Gochara Mangala in Karkata

"stuck in a rut"

An unusual 234 day transit of Angaraka through Karkata rashi, the neechcha state



Q: Barbara: What are the consequences of Kuja's extraordinarily long journey within His neechcha rashi? Neechcha Mangala has a bad reputation for sneakiness and repressed anger. Yikes!

What to expect?? War? Flood? Personal disaster?


A: Neechcha gochara Mangala = 234 Days in Karkata = 2009-2010

From 05-Oct-2009 until 26-May-2010, gochara (transiting) Mangala will cross through the rashi of Karkata. This is an exceptionally long transit. Normally, gochara Mangala remains in a single rashi for approximately 45 day s.

In the following short chapters I will try to describe the range of possible effects of this remarkably inauspicious transit.

  • Please remember, however, that most planetary transits do notaffect most people!

  • Only those who have a matching phenomenon in one's own personal Jyotisha nativity will be affected by the power of transits.

  • As always, in times of stress and trouble: some will suffer, and some will flourish. As it always has been -- according to the individual nativity.

Profile of the Neechcha Kuja

  • Mangala in Karkata rashi is like an active little boy who wants to climb trees and play "war"; but His over-protective mother (Chandra) keeps Him inside the house, where He gets more and more unhappy and restless. Eventually he becomes disruptive and even abusive. He cannot find a socially approved way to channel his physical energy within the constraints of his mother's house.

  • Mangala a troublemaker when He is plunged into unsuitable environments and no environment is more hostile to Kuja's direct, assertive, competitive character than Karkata. Mangala= neechcha in Karkata rashi because the sign of the Moon is an exclusively emotional, protective, embracing, and parental place. Karkata is the realm of the protective mother, the childhood home, the mother's native culture, one's cultural roots. Karkata is patriotic, defensive, and a guardian of the homeland. Angaraka does not like this environment!

Karkata = home, self-defense

  • Imagine a crab creating its home from beach debris and then defending its home as best it can. When threatened, the crab walks sideways in a distracting motion; the crab never lunges forward in attack. Yet the crab is determined to protect its home. The crab represents Karkata: need for a sheltering home, withdrawal into the safety and protection of home, nurturing and care within the home.

Karkata's lord Chandra = essential karaka for Mother.

  • At the basic physical level, Mother is one's own mother or primary caretaker in the childhood home, especially in her functions of feeding and holding.

  • At the emotional level, Chandra represents one's basic self-acceptance and emotional well-being. Admittedly "well-being" is the result of a complex combination of factors, but the sum total experience of security and stability is Chandra.

  • At the social level, Chandra is the karaka for the feeling of belonging within a culture or society.

  • At themental level,Chandra is identified with the "mind". That is, Chandra represents the vast swirling range of thoughts and images which form the human field of subjective and objective perception. Within that field are thoughts, emotions, reactions, denials, expectations, and every other psycho-mental-emotional experience. All this is encompassed by Chandra. (Budha-Mercury is in charge of a small sub-territory of daily mental transactions.)

  • Spiritually, Chandra represents unconditional love.

Masculine Mangala ill-disposed in Feminine Karkata

Masculine, direct-action Kuja constrained by feminine, indirect-suggestion Chandra = fundamentally oppressed and uncomfortable.

The rashi of Karkata owned by embracing, soothing, accepting, nurturing, emotionally sensitive Chandra is the worst possible place for Mangala to be. Mangala (Kuja) is direct and offensive; Karkata (like the crab) is indirect and defensive. Kuja rules the instinctive animal behaviors of the human body. Kuja is muscular movement. Kuja is sexual pursuit and conquest, Kuja is running and racing; Kuja is competition and sport. Kuja is narcissistic, competitive, and needs to win; Chandra is parental, collaborative, and needs to stabilize.

When Kuja is forces to endure an extended stay in Karkata, Mangala cannot express His athletic, winning, fighting, pursuing character in a direct and honest fashion. He becomes anxious and "aggressively passive-aggressive". Mangala disturbs the emotional peace when He is in Karkata. Forced into the home-loving and peace-enforcing world of Chandra, Mangala feels like He is standing in deep water. He cannot move effectively. Mangala becomes scheming and manipulative, desperately looking for slower, more covert ways to achieve His goals.

