Daya Mata Birthday Chart

CONSIDERING SRF IN A NUTSHELL
Clumsy Yoga won't fit you, is the bet.
If a person's horoscope is true, it suits the "biography": the most significant life happenings of an individual. When a person is old, then, we have a good chance to see how far the birthday chart (birthday horoscope) is a good, general (wide) indicator of the person.
      Carl G. Jung says he always had cast a horoscope in difficult cases, and that it helped him.

   Supporting reservations are presupposed throughout:


Introduction

We searched a while about birthday charts. People (and dogs?) born on the same day and same place should have similar profiles among interests and wide goals in life, according to theory. Those who look into such things, should be the right ones to ascertain such a matter.
      Those who know ladies in their seventies and eighties, and feel sure these ladies have fulfilled themselves, realized their assets much, may feel free to write to us about it. We should bear in mind that most people - on northern latitudes at least - are a conform bunch, and that conformism can hinder, not help the individual to manifest and get happy and so on.

Another question:

Inquiry: No SURF books shows her in samadhi with people supporting her. Maybe it's just me, but . . .

Hm! Has she herself told or established anything grossly different from what she has lived, told and acted out? To top



Drastic Wisdom

Astrology: mainly for money, occasionally for entertainment, and so on

CONSIDERING DRAGON ASTROSOPHY
  • Surface is surface, and useful as that. There is no need to dispense with it.

Western astrology appears to disfavour those who set out to swindle the whole, wide universe

What should help anyone is the prepare the individual's progress through life, In part it is done by not getting overly involved in some tedious and daily happenings (that may be indicated in Western (Babylonian) astrology. others too. In SRF they learn to wear astrological bangles. There is an Indian tradition about these things. Suffice to say this:
  • It could be largely OK to set out to swindle the universe by wearing such as gems and a valuable bangle if "things" otherwise are likely to take a bad turn, provided that we make no offence or grave mistake thereby.
This wisdom is hard-won. A certain insider astrology surely backs up this short discourse (Reden): It could be fit for someone who should retire in some way, for example from mayhem -
  • To retire from the retirement life of a nun, that is a lot of retirement, which makes a cosier life possible too.

Futuristic Outlooks

Deeper and more relevant to the individual than surface astrology of the West is the ancient "Dracology" of the East. It may not be very easy to come by. What is shown by "Drascopy" (Dragon Horoscopy) seems to make up about 80-90 percent of the real issues involved in an individual's life fare. Correspondingly, common and surface Western horoscopy shows too little and may also be very misleading in that larger "Drastrology" picture.

Mother Daya

When we don't know the exact time of birth, only the day, we are at liberty to put the time of birth to noon that day, for that gives a middling value to the chart in question. All house positions are lost by it, and the exact placement of the moon is dropped too. But the rest of the birth horoscope is intact, and should contain many wonderful lessons.
      Specifically, then, I don't have her exact moment/hour of birth, so the Ascendant (beginning of the 1st house), Descendant (beginning of the 7th house), MC (start of the 10th house) and IC (Nadir, or beginning of the 4th house) and all the horoscope houses are not known, and the moon's position is uncertain by up to six degrees. In the charts that are supplied, don't reckon with any of them, then. There is still left plenty of information to dig into for those who care.
      These things to think about Daya Yama or Daya Yama, happen to be a Birthday Certificate or "Tentative Portrait" of all females born on 31 Jan 1914 in (or near) Salt Lake City, Utah, Mormons or otherwise. Below I give many horoscope points fit for someone (maybe anyone on two legs with or without a cane) born on that day in that place.
The ordinary Western Horoscope with the Ascendant, MC, IC and Descendants shown, may serve us in showing the first phases of life in particular. It could be thought of as a Surface Gate to the person in question.

