The Battle
Shani-Mesha invests most of Shani's
resistance energy into the
battle against warrior-competitors, against new birth, and against
the instinctive, muscular urges of sexual pursuit, innovation, and
movement.
One lives as it were "under siege" as the
social-ordering forces of Shani struggle against Mangala's
animal-vitality instincts toward
survival hunting, competitive fighting, and relentless sexual mating.
Low vitality
Life-force vitality starts out fairly low due to most resources being
deployed in battle. But reserves of available life-force increase over time.
Shani gives better results with age, and the second half of life is always
better with this placement. Eventually the native comes to understand the nature of the battle and this hard-won
understanding deploys one's energy in a more shrewd and effective manner.
Compensating Jyotisha factors can increase or decrease the vitality levels
at birth.
Gains of strength are expected when Shani = in kendra.
Shani-Mesha
will gain the power of Endurance when in parivartamsha
with Mangala in a rashi of Shani.
Additionally weakening of this disadvantageous placement may occur if
Shani is simultaneously fighting other battles, such as Shani in
hostile putra bhava or Shani + Rahu, which are both rather debilitating
situations for the Lord of Static Anti-Change.
Overall however it is a "slow start" placement
characterized by a fear of invasive, dominating personalities which
creates a psychology of resistance (Shani) to movement, sexual
vitality, and birth
(including one's own birth) in the context of constant (Shani) explosions
of newness and blood.
Brain
The locus of struggle is often in the
brain itself. Associated with learning disabilities and
ailments of the brain, often in the presence of considerable innovative
genius.
-
John Winston Lennon
= severe learning disabilities in childhood, left school at
14; trouble with unwanted pregnancies
-
Catherine
Zeta-Jones = double-pressure in hostile bhava-5 = bipolar
condition; left school at
14 to pursue dance-movement; notorious trouble with a felonious
step-son
-
Virginia
Woolf = literary genius who pushed herself into production while
battling bipolar disease
-
Ronald Reagan =
double-pressure in hostile bhava-5 = long-life with Alzheimer's brain
disease
The karma of Shani in a hostile rashi of Mangala is that precisely those
invasions and intrusions of brute physical
reality that one resists will surround and dominate one's
daily life. Thus there are generally more children (new life) than one
wants or can handle, often step-children into the mix, pregnancies (new
life) earlier than wanted or in difficult social-material circumstances.
Stand-off
In the end, because the powers of Shani vs Mangala are equally matched in
this placement, the resistance is largely futile.
A "stand-off" is called as the native recognizes that most of one's life-force energy is being consumed in
the battle between the irresistible force and the
immovable object.
Shani's goal of species-survival will be met, although
many dangers and obstacles do indeed obstruct the
life-path.

Under attack
Shani wants law and order. Shani wants cool and dry
routine. Shani is systematic. He craves a lawful, bureaucratic government
structure, maintained by experienced elders. Shani needs hierarchy, normality, predictability, discipline, age, conformity,
regularity, and austerity. He is cold, dry, brittle, and hard. In Mesha, Shani feels
constantly under attack. Mesha is the home of Shani's
enemy: the young, hot,
bloody, aggressive Mangala. In this hostile environment,
Shani feels constant anxiety.
Shani in Mesha lives in a state of fear, trepidation, and ongoing threat
to His weakened and debilitated systems. He feels rather desperate and is
looking for reinforcements. He worries about another attack. Psychologically, the neechchamsha Shani endures a lifetime
pattern of chronic attacks upon the material, social, mental, and
emotional structure of life. Conditions in the bhava of Shani are explicitly hostile
and disorderly. Each attempt to impose a principled, predictable routine
in this bhava produces more frustration. Neechchamsha Shani produces a steady underlying expectation of
system-failure. Shani says: the day is coming
when the structure will collapse under assault. There is much pessimism,
nay-saying, and erosion in the rule of law. The failure of lawful order
often results in conditions of anarchy and
crime, esp murder. Social conformity expectations in this bhava are constantly challenged by
misbehaving individuals. The agents of attack = aggressive males, sexual
competition, the human urge to fight, the urge to dominate, and the
blood-thirsty instinct to wage war. These individuals produce a steady
state of unconformity and misbehavior in matters of the afflicted bhava,
so that the native feels embarrassed and
unsafe. Examples:
-
John Winston Lennon
= Shani-2 = family history = father abandoned the
family (2) then mother suffered mental illness and left him with
relatives. Learning disabilities, school truancy, poor eyesight (2)
and regular outbursts of frustrated, sexualized (Mangala) anger.
Murdered.
-
Catherine
Zeta-Jones = bhava-5 = eldest child. Her eldest, a
step-son, convicted of criminal (anti-Shani) activity. The child's,
chronic disregard for law produces anxiety and embarrassment for her.
Brain disorder.
-
Mother
Teresa of Kolkata
= bhava-6 = servants and animals. 6 = pollution,
poverty, chronic disease. Here applies the dictum: a bad planet in
a bad house gives good results. At the maximum point of no-trust,
no-contract (6) in a state of social-law collapse,
Mother Teresa undertakes a life of service to those who live and die
like animals. Though sainted in her death-work for others, her
journals reveal self-doubt and conditions of emotional misery.

