Nero was born as Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, the son of Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus and Agrippina, who was the great-granddaughter of the emperor Augustus. He was educated in the classical tradition by the philosopher Seneca and studied Greek, philosophy and rhetoric.
He is infamously known as the Emperor who "fiddled while Rome burned". He was rumored to have had captured Christians dipped in oil and set on fire in his garden at night as a source of light.
The Lagna is Dhanus or Sagittarius and the lord Jupiter is in the 12th (practically at the end of the 11th Bhava) while Lagna is occupied by the Sun lord of the 9th and Mercury lord of the 7th and 10th and aspected powerfully by Saturn lord of the 2nd and 3rd. The ascendant, therefore, while quite strong, has a predominance of malefic influences over it rendering the native wily, unscrupulous and headstrong.
The Moon's presnce in Karakamsa made him a musician. Venus in the 2nd in Rasi and getting Neechabhanga in the 10th in Navamsa—besides being Atmakaraka, endowed Nero with a phenomenal artistic temperament and a love for music. He was no mean singer, he was famed throughout Italy and Greece for the possession of a superb voice.
Nero killed his mother Agrippina, of course at the instance of his mistress, in Jupiter's Bhukti in the Moon's Dasa. Jupiter is in Scorpio an insect sign, owning the 8th from Matrukaraka and being placed in the 4th from the Moon. The burning of Rome took place in Venus' Bhukti in Moon's Dasa—both the sub and Major lords being aspected powerfully by Mars—the planet of incendiarism.
Finally the revolt of the people and his death took place in Saturn's sub-period in Mars' Dasa. Saturn owns the 2nd and 3rd from Lagna and the 7th from Chandra Lagna, while Mars rules the 5th and 12th.
Remarks.—Nero's horoscope is interesting as illustrative of certain fundamentals of astrology. His cruelty, his base sexual life and his imperial office are brought out in his chart.
