Chakrapani Ullal: I don’t know anything about paintings because I am not an artist. I don’t know how to draw a picture. But I can see. And I see the charts.
Planets are nothing but energy. When a person is born, at the time he is born, how the planets are distributed in the sky gives you certain types of energy. So that is how some people become certain types of people. And, by making effort, when the wisdom is there, that’s called destiny. What is destiny? It means things are going to happen anyway. But when, when effort is there, they are able to overcome some of their destiny and make progress.
Charles White. He is born with Virgo rising. Virgo rising means hard work, always. Little more suffering. Virgo is connected with health, Virgo is connected with hard work, Virgo is connected with overcoming oppositions and obstacles. That’s what Virgo is. It’s the Sixth House of the Zodiac. Means Sixth House is the house of struggle. So He’s born with that. So, to over come that, he had to be very strong. And that strength is indicated by the way he looks. He looks very, very intensely. Become as if it is heavy, nobody can shift him. He had a very independent spirit. He wanted to overcome the challenges, because the sun is situated in the Seventh House. The sun is a planet of freedom. It is in the Seventh House aspecting the rising sign very strongly. He’s looking at the sun—“I want to get out of all these challenges and difficulties, I want to make it work for me.”
Fortunately, he has got Jupiter in the Ninth House. The Ninth House, Jupiter is always connected with good luck, good fortune, growth, progress, prosperity, philosophy, and spirituality. These are all indicated by the Ninth House. And that, Jupiter brings that. But, the Tenth House is occupied with the Ketu, Ketu is in the Tenth House. Ketu is mysterious, mystical, unusual, strange, and unconventional. It keeps changing.
And if you look at his chart, Saturn is in the Eleventh House and Saturn is a planet of suffering. Because it is the planet which is pushing people towards truth. Towards perfection. And therefore truth or perfection, when you want to achieve them and you want to go for that, you have to suffer. You see without suffering it does not come. That means you overcome all other planetary indications, and then it brings progress.
And he had a certain charm and magnetism in his personality. He attracted people. Made friends very easily. And that charm and magnetism in his personality made people talk to him. So, that, that’s the kind of idea I do get from this painting, and from this chart.
