Bhava-6 = "disproportion"

Chandra in the swabhava of Budha

Chandra sees Budha as a Friend, but Budha sees Chandra as an Enemy

logic of accusation, victimization and servitude
disagreement, disavowal, divorce, devaluation, and digestive disorders

First and foremost, Chandra-6 =

imbalanced parents
parents are often ill and may be unable to honor their parents contract (predecease is one reason that they cannot parent)
philosopher, mathematician, activist Bertrand Russell lost both of his parents to illness in his early childhood. His material home was protected by a splendid Guru-uchcha-4, but both parents succumbed to disease

Emotionally attached to

medicines, military, mismatched pairs, ministries of service

Mother may be in service via

nurse; physician; farmworker Abraham Lincoln
social worker USA Pres-44, Barack Obama
service to the nation, an institution, or to a government leader Elizabeth II

Mother may have defining medical problems

the mother of "Little Way" Sainte Therese of Lisieux suffered from terminal breast cancer during Therese's upbringing and died when Therese was 12.
the young mother of USA Pres-16 Abraham Lincoln died of "milk fever" when Abe was only 12
Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson has claimed that her mother was mentally ill and abusive; her mother abandoned Sarah, age 13

One with Chandra in the adversarial Satkona has an affection for the downtrodden, the ill, and criminals or those suffering the debilitating effects of broken contracts.

However, Chandra-6 is not oneself a criminal. Nevertheless, Chandra-6 may be falsely accused of crimes.

Argumentative, ministerial, medicinal Protector

The enemies are habitual relations within the family; often the parents are accusers. A scenario can develop (if Chandra's lord is ill disposed) wherein the parents (Chandra) personal behavior is actually illicit and the child with Chandra-6 becomes "scapegoat" for the parents' misdoings.

Purported supporters and nurturers tend to turn against the Chandra-6 native,
core nurturers and shelter-providers become enemies

Emotionally attached to the mother's relatives.

Chandra-6 = typically a problematic attachment due to the characteristically unbalanced, exploitive, disproportionate environment of the satkona.

Emotionally toxic or abusive conditions are typical. The mother is often an 'enabler' personality who whilst a loving mother herself does permit the abuses to flourish on her home-watch.

UK-Duchess Sarah Ferguson claims that her mother who abandoned the family when Sarah was 13 was also physically and verbally abusive to young Sarah

Chandra in Ari bhava-6 = 3rd (mental narrative) fromSoma's natural residence Bandhu bhava (security) = not always an advantageous placement emotionally.

Chandra-6 = a deep service affinity that seeks to protect servants, animals, victims, the impoverished, and the ill,

Chandra-6 childhood conditions are overly complex and one lives in a state of distrust and emotional upset.

Every bhava has its own special intelligence, and Chandra always signals the 'conditions of happiness' as an comfortably rhythmic emotional state.

Bhava-6 offers numerous capabilities which must, for the sake of feeling happy, be put into a ministry of service of the self-distrusting and the imbalanced.

Trines of 6:

1st from bhava-6 = medicine, social work, emotional capability to deal with conditions of animosity and toxicity (physical, mental, social, emotional, spiritual)
5th from bhava-2 = intuitive good luck (5) in collections and accumulations of value (2) ; 6 = artha bhava. The process of gathering wealth may be contentious but with Chandra in 6 wealth is acquired, often via children of second marriage (6 = 5th from 2nd) or mother's relatives (6 = 3rd from 4th)
9th from bhava-10 = the emotional wisdom to access the right assets at the right time (9) in matters of social governance and leadership.

Kendra of 6:

4th from bhava-3 = emotional security and stability (4) may be produced from a foundation of mental inquiry and literacy (3). A too-chatty mind will normally drain resources from the emotional stabilization process (because 3 = natural 12th from 4) . Yet in the case of Chandra-6, both Soma and 10th from Soma occupy natural bhava of rationalizer Budha (6, 3). Rational thought, logical argumentation skills, or some mental-verbal process such as japa yoga must structure (10) Chandra-6 's public identity in order to stabilize (4) the emotional well being. Chandra in the highly logical mahadusthamsha gives emotional capacity to think empathetically about human conflict and error.
7th from bhava-12 = Chandra-6 creates an emotional anchor from which to establish relationships with clairsentient guides. These out-of-body entities (12) may be angels, spirit guides, ancestors, or one's own inner tutor (intuition). Relationships with these shepherds along the path (pushan, 12) may ultimately be stronger emotionally than human-to-human relationships. Unless Shani afflicts Chandra in 6, Chandra-6 finds personal prayer and meditation skills easily.
10th from bhava-9 = also 9th from 10th. Chandra provides the emotional grounding needed to fulfill the destiny of the "servant leader". Chandra-6 's mother (Chandra) is deeply identified with her own social service role, and she models adult leadership skills (10) for the child. Typically she supports the child's ethical (9) professionalization (10) throughout the upbringing, imbuing the child with a sense of their higher destiny via service rather than via power or fame. (Influence of the father = Surya which may later add much more personal ego to the total career.)

