Natal Chart of Sai Baba (Astrobiography)

What are the astrological configurations in Sai Baba´s birth chart that relate to his spiritual leadership and life mission?

Nov 02, 2023 / Julio Boyer / Spanish version

Sai Baba was an Indian spiritual leader and guru, born in Puttaparthi on 23 November 1926, with the Sun in the last degree of Scorpio, forming a stellium with Saturn, Venus and Mercury. The enormous spiritual potential reflected in your chart is striking, given that his Sun and Ascendant are in Scorpio (a sign associated with the occult and esoteric), the Moon is in the eighth house in Cancer, together with Pluto, which emphasises the mystical, and Neptune (the planet associated with miracles and spirituality) is at the highest point of your natal chart, conjunct the Midheaven.

It is said that a few hours after his birth a cobra was found near his cradle, which would have shown his parents that he was Ananta Shesha - the one who lies on the snake Shesha - an avatar of the god Vishnu. If we consider that the snake is an animal analogous to the sign of Scorpio, and that both the Ascendant (beginnings and conditions of birth) and the Sun (purpose of life) are in this sign, we can conclude that at least this story has an astrological or esoteric meaning, even more so if we consider that the ruler of the Ascendant (Pluto) is conjunct the Moon (first life experiences) in Cancer and in the natural house of Scorpio (8). The other important event of his early years occurred on 8 March 1940, at the age of 14, when he began to behave strangely, as if stung by a scorpion (the other animal associated with the sign of Scorpio) and losing control; when he regained consciousness, his parents noticed a marked change in his behaviour, a decrease in his appetite, spending long hours in silence or talking about sacred Hindu scriptures. Soon after, the reincarnation of the Muslim fakir and Hindu saint Sai Baba of Shirdi (c. 1838-1918) was proclaimed and his new name was Sai Baba.

If we consider that the 1st house is the natural house of Aries, whose keyword is "I am" or the principle that we embody, and that the ruler of the 12th house (Venus), associated with past life experiences or previous reincarnations, is exactly in the 1st house, we can conclude from an astrological point of view that there is a karmic legacy that he has incarnated. Venus in conjunction with the Sun tells us about spiritual leadership (Sun) (ruler of the 12th house) and the conjunction of Venus with Mercury makes him a spiritual messenger (Mercury). The other planet of this powerful stellium is Saturn (the sage, the old man or guru).

On one occasion Sai Baba said, "I have come to light the lamp of love in your hearts" and this is a phrase that reflects his planet Neptune in the sign of Leo and conjunction to the Midheaven, considering that this point (MC) It represents our ambitions, goals and social contribution. "I have come to speak to you about this unified faith, about its spiritual principle, about its way of love, about its virtue of love, about its duty of love, about its obligation to love".

On the other hand, it is important to note that Sai Baba has been surrounded by numerous reports of sexual abuse and deception, among other things, which can be explained by the T-square centred on his 1st house stellium and involving both Jupiter in Aquarius and Neptune in Leo. The Scorpio-Leo squares tend to generate envy and betrayal, while the Scorpio-Aquarius squares have excessive idealism which can lead to excessive criticism (Jupiter). Sai Baba once said: "Jesus Christ suffered many hardships and was crucified because of envy. Many of those around him could not tolerate his good deeds and the large number of followers he attracted. One of his disciples, Judas, betrayed him. In the same way, this configuration usually indicates a lack of weight and messianic tendencies.

Of the regencies in his chart, we must highlight his leadership and initiatives on a social level (ruler of the 10th house in the 1st house), the honours and prestige he achieved through his spiritual gifts or talents (ruler of the 5th house in the 10th house), as well as his interest in the mystical, spiritual or esoteric (ruler of the ascendant in the 8th house).

Finally, it is important to highlight the privileged position of the North Node or Dragon´s Head as it is in conjunction with the Moon and Pluto and in the sign of Cancer. The North Node is related to mission or spiritual purpose, and since it is in the 8th house and in conjunction with Pluto, we can say that it came into the world with a transformative mission in the spiritual with a message to liberate material attachments (South Node in Capricorn and in house 2). In addition, the head of the Dragon in the sign of Cancer and in conjunction with the Moon indicates a mission that led him to deepen his origin (Indian), his roots (spiritual) as well as the conformation of the great spiritual family that he has achieved, considering that his worldwide organisation currently has 1200 Sai Baba Centres in 114 countries around the world and millions of devotees practising his teachings.
