Bhava-2 = food, mouth, voice, song, speech, family, treasuries of wealth and knowledge, death

often concerned with Books and Songs as devices for storing recorded lineage history knowledge

• Chandra in Shukra's natural domain

• Lord Shukra who is the natural owner of bhava-2, dislikes His tenant Lord Soma; Shukra sees Chandra as an enemy

• a sensual mouth = Julia Roberts, Elvis Presley

Chandra in dhana bhava, 11th from Soma's natural residence bandhu bhava, is usually advantageous for matters of social networking, gains of income especially in regard to schools, landed properties and vehicles.

The emotional relationship to the family history, one's sense of one's genetic predispositions and precedent in the family line, feels supportive of one's material goals (11).

Emotionally most comfortable in environments:

• historic values of an ethnicity = financial, religious, cultural, artistic, musical Winston Churchill

• historic preservation Brad Pitt

• the family history =

• transmission of tradition

• collections, gathering of assets, storage

• singing, songs, traveling bards who transmit historical knowledge Elvis Presley

• conservation of natural resources

• spokesperson or "mouth" for elemental nature spirits

  • Christian Science Mary Baker Eddy

• wealth, banking, sensual luxury

Wants to be surrounded by collections of natural resources: art, music, plants, trees, natural products such as wine and perfume, food and wood, fine textiles

• immersed in historical lineage

1. In a rashi of Shukra, historical design

2. In a rashi of Shani, historical structures, stones, wood, bones

3. In a rashi of Guru, historical teachings, history of religion

4. In a rashi of Chandra, history of the land and culture, the family, the ocean

5. In a rashi of Surya, history of the father

Strong emotional attachment to the family history, the mother's elder siblings (11th from 4th), and the legacy values of one's people.

Needs connection to the hoards.

Needs historical memory

Needs to serve as a vessel for the expression (mouthpiece) of stored wealth.

Spouse

Chandra in bhava-2=7th-from-Chandra-Bhava-8.

The spouse's thoughts and activities may be hidden, and the spouse's values always a bit of a mystery. The spouse contributes well to the joint assets of marriage (presuming that L-8 is healthy) but much of the spouse's personality remains undisclosed.

The main trouble with Chandra in dhana bhava is that one ABSORBS the human quest for acquisition and storage into oneself.

This can create emotional pressure to retain control, exactly when it is time to liberate, release and let go.

The family = kutumbha, 2 = strongly identified with large material or historical values collections, luxuries (Luxmi-Shukra), business finances, lineage associations such as bloodlines, and stored food, art, knowledge, or money.

• fiction writer Hermann Hesse came from a family of religious missionaries and booksellers who built international libraries of books representing the knowledge-values of their tradition

Needs to see oneself as a bearer of traditional ethnic values esp. of art, song, ancient knowledge, wealth and beauty.

Deep emotional engagement with the history of one's people (conscious or unconscious).

Chandra-2 sees oneself as a historical person, someone with a role to play in the development of a bloodline or values tradition.

Emotional need to store, accumulate, conserve, and perpetuate the lineage values and knowledge of one's people.

Emotionally conservative, stays within the limits set by his upbringing and expectations of his family. Identifies strongly with the family business, or a service lineage descending through the family.

("Family" is not always biological or adoptive. Family can be redefined as "the people who take care of me" in an organization such as a religious fellowship or a political machine.)

Mother= a carrier of traditional values. She is the family historian. Mother = conservative by nature; dedicated to the acquisition of wealth and retention of lineage cultural values.

Since dhana bhava = 6th-from-9th, when Chandra occupies Bhava-2 there is a natural conflict between one's father and one's mother - due mainly to the mother's material acquisitiveness and staunch conservatism. The mother may appear stubborn and backward-looking to the father - esp. if Bhava-9 is energized.

(Naturally the drishti of Shani, Kuja, Rahu-Ketu or a dushthamsha lord upon Soma will alter this favorable prognosis.)

Male Chandra-2 seeks a mate with his mother's conservative, family-based values.

Male Chandra-2 imitates the mother's traditional , materially acquisitive, nature-conservationist emotional orientation.

When Chandra occupies Bhava-2, the most difficult house emotionally becomes 6th-from-2nd = yuvati bhava.

• Depending on conditions in Bhava-7, there will be affective difficulties due to disagreements with the spouse and equal partners in alliances. The lord of Yuvati will produce emotional servitude (giving more than one receives) during its Vimshottari period.

• The husband-wife-partner = a particular agent of that problem of disappointment or exploitative overwork. Regardless of the number of marriages, the spouse and the marriage contract will continue to demand more in service than they reward. The first marriage (Bhava-7) is particularly problematic.

The partnership and agreements house = Bhava-7 = 6th-from-Chandra; naturally marital discomfort can arise.

• Unless there are strong graha in 7, one may feel emotionally unsuited to the task of maintaining a harmonious marriage or other partnership.

• As a result one may feel emotionally enslaved to life's primary alliance or union .

first marriage is emotionally triggered and sustained by deep memories of 7th-from-2nd = bhava-8:

• secrecy; hidden knowledge, confidential or privileged information; taxes and inheritance; emergencies, catastrophic change; tantric transformation; surgery, therapeutic healing, sorcery, magic; conditions (not timing) of death; in-laws, the birth family of the first spouse; physical body internal sexual-reproductive and endocrine system.

• Supplementing the material qualities of 1st-marriage = radix bhava-7,

• natal Moon in bhava-2 gives an emotionally secretive1st-marriage partner.

• [for George H.W. Bush ("Sr."), this is Mrs. Barbara Bush]

second marriage is emotionally triggered and sustained by deep memoriesof 2nd-from-2nd = bhava-3:

• siblings and close cousins; playmates; talking, breath, words; one's own mental health, daily thought process, repeating conversations, the self-narrative; one's own self-made wealth; adult team-mates and work-group members; mother's younger sibling; writing; touch; physical arms, shoulders, hands.

• Supplementing the material qualities of 2nd-marriage = radix bhava-2,

• natal Moon in bhava-2 gives an emotionally communicative2nd-marriage partner.

• [for Brad Pitt , this is his 2nd partner, Angelina Jolie].

third marriage is emotionally triggered and sustained by deep memories of 9th-from-2nd = bhava-10:

• public reputation, dignity, and respect; organizational leadership and social responsibilities; effort, rulership, executive powers; children's health or illness; physical body legs, knees, and calves.

• Supplementing the material qualities of this partner = radix bhava-9,

• natal Moon in bhava-2 gives an emotionally dignified 3rd-marriage partner.
