Steve Jobs: A Real, Blind-Tested Career Peak

The Engine's Independent Answer

"The most significant period for your career and public recognition was likely your Venus Mahadasha, which ran from age 27 to 47 (1982–2002). During this time, Venus, as the lord of your 10th house of career and status, was the primary driver of your professional path."

"This period held strong potential for success, with a mutual aspect between Jupiter and Venus in your Dashamsha (D10) chart, which classically indicates a successful career. However, Venus, while strong in your Navamsha (D9) as vargottama, is debilitated in your D10 chart — the divisional chart specifically for career matters. This suggests that while the potential for high achievement was there, it would have manifested after overcoming initial frustrations or setbacks."

What This Actually Verifies

Checked against the real historical record: both the 1985 ouster and the 1997 return to Apple fall inside this single, independently-identified 20-year Venus Mahadasha. The engine was never told these dates — it named the era, and the era contains both of the real turning points.

One honest caveat: the finer sub-period narrative (which Antardasha "was" the ouster vs. the return) is not equally reliable — our own testing found this level of detail doesn't consistently line up with the historical record across the people we checked. We only publish the level of claim that actually held up: which multi-year era mattered most, not a month-by-month retelling.
