Note the conjunction of the Sun and Moon with Rahu hanging around . It's a New Moon ( Amavasya ) Birth within 3 degrees of the sun . The saving grace is that Budha is exalted, But even here, life dealt a raw deal . The 6th lord Kuja along with Budha cannot be good . She had issues with temper all her life, suffered from great mental stress, fought that mental stress with a exalted and logical thinking , due to budha's exaltation . She remained unmarried,( 7th in the 8th , Kuja's aspect on the 7th Guru Retro) lived alone , was very secretive, did not save any money , had differences with her mother , and eventually died a painful death last december of some unknown cause .

Japanese writer whose prolific output includes novels, short stories, plays and essays. One of his most memorable works was "The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea," 1963. Mishima Yukio was the most important writer of post war Japan. He crystallized Japan's tensions between longing for traditional ways of life and the persistent demands of encroaching
westernization. Life magazine called him "the Japanese Hemingway."
The first child of a high level civil servant, Mishima was taken from his mother by his grandmother and raised by her on the first floor of the family home, only allowed to be with his mother when she fed him. The grandmother kept her grandson by her side at all times. He was educated at the prestigious Peers School in Tokyo. He began to write as a youth, and published his first short story at 16 under the pseudonym Mishima Yukio to conceal his age.
From adolescence on he was possessed by violent, macabre and sado-masochistic fantasies, playing out imagery of murder for entertainment, cannibalism and homosexuality, masturbating for the first time over a picture of a bleeding martyred saint. When World War II began, he tried to join the army but failed to qualify, and instead spent the war working in a factory in Tokyo and writing. After Japan's defeat, he studied law at the University of Tokyo, graduating in 1947. He worked for a brief time at the Finance Ministry before deciding to support himself exclusively from his writing.
The publication in 1949 of his second novel, "Confessions of a Mask," brought the youth immediate fame. The story of a boy who comes to recognize his homosexuality and the need to conceal it behind a mask, the novel was taken as a sensitive coming of age tale by Japanese audiences who seemed to have missed its homosexual themes. Other novels followed, including "Forbidden Colors," 1953, "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion," 1959 and "Sun and Steel," 1968. Mishima also wrote numerous plays, including the famous "Madame de Sade" as well as works for the Kabuki Theater and modern Noh drama. In 1966 Mishima directed and starred in the film "Patriotism," based on his short story of the same name. Both film and story focus--in morbidly riveting detail--on a young Japanese military officer and his devoted wife as they prepare for and commit the ritual suicide known as seppuku. The effect is mesmerizing and deeply unsettling.
Mishima was increasingly drawn to the militaristic samurai past of Japan as an antidote to what he saw as the materialism of the modern world. In his greatest work, "The Sea of Fertility," 1969-1971, he used the image of the barren "seas" of the moon to capture the sterility of contemporary Japan. These four novels are considered to be his masterwork, depicting together a portrait of Japanese life from 1912 to 1970. A right-wing nationalist, he was a fervent proponent for a return to the ancient virtues of Japan. Though deeply attracted to the patriotism of imperial Japan and the samurai spirit of Japan's past, he nonetheless dressed in Western clothes and lived in a Western-style house.
He was also attracted to and celebrated the venerable tradition of homosexual love between samurai warriors (which had so shocked 16th century Jesuit missionaries). He started body building in 1955 and took up karate and kendo himself, a traditional Japanese form of swordsmanship. The formerly delicate youth who had failed to qualify for the army built up his own private army of 100 young men who were prepared to defend the Emperor in the event of a leftist uprising or communist attack such as Mishima's paranoia feared was growing more likely in the late 1960's.
He took the Buddhist name of Shobuin Bunkan Koi Koji (Buddhist Lay Spirit of Literature and Martial Arts, Mirror of Culture.) On 6/11/1958 he married Yoko Sugiyama, a student of English at Nihon Woman's College and the eldest daughter of the Japanese painter Yasushi Sugiyama. A ceremony for the arranged marriage was held at the International Cultural Hall at Tokyo. They had a daughter, Noriko, on 6/02/1959 and a son, Iichiro, on 5/02/1962. Although married, Mishima patronized gay bars in the Ginza district of Tokyo. He despised effeminate men, and was what the Japanese call "a bearer of two swords," meaning he kept the company of both men and women, though he preferred men. His marriage preserved the necessary facade of propriety - a facade his widow maintained after his death by censoring all press reports concerning her husband's homosexuality.
At the height of his career, after having written over 100 works, and receiving three Nobel Prize nominations for literature, Mishima committed a ritualized suicide On 11/25/1970, he and four young followers from his army, the Secret Shield, broke into the National Defense Headquarters in Tokyo. Armed with swords, they made their way to the building's roof, where Mishima made a ten-minute speech to some thousand servicemen gathered below. He attacked the Japanese constitution - with its prohibition on national rearmament - for having betrayed the spirit of Japan: "We see Japan reveling in prosperity," he exhorted his audience, "and wallowing in spiritual emptiness... Is it possible that you value life, given a world where the spirit is dead?" His audience was unimpressed. In the samurai tradition of suicide protest,
Mishima then committed seppuku, plunging the knife in his stomach to disembowel himself. In accordance with tradition, one of his disciples - Morita, who was said to be Mishima's lover - decapitated his master with his sword.

