sudden, forced, transformation of the emotional identity occurs during periods of L-8 from Chandra =

Chandra in Mesha

L-8 = lagnesha Mangala


A natural warrior and athlete must deal with conditions of sudden emerging identity change and impending emotional disaster.

With competitive strength and focus of movement this challenge is relatively easy to meet.

Emotional core geared to action = can withstand significant upheaval during periods of Mangala and actually gain identity strength from meeting this athletic, military, or sexual challenge.

7-year long Vimshottari periods of Mangala = conditions of sudden emotional identity change induced by expectations of winning, competition, sexual pursuit, athletic energy; injury or accident; flesh-wound, surgery , emergency.

  • Details of the circumstances of the catastrophic change are indicated by the rashi and bhava of Mangala.

    E.g., if:

    • Mangala in 1, regulator of conditions of the catastrophic emotional-identity change = fleshly body and appearance Bill Clinton , Virginia Woolf.

    • Mangala in 5, regulator of conditions of the catastrophic emotional-identity change = children, politics, and theatrical performance roles, Charles Windsor.

    • Mangala occupies 11, regulator of conditions of the catastrophic emotional-identity change = sources of income and membership in large social-financial networks Meryl Streep , Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

      • For Jac K Onassis, Mangala L-8 from Chandra = also L-2 radix = second marriage = a component of the emotional relationships that build income-11

    For Mesha and Kanya lagna, Shukra is also L-8 from lagna. Therefore periods of Shukra are doubly catastrophic for Mesha and Kanya radix lagna + Mesha or Kanya Moon.

    • For example Bill Clinton , Mesha Chandra + Kanya lagna, violent change in emotional identity caused by competitive behaviors esp. sexual pursuit.

    To see more periods of catastrophic emotional identity destruction and rebirth, Look also for malefic transits through the badhakha 22nd drekkamsha from Chandra.

    Examples of transformative-trigger transits through 8th-from zones:

    • transit of Mangala L-8 from Chandra across the 22nd drekkamsha from Chandra

    • transit of the Kharesha = lord of 22nd drekkamsha = transiting through radical lagna, through 22nd drekkamsha, across nakshatra of radical chandra, via 8th-from-Chandra, etc.

Chandra in Kanya

Lagnesha Budha feels neutral toward L-8 Mangala, but Mangala wants to attack Budha


Emotional core is oriented to mental skills of argumentation, medicine, and logic. One feels emotionally attacked by significant upheaval of brute-force Mesha Mangala. Luckily it does not last too long!

7-year long Vimshottari periods of Mangala = conditions of sudden emotional identity change induced by expectations of winning, competition, sexual pursuit, athletic energy; injury or accident; flesh-wound, surgery , emergency

  • Details of the circumstances of the catastrophic change are indicated by the rashi and bhava of Mangala

Chandra in Thula

L-8 = lagnesha Shukra


emotional core geared to negotiation of terms and rebalancing therefore this native can withstand significant upheaval during 20-year long periods of Shukra

Shukra = conditions of sudden emotional identity change induced by secret sweets which can include delights of alcohol, intimate relationships, marriage and alliances, contracts and expectations of promise-fulfillment, women, beauty, music, arts and design, seeking harmony,

For Thula and Meena lagna, Shukra = also L-8 from lagna - therefore periods of Shukra are doubly catastrophic for Thula and Meena lagna + Thula Moon or Meena Moon.

  • E.g. Elizabeth Taylor = Thula Chandra in Thula lagna = severe struggle with eight marriages and alcoholism despite her extraordinary talent and beauty.

Chandra in neechchamsha Vrischika

L-8 = Budha = neutral toward lagnesha Mangala however Mangala feels animosity toward verbose, rationalizing Budha


Emotional core of the Vrischika Chandra is geared to invasive action and secretive methods for wresting control . One experiences upheaval of destruction and rebirth of the emotional identity via Budha-style argumentative harassment.

17-year long Vimshottari periods of Budha are particularly difficult for the control-needy Vrischika Chandra.

Budha periods = conditions of sudden emotional identity change induced by arguments, litigation, discussions, broken contracts, frustration, fighting, verbal contest, bickering, quarreling, actions of siblings and team-mates, matters of publication and announcement, writing and media production.

Details of the circumstances of the catastrophic change are indicated by the rashi and bhava of Budha

Budha mahadasha starts at birth for Chandra Jyestha; in teens approx for Chandra-Anuradha, and in mid-life for Chandra-Vishaka.

  • For Chandra-Vrischika in the Vishakanakshatra, the modern upheaval scenario may play out via a contentious splitting of material assets during a protracted divorce settlement, or the drawn-out settling of an inheritance estate.