Other angles:

2nd from bhava-5 = Chandra-6 may indicate an item in the spiritual script which involves the death of the eldest child from one's first marriage.
3rd from bhava-4 = Chandra-6 = an emotional affinity for commercial transactions and communicative messaging in regard to either vehicles and real estate, or (for Chandra in rashi of Guru) publications (3) about schooling and transmission of root culture
6th from bhava-1 = Chandra-6 = one of two options = serve or suffer. Either Chandra-6 develops compassion for the victim class, including the sick the poor and the exploited; or one suffers some considerable disease which has emotional roots in self-hatred.
8th from bhava-11 = Chandra-6 suggests an ongoing cycle of self-destruction and rebirth in regard to the marketplace income and emotional resources available to invest in reaching material goals. Income fluctuates, as does the emotional engagement with material goals. Strong graha in 11 or an ambitious drishti upon Chandra (from Mangala or from Rahu) can help to energize this otherwise ambivalent attitude toward fixed social-material achievements.
11th from bhava-8 = much achievement is however realized in the realm of the invisible (8). Chandra-6 manifests considerable accomplishment of occult goals, particularly if the nativity also offers a Harsha Yoga or a Sarala Yoga. Chandra-6 knows intuitively that much more is operating subconsciously than consciously, and being relatively free emotionally of excess materialism or positivism, this placement affords a surprisingly clear path toward spiritual realization.

Bhava-6 = 9th (public spiritual guidance) from 10th (lawful governance, profession) + 10th from 9th.

From any rashi lagna, Chandra-6 = a workhorse servant-leader for the public good.

Napoleon Bonaparte, Al Gore

Bhava 6 = 3rd (relatives) from 4th (mother)
If Chandra's lord also occupies 6th-from-Chandra= Betrayal by the mother's relatives.

Both Chandra-6 and one's own parents are emotionally grounded through professionalized (10) service work.

Both of the parents (Chandra) may have health issues.

Both parents will have some tendency to self-medicate; father's inner conflict should be measured by the angle from Chandra to Surya; if this angle is easy, he maybe less upset.

The female native

generally inherits her mother's dilemma. (Chandra in a bhava of argumentative, litigious Budha).

One develops as an adult, a chronic inability to achieve a satisfying balance emotional needs. Fulfillment of service instincts is easier and feels more natural.

The female native often lives a life of unrelenting servitude. However this is not always a bad situation. It is more important, for spiritual purposes, to consciously understand "what doesn't work" (blaming others) than to glide smoothly through an already-easy course of life.

Thus, much wisdom may be gained in this position. The final outcome may be very beneficial spiritually: not only for oneself but also for those countless beneficiaries of one's own professionalized, emotionally engaged, and dedicated service.

The male native

May spend a great portion of his life engaged in emotional conflict with women. Periods of L-6 are particularly acute.

One suffers from a habitually (Chandra) blaming, argumentative "diagnostic" emotional (Soma) narrative (Budha) which quickly (Budha) points out the flaws and failings of others -- especially the contractual partners.

The mother of such a male has herself endured an early childhood life full of conflict, accusations, regret, and often bitter sorrow at the perceived wrongdoing of some parent.

6 = 3rd-from-4th = mother's relatives

The mother's relative's have inordinate influence upon the emotional development, and Chandra-6 is born with an affinity for exploitive, underpaid, overworked ministries of service.

Natural bhava of argumentative, accusatory Budha hosts By far the most difficult position for Chandra.

Unbalanced emotional environment in childhood, characterized by parental (Chandra) disagreement and distrust, disavowal of promises, divorce, debt, self-doubt, devaluation of intuition and emotional instinct, dastardly deeds of the partner (betrayal of trust), not to mention emotional origin of immune-protective and digestive disorders.

The parents (Chandra) are mismatched (6).

The emotionally unbalanced parents (esp mother) are overworked often in exploitive employee or service roles. They acquire conditions of physical toxicity to match their emotional valence of disenfranchised

One feels criticized, absorbs and internalizes conflict and illness, and reflects the external components of toxicity, disagreement, and imbalance in one's environment.

Caretaker (Chandra) of victims: those in poverty, animosity, inequity, debt, or disease.

Dispute (6) with parents (Chandra). Native often leave home (Chandra) early due to dispute.

Parents ill and chronically overworked (6) esp mother

One is often falsely accused of being the cause of conflict.
"Shoot the messenger."
Scapegoat

Chandra-6 reflects disagreement and inequity = brighter or dimmer mirroring according to the fullness of the Moon, and Soma's proximity to Rahu. Chandra + Rahu in 6 becomes notorious.

This native does not create (Surya) "problems" but simply reflects (Chandra) the existing victimization logic present in the environment at birth.

However if Surya also in 6 (black Moon), one may personally help to create some brilliant center-stage conflicts of one's own. If Surya + Chandra + Budha in 6 = a virtual genius of problematicity.)

Deep emotional connection to experience of accusation, poverty, debt, and illness.

Especially close emotional attachment to maternal relatives - although these may be the most vicious accusers.

When Chandra occupies 6, one reflects the existing adversarial conditions in the social and material environment like a bright mirror for all to see. (Brighter or dimmer according to the fullness of the Moon.)

For example, a child with Chandra-6 may "act out" or demonstrate or display the conflict between one's parents (Chandra) and become a scapegoat for the parents unacknowledged fighting. In the unfortunate karma of Chandra-6, such a child may be criticized for "causing trouble".

Period of L-6 = particularly prone to false accusation and blaming by those who wish to deflect attention away from true originators and toward a mirror-image of the problem.

