Quiz Answer: Maybe sometime in his life.
Most people picked answer #4 in the web poll 'Maybe sometime
in his life,' which is correct. However, in the first part
of the day most people had picked 'Yes, definitely.' This
is the chart of a good friend of mine so it was fun to call
him up and tell him that "Most people think you're a
criminal!" which he thought was hilarious.
This is the chart of a middle-aged man who is a very successful
self-made businessman. He was able to retire in his late-forties
after selling two multi-million dollar companies - a property
management firm as well as a security guard company. In his
teenage years he sold drugs, which was the extent of his criminal
activity. He's extremely ambitious by nature and easily takes
on leadership roles. He also can be very tough and uncompromising,
for instance, when it comes to firing an employee. At the
same time he's known as a sensitive, caring person with a
strong interest in occult or mystical knowledge. He's deeply
spiritual with Ketu within a few degrees of the Moon, his
ascendant lord. His criminal activity was in his Moon dasha
from age 12 till age 22. Also, during that time he began a
regular practice of meditation, which he has sustained for
more than twenty five years.
Both his chart and the chart of Ted Bundy, the serial killer,
have many similarities as well as significant differences.
Both charts have a very strong Mars in its own or exalted
sign in an angular house forming a ruchaka mahapurusha yoga.
This indicates that Mars's qualities will predominate such
as ambition, aggression, assertiveness. Both charts have the
conjunctions of Mars, Ketu, and the Moon. Mars and Ketu are
both fiery planets which further heightens the fiery qualities
that Mars represents. The Moon represents the mind and in
both charts is closely aspecting both Mars and Ketu within
a few degrees. Ketu represents secret or occult activities
that are outside of the norm.
A main difference is that my friend has the feminine water
sign of Cancer as a rising sign, while Bundy has Leo rising
which is a masculine, fire sign. Cancer is a sensitive and
caring sign, while Leo is a self-centered and ambitious sign.
Leo is much more likely to be insensitive, dominating and
impulsive which are prerequisites for criminal behavior. We
have to give primary importance to the ascendant which is
the 'stamba' or pillar of the chart.
Another obvious difference is that Bundy has this conjunction
of Mars, Ketu and the Moon in the 4th house while my friend
has it in the 10th house. The 4th house is a private and secretive
house while the 10th house is the opposite. It's in the visible
portion of the sky, giving a very public disposition. Bundy's
criminal activity was all secretive and covert. Even people
who knew him didn't suspect his secret serial killer life.
Scorpio is also an obsessive, intense sign. With Bundy's 5
planets there - Mars, Ketu, Moon, Sun, and Mercury - these
qualities become extreme and excessive.