Pay close attention to the status of Budha . This is another case of intellect getting perverted . The ring master of the Horoscope is Shani . Shani's aspect on Shukra gave him Homosexual tendencies . Budha and Shukra participate in a Planetary war . But where did the intellect get so perverted , or rather Tainted ?? Note that Budha , Shukra and Maandi are together in Moola Nakshatra , Ruled By Ketu . Rahu is in Budha's nakshatra . Now Rahu gains contact with Budha . To make matters worse , Kuja is in Revati ruled By budha . The mentality is Ruled by Budha . Mercury as we know governs intellect , intelligence, desire and knowledge . A ill placed mercury will ensure that one is impulsive, fickle and gets a perverted intellect . Things would not have been so bad if Shani was not debilitated in the D9 . BPHS says that when Maandi or gulika is in the 5th house , he will short-lived, spiteful, mean, be a eunuch, be subdued by his wife and be a heterodox. (Heterodoxy is generally defined as "any opinions or doctrines at variance with an official or orthodox position) Jataka Parijata says when Gulika /Maandi is in the 5th , the person born will be immoral, irresolute, evil-minded, have few sons and will be short-lived, All this happens in the 5th house of intelligence . No doubt he turned out as complex as this .

Chaks ji , We are not digressing from the topic .
I wrote this in the other thread ,
I say mankind is screwed in many ways . Let me tell you why . first of all , we all know that we are controlled by the 9 planets, 12 signs , 27 Nakshatras and now the battalion of the upagrahas. out of these 9 planets , 4 of them, Rahu , Ketu , Kuja and Shani act like the Al Qaeda with one out of them wanting to be another Mohamed Atta at any given point of time . Then you have the Sun which can be "cruel" most of the times . You have the Moon, the significator of the Mind who is a Randy, fickle, and a emotional wreck who wants everything he sees . Add his son Mr budha who represents our intellect , who is a eunuch and needs somebodies help to prop himself up all the time ... invariably to our misfortune, landing up with the four , or landing up with shukra who most of the times,wants to have a good time and wants to get laid, irrespective of the time, place and date . Then we have Guru who is supposed to control all these jokers and give them good council . Invariable Guru gets raped by one of the 4 or if not lands up with his enemy Shukra . One wants God , the other want to nail every thing to the bed , If Guru is not with any of them , he lands up with his foster Son Budha who hates Guru's sight . If he goes with the Sun , Guru's rose gets burned ........ what chance do we have with this pack ?? Now look at the Nakshatras , out of the 27, 12 are ruled by Shani , Kuja , Rahu Ketu . Chandra owns 3 out of which Hasta is Bad . Budha own 3 out of which 2 are bad . Ravi owns 3 out of which 2 are bad ,Guru owns 3 out of which 1 is bad . Shukra owns 3 out of which 2 are bad ...... How many good Nakshatras do we have left ?? Now In between these 27 Nakshatras and the 9 planets ......... Add Gulika, Upaketu, and Maandi to the gang .......... Ladies and gentle men . we are finished .
If I was to chose the best place for chandra , It would be Vrishabha Rashi In Rohini Nakshatra , In a waxing phase . That is the best I can think of , at this point of time . Even here , we know the story of Rohini .......