-
A tremendous worker, one is very active - often,
hyperactive - due to neechcha Shani having so little
permission to rest.
-
Illnesses of blood and brain, due to
lack of rest.
-
One feels chronically that there simply is not enough time
(Shani) to do things in an orderly way; but in any case
something must be done; and that with haste.
-
There is a great fury to accomplish long-term plans
within a highly compressed time frame. It is a super-human
drive to accomplish more in less time, which can overflow
into an Atlas Complex --feeling that the whole world rests
upon one's bony shoulders.
-
Tendency to rush into commitments and responsibilities
without adequate assessment of the time and resources
required. Shani's usual caution and restraint is almost
completely lacking.
-
The work life begins in adolescence and retirement comes
very late if at all.
-
Catherine
Zeta-Jones started her entertainment career far from home at age
15;
-
Ronald Reagan
began his sports announcer career while a college
student and worked well into his 80's before succumbing
to brain disease (Chandra + Rahu + Shani).
-
Mother
Teresa joined her convent at 17, and worked until the week
of her death.
-
Neither does one age gracefully; the Golden Years are often
cursed by ailments of blood, muscles, and brain (Mangala).
-
Ronald Reagan
suffered Alzheimer's Disease for the last decade of his
life, alienating him from the loved ones who cared for him.
-
Franklin D. Roosevelt
suffered a terribly painful and debilitating muscle
paralysis.
-
Virginia
Woolf = wrote day and night for years. She finally annihilated her
entire physical body (Mesha) in response to a brain disorder
(bipolar condition). CZ-Jones
similar BP condition.
-
Time does not work to the native 's advantage. There is
little opportunity to practice, repeat, or constrain the
great rush of Mangala's energetic onrush into the next
major challenge.

One may wish to lengthen the days and bargain for more
time, but time is the one thing not provided in a life
which may otherwise be greatly satisfying.

Mature, slow, conservative, and fearful Shani is trapped in
the hostile environment of adolescent, fast, innovative,
competitive Mangala.
-
Things that benefit from drawing out, extending, reducing,
constraining, and limiting are fraught with difficulty.
Shani is debilitated in the rashi of His
enemy Mangala. Unless
rescued by neechcha bhanga or parivartamsha
yoga or stabilized in a kendra location, Shani will give poor results
in Mesha.
Shani's systematic
regulation of society via fixed ranks and rigid hierarchies is significantly compromised in the rashi of blood-instinct
Mangala. The primitive
environment favored by impatient Mars the Hunter affords lawful
Shani very little respect. the native feels perpetually
over-ruled by those stronger and faster; and chronically
lacking basic respect. The psychological oppression
Over-identification with "me first" ethnicity ,
believing that "blood superiority" entitles leadership (it does not).
War for ethnic dominance. social class
privilege, personal traits, individual achievements at the expense of
public welfare. the native endures a bitter struggle to achieve dominance
through true
humility, often being humiliated in the process. (See Ronald
Reagan, an icon of the modern culture of personal entitlement.)
Displaced competitive
instincts,transferred from the natural, individual
realm of hunting and athletic sport (Mangala) into large-scale group social and economic
order. Prefers a "system" of winner-take-all. Debility of this position is mainly attributable to the native 's instinct to fight for social reconition rther than to
earn it. the native is easily frustrated by conventional
methods and established order, and one will be in a position to
"buck the system" rather regularly. For example,
Oppressed by stronger
personalities; tends to hide behind the power of the moment. Suffers
from racial bigotry and selfishness, blaming others for his situation,
and other displays of blocked self-determination.
Shani oppresses the conditions of Birth or Identity, so that
one is denied the privileges and opportunities of First Rank.
One may enact the karmic struggle via second-class roles:
-
become the
second (or subsequent) spouse who
struggles to gain priority [ Catherine
Zeta-Jones; also born "Welsh" which means 'slave']
-
be born into
a second-class ethnicity [ Mother
Teresa = Roma, a 2nd-class Gypsy; also in India, a rank-less foreigner
with no caste ID]
-
be born into
a second-class gender [ Virginia
Woolf = struggle for equality with her brothers/11 and much
punishment from them; leader in slow, resisted efforts
toward women's equality]
-
have a
second-class status [ Franklin D. Roosevelt].
During his first marriage to Eleanor, FDR fell profoundly
in love with Lucy Rutherford. FDR wanted to divorce Eleanor
and marry Lucy. However as a Catholic, Lucy could not marry
a divorcee.
In His own signs and in Thula, Shani enjoys a
neutral acceptance of the rule of Law in the physical and social worlds.
Shani trusts in the Law and calmly supports its application to all
situations of Life. Shani does not waste energy in His own or friendly
signs. Indeed, Shanaicharya is the very paragon of austerity and
skillful conservation of resources.
In Vrischika and Mesha, Shani is constantly
under threat of the breakdown of the rule of Law. Dangers of self-initiated blood killing and war (Mesha) or other-initiated
eruptions of shocking, sudden movement (Vrischika) terrify Shani, putting Himon the defensive for a
lifetime. the native hides in a psychic barricade,quaking in terror of The next attack.
For Vrischika lagna, in
bhava-6 , + Surya:
It is important to be extremely honest
and realistic about one's social position and career, at all times -
due to the oppression of Shani upon Surya. There may be some serious ego
struggles as the native attempts to claim talent or public leadership
which exceed one's abilities or social permissions. However once
complete honesty and neutral realism is established, one may proceed to
deal with even the harshest human immorality or illness in the most
practical way.

The struggle to achieve Luxurious
Pleasures.
Shani enjoys being in His friend
Shukra's sign. This type of blockage is not too difficult and
will not interfere too much with progress of life, unless Shani + uchcha
Chandra.
Conservative, and favors simple designs. Generally
prefers the traditional
way of doing things. Wants to return the world
to a simpler (and more difficult) time. Resists modernism, feels that
modernism has low value. Indulges the senses in the lush products of
field and forest (Vrishabha) yet insists on getting this sensual pleasure
in the old way - for example, pressing one's own grapes for wine, or
harvesting one's own wheat for fresh-made bread. Since the old way is nearly always the hard way,
will apply much effort and discipline toward
learning
old crafts and collecting historic objects which have been
composed through the ancient methods. May be a teacher of traditional
crafts such as simple original cooking, weaving, and agricultural
skills. the native works hard and steadily accrues wealth. Manages cattle, forests,
and agricultural assets. Needs to tame and control the natural groves
and meadows. Frustrations stem from limits imposed on his
property acquisitions. Wants to own landed property but often limited to
managing it. If he owns it, responsibilities become burdensome.
Displaced pleasure sensations due to death
or rejection of his family's values lineage. Distrusts indulgences. Must
conquer nature through discipline of sensual denial. Limited permission
to use the five senses for pleasurable purposes.
-
Substitutes
nose-to-the-grindstone work for nose-in-the-wine-bouquet pleasure. Many
collections and accumulations, yet little pleasure from them.
-
Favors
collections of historical objects , family antiques, and books in old
languages.
-
Feels that one has very limited time available to enjoy the beauty around him. Is separated from
historic values of his people. Limited access to natural wealth of
artistic beauty, sensual pleasure, fine food and wine, exquisite
textiles etc.
Yet one often finds pleasant working
conditions,
where one's stability and characteristic commitment to follow the golden mean is
appreciated. One does accumulate significant wealth albeit slowly.