Similarly a novelist, essayist, film-maker, song-writer or other social critic may be fingered as the inciting cause of social conflict; however such a native with Chandra in 6 is merely reflecting he the existing social controversy

Al Gore (environmental problems) filmmaker Michael Moore (social-environmental problems) Albert Einstein (atomic bomb, nuclear power)
excellent placement for attorneys, social critics, social workers, police and military, those who represent, reflect, and rationalize conflicts via medical, legal, and pastoral service
however Chandra-6 may fall prey to "victim mind" early in life due to past-life programming, and mature happiness does depend upon learning to separate the inner conflict narrative

Chandra = in a swabhava of accusative, accounting, rationalizing, tale-telling Budha

Chandra = passive, receptive, absorptive, and reflective. Unlike Chandra's son Budha who represents the human capacity for logical thought and verbal-gestural mentality, Chandra negotiates reality via the human faculty of intuitive feeling.

Chandra is not necessarily irrational or illogical but rather Chandra = meta-logical.

Chandra interprets all reality in a holistic, whole-body way that contains an element of rational response but which is generally reactive, responsive, and presumptive driven more by subconscious expectations and unmet needs and less by rational methods of analysis and inquiry.

Unlike Budha, whose ratiocinations can lead the mind into false conclusions, Chandra's psycho-emotional response to the world is usually accurate -- according to Chandra-6 's subconscious expectations.

However, when overlaid with Budha's narrative mentality, Chandra's absorptive-reflective function in 6 serves to mirror and highlight the painful, accusatory narratives of jealousy, servitude, crime, exploitation, addiction, pollution, inequity, chronic imbalance causes disease, and all varieties of toxicity caused by ignorance of the location of the balance point in relationships.

These miserable narratives are then absorbed, internalized into Chandra-6 's own larger "mind".

The good news is that through a combination of Seva and applied discrimination of a well--placed Budha, Chandra-6 can over time learn to distinguish between the reflected narrative of various dramatic external conflicts versus the natural placid internal peacefulness of the Earth-mother Moon.

Naturally this placement bears great caution in the company one keeps. Being exceptionally vulnerable to intuitive reception of the slightest conflict in one's immediate environment, and being also vulnerable to false accusation and blame due to so perfectly mirroring the conflicts of others, Chandra-6 must exercise discrimination in relationships.

One should seek the company only of purified personalities who have transcended the habit of projecting their conflicts upon others.
Psychic practices designed to reinforce and protect the astral-body aura will be be helpful in defending against unwanted projections
Seva offered to help those suffering illnesses and injustice will be highly educational and ultimately protective: one may observe via service to the less fortunate, the ongoing victimization narrative and endless tales of woe told by those who are ego-identified with marginalization, disempowerment, and despair
Overall however this placement requires constant vigilance as nearly any period of the L-6 or graha associated with L-6 can trigger criticism or accusation of wrongdoing.

Chandra = emotional predisposition toward of disappointment and dissolution of partnership

Feelings are never incorrect; feelings simply respond to the environment.

Yet feelings can be be severely over-determined by subconscious bondage to past life experience.

Chandra in 6, responding to deep, historically rooted expectations of broken promises and disappointments, indicates a perpetual cycle (Chandra) of criticism, emotional pollution from angry or jealous people in the environment, disagreement, and repetition of the victim-narrative.

Emotional reaction to the ever-present-conflict may prevent Chandra-6 from ever feeling happily balanced or accepted by the partner.

Emotionally identified with:

Faustian bargains
excessive costs paid (victimization) or excessive profits taken (illegal trade)
the socially marginalized and disenfranchised classes
injustice
prostitutes and pimps in their various guises
service
exploiter-exploited/span> relationships,
servants and service-class persons,
poverty-usury-loan debt
bankruptcy
illness-toxicity-drugs
medicine
accusation-litigation, argumentation-conflict
crime, jail, criminal law

Emotionally most comfortable in unbalanced, inequitable, conflicted situations including crime, poverty, disease, and environmental pollution.

Usury, treachery, betrayal

Often either a perpetrator or a victim of unfair penalties or usurious loans.

Depending in consciousness level, seeks emotional engagement in either (1) exploiter-exploited victimization (2)performing a ministry of service on behalf of victims.

Emotional condition = "Serve or suffer." A committed service lifestyle will be satisfying; but no other pursuits will provide emotional health.

Lives a somewhat disagreeable life.

The conventional expectation that human emotional satisfaction (7) will obtain in marriage are often disappointed because Chandra occupies 12th-from-7th.
Similarly, one may fail to obtain validation (Shukra) via social approval for physical body, personality attributes, expressions of individualization, and other self-focused activities.

Remedies:

Perpetual interpersonal conflict = not inherent in Soma-6, but due to Chandra's reflective nature it does at first seem so!
Helping the poor, hungry, ignorant, exploited, and other victims of injustice will be enormously medicinal.
Via Seva, one may begin to detect the patterns of classic victim-mind.
With help of Budha's reasoning skills, one may ,having learned to identify the implicit narrative, learn to discriminate (Budha) between the core self (Chandra) vs the external conflict which resides in the outer environment.

In 6, in a rashi of Surya = unfavorable for children. Less lucky in life. Wants to feel admired, center-stage in a high-conflict political or theatrical settings, including medical dramae especially of the heart and spine. Excellent for pediatric physician, esp congenital disease, cardiology and spinal specialties.

In a rashi of Chandra = unfavorable for the parents. Breast illness of mother. Overweight, malfunction of the liquid-balancing systems of the body. Deep emotional imbalance, usually expressed via misguided parenting and caretaking that maintains a dysfunctional family. Life is a soap opera. "Leaky aura" and poor emotional boundaries maintain a lifelong state of exhaustion from chronic illness, debt, and disagreement; but also attracted to and comfortable with codependency and other malfunctions of the protective instinct.