Sun in Aquarius

Daya Yama (you may have met the name on the Fat Sea Lion board) appears to be a freedom-loving, strong-willed, and independent- minded individual, and she insists upon living her own life as she sees fit, even if that means ignoring convention and tradition. In personal relationships she cannot be owned or possessed, and while she is willing to share herself with another, she does not always adjust easily to the emotional give and take of a close relationship. Though intellectually open, she can be enormously stubborn, opinionated, and inflexible on a one-to-one level. She has strong convictions and feelings about fairness and equality, and she tries to live by her ideals, but her ideals about how people SHOULD treat one another don't always take into account human weaknesses, differences, and needs. She probably dislikes sentimentality and traditional gender roles and "games".
      She is fair, intelligent, objective, rational and often let her head rule rather than her heart. She seems rather self-sufficient and detached emotionally because she is capable of putting aside her personal feelings and viewing things dispassionately. But once she makes up her mind on an issue, she can be rather dogmatic.
      She thinks in broad terms and is concerned with the world beyond her own personal sphere - her town, nation, or even planet. She is likely to become involved in community affairs, social organizations, and groups of all kinds, or to have a keen interest in such. She enjoys being part of a group endeavour and often finds herself organizing, managing, or supervising group activities. She enjoys organising activities.
      Forward-looking and progressive, she harbours great hopes for the future. She stays current and up to date, and responds to contemporary cultural trends, both in terms of personal style and in terms of ideas. When young she was very influenced by her peers and by group pressures and by all the "latest crazes". She has an experimental mind and is attracted by the novel.
      Her strong points include her concern for human welfare and social betterment, her sense of fairness and democratic spirit, and her vision. Her faults are her stubbornness and inflexibility, and a tendency to be very obtuse and insensitive when it comes to personal feelings and human needs.
      She likes new things and new ideas and is bored by old ways of thinking and acting. She is an individualist and a free spirit, but at the same time she needs to work and share her life with other people.
      However, even though she is attracted to new ideas, once she has made up her mind she doesn't change her thinking.
      Because of her fondness for new ideas, she enjoys studying subjects that enable people to control the world in some way. As she gets older, she may be attracted to more offbeat studies, such as astrology and the occult.
      When she is with a group of friends, she thinks about the group as a whole rather than just about herself. This can cause problems for her if her needs conflict with the needs of the rest of the group. She will stand up for anyone who is not being treated fairly.

Sun in Aquarius, Moon in Aries

Daya Yama's nature is essentially firm and quiet without much self-expression. Yet a great deal of determination can be read into her silence. Her will is exceptionally strong, and she must have things her own way, basically. She is capable of going to extremes in exerting her will over others. Her perceptions are highly acute, and she is an accurate judge of human nature. Her abilities lie in investigating, coordinating, and synthesizing, which she uses to achieve a personal understanding of the truths of the world.
      In love she remains independent; however, her feelings are easily aroused. Here, too, she wants to take the lead in establishing the course of the relationship.
      The key to a more harmonious self lies in learning to submit to working and cooperating with others, even though it is (read: was indeed) difficult for her to accept a subordinate position.

She is loving and well-loved by others, and has a strong need for kindness, friendship, and affection. Her artistic and creative powers are also well developed and she does everything in a harmonious, gracious, pleasing manner. Aesthetics is very important to her. Her personal appearance and attractiveness is also very important to her.
      She has a magnetic charm to which people is naturally attracted. People like her. Her inner knowledge of people aids greatly in getting along with others. Because she has a second sense for what to say to people, she needs to guard against mere people-pleasing, which can reduce her diplomatic skills to some form of self-seeking manipulation. She is aesthetic and has a certain inclination toward all that is beautiful. She was thought of as a cute child; if her interests in self refinement are cultivated in her adult years, she becomes a truly beautiful person.

Realistic and practical, she set goals for herself that are modest enough for her to actually achieve. She is able to tackle long, difficult projects and see them through, for her possesses self-discipline, concentration, and perseverance. She also has a strong sense of responsibility and is very conscientious in fulfilling her obligations. Often she does things because she feels it is expected of her.
      Her upbringing, family, and personal history lead her to expect the good in life. Her lofty expectations underlie the "lucky breaks" that come to her. Her personality has a cautious, serious, and disciplined ingredient that supports her vision of life which is practical and specific but also limited. Her productivity is linked to her instinct for finding the "law of gravity" operating through the centre of any project.

Her Moon in Aries

The Moon shows how she is supported and how she supports others. Much of what is conditioned in her life is represented by the Moon which is why it symbolizes early life, especially family, her mother, and other important influences that has shaped her. It is about habits that she has come to accept and often don't think about. The Moon governs her reactions, particularly based on feelings.
      She is very high spirited and quite courageous, although other people may not realize this until they have made her angry. She is quite independent, and she does not care if anyone agrees with her.
      When her feelings are aroused, she can be impulsive and careless. However, when she settles down, she forgets her anger very quickly and doesn't hold a grudge. As she grows older, she must learn to be more in control of herself.

