Article on Molestation - Rape

For rape there are many words in Sanskrit represent the term and give us the simple clue of what can be called rape viz. Balatkaar, Hathasambhog, Pramath, Abhibhav, Strisangraha, Striharan, Kanyaharana, Shilaapharan [molestation] etc. etc. ; these names are enough for us to imagine the range of rape meaning. But for sure rape is an arista [misfortune or ill fate] indeed. We will not go in the word jugglery of rape definition as available in laws of the land and generally circumstantial, instead will concentrate on its obvious meaning and rape word indicated as forceful and unwished sex without proper consent of female [victim].  

There are various forms of rapes and sexual abuses in our society prevailing like repetitive unwished sex, abuse in flesh trade or human trafficking, kidnapping and rapes for money matter, rapes by extended relations or friends or relatives, rapes by threatens, rapes by force by legal partner, sex trade for illicit monies. Moreover, eventual rapes by neighbour, known members, sudden rapes of trespass the privacy while travelling or at home etc. Every kind of these rapes might have different house and planetary etc significations but here we shall deal with the eventual rapes, where few come out in open.  There are too many hard facts and circumstantial considerations connected with rape cases  which never cum out in open or may not be relied in toto and we can not discern those but few which came out openly and confessed in general and culprit accused and punished are taken here.

  

To identify the chart prone to rape correctly and definitely is indeed a very difficult task. As we are also under social obligation for not to make chaos and make the people feared, we have to give prudent guideline for the prone cases; a word of caution may save the victim.

I-             House Signification:

In nutshell, for rape cases afflicted segregation of 4^th house is for distorted satitva-shilatva [self - fidelity]. 7^th is yoni sthana and is for conjugal fidelity disrupted in equality and legality. 8^th is seen for conjugal relation in inequality with force or forgery and intrusion, and lastly 12^th house is seen for conjugal relationship with illegality and unsocial i.e. bed pleasure is shared with others. Their internal relation [by aspect or conjunction or nakstra lord] is required to see adverse results. Moreover, weak Venus or its affliction in addition to this by Rahu [sudden gang attack], Saturn [painful and last long], Mars [violence or military or police], Gulika/Mandi [disgusting, vulgar], Sun [threatening or fear or politician], Ketu  [violence and planned attack] etc prove fatal in female horoscopy for rape and sexual abuse.

8th house sex is different, it’s more complicated and mysterious, the natural secret zodiac sign Scorpio. This is what Indra did to Ahlya, the wife of Gautam Rushi is the first kind of rape [kukarma] mankind experience and Ahalya becomes lifeless and emotionless which according to mythological story becomes stone, signifies the status quo position of the victim.  Here Ahlya was great sati-pativrata and this shilatva is seen by 4^th house so when we see any house wife or daughter is raped prone we have to see the 4^th house at first.

4^th is the house of Satittva [self fidelity] and Kshetra [fertile womb] and 7^th is Shilatva [comjugal fidelity] in female horoscopy and is preserved for proposed husband or the lover or for her own consent to consume. This pious ness cannot be taken away unless and until with the consent or otherwise it will be an abuse in the eye of the law and is a social crime too. 4^th and 7^th house is also important for sex places and implementation pleasure [aanand sayan sukh]. Therefore, malevolence effect in the 4^th – 7^th house and its lords is the first step to look forward for rape or sexual abuse. This is more so as 4^th house represents mob or gang, vehicle and Rahu is karaka of sudden events by this gang or mobs. Weak such lord may be a supportive tool to assess; weak means posited in inimical sign, combust, debilitated, eclipsed and without suffice shadbal etc. 7^th house is 4^th from 4^th and is important for conjugal alliance also. If 7^th house describes sex relationship thru equality and legality, then through 8^th house females suffers sex relationship based on inequality and intrusion; when other with force enter the intimate waters of 8^th house of sex bond, we call these rape or sexual abuses in general. So malevolence to 8^th or its lord is very important to signify the rap prone chart.  So far 12^th house and its lord in female is concerned it is suggested that if malevolence or weak effect is there then pleasure of bed is shared by other woman i.e. her shautan or may be shared her bed with other person with concern and seldom with other factors may conclude rape incident. So while considering 12^th house we have to be very careful.

Weak or afflicted ascendant or its lord is always important for any kind of fatal event in general.

II-           Sign signification

Sign of sexual happiness of natural zodiac is Cancer [sukh rasi], virginity or puberty [shil rasi] is Virgo, and their lords’ Moon and Mercury are important to assess the rape cases. Both the planets are important for nerves-mind control. Malevolence effect to these may cause the chart prone to rape. We will take the virginity in broader sense to include conjugal fidelity consume with consent or otherwise it will fall under rape category or sexual abuse. So, any malevolence effect to these signs and its lords may make the chart prone to rape or abuse.

