For some time I've wanted to do Krishnamurti's chart, but felt I didn't have accurate natal
information.  I found my current information on the Zodiacal Zephyr Web Page
(http://metro.turnpike.net/S/SRozhon/index.html), which has a database with the birth data of
2,000 celebrities.

Krishnamurti was born an Aquarian rising, one who is progressive and humanitarian.  Moon in
Sagittarius, in the 11th house, he would enjoy change, travel and explore philosophy.  He was
benevolent and a natural-born teacher.  He had a love of independence and many acquaintances,
but few reliable friends.  He had a scientific attitude that probably inclined him to abhor
rituals, ceremonies and the devotional.

Uranus in Scorpio, in the ninth house, foresaw intense struggles against traditional ways,
especially in religious and philosophical institutions.  This is another indicator of travel
in his life.  Saturn in Scorpio is also in this house, suggesting a tendency towards
asceticism, separation from one's country and restrictions or confinement for him in a foreign
land.  This also indicates possible loss through litigation.

Probably the most important aspect in his chart is Pluto conjunct Neptune in the fourth house.
 The presence of Neptune in the fourth house would suggest many changes in residences.  It
also suggests a strange family or domestic situation.  On a deeper level, it can mean
spiritual perception.  Pluto placed here can mean that his past-life qualities molded his
destiny.  He would willing to accept unusual or difficult tasks.  The conjunction itself
indicates a spiritual mission to bring new and higher levels of consciousness to humanity.
But one would have to forget oneself and dedicates one's will to the service of humanity to
accomplish it.

Mercury in Taurus in the fourth house also indicates travel.  Essentially, K's home was on the
road.  Mercury also suggests he would be deeply involved in his goals and ideas.

His North Node resides in the first house, a placement that brings honor and wealth in
educational and religious endeavors.  Uranus trines this node, giving one tendencies toward
leadership in reform.  Neptune squares his North Node, saying that he was a mystical dreamer.

His Part of Fortune rested in the seventh house, where Uranus sextiled and Neptune squared it.
 The sextile brought sudden good fortune through his business and personal associations, while
the Neptune square brought deception and loss through partnerships.

I wanted to see what kinds of transits were present when he made his famous "pathless land"
speech.  On August 3, 1929, Jupiter conjunct his natal Pluto.  This was a time when he would
have had greater reliance on his own internal, spiritual guidance and would have wanted to put
his ideals into action by regenerating the forms of existing institutions.  This transit also
indicates personal leadership.

That transit was preceded by Pluto trining his natal Uranus on July 5, 1929, when he would
have achieved a higher level of awareness.

In terms of Rays in his chart, the 4th (Harmony through Conflict) and 2nd ( Love/Wisdom) are
in the majority.  There is only one 6th Ray body and that is the North Node, which is not a
major planet.  The 6th Ray, being the ray of the Piscean Age, with its devotional, dualistic
and sacrificial nature, would have not been in his consciousness.  It is no wonder he did not
favor rituals, ceremonies, prayers or wish to be the object of devotion.  While it is clear
from his chart that he was slated for a mission, it was obviously not one that would have fit
the Piscean mode that some had hoped for.  It seems to me that he was ahead of his time and
would have been much more comfortable in the Aquarian Age, with its emphasis on independence,
cool detachment, scientific study, humanitarianism, group work and the personal search for
enlightenment.  Perhaps he was its precursor.

One cannot help but wonder why he was picked by those at TS, since he did not seem to fit the
profile they were expecting.  Could it be that the sensational story that was told by the
gods, at that time in TS's history, was exactly the way it should have been written?

To throw in another source, the Bailey material says that Christ may return, not necessarily
as a person, but in the hearts of people.  If that is so, then K's philosophy of pursuing
one's own spirituality by looking within, rather than relying on some outside source, would
perfectly fit.  If each individual (or a large group) would discover the Christ within, then
start to manifest it in their lives, the World Teacher would walk the earth in their persons.

Thanks to Doss and JHE for providing me the pieces to this puzzle.  As far as my mileage
varying, I've probably driven too far all ready.  I leave the rest to the list.
