Yes, true with any ayanamsa.

So for Fagan-Bradley emphasis we have a Mercury ruled M.C. Can this compare

to a vargottama Sun and Moon in 10th per Jyotish? Mercury is already

emphasized as the ascendant lord, and it's in the same sign as vargottama

Sun and Moon--Moon is especially important since it's in its own sign.

 

The question was whether Valens' description of Gemini (Fagan-Bradley)

might fit Michael Flatley. Here (in part) is a quote from Valens:

 

" Those so born, then, become fond of discourse, those who work with letters

and education, poetic, lovers of music, teachers of the use of the voice,

capable in matters of household management, those who receive trust. They

also become interpreters, those with an aptitude for commerce, critics of

good and bad, prudent, curious, initiates in occult matters. " (The

Anthology, Book 1, Project Hindsight, 1993, p. 11)

 

Only the reference to music might fit Michael Flatley. It's obvious that

Valens is taking most of these traits from Gemini's lord, Mercury. Then to

repeat your Valens quote regarding Cancer:

 

" Those so born, then, will be fond of repute, popular, changeable,

theatrical, cheerful, fond of pleasure and entertaining, public, inconstant

in knowledge, saying one thing but thinking another, those who do not remain

with one activity or two for long, who end up wandering and sojourning

abroad. "

 

As for changeability, Michael Flatley never stayed long with one company,

leaving over creative disagreements, starting his own company, and then

leaving that as well before forming yet another company. Of course any

international performer these days travels a great deal.

 

Not that everything Valens wrote is necessarity correct. He drew together

diverse views he found on his travels, and summarized concepts as best he

could.
