I have studied jyotish formally since
September 2009 with AIAC, Chicago with

introductory books by David Frawley and
James Braha. I first studied western
astrology along with yoga shankarya
philosophy and related subjects in 1974 at
The Temple of Kriya Yoga here in Chicago.

BSP rule is where Rahu sits it gives
effects more in the 37th year of ones
life for that house (at times) and its 9th
aspect implements itself in the 37th
year.
Sp. Note: When it comes to retrograde planets and especially Rahu always
remember that event can be round about and being retrograde event can
happen before or later than the appointed time. Basically it will not follow
any fixed rules.
Chart 1: Marilyn Monroe

Date: June 1, 1926

Time: 9:30:00 am
Time Zone: 8:00:00 (West of GMT)
Place: 118 W 14' 34", 34 N 03' 08"
Los Angeles, California, USA

37th year would be June 1962 to June 1963, Rahu is placed in the 12H of Exit and
its 9th aspect would fall in the 8H of death where 6L of disease/accident
Jupiter (Jeeva Life) is placed, thus the scandal and mystery signification of
Rahu implemented itself in the 37th year of Marilyn Monroes life and she
reportedly died of a drug overdose on August 5, 1962.
Chart 2 : Dick Cheney
Date: January 30, 1941
Time: 7:30:00 pm
Time Zone: 6:00:00 (West of GMT)
Place: 96 W 40' 00", 40 N 48' 00"
Lincoln, Nebraska, USA

Richard Bruce "Dick" Cheney (born January 30, 1941) served as

the 46th Vice President of the United States from 2001 to 2009 under George.
He briefly served as Acting President of the United States on two occasions
during which Bush underwent medical procedures. His 37th year would be
from 30th Jan 1977 to 30th Jan 1978.
Rahu is sitting in the sign of Virgo which is the natural house of diseases, the
BSP rule says that where Rahu sits it implements itself in the 37th year and
Rahu is the karaka for smoking and drinking. Once a heavy smoker, Cheney
sustained the first of five heart attacks in 1978, at age 37.
Rahu is sitting in the 2H of administration and its 9th aspect would be on the
10H of career which would implement itself in the 37th year with some
important administrative profession carrying the influence of 2H and Rahu to
it. ADB & Wikipedia gives that in 1978 (37th year), he was elected to the U.S.
House of Representatives from Wyoming, and subsequently reelected five times
and from which he was selected to be Secretary of Defense by George H. W.
Bush in 1989. As the date of his election in 1978 to the U.S House of
Representatives is not given in both ADB and Wikipedia it is assumed that it
might have been in 1978 but probably after Jan 1978, technically making it the
38th year (active year) thus this BSP rule is not working very soundly on this
chart though the difference would be only of few months which is possible
considering that transit influences might have delayed it & so on.
Chart 3: Alan Leo

Natal Chart
Date: August 7, 1860
Time: 5:49:00 am
Time Zone: 0:00:00 (West of GMT)
Place: 0 W 09' 00", 51 N 30' 00"
London, United Kingdom

Data given in his book "Esoteric Astrology." In his book, The Progressed
Horoscope, he published his chart with the word approximately after the
time. Roddens Ratings gives a B rating to the birth time.
37th year will be from Aug 1896 to Aug 1897, his Rahu sitting in the 6H aspects
the 2H of family life whose lord is Mercury, and also is the 11th lord of wife.
He married in 1896 (date not known), a relationship that was said to be
platonic. Although his time of birth is given a B rating and hence Navamsa
cannot be depended upon, for the sake of theory lets visit his Navamsa and
apply this BSP method of Rahus 9th aspect in the 37th year.

Rahu sits in the 12H and aspects the 8th house by his 9th aspect and there in the
8H one finds Mars the 7L of marriage, which is what happened to him in the
37th year. By seeing this combination one can broadly also say that there
would have been rise in his occult knowledge or gain of status in occult fields
after this event of marriage.

