In Kumbha rashi, Ravi suffers from a loss of center-stage egocentricity.

The personality occupies the center of a centerless weblike marketplace of voluntary associations = a distributed commonwealth.

• Surya-Kumbha is often called "immoral" since in the rashi of large-systems does not host much awareness of individual responsibility.

• Surya-Kumbha tends to apprehend reality through the lens of 'the environment' or 'the system' -- not of individual agency.

• excellent placement for computer networkers of every rank, from technical to conceptual

superb for one at the "center" of large electro-magnetic, economic, or conceptual systems

• General Electric Thomas Alva Edison

• Apple Computer Steve Jobs

• Gov Massachusetts, financier Mitt Romney

advantageous in the study and practice of positivistic science

natural social-progressive thinkers who seek to advance more opportunities for social-economic participation;

Surya-Kumbha may do much good for society yet may fail to uphold moral standards in the personal behavior

• USA Senator Teddy Kennedy

• dramatist, philanthropist Elizabeth Taylor

• Unification Church Rev Sun Myung Moon

Willful Suraja is too ego-centric in Kumbha the rashi of distribution within a Group. The social and economic distribution system suffers when Suraja occupies Kumbha. The native often resents the will of the majority and may act autocratically when group linkage is required.

Surya-Kumbha can however serve as the iconic image of a principled, populist social progressive movement

a friend to the common man; an enemy of kings:

• social philosopher leader Rudolf Steiner

• USA Pres-01 George Washington

• USA Pres-16, Abraham Lincoln

• USA-Sen 1962-2009 Edward "Teddy" Kennedy

Due to the extensive distributing not concentrating function of Kumbha, it is all about the people, the network, the movement. For Surya-Kumbha, too much attention cannot be focused upon self-glorifying personalities - else the movement will be weakened.

• Beatle George Harrison + Ketu missionary Vaishnavism

• USA Senator Edward "Teddy" Kennedy- American democratic populism, economic opportunity

"Arka" must adapt the ego-personality to the conditions of the collective marketplace economy. The personal genius (Ravi) = socially recognized only as a vehicle for the delivery of economically important behaviors to the community.

• The person is defined by the community; the community is not defined by the person.

• It is not allowed to force or charm the extensive, centerless, impersonal economy to adapt to one's claim to be a central or originating source of power.

Any attempt to centralize, glamorize or dramatize the economic behaviors i.e. to assert (as Surya does love to assert) that one = the charismatic center of power will generally be punished when Surya occupies lowest-common-denominator Kumbha.

• To avoid the accusations of immorality and disregard for common well being which sometimes accompany Surya-Kumbha placement, the native should avoid any claims along the lines of 'superior', 'noble', 'unique', 'brilliant' etc. which could suggest that one sees oneself as living above, below, or outside the law (Rahu).

• This native must juxtapose the ego's natural claim to recognition of special-ness with the reality of Kumbha = extensive tightly regulated distributive systems where egocentricity is dysfunctional.

One's natural genius seeks to be in the center of distributive systems, communities and networks, social progress movements.

Kumbha = the polar opposite of Ravi's regal splendor intelligence in moolatrikona Simha.

In Kumbha, Ravi's ego expression depends on the character of Surya's bitter enemy: survivalist, materialist Shani.

Self-determination and ability to radiate from a central position = minimized when Surya occupies the web of Kumbha, a network of regulated pulsations which has no center.

• The heart may feel bone-dry.

• Personal ego = desiccated in Kumbha's rarified dryness. (but brightly radiant in bhava-5).

The social ego is entirely defined by one's role in the marketplace of goods and ideas or by the social-scientific-economic-ideological community. No higher principles are known; one is defined by the network.

"Arka" may radiate Ravi-confidence in matters of the common people, and their weaknesses, very well.

• As Surya-Kumbha native Abraham Lincoln so famously said, "God must love the common people; He made so many of them."

Visible public behavior= psychologically driven by childhood memories of being ostracized (pushed out from the mainstream center) and praised for making gainful associations.

When Surya is strong, royalty delight in the presence of other royalty.

• Entertainers enjoy the performances of other entertainers.

• Literary genius personalities bask in the radiant light of others so gifted.

