Emotionally impulsive.

• Chandra-Rahu yoga is generally unfavorable, but it can yield positive results when yuti a strong benefic.

• This native seeks emotional identity validation through breaking emotional barriers, being recognized as special or charismatic, and having strongly desirous feelings toward others.

• Associated with mental illness and emotional volatility.

• Kamakaraka Rahu + sukhakaraka Chandra = characteristics of emotional impatience to realize one's desires

• Emotionally impatient and often incapable of accepting procedural delays in matters of social or emotional recognition and approval.

Amplified emotional need, strong material desire nature .

• the native is passionate about life and plunges into relationships with full-on soothing, parental, sheltering, protective powers.

• Tendency to overwhelm others in the environment, especially intimate partners. Extremely sensitive and controlling emotionally.

Projects one's own feelings upon others.

• Can be psychically invasive, but also charismatic, fascinating, full of charm. Likes to stimulate the feelings of others and take psycho- emotional risks.

Parenting intensity and instrumental display

• The impulsive qualities of Rahu/Chandra promote early motherhood and may generate an unpredictable, self-reflexive, or impatient style of parenting. Caring for children or weakling-others is an instinctive nurturing outreach action which is however appropriated by Rahu's compulsive drive to self-elevate.

• Parenting and, by extension, marriage may devolve into instrumental means to ever-striving Rahu's aspirations and the process of house-keeping, gardening, nurturing a home-based marriage, and raising children loses much of its inherent domestic contentment.

According to the wikipedia: Ashraf Pahlavi (the twin sister of the deposed Shah of Iran = a highly compromised Anuradha Chandra + Rahu)

• "1980 interview with New York Times..., Pahlavi stated, "I have never been a good mother. Because of my way of life, I was not with my children very much".

• Additionally, while Pahlavi was living in exile in New York, her husband ... remained in Paris and the two rarely saw each other"

Women naturally self-identify with their maternal nurturing powers. However, with Rahu+Chandra, the identification becomes not a source of emotional groundedness but rather a platform from which to self-elevate socially.

Rahu+Chandra experiences the Chandra-style acts of sheltering, protecting and defending as emotionally exciting, and power-validating.

Typically the native 's dominant parent, usually the mother, also lacked boundary consciousness . The dominant parent may have felt free to project their own feelings and perceptions upon the child. the native replicates this emotional habit in the process of raising their own children.

One's own relationship with one's parents becomes highly complicated, particularly when the parents also have 'nodal moons'

A family of Examples:

• UK-Prince Charles Windsor = Chandra + Rahu

• UK-Princess Diana Spencer = Chandra + Ketu

• their son William Windsor and the son's wife + co-parent Kate Middleton both also have Chandra + Rahu

• prognosis for the children of William+Kate = continuation of the legacy of volatile, unpredictable parenting due to the psychology of kamakaraka Rahu causing exaggerated fluctuations of the emotional cycles

• The second wife of Charles = Camilla P-B = Kuja + Rahu

Life with a Rahu/Chandra person can easily become a 'soap opera.' Chandra + Rahu generates a deep need for intensely needy (Chandra), reactive, and volatile relationships with emotional intimates (parents, children, lovers) that is never satisfied (Rahu).

• The need for emotional excitement via moving illicitly but rapidly toward a higher station in life (Rahu) cannot be satisfied but rather "reiterates" in perpetuity.

• Unfortunately due to the Obsessive-compulsive nature of "get it now" Rahu, the cycle is rarely broken by mature consciousness.

In extreme cases involving Shani, Kuja, or temporal malefics, the mother may be so addicted to invasive control that the natural maturing separation of her children is perceived as a threat to her survival.

This extreme dependency on one's projected self-image as a nurturing, protective mother (which cannot be sustained as the child grows independent) may lead to clinical conditions such as 'Borderline' Personality Disorder.

• The more common manifestation is a restless desire for intense emotional contact

• Seeks emotional validation as a super-parent.

For these natives, demand for a deeper satisfaction penetrates all of life.

the native may be be charismatic, creating a social ambience of excitement and personalized engagement, if Chandra is in a good rashi or bhava, and well supported by Chandra's lord.

However, in an unfavorable rashi, or in dushthamsha, Rahu + Chandra may attract public censure. the native may get involved with taboo activity (esp. sexual taboos, esp. if Kuja is involved) and in their passion to be emotionally "involved" may cross approved social boundaries. In the reactive, invasive parenting style especially, children's psychic integrity may be compromised. If punitive Shani is involved, harsh punishments to children, by the afflicted parent, may cause social consternation.

