Summary of Graha Lordships for Karkata - Cancer

Surya

L-2

Moon-Sun = L-1 + L-2

• Surya-Chandra are the 1-2 lords, so Karka rising is predisposed to put self and family lineage first, in their life priorities.

• Matters of bloodline descent and ancestral values, antiques, historical records etc. are naturally important to Karkata natives. They are often leaders within their families.

Surya karaka for rational self, soul, pride,and awareness of the Divine intelligence within every human being. Ravi controls the native 's family-of-origin relationships, historical traditions and language capabilities; one's food, hoarded wealth, art and music collections, face, teeth, mouth, and hair.

Surya, being a karaka for the eyes as well as the lord of bhava-2, the bhava representing the right eye, may have a pronounced effect on the ocular health. If Surya is not well-disposed in the nativity or perhaps Ravi is enduring a difficult temporary influence such as oppression by gochara Shani or the Vimshottari period of an enemy graha, gems for Surya may help strengthen the positive expectations which will assist with overall healing.

As Dr. Kapoor notes (below) a combination of pure Ravi-ratna with flawless Soma-ratna for the Karkata lagna native will assist in evoking the native 's subconscious imagery of positive vitality and radiant good health in the eyes.

Career

Because Suryais a karaka for career and public recognition, and Ravi = L-2 for Karkata lagna, the Karkata native is somewhat disposed toward to accept public roles and professional leadership responsibilities in storage and collections, esp. food (2) and speech and the mouth , song, language, story-telling, memory and historic conservation.

Example environments include:

• banking , art collections, curator , historical knowledge, memory, food and seed storage, music archives, gatherer, recorder of images of beautiful things (photographer, arts librarian, archivist) record-keeper, wealth management, shopkeeper, inventories and warehousing, barns and silos, dentistry, speech therapist and public speaker and singer, language specialties, and all varieties of hoarding and accumulating.

Chandra

L-1

Moon-Sun = L-1 + L-2

• Surya-Chandra are the 1-2 lords, so Karka rising is predisposed to put self and family lineage first, in their life priorities.

• Matters of bloodline descent and ancestral values, antiques, historical records etc. are naturally important to Kataka natives. They are often leaders within their families.

The highly fluctuating and impressionable Chandra must be studied closely to gain a clear profile of this native. Lagnesha Chandra infuses the Karkata native with emotional sensitivity and deepens the natural connection to the parents.

Native is comfortable with boating, fishing, and life near the sea shore.

• Chandra - Moon is always the lagnesha

• Chandra's position will make or break the success of Karka lagna folks. Chandra will show the style and direction in which the life force wishes to travel.

• Should Chandra be exalted, in own sign, in parivartan with his lord, or in kendra, the Karka lagna native will enjoy worldly success. The stronger Soma's traits the strong the native 's performance in his specialty.

• Guru, Shukra, and other benefics will contribute their own measure of talent and capability to the life. However, the lagnesha Chandra has amplified powers.

  ---

• if Chandra occupies Vrishabha(Taurus)in labha bhava, one has many friends and good business intuition. Female friends will provide many valuable opportunities. uchcha Chandra in bhava-11 gives connections, networks, goals, accomplishments, and the marketplace suggests that this native will be well-known in their community for traits of beauty, artistic sense, financial stability, love of fine foods and drinks, and celebrations. This person has a wonderful team spirit and will be well-liked even if other planets cause distress.

• By contrast, if Chandra occupies Vrischika (Scorpio)where He is fallen, in putra bhava, the individual may find that their creativity and self-expression seeks the dark side. There is a journalistic fascination with the negative psychology of other people's lives, which is not necessarily a bad thing for society (often makes healers, psychologists, occult authors) but this condition may deprive the individual of deep inner peace.

When lagnesha occupies the bhagya (fortunate) houses 1, 5, or 9, circumstances must be beneficial. Yet, the fallen Moon causes moodiness (to the extreme of bi-polarity),emotional implosion, and hostility in the family.Vrischika Moon may press the native into a self-obsessive state that yields great scientific discoveries; works of penetrating art and literature; or transcendent tantric achievements. Yet the native pays a price of permanent inner turmoil.

