Seeing the One, that Great Mirror, via Yogas from Sun and Moon

Radix and navamsha charts reveal the way in which one's subordinate trait patterns (navamsha) attract partners who manifest precisely those trait patterns but in a dominant, confident style (radix) -- and vice versa.

Areas of life where one is weak, has low permission, restricted access, or need help to balance oneself will attract partners (including the Ishtadevata) to help step-wise acquisition of balanced intelligence and capability.

A key feature in those patterns is the gender-associated behaviors of Sun and Moon.

Surya/Guru = father's expansive rational authority

Moon/Shani = mother's conservative intuitive control.

In conventional marriages, a woman's husband can be seen through planetary yogas formed by her Surya/Guru in both radix and navamsha, and a man's wife through planetary yogas formed by his Chandra/Shukra in both D-1 and D-9.

Yogas of Surya and Soma which also engage Shukra, navamsha lagna, Rahu-Ketu axes in either D-1 or D-9, or key players in marriage (such as the mahadasha pati of a long-running, marriage-related mahadasha) are especially potent for defining the characteristics of the spouse.

6/8 angle of Chandra-Surya:

For the woman,

deep frustration and anxiety rooted in disappointment toward her once-heroic father will emerge as she tries to care for (Chandra) her spouse. Periods of Surya bring men who re-enact the woman's internal, ever-repeating dialog of a hostile, unbalanced relationship with her father.

For the man,

deep frustration and anxiety rooted in disappointment toward his once-nurturing mother will emerge as he tries to inspire and enlighten (Surya) his spouse. Periods of Chandra bring women who re-enact the man's internal, ever-repeating dialog of a hostile, unbalanced relationship with his mother.

for both gender roles, a karmic cost of emotionally exploitive ego-belittling criticism can be up for payment during the present incarnation. Mother does not admire the father (Chandra six steps to Surya = animosity + accusations) and father does not understand the mother (Surya eight steps to Chandra = fear of unknown).

the native may observe a marital pattern of self-fulfilling prophecy (repeating the childhood pattern) of anticipated male failure or social embarrassment (6) combined with reactive female retreat into mysticism (8) with an ultimate subconscious expectation of catastrophic result (8).

This pattern is plagued by awkward (6/8) and indirect emotional non-confrontation. It breeds increasing frustration and distrust between male and female. Often the chronic imbalance goes on for years as in cultures where divorce is not permitted.

Should the 6/8 rashi of Surya-Chandra be ruled by Chandra-Shani or Surya-Shani (Karkata-Kumbha, Simha-Makara)

the challenge of admitting the dynamic and going into therapeutic discussion may be met with deeply embedded and change-resistant fear of publicity (8) and toxic distrust of resolution (6).

Should the 6/8 rashi of Surya-Chandra be ruled by Budha-Mangala (Mithuna-Vrischika, Kanya-Mesha)

the union may suffer from a habit of petty quarreling, ongoing mental perplexity, and constant re-formulating of the argument so as to launch another attack.

All of the difficulty can be relieved by achievement of conscious compassion toward one's parents - Surya Father and Chandra Mother - who were in this life chosen to enact the script of awkward disagreement and sudden, forced change. It may be helpful to resist a tendency to idealize the parents as godlike figures who can do not wrong (esp in cultures which deify the the parents).

Study the parental marriage with neutral compassion to note the behavioral patterns upon which one has subconsciously modeled one's own expectations for the male-female marriage dynamic.

It is inherited karma, and it can be released. All ignorance can be transformed, via study and acceptance, into wisdom.

May all beings venerate life as a state of deep spiritual intimacy.
