M.S. Subbulakshmi

(16th September 1916 ...) Akhila Kumar (The writer, an M Phil in Music, is currently engaged in writing a book on divine music. After completing her two-year course in astrology from Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan, New Delhi, she now teaches astrology there.) A Musical Saga A simple, soft natured M.S. Subbulakshmi was born on a Saturday, krishna panchami, gara karna and harshana yoga, in a devdasi family. To her we credit the rise of Carnatic music, which was brought out of the cloistered doors of the devdasis to the public and gave it the respectable position it enjoys today. She did not have any formal education in her childhood but her musical talent was evident. At the age of four or five she sang before the audience. She had an elder sister, who died pretty early and a younger brother, who died in 1986. Both siblings too were musically talented. She got married in 1940 to Kaki Sudasivam. Though the couple does not have any children, Sudasivam has children from his first wife. However, her husband, who has ego problems with her, has eclipsed her personality. Main features of the horoscope 1. Lagna is Libra. Two malefic planets afflict the lagna lord Venus placed in the 10th house with yogkaraka Saturn (4th and 5th lord) and Ketu. 2. Second lord Mars in lagna is aspected by Moon and Jupiter. Association of the 2nd lord with Jupiter in a kendra makes a person very prosperous. Here, the association of the 10th lord Moon also exists and this makes the even more person very prosperous. 3. Third lord Jupiter (retrograde) is in the 7th house with the 10th lord Moon, a friendly house and aspected by Mars and Saturn. Third lord associated with a benefic in a kendra, the person enjoys the company of relatives but the aspect of malefic planets is not good. 4. Fourth and fifth lord Saturn is placed in 10th house with the lagna lord Venus and Ketu. Association of 4th and 5th lord with the lagna lord in a kendra gives comforts, property, success, name and fame but the association of a malefic planet Ketu also

property, success, name and fame but the association of a malefic planet Ketu also foretells destruction or problems. 5. Sixth lord Jupiter in the 7th house with the Moon aspected by Saturn and Mars. 7th lord Mars is in the lagna aspected by Jupiter and the Moon.6. Eighth lord Venus is placed in the 10th with Saturn and Ketu. Eighth house is aspected by Mars, 2nd and 7th lord. 7. Ninth and 12th lord Mercury is exalted in the 12th house with the 11th lord Sun and aspected by Saturn. The lord of the 9th in the 12th house gives the tendency for philanthropic action. This combination shows that religious inclinations and association with great mystics. 8. Tenth lord Moon is in the 7th with Jupiter aspected by Mars and Saturn. The association of Jupiter with Moon shows an excellent position but the aspect of Saturn and Mars is not good. 9. Eleventh lord Sun is placed in the 12th house with an exalted 9th lord, Mercury and aspected by the 4th and 5th lord Saturn. The lord of gain in the 12th means expenditure for good causes.

Navamsha Lagna is in 4th pada of Swati nakshatra, lord Rahu. Jupiter, being the navamsha lagna lord, owns the 6th house of lagna chart showing struggles in life. Yogas 1. Kendra-kona yoga occurs in the 12th house with 11th lord Sun and the 9th and 12th lord Mercury. 2. According to Mansagari a person born in Tula lagna will be proficient in fine arts, a wealthy scholar, famous and appreciated by all for good deeds. 3. One born in harshana yoga will be very fortunate, well versed in fine arts,worshipped by all and liked by the king. 4. One born in gaya-yon nakshatra, Bharani, will be respected by the king, cheerful and loved by all.