Dear Chaks,
The native of the above details is a bank employee, a very young looking and extremely active and has got 2 sons; one of them an engineer and the other one pursuing engineering. Mark Moon unaspected by malefics as 9th lord in the 5th aspected by both Venus and Jupiter. The tainted Venus gave him a pin-frack of a wife. But, otherwise, he is ok.

Ramanan sir . There is a potential Kema druma Yoga which is not cancelled from the lagna because there are no planets in any kendras . However , Guru and Shukra aspecting Chandra has cancelled the Kema Druma yoga . What is interesting is that Guru is aspecting Chandra in the same degree between them making this a superb placement for chandra . Chandra in Revati is beautiful . The more I see this ...... The better it looks . I feel there are superb yoga's for spirituality . Its brilliant .

Kuja aspects the 7th lord within 10 degrees .

Dear Chaks & Astroboy,
Both of you are right. The plight of this man may be due to JU being tainted by debilitated Venus. As astroboy says the teacher who is supposed to control his class more often than not has a migraine.

Dear astroboy,
He is not spiritual but religious and the rate at which things are going he will turn spiritual. Since you mentioned spirituality, here is the detail of a very highly evolved soul who passed away by the opening of the skull (kabala moksha). He is no more now.
Dear chaks,
Here is another untainted moon.
Details:
Jan 6th 1939; 17:45; Vellore, India
Mark the exchange of 5th & 6th lords and also the 9th & 10th lords. No issues, a physician by profession, a 6 footer and a very soft spoken man. Look at the Moon in the nakshatra of punarvasu and looks clean.

If all you want is an untainted Moon, then you have to wait for a few years. In that time you, me and Deepak will have untainted Moons not in our chart but on top of our head. It will not only be not tainted but may even shine like a resplendant Sun.

American actor in a theatrical family, the first son of actor John Carradine with the first of his dad's four wives. He was seven when his folks divorced and he was shuttled between the two from coast to coast. An emotional orphan, he became close to the seven stepbrothers and half brothers that accumulated from his dad's exploits. He was drafted into the Army but was court-martialed out for shoplifting from a base grocery store in 1961. The family career of acting seemed a natural direction for his life. After lean years of studying music and ballet at San Francisco State, his brief Army hitch and working as a fruit picker, David had an acting breakthrough in 1965 as an Inca king in "The Royal Hunt of the Sun" on Broadway.
His tempestuous private life included some 500 acid trips, naked neighborhood junkets and a lawsuit for abuse. With a four-year first marriage to Donna Becht behind him, David fell in love with actress Barbara Hershey in 1969. They never married, but had a son in 1972 whom they named "Free," appropriately for the hippie days of love, peace, dope and flowers.
For three decades, he made a valiant attempt to drink all the alcohol in California, consuming up to a quart and a half a day. His life disintegrated into a long career slide marked by a string of video movies and a reputation for a temper that made him poison for casting.
Carradine was arrested for assaulting a police officer. He pleaded to a lesser charge of disturbing the peace. While in the Army (1960–62) he faced court-martial, on more than one occasion, for shoplifting. After he became an established actor, and had changed his name to David, he was arrested, in 1967, for possession of marijuana.
At the height of his popularity in Kung Fu, in 1974, David Carradine was arrested again, this time for attempted burglary and malicious mischief. While under the influence of peyote, Carradine, nude, began wandering around his Laurel Canyon neighborhood. He broke into a neighbor's home, breaking a window and cutting his arm. He then bled all over the homeowner's piano. At some time during this episode he accosted two young women, allegedly assaulting one while asking, or demanding of her, if she was a witch. The police literally followed a trail of blood to his home. The burglary charges were dropped, as nothing was found to be missing, while Carradine pleaded "no contest" to the mischief charge and was given probation. He was never charged with assault, but the young woman sued him for $1.1 million and was awarded $20,000.
In 1980, while in South Africa filming Safari 3000 (also known as Rally), which co-starred Stockard Channing, Carradine was arrested for possession of marijuana.nHe was convicted and given a suspended sentence. He claimed that he was framed, in this case, by the Apartheid government as he had been seen dancing with Tina Turner.
During the 1980s Carradine was arrested at least twice for driving under the influence of alcohol, once in 1984 and again in 1989. In the second case, Carradine pleaded "no contest". Of this incident The L.A. Times reported "legal experts say Carradine was handed a harsher-than-average sentence, even for a second-time offender: three years' summary probation, 48 hours in jail, 100 hours of community service, 30 days' work picking up trash for the California Department of Transportation, attendance at a drunk driving awareness meeting and completion of an alcohol rehabilitation program."
The 72-year-old actor was found dead on June 4, 2009 in his Bangkok, Thailand hotel room. Although he was found hanged in a closet, officials could not immediately determine whether the death was an accident, suicide or homicide. He was in Bangkok to shoot his latest film, Stretch. A police official said Carradine was found hanging by a rope naked in the room's closet, causing immediate speculation that his death was suicide. However, evidence suggested that his death was the result of autoerotic asphyxiation. Two autopsies were conducted and concluded that the death was not caused by suicide. The cause of death became widely accepted as "accidental asphyxiation".

