Gandhiji was born in Kanya lagna, a very fertile artha sign. It is also known for its steady, systematic, methodological nature. A notable kanya lagna physical characteristic is drooping of shoulders. (most astrologers consider Gandhiji’s lagna as thula or libra. But the very fact that Kanya lagna’s 3^rd lord and 8^th lord Kuja indicates his kind of death is enough to prove which lagna he had actually. It is to be remembered that death is seen from 8^th house whereas the nature of death is seen from 3^rd house.)

Gandhiji was born in the nakshatra Aslesha. Aslesha is a star known for its slow and steady entwining/influencing nature, be it for positive or for negative purposes.

Chandra in swakshetra, karkataka with a meena navamsa is strong though it has the weakness of Krishna paksha.

Lagna Surya which would have made him a fiery aggressive man, got tempered as it is neecha aaropi (going towards neecha in thula) and due to occupation of the cool Kanya, and the navamsa in another Budha sign, Mithuna. Being the lord of 12th, the house of frustrations and

losses, Surya in lagna conferred on him the temperament to suffer and to stand for a cause. Still, one can find a kind of excessive seeking of suffering also through this combination. May be this was his moksha marga.

Chandra in Swakshetra in Karakataka, with its navamsa in the Gurukshetra Meena is very favourable, especially as it is posited in the Sarvabheeshta sthaanam, namely the 11th. This favours desire fulfillment, though we can find some clouding and masking of desires due to the Rahu yoga of the Krishna paksha Chandra. This also gives a kind of Unmada yoga. (tendency for hysteria)

Kama(desires):

Bhavas 3, 7 and 11, the rasis Mithuna, Thula and Kumbha, the grahas Sukra, Kuja, Sani and Rahu are the key indicators of Kama. 3rd lord is Kuja, who is occupying a Kama rasi, Thula, along with Sukra and Budha. Anytime there is a relationship between Kuja and Sukra, there is an

accentuation of sensual passions. Here the yoga is in both rasi as well as in navamsa which strengthens the point further. A positive relief is that the yoga has the drishti from Guru(though he is the 7th lord) 3rd house, which shows the

drive, has got Sani in it, which will slow it down, but doesn't kill it. 7th lord Guru occupying 8th, a dusthana indicates the denial of a platform for sensual gratification. However swakshetra navamsa Guru becomes more satvic.

11th lord Chandra is discussed before.

The goodness trine, 1, 5 and 9:

Lagna lord is Budha, who is in a favourable bhava, the vaksthaana, the 2nd. (Budha here is Karmadhipa too) He has association with another trine lord, Sukra which is very favourable. Budha's navamsa from the rasi lagna's 5th house, the house of wisdom further accents the goodness.

5th lord Sani is in 3rd house, an ishta bhava for Sani and in Swakshetra navamsa. But we need to see the negative presence of Ketu in the 5th, which ofcourse brings problems too in decision making.

9th lord, Sukra is in excellent strength by being in Swakshetra in Rasi as well as Navamsa. His yoga with the lagna and karmadhipa Budha (dharmakarmadhipa yoga) has conferred on him qualities par excellence, though the desire factor is accented by the yoga with Kuja.

Gandhiji constantly tried to rise above his kamas and pursue the path of Dharma to seek moksha. We have much to learn from " the small obstinate man".