Her Mercury in Aquarius

Roving Mercury moves easily from idea to idea and has always represented the mental process including how and what Daya Yama communicates whether by phone, letter, fax, email, spoken or unspoken. Mercury connects and puts things together, and it shows what kind of thinker she is and how she learns. It also is about movement and how quickly she responds to the information she receives.
      She is a progressive thinker, open and receptive to new technologies and breakthroughs in science, and the latest discoveries in any field. She has high expectations and a deep belief that mankind's problems can be solved through the use of creative intelligence and inventive mind. She has no patience for very different outlooks than hers - those whose conservative, unimaginative outlook limits their capacity to find solutions and envision a better future. She also likes to keep abreast of current developments in world affairs, for she "instinctively" knows that what happens in one part of the world affects everyone. She has a strong humanitarian impulse. Practically speaking, she has an aptitude for organization and she enjoys being involved in cooperative endeavours or businesses that are contemporary and innovative.

Her Venus is Not Fickle - It is in Aquarius

Venus rules Daya Yama's values and how she evaluates whatever is around her. When she appraises or appreciate something, whether another person or a new car - It represents her capacity to love and go for the good things in life as well as who or what attracts her. Venus shows her ability to have a good time and how she enjoys herself. When she goes shopping or is on a spending spree, it is Venus that allows her to take pleasure in the good things of life.
      Daya Yama is open and basically unconventional in love and romance - and in her attitude towards love, romance, and sex. She enjoys socializing, bringing people together, and having many friends of both sexes. She values friendship very highly and is, in fact, more comfortable being a friend than a lover. She desires an intellectual rapport or spiritual bond with her love partner, but intimacy and deep, satisfactory emotional bonding does not come easily to her. The role of "husband" or "wife" in the traditional sense doesn't appeal to her, and she abhors jealousy and possessiveness since she feels that no person truly "belongs" to another. She appreciates a love partner who will allow her plenty of freedom and is not very emotionally demanding.
      She is friendly with people but sometimes she finds it difficult to form close relationships. She prefers friends who ares somehow exciting and different.
      She enjoys being popular and she works well with other people in group projects and team efforts. She understands immediately what is good for the group and can adjust her own goals to fit.
      Daya Yama is excitable, spontaneous, and easily aroused emotionally and sexually. She falls in love very quickly and has little self-restraint or concern for propriety when her feelings have been stirred. However, it may be difficult for her to sustain a relationship after the first rush of excitement wanes, especially if her partner is basically a conservative person who does not like to change or experiment. Non-traditional relationships appeal to her, and personal freedom is highly important to her.
      She is humanitarian, idealistic, intuitive and impressionistic in love. If she is interested in something, she loves it, even if only momentarily. If she loves something she is capable of immediate and deep sacrifice for it. This gives a highly charged, impulsive and romantic colour to many of her human interactions. She is truly at home in the ideal realm. She is always looking for something loftier, be it a more abstract truth as well. Money comes and goes as it can be very difficult for her to save systematically.
      Daya Yama is creative and desires some permanent form of expression in order to achieve inner comfort. She aims to get her foundations in place in life as the familiar represents stability and this gives her comfort. She likes people to be stable, practical, and competent. She likes things and people that she can count on. The predictable gives her [some] pleasure.
      Loyalty, fidelity, and security are very important to her in love. She is cautious about giving her heart away but true to the one who does win her love. Her tastes are simple, even austere, and she does not appreciate frivolity. She is interested in a person's character and inner qualities far more than their appearance. Casual or superficial relationships don't interest her at all, for love seems to get deeper and richer and more satisfying for her with time.

Her Mars in Cancer

Mars is about Daya Yama's tendencies or motivation and drive which is essential to any accomplishment. It shows the quality of her energy and how she expresses it. Mars is the force that keeps her going and provides the courage to take a risk. It is also causes conflicts and sends her into battle with others and with herself. It represents her ability to act on impulse and to follow her desires.
      She tends to avoid direct confrontation as much as possible and is uncomfortable with aggressiveness, competition, and personal power. Her ego drive is not very strong and she is not especially ambitious or eager to push her way to the top. She may feel inadequate in situations that call for strong, forceful action. The only instance in which she will really fight is when she feels her loved one(s) or some things dear to her heart is being harmed, she is a fierce defender. She has a very strong protective side. She acts on impulse and instinct and may lash out at anyone she perceives as threatening to her home or family. However, she will rarely initiate a confrontation. Her goals also tend to be very personal and centred around family closeness and inner satisfaction rather than worldly achievement.
      She is sensitive to stress and does not handle a high-pressured, competitive atmosphere very well (who does?). She is very touchy, irritable, and difficult to live with when there are many demands or tensions at work. Her energy level is inconstant and is very much dependent upon the emotional harmony (or lack of it) in her home. A supportive partner is of great benefit to her in helping her achieve her goals and desires.
      What she does, depends on her moods to an unusual degree. When she is feeling positive and cheerful, she acts confidently and assertively. But when she is depressed, she is more retiring and much more irritable.
      She could profit from not trying to hold her anger in so much. It is much better to express it than to hold it back so that it gradually poisons her whole mood.
      Sometimes this position of Mars indicates difficulties and disagreements with her family. However, it is more likely that much concerning her family, her family background and heritage inspires in her feelings of great loyalty.