Immediately following his death, two of his former wives, Gail Jensen and Marina Anderson, stated publicly that his sexual interests included the practice of self-bondage. Anderson, who had plans to publish a tell-all book about her marriage to Carradine, said in an interview with Access Hollywood, "There was a dark side to David, there was a very intense side to David. People around him know that." Previously in her divorce filing she had claimed that "It was the continuation of abhorrent and deviant sexual behavior which was potentially deadly."
His tempestuous private life included some 500 acid trips, naked neighborhood junkets and a lawsuit for abuse. With a four-year first marriage to Donna Becht behind him, David fell in love with actress Barbara Hershey in 1969. They never married, but had a son in 1972 whom they named "Free," appropriately for the hippie days of love, peace, dope and flowers.
For three decades, he made a valiant attempt to drink all the alcohol in California, consuming up to a quart and a half a day. His life disintegrated into a long career slide marked by a string of video movies and a reputation for a temper that made him poison for casting.
Carradine was arrested for assaulting a police officer. He pleaded to a lesser charge of disturbing the peace. While in the Army (1960–62) he faced court-martial, on more than one occasion, for shoplifting. After he became an established actor, and had changed his name to David, he was arrested, in 1967, for possession of marijuana.
At the height of his popularity in Kung Fu, in 1974, David Carradine was arrested again, this time for attempted burglary and malicious mischief. While under the influence of peyote, Carradine, nude, began wandering around his Laurel Canyon neighborhood. He broke into a neighbor's home, breaking a window and cutting his arm. He then bled all over the homeowner's piano. At some time during this episode he accosted two young women, allegedly assaulting one while asking, or demanding of her, if she was a witch. The police literally followed a trail of blood to his home. The burglary charges were dropped, as nothing was found to be missing, while Carradine pleaded "no contest" to the mischief charge and was given probation. He was never charged with assault, but the young woman sued him for $1.1 million and was awarded $20,000.
In 1980, while in South Africa filming Safari 3000 (also known as Rally), which co-starred Stockard Channing, Carradine was arrested for possession of marijuana.nHe was convicted and given a suspended sentence. He claimed that he was framed, in this case, by the Apartheid government as he had been seen dancing with Tina Turner.
During the 1980s Carradine was arrested at least twice for driving under the influence of alcohol, once in 1984 and again in 1989. In the second case, Carradine pleaded "no contest". Of this incident The L.A. Times reported "legal experts say Carradine was handed a harsher-than-average sentence, even for a second-time offender: three years' summary probation, 48 hours in jail, 100 hours of community service, 30 days' work picking up trash for the California Department of Transportation, attendance at a drunk driving awareness meeting and completion of an alcohol rehabilitation program."
The 72-year-old actor was found dead on June 4, 2009 in his Bangkok, Thailand hotel room. Although he was found hanged in a closet, officials could not immediately determine whether the death was an accident, suicide or homicide. He was in Bangkok to shoot his latest film, Stretch. A police official said Carradine was found hanging by a rope naked in the room's closet, causing immediate speculation that his death was suicide. However, evidence suggested that his death was the result of autoerotic asphyxiation. Two autopsies were conducted and concluded that the death was not caused by suicide.

Through hard work and spiritual practices, a person gets honor and dignity. The lazy one who puts in no efforts is like a fool who allows salt to be spilled on the wounds of his misfortunes. The idler depending only on fate, achieves nothing. - K.N.Rao ji