Can be a fabulous hands-on healer with good tutoring on boundaries. When these folks are given permission to enter the deep inner space of a wounded person, they can work true magic. the native may be a psychic or intuitive reader/healer, if Budha is strong.

Even when socially successful, this native will have "boundary issues." One must acquire the wisdom to respect others' limits. To live happily, the native must give vent to one's healing/penetrating/invasive/protective instincts. Yet, self-knowledge (when that is available!) also directs that this native must be guided and supervised to manage their personal extremes.

Sudden and dramatic emotional changes causes by eruption of privilege-claiming or power-possessive desires in the Mother.

The Mother is the primary agent of personal disruption. She is unstable emotionally, excitable, volatile in her relationship with the child, and often involved in some variety of taboo cultural mixing or emotionally disruptive, manipulative, controlling, or possessive behavior toward the child.

Chandra craves emotional protection, the Mother may send out two sets of different or contradictory signals: one set encouraging the child to follow all the accepted social protocols in order to always be safe, and another more subtle set of role-modeling behaviors which exemplify courage in challenging rigid rules and taking emotional risks.

the native is oneself, characteristically, an emotional risk-taker. Enthusiasm for jumping into new identities, for accepting nurturing and caretaking opportunities in unusual circumstances, and for challenging the stable emotional balance in existing interpersonal relationships.

Males may possess an unusually high level of female intuition and a deep interest in healing. Females are capable of assuming conventionally male roles with aplomb.

Often a fascinating person mesmerizing charismatic, attractive, and somewhat mysterious.

• Like a swaying cobra, this native is the object of much public fascination (both positive and negative).

Likely to achieve fame or notoriety for their ability to successfully challenge cultural taboos and win remarkable struggles with social convention "against the odds".

Male is interesting to women. Female is charismatic and exciting. Both males and females are able to challenge the cultural norms which dictate emotional and sexual relationship legitimacy, switching gender roles and adapting to new emotional identities with ease.

• Rahu = Great Leap Upward to a higher station or rank, energized by ambitious desire

• Chandra = mother, parents, childhood home, folkways customs, nurturing, acceptance, emotional security, belongingness

Rahu + Chandra = Sudden and dramatic emotional changes causes by eruption of status-seeking ambition or privilege-seeking desire in the Mother.

Parents

If Chandra is otherwise stable, the parents may coordinate as a team thus Chandra's effects may be attributable to both parents working in concert. In the narrative below substitute the word "parents" for the word "mother" if the homelife is fairly steady.

Mother = a highly complex influence upon the native . More so if there are additional graha yuti Chandra + Rahu.

Example of a super-complex mother:

• the very complex role of a notoriously over-promoting stage-mother can be seen for actress-model Brooke Shields = "busybody" Mrigashira Chandra + Rohini "look at me" Rahu + Surya + Guru + atmakaraka swakshetra Shukra + Budha - yes 6 graha in karma bhava dominated by Shukra=beauty = public visibility, and Ms. Shields' Rahu mahadasha began at age 4. Her long-suppressed depression emerged only after becoming a mother herself.

• Friedrich Nietzsche's mother raised her children as a widow. Mother, along with N's 'spinster' sister, was tightly controlling, wanting to appropriate his prestige, and together they reputedly prevented his marriage. His sister later, when N went insane, co-opted his philosophical writings, adjusting them to fit her emerging Nazi ideology.

When Chandra + Rahu, "mom" = the primary agent of both self-elevation into higher rank-visibility-privilege and also she causes the most dramatic personality development disruption. the native must please the mother and the mother wants the native to behave in ways which increase the mother's own status-rank.

• Prince Charles was told by his parents (mother) whom to marry, when, and why. The result was notoriously disruptive to his personality development and his personal life remained in an adolescent state for decades.

Mother may behave in an excitable, volatile fashion due to her personal ambition invested in the desired behavior of the child. Manipulation via withholding then flowing affection and praise is often the only effective method to get the child to do what is wanted.

Mother may transmit two sets of different or contradictory signal-sets:

• one set encouraging the child to follow all the accepted social protocols in order to always be safe (Chandra),

• another more subtle set of role-modeling behaviors which exemplify excitement, ambition, and positive gain resulting from acceptance of risk (Rahu).

the native is oneself, characteristically, an emotional risk-taker. Enthusiasm for jumping into new identities, for accepting nurturing and caretaking opportunities in unusual circumstances, and for challenging the stable emotional balance in existing interpersonal relationships.
