Chandra in Karkata, as lord of 1st-from-itself, is inherently auspicious for matters of the physical body appearance, iconic projection of the social personality, and physical vitality.

"Bred for protection and defense."

Chandra-Karkata needs to parent and protect .When Chandra-Karkata looks in the mirror, one sees a parent, a custodial figure, a giver of sheltered territory, a heart-centered, culture-rooted caretaker. Chandra-Karkata = fundamental drive = to create safe secure nests where fledglings can habitually sustain life until adulthood.

Karkata's parental needs may find expression in the traditional home environment.

Yet the caretaking and protective behaviors may just as easily and successfully express in custodial roles within business and government , when the Karka-Moon native helps younger colleagues shape their career; binds co-workers into a caring family.

This parental drive rises to a leadership role through the love and loyalty one has created in the workplace. Karkata-Chandra grants a tremendously patriotic feeling , which marks the lives those who love their countries and stand willing to sacrifice in order to better their nation's future.

Their homes may become well-guarded fortresses if there is some present threat to security (such as media prying for celebrities). Dedicated to providing well-defended shelter for kith and kin.

Actual success (or not) in expressing deep parenting, caretaking instincts in the home, professional, and community environments, depends on the Chandra-sthana and aspects to Soma.

• Soma is EXTREMELY impressionable and absorptive. Outside influences upon Chandra in swakshetra = exceptionally potent.

• E.g., if Mars is uchcha(where He triumphs in commerce and industry) Kuja would cast the 7th drishti directly onto Karkata-Soma, propelling much of Soma's parenting energy into the corporate setting.

• If Mars = fallen in Karkata, there is some wealth/energy benefit from Chandra-Mangala yoga, but emotional excess will implode in the home/mother.

Have a Karkata-Soma person in your life? Be sure to honor and respect their parenting, caretaking, stewardship contribution to the safety and security of the local environment.

Chandra-Karkata = so psychologically reflexive regarding their ownership-protective-defensive behaviors that they are often silent about their emotional needs. In fact their need for nesting, closeness, and safety cannot be completely self-satisfied.

Chandra-Karkata perceives a constant need to strengthen the defenses, circle the wagons, and bring more fledgling creatures into their secure territory.

Chandra- Karkata needs validation from appreciative spouses, co-workers, and children. And, sometimes, they need a gentle reminder that Mother Earth does quite a good job caring for all creatures - there may not be a genuine need for one individual human to parent quite so many creatures, or quite so much!

Chandra- Karkata needs to shelter and protect. One needs to feed in order to strengthen the fledglings: with food, with approval, with resources for adult success.

Allow Chandra- Karkata to care for you. Show how much you appreciate their nurturing emotional energy. It may be necessary occasionally to gently advise, when too protection has been enforced. Too much sheltering can develop into patronizing over control (esp Azlesa). Fearful over-protection can shackle and bind.

A small act of gratitude is usually all Chandra-Karkata needs in order to assuage their guilt that they haven't done enough!

If Chandra occupies bhava-6 in Karkata rashi, Harsha Yoga applies. Excellent for success in healing arts, special talent for chronic illness with an emotional basis. Good for import-export business (esp. items for the home) and work in foreign lands, service work in temples of the Mother Goddess..

Auspice for a fortunate uncle or aunt.

Contractual Partnerships and Trusts = 7th-from-Karkata-Chandra = Makara

7th from Karkata-Chandra = Makara. The partner = "governor, regulator, imposer of law + order".

The spouse favors highly visible public leadership roles of significant corporate or institutional responsibility. If not a high-visibility position-holder, the spouse is nevertheless a capable and pragmatic materialist with good business sense, and often the leading earner or decision-maker in the family.

Spouse of the Karkata-Chandra native = mature in character and most often = chronologically elder to the native . (Shani rules Time.)

Examples:

• Maria O. Shriver 's husband Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor of California; Mr. Schwarzenegger = 8 years her senior

• Katie Holmes's husband Tom Cruise was a significantly respected industry figure at the time of their marriage; Mr. Cruise = 16 years her senior.

• USA Pres-31, Herbert Hoover's wife Lou Henry was a businesswoman and institutional leader in her own right (of several family corporations and the Girl Scouts) which was a very distinctive quality for a woman in the late 1800's. Mrs. Hoover was born 6 months elder to Mr. Hoover.

• although Queen Elizabeth I(b.1533) never betrothed her lifetime entrusted government advisor and political counselor William Cecil (b. 1521) was 12 years her senior.

• the wife of Mahatma M. Gandhiwas Mrs. Kasturbai Kapadia Gandhi, who was likely a capable governor in her own style, notably sober and mature in character, and also one year elder to her husband.

Parenting = Chandra-Karkata

The Chandra-Karkata parents wants above all to have well-protected, emotionally and physically secure, well-schooled and patriotic children. Children may be encouraged to garden and maintain safe vehicles with the family.

Sade Sati

Sade Sati is a distinctive emotional experience for most people. During this challenging era of 7 years - with the white-hot core being 2.3 years of Shani's actual transit via the rashi of the Moon - one feels deprived, delayed, derailed, disregarded, disrespected, distanced, desperate and often disabled in matters of security, protection, and emotional sustenance.

Being the lagnesha who controls the visible social identity as well as the emotional perceptions, reactive Chandra is especially vulnerable to the fear (Shani) of identity invalidation caused by social punishing judgment (Shani) , emotional nutrient shortage caused by physical separations, and temporary lack of belongingness (Chandra) that Lord Shani's karmicly lawful reign may impose.

• Shukra = badhesha

• Chandra = Karkatapati = enemy of Shukra.

• Vimshottari dasha periods of Shukra = particularly full of obstructions (badha) for Karkata-Chandra.
