Whitney Houston's Rise to Fame 
August 16, 2006 |
| Vedic Astrology Diary Archives |
Whitney Houston, one of the most successful female vocalists
of all time, rose to fame in her 20 year Venus mahadasha, which
began in July 1978. Notice how Venus becomes a yogakaraka planet
for Aquarius rising, ruling both an angle and a trine - the
4th and 9th houses. Venus also forms multiple raja yogas with
both Saturn, the lagna lord, and the Sun, the 7th lord. Additionally,
Jupiter's aspect to Venus, as the 2nd and 11th lord, gives dhana
or wealth producing yogas that increase her wealth and status.
The peak of her fame, not surprisingly, came in her Venus-Saturn-Venus
period with the release of the soundtrack for the movie, The
Bodyguard, in the fall of 1992. This became one of the
best-selling albums of all time. Saturn is both the ruler of
her ascendant and a natural friend of Venus. It also mutually
aspects Venus forming a raja yoga between the 1st, 4th and 9th
lords.
In the navamsha chart this pattern repeats with a vargottama
Aquarius ascendant, where Saturn is again the ascendant lord
and Venus the yogakaraka planet. Saturn this time forms a raja
yoga with the 7th lord, the Sun, due to their mutual aspect
and exchange of signs. Saturn also forms a favorable trinal
relationship with Venus. In the dashamsha chart, Saturn is in
Venus's sign of Taurus in the 11th house, and the 10th house
from Venus.
Whitney first came to fame in her Venus-Rahu period in the mid
to late 1980's with her debut album that was one of the best
selling albums ever. Rahu is also a natural friend of Venus
and mutually aspects Venus in both the navamsha and dashamsha
charts. In the navamsha chart, especially, Rahu is in a trinal
house, aspected by Venus a trinal and angular lord, forming
a raja yoga according
to sage Parashara.
Whitney's Venus gives raja yoga and its repeated, favorable
connections with Saturn and Rahu in the natal chart, navamsha,
and dashamsha charts show the ability to give success and fame
in these sub periods especially.
