Chandra and Budha = the most impressionableof all the Graha.

• Drishti upon Budha - including any planets sharing the rashi with Him - will have a profound influence upon the outcome.

• Budha is merely an articulator;

• Budha does not generate His own content.

• Drishti effects frequently overwhelm rashi influences.

The rashi in which Budha is placed will yield part of the profile of "what one talks about". (However Budha's Domain is equally or more important in determining the spoken, gestured, and written output.)

• 12 Domain Qualities of Budha

• Budha yuti other Graha

• Budha and Business: 12 domains for Commercial Profit

• Budha's Two "Teenage" mentality houses - Sahaja and Ari

Into any rashi and any bhava, Budha will bring His portfolio behaviors:

• talking, gesturing, reporting, writing, painting, tool-using, technology-applying,

• arguing, criticizing, explaining, instructing, training,

• short-term, near-goal travel.

Budha in any condition will use that condition for purposes of

• selling, trading, administration, marketing, advertising,

• holding meetings, going to conferences,

Slogans and jargon

Not unintelligent, but a tolerance for mental complexity is lacking. Splendid placement for the crafting of slogans and punch-line phrasing. Good at writing "hooks" for popular songs and expert in "sports talk" = simple repetitive jargon.

Speaks in a challenging style and with strong effect. However when delicacy of expression or nuanced phrasing is needed, the native may fail.

Outcome of the articulatory functions ruled by Budha depends largely on disposition of Mars in the nativity.

Incoming drishti or association with from enemy Mangala can overstimulate the native 's thinking process resulting in a restless and adversarial, even predatory, communicative style. [Adolph Hitler]

Tends toward fast, aggressive or straightforward speech.. Takes the initiative in verbal interchange. Argumentative and hot-tempered if with Mesha Moon.

• Prefers the vocabulary of conquest, competition, warriorship, and athletic sport.

• Budha in Mesha is particularly well suited to environments where a dominating, confrontational styleis an asset.

• To win praise, win attention, or just to win - that's their communicative goal. If Kuja is troubled, can be selfish or addicted to the limelight.

When Budha-Mesha rules good houses or hosts a good planetary tenant, these natives gravitate toward super-competitive financial, athletic, military, and political and theatrical contests. They articulate in a clear and forceful manner.

Likes to think about competition, hunting, male dominance, athletic achievement, primacy, warfare, sexual conquest, blood sport, heroism, individual uniqueness, self-sufficiency, supremacy, prize-winning, Originality, novelty, the physical body, birth.

• Adolph Hitler = Talks, gestures, and writes about Alliances (7) of competitive dominance (Mesha) leading to War ( Budha + Mangala + Surya + Shukra in Mesha-7).

• USA Pres-35 J F Kennedy = Talks, gestures, and writes about secret information (8) of competitive dominance (Mesha) leading to negotiations re: sexual dalliance and war ( Budha + Mangala in Mesha-8).

• UK-PM Tony Blair Talks, gestures, and writes about private negotiations with simple-minded but adversarial foreign interests ( Budha + Surya in Mesha-12).

"If Mercury is in Aries at the time of one's birth, the native will be fond of battles (be uncompromising), be very learned, wicked, emaciated, interested in music and dance, be untruthful, be attached to sexual pleasures, be a writer, will produce fictitious things, will eat much, will lose hard-earned money, will incur debts and imprisonment frequently and will be sometimes fickle minded and yet sometimes firm in disposition. "

~~ Saravali, Ch 26, 1-2

Das / Behari says,

• "You are a quick thinker and like to speak your mind without delay.

• You love learning but you don't like to tarry on any one subject.

• If something doesn't come quickly to the mind you don't pursue it.

• This may lead to an attachment to entertainment, rather than deep study ."

Budha = L-6+L-9 from Makara

• Good for communications regarding conflict + disagreement including war and divorce (6) philosophy (9) and ceremonial religion (9).

Results depend on the disposition of Shani.Budha is neutral toward Shani, while Shani welcomes Budha as a friend.

When Budha occupies a rashi of Shani, the native may express one's thoughts through a conservative, dogmatic, mentally rigid, or culturally limited perspective.

• Pronounced tendency to speak in platitudes or conventional, protocol-driven responses rather than offer one's own personal viewpoint.