Chart 4: Volunteer
Chart belongs to one of our volunteers, Rahu sits in the 7H of marriage and 37th
year would be from May 2009 to May 2010. As per the BSP rule Rahu
implements itself in the 37th year where he sits, so you can find that as here Rahu
sits in the 7H of marriage he got married at this late age. Several stalwarts in
astrology had predicted his marriage with predictions ranging from 28th year
to 36th year except 2-3 astrologers. Rahus 9th aspect will implement itself in
the 3H where Moon is placed who is the 2nd lord of family life. A child was
also born to him in the 37th year of life thereby indicating gain of family. The
natives Navamsa is suspect but just for the sake of application procedures we
would use it.

If we use true nodes the Rahu goes in 6H whereas with mean nodes Rahu is in
the 7H with Moon, earlier you saw the connection of Rahu Moon and it is to
be noted that he got married in Moon AD. Coming back to Rahu it
implements itself in the 37th year and here in D9 it sits in the 7H of marriage
with Moon.

Chart 5: Volunteer of Saptarishis Astrology

Chart belongs to one of our volunteers, 37th year would be from Sept 2004 to
Sept 2005. Note here that Rahu sits in the 5H aspecting the 1H and the 1st lord
Mars goes in the 9H of father.

He was asked 37 year of ur life what happened re 1st house, 9th house and did it have
flavor of Rahu ?
His reply

if u r referring 2005 the 37th year, then in Feb 8, 2005, I lost my father and the same
year my wife business partner left her after doing some fraud regarding money in
April-May.

If you notice the 1H where Rahu aspects, would be the 7th house of business
and business partner from the 7H of wife. Thus Rahus flavor was
implemented by its 9th aspect and her business partner cheated her. The lord of
this 1H where Rahu is aspecting is disposited in the 9H of father so some
event can happen in the life of father.

Chart 6: John F Kennedy

American author, politician and the 35th U.S. President from 1961-63, the first
Catholic and the youngest man to win the nation's highest office. The 37th
year would be from May 1953 to May 1954. Rahu sits in the 4H of home life,
Rahus dispositor Jupiter who is the 7L of marriage goes into the 9H of a
Dharmic Event with Venus (woman). Rahus 9th aspect goes to the 12H where
Moon is placed who is the 11th lord of wife of D1 and also in D9 he is the 11L of
wife. Kennedy married Jacqueline Bouvier on 9/12/1953, 11:00 AM EDT,
Newport, RI which will be in the 37th year of his life. It is to be noted that
Rahu aspects J in Sarvatobhadra Chakra and his wifes name is Jacqueline.

Chart 7: Another Volunteer of Saptarishis Astrology

Chart of another volunteer, Rahu is in the 6th house of job whose lord Jupiter
is in the 8th (of change) from 4H of residence. Rahus 9th aspect would be on
the 2H whose lord is Mars placed in Cancer in the 10H of ones career, so an
event regarding his career can happen in his 37th year which would be from
Aug 2004 to Aug 2005. Native works in Defense and he had a transfer from
Visakhapatnam to Hyderabad.

Application on Divisional Charts

In his D60 this Rahu BSP technique can be applied, his Rahu is in the 12H its
9th aspect will fall in the 37th year in 8H of change whose lord Sun is in the 3H
of change of residence with Venus the 10th lord of career so he changed his
location to Hyderabad due to career.

Chart 8: Montgomery Clift

Natal Chart (ADB rating AA)

Date: October 17, 1920
Time: 2:30:00 am
Time Zone: 6:00:00 (West of GMT)
Place: 95 W 56' 15", 41 N 15' 31"

Omaha, Nebraska, USA

Rahu the karaka of drugs & alcohol abuse sits in the 3H of travelling aspected by
4th Lord of vehicles co-lord Ketu, note this and also the fact that it is conjoined
with body lord Sun.

37th year is October 1956 to October 1957.