III-     Planetary Significations

Venus is the core planet if weak and afflicted heavily then the chart will be more prone to sexual abuse and rape. Venus is given importance for its delicacy, bodily fragrance of females, discipline, lovemaking and sexual pleasure, secret connected with sex etc. Planet is said to be weak and afflicted for various causes and depends on the prudent experience of the astrologer. Natural malefic planets are Mars, Sun, Saturn and nodes.

Affliction of Rahu is considered malevolence to cause rapes and 4^th house is seen for gang or mob i.e. gatherings of persons, and Rahu is karaka of sudden event of mobs or gang. In addition, 4^th hosue stands for vehicle so gang rape in moving bus like delhi gang rape is incidental. Mars affliction signifies harm, harassments, slaying etc. Saturn causes old personage and painful and long lasting abuse. Sani-Ketu in 4^th house may signify cemetery like or desolate places. Sun indicates abuses from authority or fatherly figures and this way we can count the causes and places of sexual abuse as indicated in our classical texts and prudence of astrologer. Afflictions from 6-8-12 houses from Venus may also be  considered bad as Venus significations may be distorted by this. Verification of independent navamsa chart may be very helpful in confirming the event. We may assess Vimsottari Dasa also as per astrological acumen. Affliction from Gulika / Mandi may also be looked into for rape case. Gulika/Mandi may be said to represent all that is vulgar, base, sordid and disgusting and therefore, its association with any houses or planet or signs may bring out those qualities in the relationship or situation concerned.

IV-     Nakstra Significations

The most important factor is nakstras of sex and puberty - Punarvasu, Vishakha and Purvabhadrapada [all involves kamatrikona and moxa trikona connected]. This nakstras indication are  Punarvasu [4^th house] pubirty or satitva or shilatva i.e. conjugal-self fidelity, Visakha [7^th house] sex relation of legality and equality and also it indicates [visakha-8^th house of secret] sex by intrusion and force or forgery or unwished sexual encounter if afflicted and Purvabhadrapada [12^th house] if afflicted indicates distorted bed pleasure. Here Jupiter this nakstra lord is the only protecting planet and if it is also afflicted then fatal result may come true. Any affliction in transit to above constellation with this may have to be seen precisely to conclude rape event and professional astrologers can study this separately.

To arrive at some concrete and conclusive conclusions astrologers are humbly requested to check these analogy results of rapes and sexual abuses of female on more and more charts available with them.  It is very easy to do post-mortem but very difficult to predict rape abuse and there is lots to be decipher.

Sex Victimization/Rape 15 September 1990 (Raped by neighbor)

At the age of 13, on 9/15/1990 c. 2:30 PM, her neighbor, Hank Meinholz, raped and killed her, then buried her in his basement.

01 Ascendant is afflicted by Gulika/Mandi and its lord Mars in 8^th house of intrusion with Mars the ascendant lord and Jupiter the functional benefice indicating trouble like death at early stage.  

02. 4^th house lord Saturn is conjoins 7^th and 12^th lord Venus within 30 degree radius in inimical sign. The most important is Saturn has covered in its 30 degree radius both Jupiter and Venus which may be called SubhaKartari but Venus-Jupiter are again in Paapa Kartari yoga and malevolence element of Saturn does not diluted and it will harm Venus for sure. Venus is in Saturn naksatra the 4^th lord and 3^rd lord of neighbour and again 3^rd house is apsected by Saturn-Mars-Rahu with Venus indicating sex abuse and dreadful premature death. 7^th house is aspected by Rahu karka of sudden event, the co-ruler of 4^th house and 7^th lord Venus as said indicating breakage or self-conjugal fidelity. Retro Mercury is the 8^th lord of intrusion and forceful sex aspects 4^th house. Nexus of conjugal force by neighbour is established in this chart.

03 [see lord of puberty sign Virgo and its lord Mercury in priority and then Cancer & Moon] Puberty lord Mercury is retrograde and sign Virgo are heavily afflicted. Mercury is in acute papa kartari of Sun-Rahu. Rahu is in MB in Virgo sign aspected by Mars & Saturn the most pitiful condition of the child indicated as puberty is shattered to pieces. Moon is having purna paxabala is aspected by 8^th lord Mercury.

04 Nakstra lord Jupiter is in Sarpa [Rahu] nakstra and sarpa a cruel sasthyamsa conjoined with Mars the death-inflicting planet in death house of 8^th, house of forceful sex in inequality. Protecting element of Jupiter ceases to work.