In a rashi of Mangala Albert Einstein, = competitive, adversarial, attached to brothers and cousins. A sexually unbalanced person; needs vigorous movement to release conflict energy. Seeks conditions of exploitation and servitude. Passive-aggressive. May be moody and argumentative, despite outward success. The mother is active in business but rarely is she happy. Drishti of Mangala may bring wealth via exploitive business practice.

In a rashi of Budha = exceptionally argumentative. Must have some enemy, real or imagined, against whom to rail . Attached to younger siblings. Depending on the condition of Budha, this one can talk incessantly about poverty, servitude, inequity and the travails of the world without much lasting improvement. Good placement for single-issue politician, a poverty lawyer or a divorce attorney.

In a rashi of Guru Charles de Gaulle, Al Gore = a priestly teacher albeit an unappreciated one. Emotionally comfortable in hi-conflict situations wherein Chandra-6 may practice a religious tolerance even while animosity and toxic arguments take their toll. Excellent for a guru of the philosophy of war de Gaulle or master teacher-preacher in environments beset by poverty, servitude, epidemic illness, or chronic crime. Good for religious missionaries assigned to difficult stations.

In a rashi of Shukra = uchcha Chandra = Vimala Yoga, considered as a favorable destroyer of disagreements. This lush Moon assuages hurt feelings and soothes hot tempers with the cool, sensual pleasures of body pleasure. Illness from diary products.

In Thula, Chandra-6 is emotionally comfortable in the world of clinical medicine and accusatory litigation, however the diplomatic instincts are strong and often at least a temporary resolution of ancient squabbles can be achieved. Care must be taken to avoid addictive indulgences over-used as a response to conflict.

In a rashi of Shani, Chandra is good for dealing with conflict in government and large social-law systems.

Napoleon Bonaparte

= Makara= Vimala Yoga, considered as a favorable dissolver of disagreements. Generally a good position for a male, somewhat more problematic for a female due to complications of parenting, but overall one does not sustain a conflict for long; it is as if one simply forgets and moves on to greater responsibilities. In Kumbha: lagnesha in 6 is never easy, but the lagnesha is a good planet wherever He goes. When He goes into Ari Bhava, there is a destiny for service in environments of high-intensity networking and systems work, ideally on behalf of those who are social marginalized or otherwise blocked from participative opportunity.

Medicine, Mother's Relatives, Marital Conflict, Inequity and Exploitation, Unfairness, Toxicity Pollution and Ill-feelings

Strong emotional attachment to service, medicines, the underclass, and the mother's relatives (6).

Affinity for medicines And substances with balance-correcting properties, according to the rashi.
Chandra-6 becomes a manager (Budha) and soother of conflicts in marriage and partnership, dishonesty in contracts and promises, inequity in situations where balance and harmony is expected but not obtained.
It is a diplomatic position, but a thankless one.
The beneficiaries of one's nurturing service are the poor and the powerless. Depending on the rashi the nature of the toxicity or exploitation will vary. For example.
Emotionally, Chandra-6 makes many mistakes in life. It is a position of guilt and regret. If conscious, also a position of profound forgiveness.

In rashi of a strong Guru, may become a teacher of medicine. (Any variety of medicine, from bush doctor to homeopathic to allopathic to Ayurvedic and beyond.)

In a rashi of strong Mangala, may become a surgeon.

(A graha is strong for career when it rules the 10th navamsha + either 10th from lagna or 10th from Chandra.)

Mother involved with service to the ill, impoverished, or disadvantaged; or Mother is herself a servant.

Mother = a nurse Richard Nixon, police officer, an agricultural worker, a social worker Ram Dass, Al Gore

Expectation of Toxicity and argumentative conflict in the emotional life.

Mate

When Chandra occupies Bhava-6, 7th-from-Chandra becomes Bhava-12. The spouse is highly imaginative, and may live in a fantasy world or hail from a distant land.

This spouse is a hold-over from a past-life. In the marriage connection, one is attempting to recover the past-life identity - perhaps an ancient language, religion, or culture. In the current life, after the initial reconnection, there may be little material basis for developing the relationship.

Spousal relationship never fully forms, due to the dissolving effect of Vyaya bhava upon karaka agents who inhabit this house. A second marriage is often forecast.

Fortunate for the celibate religious, when the primary union is with the ishta-devata, as in this case Chandra-6 's imagination gains a positive role in developing the relationship.

The main trouble with Chandra in the maha-dusthamsha is that Chandra-6 ABSORBS a wide variety of life's Argumentative conflict into oneself.

In 12th-from-7th, Chandra is particularly vulnerable to absorption of marital conflict expressing the unverbalized negative imagery of the spouse, which can make Chandra-6 exhausted and sick.

Perpetual inner emotional conflict

due to fundamentally adversarial expectations of human relationships and sensitivity to presence of dispute in the environment, which originates in childhood (Chandra). The mother's relatives (6) are promise-breakers, jealous and contentious.

Never a calm person. At war with oneself emotionally, in the great struggle to resolve all conflicts through absorption and nurturing care.

Chandra in Bhava-6 gives strong emotional intuition in the professional fields of medicine, social work, money-lending, conflict-resolution, litigation, police action, and military battles.

Soma in Bhava-6 will make Chandra-6 sick during Chandra's planetary periods, but Soma also can indicate an exceptionally gifted intuitive healer.

There will be Abundant social conflictin this native's life. Yet if Chandra is auspicious one will acquire extraordinary sensitivity to various states of imbalance and learn to avoid most trouble before it starts.

