Jack Welch

March 1, 2004

Dear Sunil

Thanks for the query, i shall analyse the chart of Jack Welch.

Jack Welch is sagittarius rising, and the first thing that i could notice is the Vijaya Yoga in lagna. The Mars and Rahu are tightly conjunct the lagna, within an arc minute, and this defines his dynamic personality.

Mars in lagna makes a person cruel, short tempered, bellicose but an inspired fighter. He has been called the manager of the century,if you look at his Rajya Pada, you would notice that there is jupiter and Sun. Well jupiter in trines to Rajya Pada does give big titles, the fact that there is Sun has given him the title of a manager. Mercury in Al in libra has given him the tag of a maverick deal maker(libra is all about deals and trading, mercury is the trader)

His Sudden elevation in 1981 can be attributed to some important factors.a) Saturn and jupiter were transiting Virgo, which is his natal 10th house, and also houses Venus. Thus there was bound to be good results pertaining to career.,

b) In Rasi The narayana dasa of Gemini was running, and it had to give results of debilitated nodes in kendra(Tasmin ...). This was sudden, and he beat out 6 other contenders, owing to the sudden factor of Ketu(Ketu can be very erratic, sudden and here he is in gemini, whose lord mercury is in AL, thus giving the sudden rise)

c) The narayana dasa in Dasamsa was of Libra-cancer. And it is clear from his dasamsa. Libra houses the potent venus-jupiter combo, + the antardasa was of lagna(cancer) thus giving results to the self.

d) His marriage has been troublesome affair. Rahu-ketu axis predominates in both rasi chakra as well as Navamsa chakra. The fact that there is mars in 2nd house in navamsa, ensured that he had some kind of secret affairs(Mars in scorpio), and also a second marriage.

e) The most important point ofcourse is the fact that His Atma Karaka is Mars who is in Isana Dasamsa, Maya Siddhamsa, and Karala Damshtra Sashtyamsa. WHile in Dasamsa, mars in Isana has given him the vision to take his company forward, and in Maya Siddhamsa has given him rare abilities to construct huge empire. Karala Damshtra means frightful teethed, and this would imply a strong, domineering CEO.

f) You can also note that Sun is in 2nd house in dasamsa, bringing him huge gains with respect to his profession. 10th lord mercury is in Mesha navamsa, signifying his fierce martian qualities.

g) ANother important point is the name of his famous book, which is "Straight from the Gut". Gut is the area just above navel, and rules the Manipura Chakra. It is agni tatwa, ruled by Mars, and the beeja for this chakra is Ram. Well you can see the presence of Mars in the title of His book. Now we can understand the AK Quite well.

Biography

American business executive, perhaps the most touted CEO in America over the past 20 years. The head of General Electric from 1981, Welch retired on 9/07/2001 with a record of returning more value to shareholders than even Bill Gates or Sam Walton, an increase of more than 3,000% during his tenure. His autobiography, "Jack: Straight From the Gut," became an instant best-seller upon its publication, 9/11/2001.

Welch recreated GE, taking an inefficient company into an upwardly mobile behemoth that sells airplane engines, provides mortgages and runs a TV network. A ferocious deal-maker, he was named Manager of the Century by Fortune magazine. For 20 years, Jack worked his way through GE, including the plastics division and Credit corporation, rising to the top job in 1981, succeeding Reginald Jones. When he retired, he left his hand-picked successor, Jeff Immelt. He spent five weeks on a tour to promote the book that copped a $7 million dollar advance, and was then available as a Consultant. He joined a New York private equity firm as a special partner.

A slight man who speaks with a heavy Boston accent, Jack comes across like an ordinary Joe, putting people at ease. He can be blunt, crude, coarse, profane and funny, what may be called “paht of his chahm.” He’s a man’s man with three passions; G.E., golf and the Boston Red Sox. He went through a divorce and two heart attacks along the way and admits that he could have been a better dad to his four kids. He was the only child of older parents. His dad was a conductor on the railroad and he was closest to his mom, who encouraged his self-confidence when he stuttered. He was devastated by her death in 1965. He studied chemical engineering at the University of Illinois and started with GE in 1960 at a salary of $10,500 a year.

When his first marriage broke up in 1987, he wrote that it was “difficult and painful.” As to parenting, he could only note that he was “the ultimate workaholic.” His second wife, Jane, is a spirited Alabama-born lawyer 17 years younger than he. They both love golf and are both club champions. They live in Connecticut but vacation in Nantucket. Welch's second marriage came to an end with the public disclosure of his affair with Suzy Wetlaufer, 42, a divorce who edits the Harvard Business Review. Wetlaufer was openly delighted in telling colleagues that their relationship began in November 2001, after she completed a series of interviews to compliment the publication of his book. It was ongoing when it reached the pages of Time magazine in March 2002.

Dear Sunil

My comments below

Dear Partha,

Thanks for your splendid analysis. I am sure many beginners like me would have appreciated this

My apologies for not replying earlier. Pls allow me to ask further queries.

1) What is Vijaya yoga, the JHL software doesn't give this.

Partha:- Vijaya Yoga is combo of mars and rahu. Natives with such a yoga, would be fighters in the areas where it is formed.

