Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Dear Neena and Rui, Tibet/China fall within the same time zone. Of course the Dalai Lama's birthplace was (at that time) Tibet and, according to my time changes book, Chosen adopted standard time meridian 135E00 Mar 1 1932. All other provinces adopted STM 120E00 on the same date. 120E00 = 8.00. (135E00 = 9.00). The Tibetan name for his place of birth was Taktser. Now under Chinese rule it's called Tengster Village. However, regardless of the name change, the place is still the same, same long & lat. http://www.astrodatabank.com/NM/DalaiLama.htm Regardless of any software irregularities (PL gives Taurus 29°51'04"), I'm confident that he has Taurus lagna. It could be that the time is a little before 04:38 (sunrise) as it's reported that he was born just BEFORE sunrise...how much before, who knows? But dasas would probably cement it. Facts supported by this chart: *The Dalai Lama was forced into exile due to Chinese occupation of Tibet. He was, until then, both the spiritual and political leader of Tibet. *YogaKaraka Saturn, lord of 9th/10th occupying moolatrikona sign in 10th is a sure testament of his leadership. *8th house, as we know, shows our enemies...enemies in battle as opposed to 6th house competitors/rivals/vices etc.. There can be no doubt of the significance of 8th lord's aspect on Saturn and the effect it had on his position as (all-over) leader of the Tibetan people. *1st/6th lord Venus conjunct 3rd lord Moon in 4th shows the great affection/attachment he has to his homeland. He works tirelessly to bring a resolution to the situation and none could doubt his motives and the initiative that drives him towards this goal. *4th lord Sun conjunct Ketu and aspected by 8th lord speaks again of the separation/exile from his homeland....etc, etc.. I'll leave it here for now and let others offer their thoughts on this chart :-) Best Wishes, Mrs. Wendy http://JyotishVidya.com ______________________________ - "neenako" <neenako <jyotish-vidya> Thursday, March 16, 2006 5:57 PM Re: Dalai Lama's lagna - Gemini? - Have checked the sites mentioned by you and they are giving Geminin ascendant .

Hi Neena, there's scope for confusion there. In 1935 the timezone for Xining, a nearby town, was GMT+7, according to GJ. The communists later changed the whole of China from the original 5 time zones to one zone of GMT+8. Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zones_of_China) implies this change was made after 1949, but GJ seems to count it from 1980. DST is never used in China, so at least that part is simple. Anyway, assuming zone GMT+7 and DST 0, I get an ascendant of 14d Gemini. Barney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 PS: Just one last observation in support of this chart. We know that Tibetan Buddhism is tantric by nature - Note Jupiter's dispositorship of Rahu (in 8th) and consider again (this) Jupiter's aspect on 9th/10th lord. ___________________________ Dear Neena and Rui, Tibet/China fall within the same time zone. Of course the Dalai Lama's birthplace was (at that time) Tibet and, according to my time changes book, Chosen adopted standard time meridian 135E00 Mar 1 1932.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 -- Barney, This is getting confusing. Another site gives the time zone as 5-30 according to which the lagna turns out to be Cancer. But I don't think this one can be right as India's time zone is 5- 30 . Taktser is a small village so not on the map. As Wendy has written the whole of Tibet is now in the China time zone. Lhasa, the capital of erstwhile Tibet, is also in time zone 8-00. What does astrodata.com say on this ? if they are taking 7.00 as the zone then the ascendant is Gemini. May be it needs searching a liitle more!!

