"Needs to Network"

Chandra in Kumbha = located in 8th-from-swakshetra = naturally difficult regarding for matters of constant de-struct-ion and re-creat-ionof the life force.

• the networked cellular structure of the physical body - especially its nervous system - is imbued with secret knowledge.

• Mysterious sources of wealth may become a tool for tantrik transformation - perhaps a deep spiritual healing.

• Yet, sudden and often catastrophic upheaval is usually the method for inducing each wave of emotional rebirth.

Chandra-Kumbha has an emotional need to socialize in a large assemblies. One feels a psycho-emotional instinct to attend enormous gatherings, mela and fayres, expositions and conferences, mega-concerts, large parties, community meetings. Likes fundraisingand community development.

Deep emotional affinity for the masses, the proletariat, the hoi-polloi

• Martin Luther King, Jr.

• St Therese de Lisieux

• Dale Earnhardt

Kumbha is a sign of large, regulated, complex "marketplace" systems. Kumbha's network transactions may be extremely diverse in appearance but they are all ultimately regulated by a complex set of conceptual principles.

Kumbha rules the common people, the masses, the gigantic and extremely complex but indeed rule-driven network of human communications.

When this native looks in the mirror, one sees a Facilitator,a large-scale event organizer and mingler of peoples, a sort of a human switchboard that createsnetworks of communication between individuals and groups.

• Benjamin Franklin

• Hillary Clinton

Kumbha rules the marketplace. This person is the beadle, the herald, the interlocutor, gossipmonger, and group-to-group liaison. A fundamental need is to link mutually interested people with each other, thereby sharing ideas and opportunities, expanding participation, merging cultures, and enjoying a commercial profit.

One's actual success (or not) in profitably interconnecting the people, ideas, and cultures, depends on the planetary health of Shani.

If Chandra's lord Shani is swakshetra(in Makara, Kumbha) or uchcha(in Thula) the native may operate in the higher echelons of the marketplace, perhaps in government or diplomatic circles. Shani in Kumbha itself is emotionally overwrought, creating a lifelong Saade Sati with traumatic separations from loved ones, yet the native presses on in career.

Uchcha Shani is exceptionally fortunate for this Moon: granting excellent judgment and intuitive recognition of the shared properties which naturally place individuals into affinity groups.

If you have a Kumbha-Soma person in your life, be sure to return their phone calls, attend their parties, and be amazed at their group intelligence. They are trying to connect you to members of the marketplacewho like you, and can help you.

This is their genius. Also, recognize that Kumbha is an excessively mentalized place for the Moon. Soma-Kumbha tends to over-think and under-emote, making them high-strung and overly busy. Shani-dominated, they crave material results. They may need encouragement to slow down, smell the roses, and sleep!

• Kumbha-Chandra are futuristic, scientific folk who tend to have emotional conflict with parochial customs and the parents esp Mother yielding insecurity as a result.

Children will want to join every club and attend every school event. Lovers will want to throw dinner parties and plan fundraiser galas - to dazzle the crowd for you, of course.

Parents see family as part of a larger community; they are less emotionally close with youngsters but more helpful to grown children, starting careers, making connections etc.

Bosses thrive in marketing, development, or event planning... where they do exceptionally good work. They will make it their business to know your business. Make sure your business is a good thing to know about!

For the most advanced comes an occupational hazard of philosophy: this native may attempt to realize too many simultaneous connections. Overload "blows a circuit" and produces the uniquely peculiar Kumbha type of withdrawn, nervous, anxious illness known to experienced Jyotishi.

"center of attention, celebrity, royalty, genius, brilliance, games, amusements, politics, theatre"

7th from Kumbha-Chandra = Simha.

• The partner = "center of attention".

the native is a networker, fundraiser, social-progress activist, systems-developer, or socialite (in Dhanishtha). Often, at different phases of life, the native will explore a variety of expressions of the fundamental need to provide systematically expanded economic-participation opportunities for others.

All of the Chandra-Kumbha expressions have in common an intuition for social networking; thus the Chandra-Kumbha native can play a critically important role in the social-material success of their more flamboyant, more self-centered, and more visible spouse.

Chandra-Kumbha is often half of a busy, ambitious marital partnership with a talented and entitled attention-craving spouse.

Spouse-partner may have political (Simha) gifts and aspirations toward celebrity or royalty; alternatively, the charisma of Simha can express in theatrical drama and literary creativity.

The partner is in some sense kingly-queenly, a center of attention and admiration within the local social circle.

For example, the partner can be an important (or self-important) local politician, a charismatic and fashionable socialite, or a "rising star" executive careerist within a business corporation. The partner has a personality and a position that is bright and central within the local environment.

The partner tends to be somewhat self-reflexive in their approach to life, rather self-centrist and solipsistic, but often quite amusing and entertaining as well.

Simha-partner can be a charming foil to the rather pragmatic and sober Kumbha-Chandra, but the natural animosity between Shani and Surya will also create some problems in this union.

Careful management of Kumbha's sobriety-lawfulness versus the personalized entitlement of the Simha agent will prove essential in the union.

Examples:

• Pat Nixon's husband = politician and author USA Pres-37, Richard Nixon. This lifetime couple met when both were performing roles in a community playhouse theatre (Simha)
• dramatic actress Grace Kelly = Prince Rainier, head of the royalhouse of Monaco. They met in context of her theatrical performance (Simha)
• Diana Spencer'shusband Prince Charles was the heir apparent to theroyal house of England
• J.R.R. Tolkien's wife Edith was an aspiring actress, and in later life she became an elite entertaining socialite (Simha)
• Lisa Marie Presley's numerous husbands = stage performers and entertainment producers (Simha)
• Elvis Presley's wife Priscilla Presley= a dramatic actress and entertainment producer (Simha)
• Hillary Clinton's husband = USA Pres-42, Bill Clinton career politician (Simha)
• Betty Ford 's husband = USA-Pres 38 Gerald Ford career politician (Simha)

• Shukra = badhesha
• Shani = Kumbha-pati = friend of Shukra.
• Vimshottari dasha periods of Shukra = mix of benefits and obstructions (badha) for Kumbha-Chandra.