  • To see more periods of catastrophic emotional identity destruction and rebirth, Look also for malefic transits through the 22nd drekkamsha from Chandra. (For example, transit of Mangala L-8 from Chandra across the 22nd drekkamsha from Chandra, or transit of L-8 from radical lagna via the 22nd drekkamsha from lagna.)

Chandra in Dhanushya

L-8 = Chandra lord of Karkata = neutral toward toward Guru ; while Guru is a friend toward Chandra. This is a fairly easy 1-8 relationship.


A natural global philosopher (Dhanushya) must deal with conditions of parochial, folkways practices and beliefs (Karkata).

Emotional core of Dhanushya Chandra is geared to religious beliefs and teaching-preaching . Although there is some minor identity upset when Chandra's period imposes a parochial viewpoint upon the more global Guru-ruled Moon, it is usually manageable via Chandra's natural compassion.

10-year long Vimshottari periods of Chandra = conditions of sudden emotional identity change induced by localized ethnic customs, women, mothers, parents and parenthood, caretaking and sheltering of the weak (very young and very old). Real estate, owned property, buildings, vehicles including animals used for transport such as horses, elephants and oxen, schooling, folk customs, licensing and examinations, security both emotional and physical, patriotism, national defense.

Details of the circumstances of the catastrophic change are indicated by the rashi and bhava of Chandra

For example,

  • OSHO Rajneesh had the emotional destruction and rebirth period of L-8 Chandra during his age 12-22. Karkata the 8th rashi from Chandra = his sahaja bhava the house of writing, and he was in school during the entire 10 yrs of Chandra mahadasha. He began an intensive study of world philosophies at this young age but it was somewhat in conflict with his naturally parochial schoolteachers. In fact despite obvious intelligence he was suspended from school several times. Further protection is delivered by uchchamsha Guru in Karkata. The emotional upheaval was distinctively noticeable but the native emerged with greater knowledge of both local customary beliefs and international philosophical dogma.

Chandra in Makara

L-8 = Surya lord of Simha is a bitter enemy of lagnesha Shani


emotional core is oriented to regularity and routine. One feels attacked by sudden political changes that are motivated by other's ego.

Details of the circumstances of the catastrophic change are indicated by the rashi and bhava of Surya

Chandra in Kumbha

L-8 = Budha lord of Kanya is a friend of lagnesha Shani

Chandra in Meena

L-8 = Shukra lord of Thula is an enemy of lagnesha Guru


emotional core is oriented to meditation, spiritual guidance, and deep retreat into the inner worlds of imagination and prayer. Shukra's periods tend to generate surprise relationships which cause significant upheaval to the emotional identity.

20-year long Vimshottari periods of Shukra = conditions of sudden emotional identity change induced by secret sweets (including alcohol and intimate relationships) marriage and alliances, contracts and expectations of promise-fulfillment,, women, beauty, music, arts and design, seeking harmony.

A surprise relationship emerges causing destruction and rebirth of the emotional core.

Details of the circumstances of the catastrophic change are indicated by the rashi and bhava of Shukra.

E.g.,/p>

  • if Shukra occupies 9 conditions of catastrophic change will include religious experience and world travel;

  • Shukra in 1 conditions will include the fleshly body constitution and appearance Angelina Jolie;

  • Shukra in 6 conditions will include significant substance abuse (usually alcohol) and broken promise in alliance

For Thula and Meena lagna, Shukra = also L-8 from lagna - therefore periods of Shukra are doubly catastrophic for Thula and Meena lagna + Thula Moon or Meena Moon.


8th-from experience is can be represented by the tantrik hunter who pursues life-sustaining prey in the ever-changing and dangerous forest-jungle. He watches with extreme attention for any sign of animal movement. He watches tracks and scat, patterns of light and shadow; the shifting images of past and future presence. Becoming more of an animal himself, he stops to smell a scent. His skin prickles with psychic awareness of the beast, long before the eyes can see.

  • When the animal movement comes, it is sudden: bursting forth from the forest canopy, leaping forward from its hidden, camouflaged shelter.

  • In that moment of terror, that the hunter is also the hunted. One senses acutely the presence of Death.

Yet, quite normally, the hunter succeeds in killing his dinner, sustaining his own life and the lives of his family and tribe. Each journey into the forest-jungle is a new terror, a new initiation into the secrets of this environment; a new acquisition of skillful knowledge that increase competitive success and personal control..


Experiences produced by graha which hold the 8th-from angle from some lagna (in this case, from Chandra lagna) are shocking and transformative. 8th-from does not give timing of death but rather defines the conditions of death.

The graha which occupies 8th-from-Soma generates deep and perhaps shocking transformation of identity during its Vimshottari periods. The houses owned by the graha which occupies the 8th-from-Chandra will show the main impact.

