Mother dies prematurely

• UK-Queen Elizabeth I (b. 1533) = mother beheaded by King Henry VIII

• Jane Fonda = suicide in asylum, at Jane's age 12

• St. Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes = mother died cancer age 12

• Prince Philip Mountbatten = bipolar mother sent to asylum his age 9, no contact

• Larry Ellison = abandoned by mother

or a mother remains physically manifest but emotionally unavailable to the child. E.g., the mother may practice "emotional withholding" or nannies must substitute because a busy mother is distracted by her other duties.

• Maria O. Shriver
• UK-Queen Elizabeth II

the native may become a 'mega-mother' who over-holds, over-binds, over-anchors in reaction to her own deprivation as a child.

Radix Moon inAzlesa = "Serpent" = entangling, embracing, insinuating, coercive

(Budha-Chandra-Sarpa)

• "the leash"; snake-holding, guilt bondage

• natural affinity for psychological or physical binding, straps and ligatures, squeezing and containment, tight embrace, restraint of hands or arms; engineering via pins, nails, brace, winch, and vise; flow-control devices like levies, locks and dams; coercive politics; entanglement and guilt

• Azlesa-Chandra is typically found "thinking about feelings" and may be perceived as frequently "self-absorbed"

excellent placement for:

• behavioral psychologists (esp working with those bound by a fixation such as autism, addictions);

• structural engineering of bracing and containment;

• any work that involves strapping, binding, coercion, extortion, or manipulative control

Azlesa's difficulties have to do with the animosity between

• Budha the Nakshatra lord vs Chandra the rashi lord.

The Azlesa Chandra = nervous[Budha] about matters of security, and emotionally motivated to be "involved"in the intimate lives of others as a method of self-defense.

• Characteristically "over-involved" in the effort to secure the emotional well-being of others

• underlying motive is a self-feeling of insecurity and lack of protection

• the negative implications of Azlesa can be corrected by spiritual practice that re-instates the Missing Mother

  • St. Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes

Azlesa has a covertly manipulative style. Deeply engaged in emotional strategies designed to increase one's personal security (Rudi Giuliani) and well being.

Azlesa expresses their devotion to family through profound concern for the welfare of others.

• This concern is frequently expressed as manipulation and interference to the point of extortion.

• The nurturing touch and psychological engagement of the less conscious Azlesa native may develop into a subtle, entwining, choking embrace.

Budha = "inter". Azlesa likes to be intertwined with the center of nurturing energy [Chandra], regarding interpersonal, interfamilial, or international matters.

• These natives crave to be in every nook and cranny of the environment.

• Thus Azlesa's self-protective actions may be defensively sneaky or invasive.

• These invasive tendencies can make Azlesa quite a difficult parent or boss. In leadership roles, Azlesa develops extensive security operations

  • Chairman Mao Zedong,

  • Larry Ellison protection of proprietary software

  • UK-Queen Elizabeth II,

  • UK-PM Jawaharlal Nehru

  • UK-Prince Philip Mountbatten, Royal Navy

Tends to get tangled up in other people's (other corporations, other nation's ...) business. Instinct to manipulate both friend and foe.

Examples:

• Puts the "squeeze"on others (Lyndon B. Johnson), trying to meet their need for attention and binding control.

• During her Vimshottari Chandra-Chandra period in July 1972 during the height of the USA war against North Vietnam, American anti-war protester actress Jane Fonda formed an alliance with USA enemy leaders in Hanoi to try to manipulate USA popular opinion in favor of ending the war. Her bid to control the government (parent) by insinuating herself into the center of news-media attention was seen as maliciously coercive, and unfortunately that one incident made her enough enemies to last a lifetime.

  • Ms. Fonda's Azlesa Chandra in 7 (alliances) receives drishti of Rahu (taboo-breaking) and neechchamsha Guru (overconfidence).

• (The 'ten' in 'attention' = 'to hold', as in tenure, intense, intention, tenacious.)

Does not hear the psychic alarm which signals that it is time to pull out of another's decision process. Remains engaged for too long with a strong tendency ('ten') to interfere And manipulate.

• Needs to intervene in the loves of others.

• Slithering, entwininginstinct tells Azlesa to keep wrapping around their victim until that victim becomes paralyzed.

