Here is the Vedic astrology chart of Paul Newman, the famous actor and philanthropist, who has only benefic planets in kendras (angular houses 1, 4, 7, 10). K.N. Rao says, "The Vishnu sthanas (kendras/angular houses) showed nobility." When there are benefics (Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, or Moon) in kendras then it significantly increases the benefic or noble nature of the individual.

Paul Newman is one of the few actors that has won consistent praise and respect after more than fifty years of filmaking. However, his admiration extends beyond his good looks and successful acting career. In 1982, he began 'Newman's Own' all-natural food products: salad dressings, pasta sauces, salsa, popcorn, cookies etc. and donates 100% of after-taxes profits to charity. This has totaled more than $175 million to humanitarian causes like a summer camp for children with terminal illnesses.

Notice the strength of Jupiter in his chart, the planet of wisdom, generosity, and charity. Not only does it rule his ascendant, Sagittarius, but is located in the ascendant forming a hamsa mahapurusha yoga (Jupiter in its own or exalted sign in an angle). He began 'Newman's Own' products in his Mercury mahadasha. Mercury is hemmed in on either side by the two great benefics, Jupiter and Venus.
