Bhava-1 - Appearances - Vrishabha = Taurus

• Lagnesha Shukra -sensual pleasure

• rules a natural Bhava- of neutral Kuja

L-1+L-6 Shukra

bhava-1 signifies personal competitionfor social validation through a winning combination of physical behaviors and traits.

The Vrishabha native seeks to develop the physical identity through association with precious natural resources, wealth and luxury , arts and music, fine foods and furnishings. Personally identified with history, accumulated financial and artistic values, exquisite oils and textiles, and traditional lore. One prefers an aesthetic approach to life.

• Vrishabha natives are generally artistic, beauty-loving folk who have a great love for animals and medicine (due to Shukra also lord of 6) along with a certain affiliation to servants and the working class (6).

Because Shukra = L-6 for health, Vrishabha natives fight a lifelong battle with sugars (possibly in the form of alcohol).

• The appearance is governed partially by Shukra, which favors a pastel-white-diamond-variegated complexion. Within the native 's gene pool, there is a notable tendency for the appearance to favor lighter pigmentation and attractively balanced (Shukra) features.

Vrishabha natives strive to maintain a competitively attractivepersonality and physical appearance.

They like material wealth and sensual pleasure.

• If Shukra occupies 2, 5, 9 or 11, these natives often bank considerable hoards of valued items.

Physical appearance depends on the condition of D-1/D-9 Shukra.

Mithuna = Gemini = Bhava- 2 - Values

Budha -Mercury:Mental Tasking rules a natural Bhava- of Shukra.

For Vrishabha lagna , presuming that Budha is fairly well disposed, periods of L-2+L-5 Budha generate considerable wealth through family-of-origin hoarded assets and knowledge-values, as well as via creative genius, including children, speculation, theatre, romance, and games.

L-2+L-5 Budha

Moral and aesthetic values (2) are flexible, adaptive to the present environment (Mithuna) .

• Likes to explore new ideas, depending on Budha's condition may also be an avid student of history.

Accumulated wealth from conversations, announcements, publications, speech-giving, sales, marketing, advertising, production and distribution of stories.

Budha = commerce. Vrishabha natives enjoy articulate communication and/or manual skills and they do well in commercial business enterprises which engage their chatty and dexterous capabilities.

Particularly Vrishabha (from radical lagna or from Chandra lagna) succeeds in ventures that engage manual skills to produce a valuable product such as sewing, painting, drawing, tool-crafts,

They tend to enjoy (2) a state of being busy with small manual-mental tasks. The Vrishabha native is often engaged in the arts of home improvement, gardening with small tools, working with drills and presses, drawing designs, writing short notes, painting, calligraphy, knitting, sewing, embroidery, etc.

Vrishabha is happiest when the hands are busy creating (5) an object of value (2) with the hands (Mithuna).

Chandra -Moon: the Whole Mind rules a natural Bhava- of Budha

L-11 Chandra

• bhava-3 rules "busy-ness" (business).

• Naturally, whichever bhava is ruled by Chandra the Lord of tides and flows will fluctuate.

• Under Chandra's lordship, the native 's approach to the repeating habits of daily life will fluctuate.

• The Vrishabha native is soothing and empathetic one moment, distracted and inaccessible the next.

• the native 's mental habits and manual craftiness will experience ebb and flow cycles throughout life.

• It is easier if the collaborative-communicative work team or corporate department is composed mainly of women; or those who have good feelings toward women.

Hands

• If Chandra is well-disposed, Vrishabha natives may enjoy extraordinary psycho-emotional intuition regarding the hands.

• Often the native is a gifted palm-reader, massage therapist, or hands-on healer such as a physician, cosmetician, hair-stylist, or dentist.

Mental health vacillates.

• Mind is overactive. Depending on Chandra and occupying graha in Bhava--3, thethinking process may be brilliant or berserk, tyrannical or tame.In general the native will face mental challenges related to difficulty with studies, inability to concentrate, and resistance to complex or profound subjects of thought.

