  • singer Carla Bruni Sarkozy (3)

  • singer Maria Callas

  • dramatist Jack Nicholson

  • political advisor Donald Rumsfeld

  • political matriarch Rose Kennedy

Chandra in Simha = lord of 2nd-from-swakshetra = emotionally concerned with matters of wealth and knowledge hoards; historical collections; face and hair; language, speech and song; maintenance of the treasury of lineage values.

Very sensitive heart and spine.

  • emotional need to be the bright center of attention.

  • Emotional affinity for "top of the mountain"= high places, peak experience, brilliant entertainment, political empowerment, celebrity events, summit meetings, royal enthronement

  • needs to be in high places, either physically or socially

  • wants to be in the eye of environment: mountain peak, center of the party, glittering political-celebrity figure, focus of the gaze


"Bred for admiration". As a reflection of the Sun, Chandra in Simha needs to be noticed, to be welcomed, to be praised for brilliant and life-affirming truth. One flourishes in environments where one receives and generates plenty of attention.

Emotional affinity for entertainments and amusements; theatre and politics; glamour, costume, pomp and circumstance.

Yet the native rarely desires that one's own personality should become the central focus of attention (as would be the natural proclivity with Surya-Simha). With Chandra in Simha, one's goal is to direct the attention of the audience to some variety of Great Ideal.

Exceptions =

  • Castro = yuti Surya+ Kuja + Budha;

  • Madonna = yuti Budha, parivartamsha Surya.

One needs to feel the warm, appreciative, applauding love of those who can perceive the presence of divine intelligence in the native , knowing that the native is simply of reflection of this brilliance not the source of it.


When this native looks in the mirror, one sees a Monarch; a giver of blessing, peace, and prosperity; and an authoritative, elegant, and charismatic leader. Fundamental drive is to provide ceremonial leadership to their people.

Serves as an icon of moral, aesthetic, and rational living. Actual success (or not) in holding a respected, celebrated, emulated position in their world (however big or small that world might be) depends on the health of Surya.


If Surya = swakshetra (Simha) or uchchamsha(Mesha) the native may achieve celebrity status at some level, usually via association with a Great Ideal.

Surya will generally be strong as a prerequisite to notoriety or fame in the nativities of most public figures.

When Chandra occupies Simha rashi, Surya's power to call attention to the native's appearance, visibility = "darshan" is further heightened.

  • "Harry Potter" writer J.K. Rowling = Surya parivartamsha Chandra (very strong)

  • entertainer, writer Madonna = Surya parivartamsha Chandra (very strong)

  • philosophical teacher H. H. Dalai Lama = Surya in Mithuna lagna + Budha (very strong)

  • dramatist Julia Roberts = Surya parivartamsha Shukra (quite strong)

One might be the most politically idealistic member of the peer group; the most creative, beloved Scout leader in the state; the most popular philosophy professor in the university; or the sharpest young executive director in the company.

Delights to participate in ceremonies; receiving and giving awards and prizes; holding their scepter; wearing magnificent raiment... (just kidding - but these folks really do dress for success.)


If you have a Simha-Soma person in your life, be sure to give them plenty of admiring attention-- and a generous clothing budget. If they don't receive positive attention, they will start working to get negative attention. Just as true of a lover as it is of a child, parent, co-worker, or boss.

Try to reinforce their moral intelligence and praise them for putting the needs of their people :) before their own. Model for them the true aristocratic attitude, which treats everyone with full respect.

Contractual Partnerships and Trusts = 7th-from-Simha-Chandra = Kumbha

7th from Simha-Chandra = Kumbha. The partner = "social-conceptual-political-economic networker; fundraiser-earner; social activist".

Parenting = Chandra-Simha

The Simha-Chandra parent wants children to be bright, admired, entitled with rights, and politically empowered.

Difficult Angles:

  • 12th-from Simha-Chandra = Karkata

  • 6th-from Simha-Chandra = Makara

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

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

  • all things Karkata 12th from Simha: parents and parenting, the Old and Customary Ways, property ownership, vehicles and shelters, schooling, nourishment,


emotional conflict = 6th-from Simha = disagreement-distrust-dispute-divorce = Makara

  • Simha-Chandra is a confident, bright royal figure who has emotional conflict with darkly rigid social laws and restrictive hierarchies.

  • Government bureaucrats and bitter, petty, or legalistic people can pinch their (perceived) genius.

Badhaka angle for a Sthira rashi = 9th from Simha-Chandra = Mesha = badhesha = Mangala

Saravali, Ch. 23, Shloka 30

"If the Moon is in Leo, one

  • will have sturdy bones, sparse hair, wide face, small and yellowish eyes,

  • will hate women,

  • will suffer from hunger and thirst,

  • will incur stomach disorders and tooth-decay,

  • will eat flesh,

  • be charitable, harsh,

  • will have few sons,

  • will seek sexual union in forests and hills,

  • be respectfully disposed to his mother,

  • will have broad chest,

  • be valorous, dutiful

  • and will have majestic looks. "
