Under emotional stress in relationships, the native with navamsha Chandra in Bharani can experience deep anxiety reactions manifested as compulsive self-emburdening and taking on more and more work duties.

In stressful environments, the native needs to acquire ballast weight. When faced with professional, moral, financial, or emotional responsibilities that total up to more than one can handle, this native tends to Overextend their responsibilities even further.

Catastrophic breakage can result

(See former presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards, who responded to the severe family stress of his wife's terminal but lingering cancer by taking on another intimate relationship and fathering an illicit child. This is Nakshatra Bharani Moon in action. He was emotionally stressed to the limit and so instinctively took on more, to the point of devastating career-and-family collapse. )

The partner is highly and perhaps excessively responsible, with a tendency to try to carry more than their bodies or spirits can reasonably bear.

Even when things are going well, the partner puts work and public responsibility ahead of personal pleasure or family well-being. Ironically, the partner, who was chosen by the native for qualities of work ethic and dedication to material stability, may become emotionally unavailable to the native due to their deep commitment to outside work.

Partner needs mental and physical space to do their work, plan the work of others, and worry about workplace matters. Partner is well-respected socially, but emotionally distracted by their own need to be praised for material accomplishments, social stability, and hard work.
