Who Was Albert Einstein? A Vedic Astrologer"s Perspective

ALBERT EINSTEIN

"It is insanity to do the same thing, the same way, over and over again and expect a different result". AE

EXALTED VENUS IN PISCES
We see four planets in Pisces; Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn. Venus is exalted or very strong in Pisces, and placed at top of the chart creates a Malavaya Yoga; the mark of an artist. This leads me to believe that his greatness was motivated by his need to find a spiritual connection between pure science and the mystical.

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious side of life". AE

Venus in Pisces will create an overall motivation force of love. The emotional nature is finely tuned sensitive to the unseen forces of nature. This amount of Pisces gave rise to a deep interest in spirituality.

With his friend and colleague Sri Rabindranath Tagore, a Hindu Brahmen known as the Guru of Love, and devoted friend of Gandhi. He received the Nobel Peace prize for literature in 1913.

EINSTEIN AND GOD
There have been many famous people with dyslexia. Einstein was dyslexic. Mercury is debilitated and weak in Pisces which can cause problems with communication. He only began to speak at the age of three and had issues with speech all through school. Saturn placed with this mix gives him a general distaste for speaking out loud. "I want to know God's thoughts. All the rest are details".

The combination of Saturn and mercury gives him bad style! He was known for showing up with unkempt clothes and hair.

MOON IN SCORPIO
Here we have another debilitated planet. The Moon is a very important planet reflecting manas or perception. It also speaks to his relationship with women and family and general overall well being. With this placement he would not have been that comfortable emotionally. This quote speaks volumes: "Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods." AE

Parenting came with some emotional pain. His eldest son was a diagnosed schizophrenic and institutionalized.

This moon placement also gives him conflict with diet.

EINSTEIN ON VEGETARIANISM
He eventually come to a deep reflection on the practise of killing animals for food and turned to vegetarianism.

"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of the life on earth as much as the evolution of the vegetarian diet". AE

JUPITER IN AQUARIUS IN THE 9TH
This aspect makes him a teacher of new ideas. He would not feel that he needed to stick to traditional ways of thinking, learning or teaching.

GEMINI LAGNA
After all the internal struggle to communicate effectively, and deal with deep emotional realizations, he incarnated with a strong need to be a communicator. This would have been his general dichotomy. His love of communication on a very deep level, and his inability to find those who could understand him.

"Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds". AE

EINSTEIN AND RELIGION
"Science without religion is lame, religion, without science is blind". AE

EINSTEIN AND ASTROLOGY
Here we find an interesting development in his chart. Mars is exalted in Capricorn, and placed with Rahu creates an intense drive to succeed. This gives him a love of being alone to do his research and a love of the mystical side of life. We know that he was aware of astrology and it is said that he very much supported it.

"The harmony of natural law…reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection". AE

This aspect would have driven him deep into reflection. Astrology also rules the 8th house of quantum physics and metaphysics.

"Astrology is a science in itself and contains an illuminating body of knowledge. It taught me many things, and I am greatly indebted to it. Geophysical evidence reveals the power of the stars and the planets in relation to the terrestrial. In turn, astrology reinforces the power to some extent. This is why astrology is a life-giving elixir to mankind". AE

NOBLE DEATH AND SPIRITUAL LEGACY
TAGORE EINSTEIN FOUNDATION
Albert and Tagore established the VisvaBharati Foundation in 1921, to give the world of knowledge a universal home for overcoming the narrow confines of ethnic prejudices, racial and religious prejudices. This foundation approaches learning and knowledge by discovering new fundamental dimensions to world humanity studies. The combination of so much water, and powerful 8th house gave him the ability to face his death in the most noble way. He refused surgery in the end.

" I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I've done my part. Its time to go. I'll do it in style". AE
