Chandra in Chitra

Ruled by moving, militaristic Mangala

Vivarini_Bartolomeo-St_Mary_Magdalen_c1450.jpg Chandra in Kanya = as lord of 3rd-from-Karkata-swakshetra = associated with matters of interactive communication, particularly writing; teams and small groups meetings, appointments, assignments, planning and scheduling.

In the more evolved nativity, there is a particular affinity for explanation and instruction of medical concept and hands-on (3) practice (Chopra) and a specialty of publications in one's ministry of service(Vivekananda).

In general, Chandra-Kanya is attracted into chronic conflicts . The Chitra portion of Kanya is legendary for Mangala-initiating conflict and confrontation using military threat.

Chandra-Kanya feels an emotional affinity for arguments, discord, medicines, enemies, the poor, the sick, the exploited, and the conflict-ridden.

"Bred for Analysis." the native needs to (1) have problems (2) define problems (3) argue the problems. Arguing the problem rarely results in a solution; this native is primarily an agent of logical articulation and definition of imbalance.

If Chandra is prominent, the native = famously associated with a particular variety of deep-seated human social problem.

  • writer Leo Tolstoy = aristocratic (Surya, uttaraphalguni) oppression of the peasants upon the land (4)

  • Looking into the mirror, one sees self as a criminal attorney, a minister to the poor, sick, and crime-ridden; a purveyor of methods and information, and a servant of greater powers.


Budha is able to offer a neutral home to all graha except Chandra, whom Budha overtly dislikes.

  • Chandra is such a hostile environment for Kanya, the mulatrikona rashi for Budha, that the native with Chandra in Kanya always feels unwelcome in their work environment. They have an emotional servitude complex.

  • They work hard to earn their welcome but these natives are self-critical and they feel (Chandra) that they have never done well enough. Usually they work many extra hours "burning the midnight oil" to assuage their emotional perfectionism. [Vivekananda, Blavatsky, Castro]

  • and also usually these natives will go to their graves feeling that there is much more work needing to be done.


Budha-ruled Kanya = a sterile rashi which tends, overall, to yield limited emotional satisfaction. Yet, a ministry of service to the disenfranchised underclass- to the point of martyrdom - may provide a deeply satisfying emotional process.

The Kanya-Chandra native = profoundly service oriented. One needs to feel that their constant, unswerving service rendered through plying the trades of medicine and conflict management is duly appreciated. One's fundamental emotional need is to provide a logical, well-argued, ministerial response to the emotional needs of others.


If Budha = swakshetra(Mithuna) or uchchamsha(Kanya) the native will be strikingly intelligent if somewhat emotionally repressed. There is a tendency to conflate mental and emotional perceptions. However, mental discrimination is excellent.

Typically Kanya Moon folk have an amazing sense of humor, arising from their skill in finding personal quirks. They are shrewd students of human nature. What they don't have: steady, convincing access to intuition. Tends toward a state of cognitive dissonance unless highly educated. Their intuition is often overwhelmed by rules, dogma, and opinion - because strong Budha overwhelms Moon.

Chandra in Kanya = emotional perfectionismwith a deeply material focus.

the native is always longing for a cleaner, tidier, better organized world in which everyone takes their medicine on time. In the mind's eye, one pines for a world feel of material imperfection.

  • If Chandra is damaged or yuti Rahu, may be obsessively concern with or reaction to perceived 'pollution' when social categories are violated.

  • A tendency to replace authentic emotion with mentalized thought. the native may not know what one feels, how one feels, or have access to the childhood memories.

  • When asked what one is feeling, the native may respond with an observation or assessment "I feel that such-and-such is right or wrong or true or false" but to simply say "I feel sad" may not be accessible because Kanya's mentality has filtered out non-rational perceptions. The mother may be critical and perfectionistic also.

  • Diseases caused by perfectionistic eating habits, such as nutritional disorders; and psycho-mental self-criticism and self-doubt.

  • The difficulties of Chandra-Kanya may be substantially corrected through a parivartamsha with Budha-Karkata


If you have a Kanya-Soma person in your life, be sure to confirm and validate the service that they offer to you and to everyone they know.

  • Kanya-Soma folk are dedicated to improving the well-being of all beings, especially the poor, sick, marginalized and enslaved classes.

  • They express this dedicationthrough work service.

Discourage them from negative . Encourage their expression of positive principles such as their love of the weak, the powerless, and the forgotten. Kanya-Soma are (or can be) beautiful souls.

Contractual Partnerships and Trusts = 7th-from-Kanya-Chandra = Meena

7th from Kanya-Chandra = Meena. The partner = "guide upon the spiritual pathways".

For example:

  • USA Pres-43, George W. Bush has said that his wife Mrs. Laura Welch Bush = his spiritual adviser. He attributes to her influence his decision to stop drinking alcohol and to embrace a religiously guided lifestyle.

  • although married four times, the poet-professor Gary Snyder describes each of his spouses as a key spiritual guide matching the different paths taken during his life.

  • typical of the Kanya-Chandra, neither writer-engineer Nikola Tesla nor Swami Vivekananda ever married. They chose instead to form a primary union with the guiding spirits who counseled them and directed their visionary work.

Parenting = Chandra-Kanya

The Kanya-Chandra parent wants modest, service-oriented children.

Difficult Angles:

  • 12th-from Kanya-Chandra = Simha

  • 6th-from Kanya-Chandra = Kumbha

during Vimshottari periods of Chandra , Simha-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 Chandra-Kanya= disagreement-distrust-dispute-divorce = Kumbha

  • Kanya-Chandra = a delicately logical, somewhat self-critical, over-mentalized soul who has emotional conflict with large social-progress movements and huge gatherings of people.

  • Overwhelmed by the psychic electricity of groups.

  • Nervousness in the assembly can cause mis-articulation of speech.

Badhaka angle for a Dwiswa Rashi = 7th from Kanya = Meena = badhesha = Guru