The mother does not provide reliable or consistent nurturing, due . to her own physical or emotional health imbalance. Typically the imbalance originates with the mother's mother, and earlier down the female line.

The mother passes along her unresolved grief to her child (usually unconsciously) in the form of fundamental emotional expectations of abandonment, conflict, and loss of agreement e.g. destruction of partnership and divorce.

4th-from-Chandra represents the mother's mother. If L-9 = a dushthamsha lord or L-9 = a natural malefic or L-9 occupies a dushthamsha, the emotional nurturing lineage has been disturbed at the maternal grandmother's generation. If Bhava-12 is also troubled, consider the embedded, subconscious emotional expectation of conflict and loss of agreement to extent to the mother's mother's mother (!)

Disagreement, disappointment, emotional servitude

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

Depending on conditions in Bhava-11, there may be affective difficulties due to disagreements with the elder brother (if any), one's network of friends in community, or the imbalance arises during the process of earning income.

Generally, Chandra-6 = chronically underpaid due to an inferior position in the marketplace of goods and ideas.

The lord of labha will produce emotional servitude (giving more than one receives) during its Vimshottari period. The elder brother, the community of peers, or the source of income, are a particular agents of that problem of disappointment or exploitative overwork.
The marketplace rulership continues to demand more in service than it rewards.

6th-from-Chandra

The house of gains and earnings = Bhava-11 = 6th-from-Chandra; naturally discomfort in the marketplace of goods and services can arise.
Unless there are strong graha in 11, one may feel emotionally unsuited to carry out the requirements of the earnings marketplace.
As result, one may feel enslaved to the task of earning an income.

Remedies:

Chandra-6 can correct the imbalance in the female line through conscious forgiveness in emotionally peaceful times, and behavioral interventions in emotionally warlike times.

Intensive Seva = selfless service to those less fortunate, targeted toward those suffering from precisely the type of emotional conflict and relationship imbalance that Chandra-6 is experiencing in this life, will yield substantial remediation of the condition.

Moon-6 loss-of-balance indicates an emotional affinity for imbalanced environments, social conflict, and service toward those in trouble.

Chandra + Budha, elaborate arguments and rationalization in the blaming of spouse or partner for one's own inner turmoil. Verbal skills deployed in service of usury, exploitation, or breaking of contracts.
Chandra + Kuja, violent physical expression of the conflict, business instinct to develop exploitive industries such as trading in humans, and involvement with poisons/drugs.
Chandra + +Guru, highly self-indulgent and prone to self-medicate with food and drink; this combined with expansive fellow-feeling for the victim class; a questionable friend but a powerful enemy.
Chandra + +Shani, emotional repression and often an alienated mother. The mother herself is in servitude, ill or victimized. Emotional starvation and excess analysis manifests in health disorders.
Chandra + +Shukra, addiction to sensual attractions. Sweet-natured, but a law-breaker; addicted to sense pleasures, and unfaithful to agreements.
Chandra + Surya= a hard worker in medicine, social work, or public service; socially identified with underclass clients or behaviors. If Surya is dignified, great moral leadership in times of social conflict.

Mother

A man experiences psycho-emotional animosity or exploitation in his childhood relationship to the mother, who is psychologically or physically ill. The child is often in service to the mother, likely caring for her in sickness or managing the mother's duties. The result is the mother-child relationship gets off-balance.

Child feels that mother is either too much or too little: she alternates between smothering and absence. There may be suppressed anger toward the mother, but also a strong bond with the mother's relatives, especially her siblings.

Moon in Bhava-6 suggests that at the level of subconscious memory, the man expects to be victimized by women, and develops many strategies to attract women yet prevent them from getting too close. If with Shukra, may self-medicates with toxins to reduce the emotional pressure.

Anxiety in expectation of loss of balance in relationships (12th from 7th). Tends to absorb the disagreements into ones interior victim narrative.

Parenting (Chandra) issues due to disagreement in the marriage (12th from 7th)

Lineage of criticism (6) in the female family culture (Chandra).

The Chandra-6 woman = similar experience to the Chandra-6 man. Budha L-6 = gender-neutral.

Woman = adversarial relationship with her own mother, who pressed the young girl into caretaking service very early in life. Mother = critical and blaming of the daughter; maternal grandmother probably was critical of one's own mother.

the mother = caretaker of those in conflict: nurse, doctor, druggist, social worker, or police

Health concerns for women occur in the Moon's body areas: breasts, upper arms, lymph and endocrine systems, reproductive system.

water-Weight fluctuations, emotionally caused. Ayurvedic Kapha dosha.

Toxicity issues, emotional and physical, due entirely to suppressed anxiety and the habit of absorbing imbalance in relationships into oneself.

Compulsive regulation of the diet or the complete neglect of attention to food. Digestive sensitivity, allergies, food issues. Strong attachment to the mother's siblings, but not always a happy outcome.

Effects may be partially mitigated if Soma rules an auspicious Sthana.

Chandra-6

Mother's servitude

The mother herself hails from a conflicted (6) early childhood home (Chandra). She adopts a lifestyle of service to others even while she herself is frequently ill due to her unresolved psycho-emotional conflicts.

In pursuit of some She may toil unceasingly for insufficient reward. She endures a chronic state of "work-life" imbalance which may eventually become self-medicated via alcohol, drugs, or other chemically toxic (6) substance in the attempt to re-balance the state of inner accusations and blaming.

The emotional motive behind her servitude is generally self-defensive (Chandra).

She is generally too busy serving others to be able to interact emotionally with her own family.

