Popularity and Fame in Horoscope

Indicators of Popularity and Fame in Horoscope

The desire to be popular is innate in every individual. It is a natural and psychological motivation which inspires people to achieve great deeds. Even those who are accused for criminal acts have been found to be clamouring for popularity. The area of activity in which an individual wishes to achieve popularity and fame may differ from one person to another but the desire for appreciation, fame and popularity is almost universal.

But it is found that everybody is not so lucky as to get appreciation from others. Some persons are really very capable in several fields but they do not receive kudos. Many hard working persons have been denied this recognition. In this context, it can also be noted that the social status, the amount of money earned and educational and other attainments are not necessarily the determinants of one’s popularity.

This aspect of one’s life is very well illumined on the basis of astrological chart of the person. A careful examination of a person’s natal chart could indicate the degree of appreciation or unpopularity one has to receive and also the area in which such importance can be perceived.

Astrologically, the name and fame of an individual depend upon his merits of the past lives. As such any indication with regard to this aspect of his life would be linked with the disposition of his ninth house. It also has some connection with the special mission in the present life and the way he is likely to relate himself with the society outside himself, which means his actions and reactions to the external world. This aspect of one’s life is intimately connected with the tenth house.

Therefore, tenth house should also be related with the people’s regard for the individual. The most important consideration in the present context is the nature of the ego incarnated in the present life. The whole personality, his basic constitution, his entire life in essence which are represented by the ascendant is of great consequence.

Any question of popularity, name and fame, must be associated with the first house in the natal chart. Therefore in studying the popularity and fame of a person, it is necessary to examine the ninth, tenth and the first houses of a natal chart.

Among the planets which must be taken into account in deciding the popularity of a person, the disposition of Jupiter is important. Jupiter is one such planet which has tremendous importance in determining the reputation of a person. As a matter of fact, it has the great cleansing impact. The evil is greatly reduced by the placement or aspect of Jupiter.

Therefore, any connection of Jupiter with evil planets considerably minimizes the malefic nature of these planets. The main influence of Jupiter is to reduce the bad influences of malefics, therefore, under the Jovian impact even when some planet is creating situations adverse to the individual the final outcome is not very disturbing.

A person may be accused of some undesirable act under the influence of a malefic planet but the Jovian association or aspect would see that no scar is placed on the individual. This clearly shows that Jovian benefic influence on the ninth, tenth, ascendant is important but it is also important to see that any adverse planetary influence is counteracted as far as possible by the Jovian impact.

Another planet which is to be considered is the present context is Moon. Moon is different from Jupiter. Moon has very little clarifying content. Its main impact is to reflect, and intensity the good name and deeds of the individual concerned.

If someone has done some socially desirably act, the influence of Moon is in highlighting it, so that he gets his due reward and due recognition. Whereas Jovian influence could even clarify the tarnishes, Moon heightens the goodness. Those individuals who find that their socially desirably activities do not get due reward and feel that people are generally apt to ignore him even if he is well deserving could find that their Moon is placed in an unfavourable situation or it is not fully aspecting the benefics or is not associated with helpful planets.

Some adverse situation of Moon can very well react to gem therapy or to psychological orientation of one’s attitude. These two, rather both of these, could vitally change the popularity of the person, and he may start getting due recognition of his merits by properly treating Moon.

These two-Jupiter and Moon are positive planets which have to be taken care of for augmenting one’s popularity, the infliction of Rahu and Ketu is dreaded because they act in an adverse way. Rahu and Ketu have to be watched as karmic planets which implied that there has been something in the past lives of the person which necessitated this infliction. Therefore they have to be treated very carefully.

 Rahu creates stigma, mistrust, depression, failure, inability to express the good of others. Such persons whose psychological orientation is coloured by Rahu can not ordinarily see the goodness in others.

Whatever their merit, Rahu would see that the good deeds of the persons are veiled from the sight of others and therefore there does not arise any question of getting the reward of their good deeds. These merits would simply not be known. To obviate this unfortunate condition, one has to propitiate Rahu which by itself is very difficult and it can be done in several ways.

One of the easiest, and surest way of remedying Rahu’s infliction (apart from gem therapy, mantras, and other Tantras) is to control one’s tongue. When one begins to control one’s speech, one begins to propitiate Rahu.

Ketu is very different from Rahu. It is also a significator of Karmic results but in this case it is not always humiliation, or disappointment. For the outside world, this planet would make the person known widely but within himself he would feel small.

It is a planet which is very much positive in the sense that it brings result on its own, not because of its association. Thus if someone has Ketu related to his ninth, tenth, or ascendant, he would be widely known; people would have higher estimate than what he himself has of himself.

