The Sun and Mercury of Pulitzer award winning Ellen Goodman

This is the horoscope of  Ellen Goodman, the versatile Pulitzer prize winning American Journalist and Syndicated Coloumnist. I have some interesting references to make from two Astrology classics ,what they say about the placement of planets in her chart. She has her lagna lord Mercury debilitated in her 10th house of profession along with the third lord Sun. Mercury is in the constellation of Uttarabhadrapada and Sun is in the constellation of Revati. 

Surprisingly both placements indicate her profession to be writing and becoming an author.
Saravali says about the native becoming a Professional author if Mercury is in Uttarabhadrapada and Jyotish Makarand says the native will be an author if Sun is in Revati. 

Saravali, more explicitly says the native will write on Political issues,geography and governance. Ellen Goodman has spent most of her life chronicling social change and its impact on American Life. She has been a recipient of the prestigious Pulitzer awards and the Hubert H.Humphrey Civil Rights award . 

She received the award in the Dasa-antardasa of Jupiter-Rahu in April, 1980. Jupiter is the 10th lord of Career and position placed in the friendly 11th house of success and recognition.The antardasa was of a beneficial Rahu placed in the sign of Mercury, the natural karaka for writing and aspecting the 10th house.

Surprisingly, at the time of receiving the Pulitzer award in April,1980, the planets Jupiter and Saturn were transiting the third house from her Janma lagna.Both Jupiter and Saturn at this time were transiting over the Hora lagna,Sree lagna and the Ghati lagna. All the three were associated with the third house in her natal chart which is an another indicator of her being a versatile author.
