Astrological Talent in the Chart of Evangeline Adams

In the previous post I commented on a Jaimini technique presented by Laura Barat for identifying astrological talent in the horoscope. One of the major Western astrologers of the last century was Evangeline Adams, so I thought it would be interesting to test this technique in her chart. Here is her chart cast in the tropical zodiac according the the birth information she published about her natal horoscope in her various texts, which were my first introduction to astrology back in the 1950s and 1960s. Data: 8 Feb 1868, 8:30 AM LMT, Jersey City, NJ.

In her YouTube video cited in the previous post Laura Barat tells us to consider the following:

The signs occupied by the atmakaraka in the birth chart and in the D9 varga. Adams’ atmakaraka is Venus, which occupies Pisces in the natal chart and Capricorn in the navamsa.

2. The pada of the Ascendant. Adams Asc lies in Pisces and its pada lies in Sagittarius.

3. The “upa-pada” of the Midheaven, which in Adams chart lies in Pisces.

Remembering to count in reverse zodiacal order from feminine signs, we must next determine whether Venus, Jupiter and/or Ketu occupy any of these signs or any sign the is in the 2nd, 3rd or 5th place from any of these signs. In addition there must be a connection with the 8th house which rules occult knowledge including astrology.

In Adam’s chart we see the following:

Venus is the atmakaraka and lies in Pisces in the Rasi chart and in Capricorn in the D9. Venus also rules the 8th sign/house Libra from the Lagna Ascendant in the Rasi chart. Mars rules the 8th bhava cusp in the Rasi chart and conjoins Venus in the D9 chart. Venus and mars also lie in the 2nd sign from the pada Jupiter in the D9 chart.

Jupiter occupies Pisces and conjoins the Venus atmakaraka in the Rasi chart and also occupies Libra in the D9 chart. Libra is the 8th sign from the Pisces Lagna in the Rasi chart.

Ketu occupies Pisces and conjoins the Venus atmakaraka in the Rasi chart.

Thus, according to this method, all three “astrological planets” (Venus, Jupiter and Ketu) are activated and there are many connections involving the 8th house, indicating that Evangeline Adams is strongly disposed to become an astrologer.
