Baha’u’llah (November 12, 1817 – May 29, 1892)

To start with, I am not a Baha’i, so the inclusion of this photograph is not meant disrespectfully. There are plenty of people who might take exception to that, but it is the nature of these posts to present my point-of-view about historical people and events.

The “Glory of God” is the individual who started a religious movement in Iran, but he didn’t choose to be the leader: the Bab announced his coming (like John the Baptist did for Jesus), and a go-between handed the tablet to Mírzá Ḥusayn-ʻAlí Núrí, who accepted the role as Prophet-Founder of the Baha’i Faith when he was 27. He then changed his name to Baha’u’llah.

The birth of Mirza Husayn `Aliy-i-Nuri (Baha’u’llah), happened at dawn,  in Tihran. His mother was Khadijih Khanum and His father was Mirza `Abbas, (also known as Mirza Buzurg).

This is the chart for dawn of that day in 1817. But what if the timing was passed down as symbolic, and not factual? The dawning of a new age…

When I first looked at his birth chart, I rectified his birth to reflect his marrying at age 18 (Venus), and being told of his spiritual role at age 27 (Mercury) (while subtly noting that these two numbers are multiples of 9, the sacred number of the Baha’i Faith). Hmm.

Here’s the chart I erected:

I think this one is better suited to his personality, if I may be so bold as to say that. His destiny (North Node @ 17° Taurus 45′) is better placed in the 1st House.

The only inconjunct is fixed between Venus and Pluto in both charts, so it is factual.

With this aspect you must learn a great deal about the kinds of friends you want and the kinds of experiences you will have through other people. Even while you are still young, you may meet persons who are quite difficult to get along with, but who seem to be impossible to get away from, even when you want to. You may be fascinated by such persons, or circumstances may force you to stay with them. These people do have a definite role to play in your life, but it may not always be a pleasant one. They will teach you something about life or about yourself.

However, you don’t have to put up with difficult or unpleasant relationships, because if you think about it, you will realize that you are drawn to these people in order to fulfill your own hidden emotional needs. Think about what you really want from others so that you can find it in a better relationship. And if you encounter people who won’t allow you any freedom, which can happen with this aspect, then avoid them.