These general principles can be better tested if we examine their efficacy in relation to certain known cases. Let us take the case of Gautama Budha. Dr. B. V. Raman has given the natal chart of Gautama Budha as follows (Chart 1):

नमस्कार । मेरा नाम अजय शर्मा है। मैं इस ब्लाग का लेखक और ज्योतिष विशेषज्ञ हूँ । अगर आप अपनी जन्मपत्री मुझे दिखाना चाहते हैं या कोई परामर्श चाहते है तो मुझे मेरे मोबाईल नम्बर (+91) 7234 92 3855 पर सम्पर्क कर सकते हैं । परामर्श शुल्क 251 रु है। पेमेंट आप नीचे दिये QR CODE को स्कैन कर के कर सकते हैं। कुंडली दिखाने के लिये पेमेंट के स्क्रीन शॉट के साथ जन्म समय और स्थान का विवरण 7234 92 3855 पर वाट्सप करें । धन्यवाद ।

Gautama Budha was a Cancer Ascendant native with the lord of Ascendant Moon in fourth house aspecting the tenth house and the lord of the ninth house.

Jupiter’s association with Saturn has greatly eliminated the malefic effect of this planet. Rahu relegated in the twelfth house does not have any material karmic bondage which could dim his glory. Ketu has his life very introspective as far human relationship is concerned. Jovian aspect on Ketu has further turned Ketu into a beneficial planet. Thus we find that the first, ninth and tenth houses and the impact of Jupiter, Moon, Rahu and Ketu have made popularity and glory uncontaminated.

The second chart (Chart II) is of Dr. Albert Einstein. Here also we find exceptional combinations for great popularity and renown. Ascendant lord Mercury is posited in the tenth house, a house of Jupiter and the lord of the tenth is Jupiter which is itself placed in the ninth house.

From the ninth house it aspects the ascendant thus protecting the individual from any untoward incident and making his personality and his personal life free from any ill-will. The Jovian protection, to a great extent, protected him from Hitler and never his personal integrity was at stake.

Rahu in eighth house in the Jovian sign made him very despondent about the misuse of his scientific investigations. Because of Moon’s position, and of Rahu’s, Albert Einstein had been able to get full credit for all that he was capable of.

Chart III belongs to Dr. Rajendra Prasad. Undoubtedly from all available information, he was a very capable person, and his sacrifices and services for the nation had been outstanding. His personal integrity, and his thoroughness in doing any work entrusted to him were widely acclaimed to be a very high order. But his popularity has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

He was true Gandhian, but how many times he was made the President of Indian National Congress? He was instrumental in taking Mahatma Gandhi to Champaran which ultimately made Gandhiji nationally known but Rajendra Prasad always wanted to remain in the background always shunning limelight and public appearance. He did not think that he was a great man, but very few also gave him his due.

That is one of the reasons that the first president of the Indian Republic is generally forgotten. In places of political worships, the pictures of several vice- presidents adore that dais and public offices but the picture of Dr. Rajendra Prasad is conspicuously absent.

In his chart one will find that his life was destined to be great because of the basic strength in the horoscope but the various principles of popularity had been wanting. His Jupiter is unrelated with tenth house as well as with the ninth house.

His Jupiter does not aspect the ascendant either. The only saving grace is that Jupiter aspects the lord of the ninth house. Moon is associated with malefic Saturn. Rahu is itself in the ninth house. These combinations would show that he may not have popularity in the usual sense: he would always get less than what he deserved from the public.

On the other hand, we may examine the chart of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who was universally considered a beloved person. Considered category by category, every count which makes a person important and renown, has been absent in Pandit Nehru’s life. Compared to Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the academic career of Pandit Nehru was not better.

Even the sacrifice of his personal wealth and promising career for earning money and social prestige could not be considered of higher value than Dr. Prasad. Yet, Pandit Nehru was the beloved leader of the country, whereas Dr. Rajendra Prasad was like a god to be respected but not to be loved. This is the difference between popularity and capability, renown and blind adoration.

What comes from the past lives is the blind adoration or unfounded likes (love is blind, as is said, is true also for what is ordinarily known as popularity, and that is what comes to be what we are discussing). We find that in the case of Pandit Nehru, Ascendant is Cancer with Moon, the ascendant lord, there uncontaminated by any other planet malefic or benefic.

Jupiter associated with Ketu and aspecting Rahu has absolved these planets of their malefic nature. Their inherent feature of stigmatizing the individual wherever they afflict the chart has been turned by Jupiter in favour of the person concerned. (It is altogether a different matter whether the Jovian disposition itself has been greatly altered).

In this way despite of various weakening combinations of the chart, the disposition of Jupiter and Moon have tremendously added to the popularity and public adoration (even when it is not always based on any tangible basis). In this connection one can even note that the tenth house is powerfully aspected by Jupiter from its own sign.

From the above examples, one can find that the popularity which arises from the merits earned in the past lives, and efforts of the present incarnation may arises from the disposition of ninth, tenth and first houses being linked with Jupiter and Moon and protected from the evils of Rahu and Ketu.

Those persons who want to know whether they are expected to get much popularity and renown should look for the unafflicted and helpful influence of Jupiter and Moon. One need not jump to any hasty conclusions because even when these combinations are not obviously present, as it is shown by the example of Dr. Rajendra Prasad there could be many other factors which would make the person really wanted and useful for the nation and the world.

Such credits or such conditions come from the deeds done in the past; hard work in the present. Rewards denied in the present time are kept well preserved for the future which when presented may appear unmerited but they are the fruits of hard work in the present life.

One will become popular only when the houses 10 and 11, are strong and favourable. If he/she were to crush his opponent he/she should be eloquent and possess reasoning faculties.
