Chart Analysis:
- Hugh Hefner:
Leading a good quality of material life is a theme of Uttara Phalguni. Hefner remade himself as Bon Viveur (the phrase Bon Viveur is a pseudo-French phrase adopted in English in the mid-19th century, modelled on the French Bon Vivant “one who lives well”, i.e. referring to a person who enjoys the good things of life. The phrase is not derogatory but conveys a sense of overindulgence) and man about town, a lifestyle he promoted in his magazine and two TV shows he hosted, Playboy’s Penthouse (1959–1960) and Playboy After Dark (1969–1970)
Background:
Hugh Hefner has his Bhrigu Bindu in the 2H. The Lord of the 2H is Venus (the Karaka for beauty) and Venus is posited in the 6H of pets with Moon (11L) conjoint with it. This shows an income and gains from pets – the bunnies of Playboy!
Interpretation:
- Rigid and Fixed: Hefner would be padding around in his pyjamas all day, eating all his meals in bed, watching the same classic films with the same old cronies night after night, going to the same bars – Las Palmas on Wednesdays, Barfly on Fridays – the only variation in the routine was restaurant night on Thursdays when the Girlfriends were allowed to choose where they went. But even so, Hefner always took his own food, the same lamb chops.
- Arjunis the two silver ones: The theme of dual of the Phalgunis. In 1971 Hugh Hefner acknowledged that he experimented in bisexuality
- To be the lord of animals: The Playboy Mansion is one of the only private residences in America with a Zoo licence. The mansion had 3 types of monkeys, 9 dogs, 3 cats, over 100 species of birds. And, of course, many bunnies!
- The fire element: The Playboy Mansion is the only residence in Los Angeles that has a “Pyrotechnic License” that enables the place to set off fireworks.
Every year on the 4th of July there is a giant fireworks show at the mansion that can be seen for miles around!
- Fights for righteousness: The NAACP (National Association of Advancement for Coloured People) gave Hugh Hefner an award for the documentary film, “Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist, and Rebel.” Hef’s Playboy TV shows and Playboy Clubs helped to break down the race barriers for legendary black performers in the 1950s and 1960s, including Sammy Davis Jr., and Dizzy Gillespie.
- Arayaman: Was he an Arayaman to his girlfriends (not to be confused with bunnies)? Being a Hefner Girlfriend (there were 7-10 at any point) was a specialised job, not to be confused with being a Playboy Playmate. In fact, Girlfriends were not allowed to become Playmates. Girlfriends were given their own bedroom, an allowance of $1,000 a week in cash, a new car, free dental and medical treatment, almost limitless clothes, hairdos, make-up and facials and all the cosmetic surgery they could wish for. It was a very generous deal in many ways, but it did have its drawbacks. First, there was a strict curfew, so unless you were out with Hef, you had to be back in the hutch by 9pm.
- Pairs young boys and girls: Well, he certainly played the part of pairing young girls with his own youthful 75 years self! Possibly because the Lord of the Lagna is in the 7H.

- Sir Sean Connery:
Effort against odds: Sir Sean Connery’s father was a factory worker and a lorry driver. His mother was a cleaning woman. Connery’s first job was as a milkman in Edinburgh. After he was discharged from the Navy he worked as, among other things, a lorry driver, a lifeguard at Portobello swimming baths, a labourer, an artist’s model for the Edinburgh College of Art, and a coffin polisher. The modelling earned him 15 shillings an hour. From his position to – James Bond, as portrayed by Connery, being selected as the third-greatest hero in cinema history by the American Film Institute and being knighted by the Queen
Background:
Sir Sean Connery has the Bhrigu Bindu in the 6H of fighting in war. The 4L of recognition (Mars) which is also the 11H of gains is in the 6H of war. Jupiter the Lord of 3H of effort in the 6H gives interest in police and security work. Jupiter is also in its Pushkaramsa. Oh boy! Was Sir Sean Connery, James Bond ever interested in security work!
Interpretation:
- Body Part – Lips:
Ann E. Wales (possibly a fan) is quoted on Pinterest with this image. “Sean Connery: it’s those Lips you know. Any age, there they are, waiting.”
- Warrior Class/Protects: Sean Connery has been awarded the rank of Shodan (1st dan) in Kyokushin karate. Connery was (once) targeted by the notorious Valdor gang, one of the most ruthless gangs. He was first approached by them in a billiard hall on Lothian Street where he prevented them from stealing from his jacket and was later followed by six gang members to a 15 ft high balcony at the Palais. There Connery launched an attack single-handedly against the gang members, grabbing one by the throat and another by a biceps and cracked their heads together. From then on he was treated with great respect by the gang and gained a reputation as a “hard man”.