05 Navamsa chart independently confirm the event of rape.  

a.      In D9 chart ascendant is afflicted by Mandi and Saturn

b.      4^th lord Mercury is afflicted by Mars and aspected by Rahu the 12^th lord. Saturn the old age lord afflicts debilitated weak Venus the 3^rd [neighbour] & 8th lord.

Date:   August 30, 1939; Time:3:30:00 AM; Time Zone: 5:00:00 (West of GMT); Place:82 W 08' 25", 29 N 11' 13"; Ocala, Florida, USA; Ayanamsa:22-59-57.44; V Dasa at birth is Rahu upto 11-October, 1942. Sex Victimization/Rape 1977 in Bakersfield (Gang raped at a gas station, on a Saturday night in spring 1977)  [While she was checking out the pumps, three men came out of the darkness, very drunk. They beat her and dragged her into the bushes where all three raped her for a nightmare hour, then took her money and left.]

 01 Ascendant lord Moon in 8^th house of sex with force and intrusion with paxabala is in Rahu nakstra of 8^th house co-ruler aspected by it, conjoin Gulika. Ascendant Cancer sign is posited by 12^th lord Mercury and aspected by Mars.

02 4^th the house of fidelity is afflicted by Saturn and Rahu both ruler of 8^th house and 7^th house is afflicted by Saturn-Mars this is very prone case of rape by gang [rahu, saturn-4^th house], full of violence [Mars afflicted by 8^th lord] and last long painful [Saturn retrograde in ketu nakstra]. in addition, Venus is combust in ketu nakstra which is in Mrityu Bhaga aspected by Mars  is no more helpful.

03 Natural lord of shilatva and satitva is Moon and Cancer sign afflicted as said and Mercury-Virgo sign protected by Jupiter. But here what I feel is that Saturn retrogression has played it role as self-violating as 7-8^th lord, Venus minimum benefice being combust at critical moment and retrograde Jupiter might stumble to protect or may impact negative influence in case of darn need,where there is a rape prone element in the chart.

04 Protecting nakstra lord Jupiter is stumble to protect here as said above. It is retrograde in debilitated Saturn nakstra the 8^th lord. Jupiter is in kaala a creul sasthyamsa so also Moon in yama and Mercury in vahni.

05 Navamsa chart also tells the same story as all the planetary position indicates the rape prone chart. Sani-Ketu effect on 4^th house indicates desolated place or sani effect on 4^th and 7^th petrol station and sex in equality distorted,  also and Rahu  in 4^th and 8^th house effect indicates sundden attack by gang-mobs and forceful sex.   

06 Dasa relevance is Saturn MD and Jupiter AD [Chhidra Dasa! both way being last bhukti of Jupiter; Saturn being 22^nd dreskana lord and Jupiter 64^th navamsa lord] indicating the clear nexus of Jupiter stumble to protect and Saturn the forceful sex, a rape took place.

Sex Victimization/Rape July 1946 (Raped summer of 1946) ; Sex Victimization/Rape 26 April 1950 (Raped by two males) American numerologist, palmist and astrologer with a dramatic private life. Place of the rape is not given by the victim unable to discern.

01 Ascendant lord Saturn is with 7^th lord Moon indication some disruption in sexual relationship more to that is Saturn is in Purvabhadrapada nakstra and in navamsa it is hampered by Rahu-Mars in 4^th house taking in their rage Moon the 7^th lord and Sun the 5^th lord and 7^th and 8^th house. This is the prime factor inflicting rape.

02 Saturn and Rahu afflicting 8^th house of forceful or unwished sex and Saturn afflicting 8^th lord Sun and Mercury; Rahu  posited in 12^th housewith its lord and Venus, Mars the 4^th lord aspects 12^th and 12^th lord and also Venus, 4^th house is afflicted by Mars-Saturn-Rahu sex is dirtied by someone unknown.

03 Moon is in Yaksa, Mercury in Kaala and Venus in Kalinasa cruel sasthyamsa; Mercury is combust with 8^th lord and Gulika; is itself a very adverse for sex and puberty.  

04 Protecting nakstra lord Jupiter is not soothing as it is in Ketu nakstra and afflicted by nodes. Also Purvabhadrapada nakstra is occupied by painful lord Saturn; Saturn is rasiadhipati of this nakstra and is carrying the influence of 7^th and 12^th lord is also one of the reason why rape took place.

05 Navamsa chart is confirming the event as one can see that 4^th , 7^th and 8^th house and lords are interconnected with malefic planets with affliction to Venus.

06 See the Vimsottari Dasa relevance Rahu MD – Saturn AD impacting 8^th house and 8^th lord carrying the weightge of afflicted Venus and Jupiter. In the second event of rape it is Rahu MD – Ketu AD the nakstra lord of Jupiter-Venus both being protecting planets and afflicting them to cause the rape.