Self-defensive Motives toward service may be characterized by the rashi of Chandra:

ego-confirming (Chandra in a rashi of Surya)
protective-nurturing (Chandra in a rashi of Chandra)
competitive-innovative (Chandra in a rashi of Mangala) - Albert Einstein
communicative-argumentative (Chandra in a rashi of Budha)
religious-charitable (Chandra in a rashi of Guru) - Al Gore, Pres France 1944-1946; 1959-1969 Gen. Charles de Gaulle [6 = 9th from 10th also 10th from 9th; this placement = the most dharmic and also most professionalized]
luxuriating-negotiating (Chandra in a rashi of Shukra)
material-survivalist (Chandra in a rashi of Shani) - Richard Nixon,

Chandra-6

habitual Illness, injury
rhythms of chronic and acute pain
culture of medication, self-medication

Anxiety disorders, passive-aggression, specific characteristics according to the rashi/drishti, emotional imbalance.

Chandra-6 = emotional disposition to habitual conflict but also much stamina in those environments which are characterized by habitual conflict.
Health struggles for both parents.
The parents may be so much awkward with each other (6, imbalance) or so ill or so much in servitude or addiction that Chandra-6 grows up accustomed to slavery (to a person or to a drug) disagreement, and exploitation or illness.

The life overflows with many and various disagreements.

Yet, Chandra-6 is not overcome by one's enemies, nor by poverty, nor by disease.
Disease may be acute or chronic but there is always a habitual rhythm of life which accommodates the illness, weakness, or disability from injury.
The mother, and also Chandra-6, can remain in service even while enduring some type of profound personal suffering such as a painful chronic ailment.

One may not win, but neither will one lose. Bhava-6 = an upachaya house. This native triumphs with age and tough experience, through developing neutral realism regarding the dark side of human nature, and becoming skillful in methods of self-protection. At the highest skill levels, a compassionate servant of humanity who reaches into the very heart of darkness: the fear of death.

Self-medication to numb interior conflict. If Chandra yuti Shukra = spoiled = self-medication may extend to self-indulgent drug or alcohol addiction.

Reflects the conflicted social management of potions, chemicals, and drugs. Excellent placement for pharmacist, herbalist, physician, and curadero.

Fluctuating digestive conditions and as a result prone to frequent self-medicating change of diet.

Look to L-6 to see whether this attraction makes a gifted medicinalist/clinician, or whether the prognosis is the less favorable, long term drug use pattern.

8th-related "secrecy" trouble from siblings, esp the immediately younger one

3rd-from-Chandra = Siblings = dushthamsha randhra-bhava-8

Relations with the immediate younger sibling may be damaged by secrecy and intrigue, because 3rd-from-Chandra becomes the mysteriously dark and hidden source of sudden, forced changes = randhra bhava.
The parents = troubled by illness and conflict due to Chandra-6
emotional difficulties with siblings esp the immediately younger one (8) and the one three below in rank (12)

If no graha in 8,

the relationship might be sustainable although the affairs of the younger sibling are masked and Chandra-6 may feel (Chandra) that the younger sibling is hiding information from Chandra-6 .

If subha-graha in 8

the relationship can be pleasant even while the affairs of the younger sibling remain largely hidden. For example, the two siblings might live in different countries or be otherwise unaware of each others daily reality, yet the younger sibling remains an agent of ease and comfort who shares inheritance with Chandra-6 .

If papa-graha in 8 (Shani, Rahu-Ketu, Mangala; lords of dushthamsha)

the prediction becomes increasingly negative for support and affinity with that sibling.

Karmic debt and repayment

When Chandra occupies the maha-dushtamsha, considerable karma repayment = on schedule in regard to sheltering and caretaking activities.

Although it is necessary to proceed through a series of parenting, school-teaching, protecting, caring, and property-owning environments in order to burn off the karmic ignorance and transform same into wisdom, it can be hard going in this life-sustaining business of caring for others.

A broken yoke

In matters of 6, particularly when 6 is inhabited by graha, the Chandra-6 native "in servitude" does most of the work in partnerships.

The Other has a karmic script to disregard the value of the contribution of the Chandra-6 partner, and the Chandra-6 partner indeed expects to be emotionally exploited.

The cycle of exploitation in relationships and the social invalidation caused by unappreciated contributions can be interrupted by consciousness; however the Chandra-6 native will not leave the habit (Chandra) of serving others. Rather, servitude (unconscious, victim) matures into service (seva, wisdom).

One-way street

dissolution of appreciation

Energy goes out from the graha in 6. Yet due to the dissipation of trust and breaking of promises which occur in the 12th-from-7th, partner-confirmation and social-approval which would normally be expected as a grateful response to services rendered will rarely flow back in.

Lower expectations = better health

As a general rule, there is a repeating pattern of disappointed expectations (6), broken promises (6), and failed agreements (6) in matters of one's own parents (esp mother), any sort of property ownership whether land, sea, or vehicle; nurturing and nutrient; emotional security and establishment of roots. One's own parenting environment is also affected by the script of exploitation and imbalance caused by needy shelter-seekers, the poor, and the sick.

The key to mental-emotional (Budha-6-Chandra) health = to appreciate that one is highly unlikely to receive much recognition, reward, or repayment for emotional investment in the home or the homeland.

No matter how profoundly patriotic (Chandra) protective (Chandra) or deeply caring for the weak-and-needy one may be, the scheduled beneficiaries of one's parental outpouring of loving-care are not intended to acknowledge the gift.