Das commentary: |
-
"You have connections with
older things for
pleasure, such as antiques, ancient customs or cultures, older spouses, and so on.
-
Not easily contented because the desires are unattainable.
-
Because you feel restrictions arise mainly out of society's typical understanding of happy family life, you are
compassionate on others troubles, which you see all around you.
-
You try to restrain the presence of what you see as "typical happy home life" in yourself.
-
You try to make it more "true" and "more focused on higher
principles."

Struggle to achieve Communicative
Fluency
A sober thinker In the rashi of Budha, Shani can affect
the mental attitude. One may unconsciously adopt a
worst-case-scenario attitude toward the future. Assessments,
analyses, and classifications of behavior will tend to be
framed in a negative, bitter, or resentful vocabulary of
disappointment and despair. One tends to interpret the
youthful years as having been too much burdened with studies or
perhaps unfairly deprived of the opportunity for study. It is
difficult to have a happy and carefree experience of reality
when Shani occupies a Budha-ruled rashi since the native is so
busy with the heavy responsibility of maintaining order in the
mental process. It is however a favorable situation for
engineers and physicians who must maintain a mental view of
structures (Shani) and whose responsibilities (Shani) often
require explaining (Budha) physical situations in a basic,
physical, cause-and-effect fashion. If anything, the native will struggle with a need to curtail the mental process (Budha) in order to enforce a sober and pragmatic viewpoint nearly all
of the time. If Budha occupies a kendra in a
favorable rashi, the difficulties of excess sobriety and a
negative outlook can be easily corrected through an intentional
program of reality-inventory. the native should commit to a
spiritual practice of listing, mentally, for every negative
traits encountered (in a marriage, on the job, in the
community) also its matching positive trait. In this way the native can avoid the negativism which so often burdens the
Shani placement in mental Budha rashi. SEVA Shani and Budha have a neutral
relationship to each other, and this is good news for the
prospect of repairing and rejuvenating the mental attitude.
Budha is any rashi is an absorptive and flexible graha. The
negativities of the placement can be reversed at any time by
undertaking Seva with youth (Budha is the Kumara) especially in
the area of trong>exam preparation and other social
step-wise achievements. Sexual relationships and
Marriage The only truly significant and difficult
karma of Shani in Mithuna is deprivation of a satisfying sexual
(Mithuna) relationship within marriage. Shani-Mithuna in 5, 7,
10, or in the lagna is challenging and of these Shani in 7 is
the most acute. the native often has a rather
rudimentary sexual style
which lacks sophistication; one may resist (Shani)
learning new information (Mithuna) about the spouse's sexual
behavior and preferences. Thus the adaptations and adjustments
to the mutual partner narratives which are necessary for
pleasurable sexual communication are blocked by the native s own
rigidity and narrowness of expectation. Nevertheless the neutral relationship
between Shani and Budha does open the possibility of sexual
education and increasing proficiency of technique with maturity
(Shani).
-
If the native would be willing to
consider marriage counseling or to self-educate on the art
and science of sexual communication by using widely
available resources, the karma in place at the beginning of
life may be eradicated in the usual fashion for eliminating
karma. That is, trong>karma is resolved when the native takes responsibility for one's own role
in the situation and stops blaming others nor does one
blame 'fate'. Instead, education and forgiveness can work
to replace ignorance with wisdom. When the birth-ignorance
is replaced with wisdom the karmic cycle is completed.
Does not enjoy one's
secretive, complicated thoughts
and yet is
besieged by them. Wants to avoid conversation. Not a sophisticated
thinker. Prone to depression. Hears a negative internal dialogue
repeating the litany of problems and solutions. Needs a strict mental
routine in order to avoid collapse.
-
Shani being the
agent of effort and resistance, the native with Shani in
Mithuna the rashi of narrative, announcements, and publications
will face great and repeated difficulty in communications
tasks. One experiences the repeating challenge to participate
in multiple conversations, attend a demanding schedule of
meetings, deal with public relations, marketing and advertising
- all the mundane tasks in the world of business
administration.
-
One struggles to
use the simple communicative language that is required to
express the complexity of one's own ideas to an audience that
is lower (Shani) or less capable than oneself. Can be quite
taciturnmentally, churning
on a single ideainstead of allowing that idea to enter into
relational conversation with other ideas.
-
Yet Shani is
fairly comfortable in the rashi of His friend Budha; the native feels constrained and repressed by the mental
limitation s of those with whom one must relate, but
one does not reveal the exasperation rather one tries to
slow down and accommodate the less mentalized.
-
One dislikes talk therapy
or other materially impractical, unproductive uses of communicative
energy. Thoughts and talk must produce material form.
Does not like correspondence or any form of
writing that is not immediately practical. Does not like meetings, calendars, or selling things. Yet will
pursue these technologies As a duty,
if other character traits are grounded. May have characteristic trouble with
communications agents such as public relations managers, journalistic reporters, newspapers and media representations.
In Mithuna, Shani's sense of social duty and safety for survivalacquires Budha-like communicative
characteristics. the native tends to carry notable responsibility for social communications.
One takes a sober and
practical approach to a long roster of information delivery tasks in
this lifetime. Teamwork is difficult and team-mates may be intractable
or unsupportive. the native works very hard to communicatea
message to the public.
Shani's workload of message-delivery often
involves translation, interpretation, transliteration, advertising,
scheduling, and publication.
Much
trouble from sexual activity, which he oversimplifies and suppresses;
the sexual conversation does not flow easily. Fears the
discursiveness of
human relationships.Will
have numerous and highly complex liaisons throughout the lifetime, which
force the karmic learning process.
Gets stuck
in a single stage of the multi-stage sexual process. Transfers
sexual attraction-repulsion -communication energies into passive
viewing, rather than participating. Nervous and hesitant in the
elaborate dance of attraction. Tends to objectify love. Displaced natural sexualitydue to death or
rejection by partner. Trouble with the give-and-take of reciprocal
relationships. Generally happier in monastic life, at
least after one's family responsibilities are discharged.

