RDJ- Iron Man
Robert Downey Jr, also known as RDJ, is an American actor. One of the highest-grossing actors of all time, his films as a leading actor have grossed over $14 billion worldwide. He was born with a Cancer ascendant, with a nature known to be sensitive, receptive and emotional. With a fantastic, active imagination, prudent, good forethought and planning are the strong features of a person born on a Cancer ascendant. The lord Moon is placed in the 10th house of the sign Aries, to give him Amala Yoga – one who is virtuous and has luxuries. Mars as the lord of Aries supports the tenth house and Saturn from its own sign of Aquarius also aspects Aries to create Sarala Yoga for one who is long-lived, fearless, learned, celebrated and prosperous. The Moon is in ‘the stars’ of Bharni Nakshatra: amongst other things, it is known for ‘cruel actions like killing and torture’-representative of some of his movie roles.
The 10th house is the best in horoscopes and deals with the growth and prosperity. All planets in the 10th house generally give very good results. It connects with the 6th house of health and service, the 7th house of relationships / associates, 9th house of higher knowledge and 12th house of sleep – bad actions done could adversely affect sleep. The sign of Aries has Shubha Kartari Yoga, the 10th house gains by beneficial planets on both sides, in the 9th and 11th houses, thus aiding successful engagement in desired acting roles, until the decision is made to retire and/or focus on producing movies.
It should come as no surprise that Robert’s ‘Jati Graha’,the planet of Venus is exalted in the 9th house conjoined his Sun and Mercury in the sign of Pisces. This Nipuna Yoga led him to be skilful, an expert, well known and respected in the movie industry. Venus is the planet that rules his profession in this lifetime. From 2013 to 2015 he was listed by Forbes as Hollywood’s highest-paid actor.
Venus is also the lord of his Arudha Lagna – his image as the highest paid actor in Hollywood.
During the Vimsottari Dosa, the time period from 2013 to 2015, Jupiter MD and [Mercury AD – gave the results of an exalted Venus); Jupiter exchanged with Venus in the highest exchange between two beneficial planets, what we term as ‘Parivartona Yoga’ the highest union in Vedic Astrology. This Raja Yoga, gained from these planets associated from birth, does take time to fruitify and act as though in their own signs of Taurus and Pisces. This involves the 9th house where Venus is exalted and represents love partners in this life. Susan Levin, his second wife, helped Robert to manage his drug addiction and revive his acting career to gain more accolades and financial rewards. Further, Mercury associates with Jupiter placed in the 11th house to give excellent friends, fulfilled hopes, freedom from debts and help from powerful people.
To further analyze his financial successes, we find his Bhava Lagna (BL) at 15 degrees and ascendant at 20 degrees of Cancer. Bhava Lagna is for Robert’s thought process on what he wants from life. BL is just 5 degrees apart and is responsible for his mindset being in harmony with his personality.
Hora Lagna is in the 5th house of the sign Scorpio with ‘Agni’ fire energy of both lords, Ketu is placed there and the other lord Mars gives a permanent aspect to support this house significations. HL will reveal to Robert what is realistic; it is what he can get in abundance; as Mars and Ketu are malefic planets the gains would be that of quantity as opposed to quality.
RDJ’s Pranapada – life-force, is extremely strong. Robert in his role as Iron Man has the necessary energy power for fighting action scenes done over long periods of time during the filming of avenger movies
Gatika Lagna shows Robert how to get what he wants and it is the 4th house of the sign Libra; there is enough ‘Jala’ the influence of water energy, as the planets of Venus and Moon help him to engage his emotional dexterity in his role as Iron Man.
Association of lagna, BL, HL, and GL gave Yogada the yoga for wealth, prosperity, power and authority.
The 5th house from GL is how one comes to power and it is the sign of Aquarius; as the lord Saturn is there placed, this means that the ‘uccha nata’ – exaltation lord will give the results and that planet is Venus. A signification for Venus is professions related to entertainment. Acting has led Robert Downey Jr to become extremely popular especially in his acting role of Iron Man to the paying viewers of avenger movies.
The planet Mars is placed in the 2nd house in the sign of Leo, a sign known for persons who are magnanimous, candid, generous, dignified, confident, ambitious and proud. Mars as the lord of the 5th house, the sign of Scorpio, placed in the 2nd house of wealth and assets of all kinds, makes for a love for money and good finances. Mars as lord and aspects of the 5th house and 10th house makes it the planet of Yoga Karaka in his horoscope. Furthermore, Mars connects the BL, HL and GL to bring his thought process in harmony for his wants, how to make use of the resources available to him and move ahead to his professional goal.
