Story as it goes
Source: http://www.astro.com/astrodatabank/Ford,_Henry
American auto entrepreneur, father of the Model T and initiator of mass
production with his automobiles. He was the man who put America on wheels
with the production and sale of a car that the average person could afford, selling
more than 15 million cars 1908-1927.
He was one of eight children of Irish famine immigrants who became prosperous
farmers in Dearborn. At age of 13, Ford’s mom died of complications in
childbirth, a tragedy which Ford later referred to, “as if a great wrong had been
done to me,” describing his home and family life without his mom as “a watch
without a main spring”. While riding in a horse-drawn wagon a few months after
his mother’s death, Ford first saw a steam engine that operated on its own power,
and was mesmerised. “I was off that wagon and talking to the engineer before
my father knew what I was up to”. Citing the encounter with the steam engine as
his moment of destiny, Ford poured all his energy into tinkering with machinery
of all kinds, using it as an outlet for his grief over his mother.
His mechanical ability was obvious from age seven. After being shown the
inside of a watch, Ford immediately became an avid watch repairer, then
parlayed his obsession with mechanical object to everything he could get his
hands on.
Ford arrived in Detroit at age 16 on 12/01/1879. His first job was at James
Flower and Bros. Machine Shop and later at Detroit Dy Goods Company, the
largest ship building firm on the Great Lakes. Three years later he returned to his
father’s farm to help him bring in the harvest by using machinery. It was a steam
engine that served as his moment of destiny in boyhood, and it was a steam
engine that enticed him to remain on the farm. A neighbor had purchased a
portable steam engine from Westinghouse and was having technical difficulty.
The mechanic hired to repair the machine was not up to the task, and Ford went
to have a look. “I went to work around that little engine and getting a grip on the
engine, so to speak, I got a grip on myself”. By the end of the day Ford felt he
knew everything he needed to know about the engine, and his success with its
repair earned him a position with the Westinghouse Company.
A New Year’s Eve dance in Greenfield, Michigan, brought a young girl named
Clara Jane Bryant to Ford’s attention. “I knew in half an hour she was the one
for me”. They married three years later on 4/11/1888, on Clara’s 22nd birthday.
They farmed 40 acres for three years, but Ford’s main interest was machinery.
He repaired farm machinery on the side for the Buckeye Harvest Company and
was called to Detroit on several occasions. One of these excursions led to his
first observation of a new type of engine that did not operate on steam. Known
as the “silent Otto” it was developed by a German named Nikolaus August Otto
and was a gaspowered, internal combustion engine, the current rage of the
mechanical world. Ford was instantly hooked. Returning home, he realised that
this engine relied on electricity, a subject about which he knew nothing, so he
therefore secured himself a job in Detroit with the Edison Illuminating
Company. His new position necessitated giving up the farm and moving to
Detroit, a prospect Ford was only too willing to undertake.
Using space at the Edison power station as a machine shop, Ford continued his
obsessive experimenting with engines in his spare time. On Christmas Eve 1893,
Ford, assisted by Clara, got an experimental engine to run on its own, without
steam, using electricity from his kitchen.
Ford encouraged four coworkers from Edison to collaborate on an engine that
could propel a “horseless carriage”, such as those being produced in France. On
6/04/1896, Ford’s first horseless carriage, named the Quadricycle, sputtered
forth from the machine shop. In 1899, the Detroit Automobile Company, with
mechanical superintendent Henry Ford, received enough financial backing to
manufacture 12 improved automobiles but the company failed. Undaunted, Ford
then set out to build a racing car with another company. His prototype was
successful and he thus began to build more, unmindful of the labor, cost and
time involved in multiple production. Again, his investors went bankrupt.
The double failure only drove him harder. In 1903, after endless
experimentation, Ford developed his new automobile, named the Model A. This
venture operated under the umbrella of the Ford Motor Company, with Ford the
sole investor. In a few weeks, he found himself bankrupt again, but the Model A
had a taker. Ford found himself immediately swamped with sales, selling 658
automobiles the first year. By 1908, Ford sold over 10,000 Model T’s,
skyrocketing him to the forefront of auto production at age 45.