The struggle to achieve Security.
Takes parental responsibilities very seriously, but
tends toward scarcity thinking. Over-accumulates and fortifies oneself,
like a scurrying crab trying to barricade itself against the ocean
waves. Survival instincts from past lives
overtake modern confidence. Emotionally and morally conservative.
Tends to be emotionally repressed, preferring to solve problems with emotional
denialrather than fearful honesty. Displaced emotions due to the mother's death or
rejection by the primary caretaker: transfers affections to another source of security such as a
religion, an ideology, or the national Homeland. Believes that life is hard and one must accept
the responsibility to protect kinder, kuche, kirke.

Dislike of politics
-
rigidity of dramatic expression

The struggle to achieve
socially responsible creativity.
Exceptionally difficult place for Shani, in sign
of His enemy Surya. Native
craves
recognition for individual
achievements, but whatever he/she can accomplish it isnever enough to
please the audience.Desperately needs admiration and
praise, yet tends to subvert the performance so that the applause never
comes. Example:
On a personal level thefather [Surya] withholds
approval.Parents demand a better, more prestigious
performance. Tends to be extremely ethical in public life, but
ethical boundaries may be unsustainable personally.
Displaced confidencedue to death or
rejection from father. Tends to transfer the confidence that one could not
place in his unavailable father, onto another ethical authority such as
religious teacher, court of law, or professional governing
body. Lots of inner
conflict between the obligation to serve the social law versus the
expression of individual creative intelligence.
the native may be oppressed by an archaic
ethno-caste system

-
You are often
prone to worry.

The struggle against Exploitation and Servitude.
Chronic arguments and "problematicity"
Intractable (Shani) problems (Kanya)
Similar to Shani-Mithuna, there is a
constant responsibility of problematizing and negative thinking when Shani occupies a rashi of
Budha, involving a blanket presumption that whatever the
'problem' is, it is likely to get worse. Furthermore, no matter
what evidence of positive change might be noticed by
others, the native will generally find the horizon of
opportunity for positive improvement to be extremely limited. Similar effects compared with Shani in
Ari Bhava. An excellent position for:
-
any professional dealing with
victims and 'victimology' (= the problematizing argumentation
of ego-attachment to suffering) (Paramahansa

Vivekananda)

One is obliged (Shani) to pursue chronic
(Shani) arguments (Kanya) and apparently irresolvable
conflicts (6) embedded into the very framework of society (Shani).
Karma of persistent and intractable (Shani) problems (Kanya) manifest in
the lower classes, amongst the ignorant and unhealthy, or in the company
of those committed to maintaining conflict .
In sum, one is charged to work continuously upon problems
regarding which there is chronic resistance to a solution.
Preference for defining a problem rather than envisioning a
solution.
On a personal level, one may complain
regularly (Shani) about marital, health or financial problems.
These difficulties are typically the result of one's own belief
in the fixed (Shani) nature of marital or physical disharmony,
and often also the result of a family pattern of resignation to
repeating dysfunction rather than acceptance of possibilities
for change. At the lower levels, one may be locked into a repeating set of
personal problems which enforce a continuous inner argument .
Personally prone to complex illnesses and financial troubles.
Higher levels include professional medical service and legal
service to the victims of broken contracts; here the argument
is just as detailed and the
problems just as chronic, but
one is fortunate to serve others rather than to suffer
personally.
On a social level, the service professional may feel burdened
by sobering, highly
organized knowledge about social problems especially poverty,
oppression, and disease. Lower consciousness is
to negative outcomes;
higher consciousness is neutral toward negative outcomes.
Concerned with chronic world ailments like war, famine,
epidemic disease, pollution and overpopulation.
-
Shani-Kanya is a helpful placement
for any type of responsible work with victims of imbalance, accident,
injury, and disagreement. For example: environmentalists,
pharmacists, hospital workers, police officers, divorce
attorneys, or shelter managers.
On a personal level, theemployees or
servants withhold approval.Much struggle in the
workplace due to absenteeism. The work of inferiors falls upon one's
shoulders. One feels beholden to the servants or the workers.
Often a
lower-level manager who becomes enslaved to the small details of
operating a shop or corporate department, or a farmer who has trouble
from livestock or unproductive farm-hands.
Digestive complaints due to
worrying about getting the work done on time. Displaced analysis due to trauma of extreme
conflict. The child of persecution and war, esp. war between the
parents. Fearful. Life is about having problems. Will not allow a problem to be
solved. Disliked and mistreated by problem-solvers such as physicians,
financiers, and police.
Shani in Kanya =chronic complaining. The Shani-Kanya person
cannot be satisfied. Criticism used as a method of social control. The
analytical mentality is trapped in Shani's negative materialism, and the native isbound to an endless cycle of
criticize-and-complain.
-
In the classic stubbornly repetitive ignorance of Shani, the native will complain bitterly of the many imperfections one observes. the native is a master of "what doesn't work". Beset by constant
reminders of imperfection, the native responds to an imperfect
environment (especially an imperfect partner) with multiple reminders of
broken promises and collapsed agreements.
-
the native feel a great
despair in the imperfect people and flawed designs of this world.
-
Ultimately Shani-Kanya causes separation and delay through constant
criticism which erodes the will of the parties to make corrective
efforts. The method of dissolution is constant complaining that the
partner is not perfectly upholding the contract.
-
ypical of Shani, the native has no idea that it is one's own inner imbalance which causes the
perfectionism which causes the collapse of most designs and
agreements!
Along with Shani's characteristic materialism,
Kanya is a challenging
position for happiness in intimate relationships. When Shani gains strength in kendra,
perfectionist (nothing is
valid unless it's perfect)
complaining and lack of confidence (self-doubt) may become pillars of the
personality. Shani-Kanya is particularly virulent in navamsha, where is
indicates a pattern of litigious argumentation
within core partnerships..
-
In either
1st navamsha (self) or 7th navamsha (partner) it can damage the prospect
for happiness in one's relationships. the native is often very
intelligent and observant, but one's analytical awareness is focused
entirely on the negative - particularly on perceived logical
inconsistencies or contractual errors of the partner.
Like all Shani-related matters, the effects of Shani-Kanya may
improve with maturity. Intentional self-correction may increases with
bitter experience, and certainly prospects will improve after the age of
60.
Shani in Kanya = enforced complaining and
fault-finding. A sour or irritable feeling due to poor intestinal
digestion, ultimately due to poor "mental digestion". Cranky
and chronic malcontent. In navamsha 1, native is a very difficult
marriage partner who picks at the spouse. In navamsha 7, same
irritability and fault-finding in the behavior of the spouse.
May prosper in all professions which require Argumentationand control of fine details. A careful bookkeeper capable of sustained
discipline in handling extensive financial detail.
Das says,
-
"During Saturn ruled periods especially, there will be a desire to delve more deeply into the unknown sciences of life's deeper essence.
-
At the same time, you may fall away from your past moral
position or social attachments in your own transit to a new
position."

