Carlos-Charles-Carl-Karl-the-5th, Holy Roman Emperor, retreating from the battle of Muhlberg

Titian c. 1548 at the Prado Museum

Mangala * Kuja * Angarika

in Ayur Bhava 8

swabhava

Mars in the eighth house

Graha Drishti

• the glance of Mangala-8 injects: bhava-2, bhava-3, bhava-11

Actions (yang Mangala) originate in the self-destructive and rebirthing instincts (8)

Targeted, outgoing vigor of Mangala-8 penetrates:

• Dhana bhava = vigorously collecting treasuries of wealth and knowledge while producing dynamic speech

• Vikrama bhava= discovering secret sources of regeneration and rebirth

• Labha bhava = earning material achievements and marketplace income

see: Strength of Mangala Drishti from Mangala-bhava-8

splendid placement for healers such as psychiatrists, psychologists, midwives, surgeons, tantriki, occultists,

also superb energy for investigators, those who would "penetrate the veil" of secrecy which surrounds harmful doings, police detective and crime solvers, forensic scientists etc

also good for aggressive (Kuja) pursuit of hidden agents, poisons, invisible threats, unseen forces

Bhava-8 = the location of numerous "apertures" large and small which constitute the membranous tunnel-like passageways between the various realms of experience: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual (to name just four well-known worlds; there are more.)

Mangala in 8 hastens the kinetic energy of the tunnels. Kuja facilitates vigorous and sometimes frightening movement through these apertures.

Harms longevity. Native enjoys a short, vigorous life with a quick, perhaps bloody, end.

activities of Kuja's two Bhava = subject to sudden upheaval and destruction-rebirth change.

To have Mangala's portfolio radically, even catastrophically, destroyed during the lifetime is indeed

A good thing for Vrischika and Mithuna lagna, where Kuja = L-6, and for Vrishabha and Dhanau lagna, where Kuja = L-12 .

For Vrishabha lagna, Mithuna lagna, Vrischika lagna, Dhanusha lagna,

• Kuja in Randhrasthana = a boost up.

Strongest benefits for Vrischika lagna and Mithuna lagna where major obstacles from Aristhana, such as enemies, debts, and disease, can be aggressively destroyed because L-6 Mangala-8 receives Viparita Raja Yoga

• Albert Einstein

• Carla Bruni Sarkozy

Mithuna lagna may be enormously successful in secret commercial operations or hidden messaging and dealing with a criminal element such as detective or interrogation work.

Focus of Vital Physical Activity

• managing the finances of the spouse, private or confidential investments

• dealing with in-laws

• working directly with taxation, doing combat with taxes Warren Buffet, Rupert Murdoch

• going to war against hidden enemies, dealing with hidden threats

• handling secret, dangerous or volatile information

  • USA Pres-01 George Washington

  • Fascist Dictator of Italy 1922-1943 Benito Mussolini

  secret explosive forces = Albert Einstein

• intervention in emergencies = George Washington, Benito Mussolini

• confrontation with the circumstances of death, dealing with deadly force = George Washington

• secret knowledge, tantric mystery skills = Yogananda, Rajneesh

• intervention into psychological trauma states, healing touch, surgery, midwifery

• diagnosis of hidden conditions

Sibling Group, Cell, Cohort, Teams

• Creates Kuja-drishti upon bhava-3 which typically generates the birth or acquisition of a younger sibling (full, half or step.) Exception: often no sibling if L-3 occupies dissolving bhava-12. However one of the siblings may get into some trouble in life, via challenges related to secret dealings and impulsiveness.

• If Rahu drishti to Mangala in 8, culturally taboo sexual behavior. the native is not completely free from these challenges either, but the sibling expresses the taboo behavior in more extreme form.

• Count sibling rank from the Chandra lagna. Younger sibling = 3rd from Chandra, elder sibling = 11th from Chandra.

• If Mangala occupies unfavorable bhava counted from both Chandra lagna and from radix lagna, there may be serious disturbance in the native 's life caused by a sibling. However if one of these angles is favorable, the sibling's trouble is usually contained within their own life, and the native is not much harmed.

Kuja-8 is either a great healer, or a controlling, oversexed and manipulative individual. Or both. With sufficient tantric advancement, may be able to penetrate the auras of others in order to do "psychic surgery" and other requested interventions.

Increased drive toward tantric knowledge and dynamic, self-initiated response to catastrophic change.

Generally favorable for Mesha lagna and Vrischika lagna, provided one has access to conscious healing traditions. Driven pursuit of mystery traditions and secret societies.

Success in undercover investigations, insurance adjuster, "first responder", emergency medicine, direct intervention in life-and-death situations, handling volatile and dangerous conflict, all forms of catastrophic change, plus other sudden, forced-upheaval types of enterprise.

Offer during any Mangala period

Offer during periods of the L-8

Offer once per month when gochara Chandra journeys via the natal 8th bhava *or* via the trama-prone 8th-from-Chandra

Service to those who have been traumatized and are ready for healing.

Ideally the service or charitable donations of wealth for the purpose of good works should be masked or disguised; best not to call attention to the donor.