Ford and his employees built their cars on a process line, a format Ford observed
in machine shops over the previous 20 years. While the machines were
constructed in an ordered sequence, there was no continuous flow, yet record
sales required a new method of production. Thus, Ford moved his operation to
60 acres outside Dearborn, building a factory of 50,000 square feet that gave
birth to the assembly line, organizing Ford Motor Company in 1903. Production
soared, and with it the demand for employees. Ford was progressive for his time,
hiring the handicapped, blacks and women, but he was virulently anti-Semitic.
He doubled the minimum wage and devised the five-day week. By 1920 his
work force numbered over 44,000.
Analysis
Lagna in the Ashlesha Nakshatra shows genetic issues. Her mother and
grandmother both suffered chronic depression and she too was prone to it.
Deceptiveness and calculative nature in her was also imparted by this nakshatra.
She suffered sexual exploitation at the hands of many and this also can be seen
from this nakshatra.
Her clinging nature to people who stopped being a part of her life and to be
constantly needing attention is also depicted by this very nakshatra. The Lagna
also imparts the individualistic nature along with Mars, the Yoga Karaka and
10th Lord. She showed remarked exclusiveness in all that she did and portrayed.
Lagna Lord Moon in Dhanishta nakshatra in the 7th house made her a very
wealthy person but also made her suffer on account of marriage and married life.
Sun and Mercury which are the lords of the 2nd ,3rd and the 12th house
respectively are placed in the Rohini nakshatra in the 11th house. Rohini shows
steady growth, movement and very sound financial progress. Being the 2nd lord
in the 11th house, it creates a Yoga for high financial achievements. As a Karaka
for travel and also the lord of the 12th house, Mercury took her on to frequent
travels on account of earning wealth.
Ketu in the 6th house of Shatru (enemies), afflicting her PurvaAshada nakshatra,
also devoids her of confidence that is imparted by this nakshatra and makes her
an attention seeking, tendency to show off, which was a cover for her
insecurities and lack of confidence. Here it is evident that her insecurities
became her enemy.
Saturn the lord of 7th and 8th house, representing Pada Prapti, increase in status
and sudden events and addictions is in the nakshatra of Vishakha. Vishakha
natives tend to show an inclination towards addiction. As the exalted 7th house
lord, Saturn gave high position to Marilyn but due to its retrograde nature, it was
not too stable.
Rahu being the co-lord of 8th house of sustenance of marriage in the Punarvasu
nakshatra in the 12th house gave multiple marriages. Her many affairs can be
seen from the presence of Rahu, the 8th lord of sex and scandals in the 12th house
of bed pleasures in Punarvasu, the repetitive Nakshatra. Also, as 8th lord of
Death in the 12th house, the elusive Rahu does not allow the reason of her death
to be told to one and all.
Venus, the lord of the 4th house and the 11th house is in the 10th house of
profession and is aspected by a retrograde Saturn. The promptness that is
imparted by Ashwini nakshatra here gets afflicted and Marilyn was reported to
be often late at her work. Ashwini Nakshatra imparted her with the love for
animals and a need to take care of them. She had the charm and the grace that
was required of her as an actress, represented by Venus and also a trait of the
Ashwini nakshatra.
Mars, the lord of the 5th and 10th house, is placed in PurvaBhadra in the 8th house
gave her a lot of trails and tribunals in life and a huge amount of nervous energy
which was concealed as her show off nature and ego.
She suffered an abortion during the time she was separated from the Kennedy
brothers due to excessive depression, drug overdose, etc, displaying a huge
amount of nervous energy. This can be attributed to 5th lord in the 8th house in
PurvaBhadra nakshatra. The sex and scandal with which she rocked the world of
many and was able to pose in the nude was imparted by this nakshatra as well as
Ashlesha, both energies are difficult to handle.
Jupiter, the Karaka of spouse and 9th lord of Bhagya (fate) of marriage and 6th
lord of affairs is in the Dhanishta nakshatra, known for its marital issues and
imparting of feeling of loneliness. Jupiter being a karaka for wealth and placed
in a wealth giving nakshatra made her a very wealthy and courageous lady.