• Lagnesha Soma in Dhanishtha Nakshatra in Randhra-sthana would bring the wealth always associated with Dhanishtha Moon, and in the 8th house [2nd-from-7th] we expect this wealth to come through the first spouse.

Despite his wealth this native will suffer all the self-destructive instincts which accompany any lagnesha in 8th-house - but so much stronger when lagnesha is Chandra, lord of the psycho-mental field. This birth is outwardly fortunate; internally disastrous.

Kuja

L-5+ L-10

Yogakaraka

Yogakaraka Kuja has the power to bring fame, winnings, leadership roles, and - eventually - public dignity.

Neechcha Kuja residing in lagna usually gets neechcha bhanga and becomes very beneficial for public recognition (10) through vigorous, self-defending competition in politics and entertainment (5) . Makes a famous sea captain, industrialist, politician, entertainer, or adventurer.

• USA Sen-VP, Al Gore, Jr.

• USA Pres-3, Thomas Jefferson

• horror fiction writer Stephen King (film production and literary industry)

• esoteric writer-teacherAlice Bailey(literary and intellectual entertainments)

Problematic in bhava-2 = may be a highly public (10) and energized (Mangala) Teller of Tales who can suit the facts of the world to one's own financial (2) purposes.

• India-PM Indira Gandhi

• USA Pres-43, G. W. Bush

• financier Donald Trump

• theosophical writer, story-teller H.P. Blavatsky

Remedial and Supportive Gems - munga

from: ~~ Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology. Ranjan Publications, New Delhi. p. 96

• "For the Cancer Ascendant, Mars being lord of the 5th a trine (trikona) and 10th house quadrant (kendra) is a very auspicious (yoga Karaka) planet.

• If it is worn always by the native s of this Ascendant they will be blessed with children, intelligence, good fortune, name, fame, honours and success in their professional career.

• If Red Coral is worn with PearlAndthe gem stone of the lord of Cancer ascendant -- results will prove more beneficial.

• The beneficial results will be more pronounced in the major period of Mars."

Budha

L-3+ L-12

Budha =L-3+L-12

• for Karkata lagna and Karkata Chandra, Budha yields improved results after age 32 = the age of maturity for Budha

• Vimshottari periods of Budha =challenges to clear thinking, tendency to over-mentalize

Ruling two unfavorable bhava, Budha is not a beneficial graha for Karkata lagna.

Both day-to-day mentality and the meditative imagination are busy and superficial. The Karka native tends toward shallow, short-term thinking, unless Budha is quite well disposed or there are good occupants in bhava-12.

Can be a graha of business success due to bhava-3's bhavat bhavam signification as a house of self-made wealth. the native has natural administrative ability, is generally chatty, and loves to strike up a conversation about any topic.

Especially successful in publications business such as bookstore or media advertising. However the Karkata native is not a philosopher but rather one's mentality is looking for short-term advantage (3) and opportunity for bedroom sanctuary (12) or indulgence of articulated fantasies (12)

bhava-3 is an upachaya house, the results of which improve with time. In middle age and beyond, the native may develop good writing skills if Budha is strong.

Guru

L-6+ L-9

Ruling both the mega-dushthamsha bhava-6 AND the mega-bhagya sthana bhava-9, Brihaspati gives very mixed resultsfor Karkata lagna.

• If Guru is yuti lagnesha Chandra, the native is prone to mix sincere religion with deep corruption(see G. W. Bush - 43).

Guru in bhava-6loves religious culture, but tends toward ostentatious show of social ceremony. Priestly energy is consumed with caring for the lower classes. the native is a sincere humanist who may be a wonderful teacher esp. of the underprivileged, but the circumstances of one's school or temple are full of conflict, illness, and debt. Overconfidence (similar to neechcha Guru). Overspending on costume, trying to appear of higher rank. Diseases of overeating and misuse of religious funds.

