Karako Bhavo Nashto

"the significator destroys the house"

Too Much of a Good Thing

goravani_karaka_table.gif

"Table of Houses" from Das Goravani, JS.3

If the karakatwa-graha of a major life experience should occupy the karakatwa-bhava which also signifies that major life experience,

  • then the matters of that bhava are damaged by overdevelopment.

Typically the normal patterns of the occupied house are quite overwhelmed by intense, dominating personality of the spouse, relative, or other agent whom is signified by the karaka planet.

By means of the excessive demands of the spouse, relative, or other agent of the bhava, the native experiences "too much spouse","too much guru", or "too much father" etc.

Despite potentially good external appearances, matters of the bhava are internally overblown or overextended, and the relationship becomes difficult to enjoy due to the extraordinary overconfidence or over-assertiveness of the karakatwa.

  • Caveat: one single factor like karako bhavo nashto does not a reading make.

  • drishti upon the bhava, and navamsha position of the karaka, are critically important also.

  • Favorable drishti can alleviate most symptoms of karako bhavo nashto.

Robert Svoboda and Hart deFouw, Light on Relationships, p. 251

"While destruction (nashto) suggests that the beings indicated are somehow rendered null and void, in practice, such placements suggest that the significations are in some way blemished.

  • Jupiter occupying the fifth bhava, for example, "blemishes" one's children (the individual may not have any, or may be troubled through or by them).

  • The Sun in ninth "blemishes" father,

  • Mars in third, younger siblings,

  • Jupiter in 11th, elder siblings.

  • ...Venus... damages marriage, regardless of what it may imply about the partner's position, wealth, or attributes. Even when the spouse remains "unblemished" (remains strong, healthy, athletic, rich) the marriage may not work (it may "die"). ...

...Karako bhavo nashto can be applied to the navamsha lagna as well. Venus in the navamsha lagna often creates a kind of equivalent to Venus in the birth chart's seventh bhava, with the important exception that a Venus [which] occupies its own rashi is in a good position for marriage."


Father - bhava-9 karaka graha = Surya and Guru Swakshetra Surya in 9 = karako bhavo nashto in terms of an arrogant, Authoritarian, or self-important father.

By contrast, fallen Ravi in Thula/ 9 also gives a blemish, but this is a father who dislikes himself and overdoes some form of sensual enjoyment to assuage his self-contempt.

In both cases there is "too much father".

In swakshetra, there is public dignity despite his arrogance. In neechcha, there is embarrassment over the father or disgrace.

Uchcha Surya in 9 might make the father a tremendous military general or some kind of hero, but their role in the child's life is excessively ego-focused.

Such a child wishes to emulate their father however and will normally adopt the father's trade.

Religion - bhava-9 karaka graha = Guru Uchcha/swakshetra Guru in dharma bhava = "too much priesthood" which manifests as ritualism.

the native becomes excessively identified with their ritual training and the powers this training confers upon them. Over-valuation or idolatry of spiritual guru and sacred lineage.

Can be "church-proud" and patronizing toward those who hold other beliefs.

Also Guru = karaka for expansion. In bhava-9, a strong Guru can indicate boasting or overconfidence. Such a person may believe that they possess knowledge or abilities which they don't in fact have or can't legitimate.

Spouse/partner - bhava-7: karaka graha= Shukra Similarly Shukra in 7 = "too much sugar"; marriage overwhelmed by excessive sensuality.

Sex-and-party marriages seen here; quickly exhausted by the "sugar-rush" and unhappily striving for new sensations.

Must buy more, experience more, flaunt more, indulge more.

The wife or husband may be too beautiful, too sensual, or too much gifted in the arts of relationship.

Supposedly Shukra will give Malavya Yogawhen uchcha/swakshetra in 7, but if there are unfavorable aspects, the dominance of sensual elements in marriage can erode the deeper values of marriage.

Vrishabha: marriage suffers from excessive focus on wealth, pleasure, and luxury.