2) Did u mean that planets in lagna if tightly conjoined the ASc degree, it gives a dynamic personality, I presume malefics would give a fearsome , outgoing , dynamic leadership quaility - Pls kindly correct me and guide me.

partha:- Planets conjunct Lagna degree impart their qualities to the maximum to the lagna. Thus mars and rahu would mean an agressive and domineering personality.

3) What is Rajya Pada A10 or A9

Partha:-Rajyasthana is 10th house, so rajya pada is A10 ofcourse.

4) When I saw the chart, what i could view only was , the exchange of 10th and 11th lords, exchange of 1st and 12th lords, 5th lord in 1st house - I thought this is what made him great. Although earlier I used to think that Lagna lord in the 12th house is bad and the person won't prosper, but now after viewing some charts of established people I have noticed that it isnt so, infact many people who are abroad or have gone abroad or have strong international connections have this same combo ( I agree many other combos to be seen for international travel)

Partha:-good analysis.

5) What depressed me was that his 10th house, his house of profession and karma has deb Ven - I mean this guy did some of the best work, he has gone to create history, his thuoghts are what todays managers aspire for, he was called an unprofessional man having too much of emotionalism and displaying emotional behaviour in corporate affairs - which is a corporate no no. Same Ven 4th and 11th L is in own sign ( if i am not wrong a Mahapurusha yoga) in the D10 chart, along with Jup 9L and aspecting the 10th house of D10. If i remember correctly PVR is of the opinion that Mahapurusha yoga is not applicable in Divisionals, but others are not so.

Partha:-The rasi chart itself shows quite a few strong yogas. There is change of Amatyakaraka from Mercury to Moon(both are in same longitude). And moon is placed in 10th house from Natural Amatyakaraka Jupiter. Moon is also conjunct Ghati lagna. Sun is the dispositor of Moon, and Sun is also the Ghati lagna lord. Sun is with Jupiter the lagna lord, thus transfering the power(ghati lagna) to the self!!

In his D10: 5th lord of opportunities in Lagna, lagna lord in the 9th house of fortune, forms a good interplay I think, i wonder if this is of some significance, pls guide.

I think there is a form of VRY, 3rd lord and 12th lord in the 11th house of income.

But what fails me to see is what is that few factors that made him a cult name.

The factors that u have outlined many I have understood but some are very high funda stuff

Partha:-Cult status is due to his AK conjunct lagna degree, Jupiter conjunct Mahamatya Saham. Many planets are in 21-23 degree range. And many important sahams such as Gaurava(Respect), Karma(profession), yasas(fame) are in the same degrees,.Apart from the above, he has a strong gaja kesari yoga, Raja Yoga due to debilitated venus in 10th( a special yoga for Dhanus lagna). My grandfather has written a book on special yogas for all the lagnas. i will translate it one day,

6) Referring back to your analysis, Sanjayji has mentioned in his article on Bhanuji that nodes debilitated in the kendras , i think the 1/7 axis means that he would do great work, and selfless act. I do not know if that principle, can be applied here. I think Bhanuji's chart was with nodes deb with Gemini lagna, so i dont know if one can apply that principle here, Gurus guide to correct me. Coming to Jack Welch, one would say he was a person driven by his own ambition, but to look at it diff maybe he would have done some great act of charity, i dont know, but his book has inspired millions, the word GE has inspired and fed millions .

What is the meaning of Tasmin ( u used it in ur email), still trying to wonder here as to how deb nodes can give such great results ( referring to the point where u used Narayana Dasa)

Usually astrologers frown upon deb nodes and act as if the person is a cursed sinner.

Partha :- Jaimini has said that deb nodes in kendras give wealth( a special raja yoga, Tasmin uche ...)

7) I think what answer I was looking for as to why he became so great lys here in what u wrote, but I wouldn'tbe able to understand it as it is complicated stuff for my small mind. Words lke Isana Dasama , Maya Siddhamsa etc I do not know the meanings. I think one day I shall ask u when i mature more in astrology.

The most important point ofcourse is the fact that His Atma Karaka is Mars who is in Isana Dasamsa, Maya Siddhamsa, and Karala Damshtra Sashtyamsa. WHile in Dasamsa, mars in Isana has given him the vision to take his company forward, and in Maya Siddhamsa has given him rare abilities to construct huge empire. Karala Damshtra means frightful teethed, and this would imply a strong, domineering CEO.

8) Why should Sun in the 2nd house in D10, bring huge gains in profession, could u pls expand on this, i know this is basics but i am unable to understand the importance of this apart from the fact taht sun is in Leo its own sign.

Partha:-Sun is his 2nd lord in Dasamsa and 2nd house in dasamsa indicates the last part of career. Sun is a KING, and he being in his own house, made him what he is today. Sun is also GHati lagna lord in rasi chakra, he is Bhagyadhipati etc etc

9) What u explained about the title of his book was brilliant, a novel way of looking at things, similarly i have heard Chandubhai use such techniques. referrring to ur connection of 'Straight from the Gut' - Manipura Chakra-Agni tatwa- Mars connection, I would like to add that his book has his name written in Red, the color red being maritian in nature.

Partha:-thank you for the nice words. And it is really interesting to note that he wrote in RED, confirming my earlier analysis.

Thanking you so much Partha, it really was a brilliant analysis from you as usual.

With blessings from the Divine Mother,

Sunil John

Thank YouBest wishes Partha