- Amavasyu: Sean Connery shared a mutual attraction with black jazz singer Maxine Daniels, whom he met at the Empire Theatre. He made a pass at her, but when she informed him that she was already happily married with a baby daughter he backed off
- Fights for rights: He is a member of Scottish National Party campaigning for independence of Scotland. He supported the party financially until the UK Parliament passed legislation prohibiting overseas funding of political activities in 2001.
- Aura and Royal Authority: Connery has worked hard throughout his career and taken professional risks with his roles. For these efforts, he has become a greatly respected actor, almost a legend in the screen world. Patrick commented that “You suddenly realize [Connery is] the closest thing we now have to Clark Gable, an old-time movie star. Everyone knows him and likes him. It’s shocking-every age group, men and women. There’s something very likable about him on screen.”
- Mathematician: Sean Connery attended Toll cross Elementary School and amazed his teachers with a lightning-quick mathematical aptitude.
- Arayaman: When Connery was 8 years old, his parents had a second child: Neil. Young Tom (Connery) delighted in the role of big brother and, as they grew up, the Connery boys were inseparable.
- Superiority Complex: His acting career now cemented, Connery decided it was time to settle his personal affairs as well. Connery thrived on the attention and adoration: “Now, I can kill any s.o.b. in the world and get away with it,” he bragged to The Saturday Evening Post. “I eat and drink nothing but the very best, and I also get the loveliest ladies in the world.” But Connery had a tendency to go too far in interviews. For example, he told a London newspaper his opinion on hitting women: “An open-handed slap is justified. So is putting your hand over her mouth.” He later told Playboy, “I don’t think there’s anything particularly wrong about hitting a woman … if all other alternatives fail and there’s plenty of warning.”
- Gives back to society as a means of recognition: He donated a large portion of his earnings to the Scottish International Education Trust to help students from poor backgrounds like his own. But his critics wondered if he was motivated by generosity or politics

- Michael Douglas :
Catherine, meanwhile, saw her career fortunes prosper after her marriage with Michael Douglas. She won an Oscar for Chicago, which she collected when heavily pregnant with their daughter Carys, who will be four later this month. (Evening Standard, April, 2007)
Background:
Michael Douglas has Saturn in its Pushkara Bhaga of 18 degrees (17 degrees 01’). Saturn is in the 8th house of transformation. The dispositor of Saturn is Mercury which is the lord of the 8H and the 11H posited in the 10H of profession along with Jupiter the 5L of entertainment and speculation. Michael Douglas lost a lot in his investments in shares (he invested £170m last year (2000) in a biotech firm whose shares plummeted shortly after the investment. He is seen as one of thousands of victims of the current technology slump) while he gained in the area of entertainment.
Interpretation:
- Fights for Rights: Michael Douglas is an advocate of nuclear disarmament, a supporter of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, sits on the board of the Nuclear Threat Initiative, and is an honorary Board Member of the anti-war grant-making foundation Ploughshares Fund. In 1998, he was appointed UN Messenger of Peace by Secretary-General Kofi Annan. He has been a major supporter of gun control since John Lennon was murdered in 1980. In 2006, he was a featured speaker in a public service campaign sponsored by a UN conference to focus attention on trade of illicit arms, especially of small arms and light weapons. Douglas made several appearances and offered his opinions:
- Kindness/Chivalry/Compassion: In 2009 Douglas joined the project Soldiers of Peace, a movie against all wars and for global peace. Douglas lent his support for the campaign to release Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, the Iranian woman, who after having been convicted of committing adultery, was given a sentence of death by stoning.
- Phalgunis/Phalguna/Arjunis (dual) +Arayaman: “I think I’m a chameleon. I think it’s something that I possibly inherited early on as a child going back and forth between two families. I know that whether it’s right or wrong, I have an ability to sort of fit into a lot of different situations and make people feel relatively comfortable in a wide range without giving up all my moral values. I think that same chameleon like quality can transfer into films. I think if you can remember the reason you got involved with it in the first place and try to keep that impulsive, instinctive feeling even when you’re being beaten down or exhausted or waylaid, you’ll be successful.”
- Short Break (to rejuvenate – borrowed from Purva Phalguni) They’ve made no secret that they’ve had to work at their marriage, even taking a few months break in 2013 (separated without divorcing and then regrouped)
- Arayaman is a friend: In 2004, Michael Douglas helped Richard Gephardt in his candidacy for president through endorsement. Although he didn’t win, it was still very nice of him to do so.
- Gives back to society as a means of recognition: Guests at Douglas’ wedding to Catherine Zeta Jones were asked to donate money to a charity which will one day be run by their baby son, Dylan, rather than give presents. The proceeds from the wedding photos, sold to OK! Magazine, also went to the Dylan Douglas Foundation.( Many celebrities set up charities which can be offset against tax bills or used to set up a tax-free inheritance).