Blaming

In Karkata, Kuja's main weapon becomes the social-emotional device of "blaming". Blaming is a method of psycho-emotionally projecting responsibility from oneself outward to another person or outside force.

  • According to my favorite English Etymological Dictionary, www.etymonline.com , the word roots of the modern English word " blame" are:

  • " Old French. blasmer "to speak evil of," from Late Latin. blasphemare "revile, reproach" (see blaspheme).

  • T hink of the children's game " pin the tail on the donkey". Kuja-Karkata will subconsciously project one's unexpressed aggression upon any available emotional target, no matter how ridiculous.

  • central emotional behavior of Mangala in Karkata in the nativity will be a tendency to blame others in reactive response to the threat of guilt or shame. Chandra (the mother) is by nature a master of guilt, and Mangala being a lean and mean, self-centered athlete does not wish to be encumbered by guilt imposed by others. Therefore when guilt, shame, and indeed most varieties of social-emotional bondage threaten Kuja's ability to run, hunt, pursue, and win with optimum speed and agility, Kuja simply projects His social responsibility upon Others.

  • Others may include outside persons, unnamed social or environmental forces, or even the Divine. Others to Mangala are all approximately equal since they are all adversaries and they are all not-my-body, not-me. Expect to encounter increased Blaming and Blaspheming of family members, neighbors, co-workers, other nationalities ethnicities and tribes, other religions and belief systems, as Mangala endures His unusually long tenure in the hostile rashi of Karkata! Mangala in Karkata indicates "emotional conflict with the brother".

Immature aggression

Kuja operates most naturally on the physical plane, and the Jyotisha age for Mangala's maturity = age 28.Kuja is an inherently immature graha who naturally does not consider the longer-term effects of His actions. (Kuja's adversary Shani insists on long-term thinking, and Kuja finds Shani to be extremely oppressive!) Mangala's logic in war represents the level of understanding of the young adult male. Developmentally, the young adult male is easily convinced of the utility of killing. It may seem, at this stage of brain development, that by killing the adversary, upon whom He has projected His own interior conflict, He will "win" the conflict and move ahead in life.

(Modern brain research is beginning to show strong evidence that human physical brain development is not complete until approximately age 30-31.In Jyotisha, the native must complete the second Rahu-Ketu opposition age 27-28 and the first Shani return age 28-31 before entering adulthood. This Jyotisha principle is one of the best reasons for waiting until after age 30-31 to embark on adult marriage. Marriage contracted any earlier than age 30-31 [before end of Saturn return] must be supervised by the parents if it is to succeed.)

Getting Stuck - Mangala Can't Swim

  • One of the driving psycho-emotional features of Mangala in Karkata is the inability to negotiate constructive change. the native gets "stuck" in repetitive, dysfunctional patterns and is unable to emerge from his dilemma because he keeps using the wrong weapons for the environment.

  • Imagine a skillful and athletic warrior, dressed in metal armor, trying to fight a sword battle while standing in cold water up to his neck. He cannot accomplish very much and he is enormously upset and frustrated. His skills seem worthless yet he feels the same urgency to fight and win. Imagine firing a gun underwater - the shooter has very little control over the trajectory of the bullet in that environment; perhaps the gun will not even fire. It is very hard for Mangala to fight, contest, pursue, and conquer in Chandra's land, the watery abyss.

  • Mangala still needs to win, but in the viscous, womb-like environment of Karkata, He must win by emotional manipulation rather than direct confrontation. He must conquer the object of His sexual desires by seductive plea rather than direct pursuit. He must represent himself not as warrior-hunter seeking domination and conquest (which is His true nature) but rather as a peace-seeking, stability-loving, diplomatic agent trying to move things along in a way that is best for everyone.

Reactive resistance

  • In Karkata's oppressive environment, Kuja is often forced to engage with other people's problems before He can solve His own. In Karkata, Kuja encounters an obstacle course of reactive resistance from people who are stuck in their own routines and who resist innovation, movement, and change. Mangala must either dominate or eliminate His adversaries. Kuja must still pursue His quarry in the hunt, but in Karkata, His movement is so encumbered that must use entirely psycho-emotional methods to conquer and win.

