Rashi Lagna

Om Keshavaya Namah

12 Bhava from Mithuna lagna

According to the bhava-pati, Mithuna's most difficult houses =

• 4 childhood home and one's own parenting

• 5 speculative ventures and one's own children

• 6 distrust and animosity in relationships; physical health

• 7 terms of contract, trust

• 8 secret knowledge and self-rebirth

1. Neutral Budha rules a natural house = swabhava ofMangala. Budha imposes a culture of message transmission upon the physical-social identity.

2. Neutral Chandra rules a natural house = swabhava ofneutral Shukra. Chandra imposes a culture of homeland customs upon the treasuries of wealth and knowledge, and the second marriage.

3. Neutral Surya rules a natural house = swabhava ofBudha. Ravi imposes a culture of personal intelligence upon the narrative, explanatory mentality.

4. Conflict Budha rules a natural house = swabhava ofarch-enemy Chandra. Budha imposes a culture of logical criticism upon one's parenting and caretaking.

7. Conflict Philosophical Guru rules a natural house = swabhava of enemy Shukra. Guru imposes a culture of world-travel and wisdom-seeking upon the sensual, wealth-seeking behaviors of marriage (esp the first marriage).

8. Conflict Strict, stiff, anti-movement Shani rules a natural house = swabhava ofShani's enemy, direct-action Mangala. Shani imposes a culture of regulatory limitations and time delays upon the wheel of self-destruction and rebirth. "Re-inventing" oneself is not easy.

9. NeutralStrict Shani + Risk-loving Rogue Rahu rule a natural house = swabhava ofGuru . Shani imposes a culture of networked systems upon religious practice and world-traveling wisdom.

10. Neutral: Generous guiding Guru rules a natural house = swabhava ofShani. Guru imposes a culture of philosophical guidance upon the professional leadership roles.

11. Moderate Conflict:Moving Mangala rules a house of slow regulator Shani. Shanaicarya imposes a culture of lawfulness and social approval upon the social- economic gainfulness.

Bhava 1 , Mithuna Chandra and Mithuna navamsha

• Lagnesha Budha in uncomfortable in the natural house = swabhava ofBudha's enemy Kuja

physical body, flesh-based identity, material appearance = Mithuna

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

Lagnesha Budha vs birth-body Kuja = static analysis vs instinct to movement

Interactions of Budha and Kuja are often problematic in Jyotisha. Direct-action Kuja takes a great dislike to waffling, wordy lagnesha Budha. However, waffling, wordy Budha sees muscular, often rather primitive Kuja as simply a non-threatening neutral.

Budha is often able to outsmart Kuja's instinct to accomplish things swiftly but with little forethought. However, Kuja the Hunter feels that Budha's analytical, two-sides-to-everything cleverness = a devious threat to His quest for fierce and swift physical conquest.

Budha the logician of the Mentality vs Kuja the animator of the Body are often in conflict.

The life of a Mithuna lagna native is therefore often fraught with mental vs physical conflict.

Mithuna's tendency to self-identify with thinking, planning, and cogitating behaviors does conflict at a deep inner level with Kuja's muscular birthing instinct to "just do it".

• Kuja rules the maha-dushthamsha bhava-6 which suggests that this conflict manifests often for the Mithuna native in terms of disease and divorce (6)

While the location and characteristics of lagnesha Budha are of course essential to determine the success or otherwise of the Mithuna social personality, it can be said in general that Mithuna are notoriously conflicted procrastinators who occasionally burst forth into great surges of forward movement.

Exunt

The adversarial reality of having to accommodate a multi-talented Budha mentality within the single-focus animal body (Kuja) is often the source of deep frustration with life. Sexuality is emphasized but rarely satisfying. Mithuna in general -- especially in the Mars-ruled Mrigashira portion -- tries to escape the confines the physical body as soon as possible.

Sensual and sexual Mithuna is a highly cooperative and collaborative rashi.

The Mithuna native seeks to develop the physical personality identity through association with teams, corporate departments, siblings and cousins, and conversation partners.

• The social personality has an inherent affinity for publications, communications media, planning and scheduling, detail management, and all aspects of business administration.

Mithuna natives are generally logical, organized, and conversational folk who have a strong mental interest in caring for their vehicles, homes, lands, and country (particularly localeducationand environmental planning, due to Budha = L- 4). They strive to maintain a competitively mentalized personality and physical appearance.

• Physical appearance depends on the condition of D-1/D-9 Budha including rashi, bhava, companion graha, drishti, etc.

Mithuna-lagna folk will have a vata Or slightly stone-colored cast to their complexion, a very slightly opaque bone-colored patina, relative to their gene pool. (Moon's sign and characteristics also influence appearance.)

