Because it is a favorite theme of mine, I will add some additional
comments on FDR's chart from the perspective of the Jaimini
system and chara dasha.
The Jaimini Karakas (using K.N. Rao's method of using 7 karakas,
not 8) are:
AK - Jupiter
AMK - Sun
BK - Moon
MK - Saturn
PK - Venus
GK - Mercury
DK - Mars
Franklin D. Roosevelt's Natal Chart
The combination in FDR's chart of his Amatyakaraka Sun (planet
with the 2nd highest degrees) and his Putrakaraka Venus (planet
with the 5th highest degrees) in the 5th house Capricorn is
a first-rate Jaimini raja yoga.
Using Chara dasha, FDR obtained his first poltical office in
his 9
year Capricorn period, which ran from 1903 to 1912. As Capricorn
is also the navamsha lagna, he married during this period as
well. As Capricorn is the 5th house of his birth chart and contains
his Putrakaraka, Venus, he also had four of his children during
this period.
Navamsha Chart - divisional chart for marriage
He obtained the Presidency in his Pisces period, from where
this raja yoga involving the AmK (Sun) and PK (Venus) falls
in the 11th house. He won his second term in the Aries period,
from where it falls in the 10th house. He won his 3rd term in
the Taurus period from where it falls in the 9th house. And
his 4th term ended abruptly with his death in the Gemini period,
from where it falls in the 8th house. This is all in keeping
with the interpretive principles of Jaimini.
And parenthetically, for those evaluating the use of 7 versus
8 karakas, if you use 8 karakas and include Rahu, Venus no longer
becomes the PK, and the AmK-PK raja yoga disappears. In this
case, his career rise and political office, and many children
in the Capricorn period, is not nearly as clearly indicated.
One final point. The use of many special lagnas is characteristic
of the Jaimini system for an in depth analysis of a birth chart.
A special lagna used to assess the obtaining of power and positions
of power is the Ghatika lagna, which for FDR is Scorpio. Scorpio
is also his karakamsha lagna, another very important Jaimini
lagna.
In FDR's chart, his Ghatika lagna Scorpio and the 10th house
from there (Leo) both get the Jaimini (sign) aspect of the AK
Jupiter, the Amk Sun, the PK Venus and the 5th lord Saturn.
These are all factors that make for Jaimini raja yogas. From
this perspective, it is a very powerful chart for obtaining
political power.
One other special Jaimini raja yoga may also apply here. Jaimini
sutra 1.3.24 states that birth lagna, hora lagna, and ghatika
lagna all related to one planet gives a powerful raja yoga.
The Mars-Moon combination in FDR's chart aspects (sign) the
birth lagna, Virgo, and the Hora lagna, Pisces. The ghatika
lagna Scorpio is ruled by Mars, who is conjunct the Moon. Mars
in FDR's chart gets dig bala and is related to all three lagnas.
I believe that seeing his chart from the perspective of Jaimini's
chara dasha accounts, in part, for his unique destiny of being
elected to the office of President for an unprecedented four
terms.