The environment Bhava-6 = toxic, unfair, victim-minded, enslaved, addicted, criminalized -- and often warlike -- full of blaming, accusations, litigation, and endless interpersonal conflict.

Realistic Expectations

It is unrealistic to expect validation 7 from the behaviors produced by karaka-graha in 6

Naturally, when Chandra the center of one's emotional well-being is born into the Satkona, the very bhava of 'dissolution' 12 of fairness 7, there can be a great deal of frustration in regard to the mother, as well as a rather chronic rootlessness or difficulty in establishing a permanent home. It makes sense to live in a way that does not require complex property ownership, that does not build unsustainable expectations of caretakers and that self-honors one's extensive but unacknowledged behavior of caring for and sheltering miscellaneous extremely needy people.

it is the nature of the maha-dushthamsha that for Chandra-6 with nourishing Chandra in 6, the more one gives, the more 'needy others' will take. There is no opportunity for graha in 6 to maintain equitable, just, or mutually satisfactory emotional contracts. Legal contracts with very carefully stipulated material terms of agreement may have been success if the L-7 is strong. However the core, root, unconditional, folk-based, security-providing, sense-of-belongingness relationships are corrupted in this life. For a purpose!

Affinity with ill, conflicted, underclass, victims, disproportionate environments

Chandra in 6th-from-radix-lagna automatically places the lagna in 8th-from-Chandra. This lifetime involves considerable animosity and disagreement (6) within a tantrik environment (sudden changes) which induce ongoing transformation of identity.

The physical appearance is somewhat benefitted through the change-agency of lagna in 8th-from-Soma, which urges the cells of the physical body toward destruction and regeneration. Chandra-6 retains a more youthful appearance, darker hair (Mangala influence of 8th-from) and faster recovery from life-threatening illness.

There are numerous threats to life during periods of the lord of 8th-from-Chandra These are mainly threats to the emotional identity but also can be physical downstream to the Chandra-ruled bodily systems such as body liquids needed for digestion, cyclic hormone production, liquid-transport, and drainage of lymph.

Tendency to misappropriateor steal items related to the home, foods and nurturing, caretaking and sheltering, parenting and supporting or protecting others. E.g., may misappropriate food or home supplies. May misrepresent one's behavior in the parenting role

Chandra-6 = karmicly predisposed to be exploited by caretakers, nurturing females or mother-types.

The mother or mother-type primary caretaker (and those who fraudulently pose as a mother) are themselves victimized, drained by their work, pressed into service (by survival needs or by their own desires).

Relationships with all females throughout life are negatively impacted. The women in one's life are tired and overworked.

Mother-type females tend to validate Chandra-6 only through Chandra-6 's service work, and a child with this placement may find that the mother mishandles or disregards the child's physical health.

Ironically, such a mother is often a worker in health services or public welfare support. This mother may offer top quality professional service to outsiders, yet her own children become those to whom she can attend only when she has completed all other duties. The mother is a worker in some outside workplace; the children are the children of a servant. Her service may be highly professionalized if the lord of 6 is auspicious. However, in the case of this mother, "the cobbler's children have no shoes".

Emotional victimization of the type indicated by Soma's rashi, drishti, and position of the bhava pati.

Mother, sisters, aunts, grandmother, female supervisors and teachers, and wife in her role as caretaker, are all in general problematic due to their tendency to place work and service above all else. Fraudulent mother-substitutes, if the lord of Chandra = 6th-from. Jealousy and servitude; resentment toward women and their emotional demands.

Should the lord of Chandra be ill-disposed by rashi or occupy the shad-ashtaka 6-8 from Chandra, the mother may be chronically ill.

Inner emotional argumentation in the mother's character, most notably a maternal tendency toward self-criticism.Phlegm build-up in the physical body, gives a tendency toward sticky hold-on to old emotions.

Instinct to buffer emotional conflict via drug and food intoxication, or by dieting toward starvation. Ancient past-life memories [Chandra] of exhaustion through slavery, overwork, starvation, vicious disease can interrupt the happiness of the current lifetime.

Repeating patterns of occasional severe illness, from which Chandra-6 recovers (perhaps with some lingering, underlying weakness). Irritable temperament due to emotional drain. Overworked.

Depending on Chandra's lordship, may bring benefits to work in service ministry. Particularly good for careers in health care, child care, restaurant, social work, science, compassionate service toward those less fortunate. A caring person who is nevertheless exploited. Deep sympathy toward servants and animals. Can become a great liberator through parental, nurturing care of others.

More difficult for a man, who finds that the women in his life turn into enemies. Fundamental (although perhaps unacknowledged) animosity toward the mother. Deep resentment of women overall.

May be slightly easier for the female, who accepts a service role more comfortably within most cultures and who will often be sick but may also heal others in their need.

Diseases of lymph, watery systems of the body, of breasts, chest, digestive system, blockage in fluid body systems such as 'stroke' -- all due to emotional resentment maintained via the ongoing inner argument. Release the argument and the disease will resolve.

One may feel victimized or wronged by the mother, through the female lineage in one's family, by female servants, nurses, caretakers, babysitters, social workers, cooks, and service workers in a motherly role. Illness and accident or health troubles of the left eye, or of the breasts and stomach.

The mother's relatives suffer emotional imbalance, due to troubles with their own mother, which makes them argumentative, self-defensive, adversarial, belittling, and critical in their nurturing attempts. One is emotionally attached to the mother and her siblings, but the effect of the maternal relationships is harmful overall.