• the native is more concerned to express a socially approved message and less comfortable saying something unique or non-scripted.

May be a genius of reporting conversational speech (see Virginia Woolf , Mrs. Dalloway)

• If Shani Occupies Vrischika, Karkata, or Mesha, the native is constrained socially. One experiences (not always consciously) a background threat of punishment for unapproved lifestyle or inferior status or other conflict between with social conformity standards.

In these placements Shani will also cast drishti upon Budha in Makara, and the native will speak in a constrained, pre-formatted, "nicey-nicey", falsified, or self-shielding way.

• If Shani occupies Makara, the native is very conservative in speech habits, speaking only on 'safe' topics, and typically limited to rehearsal of the protocols and platitudes of one's own culture.

The psychological resistance to new ideas which is implied by Budha in a rashi of Shani and aspected by Shani does not reduce the mechanical teeth-and-tongue speech articulation. Rather, the native tends toward a less creative, more pre-formatted messaging style. The mentality is shaped by received knowledge and fixed explanations.

Likes to think about institutional hierarchiesof governance, social rank, propriety, executive leadership, skeletons, bones, and the Rules of Law.

• Somber and pragmatic messaging style. Focused on structure, prefers to use a politically correct, hierarchical vocabulary.

• Slow, measured or hesitant speech. Good powers of concentration. Favors the writing of government reports, filling out forms, theological and liturgical writing, using the language of social conformity and common morality.

• Excellentfor government school teachers(at the indoctrination level, not the philosophical level); bureaucratic functionaries, workers in large, hierarchical organizations; church-goers; and all the rank-and-file "guardian" class who provide safety, structure, and lawful order to society.

May have a wry, dry sense of humor;much attuned to the material realities of the common man. Cautious and attentive observer of the human character. Makes every word count.

Budha = neutral toward Shani, while Shani welcomes Budha as a friend.

When Budha occupies Kumbha, the native may express one's thoughts through an abstract, rule-driven, conceptual, principled, and emotionless filter.

Budha-Kumbha =

• science writing and scientific media production = Al Gore Jr.

• telepathy, communication via subtle astral electrical network = Edgar Cayce

• telepathic communication with non-human species = Elizabeth Taylor, Rue McClanahan ,

• progressive social change and development of regulated distribution of marketplace opportunities = Elizabeth I , Abraham Lincoln , Franklin Roosevelt, Teddy Kennedy , Gloria Steinem, John D. Rockefeller

• electricity and electrical engineering

• futuristic viewpoint

Strong mentality of community and world-vision focused on increased "connectedness" providing more opportunity for component integration(participation, enfranchisement) in the System

• Gloria Steinem, Aretha Franklin

the native 's worldview is potentially very large (see Edgar Cayce, Al Gore Jr.) but one must strive mentally to assure that each item in the conceptual network is interconnected by principle and rule.

• Tendency toward dogmatism in the quest for unifying principles; if Budha is not well supported in the nativity, may be an exceptionally simplistic thinker who forces many complex phenomena into an insufficiently nuanced interpretive framework (see Dick Cheney, Dan Quayle, Pat Robertson).

Splendid for philosophers and mathematicians, also good for social theorists and physicians of the brain, skin, and nervous system. May have a futuristic or visionary mental inclination, but often lacks emotional sensitivity (and thus a chronic deficit of human compassion) unless Chandra is strong.

Likes to think about large, complex, rule-driven systems. Talks at public gatherings and large-scale marketplace assemblies such as fundraising meetings, summer fayre or mela.

If Budha is well supported in the nativity, may be a genius of navigating large networksincluding the universe, the human skin, the human and cosmic nervous systems, and the human brain.

Conceptually abstract mentality. the native 's conversation may be so abstract that it is difficult to follow.

Can be extremely rigid and dogmatic if rule-enforcing Shani occupies

• Dhanusha (religious conservatism, ritualism) (Pat Robertson, Rupert Murdoch);

• Vrishabha (greedy, wealth-hoarding views) (Jimmy Hoffa);

• Simha (punitive ethical righteousness).

Consistent with Shani's optimal rashi being a hostile environment for the Ethical Sun, Budha in Kumbha is not afraid to lie. Mechanically repeats the political "party line" and other system-wide falsehoods without recourse to individual truth-testing.

