint with Mercury(R), the 1L Self and the 10L of career. Mercury(R) is also the Nakshatra Lord of Revati.  The dispositor of the Sun and Mercury(R) is Jupiter in the 5H of entertainment.  Mars, the 8L of sex and secrets, and the 3L of effort are conjunct with Jupiter. Hugh Hefner is an American adult magazine publisher, businessman, and well-known playboy. Hefner is a native of Chicago, Illinois and a former journalist for Esquire. Hefner is also a World War II veteran. He is best known for being the founder and Chief Creative Officer of Playboy Enterprises. As the magazine’s increased success came to the attention of the mainstream public, Hefner was happy to portray himself as the charismatic icon and spokesperson for the sexual revolution of the ’60s (one who showed others the path in this industry)

Interpretation:

  • Pushyan is the Lord of the animals. The 12H Lord Sun is connected with Revati. The 12H represents large animals. Pushyan is the deity of animals. The Playboy Mansion is one of the only private homes with a zoo licence.
  • Revati is connected with conveyance: In 1970, Hefner owned a private jet worth $5.5 million. The Big Bunny, as it was called, was a modified 119-foot-long DC-9, equipped with a living room, disco, and sleeping quarters suitable for up to 16 people.
  • God of nourishment and animals: When Hefner was 11 years old he received an award from the Illinois Humane Society for his poem “Be Kind to Dumb Animals.”
  • Mysterious Protection Principle: Do you know what else he supposedly does in his free time? He watches movies. Lots of them. There’s a staircase virtually lined with VHS and DVDs in the Playboy Mansion. He doesn’t just watch pop culture. He promotes and preserves it. He set up a 2 million dollar professorship in film history at the University of Southern California and personally financed a documentary about the silver screen’s very first “it girl,” Clara Bow. The making of which indirectly led to the preservation of a vast chunk of film archives from the 1920s.
  • The result of Shakti, Basis, and Desire is to provide nourishment for the entire world: The first issue (of Playboy) quickly sold more than 50,000 copies and became an instant sensation. In the 1950s, America attempted to distance itself from nearly 30 years of war and economic depression. For many, the magazine proved to be a welcome antidote to the sexual repression of the era. For those who initially dismissed the magazine as a pornographic publication, Playboy soon broadened its circulation with thoughtful articles and an urbane presentation.