But when Surya is weak, no matter how gifted the native 's creative output might be, the person is unhappy socially, feeling ostracized, and seeking companionship with other similarly marginalized.

"Arka" = often able to get into "the zone" of contented interior nervous-system coordination when working on designs and tasks related to their marketplace role.

For example,

• Thomas Alva Edison was criticized by his teachers and marginalized by his schoolmates due to his inability to focus upon the central topic of study. History would reveal Edison to have been exceptionally "bright" in terms of scientific technical innovation - specifically his ability to connect technical devices to his 'network' of electrical power. However, Edison's biggest handicap was his inability to praise or study the creative intelligence of others, except insofar as he could exploit it for marketplace profit.

The error is not selfishness, but rather the reverse. One's attention naturally moves to the highly regulated structure of the network of interconnection among people, ideas, and things both living and inanimate. One has a great sense of progressive social movements, the marketplace of goods and ideas, and the material cosmos.

However, the consciousness may be almost completely devoid of the concepts of centrality, divinity, or uniqueness or genius. There follows an unfortunate tendency to denigrate the creative integrity of those around one.

Surya in Kumbha is often called "unethical" in the commentaries.

Arka may reject the concept of personal responsibility for negative social actions while ironically seeming willing to accept personal credit for same.

This is possible because one holds a self-view of having been assigned to "energize the system" and "empower connections" while at the same time the ego is very much reduced. Surya-Kumbha = humbly aware of having simply been "assigned" to be born in the right place at the right time, with the right eccentricities, to hold a somewhat arbitrarily powerful role.

Surya-Kumbha = anonymous systems orientation; may lack concern for the impact that one's actions may have upon the lives of specific people.

Rather, one sees a collective distributive associative system in which certain temporarily iconic individuals "speak out from the crowd"

Surya = ego identification with physical science esp. matters of electricity, networks, radiance, light, heat, centrality, soul. Wants to shine in fields of electrical engineering and computer science.

Also affiliated with and wants to shine in association with the intellectual cultures of social science such as organizational psychology, sociology, political science, economics.

The Surya-Kumbha Dilemma

• Not an easy position since Surya needs to shine, to perform, to be in the center of things, to be recognized and admired, but He is is severely oppressed within Kumbha = an infinite network that has no center.

• One wants to be the center of the party, a famous scientist, an iconic symbol of a socially progressive movement, or a great intellectual whose conceptual brilliance astounds the public.

• Unfortunately, the energy of the system consumes the energy of the ego and one is little recognized nor admired. Often simply eccentric and does not seem to fit in socially.

• In order to succeed and be personally contented with this disabled position of Surya, one must become conceptually and philosophically a true populist. If the native will accept that one's entitlement to recognition for exceptional performance (Surya) has been intentionally suppressed by the spirit in this lifetime, for higher purposes, life will be much easier.

• Even if the native receives recognition, it will be sporadic, disproportionate to the authentic nature of the achievement, and indeed the consequences of fame are often specifically burdensome.

A prominent a role in large progressive social movements

• Abraham Lincoln

• anti-war activist avant-garde artist Yoko Ono Lennon

The psychic stress of excessive public attention upon on the flesh-body shell can cause Arka to seek out numbing medications to relieve the overloaded circuits

• Rue McClanahan,

• Elizabeth Taylor

Even with good health practices, the stress of too much public attention upon a weakened Surya can make one quite sick

• George Harrison

• Steve Jobs

Surya-Kumbha = typically advised to decline opportunities for kingly type of commanding roles; taking in their stead roles of non-central, socially responsive ombudsman and signal-repeater: policy-making Teddy Kennedy, bureaucratic functionary, and teacher or facilitator within large movements Rudolf Steiner

Philosophically abstract, conceptual-networked Kumbha = a truly inhospitable rashi for Surya. Similar to the constraint as Surya-Makara above. Yet in Shani's stronger mulatrikona rashi, the solar channel for divinity into human-ness, ethically truthful, independent ego is abstracted into "just another member of the group".

Strengthens determination to achieve material gain.

Substitutes conceptual scientific experimentalism and strategic marketplace agenda for the authentic intelligent motivation to validate the good in everyone.

This error leads to dehumanization in relationships, and mutual distrust within the group. the native does not trust those in one's company, nor do they trust the native .