Exmaple 3: Albert Einstein
In 1907, he came up with the immortal e=mc2, better known as the Special
Theory of Relativity, encapsulating energy and matter as aspects of a single
phenomenon. In 1908, while still at the patent office, he began work on his
major achievement, the general theory of relativity, which he officially proposed
in 1916. The theories were the greatest challenge to Newtonian mechanics that
the modern world had ever known.
Very quotable, Einstein described relativity as: “Put your hand on a hot stove for
a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour and it seems
like a minute”.
Over the next decade, Einstein took visiting professorships in England and
America and gave many speeches. He refused to live in Hitler’s Reich and in
1933 moved permanently to Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study, where he
sponsored a steady stream of refugees from Nazism. He became a U.S. citizen in
either 1936 or 1940: two dates exist in his biographical material. He used his
fame in the interests of pacifism and Zionism, but began to reject some of his
pacifist ideals with his growing concern with Hitler’s terror. In 1939, he urged
President Roosevelt to move towards construction of a uranium bomb, since
there was some evidence other countries were also moving in that direction.
In 1952, he was offered the presidency of Israel, but he declined.
His 1st wife, Mileva Maric, was a Serbian who dreamed of becoming a physicist.
She was 21 when she entered the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in
Zurich. She had met Einstein when she was 17 and they were married in 1903.
Contemporary research has shown some indication that Mileva may have helped
Einstein in his work, but it has not been thoroughly substantiated. In 1987 his
letters to her were published and refer frequently to “our research” and “our
work.” They separated in 1914, the same year that Einstein accepted a position
at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin, and divorced in 1919. As part of
his alimony, he promised his future Nobel Prize money, and delivered it three
years later. The couple had two sons, Hans Albert, and Edward. One died in a
mental institution, the other became an engineering professor. New evidence has
surfaced that Mileva gave birth to a baby girl, on 27 January 1902, before their
marriage. The daughter was named Lieserl and soon mysteriously vanished. 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 Syndrome. There is also a speculation that the daughter died at 21 months
and another speculation that she may still be alive. No evidence is available at
this time. Mileva died in 1948.
He married his second wife, Elsa Lowenthal, after he divorced Milefa. She was
the widowed mother of two daughters, and they had known each other as
children. Elsa died in 1936.
At Princeton for the last 22 years of his life, estranged from the mainstream of
contemporary physics, Einstein spent his final years working on a unified field
theory, with faith that there was an ultimate principle that would unite the four
major forces of nature. He was not always comfortable with the theories and
findings in physics for which he had laid the groundwork. A musician by hobby,
he gave up the violin in the last few years of his life, but enjoyed playing Bach
and Mozart on his grand piano.
He was admitted to the hospital on 13 April 1955. He had been at home drafting
a statement for Israel’s Independence Day. He had an aortic aneurysm that could
burst at any time, and this is what eventually killed him.
Analysis
2nd lord of learning Moon is in the 6th house of obstacles so initial school years of
learning was difficult. Moon being in the house of debilitation posed the
difficulties but being in the Jyestha nakshatra, it gave him the ability to fight
those very difficulties and come out victorious. Moon in Jyestha nakshatra and
lagna in Ardra nakshatra indicates his addiction towards pipe.
Sun the 3rd lord in PurvaBhadrapada nakshatra gave him the futuristic vision.
Sun is the 3rd lord of courage and the subconscious mind. His scientific ability
and his inventions which changed the world is because of Sun is placed in the
10th house of profession in the PurvaBhadrapada nakshatra. This Sun is further
propelled by his subconscious mind to work on and become legendary in field of
Science to the extent of being called the Father of Modern Science. A point to
note is that Sun becomes digbali or gets directional strength in the 10th house.
Inventions being the part of this nakshatra and also a strong association with
violence which is also reflected in PurvaBhadrapada, The atom bomb could very
well find its place among the connectivity between PurvaBhadrapada and Ardra
nakshatras.
Venus, the 12th lord of losses and the 5th lord of children is placed in the Revati
nakshatra in the 10th house of career. His prompting and shepherding (guiding)
President Roosevelt to make the mass destructive weapon as the atom bomb
which caused the loss to many lives the world over finds resonance in this
nakshatra. Venus, though it is exalted but it is conjunct with malefics, hence his
guidance proved devastating.
