Chart of Pope Benedict XVI

April 19, 2005

Namaste friends,

> I see no-one has commented on the appointment today of the new

pope.

My best wishes to our catholic friends on this auspicious occasion of Pope

Benedit XVI's Urbi et Orbi blessing!

The time at which he seems to have accepted his election is:

2005 April 19

17:50 (TZ: 2:00 east)

Vatican, Italy (41n54, 12e2)

Moon: 9Le18, Asc: 12Vi11

Lagna has Jupiter and Ketu in it. This is auspicious for spreading the genuine

knowledge of some parampara (tradition/lineage).

The five panchanga elements correspond to five elements. Vaara (weekday)

corresponds to agni tattva (fire). Thus, vaara bala (weekday strength) is

important for longevity. Weekday lord is Mars. He is the exalted 8th lord. It

does not suggest that this papacy will last long.

More importantly, there is chara karaka parivartana!!! Mars at 27Cp45 is AK

(chara atma karaka) and 27Ge12 is the AmK (chara amatya karaka). Though Mars is

the AK at the beginning, he will be replaced by Saturn in due course. Such a

replacement of chara karakas, especially involving AK, is considered very

inauspicious. It shows a change of guard in a short time.

So I am afraid that this papacy will be quite short-lived.

Now let us look at the chart of Pope himself. According to the Holy See website,

The Holy Father was born on 1927 April 16 in Marktl, Germany. In a radio program

I heard this evening, a Floridan theologian who was Holy Father's student said

he was born in the morning on the Holy Saturday in 1927 and was baptised on the

Easter morning. I saw that Aries and Taurus can be the rising signs and feel

that Aries must be correct. I feel that lagna should be Ge in navamsa and

dasamsa, Le in vimsamsa and Ta in shashtyamsa. The birthdata I am taking is:

1927 April 166:33:40 am ( TZ: 2:00)Marktl, Germany (12e5, 48n15)

Aries rises with exalted Sun in it. This makes him a strong, authoritative and

enterprising person. That Sun is in Brahmalokamsa (occupies

own/exaltation/moolatrikona sign in 8 out of 10 vargas). Whether one agress

with his views and teachings or not, he is undoubtedly a man of great intellect

and character (assuming the chart is correct). A planet in Brahmalokamsa in a

quadrant shows a person of the stature of maharshis.

Navamsa has Jupiter and Ketu in lagna, showing. Pope John Paul II had kartari of

Jupiter and Ketu on lagna in navamsa. Pope Benedict XVI has Jupiter and Ketu in

lagna in navamsa. This shows that his dharma (navamsa) involves spreading

traditional religious knowledge (Jupiter) coming in a lineage (Ketu).

In dasamsa, Gemini rises. The 10th lord Jupiter is in a dasamsa ruled by Ananta

(shows spiritual rise) and the 10th house has exalted 5th/12th lord Venus, who

is in a dasamsa ruled by Isaana. Isaana is an auspicioud form Shiva and planets

in Isaana's dasamsa show religious professions. You can see planets in Isaana's

dasamsa involved with lagna or 10th house in dasamsa in the chart of Pope John

Paul II and several Shankaracharyas too!

The 5th lord Venus in Isaana's dasamsa in 10th house shows a passionate (rajasik

- Venus) priest and religious preacher (Isaana). Lagna and 4 planets in a

dasamsa ruled by Yama show a disciplinarian. Yama [Dharmaraja] is the keeper of

dharma in Hinduism. Planets in Yama's dasamsa show discipline and impassionate

and unemotional adherence of dharma. He is a disciplinarian and an impassionate

keeper of dharma.

In dwadasamsa (D-12), Ge rises. The 9th house is Aq and should be taken as lagna

to see father. The 10th from Aq is Sc. It is empty and Mars owns it. His father

was a police officer.

As he has Sun in lagna, Shashtihayani dasa applies. During Saturn-Mars

antardasa, he was called was called into the auxiliary anti-aircraft service in

Germany. In D-10 (chart of profession), Saturn and Mars (two malefics) are in

6th and 3rd houses. Especially, Mars is the 6th lord in 3rd with Rahu in Yama's

dasamsa. Such a Mars can show work in the military. Thus, Mars antardasa made

him a military man.

