“Horary Astrology & Cuspal Interlinks” 1

Acharya Rajneesh (Osho) Horoscope

Introduction to the book

The broader-minded authorities believe that the predictive branch of

Astrology needs considerable co-operative research effort by sincere and
dedicated persons so as to develop a Scientific Astrological System. This
book is yet another effort in this direction. I have tried to elucidate the
Theory upon which each aspect of predictive technique used in Sub-Sub and
Cuspal Interlinks philosophy is based. I hope learned persons will read this
rare treatise on Astrology which is in fact, a synthesis of Nakshatra,
Navamsa and Nadiamsa concepts of our ancient astrological systems.

Analysis of natal chart is a Herculean task. Human life is very complex. To

break this complexity into smaller chains to delineate every thing about a
particular aspect is an awful experience. Moreover, to construct a true natal
chart itself tests the capability and patience of the Astrologer. Horary
Astrology at least places the Astrologer in a much comfortable position as
far as the construction of chart is concerned. A little sincere effort is required
by the Astrologer to check the genuineness of the chart and make prediction
to the relevant query of the person who has come to consult the Astrologer.
The reader’s dedication, devotion and the open minded approach will bring
rewards.

I have strong conviction that a scientific Astrological system has to account

for individual differences. Any concept or rule that does not contribute to the
uniqueness of the horoscope should not be accepted as a predictive tool.
Thus, I do not take into consideration the Retrogression & Combustion of
planets or even Aspect Theory (western or Indian). These do not change fast
enough to account for uniqueness of horoscope.

“Horary Astrology and Cuspal Interlinks” is a book on predictive Astrology

based on the Sub-Sub and Cuspal Interlinks Theory. It is in tune with the
Nadi and Navamsa concept of Nadi Astrology. I have tried to make a humble
attempt to handle the subject of Horary Astrology in simple, lucid and
scientific way. Topics pertaining to each house have been dealt to enable the
reader to master the scientific way of predictive techniques. Timing events
and use of Transits have been explained in very clear, practical, illustrative
and rational basis. Hope these efforts to unearth the ancient concepts of
Astrology will make the readers proud of Astrology.

To conclude I would request the readers to remember that horary chart is not
a substitute for a true natal chart. It should be analysed only for a particular
aspect upon which the mind of the native was focused at that time. It can,
however, be used as a supporting tool when analysing a natal chart.

May god bless all the readers.

Example 9.5 Analysis of Acharya Rajneesh’s chart: Various learned

astrologers have analysed the charts of saints and revolutionary thinkers and
justified their achievements as per the strength of the rising Ascendant, and
placement of planets in the chart. Their expositions, no doubt, match
excellence and brilliance of highest quality. Their efforts beautifully
demonstrate their knowledge in the field of Astrology. Often I wonder, if
during the Ascendant a saint or great spiritual leader was born, when
the planetary positions were so excellent then why only a particular
saint or a thinker. The great revolutionary thinker of the twentieth century,
Acharya Rajneesh, is reported to be born on 11.12.1931 in a Village
Kuchwara, in District Raisen in Madya Pradesh, India. These details have
been obtained by great effort by my friend Mr. P.K. Jain, a senior
Government officer. Fig 9.5 represents the natal chart of Acharya Rajneesh. I
have made an attempt to analyse the chart through my theory of Sub-Sub
lord and Cuspal Interlinks with a view to answer the question “Why only
one Acharya Rajneesh?” during the Ascendant which was rising at that time.

Check of Accuracy: It was difficult to know the time of Birth. Different

authors have taken different time but all concentrated on the time period
between 17.00 hours and 18.00 hours. Efforts were made to find out from
persons close to Acharya Rajneesh so as to confirm this time period. The
rectified chart is placed in fig 9.5 above.

Possibility of more persons of Acharya Rajneesh’s calibre is limited to about

one minute of the Astrological birth time of Acharya Rajneesh. This is so
because the Sub-Sub arc of Mercury in Mercury Sub is of 16 minutes and 2
second longitude. The ideal rate of rising of Ascendant is fifteen minutes per
one minute of time. During the span of 16 minutes and 2 second longitude
itself, the cuspal positions vary to account for the individuality of a specific
birth. The analysis is not limited to planetary positions but is based on cuspal
interlinks of Sub-Sub arcs of different cuspal positions, which change even
for a birth difference in seconds.

Accuracy of Chart: Kindly refer my book “True Horoscope” published by

Sagar Publishers where the criteria for an accurate horoscope have been
explained.