The struggle to achieve
Social Equity.
The best possible location for Shani, who operates
in the rashi of Great Friend Shukra as an
architect of Social
Justice. Shani is good but
He is still Shani = success after lengthy procedure and
considerable delay.
Shani works
effectively toward superior levels of Balance. Extraordinary discipline
and broadly inclusive social perspective.
-
This
native works extremely hard and produces exceptionally beneficial
public results. High quality leadership in social justice.
-
Invariably a
hard workerand will be successful in their chosen field.
-
In particular, Shani-Thula is engaged professionally with material design - whether mechanical design, political design, artistic design,
or other structural development.
The only failure mode for wonderful uchcha
Shani occurs with themutual aspect from His bitter enemy uchcha Surya. Those born when Ravi enters Mesha whilst Shani
occupies Thula, are focused, ambitious workers.
Unfortunately, uchcha Ravi's aristocratic self-confidence is weakened by mutual
drishti with His law-and-order, plebian enemy Shani. This unhappy
angle can result in a narcissistic, passive-aggressive quest for personal glory
which limits the native 's power to achieve the public recognition he
seeks.
Another Surya-related disability for uchcha
Shani can be that one who is deeply committed to the philosophy and
practice of equitable
relations between have-and-have-notmay have poor operating
skills for using main vehicle of social
power re-distribution- which is Politics.
Example:
-
USA President 39
Jimmy
Carter = a truly great humanitarian who
was widely perceived as a weak or even incompetent US president.
-
Carter's political downfall occurred largely as a result of his
proclivity for placing social justice concerns above the day-to-day
business of political flattery.
Presuming auspicious drishti
and depending on the house location,
uchchamsha Shani can give huge wealth through large
corporations.
-
See Bill
Gates' philanthropy, where stunning wealth is is judiciously
re-invested into greater
social equity.
-
See Jimmy Carter or Ammachi
for stellar public-service leadership, "leveraging"
the wealth and power of large organizations to offset poverty and
corruption of the disenfranchised.
|
|
Das comments upon Shani in Thula: |
-
"Gain through travel
and foreign countries.
-
Gentle, soft, learned,
philanthropic, recognized by the community, much intellectual
exercises.
-
Broken home, attachment to prostitutes.
-
Good for doctors, lawyers and any other profession also."

