Osho Rajnish: Horoscope Analysis

Acharya Rajneesh Osho was born with Taurus Ascendant, and as a result, the 7th house of social norms and societal acceptance falls under Scorpio, the sign of transformation. This mirrors the chart of Lord Shree Krishna.

Osho’s unconventional ideas faced strong resistance and opposition from society, reflecting Scorpio’s transformative influence.
While many enjoy reading or listening to Osho’s teachings, following them can be challenging, much like how people relate to the Bhagavad Gita.

In his birth chart, Jupiter, the ruler of the 8th house, is exalted in the 3rd house, which governs communication and public speaking (Osho’s discourse). This signifies that his ideas were unique, profound, and resonated widely (exalted and retrograde Jupiter), though this brought both admiration and criticism. Osho began his career as a philosophy teacher, and retrograde planets in his chart contributed to some unexpected outcomes.

The alignment of the 12th lord with Venus, the Ascendant lord, and Saturn, the 9th lord, indicates foreign travel and settlement, which came to fruition when his followers established Rajneeshpuram in the USA. Despite having no malefic planets in his 4th house, he was eventually deported and returned to India.

Osho reached his peak during the Mahadasha of Rahu, but his decline occurred in the Mahadasha of Jupiter. Rahu in the 11th house often brings favorable results, while planets aspected by Jupiter generally yield positive outcomes. However, retrograde Jupiter tends to negatively impact areas such as family, marriage, and children. Additionally, Saturn’s placement in the 8th house suggests a prolonged period of illness before his eventual death.

When four or more Planets are in the same house, it forms a Pravajra yoga. The person with this yoga struggles hard but he will be unstoppable. He will be a hard worker and excels in an unconventional way. There are five planets in his 8th house, which is the house of unknown, research and hidden wealth. He was very calm and composed in his style, and he was a learner and a reader. He delved deeper in spirituality which was unorthodox. He defied all the orthodox believes. He brought a new way and approach to spirituality which was totally different from the conventional point of view but that is how, something new emanates. He was reluctant to captivate but disseminated his learnings worldwide and had been respected by the West.