  • While not overtly or intentionally deceptive, Kuja in Karkata is vastly slowed in movement by the deep waters of emotional need, and His vitality is handicapped by resistance from people and forces in His environment. He is unhappy, reactive rather than proactive, and covertly rather than overtly disruptive. Kuja's actions, even when dishonorable, may be protected by the family that He is harming (see USA Pres-3, Thomas Jefferson, whose second family through his slave-mistress was denied for centuries).

Passive-Aggressive Violence; Coercion and Extortion

  • Neechcha Mangala, a good planet gone awry, can express His desire to dominate and control others through criminal exploitation. In the most severe situations, when neechcha Angaraka applies multiple pressures in the nativity - such as simultaneous drishti to important lagnas, to Chandra, perhaps to Budha the karaka for writing (extortion notes), and especially drishti to Shani (who rules human law and social control) - Mangala in neechcha condition can become an agent of crime. In particular, sexual blackmail.

Trouble at Home

In Karkata, Mangala cannot move forward; He must "fight in place".

  • Therefore, Kuja is a troublemaker in the domestic scene. In the modern world, our "domus" remains the family home, but also now includes the national homeland and the global environment. Kuja in Karkata gives "frustration and blaming at home".

  • Social policy issues related to parenting, storm shelters, the very old and the very young, national and personal security, government protectionism, government-as-parent (Big Brother), property ownership, and ocean-life may all arise in contentious and emotionally manipulative debate.


Gochara Kuja Karkata - What to Expect: World and Personal

What to expect during Mangala's 234 day passive-aggressive tour of Karkata, from 05-Oct-2009 until 26-May-2010:

  • In the world of nations, expect an increase in energy of angry defensiveness and more frequent occurrence of covert invasions. Regions that have intensive Mars influence such as most of Africa and the Middle East, and other areas prone to the eruption of war and sexual assault, will feel an intensification of existing emotional tensions between adversarial parties.

War

Kuja in Karkata does not indicate an outburst of new fighting. Rather, neechcha Kuja will deepen long-established underlying frustrations, and increase the repetitive intensity and vigor of reactive, projected blaming, rooted in psycho-emotional frustration.

  • Mangala in Karkata does not incite warfare directly. Rather, during the time that Mangala transits Karka rashi, existing animosities are psycho-emotionally repeated through angry blaming and adversarial intensity is reinforced.

  • This long-term behavior during an extended transit of Mangala through Karkata will lay the foundation for future overt conflict.

  • During this time, the target populations (Mars People) become increasingly habituated to polarizing rhetoric. Self-advancement, which is always Kuja's goal, is increasingly achieved through covert methods of blaming, stealing, and running interference in the lives of others.

  • When and if the time comes for physical war, the Mangala-dominated populations will have long demonized their outside target. 's conviction the war is honorable and necessary to "eliminate conflict" is long , projecting their own inadequacies and weaknesses (things unacceptable to Mars) upon the Other.

Violent or over-energized Water

Neechcha Kuja can be a tragic agent of severe water damage. E.g., typhoon, hurricane, flood, ocean storms. If associated with bhava-8, one's cause of death may be drowning. If associated with bhava-6, water-borne disease related to a violent watery storm.

Crimes of Sexual Manipulation and Coercion

  • Kuja-Karkata is associated with sexual invasion on emotional pretense or as a method of emotional domination or coercion. The karaka agents within the family are predatory male family members, notably brothers. (Mangala is the significator of brothers). Also implicated are fathers, uncles, and grandfathers who may feel they have a brotherly privilege with the victim.

  • During the extended transit, these social aberrations become more prominent and newsworthy; public outrage is stimulated, perhaps by a neechcha Mangala related tragedy.

Invasive or abusive parenting; family incest

Karkata (Karka, Cancer) is the rashi of shelter and nurture, home and homeland. The people and places of Karka include protective parents, supportive teachers, the early childhood home, buildings and vehicles, and local culture validations such as licenses, diplomas, certificates, passports, and other proof of belonging in the homeland. Emotionally and socially, Karkata indicates "secure foundation". Spiritually, Karkata is the "eternal and unchanging home" that is pure truth.

  • When Mangala, the graha of male hormones and animal instinct, enters the normally placid parental realm of Karkata, one outcome can be sexual-emotional invasion by the parents, the male siblings, or both. In the most severe angles of a Jyotisha nativity, neechcha Kuja with no corrections may indicate a frustrated parent (typically but not always the parent) whose inner emotional violence emerges in sexually invasive behavior toward the child.