The Battle
Shani-Vrischika operates from
the expectation that 'what can go wrong will go wrong'.
This placement of Shani tends to put most of the resistance energy (Shani) into the
battle against sudden, forced changes. One lives as it were
"under siege".
Low vitality
Life-force vitality starts out fairly low
due to most resources being deployed in battle. But reserves of available
life-force increase over time. Shani gives better results with age, and
the second half of life is always better with this placement. Eventually the native comes to understand the nature of the battle and this hard-won
understanding deploys one's energy in a more shrewd and effective manner.
Compensating Jyotisha factors can increase or decrease the vitality levels
at birth.
Gains of strength are expected when Shani = in kendra. Shani in Vrischika
will gain the power of Endurance when in parivartamsha
with Mangala in a rashi of Shani.
Additionally weakening of this disadvantageous placement may occur if
Shani is simultaneously fighting other battles, such as Shani in
hostile putra bhava or Shani + Rahu, which are both rather debilitating
situations for the Lord of Static Anti-Change.
Overall however it is a "slow start" placement
characterized by a fear of invasive, dominating personalities which
creates a psychology of resistance (Shani) to regenerative change
(Vrischika) in the context of constant (Shani) regenerative change!
Resistance is Futile = begin Yogic Consciousness
The karma of Shani in a hostile rashi of Mangala is that precisely those
invasions and intrusions that one resists will surround and
dominate one's reality.
-
In the end, because the powers of Shani vs Mangala are equally matched in
this placement, the resistance is largely futile. "You can run but you
cannot hide."
-
A "stand-off" is called as the native recognizes that most of one's life-force energy is being consumed in
the battle between the irresistible force and the
immovable object.
-
Shani's goal of species-survival
will be met, although
many dangers and obstacles do indeed obstruct the
life-path.
Better life in the Second Half
Shani in Vrischika is similar to Shani in randhra bhava = it
lengthens the lifeline somewhat.
-
Typically, the native abandons the struggle-against-psychic-invasion
immediately before being exhausted and annihilated
by the battle against blood-sucking, life-force
depleting, psychically (and sometimes physically)
predatory forces.
Available reserves of life-force energy actually
increase in the second half of the lifetime.
Yoga
This is ultimately a yogic placement.
the native breaks through to the
next level of consciousness, having gained a working appreciation of the
role of hidden (Vrischika) invasive (Vrischika) transformative and tantrik
forces in the operation of the universe.
the native learns
-
that eruptions
(Vrischika) of destructive evil are a fixed (Shani) part of the natural
system (Shani);
-
that entity-destruction is always and inevitably followed
by rebirth in a new form;
-
and that there is no need to be personally quite
so
intensely controlling of their environment, since one is indeed
surrounded by a higher-level protective shield that materialistic Shani
did not at first recognize.
Once in possession of this hard-won
consciousness, the native may evolve into a splendid tantriki, healer, and
guide.
Incomplete Understanding of Life-force Impulse
-
resists rebirth, rejuvenation, sudden movement,
revitalization, renovation, insurgency, upheaval
-
Obligation to Practice the Rules of
self-destruction and rebirth; creates kalachakra expertise
-
Repayment of the Consequences of revolutionary
or disruptive actions
-
regulation of emergencies, resistance to
invasion and penetration
-
negative effects of stiffening, seizing,
freezing, drying, gravity, weight, sloth, or aging upon the
sexual-reproductive organs
Chronic Transformation
-
Rigidity
(Shani) of
invasive control (Vrischika) behaviors
-
Legality (Shani) of transformative
(Vrischika) methods
-
The karma of
constricting institutional or societal resistance
(Shani) toward
invasive, penetrating occult
knowledge (Vrischika)
-
The karma
(Shani) of
emergencies, disasters, violent upheavals (Vrischika), and
obligation to heal.
-
The struggle to achieve
social validation for one's
pursuit of hidden (Vrischika)
treasures.
Karma of Sudden Shocks
Shani is fixed, formal, and materialistic.
Shani seeks to prevent change. When Shani sets a skeleton
or structure, He wants it to remain permanently. Any alterations should
remain entirely consistent with the principles of the existing structure.
Innovation is not allowed. However, Mangala is the great innovator and
challenger. Shani is unhappy and on the punitive defensive when He is born
in Vrischika. In Vrischika, cold, dry, brittle, and hard Shani is under attack by aggressive,
young, hot, bloody
enemy Mangala. In this hostile environment,
Shani feels constant anxiety of imminent
and uncontrollable change - particularly, the intensive
form-change of biological death. Yet, Shani has a special affinity for randhra bhava and for Vrischika.
Although Shani characteristically resists form-change, Shani is
nevertheless the constant-karakatwa
for the inevitability and finality of
death. Passive-aggressive The immovable object (Shani) has met the irresistible force (Kuja). The
result is typically a somewhat passive-aggressive
style of resistance with a long-term agenda (M Gandhi)
to try to control the uncontrollable, and to attempt to personally manage
powerful cyclical forces of sudden often catastrophic change. Psychic attack Shani-Mesha fears physical attack. Shani-Vrischika fears attack by invisible forces, such as psycho-emotional
or psychological attack (including brain-washing, self-doubt, and
insanity).
Unlike Shani in Mesha who lives in a state of reactive fear and trepidation, Shani
in Vrischika maintains a state of
irritated
frustration with uncontrollable changes and angry
resistance to penetration (Kuja) by the forces of
self-destruction and traumatic shock.
Psychologically, Vrischika Shani endures a lifetime
pattern of chronic intractability in matters of secret
(8th) workings of the life- force (Kuja). If Shani is well placed (e.g.,
yogakaraka) one may obtain substantial knowledge of the occluded
shadow-world to which the life-force retreats in preparation for its next
eruption.
However the native will never be lulled into a state of fascinated
trance, vulnerable to invasion (Kuja) either by healing forces or by evil
powers unknown. Shani-Vrischika is generally alert to the constant
potential for psychic attack. The
psychological barriers to penetration by unknown
agents - whether those agents are good or bad - are sturdy, thick and
strong.
One cannot accept the existence of shapeless, undefined energies or random
occurrences.