Guru can be an especially difficult graha for Karkata nativities in which Guru = L-6 from both radix lagna (material animosity) and Chandra lagna (emotional imbalance):

1. Karkata radix lagna + Karkata Chandra[ Jawaharlal Nehru, Katie Holmes]

2. Karkata radix lagna + Thula Chandra

3. Karkata Chandra + Thula lagna [ Tom Cruise (actor)]

Shukra

L-4+ L-11

Money and Finance

Special opportunity for financial gainprovided by Shukra = karaka for wealth = L-11 for economic wealth via marketplace gains and L-4 for wealth via owned properties, shelters, vehicles. If Shukra is well-placed the Karkata native can expect significant wealth in Vimshottari periods of Shukra.

Feminine Partners

Shukra has special importance for male nativities, wherein Shukra represents the female (or feminized) partner.

• From the Karkata lagna+ L-4 and L-11 Shukra is favorable for partnership (with partners of either gender, both personal and business) with well-educated or land-holding (4) persons who are naturally gainful (11) due to being socially and aesthetically well-connected.

• The female partner is inclined to be a housewife or at least quite home-loving, yet she is gainful. Through her, the couple may enjoy an active social network. She may be an educator and she will take a strong interest in the children's education to insure their own income.

Wealth via Home, Place, Schooling, Belongingness

• Shukra is by and large a beneficial graha for Karka lagna, bringingsensual sweetness to the schooling and'roots' experience of belonging to a place or an ethnic culture (4).

Wealth via socializing, networks, principled living

• Shukra also brings the attributes of wealth and pleasure into one'slife principles, large social networks andgainful market relationships.

• the native loves one's homeland and one's network of those holding similar life principles; socializing with the wealthy and beautiful tends to increase one's income.

Seva

• Seva can empower wealth for this native. Seva target = networked assistance via large organizations which provide financial support and arrange alliances. Service targets those needing organized, principled support to establish secure homes and schools, particularly mothers and children and those concerned with the environment of early childhood protection and cultural education.

Example of an exceptionally well-placed Shukra (in lagna in virtually all of the varga) performing this variety of Seva:

• Angelina Jolie

Badhaka-sthana = Vrishabha

• L-11 Shukra = the badhaka lord for Karkata lagna(Badhakaor"harming"houses = the 9th from a fixed lagna, 7th from a changeable lagna, and 11th from a cardinal lagna.)

• bhava-11 from Karkata lagna = Vrishabha = the primary "Badhaka" or harm-causing domain.

• Cardinal ( moveable) lagna typically has some trouble from the elder sibling, from friendly association, from the marketplace, from the nature or method of setting goals, from achievements and profits.

• If Shukra is damaged, some considerable troubles involving one's network of friendly association. In periods of Shukra, one may suffer peer-pressure from friends with low self-esteem, or fall in with a greedy or pleasure-mismanaging crowd. the native may suffer isolation or the identity is oppressed by herd mentalityor crowd movements.

Karkata lagna natives sometimes voice their dislike of bankers and large herders rather vociferously.

For example,

• both Huey P. Long the populist governor-senator of Louisiana and the Industrialist entrepreneur Henry Ford were accused of anti-Semitism because of their public statements against "money-lenders". Both however denied any prejudice against any race or ethnicity; rather, they said, they simply hated the class of bankers (Vrishabha) who (they believed) were forever the ruination of the working classes.

• Prince Charles has come out against large-scale cattle operations (during the Mad Cow disease epidemic) and also against large-scale genetic seed manipulation (seed storage also = Vrishabha-2, 11th from 4th farmland.)

Periods of Shukra may bring forward an agent in the figure of a friend, mentor, elder sibling, or marketplace associate - typically a female - who (often inadvertently) causes harm to the native via addictive or excessively sensual behavior, obsession with money or physical beauty, and generally materialistic values.

• Commonly this agent functions as a banker, herder-hoarder, collector, possessor (or re-possessor), treasurer, warehouser, librarian, custodian of items, storage-storekeeper, historian, or other 'cattle-collecting' behavior of Vrishabha.

