Jawahar Lal Nehru

As we know Jawahar Lal Nehru was the first prime minister of India. He was a brilliant, charismatic and introspective man with a complex character. Nehru's vast popularity, strong will, energy and pride allowed him to be a benevolent despot once he was in power. 

He had Cancer rising at 23^O10’34”. The Moon was in Cancer at 17^O53’10” in the first charan of Aslesha constellation.

A person born in Cancer is sensitive, nervous, and restless. Such a person is bright and intelligent. He is self reliant and unbending. He would support justice and fair play.

Nehru had the Moon in his ascendant. It made him an idealist and successful with the masses. Sociability was his strong characteristics. It made him elegant and of charming personality.

His Moon was in the first charan of Aslesha. The Moon in this constellation is generally not good except when it is in its first charan. Such placement of the Moon gives respect in society, high intellectual calibre and wealth.

The ascendant is strong as its owner is in the sign. The Moon is also strong being in the middle of its own sign.

This gave him exceptional strength of character and self confidence. A strong ascendant is the first prerequisite for an individual to reap good effects of other good yogas (planetary combinations) in the chart.

Nehru had Ketu in the sixth house from his Moon. This is a combination for ruling powers and high status.

The Moon in the twelfth house from Saturn caused many changes in his life. A strong Cancer which is ninth from natal Sun indicates a powerful and prosperous father.

The high status he enjoyed in his profession is seen from the house Saturn occupies from the natal Sun. This was destined as seen from the position of Saturn from his natal Jupiter.

His married life was short and mostly unhappy as is seen from placement of Mars in an inimical sign in the third house.

Mars owns the fifth house. It occupies the third in an inimical sign. The Sun occupies the fifth. This is a combination for a feeling of inadequacy and unhappiness relating to children.

His fourth and tenth houses are strong showing comfortable life, many vehicles, good education, happiness from mother and a successful career.

The aspect of Saturn on Venus indicates inadequacy in marital happiness. Saturn owns the seventh house and occupies an inimical second house. Venus under aspect of Rahu shows some waywardness in sexual matters.

Mars in a sign of Mercury points to acts of authoring.

Rahu in the twelfth house could cause incarceration which happened to him in his life.

Death came when Saturn came to Satbhishaka constellation of Rahu in Aquarius which is his eighth house. Even a thousand healers could not save him.