If Budha receives drishti of Shani, the speech of Kumbha-Budha may be perceived as hard, work-tough, or mean-spirited. Under-developed sense of humor. Tend to adapt the data to the theory and to presume that the system's rules are or should be shared by all individuals within the system (Shani's conformist drive.)

Does well in shared-interest groups that have a common but tightly defined vision (such as computer specialists, religious fundamentalists or trade unionists).

Even within their own consensual communities, may be ostracized for oppressing individuals with System Rules.

Vocabulary of networks: scientific, electronic, cosmic, and human. "Big Picture" thinkers.

Budha is neutral toward landlord Guru, while Guru treats tenant Budha as an enemy.

Meena, the dreamlike rashi of all-encompassing, all-inclusive Guru, can welcome any graha EXCEPT Budha.

Budha the chatty mentalizer becomes problematic in quiet, reflective Meena.

Budha's narrow-view attention to detail and propensity to make announcements prevents the native 's engagement in quiet, Meena-appropriate broad-view reflection.

• Budha in Meena is like being at a silent retreat where some anxious person just can't stop talking : )

Budha mentalizes the spiritual intuition while Meena's reflective clairsentience dissolves and obscures the logic of Budha's arguments.

In my files: the case of a talented young Budha-Meena-3 designer whose imagination (Meena) overwhelmed his argument (Budha) and damaged his business (3).

After graduating from a prestigious college, he had designed a number of products with household, athletic, and automotive utility. He had credibility due to his education and his family's rank. It seemed like his products were going to be commercially successful, because they seemed to be addressing real market needs at just the right time.

Of course, to progress his ideas from the visionary design stage into the manufacture and sales stage, he needed to acquire funding. In order to convince his investors, he was going to be obliged to explain each step of his process. At this point, the Budha-Meena person became - as they often do - a victim of his own imaginative mind.

The products while well-timed for market needs were all quite mundane in application. Yet the young man connected their earthly simple functions to the great waves of truth in the universe, and he mused profoundly over the broad effects that these items could have in different iterations, and the genius of human creativity filled with the inspiration of divine light.

Delightfully imaginative as these thoughts were, he expressed them in entirely the wrong context - a practical, dollars-and-cents investors meeting -- and furthermore he got so swept up in the experience of connecting human experience to divine inspiration that he became increasing convinced of the immense power embedded in these utility products... so much so that he imagined far-reaching profits and a great fortune for his family lasting into the generations...

The investors meanwhile thought him a little nutty. He would not reveal enough about the workings of his products for them to make a decision; rather, he pontificated about the glory and the power of

• Dualistic, subject-object Budha talks and writes *about* Meena's merging-with-the-divine spiritual experience.

• Yet Budha's dualistic internal narrative is far too busy and mercurial to commit to a stable interpretation of Meena's intuitive flow.

• Thus Budha's explanatory, discursive output, framed in a vocabulary of broad, vague, philosophical concepts, tends to sound pedantic and self-important - even though this is not Budha's intention, because Budha is only a reporter and the Kumara is not an agent of ego.

• Budha-Meena's daily dialog, couched in the language of cosmic breadth, spiritual union and dissolution of the ego into the vastness of all existence, may be frustrating for Budha's listeners, who may expect the Budha-Meena to function as a guide into Other Worlds.

• However, Budha the administrator is very much anchored in the dualistic, materialistic business of This World. Unless rescued by a parivartamsha yoga or other extraordinary planetary circumstance, Budha-Meena does not know the future and cannot lead anywhere.

• Budha the Secretary simply loops through a routine scripted discourse, repeating the basic insights of all wise gurus of all time, collating and reassembling the kernels of ancient instructions for crossing the bridge into Other Worlds (past and future)

"Taking teachings" may become a distracting habit. One talks *about* the spiritual Guru, about the dogma, about the sangha, about the scriptures -- but the wisdom embedded in these assets is missed due to Budha's tendency to objectify experience, in order to describe it.

