| Budha's
"Teenage" Mentality |
The mentality of bhava-3 has Mithuna
qualities of constant conversation within a small and tight-knit group,
interactive and relational thought, extraordinary speed of
repetitive
looping thought, and facility with local, immediate, short-term
events.
-
Matters of bhava-3 are rarely
harmful. Yet bhava-3 is considered a semi- dushthamsha. bhava-3's
less than ideal reputation arises from Budha's youthful focus on speed
and intensive small-group validation. Graha residing in bhava-3 may
become trapped in a cycle of repetitive, superficial communications
with highly temporary content.
-
The mentality of bhava-6 has
Kanya
qualities, which also express adolescent characteristics of Lord
Kumara. Ari bhava exemplifies the more difficult teenage behaviors of
vehement
argumentation, along with
their typical state of hormonal and mental imbalance. -
bhava-6 satkona = maha-dushtamsha.
Ripu bhava features a constant state of disagreement and discomfort, originating in Budha's relentless
inner
mental
problematizing.
Budha's influence in bhava-6 is also repetitive and fast, but
communication here lacks the relational focus of Mithuna.
-
bhava-6, as the natural uchcha
house of Budha, represents mentalization taken to its farthest
extreme: words for the sake of words, argument for the sake of
argument. Naturally, events in this bhava, and the fortunes of the
domain lord, are generally sick and unhappy.
-
Bhratru Bhava and Ripu Bhava =
upachaya bhava. Tenants and Lords of domains 3 and 6 begin the
incarnation in a state of impatient, superficial, immature
nervousness.
However with Time and the stable
drishti of the larger graha, the adolescent mentality of Budha and His
natural houses will de-accelerate and mature somewhat.
-
the exception to upachaya improvement
occurs when a hyperactive graha such as swakshetra Budha or an energized
Kuja would reside in the teenage houses. -
In that case, the result is a
perpetual adolescent mentalization, repetitive and superficial reasoning
style, and a short-lived, immature personal relationships.
-
However the native typically does quite well in business.

The
World of Your Mind
H.H. Dalai Lama.(2000).
The Dalai Lama's Book of Wisdom |
"Within the body there are billions of different
particles.
Similarly, there are many different thoughts and a variety
of states of mind.
Once you can recognize the value of
good states of mind, you can increase
or foster them."

Transforming
Mind through Repetitive Discriminating Thought
H.H. Dalai Lama. (2002).
The Buddhism of Tibet. Jeffrey Hopkins
(Trans. Ed.). |
"The way of beneficially
Transforming the mind is as follows.
Then we must recognize the good states
of consciousness.
This occurs through the
force of
familiarity And through these good states of consciousness having valid
foundations and beings qualities dependent on the mind [and thus capable of
limitless development].
Thereby, in time,
sure
signs of goodness will appear in the mind."