5. Sareera Soukhya Yoga: The lagna lord, Jupiter or Venus should occupy a kendra. Results are long life, wealth and political favours. 6. According to Mansagari, if Rahu is in the 1st, 10th, and 9th from the Moon the native will be rich and spend on charitable purposes. 7. Vesi Yoga: Planets in the 2nd from Sun, other than Moon make the person fortunate, happy, virtuous and famous. 8. Buddh Aditya Yoga: When Mercury combines with the Sun the person will be intelligent, skilful, has good reputation, personal respect, and surrounded by all comforts and happiness. 9. Gaja Kesari Yoga: Jupiter in a kendra from the ascendant or the Moon avoiding debilitation, inimical and combustion, this oga is formed. The person will be wealthy, intelligent, endowed with many laudable virtues and will please the king. The strength of the yoga depends upon the association of planets, if malefics are associated, there will be less effect. 10. Parijatha yoga: Dispositor of the lagna lord in kendras makes the person renowned and gets homage of rulers. 11. If the 5th and 8th lords conjoin then occult power is seen.Here, 5th lord Saturn and 8th lord Venus are placed in the 10th house with Ketu. This gives the person a deep interest in singing bhajans (devotional songs) and religion. This is also raj yoga. 12. Vidya Yoga: Mercury in the 6th, 8th, and 12th. Here in the chart Mercury is exalted in the 12th house. This gives good education, here music. 13. Partial Kendra Yoga: One of the sankhaya yogas when all the seven planets are in four houses. The person will be truthful,wealthy, does good to others and resorts to agriculture. Here, except, Sun and Mercury in the 12th house, all are in the kendras. Personal Life M.S. Subbulakshmis horoscope is a brilliant one with five planets in kendras (1, 4, 7, 10). When all the kendras become strong, the person rises in life. She is a simple, kind and loving person with a highly philosophical outlook. See the lagna lord Venus in the 10th house, with 4th and 5th lord Saturn in Rahu/Ketu axis. The lord of purva punya (5th house) and lagna lord with another spiritual planet Ketu, gyana karaka, in the house of karma explain this aspect. All the planets are connected with her 10th house. Venus aspecting the 10th house from Moon indicates an excellent career in the artistic field. Saturn placed in the 10th gives

success in the chosen sphere and here Saturn is in the 10th house with Venus and Ketu and the same combination influences the 10th from the Moon. Venus denotes fine arts and Ketu devotion, so this gave success in devotional music. For artistic talents the kama trikonas (3, 7, 11 houses) are also to be examined. In the rashi chart, 3rd house is Dhanu and its lord Jupiter, a benefic planet, is with another benefic, Moon. Both are placed in another kama trikona. At the same time this combination is aspected by both Mars nd Saturn, which points to troubles, even in voice (Mars is 2nd lord). Another kama trikona lord, Sun is with the exalted Mercury in the 12th house, again pointing towards good education in artistic and spiritual fields.Classical music has always been a traditional subject and treated like sadhana by its exponents. In the navamsha, the lagna is Meena and lagna and 10th lord Jupiter is exalted in the 5th, aspected by 2nd 9th lord, again the knowledge of shastras and spirituality gains importance. The aspect of the 6th lord Sun shows success after struggles. Fifth lord Moon is with Venus in the 9th and aspected by Jupiter. The dasamsha lagna is Mesha with Saturn (10th and 11th lord) and Ketu in lagna. Lagna lord is in the 11th house. Here the 2nd and 7th lord Venus is in the 4th house with the exalted 9th and 12th lord, Jupiter and aspected by Mercury, the 3rd and 6th lord, from the 10th house. The 10th house receives the aspect Venus and Jupiter, indicating a successful career. The 3rd lord Mercury, aspected by Jupiter and Venus, gives a melodic and soft voice. M.S. Subbulakshmis mother was a famous vainika. The 3rd lord from the 4th house of mother is Jupiter and in the 4th house, aspected by Mars and Saturn. The 3rd house is aspected by Sun and Mercury. The combination of Jupiter and Moon confers a proficiency in fine arts and the aspect of Mars and Saturn denotes instrument. Her grandmother was also a violinist, see the 4th from the 7th (for mothers mother). Venus, Saturn and Ketu are placed there. Venus gives artistic talents and with Saturn and Ketu again proficiency in instrumental music is indicated. Her father died when she was 10 years old. The 9th lord Mercury is exalted in the 12th and conjunct with Sun and aspected by Saturn. The karaka for father, Sun, is afflicted. In the dwadasamsha, lagna lord Venus is in the 8th house and aspected by Jupiter. The 9th lord Saturn is with the Sun and aspected by Mars. All these features do not promise a long life of father. Her elder sister died early and the younger brother died in 1986. For elder siblings, 11th house and 11th lord is to be examined. Eleventh lord Sun is with Mercury in the 12th houseand aspected by Saturn. Mercury, placed in an even sign has taken on its feminine qualities; also Saturn aspects it from an even sign and is in the company of Venus and Ketu. Majority influences on the 11th lord are feminine. The karaka is Jupiter and is with Moon and aspected by Mars and Saturn. The 11th house is in papkartari and the 8th lord from 11th house is Jupiter placed with the 12th lord from 11th. The malefic aspect by Mars and Saturn confirms the short span of life. Her elder sister was also musically talented, a vainika. Fourth from 11th is Vrischika and the lord Mars is in the 3rd house, one of the kama trikona, and aspected by Jupiter and Moon. The karaka for younger siblings, Mars is in lagna. The brother was a mridangist.Third lord, Jupiter, is placed in the 7th with the Moon and is aspected by Mars and Saturn, indicating proficiency in instrumental music.