Rahus 9th aspect is in the 11th House which is the 8th (dangers) from the 4th
house of vehicle & chastity and in the sign of Gemini which signifies hands &
travelling.

Well known Hollywood actor and friend of Elizabeth Taylor (co-starred in

three films together including Raintree County in 1957). He crashed his car
into a telephone pole (communications Gemini) on May 12, 1956 (before the 37th
year) after he left the home of Elizabeth Taylor, leaving him disfigured (note
lagna lords involvement). The subsequent long months of recovery occurred
during the 37th year, which he did not handle well. As a result, his drinking
increased heavily (rahu) and he began stockpiling thousands of pills, both
legitimate and recreational. His substance abuse (rahu) and related relationship
problems plagued him until he died in 1966.

In the navamsa below, Rahu sits in the 8th House in Aquarius aspected by its
lord and 7th house lord, Saturn in the 6th (health) substantiating long term
health issues exacerbated by relationship issues. Rahus 9th aspect is the 4th
House wherein lies the Sun (health karaka) who is debilitated in 4th house of
vehicles. So in the 37th year he should be careful of vehicles and health.
Chart 9: Franklin Roosevelt

Natal Chart (ADB rating AA)

Date: January 30, 1882
Time: 8:45:00 pm
Time Zone: 4:55:44 (West of GMT)
Place: 73 W 56' 01", 41 N 47' 05"
Hyde Park, New York, USA

37th year is January 1918 to January 1919.

Rahus 9th aspect is the 11th house (Cancer) whose ruler is in the 10th (Gemini)
with Mars (R). Natal Rahu is in the 3rd in Scorpio the natural 8th house of sex
scandals, note this & also the Aroodam of the 8th house. 3L Mars is karaka of
the 3rd as well as lord and sits in the 10H of career, so some major event in his
career should happen.

Life changing (and career changing) relationships were initiated and

developed. In 1918, Roosevelt visited Britain and France to inspect American
naval facilities and during this visit he met Winston Churchill, his future ally
in World War II, for the first time. Also, in 1918 (37th year), his wife Eleanor
learned that her husband was having an affair (rahu) with her secretary, Lucy
Mercer. Eleanor found letters revealing the affair in Roosevelt's luggage when
he returned from World War I. Their marriage survived, but in name only.
Note that Lucy was a secretary who is involved in typing and taking notes (3H matter
where Rahu sits) and Roosevelts wife discovered letters (again a 3rd H matter where
Rahu sits).

In the navamsa below, by Rahus 9th aspect to the 7th House of marriage and
relationship ruled by Moon who is in the 2nd house of family life, we see
confirmation for Lucy being his family. Note Rahu is karaka for cheating and
scandals and it has given the result by splitting up the marriage and family life
of the President.

Chart 10: Writer & Volunteer of Saptarishis Astrology

The chart belongs to one of Saptarishis Astrologys team members. Her 37th
year would be from 13th March 1998 to 13th March 1999. An event happened in
her life on 9th March 1999 5 a.m which would be her 37th year of her life. Now
notice that Rahu sits in the 8H of death in the sign of Cancer which is the
Natural sign of Mother in the zodiac, get the hint. The 9th aspect of Rahu as
per this BSP rule will be on the 4th house of Mother, 4L Jupiter goes in the 12th
from it & in 4H sits Venus the 8th lord of death (from the 4H of mother). On
9th March 1999 her mother died in her 37th year thus showing the applicability of
the BSP Rahus 9th aspect rule.

The event happened to her parents so lets check D-12 the chart for parents and
lineage.

Rahu sits in the 3H of exit of mother, being 12th from it and implements itself
in the 37th year thus giving heavenly passage to her mother in the 37th year.
For those who would want her Rahu to be in the 4th house of mother and go
about rectifying it, one can note that as per Shambu Hora Prakashika, mother is
attributed to 3rd house. Rahus 9th aspect would be on the 11th house which is the
8th from 4th house of
mother; this is 8th of death of mother which is what happened.