• Tendency to possess an intellectual countenance. Appears like a thinker: often with broad, high forehead and sensitive, capable hands[Albert Einstein , Virginia Woolf].

Mercury is a dry (barren) planets so these folks (depending on Budha's condition in the radix/navamsha of course) have a rather "dry" vibration which comes from their mental orientation

• Smart, alert, but somewhat superficial compared to other lagnas. Adolescent viewpoint lends a simplistic naïveté regarding the partner(s).

• Engages mentally, not emotionally in relationships. Mentalized sexuality; may need verbal argument to reconnect. May be extremely chatty if Budha or L-3 are empowered.

• Complexion will tend to be lighter, relative to their gene pool. They are also, as a group, argumentative by nature.

• Likes to compose and deliver scripted conversation, such as

  • a fixed sermon (Ram Dass, Elizabeth Clare Prophet)

  • or university lecture (Albert Einstein, John Forbes Nash) ,

  • prepared speeches (USA Pres. 26 Theodore Roosevelt, former CA gov Arnold Schwartzenegger )

  • quoted conversation in fiction (Virginia Woolf -- e.g., Mrs. Dalloway),

  • or a song (Carla Bruni Sarkozy)

  • or asong-and-dance film performance (Marilyn Monroe).

The specific condition of Budha in the radix and navamsha will determine the scope and success of these general traits.

The dignity of lagnesha Budha will determine one's overall life success.

Bhava-2 = 2nd from Mithuna navamsha = 2nd from Mithuna Chandra

• ChandraWhole Mind rules a natural house = swabhava of neutral Shukra.

• Chandra's governance is not impeded in the natural house = swabhava of neutral Shukra.

Values, food, family, stored food and wealth, languages, collections, acquisitive behaviors, banking = Karkata = nurturing

Wealth

• will inevitably fluctuate.

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

• the native 's relationship to the family history, and one's accumulation of food, coins, knowledge, and other values as well as the condition of the voice, eyes, and face, will ebb and flow throughout life.

Presuming Karkata-Chandra is in good condition, Mithuna lagna natives tend to possess traditional home-and-family values, speak softly, and share one's knowledge/values primarily within the small, trusted circle of family and family-like friends.

Mithuna lagna natives are often born to naturally hoarding, storing,wealth-accumulating mothers. the native is early sensitized to the mother's instinct for acquisition and development of material wealth, cultural knowledge, and historical values of one's people.

If Chandra is well-disposed, the native 's approach toward values acquisition is instinctive. It seems so natural (literally coming through the mother's milk!) that one may not have explicit consciousness of the savings behavior.

Values are deeply traditional , and one's family historylives near the water(river, ocean, pond or lake).

Mithuna natives have a natural acquisitiveness which manifests in caring affectionately for material goods, nesting in valuable homes, and a persistent emotional drive to lay in stores upon which to draw in the future. Material goods represent emotional security.

If Chandra is well-disposed, the Mithuna native is a superior accumulator. Not necessarily miserly -- but rather the intuitive need to save and store is a permanent part of the character, passed from the mother and onward to one's own children.

The specific characteristics of Chandra in the rashi and navamsha will determine the scopeand success of these general traits. Total amount of accumulated Wealth depends on relationship between L-5 Shukra+ L-9 Shani+ L-11 Mangala, and L-2 Chandra.

Sahaja Bhava 3 = 3rd from Mithuna navamsha = 3rd from Mithuna Chandra

• Communication/ mental process = Simha

• Surya-Sun:the Soul-Self rules a natural house = swabhava of neutral Budha.

• Surya's governance is not impeded in the natural house = swabhava ofBudha.

Sahaja Bhava-3 teamwork = Simha = Center-stage brilliance in business administration

Mental health tends to be good. Depending on condition of Surya and L-5, thinking process itself is highly rational. Mithuna natives are masters of argument. Combined with their Guru-owned law-court house, their confident 3rd makes excellent politicians and attorneys.

The third is also a house of administration. Mithuna folk identify socially with leadership in small-group process. They masterfully operate meetings, conferences, and the total mechanism of corporate administration with ease and comfort - or at least, tremendous confidence.

An ego-conscious thinker, the Mithuna lagna asks: what's in it for me?One naturally evaluates each opportunity to join a team or publish a communication for its self-expressive and praise-making potential.

Mithuna's workgroups and sibling groups, even residential neighbors, are composed of intelligent, confident types who have strong self-esteem.

Generally the native is independent-minded, courageous, proactive, and enthusiastic in mental process and communication styles.

If Surya is in good condition, there is good potential for self-made wealth through publications which express a uniquely personal point of view, particularly on speculative, political or entertainment topics.

