M.S. Subbulakshmi

(16th September 1916 ...)

Akhila Kumar(The writer, an M Phil in Music, is currently engaged in writing a book on divine music.

After completing her two-year course in astrology from Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan, New

Delhi, she now teaches astrology there.)

A Musical Saga

A simple, soft natured M.S. Subbulakshmi was born on a Saturday, krishna panchami,gara karna and harshana yoga, in a devdasi family. To her we credit the rise of Carnatic

music, which was brought out of the cloistered doors of the devdasis to the public andgave it the respectable position it enjoys today.

She did not have any formal education in her childhood but her musical talent wasevident. At the age of four or five she sang before the audience. She had an elder sister,

who died pretty early and a younger brother, who died in 1986.

Both siblings too were musically talented. She got married in 1940 to Kaki Sudasivam.Though the couple does not have any children, Sudasivam has children from his first

wife. However, her husband, who has ego problems with her, has eclipsed her

personality.

Main features of the horoscope1. Lagna is Libra. Two malefic planets afflict the lagna lord

Venus placed in the 10th house with yogkaraka Saturn (4th

and 5th lord) and Ketu.

2. Second lord Mars in lagna is aspected by Moon and Jupiter. Association of the 2nd

lord with Jupiter in a kendra makes a person very prosperous. Here, the association ofthe 10th lord Moon also exists and this makes the even more person very prosperous.

3. Third lord Jupiter (retrograde) is in the 7th house with the 10th lord Moon, a friendlyhouse and aspected by Mars and Saturn. Third lord associated with a benefic in a

kendra, the person enjoys the company of relatives but the aspect of malefic planets is

not good.

Ketu. Association of 4th and 5th lord with the lagna lord in a kendra gives comforts,property, success, name and fame but the association of a malefic planet Ketu also

property, success, name and fame but the association of a malefic planet Ketu also

9. Eleventh lord Sun is placed in the 12th house with an exalted 9th lord, Mercury and

aspected by the 4th and 5th lord Saturn. The lord of gain in the 12th means expenditurefor good causes.

Yogas1. Kendra-kona yoga occurs in the 12th house with 11th lord

Sun and the 9th and 12th lord Mercury.

Personal Life

M.S. Subbulakshmis horoscope is a brilliant one with five planets in kendras (1, 4, 7,10). When all the kendras become strong, the person rises in life.She is a simple, kind and loving person with a highly philosophical outlook. See thelagna lord Venus in the 10th house, with 4th and 5th lord Saturn in Rahu/Ketu axis. The

lord of purva punya (5th house) and lagna lord with another spiritual planet Ketu, gyanakaraka, in the house of karma explain this aspect.

All the planets are connected with her 10th house. Venus aspecting the 10th house fromMoon indicates an excellent career in the artistic field. Saturn placed in the 10th gives

success in the chosen sphere and here Saturn is in the 10th house with Venus and Ketuand the same combination influences the 10th from the Moon. Venus denotes fine artsand Ketu devotion, so this gave success in devotional music.

For artistic talents the kama trikonas (3, 7, 11 houses) are also to be examined. In therashi chart, 3rd house is Dhanu and its lord Jupiter, a benefic planet, is with anotherbenefic, Moon. Both are placed in another kama trikona.

At the same time this combination is aspected by both Mars nd Saturn, which points to

troubles, even in voice (Mars is 2nd lord). Another kama trikona lord, Sun is with theexalted Mercury in the 12th house, again pointing towards good education in artistic andspiritual fields.Classical music has always been a traditional subject and treated likesadhana by its exponents.

In the navamsha, the lagna is Meena and lagna and 10th lord Jupiter is exalted in the5th, aspected by 2nd 9th lord, again the knowledge of shastras and spirituality gainsimportance. The aspect of the 6th lord Sun shows success after struggles.

Fifth lord Moon is with Venus in the 9th and aspected by Jupiter. The dasamsha lagna is

Mesha with Saturn (10th and

11th lord) and Ketu in lagna. Lagna lord is in the 11th house. Here the 2nd and 7th lordVenus is in the 4th house with the exalted 9th and 12th lord, Jupiter and aspected byMercury, the 3rd and 6th lord, from the 10th house. The 10th house receives the aspectVenus and Jupiter, indicating a successful career. The 3rd lord Mercury, aspected byJupiter and Venus, gives a melodic and soft voice.

M.S. Subbulakshmiís mother was a famous vainika. The 3rd lord from the 4th house ofmother is Jupiter and in the 4th house, aspected by Mars and Saturn. The 3rd house isaspected by Sun and Mercury. The combination of Jupiter and Moon confers aproficiency in fine arts and the aspect of Mars and Saturn denotes instrument.

Her grandmother was also a violinist, see the 4th from the 7th (for motherís mother).Venus, Saturn and Ketu are placed there. Venus gives artistic talents and with Saturnand Ketu again proficiency in instrumental music is indicated.

Her father died when she was 10 years old. The 9th lord Mercury is exalted in the 12thand conjunct with Sun and aspected by Saturn. The karaka for father, Sun, is afflicted.In the dwadasamsha, lagna lord Venus is in the 8th house and aspected by Jupiter. The9th lord Saturn is with the Sun and aspected by Mars. All these features do not promisea long life of father.

Her elder sister died early and the younger brother died in 1986. For elder siblings,11th house and 11th lord is to be examined. Eleventh lord Sun is with Mercury in the12th houseand aspected by Saturn. Mercury, placed in an even sign has taken on itsfeminine qualities; also Saturn aspects it from an even sign and is in the company of

Venus and Ketu. Majorityinfluences on the 11th lord are feminine. The karaka is Jupiterand is with Moon and aspected by Mars and Saturn. The 11th house is in papkartariand the 8th lord from 11th house is Jupiter placed with the 12th lord from 11th. Themalefic aspect by Mars and Saturn confirms the short span of life.

Her elder sister was also musically talented, a vainika. Fourth from 11th is Vrischikaand the lord Mars is in the 3rd house, one of the kama trikona, and aspected by Jupiterand Moon.

The karaka for younger siblings, Mars is in lagna. The brother was a mridangist.Thirdlord, Jupiter, is placed in the 7th with the Moon and is aspected by Mars and Saturn,indicating proficiency in instrumental music.

Dreshkon lagna is Kumbha and lagna lord is placed in the 6th. This does not show agood picture for the elder sister. 11th lord Jupiter is in the 7th, in papkartari andreceives the aspect of Mars. But for younger brother, 3rd lord Mars in lagna isaspected by Jupiter, which did give him reasonable longevity.

Jaimini Angle1. Tula Lagna with Matrukaraka (MK) Mars, totally unaspected.

In navamshaKanya is the 7th rashi and aspected by none, so it becomes weak. Makar is the 11thrashi in which DK Sun and MK Mars are placed. Mars is aspected by GK

Saturn, Ketu and AK Mercury. Thus longevity was affected.

Chara: Kanya/Kanya. The reasons have already been discussed.

In the dasha of the 12th placed Mercury, M.S. Subbulakshmi is leading a retired life. In

chara also it is Kanya dasha, the 12th from her lagna. The connection of 12th house orlord to the 10th gives withdrawal from profession and in her case, a peaceful retired life

too.

Moreover, from all the features and events discussed, her life is deeply connected to the

5th, 9th and 11th dharma and karma trikonas. With these influences came about hercharity activities and the devotion to the arts. Perhaps, she was born to be a

philanthropist and work for the upliftment of art and the needy.