Some tendency toward petty thievery due to bhava-6 = loss of social agreement. Chandra may steal (often inadvertently or unintentionally) items for the home, for nurturing the weak, for creating shelter and feathering the next.

Marriages for Chandra in Bhava-6

mate brings forth emotional content of native's bhava-12

Chandra-6 feels that the mate (12) lives in his/her own private world. (12) The partners may experience the feeling of being mutually emotionally overburdened and exhausted.

barring other trouble with bhava-7, = stronger prognosis for equality and agreement in marriage-2

third marriage, if any, is emotionally motivated by acquisitions of wealth and knowledge

first marriage is emotionally triggered and sustained by deep memories of 7th-from-6th = bhava-12:

dreams, mystical perceptions, the bridge between the astral world and the material world, psychic reading and healing, distant lands, world of the private imagination, meditation, prayer, spiritual guidances and those beings-out-of-bodies who are guides, moksha, past lives, sanctuaries, enclosures, hospitals and prisons; body's feet.
Supplementing the material qualities of 1st-marriage = radix bhava-7,
Moon in bhava-6 gives an emotionally i>distant1st-marriage partner.

Example:

Al Gore = Tipper Gore

second marriage is emotionally triggered and sustained by deep memories of 2nd-from-6th = bhava-7:

marriage and partnership; promises; remembered sexual and peer-advising relationships; advising and counseling, consulting, bargaining and negotiations; capacity to craft agreements in law court; scales and balances, mutual exchanges and contracts; physical body's external sexual pleasure organs

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

natal Moon in bhava-6 gives an emotionally negotiating2nd-marriagepartner

third marriage is emotionally triggered and sustained by deep memories of 9th-from-6th = bhava-2:

family history; speech, truth or lies; food and food storage; oral tradition and song, one's own moral and aesthetic values, knowledge of history, art collections, wealth, and knowledge of languages; mother's family history; physical body face, neck, jaw, mouth, teeth, tongue
Supplementing the material qualities of this partner = radix bhava-9,
natal Moon in bhava-6 gives an emotionally acquisitive 3rd-marriage partner

spouse brings forth emotional content of native's bhava-12

One with Soma in Ari bhava feels that the spouse lives in his/her own private world (12).

Meanwhile the native feels emotionally enslaved to petty labor (6) or medical disability (6).

Unless another more positive graha joined the easily-influenced Soma in 6, the partners are emotionally alienated and mutually distrustful with the native brining in emotional expectation of natural logic of collapse of the union.

the native 's own parents (Chandra) were rarely in a healthy state of accord, and the native naturally expects to repeat this "natural" cycle in one's own marriage.

barring other trouble with bhava-2, there is a more positive prognosis for equality and agreement in marriage-2

Third marriage, if any, is emotionally motivated by acquisitions of wealth and knowledge

first marriage is emotionally triggered and sustained by deep memories of 7th-from-6th = bhava-12:

dreams, mystical perceptions, foreign lands, world of the private imagination, meditation, moksha, past lives, sanctuaries, enclosures, hospitals and prisons; body's feet.
Supplementing the material qualities of 1st-marriage = radix bhava-7, Moon in bhava-6 gives an emotionally distant1st-marriage partner.
[for Al Gore = Mrs. Tipper Gore]

second marriage is emotionally triggered and sustained by deep memories of 2nd-from-6th = bhava-7:

marriage and partnership; promises; remembered sexual and peer relationships; advising, consulting, negotiations, and capacity to reach agreements in law court; scales and balances, exchanges and contracts; physical body's external sexual pleasure organs

Supplementing the material qualities of 2nd-marriage = radix bhava-2, natal Moon in bhava-6 gives an emotionally negotiating2nd-marriagepartner

Third marriage is emotionally triggered and sustained by deep memories of 9th-from-6th = bhava-2:

family history; speech, truth or lies; food and food storage; oral tradition and song, one's own moral and aesthetic values, knowledge of history, art collections, wealth, and knowledge of languages; mother's family history; physical body face, neck, jaw, mouth, teeth, tongue
Supplementing the material qualities of this partner = radix bhava-9, natal Moon in bhava-6 gives an emotionally Acquisitive 3rd-marriage partner

Das / Bepin Behari

Chandra-6:

"... dogged with persistent difficulties.

Often you are endangered

and may get mixed up with criminals and anti-social elements;

you suffer great financial difficulties

and may even be involved in public litigation.

Your physical health may not be strong,

but there will be great mental expansion, intellectual development and moral stamina.

Even during periods of acute physical and financial difficulty

you will succeed in securing help from providential sources.

You will contribute to social progress and command great respectability,

but personally you will have much to complain about.

You are intelligent

and have an overwhelming influence against the most powerful enemies.

However strong they may be, ultimately they surrender to you.
Every repeated attack they make happens to be a misfire.

You may not be devoted to your mother

or indifferent to her. ...

Apprehension from enemy;

delicate; poor appetite,
passions subdued,
easily excited, lazy and inactive.
You may be short-lived, dull,
be of uncertain health, loss of appetite;
or feel slighted .

Sharp vision, brave and bold, cruel and unkind,

no progeny,
strong but lean,
strong desire but can not pro-create. [BPL note: if Guru drishti is received into Chandra, into lagna or into putra-bhava, indeed children can arrive]

Enemy sign causes more enemies;

Moon in depression sign causes cheerlessness,

you may remain sick and ailing.
You may suffer diseases of the stomach.

Note:

Whatever be the valor of enemies,

you will always conquer them.
They will not raise their heads again before you. "