I would tend to treat the birth time as unreliable anyway. He was the fifth child in a (probably poor) farming family, so it's unlikely they kept good records. If they did keep records it's likely the clocks were not accurate or synchronised to any standard. Even clocks in the west were not standardised until towns were linked by railways which had to run to timetables. Before that every town had it's own timezone, typically set by a sundial at midday. I think the accuracy of this birth time should be doubted until it has been *rigorously* rectified. And if you treat the birth time as unknown, you can use any zone you want :-) Just my opinion Barney > > > - In jyotish-vidya, "barney3728080" > <barney3728080@> wrote: > > > > "neenako" <neenako@> wrote: > > > Have checked the sites mentioned by you and they are giving > Geminin > > > ascendant . > > > I think the difference is in the time zones. > > > > > > Is it possible to check the time zone in which the p.o.b falls? > > > That should help us decide the lagna for sure. > > > > Hi Neena, there's scope for confusion there. > > > > In 1935 the timezone for Xining, a nearby town, was GMT+7, > according > > to GJ.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 -- Kozmikhoroscopes.com/dalai.htm gives the t.o.b as 23.00 hrs Yes the chances are that no one recorded the time in village in the year 1935.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Dear Barney, //Yes, it could get confusing. I would tend to treat the birth time as unreliable anyway. He was the fifth child in a (probably poor) farming family, so it's unlikely they kept good records.// Astrology plays an important role in Tibetan Buddhism. I'm sure that families were meticulous in noting the time of birth (by whatever means at their disposal). Each village (or province) had its resident Lama who was called upon to set the date for important events such as marriage, funeral etc.. Astrology was very much a part of Tibetan day-to-day life. If the Dalai Lama's Mother is quoted as saying he was born before sunrise, I think it should be given due credence... However, let the chart speak for itself! >From Astrodatabank: "Sally Thibodeau quotes Dalai Lama, My Son, which is the story of his mother told to her granddaughter. On p.89 his mother is quoted as saying he "was born early in the morning, before sunrise." (LMR calculates sunrise at that date and location as 4:38 AM.)"

Look at all possibilities and see what the chart tells you! An exercise I used to do (before I had any astrology software) was to draw 12 charts (for each lagna) then by simple deduction I would come to the right chart. Knowing the life of a native, most possibilities can be eliminated straight off...then you just keep working on the others until there's no doubt in your mind which is the right chart. ______________________________ - "Wendy Vasicek" <jyotish <jyotish-vidya> Thursday, March 16, 2006 9:55 PM Re: Re: Dalai Lama's lagna - Gemini?

Dear Barney, //Yes, it could get confusing. I would tend to treat the birth time as unreliable anyway. He was the fifth child in a (probably poor) farming family, so it's unlikely they kept good records.// Astrology plays an important role in Tibetan Buddhism. I'm sure that families were meticulous in noting the time of birth (by whatever means at their disposal). Each village (or province) had its resident Lama who was called upon to set the date for important events such as marriage, funeral etc.. Astrology was very much a part of Tibetan day-to-day life. If the Dalai Lama's Mother is quoted as saying he was born before sunrise, I think it should be given due credence... However, let the chart speak for itself! >From Astrodatabank: "Sally Thibodeau quotes Dalai Lama, My Son, which is the story of his mother told to her granddaughter. On p.89 his mother is quoted as saying he "was born early in the morning, before sunrise." (LMR calculates sunrise at that date and location as 4:38 AM.)"

Well said Wendy. That's just the sort of approach I was thinking of when I suggested rigorous rectification. I would want to correlate a few events with dashas too. Of course being inclined to spend the time needed on such a (purely academic) exercise is another matter... Barney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Namaste Thanks to the links provided by Rui, I was able to take a quick look at the chart. To me it looks like there are just as many supporting factors for the Gemini ascendant. From the Mercury, Sun, and Ketu in lagna one can get a sense of the leadership & communication/teaching in the spiritual field right off the bat. The aspect of Jupiter from 5th supports this further. Compare that with the Taurus lagna which has no planets & no aspect. This I think is a significant difference between the 2 lagnas. Plus if you look at the 5th house of disciples with Gemini acendant Jupiter is there which would indicate abundance, while with Taurus lagna you have malefic 12th/7th lord Mars there w/o any aspect which would indicate dearth. Also consider the 5th house indication of blessings from previous life. The trouble to homeland can be seen using the Gemini ascendant as the natural & functional malefic (11th & 6th lord) Mars is stationed in the 4th house of home w/o any other aspect which indicates many difficulties and obstacles, violence associated with home. While most consider him to be the rightful leader of his country & people (10th lord Jupiter in 5th), the forceful obstruction to his actual political leadership of his country can be seen by the Mars aspect on 10th. The large importance of the troubled homeland to this life can be seen by 4th lord Mercury in the ascendant. Plus the spiritual/leadership qualities are still there for the Gemini ascendant: 9th lord Saturn in 9th aspected by 10th lord Jupiter from 5th. At the heart of his sprititual tradition is compassion & mindfulness with unattachement -- this may be indicated by the mutual aspect between the Moon/Venus conjuction and 9th lord Saturn which is there for either the Gemini acendant (9th lord Saturn in 9th house) or Taurus Ascendant (9th lord Saturn in 10th).