• However the Vrishabha native can learn well through intuitive channels, and via any methods which involve cyclic repetition(Chandra) such as ritual chanting or dance.

Talking about Feelings

• Vrishabha lagna derives emotional satisfaction and a sense of belonging from the act of talking.

• May enter into debates and planning sessions with an emotionally charged motive.

• Often one feels a needto get emotional nurturing attention through repetitive argument; such a pattern does not seek to "win" the debate but rather to create emotional validationthrough cyclical repetition of familiar (if negative) feelings

Mother

• Vrishabha lagna natives are often born to motherswith an Actively mentalized lifestyle, particularly the "wearing many hats" mentality required in self-owned business.

• Mother might be a businesswoman involved in sales, marketing, advertising, all dimensions of commercial administration. Includes every variety of spoken and written communications, such as media producer, teacher-trainer, writer, publisher, or travel planner.

If Chandra and Budha= 6/8 angle or both graha are otherwise ill-disposed, there may be significant mental health concerns for the mother.

Simha = Leo = Bhava- 4

Surya -Sun:the Soul-Self rules a natural Bhava- of Chandra.

Home, family, security

• politician of security

• parents are prideful;

• native may suffer from "parenting ego"

• Whether male or female, this native takes the Father role at home.

• prefers a "showcase" home with the native in a central role

• can be bossy in the home

• the home should radiate the native 's personality and tastes in ego-expressive detail

L-4 Surya

• one's own sense of place is connected with celebrity personalities, in politics, arts, and entertainment

• ideally home = a brightly lit mountaintop, either socially or geographically

• needs a red-colored or brightly lit home property

The Vrishabha native is ego-identified with caretaking and sheltering activities, home and family

Depending on Surya's condition, may use the home as a base for political action, as a theatrical setting for development of Self.

If Surya supports it, can be an excellent teacher of folkways. More prone in practice to use the role of Parent or Grandparent as the major teaching vehicle.

One possesses a regal confidence in approach to matters of patriotic defense, property ownership and management, stewardship of the land, folkways culture and local customs, foundational schooling, licensing and examinations.

Centrality Entitlement Ego

The ideal parenting style = Chandra = compassionate, tolerant of growth cycles, nurturing, gentle.

• If Surya the brilliant and confident karaka of Truth should become compromised by unfortunate association, the native may develop a self-righteous (Ravi) style of parenting that is self-reflexive, intolerant, and politicized rather than compassionate.

• If such a disability develops, it may manifest in a home culture of exaggerated parental honor, in which the only acceptable behavior of children and family members is that which directs praise and applause upon the parenting native. Children's creativity may be stifled by an attention-hungry parent who wishes the public to see an Ideal Home.

Sample placements:

• Surya (fortunate) = much stability and pride in the home + vehicles, including cars, boats, and airplanes. the native is often happy in the role = "big fish in a small pond" a sort of local celebrity.

• Shani (unfortunate) the urge toward political engagement in one's local setting is soured by parochialism and defensive negativity. Narrow-minded and vulgar politics in the homeland.

Kanya = Virgo = Bhava- 5

Budha -Mercury: Mental Tasking rules a natural Bhava- of Surya.

Romance, Creativity, Children, Performance Art, Authorship, Genius

• theatre of logical argument, categorical organization of information

• performance art of servitude, exploitation, imbalance, grievance

L-2+L-5 Budha

Dynamic self-expression and divine intelligence find a wellspring of energy for medicine, police work, social work, and other human service ministries.

The Vrishabha native is a natural servant of humanity.

If Budha is strong, an extraordinary intelligence may leads to celebrity recognition for the genius of one's service to the working classes.

Loves children, especially sick children and ill geniuses, and ego-identifies deeply one's divine inspiration to serve them.