One asserts the presence of a principled, structured framework in all matters of the
mysterious occult. Death is accepted as a permanent feature of a fixed-pattern life
cycle. But the natural volatile terror of the "unknown"
in death, for Shani in Vrischika, must be ordered and regulated through
resistance to over-reactive emergency and constant psychological control.
Death cannot be interrupted but it can be prepared for in
a disciplined way (Shani) on a personal level. On a social level,
under the direction of Vrischika Shani , catastrophically destructive and
violent upheavals such as social revolutions are materialized, systematized, and contained.
-
Abraham Lincoln
= destruction of the southern economy, USA civil war, rebirth into
union
-
Mahatma
Gandhi - destruction of the colonial Raj, rebirth into Indian
independence
-
Queen Elizabeth II
- destruction of the British colonial Empire, rebirth into independent
nations
Secret-keeper obligations
There is little enchantment with mysterious secrets. Confidential information is felt
as a burden. Psychological secrets however fearful (Hitchcock) must be
made public (Shani) via some systematic method that strengthens the fabric
of social understanding. Naturally as the primary
agent of karma Shani will require the native to bear a heavier than
average quota of secrets, and thus the native is often called into
vocations like psychiatry, astrology, pastoral counseling, secret police, and political
advising. The family member indicated by Shani's bhava is often a highly secretive and
controlling person. Even in nativities which show liberation
from fear via parivartamsha correction (Queen Elizabeth II),
the death of this karaka-agent is often a catastrophic event which has
lifelong oppressive consequences for the native . As always, Shani does
better in upachaya bhava 3, 6, 10, and 11.
The struggle to manage trauma (Vrischika)
Vrischika = death-and-rebirth. Shani = karmic
obligation. In the present life, the native will feel forced (Shani) to
re-invent (Mangala) the social status (Shani). One fears the consequences of loss and re-birth. One resists
(Shani) the flow of energy (Mangala) required to move through
major life cycles including shock and emergency. Yet, one is obliged to endure a
series of shocks tied to the movements of Shani
and Mangala, including the difficult Shani-Mangala and
Mangala-Shani periods, as well as the period of lord of randhra
bhava. Despite the fear of sudden eruptions of violence, one may
respond violently in the attempt to fend off threats to one's
survival (Shani). Despite feeling intimidated by
those more aggressive than oneself, and reluctant to engage in
upheaval of the established order, one may be the object of
unlawful activities and indeed be required to break the law
oneself.
Life presents an endless, seemingly relentless, series of
shocks which require perpetual (Shani) self-re-birth. The
keynotes of Shani are subject to constant and occasionally
catastrophic upheaval.
-
Shani's portfolio which is most
affected by the requirement for chronic change and
re-definition includes: professional identity, social
status and social networks, reputation and public respect,
lawfulness and dignity,
hierarchical placement,
the sinews and the bones, matters of wood and stone
-
Shani in Vrischika = all matters of
social law and rank or position are vulnerable to upheaval,
and must be met with acceptance of the need for rebirth.
Vrischika modus operandi is
tantrik, intuitive, hypersensitive, restless
and alert. The shaman-hunter's musculature is poised for pursuit
of the quarry. The body is energized, senses on alert, searching for
movement. All awareness trained to detect the life-force of the prey.
-
The penetrating, incisivedrive of the
hunter, the miner, the psychiatrist, the archeologist, or the criminal
detective does not comfortably include Shani's fearful,
law-abiding, cautious,
bureaucraticcharacter. Shani feels overworked and exhausted in
Vrischika's "eternal emergency" state.
-
Scorpio is always scheming a
sudden
movement, and plunging deeper into unknown terrain. Shani is busy
holding ground, resisting that vital exploratory movement with His characteristic
"no permission" blockade.
-
As the
irresistible force
meets the immovable object, the result = paralysis,while Shani waits for the next devastating eruption of violent
movement from the subconscious.
Fearful
Shani
controls
the
threat of emergency
by being chronically
over-prepared."Emergency
Preparedness".
Dicey position. Repressed anger.Obligation to do Transformative work with scarce resources.
Kuja's tantrik drive to gain power by discovering the hidden
secrets of human motivation conflicts with Shani's mandate for
conformity, stability and rules. Displaced magical and psychic powersdue
to death of tantric guru or rejection by spirit guides.
Sexuality
-
Karma of
obligation to contain (Shani),
either overtly or covertly, the emergence (Vrischika) of male
sexual instinct(Vrischika = eruption, penetration) within the
established boundaries of conservative social law (Shani).
-
One is required
to make judgments upon the sexual behaviors of others.
Blocked
magical thinking; low trust in natural merging with the object of
desire; repressed drive toward healing transformations. Imposes a
painful sense of psychic separateness and abandonment regardless of
material support. Tends to stay stuck in their pain, choosing to work
rather than heal.
Can give good career results with parivartamsha yoga or kendra
location, although generally not well-liked in the work-place due to intense, driving, critical work style.Workaholic. Without a supporting yoga,
Shani in Kuja's shaman-hunter sign is moody and unpredictable. Follows
their intuition without regard to due process. Because of this
trait, best suited to independent and esoteric work.
Frustratedby attempts to do two mutually
exclusive things: achieve leadership recognition and risk following their intuition. Seeks a wide scope of power
but cramped by limited resources. Technical expert who wants opportunity
and promotions
yet dislikes conservative management. Feels cramped by mindless bureaucratic routine
yet Afraid to risklosing what power they have.
-
(Exceptionto the large-organization problem: if
Shani enjoys parivartana with uchcha Kuja, finds a well-paid niche with
servants.)
-
If Kuja is well-placed, the technical expertise
will succeed but this native will not be well-liked in management
roles. Will be considered unfair slave-driver, pushing too hard on
underlings.
Must learn to
accept their
resource limitations
and remain narrowly focused on a
single goal, accepting the sad truth that few persons in their environment are
sincerely interested in the deeper nature of the work at hand. Successful example (after a long struggle) is Mahatma
Gandhi.