With Gemini ascendant this is much the same as 4th lord Mercury is conjunct Ketu. Further the importance/prominance of this in his life is seen as it occurs in the lagna.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 While both ascendants have supporting factors and I am inclined to think that the time zone of 8.00 may not be accurate, the basic facts are that Dalai Lama is the worlds most famous exile and a Nobel prize winner. Which of the two ascendants do you think supports these facts? jyotish-vidya, "Sean Patrick Kelly" <toosean wrote: > > Namaste > > Thanks to the links provided by Rui, I was able to take a quick look > at the chart. > > To me it looks like there are just as many supporting factors for the > Gemini ascendant.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hello Sean, Interrupting my 'time off' to respond to your comments if I may :-) I ask you to consider Rahu in 7th house of marriage whilst 7th house is aspected by Mars? Rahu compels us towards the affairs of the house he occupies (Gemini). Or... Renuncient Saturn aspecting both Venus and 7th (Taurus). //If possible it would be interesting to take a look at the chart for the previous incarnation of the Dalai Lama.// Pre-Natal Abode: Stronger of the luminaries occupying decanate of Jupiter etc... http://jyotishvidya.com/ch44.htm Ascent after death: Planets in 12th, 7th, 6th or 8th (in that order) indicate the abode after death. If no planet in 12th then look to 7th; no planet in 7th look to 6th etc... Taurus lagna gives Jupiter in 6th indicating heavenly abode. Gemini gives Rahu in 7th??? Moksha (Taurus): 4th (moksha) lord Sun, conjunct MokshaKaraka Ketu, aspecting 8th (moksha house). 8th (moksha) lord Jupiter aspecting both 12th (moksha house) and moksha lord Sun. 12th (moksha) lord Mars aspecting both 8th and 12th moksha houses. //To me it looks like there are just as many supporting factors for the Gemini ascendant. From the Mercury, Sun, and Ketu in lagna one can get a sense of the leadership & communication/teaching in the spiritual field right off the bat. The aspect of Jupiter from 5th supports this further. Compare that with the Taurus lagna which has no planets & no aspect. This I think is a significant difference between the 2 lagnas.// Gemini: Inimical 3rd lord Sun, conjunct lagna lord in lagna...what does this tell you about the Ego??? Such an ego may well aspire to a position of authority. However, the Dalai Lama never fails to impress upon people his strong conviction that he (at the core of his being) is "just a simple monk". Might I remind members of Fraser's chart with SU/ME in 1st house. Sun in lagna speaks of issues regarding ego - no doubt! This position can indicate a strong ego/strong sense of self-importance or (if weak/afflicted) can indicate problems related to self-esteem etc.. Taurus: Ascendant lord Venus, in nakshatra of Ketu, conjunct Moon in 4th (moksha house). His whole life has been spent in the pursuit of moksha...from a small child this has been the only life he's known. Look again at Sun conjunct Ketu. This moksha lord Sun, dispositor of lagna lord, conjuncts lagna lord's star lord...can you see the compatible nature of this Sun and Ketu (both with the same intent - moksha), as opposed to the inherent conflict between MokshaKaraka Ketu and 3rd lord Sun in lagna? 2nd house governs education and educators (oral expression of knowledge and so forth). Consider 5th lord(mantras) conjunct such moksha indicators (SU/KE) in 2nd house...and aspected by moksha lord Jupiter. //Plus if you look at the 5th house of disciples with Gemini acendant Jupiter is there which would indicate abundance, while with Taurus lagna you have malefic 12th/7th lord Mars there w/o any aspect which would indicate dearth. Also consider the 5th house indication of blessings from previous life.// No! Jupiter in 5th is not such a favourable placement for children...can in fact deny children (unless there are favourable aspects). Children BTW means all children including disciples, students etc.. Consider moolatrikona as the stronger influence (always). 7th lord in 5th (gemini). Or... 12th lord in 5th (taurus). Because of his exile, Buddhism has spread all around the globe...followers/disciples from many countries. Many of these followers are also dedicated teachers - 5th lord in 2nd. Another important point regarding gemini is 10th lord Jupiter's position in 8th from 10th. This can indicate changes in career/status (fall from position). In spite of the occupation of his homeland and subsequent exile, he always has been and always will be the Dalai Lama...no fall from position is possible. Although we can certainly see the influence of invading army (aspect of 8th lord Jupiter for Taurus), his position as Dalai Lama is fixed solidly with 10th lord Saturn in 10th. Compare this with Saddam Hussein's chart with Saturn in 10th conjunct 5th lord Venus. He rose to great heights during Venus dasa but his fall from position has been just as dramatic. Providing the time is correct Hussein was running MA-RA-RA dasa at time of US invasion (Mar 20 2003). Transit Mars was aspecting 10th. Rahu & Saturn were transiting 12th in sign of Venus, whilst Venus was transiting 8th in sign of Saturn etc..

