Sage Bhrighu’s Easy Methodology (Bhrighu Saral Paddathi) 25

BSP- 25: ‘Moon’s Door Mat House Technique’.

It is quiet peculiar, that we are trained to see since thousands of years of astrology where a planet is placed, in which house, and how is it placed in relation to other planets. What none of us are trained is to see ‘Which house the planet has last passed?’

There are three results indicated by this rule:

1. Trouble to one of the relatives indicated by the 12^th house from Moon, and /or
2. Physical problems to the said relative, and /or
3. Attitudinal problems to that relative.

Let us go a little deeper into this aspect and visualize Moon in an arbitrary chart. Suppose, Moon is in the 10H then for now don’t  see Moon in the 10H but train your mind to note that Moon has passed the 9H and the following results can happen to the 12^th from Moon which we would call the ‘Door Mat House of the Moon’.

The house Moon has passed in any chart gives either of the following results:

1. Mental/psychological/attitudinal problems to the relative signified by that house.
2. Mental/psychological/attitudinal problems to the characteristic of the relative signified by that house (e.g. Moon in 9H so 8H is the Door Mat House, but suppose you can’t see any relative from 8H then note that it is the 5H of mind of Mother from the 4H of Mother, so mental or attitudinal problems to Mother).
3. Life of the relative signified by this door mat house is spoilt or wrecked or full of challenges or that house will show bad condition/fructification of an event. (BSP Critical Point)

The scribe has attempted to collate a list representing the relatives associated with each of the houses. This chart is inconclusive as it stands and can be further enriched with more relations.

Let us study a few charts and this should give us a better understanding of how the ‘Moon’s Door Mat House’ technique works.

Chart 1: Anne Heche – American Actress

DOB: 25-May-1969; TOB: 16:51:00 Hrs (+04.00 west); POB: Cleveland, Ohio, 81W42, 41N30.

She and Steve Martin were a couple from 1993-95, but the relationship that earned the most play from the media was her affair with comedienne Ellen DeGeneres. She played the best friend of Demi Moore in the movie ‘The Juror’.

1. Moon is in the 12H so the Door Mat House of Moon is the 11H of elder brothers/siblings and the death house of father being 3^rd from the 9H of Father.
2. So the lives of elder brother and death of father should be affected by the Moon’s door mat theory.
3. Anne’s Father died of AIDS when she was only 13 years of age. Three months after the death of her father her elder brother died in a car accident at a ripe age of 18.
4. Heche reveals that “She spent the first 31 years of her life suffering from ‘mental illness’ that she says was triggered by sexual abuse by her father” Astro Data Bank (ADB).

Chart 2: Barack Obama – President of the United States of America

DOB: 4-Aug-1961; TOB: 19:24:00 Hrs (+10.00 west); POB: Honolulu, Hawaii 157W51, 21N18.

He is the 44^th President of the United States. He is the first African American to hold the office. Obama served as a U.S. Senator representing the state of Illinois from January 2005 to November 2008, when he resigned following his victory in the 2008 presidential election.

1. Moon is in Rohini Nakshatra in the 5H. 12H from Moon is his 4H of Mother. So as per this BSP his mother’s life must be spoilt.
2. The Lord of 4H Mars (Bhadak for Capricorn Ascendant) is with Rahu in his 8H of sorrow and strife.
3. It is clear from the life story of Obama that his mother’s life was quite stormy. His father was married but lied to his mother at the time of their marriage. When she came to know of it she separated physically from him and then after a while filed divorce.
4. Barack was only 2 years old when his parents separated. If one uses Bhrighu Chakra Paddathi (BCP) this would be his 2H of Family which has the seperative planet Ketu.

Chart 3: Vincent Van Gogh – Dutch Artist

DOB: 30-Mar-1853; TOB: 11:00:00 Hrs (+02.00 east); POB: Zundert, Netherlands;4E40, 51N28.

‘A Dutch post-Impressionist painter whose work, notable for its rough beauty, emotional honesty, and bold colour, had a far-reaching influence on 20^th century art’ [Wikipedia]. His life story seems to lack a psychological shield to protect him from perennial bouts of mental illness and self-inflicted pain.