During 1946-1951, he studied philosophy and theology. This corresponds to Rahu's

shashtihayani dasa (1946-1952). In D-24 (chart of education), the 4th house

shows basic education, 9th house (6th from 4th) shows specialized education

such as bachelor's degree and the 2nd house (6th from 9th) shows focussed study

such as masters. Rahu is the 2nd lord in 2nd and shows master's degree in some

Aquarian subjects (such as philosophy). No wonder it happened in Rahu dasa.

Next dasa was that of Jupiter. Jupiter is the 12th lord in D-24 and shows giving

knowledge. He is the 10th lord in D-10 and occupies 6th. Thus, he shows teaching

profession. He was teaching fundamental theology for most of Jupiter dasa.

In the next dasa of Sun, he became well-known thru various publications and

papers. Sun is the exalted 3rd lord in D-10 and shows writing.

In March 1977, he was elected as the Archbishop of Munich and Freising. In June

1977, he was proclaimed Cardinal by Pope Paul VI. Both were during Mars-Venus

antardasa. Mars is in GL (ghatika lagna) in D-10. He is also in A5. While the

5th house shows the intangible abilities, its arudha pada shows a tangible

expression/manifestation of abilities. Venus is the exalted 5th lord. Mars is

in A5 and Venus is the 5th lord. So he had several achievements and

recognitions during this antardasa!!

Interestingly, it is now Mars antardasa in Venus mahadasa! Mars-Venus made him a

cardinal. Venus-Mars made him a pope! He became a teacher in Jupiter mahadasa

and he became a Dean of the college of cardinals in Jupiter antardasa in Venus

mahadasa.

I am reasonably comfortable with the speculative birthdata I presented in this

article and shashtihayani dasa seems to work brilliantly in this case.

May Jupiter's light shine on

Yes, in fact soneone has commented on the election of the new Pope.

Humbly, I put forth my own personal opinion.

Pleases see follwoing.

Uttara

p.s. thank you for your recognition, perfect analysis and salutations.

Written 4/19/2005

Dear Rui,

Recognizing that I have not brought up the new Pope's chart for intercite

analysis, I would like to put forth my "intuitive" assessment.

Joseph Radzinger was not my first choice. However, saying that does not mean

that I am not pleased. In fact, I am very pleased, and this is why.

If one were to analyze the point of being. Then the basis of the Faith of the

Catholic Church must be taken in to recognition for the whole. Saying that

too, means that The Church is a formidable presence whether one agrees with it

or not.

I am personally pleased that this man was selected as Pope. His conservative

views will bring world wide speculation and discourse of all of us as one. If

at this time a Liberal or more liberal thinking and action person was selected

then there would be no more discourse of grow or change. In my own humble

opinion, Liberal begets more liberal. There is no room to move to a more

Conservative stance. However, Conservatism allows a malleable stance for

change and not necessarily an absolute of position.

I believe this Pope's human experience will sway him as much as the Church's doctrine.

His Virgo Moon begs him to be complete and exact. - If nothing else..

Choosing the name Benedict is significant too. Being the 'Blessed One" propels

one to move for better.

As far as the American Church is concerned and doctrine held elsewhere, The

Pope's boundary of Value and belief will hold beyond all the waves of

discontent - And, in the long run be the precursor for change.

perhaps it wouldbe interesting to analyze his chart.His date of birth is:16

unknown timeGermany, unknown town.Does anyone know the right time or

place?Anyway, with these elements alone we can erect a moonchart.Moon in Virgo

(cannot be anywhere else but Virgo acorrect birth time would still give us

moon in Virgo).This Pope is regarded by many as the cleanser -hopefully he will

do something about the paedophilesin the church...Sun in Aries (8th from the

Moon) - Cardinal sign,leader, Mars the warrior. And Mars in Gemini -personally

I think this means he may try to impose hisideas (air sign gemini)?Jupiter very

near Pisces, but still trapped in a signof Saturn - Aquarius - could also

indicate this?According to his writings, I think this moon chartshows how

unshakeably conservative he is. He hasSaturn aspecting Venus. Even though Venus

and Saturnare friends, if we read his writings, we will see howthis is

materialized in his words against theemancipation of women in the church.

Saturn restrictsVenus.What do you think? Thanks, Rui.
