Johnny Depp- A Vedic Astrology Horoscope Profile

Johnny Depp is one of the most prominent actors in the world and in this article we propose to examine the manner in which the dicta of classical Vedic astrology map to the various features of his life.

Owensboro, Kentucky, USA

The Rāśi Chakra for Johnny Depp’s horoscope is given below-

 
Beginnings-
Depp was born in relatively ordinary circumstances and was a high school drop-out who started playing rock music in garage bands in his childhood. See Cancer Ascendant/ Karkaṭa/Karkata Lagna in Papa-Kartari Yoga formed by Rāhu/ Rahu in the 12th House and Mars in the 2nd House.

The exaltation of Rāhu in the 12th Bhāva of dissipation and self-negation shows rocky beginnings to life, especially as the 8th Lord.

Mass Adulation And Success-
We are however more concerned with the massive adulation and success he has received. We must always note that the masses are indicated by Saturn and for people in the entertainment industry a strong Saturn is very beneficial. The reason, apart from the support and popularity from the masses, is that Saturn is exalted in a Rāśi/ Rashi/ sign ruled by Venus, which is the significator for entertainment and movie-making.

Mahapurusha Yoga-
In this chart, Saturn is in its own sign of Capricorn/ Makara in a Keṅdra Bhāva/ Kendra Bhava/ quadrant forming the Śaśa Mahāpuruṣa/ Sasa Mahapurusha Yoga. What is more, Saturn also has 100% Digbala/ directional strength in the 7th House. It is supremely strong.  

Wealth/ Highest Paid Actor-
Johnny Depp’s reputed status of being the highest paid Hollywood star is explained simply from the Rāśi Chakra. The 11th House is the house of gains and of the multiplication of wealth. The 2nd Lord of money and liquidity is the Sun itself who is also the Naisargika Kāraka/Natural Significator for resources. It is placed in the 11th Bhāva with the 11th Lord Venus/ Śukra/ Shukra and the significator for money which is Mercury/Budha. This is a very powerful Dhana Yoga for wealth especially as Venus, the 11th Lord is in its own sign Taurus/ Vṛṣabha/ Vrishabha. This sign is also the natural 2nd House of the zodiac.

The 11th Bhāva also has the Ārūḍha Lagna with three strong planets there and so he is known for his massive wealth.

Marriage and Impact on Career-
It was his first wife Lori Anne Allison who kick started his career which is evident from the fact that the Upapada Lagna is in the 10th House from the Lagna which is the Karma Bhāva.

Faith-
With Jupiter in the 9th House of religion one of the best known facets of Jupiter comes through in his life. Gurū is Nirguṇa Brahman or Sāmba Śiva which is formless faith in destiny or divinity. This is precisely what Depp said on Larry King Live. Pisces, where Jupiter is placed also indicates the feet and Depp has said that he believes and has faith that everything will be alright as long as you keep moving forward (which is akin to walking).

Jupiter, Moon, Ketu and Rāhu all directly influence the 11th House from the Ārūḍha Lagna showing manifest sources of gains. This is a celebrity chart which has standard form combinations for wealth, fame and acclaim.

Personally-
As a person Johnny Depp is not on sure ground and therefore he finds growth the best way to live. In other words his personal moorings are contingent on how much of his reality his mind and consciousness can assimilate. This is indicated by the Dhimantaha Yoga formed by the Lagna Lord Moon in the 6th House. The Moon in this chart indicates all three of the body, mind, intellect continuum and since the 6th House is a natural Uapacaya house of growth, he must keep growing as a human being.

His growth patterns have psychedelic hues as Cañdra/ Chandra is joined Ketu in the 6th House in an eclipse combination. His personal psychology is quite afflicted as Rāhu also aspects.

Affliction and Controversy-
This affliction is mostly evident in the public domain as his attempts to claim some native American ancestry as the Lagna Lord is the roots and the origins of birth and also labelling the country of his birth ‘a dumb puppy with big teeth’ and ‘a broken toy’.

Properties-
Correspondingly, Depp’s properties abroad in Europe have generated interested. The Caturthāmśa Cakra/ Chaturthamsha Chakra/ D-4 chart relates to properties and is a finer picture of the 4th House from the Lagna.  This divisional chart is given below for reference-

 
While it is true that the Lagna Lord Saturn is exalted in the 10th House showing huge properties no matter where they are, it is retrograde and acts as if it is debilitated. In this chart, the 10th House acts as a Māraka or problem maker for the properties. In view of its strength, it has meant going out of the country of birth to acquire properties.

