Bhava-1 ruled by Mangala =

• blood, birth, animation, vitality, pursuit, movement

• Prognosis improved if Soma rules 1, 4, 5, 9, 10.

Vitality + familiarity

• a symbolic personality who represents the psycho-emotional (Chandra) cadence (Mangala, movement) of one's own generation

• active physical movement,

• symbolizing a rhythmic, familiar litany of expressive appearances

Strong emotional attachment to

• the physical appearance,

• the paternal grandmother,

• muscular power of movement,

• life force-energy.

Prefers a vigorously active, often highly sexualized lifestyle.

• Needs constant movement, physical vitality and a unique identity.

• When Chandra occupies Bhava-1, 7th-from-Chandra becomes radical Bhava-7. The spouse is diplomatic, equable, and contractual in fulfillment of agreements.

• Generally a balanced emotional arrangement so long as both partners are explicit in expressing their expectations and needs.

Chandra-1 feels a strongly psycho-emotional approach to life; the mate may serve as a corrective balancer who reminds Chandra-1 of diplomatic and social-contractual requirements.

For example, the wife of psychologist Carl Jung required him to remain legally married to her under all circumstances. She tolerated his numerous extramarital lovers, including some living in their house. Jung has not only Guru in 7 (multiple mates) but also L-7 is the tolerant and conversational Shukra-Mithuna yuti Budha.

• The main trouble with Chandra in Tula bhava is that one ABSORBS the human fixation with the body and its appearance into one's deeper self. This can create emotional pressure when it is time to attend to matters of higher identity.

• supersensitive emotional responsiveness to the immediate environment.

• Extremely sensitive to the unmet needs of others.

Whether male or female, Chandra-1 = parent-figure in their organization or society.

• Dictator of Cuba 1961-2011 Fidel Castro

Articulator of the collective unconscious. Feelings run powerfully through the physical body, while the physical body receives constant emotional feedback from others in the environment.

• the native should live near water, ideally the ocean;

• water can absorb some of the excess energy these natives pick up like sponges from everyone around them.

• If Chandra + Shani = repressed by the conventional behaviors of the mother

• Jimmy Carter

Once every 29-31 years, enduring for a period of 2.3 years

Shani transits the 8th bhava counted from Chandra lagna

• Shani enters a bhava-8 of Mangala = enemy of Shani, which forecasts considerable difficulty as anti-movement Shani combats pro-movement Kuja

• Shani ashtamsha occurring in randrasthana can be a struggle for continuation of life, but typically one succeeds in the heroic effort to rejuvenate.

• Intense and often frightening healings may involve surgery, psychiatric intervention, death of spouse, divorce and remarriage, or other modalities of identity recovery that force a deeper understanding of the cycle of death-and-rebirth.

3. any graha yuti Chandra

4. possible intensification when natal Shani in bhava-1

A man generally will have emotionally intense relationships with women. He is socially identified with the concerns of land, home, family and children.

• His mother is the primary adult role model in his life.

• Mother is usually a specific director of his lifestyle.

If the nativity is auspicious overall, he may be surrounded by women who can "off-load" some of the excess emotional energy he acquires as he reflects the unmet needs and desires of the people around him.

If the nativity is not auspicious, a male may be controlled by women or consumed by the unmet emotional needs of others. Prone to inordinate struggle with either guilt or grief, usually guilt.

Can signify a martyr to family needs, or Narcissus consumed with his own image in the pond.

Women are constitutionally better designed to process emotions.

• Similar to the male with this placement of Chandra in the vitalizing radical lagna, the female may be consumed by the unmet emotional needs of others.

A woman is, for better or worse, (depending on Soma's overall condition) deeply identified with her mother.

She may also position herself socially as a "woman's woman" as an advocate for parenting and an emotional resource for women's concerns.

Physical body tends to "retain water" when the body's fluid pumping system is overstressed.

Typically not a swimmer - does not like to be immersed in water but may be deeply soothed by walking along the ocean beaches, estuaries, and continental coastlines.

Huge healer, loves to protect children and animals, but also surprisingly self-concerned with physical appearance.

• This moon does not give confidence, but rather deepens the female native's sense of need to obtain protection for herself.

Must be carefully managed to locate the source of spiritual nurturing within the Self and avoid self-obsession.

the most difficult emotions = 6th-from-1st = Ripu bhava.

• Unless there are strong graha in 6, one may feel emotionally unsuited to the task of engaging in ongoing argument or emotionally conflicted relationships.

• emotionally enslaved to a cycle of creation and dissolution of relationships (12th from 7th)

• If chandra is strong, resilience is granted to deal with long-term, deep-seated conflict

  • Oprah Winfrey = L-6 Mangala in lagna

  Depending on conditions in Bhava-6, affective difficulties due to disagreements with servants and employees, members of the working class and the underclass, police and military officers, physicians and druggists.

giving more than one receives

• The lord of Ripu produces emotional servitude () during its Vimshottari period.

Servants or employees,

• including workers holding lower ranks in one's professional hierarchy = particular agents of that problem of disappointment or exploitative overwork. Barring difficult graha in Bhava-6, the main problems come from unreliable workers, criminals, and police.

Medicine and physicians

• iatrogenic disease

• emotional reaction to medications