Bhava 4 = 4th from Mithuna navamsha = 4th from Mithuna Chandra

• Childhood Home, parents, patriotism, security, schooling

• Servant of family security

• steward of the Land

• needs an argumentative, diagnostic, or treatment-centered home life

• may practice medicine, loan-finance, or conflict-law in the home

• the home is often a contentious place, prone to disagreement, poverty and illness

• excellent for all types of human service ministry and environmental work

Bandhu Bhava-4 home = Kanya = agriculture, service to the Land

Whether male or female, the youthful native takes an argumentative (6) younger-sibling role at home.

However they like to garden as a homeland activity and are dedicated to the service of their country and their parents.

Budha (bitter enemyof Chandra) rules bhava-4, therefore expect some complication along the path to achieving the deepest physical and emotional security in life, due to excessive logical mentalization and too much counting or calculating in the home.

• where Chandra wants to nurture and embrace, Budha wants to calculate and criticize

• the home life becomes highly mentalized, with conditional and arguable "reasons" outweighing and perhaps replacing natural affection.

• Parents are logically driven people who provide and demand reasons for all behaviors in life. the native becomes a logic-driven parent in adulthood.

Budha being both lagnesha and 4th lord, this native is favorably identified with their ethnic cultural roots and the way one's people life upon the lands. May be "teacher's pet" or do very well in the basic cultural indoctrination levels of education, for their quick ability to demonstrate the essential cultural manners.

Although general a positive placement for happiness via ownership of non-moveable wealth (shelters and lands) + moveable shelters (vehicles), some combinations spell loss.

• Common patterns of property loss through miscalculation = Budha occupies 12th-from-4th (3); or, Budha =severely asta (moudhya, combust) while Budha's lord occupies 6th-from-4th = bhava-9.

Bhava 5= 5th from Mithuna navamsha = 5th from Mithuna Chandra

• Romance, Creativity, Children, Performance Art, Authorship, Genius = Thula

• Shukra 's governance is strongly impeded in the natural house = swabhava of enemy Surya.

• theatre of diplomatic negotiation

• performance art of dance, balance, Architectural alignment

Putra Bhava-5 creativity = Thula = diplomacy, negotiation

Shukra rules a natural house = swabhava ofmutual enemy Surya. Shukra imposes a culture of negotiation and bargaining upon the creative and pro-creative endeavors. Children may be spoiled by Shukra's sweet indulgences.

• A Mithuna male may find that the wife (Shukra) has the predominant power in matters of child-raising (5, Thula) and also in the bedroom (12, Vrishabha)

Depending on the character of Shukra in the kundali, natives of the Jituma lagna tend to be fair-minded and equable (Shukra) in matters of courtly, poetic romance (5).

Mithuna can negotiate political (5) alliances (Shukra) gracefully. Much delight in children (5). May become business partners with their adult children.

Mithuna folk enjoy creative (5) artistic performance events, light socializing, and literary (5) circles. Aspire to be and often achieve the role of wealthy supporters of the arts. Mithuna pays close attention to the development of children's social manners and politeness. Offspring are provided with many opportunities to learn the finer skills of civilized society.

Gracious and intelligent teachers, Mithuna find a balanced engagement with adolescents (5). the native 's primary mode of self-expression is through agreeable pleasure-seeking relationships, nicely arranged dinner parties, multi-family pleasure trips, and other luxurious entertainments. Enjoys literature, theatre, and politically themed social events.

Masters of the balanced, pleasant, mutual-interest position in social relationships. Enjoys entertaining others with similar appreciation for enjoyable, well-designed, well-maintained environments.

Prefer to live aesthetically, but they scrupulously avoid excess. Self-identified with Balance and Harmony - not too much and not too little.

Speculation, a key matter of Putra Bhava, is successful for Yuj lagna, providing Venus is well disposed.

Fertility

Guru as L-7+L-10 is a steady planet. If even modestly well disposed, Guru periods will bring offspring. Shukra and Shani periods = fertile too.

Bhava 6 = 6th from Mithuna navamsha = 6th from Mithuna Chandra

The maha-dusthamsha bhava-6 = "double trouble" for Mithuna lagna

• Enemies, Distrust, Debts, Exploitive Finance, Bodily Disease

• Kuja + Ketu = ability to govern this bhava = strongly impeded in the natural house = swabhava ofenemy Budha.

Mangala becomes quickly frustrated with Budha's wordiness and Ketu simply observes. Unhappily for the muscular warrior, Kuja must fight criminal with a War of Words.

