Chandra in Makara, as lord of 7th-from-itself, is naturally auspicious for matters of legal negotiation, crafting of contracts and alliances, and balanced social relationships.

"Bred for position."

• his person wants to conform and needs to conform to the role indicated by one's rank in a hierarchical social structure.

• When the native looks in the mirror, one sees a regulator,a giver of rules, systems and policies which enable coherent human social order.

A fundamental need to detect social mores, zones of behavioral normalcy, and enforce conformity to the norms expressed in those zones.

• Makara represents Hierarchies, the organized rule-driven ritually enforced systems of caste, class, and position which define all societies.

• Moon being the seat of emotional sensitivity and genius, Soma-Makara is most sensitive to matters of propriety, observation of ritual and custom, correct procedure and protocol, and censure for non-conformance.

Their actual success (or not) in properly absorbing and enforcing social standards, depends on the health of Shani.

If Chandra's lord Shani = swakshetra(Makara, Kumbha) or uchcha(Thula) the native will be a superbly regulated citizen, taking active responsibility for identifying and imposing rules of order. They will serve on juries, endure long hours of public policy meetings, and eventually become high-level administrators in corporations and government.

One cares deeply for the well-being of the ordered social entity, of the state. Natives are industrious providers and voices of established order, worldwide.

Shani in Makara itself is emotionally exhausting, creating a lifelong Saade Sati with traumatic separations from loved ones, yet the native presses on in public service.

• UchchamshaShani (in Thula) is exceptionally fortunate in 10th-from-Chandra: granting a superb career in public service, excellent conduct at high levels, accurate intuition of social cues.

Have a Makara-Soma person in your life? Appreciate the fact that orderly normalcy brings them social comfort. Don't embarrass them with eccentric behaviors.

Avoid making jokes at their expense. Makara-Chandra are not quick with the witty repartee. Rather, allow their solid pragmatic style to add a welcome dose of sanity into your life.

These folks do not like to be overextended, and they positively need to draw from their own resources. Neither a lender nor borrower be. Steering toward the middle may not always be exciting, but it will never be wrong!

Children may have anxiety about conforming; they must feel secure in knowing and following the rules. Eccentric, "creative" parents upset them; they need normalcy. They do not want to become celebrities; they just want to fit it. Parents and bosses are delightfully conventional, dependable, and the very souls of public service. Lovely, sturdy folk.

Parenting = Chandra-Makara

Wealth

Chandra in Makara = wealth from Shani lord of 2nd from Makara

Contractual Partnerships and Trusts = 7th-from-Makara Chandra = Karkata

7th from Makara-Chandra = Karkata. The partner = "home-maker, groundsman, protector, patriot, caretaker of the Land".

The spouse is often a schoolteacher, home-maker, primary parent, landsman, or concerned with marine life and lifestyle. The spouse is nearly always a staunch and fervent national patriot as well.

Typically this spouse does not want to be in the center of attention; Karkata = 12th from Simha, and Karkata wants a safe, grounded home routine with minimal public duty. However if the spouse perceives that additional security can be gained from performing public duties in support of the Chandra-Makara (who tend to want roles in government, institutions, or large corporations) then the home-preferring spouse will accept some amount of necessary public duty whilst self-protectively remaining a securely private person.

Examples:

• USA Pres-37,Richard Nixon's wife Pat Nixon was a schoolteacher who worked tirelessly in support of her husband's government career yet maintained a defensively protected home life for her family.

• William Butler Yeats' wife and his lady-loves were all staunch supporters of Irish nationality, profound patriots and dedicated mothers.

6th-from Makara = disagreement-distrust-dispute-divorce = Mithuna

• Mangala = badhesha

• Shani = Makara-pati = enemy of Mangala.

• Vimshottari dasha periods of Mangala = particularly full of obstructions (badha) for Makara-Chandra.

  • (Thus one born in the Makara portion of Chandra-Dhanishtha may have a difficult time in the earliest years of the incarnation.)