The 4th Lord is the most important and is in the 8th from the 4th, though in its own sign and so again promotes properties abroad. The Virodha Argala or obstructing intervention of Rāhu from the 3rd House from the Lagna ensures the foreign influence in properties. It is the Argala of Venus and Mercury from the 5th House which ensures excellent properties.

The Weird  And Quirky-

A large number of Depp’s major successes have come from him playing weird and quirky roles. This is fundamentally due to the association of Ketu with the Lagna Lord Moon in the Rāśi Chakra and even more dominantly due to the placement of Ketu in the Lagna in the Navāmśa/ Navamsha Chakra/ the D-9 chart.

The Navāmśa Chakra has far greater weight when it comes to determining inner proclivities and skill structures, innate and acquired.

The D-9 chart is given below for reference-

 
Ketu is exalted and Rāhu aspects the Lagna from its own exaltation sign in the 7th House. It is not correct to quip that he is a European ‘wannabe’ as with increasing age Sun’s love for order and decorum in the 9th House will become a dominant part of his personality with the efflux of time.

A BRIEF LOOK AT THE TWELVE LAGNAS/ ASCENDANTS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY

People are often curious at the beginning of their astrological quest, to know something of the various facets pertaining to their ‘chart’; in other words, they wish to evaluate the basic propensities pertaining to their Lagnas and their Rashi/ Lagna Kundalis (Kundalis). Also, the Chandra Lagna itself and Gochar furnish other popular areas of curiosity. Lagna is the sign rising on the Eastern horizon at the time of birth and is occupied by a Rāśi (Rashi)/ Vedic sign. The average duration of a sign rising in the Lagna/ Ascendant is two hours and for this reason the twelve Rāśis cover the twenty-four hours duration of the solar day. ( Basic Jyotiṣa principles can be accessed by clicking this link ) Lagna imbues a person with individuality and therefore denotes the self and the personality of the person. It is the first house or Bhāva of the chart and is the commencement point of any horoscopic study. We cannot forget that in all the divisional charts as well there is a Lagna/ asc

A METHODOLOGY FOR VEDIC CHART INTERPRETATION

The following is an attempt to lay down a general method to conduct professional chart analysis. It appears to have worked well for the author in his practice. Notably though, it need not be the best way to interpret charts and the astrologer must find her own way when it comes to developing a structure with which to unravel any given chart. Some of the more general features of interpretation are being omitted for fear of the paper becoming unwieldy but certain crucial aspects of Jyotish interpretation are being explained since these are not very widely used. The author is indebted to the works of Pt. Sanjay Rath, author, scholar and Jyotish Guru of Sri Jagannath Center. It is through assimilating the writings of Pt. Rath that the author has been able to progress from the fundamentals of Jyotish to a somewhat deeper understanding. ARUDHA PADAS: The houses as reckoned from the Lagna/ Ascendant reveal the truth about the native. This is metaphysical reality as distinguished from precipit

Yanavanta/ Annapurna/ Vahana Yoga of Venus and Moon in Scorpio-8th October, 2013

The Yānavaṅta/ Yanavanta/ Annapūrṇā/ Annapurna/ Vāhana/ Vahana Yoga is formed when Venus and Moon/ Śukra and Cañdra/ Shukra and Chandra associate to form a Yoga in the Vedic horoscope; by Vedic horoscope is meant the Rāśi Cakra/ Rashi Chakra and the Varga Chakra as well, the latter being the divisional charts governing specific areas of life such as marriage (Navāmśa/ Navamsha), career (Daśāmśa/ Dashamsha), children (Saptāmśa/ Saptamsha), parents and elders (Dwādaśāmśa/ Dwadashamsha), comforts and luxuries (Ṣodaśāmśa/ Shodashamsha), spirituality and worship (Vimśāmśa/ Vimshamsha), education (Siddhāmśa/ Siddhamsha) etc. Let us consider the immediate meanings of the various terms used to indicate the Yoga formed due to the association of Venus and the Moon. The term Yānavaṅta/ Yanavanta indicates the charioteer or one guiding the vehicle of humanity or a group or individuals. It indicates leadership and the capacity to show the way to the multitudes and to guide and mould their live