Ari Bhava-6 pollution= Vrischika = invasion, secrecy

• adversarial, argumentative, contradictory, sexually conflicted (Kuja vs Budha);

• health issues related to the body's hidden rejuvenation mechanisms, e.g. pineal, pituitary, thyroid glands; sexual-reproductive system

Excellent placement for a professional who delivers pro-active, vigorously competitive arguments:

• criminal attorney, divorce lawyer, medical malpractice specialist esp drug-related accusations,

• defender of prostitutes or those who exploit them,

• anti-pollution activist - or - defender of polluters,

• hazardous materials engineer,

• underclass advocate social worker, lobbyist on behalf of the disenfranchised and dispossessed

Health can be compromised by over-working, under-sleeping, and burning the midnight oil in search of the competitive mental edge.

• Too much aggressively argumentative mental action tends to bring unresolved, contentious conflict into the physical body and eventually the nature of one's service work will erode Nriyuja's health.

Health issues will manifest Mars-Budha qualities such as hypertension, fevers from intestinal infection, high blood pressure, shellshock, battle exhaustion, torn muscles, cuts, bruises, and pelvic/abdominal ailments. Accidents occur when the native is over-thinking and loses concentration on the physical environment.

Depending on condition of Kuja, will tend to have secret or covert enemies. May be perceived as sneaky or doing secretive (Vrischika) surveillance in the workplace (6) or upon polluted environments.

• excellent placement for police detective, epidemiologist or clinical diagnostician looking for hidden patterns of disease, environmental inspector, social worker home inspector for domestic violence of drug addiction cases,

Esp. during Mars periods, long-festering animosity with roots in past-life aggression will flare up into the current life.

Sometimes the body creates an illness to burn off the karma. Can be deep, hidden emotional illness breeding tumors in the sexual-reproductive system - noticed during Mars periods. Occasionally, the native may become a victim of black magic.

More often there is a scramble for power, accusations, and Martial re-assertion in the workplace, or involving marital disagreement. the native must put forth a great deal of competitive energy to manage an inordinately high load of both psychic (Ketu) and physical (Kuja) conflict. One may become psychically exhausted.

Mithuna are workplace warriors who want control. Mithuna will psychologically pressuretheir servants and employees. One may become a miserable Sisyphus,pushing eternally toward an ineffable goal of better workplace performance.

Mithuna's mental competence, physical drive, and impatience for sloth combine to create enemies amongst the employees, particularly those less ambitious. Mithuna natives work hard. Very hard.

But the fruits of these labors will depend on

• the relationship between Ketu + Kuja

• one's consciousness level regarding one's own control agenda and psychic vulnerability to the hidden anger of others.

Mithuna can successfully compartmentalize one's own personality (Budha lagnesha). Because of this mental categorization skill, Mithuna may be able to fight losing battles in the workplace for longer than most. However eventually Ketu will surrender. Such control as can be had will only be self-control.

The Employees, servants, and physicians generate one conflict after the next. Find Ketu's lord or companion graha to see the main agents of workplace trouble.

• E.g.: Ketu with Chandra, trouble from maternal females in workplace.

For Mithuna lagna, Ketu afflicts the sixth house Of dissolution of agreements, medical and conflict-management professions, and human service ministries.

The Mithuna native is raised with an active (Kuja) even dominating but also ambivalent (Ketu) approach to self-assertion in conflict situations. The mother's relatives (6) and also one's servants or employees(6) may become passive-aggressive and odd.

the native develops peculiar health conditionsrelated to psycho-sexual detachment and passive-aggressive (Ketu + Kuja) response to marital disagreement (6); physicians may be mystified (Ketu) regarding the cause of one's disease.

Better results from a well-disposed Kuja, but often there emerge some health issues of the hidden portions of the sexual-reproductive system or deriving from secretive (Vrischika) sexual behaviors.

The agents of conflict such as criminals and military agents may become scattered (Ketu) and aggressive (Kuja) by turns; the native typically feels a considerable ambivalence toward the workplace and frustrated uncertainty regarding whether one's work (6) is sufficiently complete. Sexual-reproductive system disease is noted.

Das says " Scorpio is in 6, and Saturn is in 6."

• "Saturn will increase the possibility of hypertension, violent temper, and indecision or wrong decisions which get you into problematical situations.

• You may suffer from some ailment of the pelvic region as well as infections of the urinary tract. "

Bhava-7 = 7th from Mithuna navamsha = 7th from Mithuna Chandra

• Guru's governance is strongly impeded in the natural house = swabhava ofBrihaspati's enemyShukra.

• multiple partnerships combine agenda of Shukra (wealth-pleasure) with agenda of Guru (expansion-multiplicity)

Ari Bhava-7 alliances, vows = Dhanusha = multiplicity, tolerance, inclusiveness

Although the full extent of the relationship expanse will be determined by the character of Guru within the kundali, one natural outcome of multiplicity-karaka Guru's lordship of the marriage bhava is that there will likely over time be multiple marriage partners as well as several key business alliances.

