Multiple Sclerosis

this reading = in progress; retournez plus tard s'il vous plais

the classic personality profile for those who suffer the tragic illness of Multiple Sclerosis includes some highly positive, socially rewarded behavioral traits.

Typically the native is an independent, super-busy, perfectionist, multi-tasker.

If queried the native may easily confirm a core belief = the old American chestnut, "if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself". Thus the native tends to acquire indeed solicit a daunting task-list of activities and duties, each of which must be (according to the inner narrative) done perfectly.

As a class, these native are often colloquially mentioned as "control freaks" which is to say that they feel an urgent need to ensure a perfect outcome for any task associated with their name and reputation.

Physiologically, the disease is characterized by a loss of protective (Chandra) nerve (Budha) coverings, specifically "Demyelinization" = loss of the slippery, soothing, reflective, lubricated (Chandra) "Mylar" nerve sheath.

Criticism and the fear of it forms a common component of the disease psychology.

As the disease, which has both mental and physical qualities, proceeds to the advanced stages of suffering, the native endures increasing tightness of both body and mind. Movement of the foreshortened muscles becomes painfully awkward and the thoughts become more and more attuned to concerns of control, limitation of exposure, and defensive actions needed to reduce opportunities for outside criticism. As exterior freedom of movement is restricted, Simultaneously, interior criticism tends to grow.

There may be signature Jyotisha traits which match this psychological profile.

Mula lagna

Ketu-ruled Mula =

Ardra Chandra

needs high-risk emotional engagement with the wild forces of nature such as sexuality, hunger, primal instincts
Like the other nakshatra in Mithuna including Mrigashira and Punarvasu, the hand-crafting Arudha can develop a physically and psychologically manipulative behaviors labeled often as the classic work-and-family "control freak".

L-5+L-12 Mangala

= emotionally engaged disease-agent = L-6 from Chandra

Mangala has remarkable strength in Shad Bala.

Despite a crippling struggle with advancing conditions of multiple sclerosis, the native is vigorously athletic - hiking and boating - and sexually active = swakshetra Mangala auspicious in 5. Typical of Kuja-5, a child-free lifestyle was chosen.

the native 's professional responsibilities in managing a large network of work sites require considerable travel within her own city. She is constantly on the move, even with crutches and slowed sometimes by pain medications.

Socially, the native is active in a wide circle of diverse relationships (Guru + Chandra in Mithuna/7). In addition she maintains relationships with a wide variety of people across the social spectrum and across nationalities (nodes on 1-7 axis).

A career educator, her primary social identity comes through teaching survival work skills to the immigrant service class population (Rahu in lagna in the rashi of the Humanistic Philosophical Educator = Dhanavana).

Given that the L-6 from radix lagna is a benefic with an exalted Lord Shani and Shukra is yuti a kendra lord Budha, the radix L-6 is probably not the cause of the MS disease. Rather, the causative planetary agent is more likely = the L-6 from Chandra: a remarkably strong and vigorous Mesha-Kuja in bhava-5.

Even conventional medical thought recognizes a general psychological profile for MS victims: they tend to exhibit traits of being emotionally-driven and controlling, fitting the ID of 'compulsive over-achiever'.

In the present nativity, Kuja = that vigorously active engine which is driving the classic MS profile.

Mangala = both the physically dynamic L-5 And the psycho-intuitively dissolving L-12.L-5 is creative, innovative, and regal. However+ L-12 drains away the energy of the physical body.

Therefore the native is able to be very active both personally and professionally even while the advanced disease, driven from within by a subconscious (12) drive to "control hidden forces" (Vrischika) is vigorously eroding her life force through uncontrollable muscle contractions (Mangala). The contractions are uncontrollable because the motive for the spasms originates in the subconscious programming (12) and the native is not aware of it.

the native feels a great urgency to impose personal control over the details of her environment. Uchcha Shani dristhi upon Rahu in lagna. The lagna is blessed by drishti of Dhanau's lord Guru, which makes the native a warm and authentic teacher. However, the Moon-Ketu combination in Ardra signifies a lack of empathy underlying a very large network of consulting and advising relationships, as well as personal intimate partnerships.