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Namaste Please see added comments -- this is a good discussion jyotish-vidya, "Wendy Vasicek" <jyotish wrote: > > Hello Sean, > > Interrupting my 'time off' to respond to your comments if I may :-) > > I ask you to consider Rahu in 7th house of marriage whilst 7thhouse > is aspected by Mars? Rahu compels us towards the affairs of the house he occupies (Gemini). Or... Renuncient Saturn aspecting both Venus and 7th (Taurus). > Well, Renuciate Saturn aspects Venus no matter what the lagna. Sure with Gemini lagna Rahu is in 7th, but that comes with Ketu in the lagna. Ketu indicates renunciation & being in the lagna, taken with the other features of the chart, can certainly indicate the renunciate lifestyle. Also, Rahu in 7th does not have to be taken as compelling one towards marriage. It can be taken as compelling one to parterships in general, according to the other characteristics of the chart. The Dalai Lama has certainly had made a lot of partnerships, joining together with other very famous & foreign people from many different backgrounds and religions (significations of Rahu), but all for good causes (7th lord is Jupiter). So, to me this can be seen as a support for Gemini Lagna as well. > //If possible it would be interesting to take a look at the chart for > the previous incarnation of the Dalai Lama.// > > Pre-Natal Abode: > Stronger of the luminaries occupying decanate of Jupiter etc... > http://jyotishvidya.com/ch44.htm > > Ascent after death: > Planets in 12th, 7th, 6th or 8th (in that order) indicate the abode > after death.

I'm not sure what all this is getting at -- I was really just expressing curiosity about the previous Dalai Lama's chart. I'm not sure if the birth data is available.

There is a huge difference between the two charts. In the Dalai Lama's chart the other qualities of the Sun -- like charisma and generosity really stand out. The Dalai Lama definitely has a "sunny" disposition. In fact before looking at any chart for him, I thought for sure he'd either have Leo rising or else have the Sun in the ascendant. Just look at him & his persona. This Sun disposits the beautiful Moon/Venus conjuction and receives the aspect of Jupiter. > > Taurus: > Ascendant lord Venus, in nakshatra of Ketu, conjunct Moon in 4th > (moksha house).

Why is there an inherent conflict between 3rd lord Sun and Moksha Karaka in the lagna? It make sense to me -- his sprirituality is at the forefront of his life (Ketu in lagna) and is very public under the full light of the Sun. And his motives & initiatives are completely related to his spirituality. Also it can be interpretted like Ketu tames/eclipses the ego (Sun), while the Sun makes visible what would otherwise be a private/secluded spiritual practice (Ketu). > > 2nd house governs education and educators (oral expression of > knowledge and so forth). Consider 5th lord(mantras) conjunct such > moksha indicators (SU/KE) in 2nd house...and aspected by moksha lord > Jupiter. For Gemini lagna, consider: Lagnesh Me, as natural significator of oral communication and as 4th lord (Moksha), in own house, in lagna aspected by Jupiter from 5th and conjuct Moksha karaka Ketu . While 2nd lord Moon is conjuct 5th (mantras)/12th (moksha) lord Venus in mutual aspect with 9th lord Saturn who is also 8th (Moksha) lord. > > //Plus if you look at the 5th house of disciples with Gemini acendant > Jupiter is there which would indicate abundance, while with Taurus > lagna you have malefic 12th/7th lord Mars there w/o any aspect which > would indicate dearth.