  • The spouse is materialistic and the marriage devolves into sensual overload. Often great wealth, particularly when Shukra's angle to Guru is favorable. However the marriage partner (for a male) and the marriage itself, from a social perspective, is not amenable to finer feelings or even a high degree of literacy because of the animal materialism of Vrishabha Shukra at His absolute peak.
Thula: marriage suffers from too much concern with perfecting the social and material environment.
  • Only perfect people allowed. Great attention to quality of association. Focus on the interior and exterior design of the home, prestige of clothing and furnishings, and making a balanced presentation in all things.
  • The problem with the focus on staying in perfect balance is that a natural cycle of growth and change is prevented; the couple are "in it for show", and one if not both partners must eventually seek acceptance of their flaws and irregularities from an outside source.
Children, financial speculation, romance =- bhava-5

Examples:

  • Elizabeth I , queen of England (b. 1533) = political brilliance and much romantic energy, yet childless . Guru-Dhanushya-5 in 6th from Chandra.
  • Mary Baker Eddy founder of Christian Science Healing. Mrs. Eddy's literary gifts are legendary; yet her only child, a son, was taken from her early in life during a family dispute. Guru-Mesha-5 yuti neechcha Shani in 5.
Guru in bhava-5 "too much expansion " = a great deal of romance, or huge literary and artistic production, or massive political activity = overwhelms the natural re-productive instincts.

Typically there are few or no birth children when Guru occupies putra bhava. However there are exceptions created via other graha in 5. For example if Guru yuti lagnesha in 5 or Guru yuti Chandra in 5 = at least one child. But Guru + Surya - unless Surya is also lagnesha = likely no offspring.

Guru has the most effective child-blocker powers when Brihaspati occupies 5th from Chandra .

Often a wonderfully gifted, childless teacher, but this position is not so ideal for a parent.

Guru in bhava-5 really only succeeds when the native can "turn off" the expansive attitude at the end of the day.

In parenting, Guru/5 tends to pump continuous permissive-expansive energy into the children, and the children don't get the non-activity "downtime" or even the sleep they need.

By contrast, the fertile drishti of Guru upon bhava-5 is very beneficial for both parent and child.

Loss and sorrow - Shani in bhava-12

karaka graha = Shani


Examples:

  • So. African girls-school patron Oprah Winfrey = uuchchamsha. Was bitterly punished by ignorant (Shani) caretakers in an isolated farm setting.

  • Darfur activist George Clooney == swakshetra.

"too much deprivation"= a stunning weight of identity-loss and perhaps abuse by punitive authority figures in an isolated (Shani-12) setting.

May overwhelm the natural human capacity to move with nature and accept cycles of dissolution. The native may get stuck in bitter regret and have difficulty moving forward(Shani freeze) .

In favorable rashi such as uchcha or swakshetra, may suggest long, sustained campaigns of social-justice effort (Shani) in distant lands that in involve many setbacks and resistance from government agents.

Shani can resist the gentle movement of neutral acceptance, replacing it with fearful rigidity and depression.

Post-traumatic shock disorder may be seen from structurally overwhelming loss of identity (12) during Shani periods, with radix Shani in 12.

Work/public approval/profession - 10
  • karaka graha = Guru, Surya, Budha, Shani
  • karako bhavo nashto in bhava-10 " bossy"


Examples:

Surya-10

Budha-10

Shani-10

  • USA Pres-37 Richard Nixon. Famously resented the "white shoe" privileged monied classes; expressed chronic insecurity and isolation even at the height of power.
  • USA Sen/ Sec. of State Hillary Clinton ; altho well-qualified, long and bitter climb to highest authority roles
  • Mrs. Carla Bruni Sarkozy

Guru-10

Surya-10 gets dik bala in any rashi. While enjoying professional authority, one is also often perceived as an overwhelming ego force in the executive role. Martha Stewart ; George H. W. Bush-41

Swakshetra Surya in bhava-10 = too much confidence

Behari says, "You are able to attain a high social status, but your actions are self-centered and autocratic. Society is unhappy with you and you are not much respected."


Swakshetra Budha in bhava-10 = too much information

= bhadra yoga= the panch mahapurusha yogafor Budha = intellectual greatness.

Neutral chatty Budha = not harmful to career in quite the same way as the highly self-determined hot-bright swakshetra Surya can be, yet the native may be annoying to others and receive less favorable promotions as a result.


Swakshetra Shani in bhava-10 = too much class-conscious

Potentially bitter about the diligent effort required to climb the ladder of success. May resent the perceived social advantages of those from more privileged backgrounds, and feel isolated by their commoner status.


Swakshetra Guru in bhava-10 = too much philosophy

the least difficult but nevertheless "too much" placement = religio-philosophical Brihaspati in karma bhava, which substitutes expansive preaching when constrictive lawful governance is required. One is seen as likeable but not a good governor. The hard-working karmasthana wants pragmatic, sober, orderly, rule-bound adherence to structured principles. Broad-ranging discussions of philosophical possibility are perceived as blustery and off-point.

Swami Vivekananda, Carl Jung, Benjamin Franklin