The Azlesa intends the squeezing embraceas a loving way to engage with the beloved and to ensure one's own security. Yet their friends, family, clients (and other victims) may experience Azlesa as a psychic vampire.

• One prefers to work in stealth,not announcing one's plansto imminently enter or re-enter an involvement.

Azlesais well-suited to therapeutic professional relationships where the helping agent is socially approved to become over-involvedwith clients, such as psychologist, social worker, counselor, divorce attorney, or diplomat. (Also snake-handling.)

• Brilliant in depth-work, such as therapeutic psychological healing that involves tight holding, or interpretive and exploratory work with Oceans(Cousteau). Cf. Granville

Specialists in "intervention", which is a sudden attack made possible after a long period of quietudeand building trust.

Unfortunately Azlesa can get embroiled in one's own convolutions. If the object of Azlesa's desires suddenly gains superior strength, Azlesa's psychically invasive behaviors can be aggressively punished..

Affinity for poisons and murder. Quite capable of criticizing others but Azlesa is unable to bear criticism or humiliation (reverse of Arudra) and will seek revengeif they feel threatened. (Budha-Chandra-Naga).

• Deep emotional need to embrace, involve and control

Hypnotic eyes. Extremely sexual and seductive, able to mesmerize their prey. Crafty, sneaky. Self-poisoning.

Best result = applied medicine, when Azlesa uses their genius for poisons in the service of healing.

Also can channel positive effects by defeating the public enemy hrough extremely skillful manipulation and deceit (espionage, disinformation) .

A central structural challenge to the healthy development of the emotional personality which faces the Azlesa birth is that one will be born into the period of Budha.

Budha as lord of the inauspicious 12th and 3rd from Chandra suggests that the mother (Chandra) is not fully available to the child emotionally during the critical early years.

Budha is an enemy of Chandra. As lord of 3rd-from Budha suggests emotional ungroundedness and distraction due to excessive mentalizing of the personality. Mother is often over-involved in messaging, conversations, writing-publishing projects while the child is young. Budha as lord of 12th-from Budha suggests withdrawal into a busy imaginative "head space" in which ideas, narrative, and mental traffic consume the life force energy which ideally should be directed toward nurturing the child.

This is the basis of Azlesa's reputation for manipulative wheedling and squeezing to try to get the soothing and holding reassurance that young children naturally need, and without which they feel permanently uncertain of their worth and socially insecure regardless of all external (Shani) achievements.

• Mother has a need for manual and mental communications which deliver validation via emotional security .

• She may place security above honesty in her quest to nurture others (Chandra).

• May be the needy mother or grandmother who demands that the children sit or sleep with her.

In AzlesaChandra within dharma bhava gives a need for patriarchal control via a manipulative and binding style of emotional inquiry. You feel that the father should be the guru within his own family. In your view, religion is an important bond between family members and essential glue which helps the culture to thrive. However, while family and religion are important, the self always comes first. Whatever your beliefs and whatever your ritual practice, these must be emotionally nourishing and help to strengthen your influence in relationships.

• Sarpa (Naga)

  ---

It is very difficult for Azlesa (the Naga-sarpa) to disentangle from negative situations.

It is quite counter-intuitive for this type to release their instinctive desire to wrap and control. The best example in public life is dear old Queen Elizabeth II, who tried to control all her children's marriages and is still apparently a manipulative force to be reckoned with!

The control force has to be re-focused, away from trying to control the healing process of the wounded surrounding one, and toward one's own healing. It's much more attractive for Azlesa to keep coiling around the others, than to look within. It's more comfortable and instinctive to cling and slither.

But... if Azlesa is going to get anywhere liberation-wise, the control-force needs to be redirected within, into the kundalini channels.

Childhood security was endangered by a distracted mother/caretaker. Often the mother had important public duties or perhaps was ill, making her physically or emotionally unavailable to the child.

• Azlesa learned to get caretaker attention by clinging.

• Subtle, hypnotic, movements allowed the child to wriggleinto the arms of the caretaker without resistance.

• hey learned to be sneaky and controllingin getting love.

• he reptile brain signals, "manipulation and clinging is the Only way I can get what I need."

In order to mirror one's own subconscious emotional patterns, one attracts a core partner who expresses Azlesa behavior.