1. The 12H from Moon in this chart is the 5H of mind of the native and love life. So as per this BSP his mind or mental state must be spoilt or badly afflicted.
2. Note, the 5H is also afflicted by Mars (6L of wounds by weapon), Rahu (poison in the bullet), Saturn (8L of death & 9L of religion), Lagna Lord Mercury which is also the 4L (chest).
3. Recall our above observations as you read what ADB reports “Van was disappointed in love and religion throughout his short life of 37 years. On 14-Oct-1889, Vincent went quite mad to where he was considered dangerous. He was put in an asylum near Paris on 25-Jan-1890. His doctor encouraged him to keep painting, and flying into a creative frenzy, Van Gogh completed 70 canvases in 70 days. Six months later, on July 27, while painting in a wheat field, he became suddenly, intolerably despondent and shot himself in the chest”.
4. “At the time of his death he was a failure, a misfit who had sold only two paintings in his lifetime, an artist who was later known as one of the most famous painters of all time. In 1987, a collector paid close to $54 million for his “Irises,” now in the Getty Museum in Los Angeles.” [ADB]. Recognition for his work comes after his death. Note, 12L (credit of one’s good deeds -Punya Dana) Venus is exalted with 3L (Hand/ Painting) Sun and 6L (Mars). Moon as karaka of mind has played a significant role in the life of Van Gogh.

Chart 4: Carl Gustav Jung – Swiss Psychiatrist and Author

DOB: 26-Jul-1875; TOB: 19:29:00 Hrs (+02.00 east); POB: Kesswil, Switzerland; 09E18, 47N35.

A swiss psychiatrist who is considered as the Father of Analytical Psychology. Jung is one of the best known contemporary contributors to dream analysis and symbolization. He had keen interests in Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, sociology, literature and arts. His interest in philosophy and the occult led many to view him as a mystic.

1. The 12H from Carl’s Moon is his 4H of Mother, which is on his Rahu-Ketu axis. So as per this BSP his mother’s life must be spoilt.
2. The 4L Jupiter is in the 11H. This placement should remind us of the SA article ‘Jupiter Hampered By North Node’ by Babubhai Yodh & B.D. Vaghela which states “Good quality of Jupiter is badly hampered by North Node (Rahu) when positioned in either Sagittarius or Pisces resulting in disturbed marital happiness and family life of the person.”
3. Hampered Jupiter (4L of Mother) is in 8H (chronic diseases) from the 4H.
4. Note, what is written about his Mother in Wikipedia “An eccentric and depressed woman, Emilie Jung spent much of the time in her own separate bedroom, enthralled by the spirits that she said visited her at night. Jung had a better relationship with his father because he thought him to be predictable and thought his mother to be very problematic. Although during the day he also saw her as predictable, at night he felt some frightening influences from her room. At night his mother became strange and mysterious. Jung claimed that one night he saw a faintly luminous and indefinite figure coming from her room, with a head detached from the neck and floating in the air in front of the body. His mother left Laufen for several months of hospitalization near Basel for an unknown physical ailment.”
5. In Indian astrology Ketu denotes spirits and Rahu amplifies mystery/occultism. Ketu is aspecting the 4H of Mother and dispositor of Moon (i.e. Mars) is in the 12H of hospitalization.

Chart 5: Diana – Princess of Wales

DOB: 1-Jul-1961; TOB: 19:45:00 Hrs (+01.00 east); POB: Sandringham, England 0E31, 52N50.

She was the daughter of the 8^th Earl of Spencer. She was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales, whom she married on 29 July 1981. On 31-Aug-1997, Diana was fatally injured in a car crash in the Pont de l’Alma road tunnel in Paris, which also caused the deaths of her companion, Dodi Al-Fayed.

1. The 12H from her natal Moon is 3H of Capricorn. 3H represents younger siblings. So as per this BSP his life must be spoilt.
2. Diana’s younger sibling Charles, the 9^th Earl Spencer has had a series of marital upheavals.
3. On 16-Sep-1989, Charles Spencer married Victoria Lockwood, a model. The couple moved to Cape Town, South Africa, and had four children before filing for divorce on 3-Dec-1997.
4. On 15-Dec-2001, he married Caroline Freud. He had two children by Caroline, from whom he separated in 2007.
5. In 2010, Charles Spencer had his engagement broken with Lady Bianca Eliot.
6. Charles is currently married to Canadian philanthropist Karen Gordon, the founder and chief executive of Whole Child International, a Los Angeles-based charity. They are expecting a child in July 2012 [Wikipedia].
7. Recollect our BSP-5 which states “When Jupiter and Saturn are conjunct in any house, at least one signification of the sign of Aries, whichever house it occupies, will be Spoiled/Activated/Topsy Turvy or for the prosperity of that house to manifest, lots of efforts need to be put in.”
8. Aries is the 6H in Diana’s chart which is also the 4H of Sukh (happiness) from 3H of younger sibling which got destroyed in this case, also 6H is the house of accidents and akalamrityu (untimely death) which got activated by the BSP 5 rule.