  • The child's sense of protection and shelter is damaged. Without conscious intervention, the child may go on to perpetuate the cycle of invasion as the only known form of parental bonding with the child.

The invasiveness of neechcha Kuja does not always manifest physically. Emotionally invasive parenting behaviors such as meddling, criticizing, and blaming; disturbing the food-nurturing cycles (for example, parental taunting toward a child for being self-protectively overweight or constantly interrupting their meals) are also possible outcomes of a severely neechcha Kuja. If the current transit triggers any of the key lagnas or natal positions, the Mangala disturbance is exacerbated.

  • In the USA celebrity news, the beginning of gochara Kuja's long incursion into Karkata (rashi of protective parents and the childhood home) was signaled by actress MacKenzie Phillips revelation that she had a long-term incestuous sexual relationship with her celebrity father.

  • This revelation in the public conversation space (internet and television) created an upsurge of awareness and outrage against this social crime. Expect rape as a weapon of war to become a major issue of social policy discussion during the Kuja transit.

Karaka of Mangala - the Types

  • The worst affected parties will be virile young men, who epitomize the competitive, self-assertive, muscular, sexually conquesting, warrior- huntsman who is Mangala. These young men lack the maturity necessary to understand the benefit of cooperative and collaborative process in human relations.

  • They feel a powerful animal instinct to fight, win, and be a hero; they are in the developmental social stage of desperately trying to show independence from their mothers; and they are too young to imagine the long-term consequences of their actions.

  • The karaka population in particular will find that their normally direct, selfish, muscularly forceful aggression is suppressed. The heroic recognition they seek must be achieved covertly, using psycho-emotional projection weapons such as blaming. It is very hard on the karaka Mangala type when their environment prevents them from acting fiercely, directly, and successfully in life.


Gochara Effects to the personal Kundali

Folks who have particular Mangala placements in the Jyotisha nativity will be personally affected. It is important to note that unless one

(1) is a "karaka type" of Mangala (warrior, young adult male, hunter, pursuer/conqueror, athlete, notably and successfully competitive personality)

Or

(2) has a Jyotisha nativity which is specifically affected by the 234 transit of Kuja through Karkata rashi,

  • One may be completely unaware of the effects of Kuja. The transit does not affect everyone. It will strongly affect only a few specific nativities which feature the Jyotisha phenomena listed below.

If the native has more than one of the listed affected placements, the effect doubles. If three items are involved, effect triples.


Phenomenon in the Jyotisha Nativity

Predicted Effects of Gochara Neechcha Kuja per the Individual Kundali

Mahadasha of Mangala - major effect

Weaker intensity: Emotional frustration due to lack of movement. Domination by females, feeling that one is unable to escape an over-protective mother. Passive-aggressive approach; limitation of forward movement.

Bhukti (secondary Vimshottari period, sub-period) of Mangala

Strongest intensity: Emotional frustration due to lack of movement. Domination by females, feeling that one is unable to escape an over-protective mother. Passive-aggressive approach; limitation of forward movement.

Pratyantaradasha (tertiary Vimshottari period, sub-sub-period) of Mangala

Quite strong intensity, not quite as much as the bhukti..Emotional frustration due to lack of movement. Domination by females, feeling that one is unable to escape an over-protective mother. Passive-aggressive approach; limitation of forward movement.

Mahadasha of Chandra - relatively minor effect unless Chandra occupies Thula, Makara, or Kumbha

Aggressive, immature male energy upsets your peaceful personal domain. Intrusion into the home space, usually emotional invasion not physical. People try to manipulate you through veiled threats and power displays, but be assured that they are unlikely to have the forward-moving power they want to have. Much turmoil and emotional confrontation; little resolution.

The good news? If Chandra occupies Karka, Thula, Makara, or Kumbha, Chandra-Mangala yoga is created for 234 days. Your money-making energy will increase!