This badhaka agent must be handled with compassion, in the knowledge that this harm-causing agent is merely a projection of one's own unrealized attraction to the process of entering into new connections with people and ideas that are deeply sensual and earth-bound in nature.

Difficult graha in occupation of labha bhava or Shukra drishti upon bhava-11 may exacerbate the badhaka agency.

Shani

L-7+ L-8

Shani controls marriagefor Karkata. Of course this is not easy for the native . Much discipline and accepting lower status of the spouse, who may have strong Shani qualities of either common sense or stubbornness or both.

Spouse tends to be older, and hails from a lower social class than the native . Partner enters the marriage already equipped with matureworldview, strong dutyorientation, and usually some practical workingskills.

However unless Shani is very well placed, the burdensof marriage upon the native are heavy. The spousal character is rigid andinflexible, with little room for growth or change in the marriage. "Take it or leave it" is typically the spouse's attitude toward intentional change.

• Shani in bhava-6 or bhava-9 encourages religious sectarianism, great sense of duty in providing service to the sick and poor. A generous, if dogmatic, soul.

Marriage is burdensome from many perspectives, with the most challenging situations arising when the chronic neediness and compulsive emotional manipulations of Azlesa lagna are present.

Even for Karkata's more self-sufficient Punarvasu and Pushya portions, the native will often endure a classic Parashari marriage structure due to Shani-ruled elderly, impecunious, or unsuitable spouse.

Cancer lagna has an unusually strong impulse to marry a parental figurein search of shelter, survival, and social dignity.

• For Karkata female nativity: If 9th-from-lagna and 9th-from-Chandra are well-disposed, Karkata may choose a parental type of spouse who is nonetheless compatible. However when 9th-from- significations are damaged, the forecast for marriage is harmed.

Rahu = co-lord of the dusthamsha bhava-8 Kumbha, therefore Rahu-ratna (gomedha) is generally quite inauspicious unless the native has a specific purpose for enhancing the role of emergencies and sudden, forced changes in one's life.

For normal people with Karkata lagna a Gomedha is beyond consideration and should be completely avoided.

• Nevertheless, certain tantrik practitioners may benefit from wearing the Gomedha after close examination of their unique goals and intents.

• Also under the proper circumstances Rahu can support careers in surgery and transformative healing, emergency medical and disaster response, and management of confidential financial information.

Rahu in either rashi of maraka Shani = dangerous for Karkata lagna. Even for the specialized and rare tantrik targets, the Rahu-ratna should be considered only if the lord of bhava-8 and its occupants are exceptionally auspicious.

• Rahu and Ketu are said to give positive results in the 3rd, 6th, and 11th bhava from the lagna or from Chandra.

• In addition, some authorities posit that since R-K are exalted in Vrishabha-Vrischika (per BPHS), R-K will give good results when Mangala and Shukra are well-disposed.

• Numerous other schemes for evaluating the elusive aprakasha graha also exist. (More details in the summary provided by Dr. G.S. Kapoor .)

Rahu = co-lord of bhava-8 Kumbha, therefore Rahu-ratna (gomedha) therefore Even for these particular targets, prescribe the Rahu-ratna only if the lord of bhava-8 and its occupants are unusually auspicious.

Ketu's effects for Karkata lagna depend significantly on Ketu's bhava, rashi, and drishti. Ketu amplifies the effect of any graha who are sharing Ketu's house; and also Ketu magnifies the effects of the lord of His occupied Rashi.

Ketu = co-lord of bhava-5 Vrischikha, therefore Ketu-ratna may become a beneficial gem for the Karkata native. Ketu-ratna may be profitable if the native is positively involved in politics, theatre, or special services for children (not standard cultural indoctrination of the government schools, but rather something special such as musical training or other evocation of individual talent.)However even for these celebratory undertakings in the service of children, politicians, and thespians, the Ketu-ratna should be applied with caution and only if the lord of bhava-5 and its occupants are auspiciously placed.