Chart 6: John Drew Barrymore – American Actor

DOB: 4-Jun-1932; TOB: 15:52:00 Hrs (+08.00 west); POB: Los Angeles, CA 118W14, 34N03.

John was a member of the Barrymore family of actors, which included his father, John Barrymore Sr., and his father’s siblings, Lionel and Ethel. He is the father of four children, including John Blyth Barrymore and Drew Barrymore.

1. John’s 12H from his Moon is his 7H of his martial relationships, which as per our stated technique is hampered.
2. His 7H is occupied by Maraka planet Mars, which makes his chart a Manglik.
3. John married four times, with each marriage producing one child, and all four marriages ending in divorce. His third child, Drew Barrymore, became a successful cinema actress.
4. The 7H also signifies the children of John’s siblings since it is 5H from the 3H.
5. Note what Wikipedia reports about his brother Lionel Barrymore “Doris Rankin bore Lionel two daughters, Ethel Barrymore II (b. 1908) and Mary Barrymore. Unfortunately, neither baby girl survived infancy, though Mary lived a few months. Lionel never truly recovered from the deaths of his girls, and their loss undoubtedly strained his marriage to Doris Rankin, which ended in 1923.”

Chart 7: Adolf Hitler – Dictator of Nazi Germany

DOB: 20-Apr-1889; TOB: 18:30:00 Hrs (+02.00 east); POB: Braunau, Austria; 13E2, 48N16.

Austrian-born German politician and the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party commonly referred to as the Nazi Party. He was appointed Chancellor in January 1930 and quickly rose in ranks to become the Dictator of Germany in 1933, retaining power until his death in 1945.

1. The door mat house for Hilter’s Moon is his 3H of siblings. So as per this BSP his siblings life must be spoilt.
2. 3L Mars is in the malefic 8H (death) with 12L (Loss) Sun, Mandi, Gulika and Maraka Venus in retrograde.
3. 3L and 8L (death) Mars is also afflicting his 3H of siblings with its 8^th
4. ADB reports “Of the seven children conceived by Hitler’s mother, Klara, four died prematurely, one was moronic, and another was hidden from public view as an idiot.”
5. The death of his siblings had a traumatic effect on young Hitler. He went from a confident, outgoing boy who excelled in school, to a morose, detached, sullen, rebellious boy who constantly battled his father and his teachers. One must note that the 3H is the house of the subconscious mind.

Chart 8: Albert Einstein – German Physicist and Nobel Laureate

DOB: 14-Mar-1879; TOB: 11:30:00 Hrs (+01.00 east); POB: Ulm, Germany; 10E0, 48N24.

Albert was a German theoretical physicist who developed the theory of general relativity. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics “for his services to theoretical physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect” [Wikipedia]. For this achievement, Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern Physics.

1. The door mat house for Einstein’s Moon is his 5H of children and love life. So as per this BSP his children’s life & love life must be spoilt.
2. “In early 1902, before their marriage Einstein and Mileva Marić had a daughter they named Lieserl. Her full name is not known, and her fate is uncertain after 1903” [Wikipedia]. The knowledge of this daughter did not come forward until 30 years after Einstein’s death. There is some speculation as to the daughter being retarded or having Down’s syndrome. There is also speculation that the daughter may have died at 21 months.
3. The couple had two sons, Hans Albert, and Eduard. One died in a mental institution, the other became an Engineering Professor.
4. Observe, the 5L Venus although exalted in Pisces is with 8L of mystery Saturn and aspected by Ketu a separative planet.
5. He married his maternal first cousin Elsa Lowenthal, after he divorced Mileva. Elsa Einstein was diagnosed with heart and kidney problems and died in December 1936.
6. Albert spent the remaining 19 odd years of his life without a partner and also estranged from the mainstream of contemporary physics of which he is considered to be the Father.