  • If the graha which is 8th-from-Chandra is also the lord of dhana bhava, the transformative shock may result in increased wealth.

  • If the graha which occupies 8th-from-Chandra is also the lord of bhava-6, there may be injury or accident consequential to the shock; however one may also emerge with sharpened medical skills and proceed to become a great healer.

  • If the graha which is 8th-from-Chandra is also the lord of yuvati bhava, the transformative shock first harms trust in the marriage, but may result in a quest for healing which ultimately deepens the partner's trust in their bond.

  • If more than one graha occupies this position, there may be double or triple the number of emotional "emergency" periods involving "breakthrough" of secret information or hidden forces.


Chandra and Change

Chandra follows a highly predictable, cyclic pattern of rising, setting, and movement from phase to phase. The movements of Chandra are very stable and fully known from the earliest antiquity. Therefore when Chandra's capacity for "change" is considered, it is important to appreciate that for Chandra "change" is never sudden or catastrophic, but always paced and guided by the fixed cycles of nature.

  • The types of change that Chandra provides are inherently *predictable* change, such as natural aging, menstrual and fertility cycles, and the psychological maturation which results from parenting and caring for others.

  • Chandra rules the roots and boundaries of the home culture, which are established in the identity during one's earliest years, mainly via one's relationship with the mother.

From a Jyotisha perspective, Chandra's job is to provide emotional stability and a psychological certainty of connection to nourishment and shelter. Periods of 8th-from-Chandra signify *unpredicted* change which is experienced as frightening invasion, incursion, and upheaval.


Periods of the lord of 8th-from-Soma are often perceived as a Threatto personal, regional, or national security. The threat may be in fact of a socio-cultural, physical, financial nature, but regardless of its realistic content, it is perceived as a direct challenge to the fixed emotional integrity.

Two graha in 8th-from-Chandra = three or four bhavas are activated in the catastrophic transformative process of destruction and rebirth, during periods of L-8 from Chandra. This person experiences dramatic emotional volatility. If the graha involved are auspicious, the volatility generates rebirth and success: If the graha are unfortunate ( Diana Spencer) the native is not able to capitalize on the changes, and instead may self-destruct.

Three graha in 8th-from-Chandra = three to six bhavas are activated in the catastrophic transformative process of destruction and rebirth, during periods of L-8 from Chandra.. This person experiences dramatic emotional volatility. If the graha involved are auspicious, the volatility generates rebirth and success:


Psychic Expectation of Sudden Change

The L-8 from Chandra = an agent of "emotional catastrophe" which permits multiple cycles of interior death and rebirth within the current incarnation. This graha has a psycho-emotionally tantrik or magical orientation. It is aware of the potential for destruction and rebirth, and during periods of the L-8 this cycle is activated. The angle between Chandra and the L-8 from Chandra will reveal the style and success of the native 's skills in handling the sudden emergence of hidden information.

For example,

  • if the L-8 from Chandra occupies a kendra from Chandra, the auspice is good for continuing stability of the social personality. the native will not descend into social or emotional dysfunction, for example a personality disorder, during the stress Vimshottari periods of the L-8-from-Soma.

  • If the L-8 from Chandra is an empowered graha, in kendra from Chandra and uchcha or swakshetra, the native may succeed in transforming each challenge to one's emotional basis into a material or social gain. E,g,, this graha = uchcha Mangala, one "goes to war" in competitive style (and generally wins).

Lord of 8th-from-Chandra = in the radix lagna, one becomes a personality-identified icon of constant transformation. The individual changes at the same pace as his environment changes; but one is able to transform personal shock into iconic body imagery of death and rebirth (e.g., Barack Obama+ L-8-from-Chandra = neechcha bhanga Guru in lagna with swakshetra Shani, very conservative and stabilizing despite being a symbol of profound and irreversible change)

Lord of 8th-from-Chandra is a graha charged with tantrik transformative agenda. If the lord of 8th-from-Chandra is also lord of Randhra bhava (measured from the eastern horizon) expect truly catastrophic physical and emotional upheaval, wave after wave of inexorable change in a pattern of destruction and rebirth, during periods of that magical sorcerer Graha.


Radix lordship of the Graha that is L-8 from Chandra

Effect during the period of the graha which is L-8 from Chandra

If Graha which occupies 8th-from-Chandra is also radix L-1

If Graha which occupies 8th-from-Chandra is also radix L-2


Emotional emergency; catastrophic loss of secure foundations; destruction and rebirth of self-nurturing powers;; in the context of acquisitions of wealth and knowledge; expansion of family power; attention to one's face and convincing speeches.

