Verghese Kurien (26 November 1921 – 9 September
2012) was an Indian social entrepreneur who is known as the Father of White
Revolution in India for his Operation Flood, the world's largest agricultural
development programme. This transformed India from a milk-deficient nation to
the world's largest milk producer, surpassing the United States of America in
1998, with about 17 percent of global output in 2010–11, which in 30 years
doubled milk available to every person. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verghese_Kurien
At this
blogsite we have so far shown how important events can be seen in eclipse
charts progressed to the date of the event. A corollary to this would be that “movers
and shakers” are born on those days when a pre-natal eclipse is triggered it
should be possible to decipher their work of destiny by a study of that eclipse.
Kurien was born on 26 November 1921 at Calicut, Madras Presidency (now
Kozhikode, Kerala) into a Syrian Christian family. The total solar eclipse of Oct. 1, 1921 took
place at sunset on the descendant at Calicut.
This powerful eclipse was conjunct Jupiter-Saturn, square Pluto quincunx
Uranus. If we progress the eclipse chart to 26
November 1921, Kurien’s date of birth, we find that the progressed MC conjoins
Uranus triggering the complex configuration involving the eclipse.
Jupiter-Saturn conjunction: Big dreams;
Creativity; Futurism; Contagious enthusiasm; Leadership; Breakthroughs and new
beginnings; Ideas ahead of their time or for which “the technology does not yet
exist” [1].
Jupiter-Pluto square: The desire to lead the
masses; an appreciation of the need for social regeneration; a brilliant gift
for organization [2].
Uranus trine Pluto: The attainment of great
objectives by an immense application of effort, bringing of new things into
being, the creation of new conditions of living [2].
The
eclipse is conjunct epsilon (ε) Virgo, Vindemiatrix, a bright yellow star in
the right wing, or right arm, of the Virgin. In ancient times Virgo was perceived as a Maiden of fruition through the
Harvest. Even so, much of the ancient mythology attached to the sign combines
allegory concerned with harvesting the fruits of the earth. Therefore, if we
now combine this with the additional information that the eclipse [8li] is
square the asteroid Diana [8cn] linked to animals [3]we can see how “harvesting
of the fruits of the earth” becomes connected to “milk production from cows and
buffaloes”.
Kurien is regarded as one of the greatest proponents
of the cooperative movement in the world, his work having lifted millions out
of poverty in India and outside. Notice that the eclipse along with Jupiter-Saturn makes a hard aspect
to a Neptune-TNP Cupido conjunction. Cupido [3] is a TNP associated with groups and
cooperatives so that in its positive
manifestation the Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune combination is the fulfillment (Saturn)
of a big (Jupiter) dream (Neptune) cooperative (Cupido) project.
Finally, notice
that the progressed Ascendant [16ge] on Kurein’s birthday is in sidereal Taurus
and conjunct the star Rigel.
Sidereal Taurus is of earthy and material
matters: of building, business, construction, the home and family, property,
stability and balance. It is fixed in its ways, industrious, persistent,
determined and laborious. Rigel, Beta Orion, (and this part of sidereal Taurus)
is of enterprising entrepreneurialism. Orions in general are known for their
architectural capacity. Prominent alignments with Rigel (and Bellatrix) bring
the capacity to embody, direct and execute large, extravagant and grandiose
projects; bringing good through commerce and business affairs [4].
