Jose Mourinho

Let us look at the chart of Jose Mourinho, the most decorated football manager. Mourinho is a tactician and a manager rather than a coach, he is often criticized for not giving chances to home grown players. He has not spent considerable time at a single club and once a trophy has been achieved he is known to search another challenge yet arguably there are not many who can match what he has accomplished.

Born in Sagittarius ascendant his second house is loaded with grahas. Particularly, moon is combust while sun and Saturn are separated by less than 10 degrees. Second house has ketu in it as well meaning there are three malefics in this house. To top it off Mars from 8th is aspecting the 2nd with its 7th aspect.  All of it points to the fact that this guy has landed himself in hot soup due to his lack of control over his tongue. 

A finer detail is the fact that Mars conjunct rahu and mars is debilitated. This means he is prone to pick up wrong fights whether that be with the Media during his spell at Manchester Utd or whether that be with Eva Carneiro, Chelsea’s physio. Due to his brash remarks in the after match interviews, he has been fined many times.

His rise was gradual but took a catalytic trajectory when he was able to bag the top European Honor, the champions league. This happened during his Jupiter mahadasha. At the onset of Jupiter dasha Jose Mourinho became a youth team coach for Vitória de Setúbal. Jupiter dasha always tends to make the person either become a coach of some sort or acquire knowledge from those that are coaches or mentors. 

Then during Jupiter-Saturn he became the translator for Bobby Robson. Saturn along with Sun signifying an authoritative figure with loads of experiences. Jupiter in the third house of communication and Saturn in the second house of languages worked in this manner. In the natal chart, mercury the natural karaka for communication is posited in the 1st house showing life direction. This phase followed by Jupiter Mercury were the pivotal periods for him laying the foundation for this later success.

Looking at the rashi chart one may not be able to tell a lot but rashi chart encompasses everything there is so for finer analysis divisional charts has to be consulted. 34 points for the 10th house in the SAV is the 1st indication for his exceptional career. 10th lord in lagna shows that the identity is tied to career and being mercury a suitable role is managing. The real strength of his career lies in the 10th house of Navamsa where the great benefic Jupiter is posited with an exalted sun.  

Let us further, look at this mercury, which is also 7th lord of public image and getting directional strength in the first house. The combination of Mercury in the 1st house, 2nd house and 3rd house all of it dealing with languages and communication has granted mourinho with ability to converse fluently in 5 languages. The number is more since mercury is posited in Sagittarius, the sign of expansion. 

During Jupiter dasha he was able to pull off a superb run of games to win the champions league. The run comprised of eliminating Manchester United, Lyon and Deportivo de La Coruña all of them were favorites. Jupiter as ascendant lord acted as a rajyoga planet giving the parakram to take on massive opponents. The win agains Monaco to clinch the Champions league provided the backdrop for his overall success. This came during Jupiter-Rahu when Mourinho was 42 years of age. 42 is the maturity age of Rahu despite some touting 48 as the age of maturity. This is when he said that he was a special one’ Rahu in the 2nd house of leo in navamsa means he can be audacious with his speech.