On the negative side, the Vrishabha native may seem to act like a petulant child due to a chronically self-centered (5) repetitive argumentation (Kanya) that one dramatizes in a sort of adolescent performance art. Vrishabha can tend to repeat a litany of chronic complaints in the workplace (Kanya); and to brush off one's own patterns of misappropriation, misrepresentation, and theft with regal disregard.

There is a tendency toward taking illicit privilege while maintaining a compelling internal argument whichjustifiesthe decision.

For Vrishabha lagna , presuming that Budha is fairly well disposed, periods of L-2+L-5 Budha generate considerable wealth through family-of-origin hoarded assets and knowledge-values, as well as via creative genius, including children, speculation, theatre, romance, and games.

Thula = Libra= Bhava- 6

Lagnesha Shukra rules a natural Bhava- of Budha.

L-1+L-6 Shukra

• Health can be compromised by indulgence. Loves socializing around food, alcohol, and in beautiful company. Always seeking a balanced resolution to conflict. Can enter where angels fear to tread, believing that he has the solution.

• Depending on condition of Shukra, one will tend to be well-liked and respected for sincerity if not for having workable solutions.

• The Vrishabha native gets into trouble during periods of the 6th lord just like everyone else, but one's natural desire to provide everyone with access to beauty and truth is the "get out of jail free" card.

• Unless Shukra is ill-disposed, one will through sweet words and sensual indulgence avoid serious conflict most of the time.

  ---

  Conflict-ridden Bhava--6 is often a good environment for the Vrishabha native, IF they choose to professionalize itwith medicine, teaching, or law careers.

• That is because Shani is a Yogakaraka for Vrishabha and Shukra-Shani are super-good friends.

• Many of the best physicians in "social justice" (Thula) settings like public health clinics and social work environments have the Vrishabha lagna with a strong Shani (work) -Shukra (wealth) combination.

Vrischika = Scorpio= Bhava- 7

Kuja rules a natural Bhava- of Shukra

L-7+L-12 Kuja

• Marriage is sexual and competitive, with a powerful fleshly sensuality. Unless Kuja is dignified, conflict emerges in the marriage. Vrishabha tends to marry the competitor, a professional equal, rather than seek traditional public-private compatibility. Wants mystery, control, and exploration in the marital scene.

• Contracts, agreements, legal discussions, all types of advising are vigorously, actively pursued from the basis of the native 's intent to gain control. Divorce is common due to anger, unless Kuja is tamed; but the partners may remain sexually involved even after divorce.

• Spouse is a healer: manipulative, secretive, ambitious, vigorous, insightful, and likes to win. Sexual and psychological intimacy is easy to achieve, but the struggle for control between the two partners may be monumental.

Vrischika = Scorpio= Bhava- 7 = Marriage

"If Aries, Scorpio be descending, or Mars' Navamsha be descending,

the woman will get a husband, angry but devoted to her."

~~ Bhrigu SutramCh. 2 4 Shloka 11

Bhava- 8 - Dhanusha = Sagittarius

Sudden, forced changes; catastrophic upheavals; Joint assets of marriage, secret matters,in-laws, therapeutics, healing, taboos, taxes, tantra

L-8+L-11 Guru

Bhava- 9 - Makara = Capricorn

Shani rules a natural Bhava- of neutral Guru.

Ceremonial Religion; the Temple; Priesthood; Guru; Professor; University; Wisdom; Father; Religious teachers and beliefs; Divine Law

L-9 + L-10 Shani

The inspiration and consolation of Religion is not easily accessible. Native tends toward a positivistic, materialistic worldview. Sees religious authority and priestly ritual with a skeptical, common-sense eye.

Although deprived of access to and respect for ancient spiritual traditions, the native can when Shani is exceptionally strong with nodal influence, set himself up as his own priest. Typically he seeks authority to transmit an structural materialistic viewpoint as a cure for religious excess.