Mars, which is the lord of the 6th house of obstacles and the 11th house of family
and spouse is in the 8th house of research and sustenance of marriage in Uttara
Ashada nakshatra. This nakshatra imparts him the final success in whatever he
does in his life. In this case, it is his research, but because it is afflicted with
Rahu he could not sustain his married life because of this affliction. He was able
to work through the obstacles that were presented by the 6th lord Mars, because
the UttaraAshada nakshatra finally gives victory and the ability to overcome all
the losses. It made him a person who was unafraid of constant confrontations
and a person who was highly ambitious. Since, he was so passionate about his
work and had enormous creativeness that he found difficulty in finding the right
kind of life partner which also is shown by UttaraAshada nakshatra and more so
by Mars which happens to be the 11th lord of family and spouse.
Shravana nakshatra imparts obedience, but because this is afflicted by Rahu he
became highly disobedient and a rebel in his youth. In later part of his life he
became totally reclusive from his social circle, which is driven by Rahu’s
affliction. Shravana is a very social nakshatra.
Ketu which is present in the 2nd house of knowledge in Pushya nakshatra shows
the attributes of Pushya of being wise and also circumspect. Again, marital
issues can be seen from this nakshatra as Ketu is placed in the 2nd house of
family. Goal orientation and prosperity is another attribute that this Nakshatra
imparts to the 2nd house.
Jupiter, 7th and 10th lord in the 9th house give him a marriage where he had met
his first wife during his training at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in
Zurich. Dhanishta nakshatra which is known to show discord in marital life, here
shows his divorce from his first wife and later on death of his second wife. This
nakshatra also made him very accomplished as a person. It also shows the art the
love for music and the ability to manifest from nothing. The idea of the atom
bomb which actually shows manifestation from nothing can also be attributed to
the Jupiter present in this nakshatra. E = mc2 can also find resonance in this
nakshatra because from this nakshatra it purports that mass is just an extension
of energy.
Saturn, the 8th lord of research and 9th lord of teaching and divine knowledge is
also placed in the 10th house in UttaraBhadra nakshatra. This imparts in him the
ability to see things from all angles, a necessary attribute in a scientist and to act
accordingly. His research was the key to his success and Uttara Bhadrapada is
that nakshatra where a person benefits while helping others, a scheme that fits
like the glove for Einstein. This nakshatra also shows travel and Einstein had to
travel a lot on account of his research once he started getting acclamation for it.
Analysis through Operating Nature of
Nakshatras
All 27 nakshatras are divided into seven groups of different nature, which
signifies and shows how they operate. The classification of these nakshatras into
seven groups is as following:
Observation:
Ketu, the lord of the 4th house of masses is in the 10th house of
profession in Rohini nakshatra, a sthira or a lasting nakshatra.
The Lagna lord and the 11th and 2nd lord are in the Pushya Nakshatra
which is a Shipra or swift nakshatra.
He has his Lagna and Yogakaraka Mars in Magha nakshatra, a kingly
and royal nakshatra bestowing a legacy.
Magha is an Ugra or fierce nakshatra which deals with heat and hot
things (temper). This combination is very similar to that of Donald
Trump.
Now Mars is natural karaka of hot, fierce things & nature, other than
that it is a significator of machines, motors, engines, engineering &
fire power. So maybe his he was king in motors & engines.
Other than that he had Venus & Saturn in 2nd house which deals with
family heritage and legacy along with wealth (and mainly luxury due
to Venus).
Saturn Venus combination is known as Diya Yoga which leaves a
legacy (or name) after death.
While Venus & Saturn are shown in 2nd house in Uttara Phalguni
which is a Sthira nakshatra, so here our jigsaw puzzle is complete.
Planets in Sthira Nakshatra in 2nd house of family & lineage gives a
long lasting name and fame to a person and his family.
Another validation of this is presence of Rahu in 4th house, which
represents home or can also say house or dynasty. Maybe Rahu
expanded his Ford dynasty.
