Wealth and Love in a Chart - James Goldsmith




"French-British financier and politician, tycoon and founder of the Referendum Party. He was one of the most charismatic, controversial, and colorful tycoons of the past four decades, singularly bold and a fearless risk taker."(Astrodatabank).

In once sentence this describes the personality of one of the wealthiest men in the world. What are the indications of wealth in his chart? Why was he a politician and fearless gambler? Let's take a look...

First of all we notice that he has Aries Lagna with Lagna lord in the 5th house. It is strong for several of the following reasons:

1. It is retrograde. (A retrograde planet is stronger than normal because it is closer to Earth during retrogression, therefore being a stronger influence in the course of the native’s life)
2. It is aspected by its own despositor, the Sun.
3. It is conjunct strong retrograde Jupiter, which is also 9th lord (of good fortune).
4. The final despositor (despositor of Sun), is Saturn, which is involved in a very strong Mahapurush Sasa Yoga. Saturn upholds all the planets in this chart, because it is the final despositor of every single planet. Being in a very strong yoga, in the strongest Kendra (angle/10th house) it lifts up the whole chart to a higher octave.
5. The lords indicative of wealth are the 2nd, 5th, and 11th lord. Lagna lord is in good house positions from two out of three lords. 2nd lord is Venus (Mars is in a 1/7 axis with Venus). 5th lord is Sun (Mars is in a 1/7 axis with Sun). 11th lord is Saturn (Mars is in a 6/8 position with Saturn). It isn’t in the best position in regards to the 11th lord, but since Saturn is the final despositor and in a very strong Mahapurush Yoga, its position in relation to Mars becomes subservient to all other factors mentioned.

These were five reasons for giving Lagna Lord strength in this chart. Remember that for the chart to give its promised results, Lagna Lord has to be rendered strong in some significant way.

The 5th house is indicative of entertainment, gambling, wealth, love and infatuation, politics, creativity, children, and past-life credit. All of these significations were very prominent in the life of Mr. James Goldsmith.

He was known to be a gambler from an early age. Later in life, many of his successful business dealings were characterized by risky financial moves. He had gambling traits deeply ingrained in his personality. Besides his business and gambling inclinations, he was very much involved in politics.

He was also known to be a lady’s man from an early age, and all throughout his lifetime. The 5th house is the house of fun, joy, entertainment, and love-life. This is one of the reasons why (in general) 7th lord in the 5th house may not be the best placement for one’s love-life. Simply because one is in love with love itself. One desires to live in a life of fantasy and infatuation regarding relationships. In this case 7th lord Venus is in the 11th, aspecting the 5th house. Venus also represents love. So in this case, Venus has a desire to fulfill 5th house significations in a Venusian way - and one of those ways is through love, infatuation, love-affairs, etc. These desires make it difficult for one to be in a steady monogamous and peaceful marriage. With Venus aspecting, and Lagna Lord Mars in the 5th house, no wonder Mr. Goldsmith was a lady’s man!
Now let’s take a closer look at indications of wealth:

2nd, 5th, and 11th lords have to be mutually involved somehow. It is also desirable for Lagna lord to be involved in this influence.

  • 2nd lord Venus is in the 11th house.
  • 5th lord Sun is in the 11th house.
  • 11th lord Saturn is the despositor of all these planets, in the strongest kendra, in a Mahapurusa Yoga: Sasa Yoga.
  • Lagna Lord Mars is in the 5th, aspected by, and aspecting both 2nd and 5th lords.
  • Mars is also conjunct the natural significator for wealth Jupiter, and aspected by another significator for wealth and good fortune: Venus. Both Jupiter and Venus are double significators by their karaka nature, as well as their house ownerships (Jupiter owns 9th house of fortune, and Venus owns 2nd house of wealth).
  • Venus, 2nd lord, is also in a very strong Malavya Yoga in the Navamsa Chart. It is in the 1st house in its own sign, Libra.
  • Talk about a strong 2nd and 5th lord conjunction in the 11th house aspected by and aspecting Lagna Lord!! And all this with 11th lord in a strong Mahapurush Yoga! Wow! This chart screams "wealth and prosperity please!"


There are many other yogas, raja yogas, and patterns which indicate fame, wealth, prosperity, and excellent fortune in Mr. James Goldsmith’s chart. But this was just a quick bird’s-eye view of his chart and its indications of wealth.

Yogi, Avayogi - Prosperity and Obstruction

What exactly are the planets which are called "Yogi, Avayogi, and Duplicate Yogi?" In Vedic Astrology these are actually very important planets you should know about. Without knowing this, you miss out on very important and accurate predictions in your readings.  So let's get to the core of the matter right away. These are their definitions: Yogi: This is the planet which gives rise to prosperity in the best way it can. Avayogi: This is the planet which obstructs prosperity in the best way it can. Duplicate Yogi: This is the planet which supports prosperity, although to a lesser degree than the Yogi. Now that you know what these planets represent, how to analyze them in your chart? The easiest way to begin is to see what Dasa/Bhukti you are running. Are you running the Dasa or Bhukti of either the Yogi, Avayogi, or Duplicate Yogi? That is the most direct way. If you are not running the Dasa or Bhukti, check to see if the Dasa/Bh...

Mesha (Aries) Personality Traits

Mesha is a fire sign ruled by the planet Mars. It is the first sign of the zodiac, which is symbolically related to the first house of Vedic Astrology, a Dharma house (Read The Four Aims of Life: The Purusharthas).  Thus, just like the other Dharma houses and signs, Mesha people feel they have a strong sense of purpose to fulfill in life. People with this sign strong in their charts will have a strong sense of self and individuality. They will want to be first in everything they do, so they tend to be very competitive. They have a lot of energy, strength, will-power, and strong desires. Mesha people love action and have a strong desire to help others less fortunate.  They like to have a story in life and be the hero of that story, and one of the ways of doing this is through fighting for the underdog.  Mesha loves getting involved in causes and helping the oppressed in one way or another.  This involvement is their noble way of coming to the rescue and being chi...

How are Divisional Charts Used in Vedic Astrology? Jackie Kennedy's Chart

There is a lot of contradiction on how divisional charts are used in Jyotish.  Some astrologers only look at the sign a planet is placed in.  They then look at the lord of that sign and see if it is strong or weak in the Rasi chart.  However, they claim that Yogas and Aspects are not to be used in divisional charts. This is one section that I strongly disagree with.  And I abide by my teacher, James Kelleher, in the way he uses divisional charts. A divisional chart should be read exactly like a birth chart, but in relation to the particular chart you are looking at.  So if you are looking a the Navamsha, it stands for spouse.  If you are looking at the D-7 chart, it stands for children.  If you are looking at the D-10 chart it stands for career.  So the particular Yoga in the chart will focus in on only that area of your life. Let us take an example at why we analyze a divisional chart just as we analyze a Rasi chart, including Yogas and asp...
