Chandra Soma Kumbha Moon in Aquarius - BP Lama Jyotisha Vedic Astrology

Chandra in Kumbha = located in 8th-from-swakshetra = naturally difficult regarding for matters of constant de-struct-ion and re-creat-ion of 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 fundraising and community development.

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

Kumbha = 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 Purvabhadra-Chandra looks in the mirror, one sees a Facilitator, a large-scale event organizer and mingler of peoples, a sort of a human switchboard that creates networks of communication between individuals and groups.

Kumbha rules the marketplace.

Purvabhadrapada-Chandra = 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 = 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 marketplace who 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!

Karkata = 6th from Kumbha

Lord of 6th from Kumbha occupies Kumbha

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.
dramatist, dancer Ginger Rogers had a very close friendship with her manager-mother. Yet during her glamorous career spanning 65 years in the public eye, Ginger was an agent of social transformation (8th from) regarding the customary home-based way of life for women (4). Five marriages, no children. Enjoyment of prizes (Shukra-5-Simha) fruitful investments, and extensive landed property (4). Her property-ownership style (Chandra) was considered "unbalanced" as it was not co-owned with her husbands. It was hers alone or hers + mother, which startled (8th from) customary people (4) at the time.

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.

Parenting = Chandra-Kumbha

Kumbha-Chandra parents want children who are skillful social networkers. Children may be encouraged to attend parties with their parents, participate in large gatherings, understand ranking within economic systems such as knowing who earns what amount of paycheck, and most importantly to learn how to make friends in several interlinked networks by continually expanding the scope of social participation.

5th-from-Kumbha = Mithunaya

Accounting, reporting, and conversation skills = important. Child has an articulate personality plus a strong bond with siblings, cousins, and friends.
Neighbors and extended family = beneficial for this child.

Wealth

Chandra in Kumbha = wealth from Guru = lord of 2nd-from-Kumbha

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

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

7th from Kumbha-Chandra = Simha.

Chandra-Kumbha is often the networking half of a busy, ambitious marital partnership with a talented and entitled attention-craving mate. Simha having solar-masculine valence, the pattern is more pronounced for females but can be evidenced for males as well.

example females:

dramatist, dancer Catherine Zeta-Jones married to elite celebrity and Hollywood cinematist Michael Douglas
Mrs. Mamie Doud Eisenhower was married to USA Pres-34 Dwight D. Eisenhower
Mrs. Pat Nixon was married to political power-seeker USA Pres-37 Richard Nixon
Mrs. Betty Ford married to political center-stage player USA Pres-38 Gerald Ford
USA Sen, Sec. of State Hillary Clinton married to attention-loving USA Pres-42 Bill Clinton
UK Princess Diana Spencer married to the celebrity apparent King of England
socialite Marla Maples Trump married to showman, erstwhile politician Donald Trump

The partner = "center of attention" whilst the native is a networker, fundraiser, social-progress activist, systems-developer, or socialite (in Dhanishtha).

Often, at different phases of life, the Chandra-Kumbha 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.

Not that Kumbha-Chandra must take a background role. If Simha is strong such as for dramatist, dancer Catherine Zeta-Jones whose Simha-Magha lagna contains Shukra + Ketu lord of Magha while Chandra yuti Rahu in her 7th bhava, then a power-couple emerges.

Similarly Hillary Clinton enjoys a parivartamsha yoga between her Purvabhadrapada Kumbha-Chandra and a distinguished "throne yoga" Shani-Karkata in bhava-10.

Although Shani delayed her public, professional achievements until the second half of life, she was elected to high government leadership in her own right earning two terms in the USA Senate and a five-year term as USA secretary of state.
Hillary's husband however like Zeta-Jones' husband remained very much in the celebrity spotlight even while her own career soared to top visibility and fame.