It seems Jupiter in the 5th would indicate an abundance of disciples if not children, also 5th lord Venus conjunct Moon seems support this. While, for Taurus, 12th lord Mars in the 5th would indicate a lack/loss of children/disciples, Mars being unaspected would be a completely malefic influence on the fifth house. > > Consider moolatrikona as the stronger influence (always). 7th lord in > 5th (gemini).

There is definitely a some similarity between the two cases: in Saddam's case it was the USA who dislodged him from his political office & occupied his country; for the Dalai Lama it was the Chinese who did the same. And it is the Dalai Lama's position as spiritual head (9th lord in 9th) that has remained fixed; his political office (10th) has not remained fixed & rather has been forcibly taken from him (apect of Mars on 10th). So, actually, I can see this as further support for the Gemini lagna... around and round we go Thank you for this great discussion & for interrupting your break, I have also thrown myself fully into this discussion as evidenced by this 1:46 AM (local time) post.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Shaun, //??? I'm not sure what all this is getting at -- I was really just expressing curiosity about the previous Dalai Lama's chart. I'm not sure if the birth data is available. The Dalai Lamas are all considered to be the same leader reincarnating again and again.// The 13th Dalai Lama (Thubten Gyatso) was born Feb 12 1876. Died Dec 17 1933. It might be an interesting exercise to look at his chart also. No T.O.B. is available. But this can be more practice in rectification //Well, Renuciate Saturn aspects Venus no matter what the lagna.// Saturn aspecting Venus(spouse), 7th(married life) and 12th(pleasures of the bed) speaks strongly of celibacy... Saturns nakshatra lord Rahu occupies 8th whilst his dispositor (Jupiter) occupies 12th from 7th. Denial of marriage/married life is clear in this chart. //Sure with Gemini lagna Rahu is in 7th, but that comes with Ketu in the lagna.// So? I too have Ketu in lagna (lagna aspected by 12th lord Jupiter) giving a strong leaning towards moksha. However married four times with Rahu in 7th. //Ketu indicates renunciation & being in the lagna, taken with the other features of the chart, can certainly indicate the renunciate lifestyle.// Certainly Mercury owning 4th increases the tendancy towards moksha. However, conjunct malefic Sun (etc)...think about it! //Also, Rahu in 7th does not have to be taken as compelling one towards marriage.// Rahu in 7th with his dispositor in 5th (in sign of Venus)...C'mon Sean! For me too Rahu's dispositor occupies sign of Venus. //In the Dalai Lama's chart the other qualities of the Sun -- like charisma and generosity really stand out. The Dalai Lama definitely has a "sunny" disposition. In fact before looking at any chart for him, I thought for sure he'd either have Leo rising or else have the Sun in the ascendant. Just look at him & his persona. This Sun disposits the beautiful Moon/Venus conjuction and receives the aspect of Jupiter.// Sun, owning 3rd (trishadaya) is a functional malefic for this chart Shean. Conjunct lagna lord is detrimental to the health of the native. Jupiter, owning 7th/10th, is also malefic to this Ascendant. Apart from the normal colds/viruses and such that afflict all of us from time to time, the Dalai Lama enjoys good health. Believe me when I tell you Ketu in lagna is not good for one's general health and well-being - add to that the influence of trishadaya lord Sun... //Really, I'm not familiar with this principle? It seems Jupiter in the 5th would indicate an abundance of disciples if not children, also 5th lord Venus conjunct Moon seems support this.// Well it's understandable that you're not familiar with the dictum that the karaka can harm his own house - you've only been studying a short while:-) The rule is that a planet placed in the house for which it is the natural karaka can harm the significations of that house i.e. Jupiter in 5th harms children, Mars in 3rd harms siblings and so forth... //Well, to me the occupation of his homeland and his subsequent exile CAN certainly be seen as a "fall from position" as he is no longer the official political leader of his country.// He is and always will be the Dalai Lama...no other occupation, no loss of that position is ever likely to happen. The invasion of his country and subsequent exile from his homeland are clearly seen with Taurus lagna. //Thank you for this great discussion & for interrupting your break, I have also thrown myself fully into this discussion as evidenced by this 1:46 AM (local time) post. I'll be paying for it later today. :)// The discrepancy between softwares (regarding time zone) and the doubt as to how much before sunrise he was born aside, I'm fairly confident that he has Taurus lagna.
