Jagadish Chandra Bose Horoscope

Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose (November 30, 1858 – November 23, 1937) was an Indian polymath, physicist, biologist, and archaeologist, often hailed as the father of radio science in India.

Born in Mymensingh, Bengal Presidency (now Bangladesh), to a Bengali Kayastha family, he pioneered millimeter-wave research, invented the crescograph for plant physiology, and demonstrated plant responses to stimuli akin to animal nerves. A self-funded innovator who faced racial discrimination, he bridged physics and biology, authoring books like Response in the Living and Non-Living (1902). Knighted in 1917, he ranked seventh in a 2004 BBC poll of the Greatest Bengalis.

Bose attained acknowledged distinction in physics but his sphere of activities extended to the domain of physiology also. He brought to light many of the activities pertaining to plant life.

The Moon is aspected by Saturn as well as Jupiter. He was the victim of prejudice and race discrimination. Saturn's aspect over the Moon must have given him lot of worry but Jupiter's aspect enabled him to cultivate that strength of mind which is so very essential for achieving great objects. He had to encounter a lot of opposition from other scientists who did not relish his intrusion into the domain of physiology. Bose's Paper 'The Electric Response' was under consideration for Publication. But on the ground that Bose refused to change the name of the paper from 'Electric Response' to 'Certain Physical Reactions' the paper was rejected by the Royal Society.

He passed his B.A. in the sub-period of the Moon in Rahu Dasa. 

It was in the year 1896 (Jupiter Dasa Venus Bhukti) that he sent the result of his research to the Royal Society. Mark the dispositions of Jupiter and Venus from Chandra Lagna. In Venus sub-period the University of London conferred on Bose the degree of Doctor of Science. The Sun Bhukti was equally important as it was during the Sun's sub-period that he was first asked to deliver before the Royal Society, the Friday evening discourse. The Sun is lord of the 4th and is in the 7th both from Lagna and the major lord, and in the 3rd from the Moon. His reputation reached its zenith in the course of Mercury Dasa. His death took place in Ketu Dasa.

His discovery proves that there is no sharp dividing line between the nervous life of plants and animals. All the three benefics Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are completely free from malefic association or affliction and they are placed in beneficial signs. These three benefics indicating knowledge, intelligence and wisdom.

Aquarius is in the cusp of the 10th house, and Rahu's presence there made him highly philosophical. Both Rahu and Aquarius are idealistic and have great affinity for invention, research and invisible things. Hence J. C. Bose astonished the world with the results of his discoveries, first on the property of invisible electric rays, then in revealing the inner and invisible activities of plant-life.
