General Suitability of Gems for Kanya Lagna

  1. Surya ratna = no, because Surya = L-12 and does not rules any other good house

  2. Chandra ratna = no, because Chandra = L-11 and does not rules any other good house

  3. Mangala ratna = no-no-no, because Mangala = L-3 and L-8

  4. Budha ratna = yes always, because ratna for the lagnesha is always beneficial, as Budha = L-10 boosting career

  5. Guru ratna = maybe, if Guru is also a favorable house-lord from Chandra, because Guru has a good social-relations portfolio as  L-4 and L-7

  6. Shukra ratna = yes, unless person is close to death. Shukra = marana-karaka L-2 and He is also the excellent dharma-pati

  7. Shani ratna = yes, with caution - because Shani = L-5 and L-6

  8. Rahu-ratna = unknown, depends on Rahu's lord

  9. Ketu-ratna = unknown, depends on Ketu's lord

There are exceptions to all of these general rules. Exceptions are caused by the position of Chandra, the active Vimshottari time lords, and the native 's personal goals inter alia.

Cataloguing Disenfranchisement and the Dissolution of Agreements

In personal life, the Kanya native is prone to carry out "Argumentation Dharma" in marriage and family relations.

  • The common expression of human argument is simply kvetching, complaining, and developing the mental practice of "victimology". Argumentation tends to become a repeating litany of "reasons" why the relationship is unsustainably unbalanced, contractual terms are not capable of being fulfilled, satisfaction is not ever expected to be obtained, etc.

    Kanya = defining problems.

    Thula = negotiating solutions.


  • All of Kanya's disabilities can be corrected by intentionally

  • reducing expectations of human intelligence and

  • increasing faith in divine intelligence.

Logical Argument

"Logos" = "The Word"

  • Similar to Budha's other rashi, Mithuna, Kanya is concerned with mental transactions and communication. However Kanya's specialty is the logical categorization of information with the ultimate purpose of Organizing a detailed argument.

  • The Kanya-lagna native is concerned in this life with establishment of the word-based argumentative reasoning process. As a result, Kanya emphasizes the rules of argument in preference to the content of the claims.

  • Kanya = natural analyst re: nearly any academic discipline or subject matter.

 Similar to Budha's other rashi, Mithuna, Kanya is concerned with mental transactions and communication.

However Kanya's specialty is the logical categorization of information with the ultimate purpose of organizing a detailed argument.

  • The Kanya-lagna native is concerned in this life with establishment of the word-based argumentative reasoning process. As a result, Kanya emphasizes the rules of argument in preference to the content of the claims.

  • the native is a Budha-ruled Kanya is a "quick study" who rapidly acquires vocabulary, methodology, and expertise.

  • 'victimology' (the problematizing argumentation of ego-attachment to suffering)

Medicine

plant_Medicine.jpgBudha = Hermes= the wings on the caduceus

  • Attention to the organization and planning of detailed arguments may lead to vivid success in academic, scientific, and political professions.

  • Diagnosis has an essential intuitive component = Meena; communication between physician and patient = Mithuna; and treatment plan = Kanya. If intuitive Meena is also strong, Kanya can be brilliantly gifted in medical practice .

  • Kanya's ability to inventory and catalogue facts may generate a tremendous knowledge of medicines, treatment modalities, systems of medical thought, and risk factors. (The same medical genius is also often present when several strong graha gather in bhava-6.)

  • Other human services ministry such as social work and police work with criminals is also supported by Kanya problem-solving mentality.

Internal Criticism and Self-Doubt

  • As the natural sixth rashi, Kanya's position in 12th-from-7th = loss of balance, is always problematic. 7th = trust. Self-doubt arises in the human mind, on the basis of a lack of trust.

  • There are many benefits to a well-composed logical argument, but these benefits obtain only when the mind is calm and objective, free of emotional interference. Mixed with even the slightest amount of past-life trauma, guilt, anger, or vindictiveness, the Kanya rashi can become a bitter terrain, littered with the corpses of mental war.

  • The two largest demons of mental health are not anger, grief, addiction, lust or rage - but rather, internal criticism and self-doubt.

  • Except for Budha, who gives very excellent results in Kanya, most graha suffer some negative impact in the sign of "dissolution of agreement".

Natural communities, friendship networks, and sangha

Karkata: befriends the home-landers, home-owners, parents and caretakers; stewards and custodians;

those less concerned with drama, fashion or politics; schools and schoolteachers, those who care for buildings and vehicles; the security-oriented

Karkata dislikes

6th-from-karkata = Dhanushya = things toward which Karkata is hostile:

  • Karkata likes staying home in familiar surroundings and dislikes world travel for purposes of learning (Dhanushya)

  • Karkata likes home and dislikes the temple

  • Karkata likes local ethnic customs and dislikes the broader international viewpoint (9)

  • Karkata likes simple and absolute tribal ethics and dislikes both compassion and sacred texts (9)

  • Karkata prefers the mother (4) and dislikes the father (9)

  • Karkata likes the cool ocean breezes and dislikes the hot dry open plains where the archers practice shooting (9)

  • Karkata likes safety and security and dislikes adventure

  • Karkata likes to guard boundaries and fears the threat to fixed customs posed by travel and higher learning

  • Karkata likes the protective emotions and dislikes philosophical thought

  • Karkata likes foundational, cultural-indoctrination schooling and dislikes conceptual, university level of inquiry

Cleaning the Psychic and Physical Space


H.H. Tenzin Gyatso, Path to Bliss: A Practical Guide to Stages of Meditation. Geshe Thubten Jinpa (Trans.), Christine Cox (Ed.)

"The environment where you are doing the meditation should be properly cleaned.

While cleaning,

  • you should cultivate the motivation that since you are engaged in the task of accumulating great stores of merit by inviting the hosts of buddhas and bodhisattvas to this environment, it is important to have a clean place.

  • You should see that all the external dirt and dust around you is basically a manifestation of the faults and stains within your own mind.

  • You should see that the most important aim is to purge these stains and faults from within your mind.

Therefore, as you cleanse the environment, think that you are also purifying your mind.

Develop the very strong thought that by cleaning this place you are inviting the host of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who are the most supreme merit field, and that you will subsequently engage in a path that will enable you to purge your mind of the stains of delusions."

In all your designs you will succeed,

and light will shine on your path.

~~ Job 22:28