Restlessness and frustration, criticism of the religious practice of others, and a spiritualization of writing, arguments, text-analysis,

In Meena, the Kumara is especially encouraged to make pronouncements about matters spiritual and religious. Thus one prefers a vocabulary of wisdom-teaching, liberation from the material, psychic sensitivity etc, but the mental experience feeding these apparently wise statements is far too superficial to generate the expected teachings. This person may go through life talking perpetually about faith, spiritual practice, the guru etc but in actual reality the mind is restless and verbally over-expansive and a meditative calm in the mind is rarely achieved.

Budha in Meenatries to describe the mundane and repetitive daily transactions of life in rather overbearingly profound and philosophically important terms.

The result is a ponderous style of speaking and writing which can annoy those looking for a simple and concise report on an event of daily reality.

• Budha = L-4+L-7 from Meena lagna

• Good for schooling; cultural roots (4) and human relationships (7).

Results depend on the disposition of Guru. Overall

Pashupati lord of flocks = a shepherd. If neechcha bhangaconditions are satisfied [Einstein], may give fruits of finding pathways Toward entirely new perspectives from whichproblems can be re-conceptualized.

Budha-Meena may be an excellent problematizerand have a broad perspective, as well as a strong perceptual affinity with children.

Typically, Budha's pragmatic, technical intelligence becomes overextended in Guru's expansive, cosmic sign. the native bounces somewhat unpredictably between declaration of reality and philosophy, fact and theory, law and principle.

One does not lack analytical intelligence but indeed lacks a mental resting place, and often cannot effectively describe one's own thought process. an intuitive messaging style directed by astral-imagerywhich can be hard to interpret in more pragmatic circumstances.

Handicap: overloaded speech

Mode of expression = often mismatched to the predominant social register.

When fast, lightweight, quick conversational idiom (Budha) is socially appropriate (as it is 90% of the time in modern life) the native 's rather ponderously formal speech and writing style may be perceived as too broadly expansive and overloaded with meaning (Guru-ized).

Mentally the native may be unable to quickly adjust to a change in topic. One may struggle to adapt the thought process to the pragmatic matter at hand; instead always applying a philosophical grandiosity to matters commercial and superficial.

Skilled communicators skillfully adjust their prosodic style. Conversations move to high-medium-low speed according to the surface conditions of the communications environment. Ideally, Budha makes quick reports and announcements about the news of the day. Meet and greet is Budha's specialty. Yet the native burdened by a neechchamsha Budha may become a bit of a social albatross due to one's habit of casting every minor gesture into the frame of scholarly discourse.

In logical decisions, esp those quick and on-the-spot, often perceived to make "mountains out of molehills."

Imagery-guided thinking can appear confused, childlike, psychically permeable, other-worldly, and suffering interference from spirits.

the native may try to incorporate far too much information into a single decision, and insist on maintaining the "big picture' even when the 'small picture' is right-sized for the task at hand.

Mentally, the native experiences some mental discomfort, knowing that one's message is not clearly understood. Perceived to betoo sensitiveto suggestion by out-of-body entities, and easy for outsiders to manipulate.

Budha-Meena can become so much overloaded with imagistic spiritual information that the native becomes pragmatically dysfunctional in the more linear, materialistic processes of daily life.

Sales, marketing, advertising, messaging, writing tasks and participating in team meetings may become so cumbersome that the native despite strong intelligence could struggle to keep a job in the modern information economy.

Likes to think about guidance along imaginative pathways to wisdom.

Since Pushan's world of astral travel is ruled by Lord Guru (to whom Budha is an Enemy) the Kumara does Apoor jobin this task.

• Vocabulary of cosmic merging, imaginative experience, ecstatic vision.People like to hear their speeches, which often display a childlike innocence and purity.

In an overall healthy nativity, this Budha is good for poetry, song-writing, inspirational religious talks, communing with nature, trance-channeling, and prayer - as well as every variety of imaginative art.

Neechchamsha Budha in 3 for Maraka lagna:

Neechcha Budha causes misinterpretations and false expectations.

You try to spiritualize (Meena) the world of mundane business (3) and may be too imaginative or too generalized in your thinking to really succeed in the detail-oriented, factual world of daily commerce.

• You have to make a concentrated effort to use transition signals in your speech, to be clear and specific, and resist making ‘jokes'.

Budha periods generally bring a combination of disagreement and sickness (6) mixed with philosophical enlightenment and wisdom (9)
