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

  • "Needs nurturing, caretaking, protection and defense."

  • tend to retain water leading to puffy swelling oedemic conditions in the flesh-body

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 exceptionally 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.

  • Due to Shukra + Budha in 8, USA Pres 22-24 Grover Cleveland follows the "elder spouse" rules albeit via a complicated marital situation. During his long bachelorhood, Cleveland fathered a "love child" with a divorced woman (Shukra) elder to him. Cleveland paid for this child's education and life expenses without complaint but made no effort to marry the woman. In late middle age, Cleveland legally married the 21 year old daughter (Budha) of his deceased business partner, and they enjoyed a high-profile lifestyle with five children born into the marriage.

  • 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) was never officially betrothed, her lifetime entrusted government advisor and political counselor William Cecil (b. 1521) was 12 years her senior.

  • the wife of Mahatma M. Gandhi was 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.

5th-from-Karkata = Vrischika

  • Investigative skills, discoveries, and competitive advantage = important.

  • Child = inquisitive, penetrating, secret relationships, poison, controlling personality + a strong bond with brothers.

  • Detectives, psychiatrists, disaster-responders + money-changers = beneficial for this child.

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.

Difficult Angles:

  • 12th-from Karkata-Chandra = Mithuna

  • 6th-from Karkata-Chandra = Dhanushya

during Vimshottari periods of Chandra , Mithuna-related matters create a nutrient drain (12th-from) upon the emotional vitality

Energy-drainers = emotional losses and erosion of identity + vital life-force power =


6th-from Karkata-Chandra == disagreement-distrust-dispute-divorce = Dhanushya

  • Karkata-Chandra = emotional conflict with temple rituals and religious orthodoxy. They distrust professors, preachers, priests, and patriarchs.

Since Chandra and Guru are mutually friendly graha, this shad-ashtaka 6-8 angleis more tolerant and less acutely inimical


Guru Dhanushya

Karkata-Chandra suffers built-in emotional conflict with temple rituals and religious orthodoxy. They distrust preachers and priests.

temple religion and university culture of ethical philosophy and wisdom discussions (Dhanushya) = somewhat inimical to one 's healthy emotional identity


Adversaries = agents of Dhanushya

  • for a woman: husbands and ethical dogma of religions

  • belief systems and their promoters, guru, priest, professor, preacher, teacher, religious figure, /p>

  • rabbi, imam, lama, pujari, religious rituals and ritual performance, religious doctrine and its promulgators

Examples:

Chairman Mao suffered deep emotional conflicts arising from a rather strong Dhanushya (religion) Surya in the 6th from Chandra.

  • His hatred of temples, priests, and religious teachings was virulent and never much masked.
  • Following the dictum of Karl Marx that religion is the opiate of the people, he launched a violent overthrow of his adversaries the priestly religions, cults of archaic ritual, all temples of all varieties of worship, and all of the patriarchal (Surya) privileges claimed by those associated with the glorified (Surya) cults of the emperors (Ravi).

In their place he asserted one great Fatherland of which he personally became the personalized symbol.


Karkata Chandra

problematic 6th-from-Chandra= rashi of Dhanusha

Graha in Dhanusha represent emotional adversaries

L-6+L-9 Guru = Karkata implicitly feels imbalanced, annoyed and upset with:

  • preachers, professors, wisdom-teachers, guru, father , religious dogma in general, temples and universities, sanctimonious and pious people; however this is not so difficult because Guru = L-9; one tends to accept the human foibles of religious figures, and practice a sort of ritual respect while grumbling all the while about flaws and problems.

  • The Karkata-Chandra lifetime is easier if Dhanusha rashi has no tenant graha..

Method of enacting emotional animosity toward one is characteristic of Dhanushya:

  • cheerful or pollyanna-ish, open-minded or inaccurate, tolerant or indiscriminate, world traveler or irresponsible parasite, lives off the charity of donors or a great teacher, loves the gods or loves the donations to the temple, devoted to the great philosophy or delighting in the great festival foods, compassionate or con-man.


    • E.g., for a Mithuna Chandra with Vrishabha radix lagna, Vrischika becomes bhava-7, and one experiences discomfort and imbalance in the marriage union. If Mangala is strong and poorly placed, no matter how good other conditions might be in radix bhava-7, the fact that this house = 6th from Chandra makes it difficult to sustain a committed alliance.

    Predisposition to Injury and Accident

    • Karkata Chandra is somewhat prone to injury from horses, zebra, wildebeest, donkey, and other quadrupeds

from Chandra-lagna the L-8 is Shani.

Chandra feels neutral toward L-8 Shani, but L-8 Shani feels animosity toward Chandra

The emotional core of Karkata-Chandra is deeply attached to folkways and one feels roots clinging deep into the land. Shani periods signal significant upheaval due to a sudden imposition of government rules and regulations that seem new and wrong. However, after Shani's onslaught, the native will recover and reground.

