Thanks for playing, Bhairitu, really. And thanks for not cheating via Google. Controversial is correct. Shaky marriage is correct. He did hold high official postions. No children is wrong. Monk is so wrong it's silly. Again, thanks for playing. I posted this for fun, just as the person who originally asked the astrologer to do the chart did it for fun. I do find it fascin- ating that people can see in "charts" things they theoretically should not, as did the person who posed the original challenge. I'll give this a little more time before posting the answer. My suspicion is that the heavy believers in Jyotish will not "check in" on this at all, or will cheat by Googling first. Just as they...uh...cheat by pretending that they can see indications of David Carradine's death in his chart, *after* learn- ing that he died, and how. :-)
