Jay Leno and his career

[Guest guest]

Folks,

Here is what I think of Jay Leno...

 

A question that arises to anybody following Jay Leno's career is; Why did Jay

Leno's career go through change in 2009 after

17 years of uninterrupted talk shows?

 

According to my calculations, using Vedic astrology birth rectification

concepts, Jay Leno has an Aquarius rising sign (April 28,

1950). For someone to be a successful TV personality; Venus, third house, second

and seventh has to interact and the person

has to have strong periods (running dasas) operating during their lifetime to

have success and fame. Mercury's interaction on any

one of these houses or house of profession is a welcome feature. One can find

some similarities in Johnny Carson's and Jay Leno'

s chart, though they both have different rising signs.

 

Jay Leno's 10th lord of profession is also 3rd lord – Mars. This is very well

placed in the seventh house of business partners and

public interactions. Mars itself is in the constellation (lunar mansions) of a

powerful Sun. And this exalted Sun is placed in third

house of Mars thereby exchanging signs (termed as parivarthana in Vedic

astrology). Venus, planet of art and an excellent planet

for Aquarius rising sign that can give luck and fame is well placed in the

ascendant itself with Jupiter a planet that can bestow

enormous wealth for this ascendant. Leno's Mars period starting April 1976 was a

notable period that vaulted him into comedy

circuit. This followed by Rahu period (Rahu is the Moon's north node) starting

1983 to 2001. It is during this period that Leno

established himself as a top-rated professional. Rahu's period gave him the

riches and fame as it is in the constellation of

ascendant lord Saturn and is aspected by Mars, the planet of profession.

Jupiter's period is running since 2001 and currently Leno

is in Venus sub-period (2009 March to 2011 November).

 

Venus sub-period has given some minor health issues and career ups and downs to

Jay Leno. It must be noted that Venus in his

chart is well placed but is aspected by Mars and Saturn, two malefic planets

that can cause disturbance when transits also

support an event. Important planets, such as Jupiter and Rahu in 2009 were

transiting the house of retirement, long vacation and

losses. In addition, transit Saturn in Leo was exactly at 29 degrees over his

natal Mars, in the first two weeks of September 2009

that also caused changes to Leno's career. But the recent events suggests that

this was not a smooth career transition as his

ratings dropped and his Show will likely move back the original slot of 11:35pm.

The reason for slump in ratings is due to transit

Saturn's aspect on his tenth house of profession, after Sep 2009, and transit

Mars that is in its debilitation sign of Cancer till May

2010. So, one can expect the transition to be rough with many ups and downs. A

retrograde Saturn from January 13, 2010 till May

2010 will also, make the transition bumpy with roadblocks.

 

Transit Saturn's stay in Virgo will be slightly problematic for Jay Leno's

career over the next 2 years as this transit Saturn also

aspects his tenth house of profession. But the Sun sub-period starting in 2011

November will be better for him, although his

health may need some careful scrutiny from time to time in the interim period.