The nature of the marriage partnering behavior will certainly be in accordance with Mithuna's philosophical and religious beliefs.

• If those convictions allow multiple partners, then Mithuna will feel free to multiply.

• If those convictions require marital monogamy, then Mithuna will develop more diverse and interesting professional relationships (7th = 10th-from-10th so 7 is also a professional house.)

• both the native and the life partner typically enjoy a tolerance for diversity in their married life

• for Mithuna folk, taboo-breaking behavior in alliances = increased if Guru + Rahu or Guru + Ketu

• If Guru + Ketu, few or no boundaries in relationships; eccentric liaisons expected

Bhava-7 is naturally constituted as a place of interpersonal agreement, artistic grace, sensual pleasuring, and wealth-collecting behaviors.

Guru, who sees one-to-one Shukra as an enemy, dislikes this sort of sensual-material enterprise. Instead, Brihaspati wishes to impose His own values of religiosity, sacred vows and ritual performance, pursuit of higher knowledge, study and preaching upon holy scripture, global travel, and a generally philosophical view of life much informed by awareness of the multiple worlds.

Shukra only recognizes one world: the realm of human attractions, appreciation of financial and artistic values, and sense pleasures obtained through well-matched partnerships - both business and personal. Shukra promotes the beauty experienced via the bodily senses, particularly the eyes.

The Daitya-guru pays no attention to the ulterior matters of life philosophy which are so important to Guru. Shukra lives as if human-form, incarnate, material life would go one forever. Guru knows and preaches that material life

Guru insists on the importance of wisdom-teachings and multiple-worlds view which encompasses all lifetimes and the bridges between them. This insistence is incompatible with Shukra's agenda of concern for comfort and wealth in the present lifetime only.

Disturbs the balance of agreement in the marriage. the native must marry a Guru-type person, such as a teacher, preacher, world-traveling guru, philosopher, professor, theologian, or religionist in order to feel properly matched. This requirement is particularly emphatic for Mithuna navamsha and when Guru is pronounced in the radix.

Check the condition of Guru in radix to determine the marriage compatibility forecast.

Despite the apparently auspicious implication for benefic Guru ruling the marriage house, Shukra and Guru do not agree on the priority values of marriage, and the general result = as Behari says "Marriage is a bed of thorns".

The spouse becomes a "project" for the native , who lavishes wisdom and guidance upon the partner. the native permits the spouse to expand one's own life interests. The spouse generally is friendly and wise.

Divorce

However without explicit attention to higher philosophical matters,such as a joint teaching-missionary yoke or both spouses involved in university work, Dhanusha on the seventh house = a karaka for gradual disappointment in the short-loop sensual satisfactions of marriage. Consequences of the disappointment in limitations of the partnership generally lead to an amicable (Guru) divorce.

When relations fall grossly out of balance due to indulgence, the marriage becomes unsustainable. The spouse is typically much aggrieved at losing their privileges, and feels they have done nothing wrong.

Indeed, the source of the difficultly is mismanagement by the native - who often feels that spousal indulgence was an unappreciated gift rather than a management mistake.

Quality of marriage depends on the material condition of Guru.

Badhaka-sthana

• Bhava-7 from Mithuna lagna = Dhanushya = the primary "Badhaka" or harm-causing bhava.

Common-rashi lagna typically has some karmic trouble from the spouse, business-partner, attorney-counselor, medical consultant, peer-adviser colleague, etc.

Problematicity = increased if Guru = neechchamsha or Brihaspati occupies a dushthamsha.

Contracts, agreements, legal discussions, all types of advising are expansively smooth and easy. Law courts are a philosophically engaging, humanistic place to be.

Divorce is less common, due to generous nature of Guru. When divorce does happen, it tends to be amicable and easily adjudicated. As always, any graha occupying bhava-7 will radically affect the house.

"If Sagittarius or Pisces or Jupiter's Navamsha be descending, the husband will be brave, have control over his passions and desiresand will possess other virtues."

~~ Bhrigu SutramCh. 2 4 Shloka 12

~~ BPHS Ch. 80, shloka 22-25

If at a woman's birth, the 7th bhava or the setting Navamsha be that of of Jupiter,

the husband of the woman concerned will be of great merit and will have passions under his control.

Das/Behari commentary = Sagittarius is in 7, and Mars is in 7.

• "Your marriage may be scandalous;

• frequent quarrels between the partners are not uncommon. "

Bhava-8 = 8th from Mithuna navamsha = 8th from Mithuna Chandra

Shani's governance is strongly impeded in the natural house = swabhava of enemy Kuja.