Natal Kuja in radix Karkata, in any bhava

Generally speaking this is a difficult transit. If you've been living with an uncorrected (i.e., not neechcha-bhanga) Mangala for your whole life, you know that manipulation, deceit, denial, passive-aggression, and all sorts of emotional dysfunction are simply part of family life, and these sorry behaviors tend to follow you into the workplace as well. Get ready. All the people who normally drive you crazy will double their efforts, and some new ones may enter the scene. You are that proverbial armored soldier trying to do battle while standing in water up to the neck. It's bloody hard. All the manipulative techniques you've learned along the way will be called on during these 234 days as you go into intense watery battle, again.

Karkata = radix lagna

See Kuja in bhava-1.

Parashara notes that Karkata and Simha lagna have notorious troubles in marriage (See: Angelina Jolie) which are somewhat alleviated by choosing an elder partner but generally have to do with the partner being staid, conservative, and slow to action. Kuja, the karaka for action, casts an unwelcome drishti upon the 7thradix house, which suggests that the native tries to enforce some type of emotional change upon the spouse which the spouse resists, and thus the marital-partnership frustration.

Karkata = navamsha lagna

Angaraka crossing the navamsha lagna for 234 days in the neechcha rashi is bound to have an ill effect on partnership. Those who are prepared can take protective measures. The transit creates a temporary Kuja Dosha within the navamsha, and its effects include the native becoming more dominating, manipulative, and emotionally volatile due to frustration than one normally is. Of course if Karkata navamsha lagna is Mangala's natal place, then all effects are double-strength.

Karkata = Chandra lagna (very intense)

Kuja in Chandra's rashi is like pouring molten metal into a pool of cool water. There is massive roiling and steaming; the water is poisoned and the metal is ruined for future use.

These are general predictions regarding the effect of Kuja drishti upon the 12 bhava during Kuja's transit through Karkata.

The effects are doubled if natal Mangala also occupies Karkata, in other words if the transit is also creating a "natal return" for Mangala.

Kuja-Karkata in bhava-1 = Yogakaraka

= native intelligence and public position = extremely strong (compare to USA Pres-3, Thomas Jefferson). Affected bhava = 4, 7, 8/ Expect to endure your share of conflict with others, esp in the home/homeland and matters domestic/patriotic (4); in consulting/advising relationships and contracted unions (esp marriage) (7); in managing confidential or secret information, inheritance (both financial and psychological), taxes, surgeries (8). Contentious issues regarding spouse's money and in-laws.

Kuja-Karkata in bhava-2 = affected houses = 5, 8, 9.

Kuja drishti to 5 is not overly harmful. the native will speak insidious language, blaming others and creating suspicion in the family. Children and artistic performers may have minor accidents. Drishti to 8 increases marital conflict re: in-laws and shared monies in the union. Also a karaka for personal emergency. Drishti to 9 can exacerbate the existing frustrations in relationship with father, guru, professor, religious teacher, or with the university or temple system.

Kuja-Karkata in bhava-3 = affected houses = 6, 9, 10.

Drishti to 6 is a good thing, indicating more energy available to fight off one's enemies. If you are in a workplace conflict (and if Kuja occupies Karkata you probably will be) then you will win albeit by subtle or sneaky means. Drishti to 9 can exacerbate the existing frustrations in relationship with father, guru, professor, religious teacher, or with the university or temple system. Drishti of Angaraka (Mars) to bhava-10 is beneficial: the native is energized to compete more ambitiously for higher position and respect.

Kuja-Karkata in bhava-4 = affected houses = 7, 10, 11.

Temporary Kuja Dosha. One may express aggression toward the spouse. If also a Mangala period in the Vimshottari Dasha, be very careful of your marriage balance. Drishti of Angaraka (Mars) to bhava-10 is beneficial: the native is energized to compete more ambitiously for higher position and respect. Toward matters of 11, marketplace profit-seeker vigorously competitive and successful in efforts to gain more income, albeit via manipulative means.

Kuja-Karkata in bhava-5 = affected houses = 8, 11, 12.

Drishti to 8 increases marital conflict re: in-laws and shared monies in the union. Also a karaka for personal emergency. Toward matters of 11, marketplace profit-seeker vigorously competitive and successful in efforts to gain more income, albeit via manipulative means. Angaraka drishti to 12 will upset the dream life. Nightmares or repeating imagery of being threatened by unable to move. Sexualization of the bedroom which can give happy result in marriage. Almost impossible to meditate due to churning up of the astral imagery. May energize foreign travel. You can author deep literature about sexual-emotional-psychological frustration, exploitation, and invasive ways of meeting emotional needs.

