Unions 11:
Male-Male
Partnership
with Children
Hidden marriage
-
In both nativities: Shukra, karaka for marriage,
occupies bhava-8 in a rashi of Mangala. -
Shukra in 8 is one indication - although not in
itself proof - of a socially hidden or occult liaison. -
Hidden marriage characterized by direct, male
energy (Mangala).
These
professional-class, socially active men have enjoyed a 20-year union.
-
Since establishing their partnership, they have acquired
two adored children, built a happy secure home,
and developed strongly engaged managerialcareers. -
heir relationship is honest and mindful in spite of the normal
stress of a minority lifestyle and middle aged working life.
-
heir interpersonal skills are
growing and their
children are flourishing.
Conversational, Diverse Mithuna Moons,
-
hese
partners get along with a wide variety of people in their professional and family networks.Both
of them have active, supportive siblingswho contribute to the emotional
health of this partnership.
-
hey belong to a supportive minority parenting community, and each
is individually skillful in talking with their children and their own parents.
-
In their
forties, this couple has fixed their joint attention on realizing the American Dream: a
good life filled with friends and family; a comfortable retirement enjoying travel
and entertainment; college for their
children; and - the new factor these days - quality care for their aging parents.
Psycho-emotional matches
-
Are reasonably
broad and the two Radix Moons are well supported in the mutual awareness of each
partner. -
However with only 2 axes engaged, this couple tends to be heavily focused on their
home (Chandra) and therefore slightly isolated. This is a non-traditional
relationship (both partners = Shukra in 8) which receives support from fewer communities. -

Results of the cornerstone testfrom Light
on Relationships, show that this relationship has a good-to-excellent
compatibility prognosis.
Very
little Jyotisha research has been devoted to homosexual partnerships, which
represent at least 10% (probably more) of marital unions in North America. Sexuality in general has
received less attention in Jyotisha. Therefore I note a few preliminary
observations in the compatibility list.

Aries Lagna /Virgo
Lagna |
6/8 angle, unfavorable. Breeds secrecy
and animosity, conflict
between bodily tastes and instinctive behaviors. |
|
Gemini Moon
/Gemini Moon |
1/1
angle is exceptionally
auspicious.Whatever happens, these two souls will feelthe same about life. There is deep emotional affinity. Gemini is a
sexual communication sign, so emotional communication through sexual bonding
is emphasized in marriage where partners share Mithuna Chandra.
An egalitarian male-male union may have
unique psychic requirements for emotional caretaking between the
spouses. Gemini is the natural sign of house-3 representing
siblings. There may be special advantages to having the
nurturing Moons merge in this rashi of brotherly affection. |

Libra Sun /Aries Sun |
7/7
Angle
is exceptionally auspicious.Opposites attract, and opposed Suns keep the mysterious attraction going
throughout the duration of the relationship. The two public lives are
absolutely different, which means no need to compete - each person has a
guaranteed independent social and professional territory.
It may be the case that in a male-male union,
solar compatibility between the partners is more important than in a
female-male union. Typically in male-female partnership we look
for an ideal match of male Sun with female Moon. A female
partner has the option to not develop a public identity, but rather to
use her husband's public identity as her own. By contrast in a
male-male union, each male must have his own public, social territory
- and they must match. |
|
Scorpio Venus
/Aries Venus |
6/8
angle unfavorable.
Breeds secrecy and animosity in the aesthetic and sensual expression of
love. However the situation is definitely improved by the fact that
Partner-1's Venus occupies Partner-2's lagna, and that Mars rules both
Venus positions. This is especially auspicious in a male-male
partnership, where athletic, competitive, sportsmanship energy is so natural. |
Prognosis:
-
Same-rashi-Moondownside is that both parties will undergo the
emotionally stressful
sade-sathisimultaneously. -
As always, the core suffering of Anyone's
sade-saati comes from the relationship to the mother. As gay male
parents, this couple can expect to also get the stress of the fishbowl
experience as society criticizes their parenting. Because there
is no biological mother in their family, each male partner will need to call
forth the mother-within. That process will be most emotionally demanding.
However as with all conscious work in the cauldron of Sade-Sati, calling forth
the mother-within could be enormously strengthening and productive, stabilizing
their family for the next 29 years. -
In fact, Sade-Saati for partner-2 contained
Aseries of ideological and
emotional confrontationswith a judgmental, convention-bound mother(see
partner-2 Moon in
10th house of public dignity, in the
potentially two-faced or hypocritical sign of Mithuna.). -
Partner-1 developed his gentler caretaking traits while consciously forgiving
his aging, dependent mother for her many weaknesses. -
Both partners and their union were strengthened.
Kuja doshais
another consideration. Partner-2 has it in both rashi and navamsha;
partner-1 does not.
-
Luckily partner-2's lagnesha ( Budha)
occupies his 7th house - which makes
the native invest a great deal of his identity into his marriage. Budha
in yuvati bhava for partner-2 very much reduces the restless instability of kuja
dosha.
-
Partner-1's
yuvati bhava
is in poor condition, occupied by the fallen Ravi and L3-6 Budha while lord Shukra occupies the marriage-killing
8th house. This arrangement tends to
attract a dominating or materialistic spouse and makes marriage into a
servitude.
-
However, the same-Moon affinity compensates well for most of
these weaknesses, creating a deep bond of friendship which should sustain this
family into the future.
May all beings venerate life as a
state of deep spiritual intimacy.