When this agent = Shani, heavy duty and responsibility involved in management of disruptive change. May be an emergency manager within the family, or one who must deal with constant, "built-in" to the lifestyle, battering of emotional upheaval ( Eleanor Roosevelt) in order to achieve the goals of the incarnation.

Emotional emergency; catastrophic loss of secure foundations; destruction and rebirth of self-nurturing powers;; in the context of success in education, credentialing, diplomas and licenses; Ownership of propertiesand vehicles; deepening of social security and cultural roots.

For Swami Vivekananda swakshetra Mangala-Mesha creates a constant transformative tension, represented by his vigorous physical drive to be an educator (4) on a vast and broadly networked (11) scale in the emotionally exhausting 8th-from-Chandra. Vivekananda also led a lifelong crusade of "initiation" for the masses in an attempt to transform the Aggressive parochialism(L-4 in 4) of traditional India into a universalist (Chandra in 9) understanding of religious truth.

If Graha which occupies 8th-from-Chandra is also radix L-5


Emotional emergency; catastrophic loss of secure foundations; destruction and rebirth of self-nurturing powers;; in the context of children, creativity, careers in entertainment and politics, authorship of literature, success in performing arts, and success in speculation and winnings in games (if the graha is favorable)

Emotional emergency; catastrophic loss of secure foundations; destruction and rebirth of self-nurturing powers;; in the context of chronic and apparently unprovoked animosity and sudden oncoming illness, injury, or accident. There are serious animosities present in seed-form carried over from past life.

The most acute case for catastrophic illness, accidents and injuries = L-8 from Chandra is also the swakshetra lord of 6th-from-Chandra. The extreme medical events are likely not fatal but generally result int transformative healing and rebirth within the current physical form.

If Graha which occupies 8th-from-Chandra is also radix L-7


Emotional emergency; catastrophic loss of secure foundations; destruction and rebirth of self-nurturing powers;; in the context of negotiation of contractual partnership, crafting of agreements, and stabilizing of mutual-interest or mutual-pleasure alliances especially marriage

  • destruction and rebirth of self-nurturing powers;

  • in the context of public leadership, prestige and social dignity, responsibility to direct hierarchical organizations,

  • upheaval and forced changewhile performing iconic public roles(e.g., iconic figures Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II; Charles exposed for deviant extramarital affair and his mother exposed for essentially forcing the marriage, upon the worldwide media viewing screen.)

  • exposure of taboo conduct(usually sexual) to the public (.e.g.Baba Ram Dass revelation of hundreds of homosexual encounters while conducting spiritual retreats and lectures.)

If Graha which occupies 8th-from-Chandra is also radix L-11


Emotional emergency; catastrophic loss of secure foundations; destruction and rebirth of self-nurturing powers;

in the context of financial gainfulness , achievement of social and personal goals, and increase of strength and extent of networks (political, conceptual esp ideological and scientific; and electronic)

the native becomes an agent of social change through networked community action.

The basis of the change and its forecast for success will be founded in the native 's personal emotional character; often, this one is a charismatic leader who is involved in much interpersonal transformation.

The social movement has a deeply personal quality.

If Graha which occupies 8th-from-Chandra is also radix L-12


Emotional emergency;

catastrophic loss of secure foundations; destruction and rebirth of self-nurturing powers;

in the context of deepening reflective or prayerful meditation,

prophetic dreams and intuitions; fantasies and imaginings,

(May be hospitalization or meditation ashram or residence in foreign land)

RAHU -

Rahu in 8th-from-Chandra gives catastrophic and often devastating emotional attacks, a feeling of inner terror and tremendous fear of sudden unknown and unpredicted change.

On the fun side, the passions are very strong, with a tendency to enjoy taboo love relationships, and a willingness to lose everything in the transformative but compulsive passions.

Generally an unfavorable indicator for long-term emotional stability and relationship health. Destructive patterns of self-nurturing, often followed by a deep healing rebirth.

KETU -

Hidden threats and sudden-change agents are present, but one is barely conscious of them, tends to ignore threatening signals of imminent destruction.

Invisibility of destructive elements is corrected if Ketu is yuti another graha. Good for mental composure. Could be victim of a surprise attack if Ketu's lord is powerful.

H.H. Dalai Lama, The Dalai Lama's Book of Wisdom "We often speak of the external enemy.For example, in my own case, our Chinese brothers and sisters are destroying Tibetan rights and, in that way, more suffering and anxiety develops.
  • But no matter how forceful this is, it cannot destroy the supreme source of my happiness, which is my calmness of mind.
  • This is something an external enemy cannot destroy.
  • Our country can be invaded, our possessions can be destroyed, our friends can be killed, but these are secondary for our mental happiness.
The ultimate source of my mental happiness is my peace of mind. Nothing can destroy this except my own anger."
