Surya-Shani = mutual enemies

1. Krittika Chandra vs. Pushya Chandra
2. Krittika Chandra vs. Anuradha Chandra
3. Krittika Chandra vs. Uttarabhadrapada Chandra
4. Uttaraphalguni Chandra vs. Pushya Chandra
5. Uttaraphalguni Chandra vs. Anuradha Chandra
6. Uttaraphalguni Chandra vs. Uttarabhadrapada Chandra
7. UttarazadhaChandra vs. Pushya Chandra
8. UttarazadhaChandra vs. Anuradha Chandra
9. UttarazadhaChandra vs. Uttarabhadrapada Chandra

Surya-Shani relationships = Adversarial

• Natives born in a Chandra Nakshatra of Surya will tend to have an intuitive personality response to emotional engagement that is flashy, brilliant, dominating, hot, authoritative, self-assertive, regal, entitled, and highly self-confident.
• Surya demands Attention and Applause.
• Natives born in a Chandra Nakshatra of Shani will tend to have an intuitive personality response to emotional engagement that is resistant to movement, restraining, conservative, self-protective, fearful of change, scientific, lawful, cold, and slow.
• Shani requires Conformity, Safety and Structure.

In a nutshell, the Surya-native, in the context of emotional relationships such as parenting, partnering, nurturing, healing, and soothing (Chandra) will tend to try to dominate with positive enthusiasm and self-righteous assertions.

If Surya is, overall, an empowered graha in the nativity, one with Krittika Chandra, Uttaraphalguni Chandra and UttarazadhaChandra will assert vigorously in the "alpha" style.

The Shani-native will consistently resiSaint The Shani native over time "digs in" to a safe position and may be unable to change. The Surya person gets more and more frustrated, has outbursts (solar flares),

If Shani is, overall, an empowered graha in the nativity, one with Pushya Chandra, Anuradha Chandra and Uttarabhadrapada Chandra will at first take the path of least resistance, but as Surya continues His campaign of self-righteous idealism, Shani will more and more staunchly enforce the Law.

Prognosis for a successful Shani-Surya partnership

The Surya-Shani relationship can work if and only if the partners assume fixed roles. The Surya partner has an emotional need for uniqueness and kingship, and that need will be asserted upon the Shani partner who needs to assume the role of the subservient peasantry or the vast undifferentiated working class.

There is some advantage when the Surya partner is male and the Shani partner is female.

Unless the Surya partner is highly conscious, Krittika Chandra, Uttaraphalguni Chandra or UttarazadhaChandra all tend toward solipsistic criticism of the perceived inglorious or ignorant traits of plebian Shani; therefore the native with Pushya Chandra, Anuradha Chandra or Uttara bhadrapada Chandra would need to have the tolerance or fortitude to withstand Surya's egoistic onslaughts.

Much depends on the condition of Surya and Shani within the two partner's overall nativities, and other factors such as the condition of the natal Moon will also very much influence the daily emotional give-and-take between partners. However the Moon's Nakshatra lord does establish a deep instinctive and reactive emotional framework of needs and expectations which is unlikely to change fundamentally over the course of a lifetime.
