So here we go.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Forbes list of the world\u2019s billionaires in 2020, Jeff Bezos ranks first in the 3rd consecutive year. According to Wikipedia, Bezos is an American internet entrepreneur, industrialist, media proprietor, and investor. He is best known as the founder, CEO, and president of the multinational technology company Amazon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This first post will analyze his natal chart by traditional techniques, mostly Hellenistic techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.haydonluo.com\/astro\/2020\/07\/23\/jeff-bezos-the-worlds-richest-person-2020-part-1-decode-bezoss-fame-and-wealth\/#Bezoss_Birthtime\" >Bezos\u2019s Birthtime<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.haydonluo.com\/astro\/2020\/07\/23\/jeff-bezos-the-worlds-richest-person-2020-part-1-decode-bezoss-fame-and-wealth\/#Jupiter_is_the_captain_of_the_chart\" >Jupiter is the captain of the chart<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.haydonluo.com\/astro\/2020\/07\/23\/jeff-bezos-the-worlds-richest-person-2020-part-1-decode-bezoss-fame-and-wealth\/#Academic_Excellence_and_Business_Talent\" >Academic Excellence and Business Talent<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.haydonluo.com\/astro\/2020\/07\/23\/jeff-bezos-the-worlds-richest-person-2020-part-1-decode-bezoss-fame-and-wealth\/#Social_Status\" >Social Status<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.haydonluo.com\/astro\/2020\/07\/23\/jeff-bezos-the-worlds-richest-person-2020-part-1-decode-bezoss-fame-and-wealth\/#Wealth\" >Wealth<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bezoss_Birthtime\"><\/span>Bezos\u2019s Birthtime<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bezos was born on January 12, 1964. His birthtime is not available in Astrodatabank. Another website, Astrotheme, gives 11:33 AM without source. There are several astrologers using this time. However, Isaac Starkman rectified it to 15:52:08 MST. After carefully checking the major events in Bezos\u2019s life, which I\u2019ll explain in detail in my next post, I am confident to conclude that Starkman\u2019s 3:52 PM is correct and accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/lkOQxSAki8LAeuraQVTibXBUsARV0_GoaH-eTrAgXrViZZV16mWfsNr-I3Y5ZOk4sMgNLanqRkYxVRWLaGhYiEOxEY5-kskFv0q0xaNv4yuYbG_ubUl2-NT4jRRGQnYLYHAogjcX\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Bezos\u2019s chart, using 15:52:08 MST, in sidereal zodiac (Krishnamurti ayanamsha)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jupiter_is_the_captain_of_the_chart\"><\/span>Jupiter is the captain of the chart<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Lights are in Sagittarius, Jupiter\u2019s domicile. Jupiter also has rulership on Ascendant and Fortune by term. Itself occupies the 10th image and the 10th quadrant house. Therefore, Jupiter is the <em>kurios<\/em>, i.e. the captain of the chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Firmicus Maternus,\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Those who have Jupiter as ruler of the chart are always trustworthy, of high spirit, and are impelled toward great deeds. \u2026 Command\u00ading in all their acts, noble, famous, honorable, lovers of luxury, cheerful, \u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This delineation fits Bezos very well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, the captain of the chart has something to do with the native\u2019s social status. In Bezos\u2019s case, Jupiter is at the angle and its domicile, and receives both Lights. I would say any of these conditions can increase his eminence. So overall, Jupiter gives Bezos Lots of advantages pursuing rank and fame. There are more indicators in the chart that confirm and reinforce his social status. I\u2019ll discuss them later in this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Academic_Excellence_and_Business_Talent\"><\/span>Academic Excellence and Business Talent<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, the significator of profession is taken from the three swift planets. Mercury is his significator of the profession, because it is angular (exact on the Descendant to be specific) and it has power in the Ascendant.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mercury is visible. Although it is subtracting the number, it is regarded by both Lights, so it is still strong. Mercury is received by the dignified Jupiter so Mercury is also very benefic.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such a strong and resourceful Mercury contributes to his academic excellence and business talent. Bezos graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University. Later, he worked on Wall Street and eventually founded Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Social_Status\"><\/span>Social Status<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sun is the sect light in very good conditions: in hayz, in its own trigon, and received by its domicile lord. All of its three trigon lords have some dignities, and two of them are angular. Following the Hellenistic doctrine, I would say the native will have high eminence. In Hellenistic astrology, eminence refers to not only the high rank of the native in the society but also a huge impact on society. Indeed, according to Wikipedia, Amazon is the largest Internet company by revenue in the world, the second-largest private employer in the United States, and one of the world\u2019s most valuable companies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valens also emphasizes Fortune in the assessment of eminence. Under Krishnamurti ayanamsha, the zodiac measurement that I use, Fortune falls in Taurus, with its lord falls in 10th image from it, signifying good fortune and high eminence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wealth\"><\/span>Wealth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vettius Valens, a Hellenistic astrologer, always considered the Fortune and its lord as indicators of prosperity. As I mentioned above, Lord of Fortune is found culminating from Lot of Fortune. In addition, Lord (Venus) is in conjunction with the Lord\u2019s lord (Saturn). Although this conjunction is out-of-sign, I still consider it a mundane conjunction, meaning that Venus is receiving resources from Saturn, an indication of huge wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valens also mentioned to examine the Place of Acquisition. In Bezos\u2019s chart, Jupiter presents there. It\u2019s worth mentioning that if Bezos was born at 11:33 AM, two malefics would be present there. This is an argument against the 11:33 AM birthtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>William Lilly, a Renaissance astrologer, emphasized the sign on the 2nd house cusp and its ruler. In Bezos\u2019s case, Moon is received by a strong Jupiter, another indication of huge wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haydonluo.com\/astro\/2020\/07\/23\/jeff-bezos-the-worlds-richest-person-2020-part-2-the-timing-of-major-events-in-bezoss-life\/\">next post<\/a>, I\u2019ll use predictive techniques to examine major events in Bezos\u2019s life, and explain why 3:52 PM is the correct birthtime instead of 11:33 AM.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Image Attribution:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><em>Featured image by Joe Klamar\/AFP\/Getty Images<\/em><\/li><li><em>Astrological chart by Morinus, a free open-source astrology program written in Python<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the first post on my astrology blog.