A. Ascendant: Ascendant rises in Male Sign and the Sub-Sub arc of the
Ascendant is in the first half. Mercury the Sub-Sub lord of Ascendant
is in the Sub-Sub of Venus who is placed in Male Sign. This accounts
for the sex of Acharya Rajneesh. The Sub-Sub lord of the Ascendant is
in Venus Star and Acharya took birth when Moon was in Purvashada
Nakshatra.

Acharya Rajneesh in one of his discourses made a very bold and courageous
statement about himself. He said, “I cannot create a religion….. I am
consistently inconsistent.” This attribute of consistent inconsistence can be
justified only if Mercury rules the Sub-Sub arc in Gemini. His boldness and
courage is due to the fact that this Sub-Sub arc of Mercury is part of
Mrigashira Nakshatra that rises on the Ascendant. As the legend goes,
Mercury was produced out of the union of Moon with Jupiter’s wife Tara.
This can be interpreted as the birth of intellect (Mercury), as a result of the
union of mind and wisdom (Jupiter). Intellect is a concept which is a more
conscious force, which governs over the largely unconscious mind. The
particular astrological birth time when the soul of Acharya Rajneesh
incarnated has to be ruled by the Sub-Sub arc of Mercury in Mrigashira
Nakshatra to announce the birth of a person whose prime objective will be

“Horary Astrology & Cuspal Interlinks” 6
Acharya Rajneesh (Osho) Horoscope

searching for new mental, emotional or physical experiences. Here in the

chart Mercury is placed in the fiery and dual Sign Sagittarius in Purvashada
Nakshatra. This Nakshatra translates into “Former Invincible One’ or the
“Former Unconquered”. The influence of Purvashada on Mercury is to
infuse the native with attributes like adventurous spirit, wild exuberance, and
philosophical zeal.

B. Educational Status: It is known that Acharya had post graduation

degree in philosophy. The Sub-Sub lord of 4th cusp is Rahu who has
positional status. Rahu is also the Sub-Sub lord of the 9 th cusp. Rahu is
in Saturn star that is the Sign lord of 9 th house and is the Sub-Sub lord
of the 11th cusp. This clearly promises higher education. Rahu, the
Sub-Sub lord of the 9th cusp has positional status and thus becomes
Significator of 9th house which accounts for Acharya’s doing post
graduation in philosophy.

C. Teaching Assignment: Acharya Rajneesh, it is said, served as a

lecturer for some time. One can take teaching as a profession if the
Sub-Sub lord of the 4th or 9th cusp involves the 10th cusp through its
star lord and commits to 2nd or 6th cusp. Here in the chart we find Rahu
is the Sub-Sub lord of both 4th and 9 th cusp. It is in Saturn star who is
the lord of 10th cusp. Its Sub lord is Venus who is the Sub and Sub-Sub
lord of the 6th cusp. So the horoscope promises teaching as a
profession. But Venus is also the Sub lord of the 5th cusp. This
accounts for temporary asSignment.

D. Time of Death: Acharya’s soul left the physical body on 19.1.1990 at

about 17.30 hours. The Dasa period running at that time was: Jupiter
-Sun-Mercury -Rahu-Mercury. Sun was transiting in Sun star and
Mercury Sub. Moon was transiting in Rahu Star that represents
Jupiter. Readers can themselves see that all planets and transit of Sun
and Moon justify death. Timing death has been explained in chapter 1
in my new book “Horary and Cuspal Interlinks”. However, I dare to
say that Mercury the Sub-Sub lord of 8th cusp is in fiery Sign
Sagittarius. The 8th cusp itself rises on Sagittarius Sign. Mercury
being in Venus star, Venus Sub and Venus Sub-Sub indicates an
unnatural death. Venus is the star lord of 8 th and 12th cuspal positions.
Venus also occupies the fiery Sign Sagittarius. Is it that all saints have
unnatural deaths? Some traditionalists, therefore, use the concept of
Ichchha Mrityu(Death as per one’s own desire or euthanasia).

However, in religious context the death oh a saint is kwon as Samadhi

Maran.

Mystic Unity or Enlightenment

Astrology is both Esoteric and Exoteric. Esoteric Astrology deals with the
abstract cause, the philosophy and inner or more subtle point of view.
Exoteric Astrology is content with the effect, the practice, and the concrete
or outer expression. It operates on the concepts which work in our Time and
Space domain. Thus we say that any significant occurrence or event happens
in the life of a person if it is promised. The time of happening of the event is
decided by the Dasa period lords who possess the capability to enact that
event. The event is defined in Astrology by comparing its nature with the
significations of a particular house called the primary house and also
deciding the supporting houses.