19-year long Vimshottari periods of Shani = sudden change induced by law and lawfulness, conformity to public opinion, reputation, social position

  • Details of the circumstances of the catastrophic change are indicated by the rashi and bhava of Shani


To see more periods of catastrophic emotional identity destruction and rebirth, Look also for malefic transits through the badhakha 22nd drekkamsha from Chandra.

Examples of transformative-trigger transits through 8th-from zones:

  • transit of malefic Shani L-7/ L-8 from Chandra across the 22nd drekkamsha from Chandra

  • transit of the Kharesha = lord of 22nd drekkamsha = transiting through radical lagna, through 22nd drekkamsha, across nakshatra of radical Chandra, via 8th-from-Chandra, etc.

  • transit of L-8 from radical lagna via the 22nd drekkamsha from lagna.

USA Pres 22-24 Grover Cleveland = Shukra + Budha in 8th from Chandra. Sex scandal involving a Love Child from the relationship 8th-from-Chandra

Badhaka angle for a Chara rashi = 11th from Karkata = Vrishabha = badhesha = Shukra

MALES

Chandra in Karkata Rashi

  • Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra . p 182

"Tender-hearted but selfish, these people are possessive and expect gratitude and love in return from those on whom they lavish their affections.

Theirs is a possessive regard and as friends, they are jealous because of their wish to absorb the entire time and affection of those whom they befriend. They are receptive to and pleased by flattery, and are easily hurt and upset by slights from those from whom they expect friendship.

They are proud of family and ancestors, and like to relate their family history and lineage. They are also very patriotic to the country of their birth or adoption and are offended if it is criticized. They love domestic life and make good husbands and fathers.

They are inclined also to be social climbers and it is important to them to be respected and looked up to in the community in which they live. They are thrifty and most careful and scrupulous in financial matters. They love to live near the water, and to take sea voyages or travel in foreign lands.

They are successful in businesses having to do with exports or imports, particularly of food commodities, but in any merchandise which can be quickly turned over. They usually possess some property or real estate, but their incomes are not steady. They are sometimes successful at gardening or truck farming.

Many musicians are born with the Moon in Cancer. These people are rather robust in their morals and language and are apt to be lacking in refinement. They are quite courageous and accept calamity or disaster philosophically and placidly. They are fond of the theatre and life is incomplete to them without the make-believe of the stage.

These people are rather serious in their affairs of the heart, but because of their possessive love, the marriage partner is apt to chafe under it and as a result, more than one marriage is common in the lives of Moon in Cancer people.

They can be recognized usually by a heavy, rather rolling walk, which consists of small fast steps. They have thick short fleshy necks and chests, and large front teeth. They have large hands with short fat fingers and large feet. They are of moderate height with round faces and fair complexions. They are inclined to worry and should avoid a tendency to drown their worries in drink.

Their fortunate gem is Pearl, preferably of a pink or bluish color and their favorable day is Monday. "

FEMALES

Chandra in Karkata Rashi

  • Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra . p 196

"These women are of moderate height, round faces. inclined to puffiness (unless Mars be conjunct the Moon, which renders the face sharp and thin). Bodies inclined to stoutness and as age increases, even to obesity.

They are essentially family women, being greatly attached to home and husband and children, almost to the exclusion of all other interests. They are possessive and sensitive to fancied slights from people from whom they expect love and kindness. They are social climbers and love to talk of what they possess,of me and mine, particularly with reference to home, family and friends.

These women are kind and sympathetic to the point of being fussy, and in their attitude towards their children they are just like fussy mother hens. Outside of the home, they make good hotel managers, real estate supervisors or restaurant hostesses or owners. They are very thrifty.

They do not have strong constitutions, but suffer from heat and stomach troubles. As they grow older they become rheumatic with many pains and aches in consequence; they also become heavy on their feet. Throughout their lives, they seem to worry much over fancied diseases and take many patent medicines. "

for Chandra in Karkata Rashi

  • Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra . p 234

"If the Moon be in Cancer at birth, the main period of the Moon will be marked by a tendency toward domesticity.

The individual will live in a place which is either very rocky or is surrounded by mountains, or high ground and trees.

He will have domestic animals around him according to his means and he will spend more money on animals than he will at any other time in his life.

There is some danger during this period of contracting a secret disease and every care should be taken to avoid contagion."

Bhrigu Sutram

  • Ch. 4 Shloka 48-56

"The female born will murder her husband if

  • the rising Trimshamsha or the Trimshamsha occupied by the Moon be that of Saturn,

  • while the Ascendant or the sign occupied by the Moon at the time of birth is Karkata."