Kuja-Karkata in bhava-6 = affected houses = 9, 12, 1.

Drishti to 9 can exacerbate the existing frustrations in relationship with father, guru, professor, religious teacher, or with the university or temple system. Angaraka drishti to 12 will upset the dream life. Nightmares or repeating imagery of being threatened by unable to move. Sexualization of the bedroom which can give happy result in marriage. Almost impossible to meditate due to churning up of the astral imagery. May energize foreign travel. Drishti to 1 increases the muscular, dynamic, and sexual energy of the physical body. Since Guru, meditation are disturbed and sexual, traveling energy are improved, this is a better time to be active and accomplish one's own goals albeit through subterfuge; one may not be "shown the way" during this transit; one may need to struggle to move forward on the spiritual path. Good time to take a vacation from ritual practices. You have many enemies in this life and you conquer them all.

Kuja-Karkata in bhava-7 = affected houses = 10, 1, 2.

Drishti of Angaraka (Mars) to bhava-10 is beneficial: the native is energized to compete more ambitiously for higher position and respect. Drishti to 1 increases the muscular, dynamic, and sexual energy of the physical body. Drishti to 2 can increase the amount of money saved but be cautious of getting into family arguments about money because of money's ability to symbolize emotional security. Everyone in your family historywill be cranky for 234 days!

Kuja-Karkata in bhava-8 = affected houses = 11, 2, 3.

Toward matters of 11, marketplace profit-seeker vigorously competitive and successful in efforts to gain more income, albeit via manipulative means. Drishti to 2 can increase the amount of money saved but be cautious of getting into family arguments about money because of money's ability to symbolize emotional security. Everyone in your family historywill be cranky and suspicious of your motives for 234 days! Drishti to 3 gives increased productivity in the communicative functions of business administration, publishing, calendaring, etc. Departmental meetings are likely to be contentious.

Kuja-Karkata in bhava-9 = affected houses = 12, 3, 4.

Angaraka drishti to 12 will upset the dream life. Nightmares or repeating imagery of being threatened by unable to move. Sexualization of the bedroom which can give happy result in marriage. Almost impossible to meditate due to churning up of the astral imagery. May energize foreign travel. Drishti to 3 gives increased productivity in the communicative functions of business administration, publishing, calendaring, etc. Departmental meetings are likely to be contentious.

Home/homeland and matters domestic/patriotic (4) are upset by passive-aggressive behaviors either toward the parents in the childhood home, or by the parents esp. the mother. If combined with Kuja Drishti to Chandra, be very cautious around women, esp. female teachers, housewives, real-estate people, any women involved in property ownership, home-making, or the indoctrination levels of education (K-12, K-16).

Kuja-Karkata in bhava-10 = affected houses = 1, 4, 5.

Drishti to 1 increases the muscular, dynamic, and sexual energy of the physical body. Home/homeland and matters domestic/patriotic (4) are upset by passive-aggressive behaviors either toward the parents in the childhood home, or by the parents esp. the mother. If combined with Kuja Drishti to Chandra, be very cautious around women, esp. female teachers, housewives, real-estate people, any women involved in property ownership, home-making, or the indoctrination levels of education (K-12, K-16). Children and artistic performers may have minor accidents as a result of drishti to 5, but one also feels a boost of creative literary and political enthusiasm.

Kuja-Karkata in bhava-11 = affected houses = 2, 9, 10.

Drishti to 2 can increase the amount of money saved but be cautious of getting into family arguments about money because of money's ability to symbolize emotional security. Everyone in your family historywill be cranky and suspicious of your motives for 234 days! Drishti to 9 can exacerbate the existing frustrations in relationship with father, guru, professor, religious teacher, or with the university or temple system. Drishti of Angaraka (Mars) to bhava-10 is beneficial: the native is energized to compete more ambitiously for higher position and respect.

Kuja-Karkata in bhava-12= affected houses = 3, 10, 11.

Makara = radix seventh bhava

See Kuja-Karkata in bhava-1. Temporary (234 day) Kuja dosha. Be careful of strain upon marriage due to native's own frustrations with stalled movements in life. Tendency to lash out emotionally at partner. Try to be conscious of the short-term but intense danger of targeting one's innocent spouse with anger meant for another situation. There is actually an internal conflict regarding the parents, probably the mother, which is the root of the frustration. Be gentle with yourself and protect your spouse. Avoid blaming.