• Sudden, forced changes; catastrophic upheavals; Joint assets of marriage, pooled monies; secret matters; surgery and therapeutic healing, taboos, taxes, tantra in-laws; speech and values of the spouse

Shani -Saturn: Karmic Cleanup

Randhra Bhava-8 in-laws, spousal assets = Makara = regular habits, lawful conduct

Because Shani = lord of 8th-from-lagna and 9th-from-lagna, Mithuna natives have a disciplined and austere approach toward matters of catastrophic change and the wisdom-teachings of religious priesthood.

• In matters of the marital treasury (8) and management of in-laws, 8th-ruling Makara prefers cautiously pragmatic and scientifically proven behavior (Shani) over direct action (Kuraja).

Relationship to the spouse's family is characterized by careful respect for the in-law's dignity and social position, but there is limited natural affection.

Joint assets of marriage are reduced by oppressive Shani unless Shani is especially well-disposed. As a rule, the spouse contributes less to the joint marital bank-accounts than the Nriyuj native.

Often this condition of scarcity (Shani) is quite acceptable to professional Mithuna. as Kanya = 4 indicates a preference for having servants in the home. If the spouse chooses a home-based lifestyle, this situation effectively places the spouse in the service of the homestead. Presuming Budha is well disposed, Mithuna is often the sole or dominant financial supporter in the marriage.

Alternatively, spouses may keep their accounts non-jointly, as Shani rules cold separations.

Depending on Shani's condition, spouse's contribution to the wealth of the marriage while possibly not financial may indeed be promote the native 's career .(bhava-8 = gainful 11th- from-10th).

The spouse is normally from a family of more plebian social standing; respectable but humbled by social circumstances.

Perhaps a hardworking simple clan, or a distinguished family fallen on hard times. In any case Mithuna folk will contribute more psychic and financial resource into the joint assets of marriage than the spouse.

Other features of Randhra bhava such as Deep healing transformation, psychotherapy, therapeutic massage, and other regenerative therapies = barely accessible to Mithuna due to Shani's scarcity thinking. Mithuna prefers to suppress their need for change and numb their fears with work.

Resistance to Transformation

Two malefics rule two dushthamsha: 6 = malignant Mars as 6th lord, while Shani the King of Denial rule the 8th bhava. It is a recipe for slowly festering resistance to change underlying long-term illnesses of the blood (kuja) internal genitalia (Kuja) bones (Shani) and skin (Shani).

Deep transformative healing is difficult to access because Shani characteristically dislikes movement and prevents change.

Logically mentalized Mithuna takes a materialistic view of mysteries. Shani prefers to maintain conventional appearances. Therefore no matter what the internal struggle and urgency for "turning over a new leaf" the Mithuna native clings to old routines.

If naturally occurring marital disagreements (6, Kuja-ruled) cannot be easily resolved (7, Guru) without imposing evolutionary change (8) , Shani simply shuts down the interaction with the change-forcing agent (who is typically the spouse).

Any number of covert activities may be happening with or without the knowledge of the spouse, but on the surface, society will see a conformist and conventionalized presentation of the marriage treasuries (8).

For Mithuna, Kuja lord of 6 is action-oriented therefore periods of an unfortunate Kuja may trigger divorce from the life partner, but also the conflict energy can manifest as illness of the internal sex glands or diseases of the blood.

Das/Behari comments on the conflict for Mithuna

• "makes you learned and religious.

• You are receptive to those forces of nature which raise you

  • from the level of personal considerations to a concern for society in general.

• However, under certain planetary combinations,

  • selfishness may become acute

  • and you are confined to your own narrow mental cell."

Das/Behari comments on "The Sun is in Capricorn, and Gemini is in 1."

• "You may experience many miseries. "

Das/Behari comments on "Capricorn is in 8, and the Sun is in 8."

Ravi the Illuminator = Lord of 8th-from-8th = Sahaja-bhava (instructions, training) = residing in bhava-8 =mysterious unknown

• "You are ripe for occult training and the control of nature's secret powers.

• Nothing worldly attracts you under this impulse, so the physical world is transcended and you are free to devote yourself to occult preparations.

• Society does not give you any recognition;

  • you may be humiliated,

  • your actions and attitudes are misunderstood.

• But these trials simply make you more receptive to the illuminations from the unknown.

• The Sun in this position presents physical restrictions and difficulties which enable you to gain spiritual power. "

Bhava 9 = 9th from Mithuna navamsha = 9th from Mithuna Chandra

Shani + Rahu = governance is not impeded in the natural house = swabhava of neutral Guru.

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

Dharma Bhava-9 wisdom, sacred = Kumbha = scientific economics with a Rahu twist!

Because Shani is lord of 8th-from-lagna and 9th-from-lagna, Mithuna natives have a disciplined and austere approach toward matters of catastrophic change and the wisdom-teachings of religious priesthood.

