Even if other factors create risk (military career, extramarital affairs, financial speculation, political resistance) one will stay close to the customs of one's people (Chandra) in the behavioral style

Emotionally possessive and dislikes change of the established cyclical calendar. Needs a regular lunar cycle of ritual seasonal returns.

• super-sensitive reactivity to imagined slights and threats to the regular cyclical flow of "work-home-family".

These three nakshatra = Moon-ruled = deeply needy of constant emotional stability. They enjoy a regular cycle of emotional fluctuation but major upheavals may create a "personal tsunami" and they may react with urgent retreat into self-protection via declamation (Budha) that everything is fine.

Dealing directly with the problem is not instinctive; passive defense against the problem is more natural for these folk and they will summon the verbal-emotional resources for "defense of the homeland" when feels threatened.

They may feel the need of boundary "fencing" around the emotional core.

Mounting of peripheral defense can involve reinforcement of the "facade" similar to the face of a building.

These natives when under stress may exhibit psychological defensiveness which is out of proportion to the scope factual threat.

• as a result of putting up a defensive shield which they try to use as a 'decoy' to deflect predatory interests, these folk who are quite pure of heart can develop Ironically a reputation for falseness and pretense.

• The honest truth may seem like an inadequate defense to Hasta, who may erect a protective facade of perfect contentment (Chandra) in order to mask the human weaknessesof one's self or one's job skills.

Fear of being marginalized or devalued

Often restrained or abused in childhood, where emotional approval is provided only upon obedient performance of duty.

Throughout life, then, one craves order and routine with regular praise for performance.