Her Jupiter of Fair Outlooks in Aquarius

Jupiter is the planet of abundance and shows where it is easy for her to expand and grow. It is considered a beneficial influence that can bring improvement and success. Jupiter shows the degree of her confidence and trust and is an indicator for the type of belief system that she has. It can also represent excess as too much of anything can become overdone. Jupiter governs travel to distant places and the explorations of the farther reaches of thought and study and so on. It signifies her generosity and the type of opportunities available.
      Her strength lies in her ability to be innovative, open to new progressive concepts, willing to experiment and to reject customs and traditions when they cease to serve any positive function in the present. Also, she has an expansive view of the world, one that includes humanity and not only her own small, personal circle.

Her Saturn of Intense Devotion in Gemini

Saturn is the great teacher that keeps her focused on the task at hand and on what is important. At times, life is difficult and wherever she experience restriction, she will find Saturn. It rules the laws and limitations of this material world we all live in. Although it always seeks to regulate any thought, word, or action, it also defines and clarifies. While many see Saturn as a negative influence, it simply shows where she is deficient, at least early in life. Over time, which Saturn governs, a deficiency can become a strength as she passes the necessary tests which bring her a greater sense of accomplishment and security. Saturn shows how she structures and organizes as well as how she handles responsibility. It signifies what she takes seriously and where life is likely to get her attention.
      She doubts her own intelligence and mental capacities, and she may work very hard at studies in order to compensate for this. She is often overly serious and disinterested in light or superficial conversation. Spontaneous communication, social give-and-take, and making small talk is likely to be difficult for her.

Her Don't be Bogged Down Uranus in Aquarius -

Life would be boring if everyone was the same, and Uranus is a planet that thrives on being different. It shows how Daya Yama rebels and how she is unique, even eccentric, which simply means outside the centre or the mainstream. Uranus is about going against the grain or whatever is commonplace. It is her capacity to be a minority. It governs everything that is unusual and out of the ordinary and is the planet that brings sudden insight that can change her direction in an instant.
      She is part of a 7 year group of people who is very bright and inventive, and contribute much to the sciences. Her age group advances technology at an even greater rate than previous generations, and she develops extremely large facilities for furthering research and development of new technologies. Increased cooperation and communication throughout the world assists her in this progress, for most developments in general are made possible by large-scale cooperation rather than single individuals. Concern with barriers between governments and between members of industry (e.g. labour versus management) is very important to her age group, and tremendous effort is put into improving the relationships between these various bodies of people.

Her Represent-Well Neptune in Cancer

Whenever she experiences moments of unity or a sense of wholeness, it is Neptune that allows all boundaries to dissolve so that perception is without limit. Despite the ecstasy it can bring, Neptune can show where she is confused or blind to certain truths. It is about escaping the harsh realities when the pain is too much endure. Yet it also is her capacity to soften and to open to the multitude of possibilities that is present. It shows her faith and willingness to let go and flow with life rather than fight against it.
      She is part of a 14 year group of people that is highly intuitive, emotional, and sentimental. Her generation approaches religion in a basically emotional and devotional manner, maybe not realistically, and is less concerned with specific dogma and doctrine than other generations. She is an emotional and sentimental group that clings to her memories of precious and special moments.