Kumbha ruler of 9 prefers a scientific life philosophy (Shani) but Rahu co-lord of Kumbha causes sudden self-elevation via World Travel (9) and encounters with the Naga-ruled religions of the huge world underclass.

Periods of Rahu are full of elevating, leap-upward energy that propels the native into is actually

One can live in a way that conforms to contemporary moral teachings(9), but one is deeply aware that the greater power lies with hidden sources of power (8).

Shani's restrictions generally guarantee that the inspiration and consolation of Religion is not easily accessible to Dvamdva-lagna. Although logically philosophical and scientifically correct, they do not have much psychic permission to run the intuition levels necessary to recognize the dharma.

Dvamdva-lagna natives are materialistic, scientific positivists in their philosophical worldview. Mithuna are believers in scientific (Kumbha) methods and the proof via data from the five senses.

• Universities rather than temples provide their priestly source of higher knowledge.

Often atheists or agnostics, Mithuna are nonetheless legitimately spiritual beings.

choose religious fellowship for purposes of social affiliation or community culture - rather than any personal hunger for truth.

The father is frequently distant and hard-working, a practical realist, involved in science or technology. Shani's location (combined with 9th-from-Moon) will tell the nature of the father's social role.

Very sensitive to the abuse of religious authority, the native takes a dim view of subjective truth claims and guru-charisma.

For Mithuna lagna, Rahu afflicts ninth houseof father, wisdom-teachings, guru, professor, temple, university, and priests.

The father, one's study of philosophy and religion,and one's own professorship, moral judgeship or priesthood(9) will manifest in the context of a certain scientific materialistic rigidity (Shani) combined with sudden attacks of upheaval due to passionate behavior of the father, guru figures, and higher teachers.

The Mithuna native's father and wisdom-teachers (9)are subject tomixed signals. On the one hand, Shani as lord of Kumbha gives orderly, visionary scientific and conceptual thought - which overlaid upon the house of Wisdom can produce some extraordinary research intelligence into the workings of Higher Law.

• On the other hand, Rahu contributes a taboo-breaking attitude religious and philosophical belief systems, and toward the task of passing along a wisdom lineage to one's grandchildren.

For Mithuna lagna, Kumbha/9 results in a mix of resistance and desire toward the process of obtaining higher knowledge; one may hunger for philosophical attainment (Rahu) but due to Shani's cold materialism, one may suffer the skeptical rejection of the highest divine truths.

The father and wisdom-teachers will be scientific-minded and culturally unusual.

Bhava-10 = 10th from Mithuna navamsha = 10th from Mithuna Chandra

• Guru-Jupiter:Wisdom Expansion

• Guru's governance is not impeded in the natural house = swabhava ofneutral Shani.

Karma bhava 10 = Meena = reflective, imaginative leadership style

L-10 Guru =philosophical, contemplative view of the social order.

the native is a broad-minded but capable executive who imposes an orderly, lawful environment informed by a broadly humanistic understanding.

• Guru rules two career bhava for Mithuna: Karma bhava 10 + yuvati bhava, 10th-from-10th.

Presuming that Guru is well disposed, , the Mithuna native when engaged in elite leadership roles will display a capacity for compassionate guidance toward realization of humanistic social "causes" rather than a punitive or conformist style.

Guru emphasizes the role of peer-to-peer relationships (7) within the boss role (10) making the Mithuna native more concerned with partnership equity than with personal executive authority. As a result, positions like "managing partner" in a professional partnership firm are most suitable to the Yugma (yoking, joining) ascendant.

Guru the Guide tends to use socially privileged positions (10) as a means of expanding the leadership scope and visibility for those in one's downstream. the native is as much a teacher as a boss.

Generous toward the lower management, other less powerful decision-makers, the rank-and-file workers. Provides an expansive presence in general. Consciously preaches to improve conditions in the hierarchy.

Even when too much engaged in their own work and temporarily unable to assist the development of others, is always a sincere well-wisher toward the entire social organization.

Career draws on past-life credit and is inherently fortunate.

Skills that define the present-life career = 10th navamsha and its lord.

Guru's condition in radix, considered along with the condition of the lord of 10th-from-Chandra and the lord of the dashamsha lagna, will show a broader set of details regarding one's most visible public duties.

Presuming good auspice for Guru, the Mithuna lagna can expect to enjoy an expansive, and relatively easy step-wise ascent (10) to a respected, responsible professional position.

• Should Guru join Rahu, a rapid world-traveling ascent to high social rank during Rahu periods.

• If Guru is also lord of 10th from Chandra, quick rise due to philosophical knowledge.

Mithuna has an overall preference for the intellectual professions or business administration, but the lord of the 10th navamsha will narrow this general trait.

Bhava 11 = 11th from Mithuna navamsha =11th from Mithuna Chandra

• Kuja -Mars governance is not impeded in the natural house = swabhava ofneutral Shani.