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 royal house of Monaco. They met in context of her theatrical performance (Simha)
Diana Spencer's husband Prince Charles was the heir apparent to theroyal house of England
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)

Difficult Angles:

12th-from Chandra-Kumbha = Makara
6th-from Chandra-Kumbha = Karkata

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

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

via:

agencies of government and social regulation
rules and restrictions
law and order

animosity via Karakata

Kumbha-Chandra are socially progressive, well-connected, crowd-loving folk who tend to suffer built-in emotional conflict with parochial customs and the parents. They do battle with the old habits of folk culture while at the same time craving its protective embrace.

Chandra = nurturing, sheltered eating. The karma centers upon Mother yielding a pattern of repeating emotional insecurity and often food issues as a result.

Elvis Presley = obesity, intestinal engorgement disorder, parents, emotional security
Hillary R. Clinton USA Sen + Sec. State = neechcha Kuja + Shani in 6th from Chandra
Princess Diana =bulimia, parents esp mother, emotional security

Adversaries = agents of Karkata

Mother, mother-figure, caretaker,
homeland, defense of property, emotional and social security
nurturer, protector, providers of shelter and protection
parents, school, school-teachers,

L-6 Chandra = Kumbha-Chandra implicitly feels imbalanced, annoyed and upset with:

mothers (she breaks promises), parents (fail to protect), caretakers such as babysitters (exploitive, may be abusive), nurturers (one never feels well cared for by women), schools and schoolteachers (domineering, task-list, slave-work) the ocean and marine workers.
The Kumbha-Chandra lifetime is easier if Karkata rashi has no tenant graha..

No matter how fortunate Chandra's character by rashi or bhava, Kumbha natives face an underlying karma of disappointment from women in general and from one's own victimized or overly-attached-to-the-past mother.

Can be mitigated via selfless service to ignorant, enslaved, or victimized women.

problematic 6th-from-Chandra= rashi of Karkata

Graha in Karkata represent emotional adversaries

the mother (Karkata) = somewhat inimical to one 's healthy emotional identity

Whichever bhava = Karkata and whatever graha are placed there = feels unbalanced, inequitable, or uneasy.

Agents of the bhava and especially the tenant graha = prone to break promises, induce toxicity, accuse, blame, exploit or disenfranchise one .

Method of enacting emotional animosity toward one is characteristic of Karkata: parental, sheltering, nurturing, but also binding and guilt-mongering.

Behavior of agents of L-6 from Chandra = Simha = apprehended by one as "addicted" to guilt, grief, mourning the past, attachment to parents and the land

E.g.,

Kumbha Chandra + Kanya radix lagna
Karkata bhava-7 = discomfort and imbalance in the marriage union.
If Mangala is strong and poorly placed, no matter how good other conditions might be in radix bhava-7, the fact that this house = 6th from Chandra makes it difficult to sustain a committed alliance.

Predisposition to Injury and Accident

Kumbha Chandra is somewhat prone to injury from Karkata things = ocean tides and currents, and effects of the Moon; also houses, schools, vehicles, and property-boundaries; and stomach disease. Often afraid to sail past sight of land. Imbalance in all things from the ocean, to the point of allergies to sea-food and ailment after ocean bathing; Kumbha is prone to be sea-sick. Cause of death (8th-from = Kanya) may be digestive system failure (esp. intestinal, colon).

L-8 = Budha lord of Kanya = friend of lagnesha Shani

emotional core is oriented to community and networking. One can generally rather easily withstand a significant upheaval to the emotional identity caused by Budha's messaging - perhaps "bad news" or other new instructions.

17 year-long Vimshottari periods of Budha = conditions of sudden emotional identity change induced by = conditions of sudden emotional identity change induced by arguments, litigation, discussions, broken contracts, frustration, fighting, verbal contest, bickering, quarreling, actions of siblings and team-mates, matters of publication and announcement, writing and media production.

Details of the circumstances of the catastrophic change are indicated by the rashi and bhava of Budha.