It is reported that Acharya Rajneesh had spiritual awakening or

enlightenment on 21.3.1953. The learned astrologers have tried to explain
this happening by the Dasa period which was running on 21.3.1953. How
far an astrologer is justified to treat enlightenment as an event in terms
of Exoteric or Esoteric Astrology? What is enlightenment? Who can
define enlightenment? Acharya Rajneesh in one of his discourses explained
the paradoxical statement of the great Laotse, who said,

“He who knows does not speak. He who speaks does not know.” Mystic
unity is an experience of the individual and no language is capable to
express it even by the most eloquent words.

“For words, like nature, half reveal

And half conceal the soul within.”

Tennyson.

Acharya Rajneesh, however, gave a hint when he said, “It is like suicide
and resurrection both. You are in the world and yet you are not in the
world.”

How can we explain this astrologically? Planets in Signs at the time when a
soul incarnates represent the soul power or the evolutionary stage of
individual soul, and House positions, on the other hand, are concrete

“Horary Astrology & Cuspal Interlinks” 8
Acharya Rajneesh (Osho) Horoscope

expressions of mundane affairs of life in the physical body. But do the

planets position in Signs or Houses change within the span of time the
particular Ascendant Sign rises? Any explanation to justify Acharya’s
spiritual awakening on the basis of analysis of Rashi chart or by the
divisional charts as they are constructed and analysed to day, can not account
for the fact that only one Acharya Rajneesh took birth at that time.

The Sub-Sub and Cuspal Interlink Theory narrows down the time gap
between individual births to few seconds. It uses the cuspal significations
which change fast enough and accounts for individual differences. It can,
specifically account for Acharya’s growth of spiritual discipline and birth of
only one Acharya Rajneesh. At the time of Mystic union, Acharya was
running the Sookshma of Moon and Prana of Jupiter. Moon is in Venus star
and Saturn Sub. Thus Moon is linked through its Star lord with cusps 5, 8
and 12 and to cusps 9 and 11 though its Sub lord. Jupiter is in Mercury Star
and Saturn Sub. Thus Jupiter is also linked through its Star lord with cusps
1,5,8,9,12 and commits to 9th and 11th cusps (only relevant linkages have
been shown). These linkages indicate what Acharya said, “It is suicide and
resurrection.”. For suicide cusps 1, 8 and 12 are involved and for
resurrection 9 and 11 are involved. Suicide here only means: “Being in the
world and yet not in the world”. It is identification of the soul as separate
from the physical body.

Spiritual philosophy of Acharya is as per what the 9 th cusp and Ascendant

promise. Ninth cusp in Acharya’s chart rises in Capricorn, the 10 th Sign in
the natural Zodiac and Shravna Nakshatra ruled by Moon. The Sub-Sub arc
of the ninth cusp is Rahu that represents Jupiter and Saturn. Rahu is placed
in Pisces, the 12th Sign of the natural Zodiac ruled by Jupiter. Rahu is in
Uttrabhadrapad Star the symbol of this Nakshatra is a serpent with two and
Half Coil, symbolising the kundalini, the primeval force at the base of spine
in human beings. This asterism symbolises enlightenment through the
awakening of all the seven vital centres (Chakra) through the rising of
kundalini. Blending the influence of Capricorn and Pisces, the Sub-Sub arc
of Rahu indicates that Acharya was destined to be a great spiritualist who
himself will follow spirituality in word and spirit. But Rahu as Saturn in the
fiery Sign Sagittarius reveals that Acharya’s quest must have begun with a
bang. Blending it with the Sign Capricorn rising on the 9th cusp indicates that
Acharya had to be disinterested in everything. Such a person pays no
importance to religious practices and performance of traditional rituals.

Acharya Rajneesh (Osho) Horoscope

Rahu as Jupiter in Cancer speaks of the person getting acquainted with

spiritual teachings and traditional scriptures but often meets with frustration.

We can talk and talk on Acharya Rajneesh as he appeared to the world. But
we cannot speak what he actually experienced on 21.3.1953. To fathom the
depth of Acharya’s wisdom from the postulates of Astrology is only a far
fetched imagination of the Astrologers. His insight is incisive, his
freshness and dynamism speaks of his consistent inconsistency and we
cannot conceive of anything which transcend his ego.
