Scorpio being a secret sign and in this particular case being occupied by Rahu a reptile planet, the native possesses an insatiable thirst for finding out the secret nature of things. Mars, the planet of engineering, and Saturn, the planet of labour, aspecting Lagna, should suggest the groove in which Ford's aptitude was directed in the early days of his life and how those instincts were responsible for making him a great engineer and industrialist. Again, the fact of Scorpio rising with the influences of Rahu, Mars and Saturn converging on it suggests that Ford's imagination was fertile and his nature, very resourceful. The same combination coupled with the fact that the Moon is in Capricorn made his manners somewhat brusque but outspoken and fearless.
Ford says in his autobiography that he left school at the age of 17 and became an apprentice. his happened in Rahu Dasa. Rahu is placed in the house of Mars, a planet indicating fire, chemicals and factories. His marriage took place in the Moon's sub-period in Rahu Dasa when Jupiter was transiting Scorpio.
He completed his first motor car in 1892 as soon as Jupiter Dasa began. This was the starting point for his future prosperity. Jupiter has a unique position forming a powerful Dhana Yoga besides being the Atmakaraka. The year from 1902, which embraces the Moon Bhukti, was one of investigation because Ford worked on the development of a four-cylinder motor. It was at the fag end of Mars Bhukti that Ford Motor Company was founded and to this achievement.
Saturn's period is indicative of steady increase in business. Mercury Dasa is again very significant because it was during Venus sub-period that Ford started to build enormous works at Dagenham.
Henry Ford as every one knows was a great industrialist, engineer and manufacturer of automobiles besides being one of the richest, if not the richest man in the world.
The 9th the house of fortune and Mercury is the planet of trade and business. The presence of the Sun (lord of the 10th) and Mercury in the 9th gives furtune through trade and Government favour; Mars lord of Lagna in the 10th suggests factories, burning gases, engineering, steel, iron and laboratories. While Saturn in the 11th is significant because he shows gain through mines, iron, labour, and so on, Jupiter, lord of wealth, in the 11th in this particular circumstance, suggests the afflux of wealth. The motor car is a luxury for the ordinary man. It is a vahana and Venus is the vahanakaraka. Consistent with this, Venus being placed in the 11th with Jupiter Dhanakaraka advanced the fortune of the native through the manufacture and sale of automobiles.