Not a bad setup (unless Shani occupies
bhava-7,
which is extremely stressful for marriage).
This native is not too
cramped socially; usually friendly, inclusive, and easy going. The lowest-common-denominator
rules enforced by Shani's need for public order, meets Guru's inclusive, generous,
humanistic, showy religiosity. Dhanusha represents
compassion
and cosmic
understanding from true religion. Unless liberated
by parivartamsha or other yoga (Josemaria
Escriva), the native is blocked from deeper
religious understanding but he still can practice the rituals and espouse the doctrine. Shani
and Guru can share their terrain.
Can be
A good teacher in basic
subjects particularly in open-admission public schools or other
non-elite environments. Great sports
coach, local festival promoter, or village priest. Appreciated
for equable attitude in the workplace.
Likes the social security
of belonging to religious hierarchiesthat have long histories, colorful
and dramatic ritual performances, clear rules for membership, and humanistic
traditions. Displaced priesthood due to death of
religious lineage or rejection of one's inherited human culture.
Performs the rituals with only partial understanding due to blocked
access to deeper initiation. Not allowed to be an insider,
never fully licensed or ordained. Good for functionaries in large

The struggle to achieve Legitimacy.
Shani is good but
He is still Shani = success after lengthy procedure and
considerable delay. Solid position for Shani. Hard
worker with a
deep respect for the rule of law. Predictable and trustworthy
mainstream values. Conventional approach to social behavior choices. Promotes public decency and
respectful social manners.
-
Willing to
put in the
workto gain the social approval
which one wants.
-
Conservative and rather pedestrian in outlook, but utterly
dependable. Strong sense of duty and will perform any job required
of their position. Not inclined to be disruptive or even overly
creative. A reliable functionary in the craft of one's choice. One
intends to build a record of successfully completed projects.
-
Demonstrates
adherence to the rules and regulations which apply in one's
community or industry. Has an interest in government and
policy, usually motivated by an expectation that problems can
be managed if not resolved through better law enforcement.
Seeks approval through conformity with middle-class
expectations.
Conforms
to conventional fashions in costume and behavior. Wants security and social approval. Obtains this goal
through doing what they are told. Seeks a
materially comfortable
environment with minimal conflict and maximal protocol.
Well-liked in
business and government. Organized, sensible, productive, and steady. Contented bureaucrat; servant of the people; an
icon of reliable character, good manners and public decorum. The downside of swakshetra Shani is that the native tends to be quite capable of handling social responsibility and -
from a karmic sense of duty - is prone to accept too much of it.
The male will take his
responsibilities of Fatherhood quite seriously.
Physical stress zone :
bones, joints, cartilage
- particularly the knees.
If Shani occupiesShani-6 in Makara rashi,
-
Harsha
Yoga applies. Excellent for success in government sponsored or
controlled medicine, law practice with medical specialty (e.g.,
malpractice). Helps one to succeed in import-export business (esp.
buying or selling to government) and work in foreign lands, service work
in temples as liaison to government, local official, or program manager.

The struggle to achieve Connectivity.
Shani does some of His best work in His mulatrikona
rashi of Kumbha. Reformist
conceptual thinkers with broad social viewpoint. One works well in
scientific
and economic environments. Social activist. Can be a revolutionary change agentbecause they have a certain "x-ray
vision" that sees the "nervous
system" structure of human organizational psychology.
Conceptual vision points to openings where a
social policy changeis ready to be made. Very capable
networker. in swakshetra, Shani keeps one's economic good sense intact; one is
well-connected to sober and responsible folk who conduct themselves in a
lawful manner within the marketplace of goods and ideas. Earnings
regulated by law; gainful in a slow and steady fashion. Functions well
as a bureaucrat; patient tolerance for the plebian policies large
organizations such as corporations and government settings. Can be effective social change
activists within almost any ideological framework, from very
conservative to very liberal and everything in between. Having
chosen one's values early in life, these native tend to be ideologues,
rigidly loyal to principle, at the expense of adaptation and flexibility.
Stress zone: the
skin.
He particularly favors the promulgation
of conceptual systems into social systems; therefore when
placed within one of the educator bhava (3,4,5,9) or when
accompanied by effective announcer-graha (Budha+ L-3) Shani can
be a tremendously effective philosophical-scientific educator.
Shani in swakshetra Kumbha
favors a structured, networked,r rule-driven
view of the universe. Shanaicharya's orientation in Kumbha is
conceptual-system rather than social-system (Makara) but elaborate
social philosophical systems are well within Shani-Kumbha's purview. Shani is even stronger in Kumbha than in
Makara. At the human-body level, Kumbha's portion of the
mula-dhara chakra marks the transition point: where the subtle
pranic energy is on
its way up the
lunar side of the Kundalini channel. After having reached the
bottom terminus of the lunar side, in Makara rashi.
Occasionally they do a radical "swing" from
right to left, changing the values but retaining the rigidity!
Sharply focused and typically successful in implementing rational
schemes of all kinds at both the personal and public levels.
-
If Shani
occupies a leadership position, native will be highly structured and disciplined
in public service.
-
Can suffer a downside of swakshetra Shani similar to
Shani-Makara, if Shani dominates the radix. Can become
identified with social responsibility to the exclusion of all else.
Shani-6
in Kumbha rashi =
Harsha
Yoga.
Excellent placement for success in public health medicine, health
management organizations (HMO), large government medical systems.
Benefits from import-export business (esp. items of basic necessity) and
work in foreign lands, service work in temples as architect, engineer,
plant manager, groundskeeper, custodian.

The struggle to achieve Sanctuary.
-
resistance to ancestral
guidance
-
slowed recognition of the
signals delivered by guides along the spiritual pathways
-
resistance to psychic
intuition, visionary
imagination and prayer
Repressed
imagination, limited permission to follow the pathways toward higher levels of
consciousness. Blocked from peaceful meditations, despite strong
discipline.
Can be immature because the childhood maturation was
suppressed or even aborted.
Good for responsible public
service professions connected with children such as pediatric medicine or
childcare policy development.
Often want to
meditate but can't because of time management conflicts.
One doesn't
concentrate well.
One lacks full permission to operate the clairsentient
image-pattern-recognition intelligence of 12.
Stuck in bondage to belief that they shouldbe mystical and artistic,
but one struggles throughout life to achieve the inner peace and privacy
which one craves.
Can be bitter about one's (self-imposed) loss
of "creative opportunity". Generally pleasant folks just a bit disgruntled
and feeling deprived. Therapy to rejuvenate the inner child can be
very helpful.

"Interest in handicrafts, recognized by the relatives and friends, calm and quiet, reserved and secretive,
-
diplomatic, rich, religious, courteous, sane, fortitude, overcomes difficulties, hindrance and
disreputable.
-
Unfortunate links;
efforts
unproductive, mental suffering at times.
-
All these make you
practical, intuitive andoptimistic."
