| Hira Ratan Manek is one rare individual, able to subsist on nothing but sun and water. His chart is almost entirely Earth and Fire with only one planet in water(Pluto) and no known air planets. Earth and Fire in astrology are the two primary or most basic elements which when combined produce the secondary elements of Water and Air. As an Earth-Fire type, Hira represents life at its simplest and rawest state, which is self-existing or self-generating. Hunger is mostly mental(Air) or emotional(Water) and Pluto in Cancer is the sole challenge here in Hira's chart. Sun-Mercury-Neptune, Jupiter, and Uranus form a grand Earth trine giving material completeness or self-sufficiency, and Moon-Mars, Venus, and Saturn form a grand Fire trine giving spiritual or energetic completeness and self-sufficiency. The Sun-Mercury-Neptune conjunction can describe Hira's ability to gaze mystically into the Sun and absorb food(Virgo) therefrom. Jupiter in Capricorn is excellent for fasting or living frugally, and Uranus in Taurus understands the science of matter and how to be detached from it. Moon-Mars in Sagittarius requires immediate spiritual food and gives it to others as well. Venus in Leo gains or subsists from all solar or creative pursuits and Saturn in Aries is able to control or direct the life force and energies. Pluto in Cancer kills or transforms hunger, need, and insecurity. The Rising and Midheaven placements would perhaps shed further light on Hira's unique nature and potential -unfortunately I do not have his time of birth nor his exact geographical co-ordinates. | |
