Pope Benedict XV1

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

I've been quite astounded by the wave of anti-Catholicism pervading

the lists since the election of the new Pope. I was in fact prompted

to speak out about it on one of the lists but quickly realised that

one cannot turn such a tide of ill-feeling...protesting only makes

it worse (unfortunately) and one can soon find oneself caught up on

the same level of negativity...so it's best to leave it alone.

 

I did wonder however how this might be reflected in his chart:

 

First; that he's a truly spiritual man is evident with MokshaKaraka

Ketu's dispositor (Jupiter) occupying lagna in sign of Aquarius.

According to Varaha Mihira, Jupiter in Aquarius is as benefic as he

is in Cancer. Both Jupiter and Lagna are in nakshatra of Jupiter.

 

Second; although his critics accuse him of being unbending in his

determination to uphold the traditions of the church, all who know

him say he's a man of deep and sincere humility...perhaps we may see

this with Mercury, planet of the intellect, debilitated in 2nd in

nakshatra of Saturn....Mercury in sign of Jupiter is not puffed up.

 

Kalyana Varma tells us that;

"Should Mercury be in Pisces, one will be fond of good conduct and

purity, will live in foreign countries, will be virtuous etc.."

 

Here's a quote by James Braha regarding Saturn and humility;

Although Saturn's very nature is to restrict, deny, and destroy, it

also is capable of bestowing the greatest evolutionary qualities a

person may possess. It is especially helpful to those persons on the

spiritual path who are diligently seeking perfection, for Saturn

gives humility, patience, dedication, and the most genuine sense of

non-attachment in worldly desires and pleasures. It is a spiritual

influence par excellence.

 

Third; his true devotion to God/Christ is evident with YogaKaraka

Venus (9th lord) in own home in 4th house which signifies mind

(emotion), heart, happiness & contentment, confidence & belief, holy

places, moral virtues, devotion to God, piety, righteous conduct,

character, good name and reputation, ultimate results, end of

undertakings, conditions at close of life etc..

So we see at the closing days of his life (old age - note mutual

aspect between bhukti lord Saturn and Venus) he has been elevated to

this position...shepherd of the flock!

 

But I started out wanting to comment on the rise of anti-Catholicism

since his appointment and seemed to have got sidetracked. If I'm not

mistaken we might consider the Church from several angles: First,

and I think most important is the 12th house which shows monasteries

(ashrams) etc.. Being 4th (home) from 9th(religion) it shows the

house of one's preceptor, guru or religion. Note Rx 12th lord Saturn

in sign of Mars is in sign of great enemy in 10th...Mars, conjunct

Rahu, occupies 8th from 10th whilst Mars' dispositor is aspected by

6th lord Moon...Moon represents the public, public opinion and so

forth.

 

Looking at Varshaphal we see that 6th lord Moon and 12th/1st lord

Saturn are conjunct in 5th house of children, followers etc, etc...

 

I'll leave it here for now whilst I take some rest for the rest of

the weekend.

 

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Wendy