Her Pluto in Gemini

Pluto can be a marring planet with large effects, and so a large measure of tact is fit for persons under the plutonian influence (spell). Pluto represents how Daya Yama makes significant and deep, dark shifts in her life where the past is left behind forever. These shifts start slowly, even imperceptibly, until they are unstoppable. Pluto shows her capacity for being uncompromising and where her most compelling interests lie. It is a planet of extremes that has little patience for anything unless it is intense. Emboldening Pluto signifies some dark, deep passions and secrets. It is about power and how she uses it.
      She is part of a 30 year group of people who has a light-hearted and carefree attitude towards life. Her subconscious and emotional needs are not as great and not as difficult as those of other generations. She approaches life in a more airy and easygoing manner. She knows how to have a good time and does not take life as seriously as other generations do.
      She is a curious and inquisitive bunch and love puzzles and word games. Some members of her generation will follow these interests with great depth, and contribute spectacular breakthroughs in the areas of languages, mathematics and logic.
      These breakthroughs also highlight the importance of educational skills and the benefits they can bring, and her generation is highly motivated to improve the educational standards and academic skills of people. A tremendous push is given to ensure literacy of all people, to develop adequate verbal and mathematical skills, and to slow down the dropout rate from high schools. Needless to say, these are noble goals that all generations support, but her generation puts a much greater emphasis on these issues - found in "depth schools" - than others age groups do.
      The generation following hers is far more emotional and personally sensitive than her group. Consequently, many of her group are quite oblivious to the emotional support and tender nurturing that her children need - (they are likely to be members of this next generation).

What do YOU think of Daya Yama now? Do you find such birthday chart notes interesting?


Inquiry: The bits I DID see [of Daya Mata's birthday chart] seem to paint an accurate picture of her.

The dictums were selected from two internet addresses.


How we see it

The birthday chart (aka. birthday horoscope) indicates one's own inner stamp on life, and is furnished on top of the page. These are comments to it, rooted in quite common astrological interpretation stands.

Saturn deals

It can be easily noted by an astrologer that Daya Yama's Saturn seems very well aspected; i.e., it forms five trines (angles of ca. 120 degrees - give and take up to 8 degrees) with such as the Sun, Uranus, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. Her Saturn - its placement and angles to it - is one of many indicators about her. It "bolts". It also serves as one of the high indicators of the yogi's fare of concentration and possible much isolation. In her case it would more likely be connected to a group or other people, or going public - that is an understanding of "Saturn in the Twins".
      A drift or turn of interests or focus or charge from Geminilike "Saturn things" to Aquarian things could intrinsically oppose the yogi's fare - a high indicator of which is Saturn in Twins in her case. Such a drift would have a counter-clockwise movement, which suggests a degeneration fare (turn), basically. If the drift is subtle, many of its effects may come out or shows up better later.

Trines

Cosmic trines are 120 degrees with some leeway
In a birth chart's trine aspects, influences are considerably "heavenly oiled". This suggests that "things" (occurences, developments, phenomena) harmonised with them, may run smoothly, basically, unless opposing or dwarfing influences set in also.
      Textbooks in astrology lists up what such aspects (angles) are generally taken to signify. In interpreting them, one is to take into account the placements (in sign) of each of the planets involved, and the sun (which is a star, not a planet).
      Some of the well greased (oiled) aspects may function in correspondence with one's deeper or essential interests, while others could lead astray. The birth chart shows "which is which and does what" in all this, presumably.

From moony to sunny as life progresses

For a woman, the moon has a lot to tell before the menopause and possibly after it too, depending on the woman and her family ties. Later in life, for example after the menopause, the sun influence should outdo the moon influence in a woman, and then her specific birthday chart-linked stamp (specific signature) on matters (and stuff, i.e., "things" in general) may differ accordingly.
      Hence it is to be expected that her ways may become more wilful (Aquarian in some way) in time, not as much moony (not much "Ariesy" either) then. She may go for calm and quiet for herself, despite others, and she may feel great in a setting where she communicates to a group close to her (cf. Sun joined or flanked by Mercury (communications) and Venus (friends and loved ones) in Aquarius (of friends and bands, etc).
      To the degree this occurs, it might signify an drift of interests and charges in her life along "some secret fall" or "essential degeneration move" in the birthday chart - a fall that aims at or focuses on her guru in the first part of Aquarius (Jupiter is her guru-giver significator). Many falls are accompanied by gloating. Now, who knows?

Concentration that furthers tactless truthtelling is fit for some individuals

The birthday chart further indicates that being tactless and truth-telling (Mars and Uranus) in a family setting or not famous but very discrete group setting (Cancer) would be better, or far better - for her. Concentration on the real issues of yoga - including the basics of yoga methodology - should verily help that sort of inside responsibilty to oneself too.

Continued

On the next page all the so-called bad traits and tendencies that are highlighted above, are shown in some detail, to the end of fostering the right sort of liberal thinking, that is, sound biblical thinking that learns to ask for evidence first, before making any stern judgements.
  • Having lots of unfounded, preconceived notions often disqualifies for living.
