Understanding of the tragic death of Robin Williams through Vedic astrology (jyotish)

D-1 and D-9 of Robin Williams

The news of the death of Robin Williams has affected many fans.

I see that some of vedic astrologers have already tried to understand this tragedy through the chart analysis, etc.


Although I am not a jyotishi, I would like to bring some points as well in order to understand this mystery.

I use Jagannatha Hora software, so if you are using other software, the calculation may be different. Since this blog is intended as a supplement for the vedic astrologers and friends, so I may skip some explanation.

I usually look at the main birth chart and D-9, the Dasha of the subject, and the transit.

I also look at the nakshatras and Yogi/Ava-Yogi points.

First, Robin was going through Ketu Mahadasha.

This incident took place in the dasha of: Ke/Me/Me/Mo/Ju

I'm including Praana-antardasa.

In Robin's natal chart, Ketu reside with Venus in Leo ruled by Sun which is Badakesha for Tula lagna, and they are in Purva Pharguni ruled by Venus, which happened to be where the Yogi point is.

By transit, Ketu has been in Meena, and it is where Jupiter(Guru) is in his natal chart which happens to be in the 12th house.

Moon is with Rahu in 11th house of Aquarius in natal chart, and at the time of his death, Moon was transiting Aquarius (Shatabhisha ruled by Rahu) as well.

By transit, Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus were with Badakesha, Sun, and Mercury was combust and near the natal Mercury position and almost sandi in Cancer. Mercury happens to be Robin's Atmakaraka (Jupiter his Amk).

3rd from natal Mercury is Sani (Saturn), and Sani is in 12th house of Virgo. I have read that Mercury can negatively affect the planets placed 3rd from it.

(i.e. Barbara Pijan-ji)

Ava Yogi point is Purva Bhadrapada, and it is ruled by Jupiter.

Jupiter is neecha in D-9.

Sani in D-9 is in Shatabhisha (ruled by Rahu) nearing the transit Moon and natal Moon.

Moon in D-9 is in Purva Bhadrapada which is near Robin's Ava Yogi point.

Badakesha Surya in D-9 is in his own house of Leo/Purva Phalguni (near Yogi point/ Natal Ketu and Venus).

The lists go on and on.

It must have been really challenging for Robin.

I hope you will join me in the prayer for Robin for the safe and healing journey after life.

Thank you,

Blessings,

Hikaru

Reflection on the Hiroshima Day through Astro Boy - - - ( 鉄腕アトムに想う)

He is known in the US as "Astro Boy", but his original name is "Atom (アトム)," and as you may know, he is an atomic energy generated/powered robot created in the image of its creator scientist Dr. Tenma's deceased child, Tobio.

Instead of spreading the hatred and fear towards the atomic energy and its creators, the author Osamu Tezuka (手塚 治虫)
created Atom to courageously face the future of mankind and still deeply care for the humanity.
 
"Tetsuwan Atom / 鉄腕アトム (Mighty Atom)" was written in 1952 and made its debut on Japanese TV as a cartoon show in 1963.
I along with many of the post-WW II generations grew up watching this show and listening to its opening song written by Shuntarō Tanikawa (谷川俊太郎) as a lyricist and composed by Tatsuo Takai (高井 達雄).
I always feel energized and inspired after listening to this title song.
There is the phrase in the first verse in the title song saying, "kokoro yasashi... kagaku no ko", and that is one of the phrases
I love listening while reflecting how I am and must be towards the world.
It can roughly translated as "kind hearted, child of science".

The word,"yasashii," is usually translated as"to be kind (hearted)," but it also means "to be gentle, compassionate, and caring".
It is a revolutionary thinking to imagine the robot having compassionate, caring heart.

Another phrase I like is at the beginning of the second verse where it says, "mimi wo sumase, me wo mihare" which roughly means
"listen intently and watch/see/observe carefully".
At first, we are lead to think that the words are meant for Atom/Astro Boy, warning him to not to get tricked into corruption
by the enemy ("yudan wo suru na"), but soon we can realize that the words are meant for all of us.
To me it goes even beyond the "warning".
It reminds me of the compassion of Kannon/Kanzeon, the Bodhisattva who "sees" the cry(sound) of the mankind".

Let us be like Atom and be progressively caring and just.
