Washington's Rahu Giving Fame
Denzel Washington's Rahu-Sun period bringing fame is yet another
example of the Vimshottari dasha giving very exact and predictable
results on the basis of chitrapaksha ayanamsha (Lahiri) using
365.25 dasha years.....but highlighting also the necessity of
incorporating the use of the appropriate divisional chart (D-10
for career and achievement) when looking at a particular period
and sub-period. (Sun is exalted in the D-10)
However, it was not until he moved into the subsequent period
of his extremely exalted Jupiter that his film career really
took off. (Note that from Chandra lagna, Jupiter is the 3rd
lord of acting involved in a real results-giving Gaja Kesari
Yoga.)
Denzel Washington's Natal Chart
One career peak came in March of 1990 when he won an Oscar for
Best Supporting Actor for his performance in "Glory."
Which brings me to one of the most interesting features of his
chart. Note that at 4 degrees of Cancer, Jupiter is in Saturn's
nakshatra, Pushyami and that at 24 degrees of Libra, Saturn
is in Jupiter's nakshatra of Vishaka. In other words, his exalted
Jupiter and exalted Saturn are involved in a nakshatra exchange
(sookshma parivarthana yoga) that creates a very strong connection
(sambhanda) between them. Additonally, Saturn throws its 10th
house aspect onto Jupiter.
In March of 1990 when he won his Oscar, he was running Jupiter-Saturn-Jupiter
in Vimshottari.
His present period is Saturn-Saturn-Mercury. Hmmmm. Based on
everything we have seen about his Saturn...particularly the
subtle exchange with Jupiter...his career should continue to
be spectacular....as should his asking price per picture...
given the especially wealth-giving qualities of his Saturn!
Moreover, in D-10 Saturn is either the 5th lord in the 10th
(if you take Virgo as the D-10 lagna) or a yogakaraka planet
in the 9th (if you accept my conjecture about Libra as the D-10
lagna). Either way, it's dignity in D-10 is that of "Great
Friend" and creates a connection with the sub-sub-period
lord, Mercury.
Denzel Washington's Dashamsha Chart
The dasha lord, Saturn, is transiting his 9th house of forturne
the day of the ceremony, and Jupiter by transit will be in his
10th house, closely aspecting his 10th lord Mercury, as well
as the dasha lord Saturn.
Obviously, it is another "high water mark" for his
career, but all this could just reflect the fact that he is
a nominee. The question remains, "Will he win?"

Note from Vaughn Paul
Marc subsequently analyzed the charts of Russell Crowe and Sean
Pean who were the other nominees for Best Actor. He chose Denzel
Washington to win and ... he was right! Denzel Washington won
the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2002 for his role in Training
Day.