Often perceived as untrustworthy, due to lacking a moral foundation in life

Leads to dryness of the heart. Skin rash and nerve disorder.

Low willpower, low confidence and insecure social expression, can't handle conflict and wants to get along with everyone.

Compare to Enneagram 9.

Tends to be socially uncomfortable, edgy; perceived as disloyal or too scientific, too conceptual, too abstract. Despite talent and intelligence, the native is generally not well-liked.

the native 's sense of self is considerably swayed by marketplace forces. One is vulnerable to loss of personality through group cultand organizational pressures.

In the Jyotisha literature, Ravi-Kumbha is often called "degraded" or "depraved". This result occurs because the personal ethic is dominated by the will of the marketplace, or by the will of the Assembly.

Situational ethics similar to Surya/Makara but tends toward elaborate rationalizations and futuristic explanations rather than the simple expedient politics of Makara-Surya.

Having no clear personal grasp of right and wrong, the native is not inclined to challenge wrongdoers and fancies himself a man of peace. Will study many belief systems without personally subscribing to any of them.

If Budha = Kumbha = advanced conceptual intelligence for mathematics, electronics, and philosophical science. Charitable, humble and unpretentious, Surya-Kumbha identifies with the people, the masses, the plebiscite.

They identify with big numbers and big systems. Unfortunately, in their humility, all the depravity of the lowest classes seems sensible and excusable. Therefore, despite technical excellence, one may practice corrupt personal habits.

• Surya is weak in His enemy Shani's rashi of Kumbha, where Ravi becomes a renegade. Despite their own need for authority, these natives have low tolerance for broader social rules, and like to function independently within the big systems they are bound to.

• When Surya occupies the prestigious 10th, they are ego-identified with their Big System, yet also rule-breakers within their system. They are proud of their ability to evade the rules. They can get into moral and legal trouble as a result of their self-centered view that their personal value to the system is so high that they are exempt from system rules.

Father

Father or father-figure, who may be the grandfather or other dominant male = concerned with marketplace gain and large-group affiliation.

The father = dominant and emotionally detached, with a strategic, expedient, mentally conceptual orientation to both public and private life.

The Arka father may be an expositor of moral principle from a strictly theoretical "systems" viewpoint. Yet his own beliefs are pragmatic and his application of those beliefs is unerringly strategic, toward the realization of his material goals.

Lacking personal access to divine certainty, the father may substitute any internally coherent ideology which meets his logical requirements for philosophical connectivity. He will pick and choose principles for living based on their instrumental value for achieving his current objectives.

He cannot offer praise because he does not easily recognize the ego-validation entitlements of others.

In family life, this father is either silent or bitterly critical of the child's behaviors. He is not aware that his criticism is cuttingly destructive of the child's ego development, since his own sensitivity to personal ego was destroyed during his own childhood. Thus this father, without ever displaying explicitly immoral behaviors, may have evil effects upon the child.

The father's intelligence is focused on achieving material and status goals. This achievement may be instrumentally justified as being intended for the increased welfare of the family. But in truth the father's goal-achievement strategy is his own, and whatever benefits are gained have little value to him or anyone else.

He is something of a robot on course toward gainfulness as its own abstract purpose, with little personal connection to either the principles he may espouse or the people to whom he may espouse them.

This man was ostracized as a child, and will feel disconnected from humanity throughout life. Karaka for a short lifespan for the father, due to dry heart and nervous overwork. He passes along the cold-hearted view to his child, that marketplace driven expedient affiliations and their logically resulting material gainfulness are the superior social principles of life.

As always, if Shani is dignified, the negative implications are reversed, and the father may -- with time and maturity-- display superior moral character.

• partner of USA Pres-16 Abraham Lincoln Surya Kumbha (weak) = Mary Todd Lincoln. Mrs. Lincoln was from a small social class in the pioneer area that considered itself to be elite, but in the more established culture of Washington D.C. she was considered gauche and a bit of a hillbilly in her mannerisms.
• She was by accounts, mentally ill but physically strong, and observers commented that she would physically batter the president when she was having an episode.
• As frequently is the pattern for Surya-7 for a male, Mr. Lincoln preferred the social companionship of gentlemen. Whenever Mrs. Lincoln was not residing in the White House, he returned to sleeping with his male companion.