Badhaka angle for a Sthira rashi = 9th from Kumbha-Chandra = Thula = badhesha = Shukra

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

Das-Behari says:

Chandra-Kumbha in bhava-6

"... produces a special effect on the life of the person. There is an aura of secrecy about you. Soft-spoken, you easily gain another's confidence -- a confidence which you may later exploit for you own ends.

You are interested in education, fine arts, music, social organizations and political activities. As a result of these interests you gain a large number of friends and acquaintances.

But then, under the guise of such respectable associations, you may engage in seduction, adultery, misappropriation of wealth which does not belong to you, or the neglect of family.

You may become a member of secret or exclusive societies."

Das-Behari says:

Chandra-Kumbha in bhava-9

"This placement will produce luxurious conditions which you may not in all cases be able to enjoy.

You will however have the urge to work for others and share your wealth with the needy."

Chandra in Kumbha Rashi

Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra . p 190

"Tall slender persons, somewhat raw boned and muscular with muscles prominent in face and body; rather long necks, big feet and hands. When young, the hair grows down over the eyes - with a tendency to baldness as they grow older. Usually sandy or of fair complexion with a somewhat long face.

These people are strong and hard, physically courageous yet passive, passionate but kind hearted. While their bodies are made for hard physical work and endurance, yet their lives are nearly always lived on a high mental plane and they prefer mental activity to physical endeavor.

They are intelligent, deep thinkers, and extremely logical and scientific in their thought processes. They are quite likely to make a mark in the world because of their scientific attainments, although these are more often in the research field.

They read extensively and all the metaphysical sciences attract them. Yet they always keep both feet on the ground and do not permit their philosophical concepts to run wild, without the constant check of logical and scientific reasoning. They are extremely scornful of convention and are considered radical in their views because of their impatience with stupid and worn out ideas. They are the pioneers of new ideas, new thought, new inventions.

Their outlook according to their opportunity and environment, is national rather than provincial, international rather than patriotic, universal and cosmic rather than terrestrial, humanitarian rather than sectarian.

They abominate doctrine or dogma, custom and tradition, and for this reason are misunderstood and subject to criticism and even contumely from their fellow men.

But they remain indifferent and even joyous, being quite aware of their superiority yet at no time being arrogant or condescending about it.

They may suffer from weak or impaired eyesight due to reading too much.

The gem corresponding to this nature is the Blue Sapphire. The fortunate day is Saturday, and the colors are sea green and scarlet. "

Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra . p 202

"The women who are born when the Moon occupies the sign Aquarius, are noted for their beauty. In the Hindu legends, they are said to be as beautiful as the Moon.

They are gifted and sometimes brilliant, but fickle and at times odd in their behavior. They usually are born into wealthy, or at least well-to-do families. And if they are not, they will acquire wealth and social status by marriage.

They are imaginative and inventive, but their knowledge is not acquired from books, but rather is intuitive and inspirational. In fact, they dislike to apply themselves to any educational activity and are apt to fail in examinations at school, and generally the school years seem to be wasted. They love to be idle and seem to be able to absorb or to arrive at a knowledge of things without effort or study. They are somewhat wayward and vain, and at times their actions are exasperating to their friends and associates.

If they can get along without working, they will and usually do. They love the outdoor life and outdoor sports, but as spectators rather than participators.

While in the main they are healthy, they suffer from various troubles in connection with the feet and lower limbs, which are slender and weak in comparison with the other parts of the body. As they grow older, the eyesight will become impaired and in old age they are apt to have all sorts of queer, unusual diseases which may baffle diagnosis."

Chandra Mahadasha for Chandra in Kumbha Rashi

Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 235

"A period of reckless expenditure. The individual is prone to spend much more than he earns and will have great difficulty in paying his debts.

A close curb should be kept on these tendencies and a person entering this period should carefully budget his expenses and live within his income.

The urge towards hard reckless living and towards dissipation of his resources - not only his money but his health as well - is strong and can only be held in check by an exertion of will power."