Makara = navamsha seventh bhava

See: Karkata = navamsha lagna

Makara = seventh from Chandra

Same as Chandra in Karkata. This is probably the most difficult situation created by gochara Mangala in Karkata. the native is emotionally super-energized, but neechcha Kuja's effect is somewhat more like a hurricane or water-storm. Not like the ideal smooth-running engine of the uchcha Kuja. Tendency to unleash one's emotional storm upon the spouse. However, this transit is very good for making money.

Shani in Thula(4th drishti)

Angaraka's 4thand 8thdrishti are His strongest Parashari aspects. Harsh drishti upon Shani is tough for the native . Uchcha Shani is very strong and Mangala experiences Shani's resistance as yet another frustration in Kuja's attempt to move forward. Shani wins. the native may feel ineffective at home/homeland or in dealings with properties; problems are due to manipulative, covert, or controlling personalities, most likely women but the problematic agents can be males with emotional disorders. Also problems in profession, same dynamic.

Chandra in Thula(4thdrishti)

Angaraka's 4thand 8thdrishti are His strongest Parashari aspects. Harsh drishti upon Chandra is emotionally challenging however this is an excellent period for making money to the temporary Chandra-Mangala yoga

Mangala does not get resistance from Chandra but rather Mangala invades. Psychic invasion by manipulative, covert, or controlling personalities, most likely women but the problematic agents can be males with emotional disorders. Also problems in parenting and home security, same dynamic.

Various bhava-pati (house lords) in Thula(4thdrishti)

All bhava-pati in 4th-from transiting Kuja will be manipulated, invaded, cajoled, deceived, extorted etc. to some degree. The effects are only noticeable if the native is also in a Vimshottari period of Kuja or a period of the house lord in the 4thfrom Kuja.


Shani in Kumbha (8thdrishti)

Angaraka's 4thand 8thdrishti are His strongest Parashari aspects. Harsh drishti upon Shani is tough for the native . Swakshetra Shani is quite strong and Mangala experiences Shani's resistance as yet another frustration in Kuja's attempt to move forward. Shani wins. the native is trying to open up some cache of secret information which Shani intends to keep closed. Shani wins.

Chandra in Kumbha (8thdrishti)

Some trouble in the secretive, confidential areas of the native 's private memories or in the jointly held financial assets of marriage. Activates memories of invasion. Can be a trigger to activate the conditions of death if Kuja is also a maraka and several other rules are met. An excellent time for a "breakthrough" in confidential psychotherapeutic or surgical settings, after a few weeks or months of expressing extreme frustration, a barrier to healing may snap. Can indicate a painful but fruitful "healing crisis" in the deep-healing modalities.

Various bhava-pati (house lords) in Kumbha (8thdrishti)

All bhava-pati in 8th-from transiting Kuja will be manipulated, invaded, cajoled, deceived, extorted etc. to some degree. The effects are only noticeable if the native is also in a Vimshottari period of Kuja or a period of the house lord in the 8thfrom Kuja.

Shani in Makara (7thdrishti)

The spouse is a staunchly conservative, sober, and lawful person (if only Shani occupies yuvati bhava). Kuja in gochara opposition may upset the native , who needs emotional drama; whilst the spouse is not amused. Tension in marriage. The spouse is annoyed and the native is needy/immature/disruptive. Can be managed by consciousness.

Chandra in Makara (7thdrishti)

Temporary Kuja Dosha.

Native feels the urge to emotionally manipulate or harass or subvert the spouse, or perhaps meddle in the dealings of the business partner. The manipulative invasion succeeds because absorptive Chandra cannot put up much of a defense against Mangala. However, any damage done at this time will be remembered. To avoid traumatizing the partner (marriage or business) the native must be vigilant. Direct invasive intentions away from the partner and toward self-inquiry. Great time for therapy!

Various bhava-pati (house lords) in Makara (7thdrishti)

All bhava-pati in 7th-from-transiting Kuja will be manipulated, invaded, cajoled, deceived, extorted etc. to some degree. The effects are only noticeable if the native is also in a Vimshottari period of Kuja or a period of the house lord in the 4thfrom Kuja.
