Case Study: 7th Lord in the 11th House

[Former empress of Japan] Empress Michiko's 7H lord mars in 11H in the sign of magha is superrrr interesting considering she met her husband (7H) Akihito who was the crown prince at the time (magha) at a tennis court (mars); a place Akihito would frequent to socialize and meet many people (11H). She even won in a match against him.

7H indicates close relationships, partnerships, marriage.

11H indicates social circles and connections, friend groups, or even a mass of people.

Mars can indicate sports, physicality, strength, blood, dominating energy, etc.

Magha can be symbolized by a throne which indicates royalty, authority, and kingship. It also is the sign responsible for ancestors and continuing on the traditions/rituals of your ancestors (royal families are definitely adamant about continuing their traditions).

“It's quite sad that Empress Michiko's 60s style isn't as lauded and celebrated as people like Jacqueline Kennedy or Grace Kelly during the same period. Her style was (and still is) truly iconic.” - Submitted by Anonymous

“It's a shame that Empress Michiko Shoda's fashion isn't as celebrated. She really had great style especially in the 60s. Even though Jackie K's style was gorgeous, I do think it a tad bit overrated especially since it was mostly Oleg and Lee styling her as opposed to it being her own natural style. I do wish we could bring back that glamour and elegance!” - Submitted by Anonymous

THE CEREMONY

H.I.M. Empress Michiko of Japan, née Shoda

Those that have married in to Royal Families since 1800

Japan

Michiko Shōda

Empress Michiko was the first person of neither royal or aristocratic descent to become a member of the royal family. Although her family was not royal they were rich and well connected. Her father was Asia's richest flour and noodle maker. Two members of her family won the Order of Cultural Merit. Others were prominent scholars and business leaders. Many members of the Empress's family were Catholics.

The Empress was born in Tokyo in October 1934. She studied English at Sacred Heart's University. In her senior she was elected president of the student body and was valedictorian in her class.

In April 1959, Akihito he married Shoda Michiko (now empress Michiko). The two met playing tennis in the resort town of Karizawa. The were on opposing sides in a game of doubles. Michiko's team won the match in straight sets. Because Michiko was the first commoner to enter the Imperial family, the courtship was covered as a fairy tale romance. Akihito proposed a number of times and was rejected before Michiko finally gave in.

On proposing to the Empress, the Emperor told the Yomiuri Shimbun, “We spoke over the telephone many times before the Empress finally accepted. I would not say it was anything as simple as a one-line proposal. During our many telephone conversations, I told her in order for me to carry out my duties as crown price, I really needed someone who could understand the meaning and significance of those duties and would support me. I was truly happy when she accepted my proposal.

Empress Michiko gave birth to Prince Naruhito within a year after getting married, She broke tradition by raising her children herself rather than entrusted them to nannies and wet nurses.

Empress Michiko made up her own rules for childbearing that are now known as the Naru-chan constitution, named after Prince Naruhito. It stipulated, "Please hug him tightly at least once a day to love him. Make him pick up whatever he throws down...Let him play with one thing as much as possible. In other words, when he is absorbed in one thing, do not distract him by giving or showing him a different thing."

Attempts by the Emperor and Empress to present themselves as ordinary people, dancing together and raising their children by themselves, enraged right wingers who believed the Emperor should remote and unapproachable.

Emperor Hirohito approved of the marriage but his wife Empress Nagako did not. As a commoner, Michiko helped make the royal family more like any other Japanese family and boosted the royal family's popularity. Her relationship with her mother-in-law - a formidable figure from the old aristocracy who looked own on the commoner princess - was notoriously unpleasant and stressful for her.

Empress Michiko was scorned by her mother-in-law and the Imperial Household Agency. She was reportedly so maltreated by her mother-in-law, Empress Nagako, she had a nervous breakdown in 1963 and experienced a miscarriage resulting from stress. Because she was a commoner, Michiko was considered fair game for media attacks. She was targeted in particular by right wing loyalists of Hirohito who objected to her entering the royal family.

This was followed a series of critical "Michiko-bashing" articles in Japanese versions of British tabloids in which the Empress was accused of being "domineering, extravagant and thoughtless" and "self-indulgent" and "hysterical." There were also reports that she spoke back to her husband, asked the kitchen staff to bring her instant noodles in the middle of the night, and demanded the chopping down of some of the emperor's favorite trees in the garden.

Empress Michiko has spoken of the “sorrow and anxiety” she felt as the first commoner to marry into Japanese royalty, and said she has fantasized about having a coat of invisibility that would allow her to escape from the confines of the Imperial Palace and go to an area Tokyo famous for its bookstores and enjoy herself then as she did before her marriage. In recent years she has suffered from shingles and intestinal blockage, which members of the court have said have been caused by stress.

In a press conference before an official trip to Britain in May 2007, Michiko sat next her husband and said, “After I married I experienced difficulties in my new life every day amid many demands and expectations. I never expressed it in terms of the word “pressure." I just felt sad and sorry for not living up to people's expectations and demands...I feel the same way even now. Much of the time I find it difficult to be confident in my decisions. It has been a great challenge to get through every day with my sorrow and anxiety. When I am sad and concerned about things I don't know how to cope. So sometimes I pray o whisper a childish magical charm and feel an affinity with many other people who live wordlessly under sadness and anxiety."

Empress Michiko has been described as "a gracious woman with a direct gaze, a kindly manner and a refined style." She is also very down to earth.

She likes to play piano and wrote the story for the picture book Hajimete no Yamanobori (My First Mountain). Among her hobbies she lists the tea ceremony, poetry, playing music with members of her family, embroidery and flower arranging. She also is interested in children's liberation and supports court traditions such as silkworm cultivation and gagaku music.

Empress Michiko is regarded as gifted poet who is known for expressing simple emotions in her work. Describing her experience as a new mother she wrote: "Milk white spills from his mouth/ Clasped around my breast/ From his busy crimson lips." She also wrote: "Although he is my own," I hold my child anxiously in my arms," Like a treasure I have been given."

Such a tender moment between a mother and child.

ROyal Wedding, 1959. In the late 1950s, royal wedding fever swept Japan. Then-Crown Prince Akihito had fallen for literature graduate Michiko Shoda, whom he met on a tennis court in 1957 in a fateful encounter that came to be known as the "love match."National fascination with the prince's wedding was due, in part, to Michiko's status as a commoner -- a move that broke with over 2,000 years of tradition. But the growth of mass media and the emergence of live television also helped to cement the pair's enormous popularity, forever changing the way that the royal family shaped its public image.The nation was enthralled by the future princess, and photos of her appeared everywhere. Media outlets, like the women's weekly magazine Josei Jishin, pored over Michiko in glossy, picture-led features that dissected her style choices, among much else.

On April 10, 1959, more than half a million people lined the parade route, while an estimated 15 million tuned in to watch the wedding live. After the ceremony, Akihito and Michiko continued to embrace their public roles, using the media to help shape a new, modern image for the imperial family -- both before and after they were named emperor and empress in 1989.

Năm 1991, trong chuyến thăm nước ngoài đầu tiên kể từ khi lên ngôi, Nhật hoàng Akihito đã tới thăm Thái Lan, Malaysia và Indonesia. Sau đó, ông đã tới thăm nhiều nước ở châu Á, Nam Mỹ và Bắc Mỹ.