Beneficiaries of seva may include

• widows and orphans;
• those suffering from catastrophic loss whether physical, emotional or financial;
• those recovering from medical surgery or a difficult childbirth;
• victims of invasion or toxic shock including invasive chemicals such as poisons and invasive thoughts;
• those undergoing detoxification
• those whose worlds have been shattered by some species of sudden, penetrating, unexpected force
  • natural disaster e.g. earthquake, flood, fire
  • social upheaval e.g. revolutionary violence, crimes of war
  • personal crime e.g. rape, violent assault including repeated psychological attacks

Mangala-8 is a splendid placement for healers such as psychiatrists, psychologists, midwives, surgeons, tantriki, occultists, police detective and crime solvers, forensic scientists etc. Those with a solid education in these professions may offer their skills in charitable service to those who need healing assistance alleviate many types of personal ignorance and fear.

Remember healers: you are facilitators. Healers do not actually "do" anything. Healers provide the environment that is conducive to healing, provide the uncritical and attentive support, and most of all provide the protective psychic grounding. However it is essential to remain aware that no one can heal another person. Ultimately each person heals oneself.

The service is to provide the safe and supportive environment in which the beneficiary may regain the strength needed to continue their personal journey at a higher level of wisdom. When a person is jolted by a severe shock one may be temporarily disoriented upon the path. The healer simply stops the motion of the forward movement for a brief moment so that the affected being can regroup.

Karaka for a sudden death; by tantric methods of intentional transformation; by weapon; from hidden diseases; or by mysterious causes including guerilla ambush or secret attack from inside or from outside.

Tends to die young-ish, but not always (check for a life-extending, change-resistant Shani drishti to 8 which indicates a longer life)

from an outside force, via bullet or sword

from an inside force, via heart attack or internecine attack

• Paramahamsha Yogananda = Mangala + Guru in 8 = death age 59

As a "bad planet in a bad house " Kuja in 8 does some good things!

In any rashi, Kuja gives a sudden physical departure from this earthly vale. No long painful suffering before death. Poof, you're outta here! Typically an unexpected "accidental" death.

In Karkata, where Kuja is extremely weakened and passive-aggressive, the conditions of death (not the timing of death) will be watery, malingering, usually at home, and in Azlesa particularly the implication is family manipulative scheming and emotional turmoil.

Of course this "benefit" of a quick death is the result of intensely malefic effects, so only the consciously skillful tantriki can really enjoy it.

If one is "prepared" for a sudden death, for example by reading in the spiritual literature of death (e.g., Tibetan Book of Living and Dying) And understanding what to expect, then the quick process of liberation from the physical form can be a spiritual as well as a physical blessing.

Kuja in bhava-8 with strength is a karaka for sudden surgeries and death by weapons.

• But note important differences that suggest an injury or health crisis rather than an assassination.

Kuja/8indicates a vital subconsciously-held past-life memory carried over from heroic but fatal fighting in battlefields of previous lives. Kuja in bhava-8 does not guarantee death by weapons at any particular time in life.

Kuja merely provides the predisposition toward that eventuality, due to the intensity of the past-life memory.

• The memory infuses one's expectations with a vivid reminder of the circumstances, and their previous result.

100%= 4th aspect to labha bhava = cautiously productive in the natural Bhava of Shani.

• Energizes income-producing behavior from self-initiated business dealings.

• Natural tension produced by Kuja's drishti to Shani's natural Bhava can generate conflict between conventional earning styles and Kuja's my-own-way market behaviors.

• Intentionally independent investments will prosper.

25% = 7th drishti to dhana bhava= disruptive in the natural Bhava of agreeable Shukra.

• May damage wealth through overspending.

• Makes the speech very direct, clipped or harsh. Amplified by Rahu. Qualities of rising Mars to be found in 2nd spouse; 2nd marriage typically brief.

• 25% Kuja Dosha toward the second marriage. Kuja gives good results in his natural Bhava . Excellent for work in confidential or secret specialties such as private investments, psychiatry, or tantra 8).

• If Kuja occupies a friendly rashi, one handles emergencies with a direct and assertive style.

100%= 8th drishti to Sahaja bhava = productive in the natural Bhava of neutral Budha.

• Helps small-group communications. Excellent for think-tank type teamwork, especially regarding avant-garde metaphysical ideas.

• Mars aspect an contribute to the self-made wealth of the third Bhava .

Quem di diligunt, adolescens moritur.

(Whom the gods love, dies young.)

"Bad planet in a bad house gives good results." Kuja the Hunter does well in bhava-8, where His aggressive, competitive instincts battle the forces of annihilation through massive upheaval. Should Kuja be well disposed via drishti and rashi, the native performs with athletic prowess in emergency environments, or one handles covert operations with aplomb. Uchcha Kuja will handle confidential (often illegal) business matters with decisive force.

Splendid position for a surgeon or midwife. the native does not create secrets but rather one plunges into the hidden or taboo environment with skillful physical force.

Neechcha Kuja here is disastrous, as the native charges into other people's business with intent to manipulate and disrupt. But most other situations for Kuja are beneficial for handling existing secrecy with vigor and the long-term outcome is typically a success.

Bhratri-karaka in bhava-8 = similar to Shukra in bhava-8