Bhava- 10 - Kumbha = Aquarius

Yogakaraka Shani rules a natural Bhava- of Shani.

leadership responsibilities, orderly and hierarchical environments , public respect and regard from below

L-9 + L-10 Shani

• Hard working and respectful of the hierarchy in his chosen profession.

• Will follow the rules laid down by his predecessors for gaining the social credentials necessary to access high prestige. Then, works hard, and consistently, to achieve one's social goals.

• Although graha in and drishti to Bhava--10 make a critical difference in determining the outcome of career, Vrishabha lagna is advantageous.

• If the native also benefits from a Shani drishti to karma bhava, one will be admirably steady in one's work, and praised for one's disciplined determination.

Bhava- 10 - Kumbha [ = Professional Success depends on Shani

Bhava- 10 - Kumbha = Shani = possible delay in highest education

Often the Vrishabha native lacks the highest university (9) credential in their professional field but feels a conservative resistance to achieving that ultimate diploma which would give them full respect.

The resistance is generally based on one's perceived obligation to fulfill their present duties (Shani, Makara) so that there is no Time (Shani) for higher education.

• For example in medicine, the hard-working and medically capable native may hold the R.N. or P.A. credentials but resist obtaining their M.D., and remain negatively patronized (9) by M.D.'s with higher rank.

• An enlisted military man might never apply to officer school; regardless of his strategic and tactical planning capabilities he will be always need to work harder than others (Shani) to obtain respect.

• The clerical accountant who needs an M.B.A. to advance into corporate leadership might never find the time to earn a higher diploma, thus remaining under-recognized in her corporate hierarchy.

Bhava- 10 - Kumbha = Management roles

Vrischika enjoys managing transactions (3) that contain regulatory policies and bureaucratic information (Makara) and collaborating on teams with people who possess rank and social position (Makara, 3).

Of course, much depends upon the lord of the 10th navamsha as well as any graha occupying Bhava-10 or 10th-from-10th = Bhava-7.

Bhava- 11 - Meena = Pisces

Guru rules a natural Bhava- of Shani.

bridge between the astral plane and the material plane. Dreams, imagination, bedroom, privacy, meditation, out-of-body experiences, beings without bodies, ancestors, intuition, feet

L-8+L-11 Guru

Guru confers a natural advantage for earnings and mobility in the marketplace. The elder sibling is generally helpful, and mentors appear along the path to help the native expand his circle of associations.

If Brihaspati is auspiciously placed, income is generous and many pleasant, optimistic friends support the native 's life endeavors.

Seeks the company of (11) dreamers (Meena), meditators, psychic intuitives, those associated with ashrams and retreat centers, the lost and wandering; those who serve in hospitals, prisons, or camps; reflexologists or those who work with the feet.

If a meditation Sangha is available, and Guru is reasonably well disposed, the Vrishabha native will certainly join it. Vrishabha also befriends the lost, the sleepy, foreigners, and those who communicate with the ancestors.

Bhava- 12 - Mesha = Aries

Kuja rules a natural Bhava- of friendly Guru.

birth, blood, fleshly appearance, competition, the hunt, hero, athlete, innovation, internal combustion engines, fire, the hot and the new

L-7+L-12 Kuja

The meditation and inner sanctuary Bhava- is disrupted by Kuja's vigorous physical energy.

Unless Kuja is dignified, performance of sitting meditation in this athletically active rashi may be out of the question. Energized discussions on cosmic matters and many forms of hunting, including hunting of spirits and insights, are favored under Vrishabha lagna.

Enemies of the marriage, always indicated by the L-12 and graha within vyaya bhava, tend to be masculine or competitive, sporting personalities with a strong entitlement toward sexual pursuit.

Beneficial for active work in sanctuary spaces such as think-tanks, hospitals, ashrams, private elite conferences, other activities shrouded from public view.

Propensity toward extramarital engagement, but as always this depends on Kuja's role and any graha inhabiting or sending drishti to Bhava--12, as well as Kuja's disposition in D-9.