Labha bhava 11 = Mesha = competitive marketplace action

Mesha-11: befriends the bold and innovative; the vital and the body-based; those less concerned with established wealth and beauty; those involved with birth and uniqueness; the assertive and masculine; the conquistadores ; the hot-blooded and athletic; the masculine, the competitive; independent winners

Kuja rules 11 = gains, goals, and mutually profitable marketplace associations. Friends and associates are generally chosen on the basis of their competitive abilities, because this native likes to socialize with winners.

Mesha needs movement. For Mithuna to be happy in friendly company, Voluntary associations in the social network (11) do not have to be combative, but they should be pursued in active outdoor sporting life or in some vigorously social style within the competitive professional marketplace of goods and ideas .

Presuming that Kuja is in good condition, Mithuna lagna will earn fairly well due to Kuja's wellspring of physical energy directed toward obtainment of social-material goals.

Kuja also rules bhava-6 = debt = 9th-from-10th. Kuja periods can bring servitude as well as success. Often the best combination is professional public service which brings benefit of higher marketplace earnings in exchange for labor but does not reduce the need for constant labor in the workplace (6).

The work-energized Mithuna native must certainly work for a living. If their paid work ceases to become urgent due to unemployment or retirement they will feel unbearably restless until a charitable or voluntary work commitment occurs.

Naturally, these general effects of an active, moving, muscular Kuja-ruled labha bhava can be significantly improved when pro-luxury or pro-gain graha occupy 11 - e.g., if L-2 Chandra is in 11, a dhana yoga is found even with Mesha-11

Das/Behari comments on "Aries is in 11, and Moon is in 11."

[BPL notes: dhana-pati L-2 Chandra in goal-oriented, lawfully gainful bhava-11 = a major dhana yoga. the native will have good wealth although, as Das mentions, anything regulated by Chandra will fluctuate. Mining = Mangala]

• "With the Moon in this sign, you become very wealthy;

• your income, however, tends to fluctuate.

• Your status increases after marriage.

• You possess "many ornaments"

• and have a special opportunity to earn money through mining operations. "

Das/Behari comments on "Aries is in 11, and Ketu is in 11."

[BPL notes: realization of the saintly qualities depends absolutely upon Ketu's lord Mangala, AND any other co-occupants of the labhastana.]

• "Ketu makes you honorable, absorbed in your philosophical thoughts, contemplating a new way of life and social order.

• Immensely practical in your sense of logic

• but extremely impractical in your profession, you are a kind of saint,

• leading a beautiful but impoverished life. "

Bhava 12 = 12th from Mithuna navamsha = 12th from Mithuna Chandra

• Meditation, Clairsentience and Dreams

Shukra - Venus:Agreements rules a natural house = swabhava ofGuru.

Shukra's governance is (only somewhat) impeded in the natural house = swabhava of neutral Guru.

• L-12 Shukra in lagna = John Edwards (2008-2010 sex scandal)

• L-12 Shukra in 11 = Earnings = Marilyn Monroe earnings frombedroom-behavior

Vyaya bhava 12 = Vrishabha = private pleasures, enjoyment of seclusion

The meditation and inner sanctuary house is sensualized by pleasant lord Shukra, who aids the enjoyment of private environments, particularly bed pleasures.

A state of meditative relaxation may be entered via the aura-soothing sensuality of essential oils, fine wines, delicious foods, calming touch, and delightful music (Shukra).

Presuming the Shukra is well disposed and strong, escapist spa-type deep relaxation is easily accessible. Healing sanctuaries, fine hotels and lovely convalescent enclosures readily open their doors to the balance-seeking native.

Finest relaxation from the tension of physical existence occurs in forests and fields of nature (Vrishabha) and whilst traveling in foreign lands (12).

Great pleasure in foreign journeys, the longer the better.

In addition to positive implications of meditation and spiritual retreat+ L-12 also = Enemies of the marriage (12 = 6th from 7).

Temptations to break the marriage vows tend to be females with beauty, grace, wealth, or artistic talent. The imagination (12) turns to clandestine pleasures. However look more closely at the character of Shukra in the nativity to determine if there is a threat and if so the details by Shukra's bhava and rashi.

With Shukra as 12th lord it may be tempting to take the false route to disembodied bliss - tamasicindulgence leading to sensual saturation - rather than Sattvicmeditation and prayer. Much depends on Shukra's dignity.

Mithuna-lagna enjoys foreign travel immensely. Along with their natural love of children, world travel esp to places of great natural beauty can be a major source of satisfaction

If Shukra is strong, Mithuna can take up residence in a foreign land during Shukra's periods.

whatever is excellent and admirable -

fill all your thoughts with these things."