Dreshkon lagna is Kumbha and lagna lord is placed in the 6th. This does not show a good picture for the elder sister. 11th lord Jupiter is in the 7th, in papkartari and receives the aspect of Mars. But for younger brother, 3rd lord Mars in lagna is aspected by Jupiter, which did give him reasonable longevity. Jaimini Angle 1. Tula Lagna with Matrukaraka (MK) Mars, totally unaspected. 2. Second house does not have any planet and is aspected by Putrakaraka (PK) Jupiter and Amatyakaraka (AmK) Moon, thus imparting raj yoga. 3. Third house has no planet and is aspected by Darakaraka (DK) Sun and Atmakaraka (AK) Mercury, another raj yoga. 4. Fourth house in Rahu/Ketu axis is not aspected by any planet. 5. Fifth house does not have any planet but the house is aspected by six planets MK Mars, PK Jupiter, AmK Moon, Bhratrikaraka (BK) Venus, Gnatikaraka (GK) Saturn and also Ketu, forming afflicted raj yoga. 6. Sixth house is also empty but is aspected by AK Mercury and DK Sun, forming raj yoga. This indicates success after struggles. 7. Seventh house has PK Jupiter and AmK Moon, forming raj yoga. 8. Eighth house is vacant but aspected by MK Mars. 9. Ninth house is unoccupied but aspected by AK Mercury and DK Sun, forming very good raj yoga. 10. Tenth house is in Rahu/Ketu axis and has GK Saturn as well as BK Venus and there is no aspect on it. 11. Eleventh house is unoccupied, but aspected by MK Mars, PK Jupiter and AmK Moon, forming raj yoga. But the house is in papkartari yoga. 12. Twelfth house has DK Sun and exalted AK Mercury, forming raj yoga. Navamsha AK Mercury is placed in Simha, so the karakamsha lagna (KL) is Simha.

Yogas as discussed earlier Jaimini aspects and Raj yogas Exalted AK Mercury is placed with the DK Sun in the 12th house of expenditure and moksha. This indicates the inclination of the couple towards spirituality. AmK, Moon is placed in the second house of kama trikonas (7th house) with PK. Jupiter. This shows a successful career and a fortunate husband. BK Venus indicates voice, father, superiors and co-borns. It is in the 10th house with GK Saturn and Ketu. The combination of GK with any karaka creates troubles for the karakatatwas of the other one. Here it is with BK and does not give a good picture for the longevity of father and coborns, also shows a trouble for her voice. MK Mars is placed in the lagna, a kendra, indicates property and happiness to the person as well as benefits from mother.

PK, Jupiter in the 7th with friend AmK Moon, shows education connected to profession, here music. This combination aspects the 2nd, 5th and 11th houses, indicating wealth and honour. GK in the 10th with BK and Ketu, its aspect on 5th, 8th and 2nd houses gives troubles, dignity and political fame. DK Sun. with exalted AK in the 12th house and aspects the 3rd, 6th and 9th houses Third house is of self efforts and artistic talents 6th is the house of obstacles, struggles and competition; 9th is the house of fortune and great success, thus this raj yoga paves the way for great success after struggles. Karakamsha lagna Simha gives an inclination towards spiritual practices. Its lord Sun, with AK Mercury and aspected by GK Saturn and Ketu, in thein the 12th house, indicates the intense spiritual longing. Mercury is also aspected by DK Sun, MK Mars, BK Venus and AmK Moon. In Jaimini when a planet is aspected by many planets it forms raj yoga and gives great success. Venus and Moon also form raj yoga.

Kanya is the 12th from lagna and 6th from the 7th house. It has DK Sun and AK Mercury in it. Any sign, which has a karaka placed in it, gives both good and bad results connected to it. In this case, it was spouse and self as 12th house is associated with DK. In navamsha Kanya is the 7th rashi and aspected by none, so it becomes weak. Makar is the 11th rashi in which DK Sun and MK Mars are placed. Mars is aspected by GK Saturn, Ketu and AK Mercury. Thus longevity was affected. Chara: Kanya/Kanya. The reasons have already been discussed. In the dasha of the 12th placed Mercury, M.S. Subbulakshmi is leading a retired life. In chara also it is Kanya dasha, the 12th from her lagna. The connection of 12th house or lord to the 10th gives withdrawal from profession and in her case, a peaceful retired life too. Moreover, from all the features and events discussed, her life is deeply connected to the 5th, 9th and 11th dharma and karma trikonas. With these influences came about her charity activities and the devotion to the arts. Perhaps, she was born to be a philanthropist and work for the upliftment of art and the needy.
