Angelico_Fra_2010-Coronation_of_the_Virgin_detail-1434.jpgChandra in Guru-ruled Meena, as lord of 5th-from-itself, is inherently auspicious for matters of politics and theatre, gaming and speculation, creative intelligence, literature and performance arts, and most of all children.

the native may find that whatever difficulties come into one's path, the transcendent enjoyment of children will restore awareness of the presence of the divine.

Like Pushan the Ferryman, the native is constantly traveling between two worlds:

  • the adult world + the child world,

  • the material-social present-time world + the astral spirit-guide world,

  • inner intuitive dream world + the outer time-space work world.

One possesses a natural affinity for children, all forms of teaching, and transactions which occur upon the bridge between the astral world and the material world.

  • A social recognized teaching profession may be indicated if Guru also rules the 10th navamsha.


As lord of the natural 12th house, Soma is "Bred for imagination." the native ponders the depth and breadth of the cosmos, searching for the "conduits"= conduction routes of Pushan the cowherd, which connect one field of meaning to the next. Meena is a sign of oceans, dolphins, universes, children, symbols, and dreams. It is the land of the astral bridge, the interstitial or liminal realities of dreams and illusions, a world of swirling images and the pathways between them.

When this native looks in the mirror, s/he sees a Visionary, a dream reader, an energy gauge, broad knower and commenter-upon vast movements in history and civilization.

Soma-Meena is enchanted by children and spirits; magnetically attracts them; speaks for them. These natives channel a vast intuitive creativity. Yet the results may manifest solely on the astral plane, invisible to most humans. They neither seek nor decline the teaching role for which their wisdom suits them.

The fundamental emotional urge is to deepen one's understanding of the infinitely complex and subtle relationships between all beings. One's actual success (or not) in absorbing the knowledge and providing inspirational or intuitive guidance to others, depends on the vitality of Guru.


If Guru = swakshetra(Dhanushya, Meena) or uchchamsha(Karkata) the native = highly gifted with intuitive intelligence. One displays a breadth of knowledge in wide-cast fields such as economics, philosophy, and history.

  • In Dhanusha, Guru occupies 10th-from-Chandra, highly auspicious for careers in visionary science, research professorships, religious leadership.

  • In Karkata, Guru casts drishti upon Soma, favorable for all matters of children, self-expression, speculation, and performance arts.

In Meena, brilliant intuition and very fertile, but rashi lagna here determines whether there is material distinction or not.


If you have a Meena-Soma person in your life, honor their knowledge of past, present, and future. History really does repeat itself. Listen to their long stories; allow them to interpret your dreams.


Chandra-Meena folk know you; they know all humankind. They utilize guidance from life forms which others might not be able to access; they have psychic and spiritual "trail-guide" information which others might not recognize or value.

They can show you the way out of suffering, by compassionately pointing out the errors of the past, the suffering of the present, and wisdom of your future. Don't punish their apparent indecisiveness.


Chandra-Meena folk = sensing subtle patterns in the great psychic ocean which surrounds us (the astral plane) - give them time. Children will be especially sensitive to psycho-emotional fluctuations; they require protection from hard-shelled predators.

Parents and bosses may seem vague and indefinite; give them time, too, to find the most compassionate way. The time you spend waiting for Meena-Soma wisdom is a valuable spiritual investment.


Parenting = Chandra-Meena

Chandra-Meena's parenting style = guidance, suggestion, cultivation of the children's imagination, offering children the gift of privacy, the gift of meditation, the gift of prayer and communion with the spirits.

Children are shown the visionary bridge between the worlds of material life and the worlds of the ancestors, the path to self-realization, and the reality of spirit.

Chandra-Meena parents want above all "self-realized" and intuitive children who understand the nature of their own imaginative spiritual pathway

Difficult Angles:

  • 12th-from Meena-Chandra = Kumbha

  • 6th-from Meena-Chandra = Simha

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

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

are caused by

  • social networks, gains of income, the process of obtaining marketplace earnings, gaining of material and social achievements, friendship-networking, community development, large-group social-change movements, fund-raising for social progress aims

  • whichever bhava = 12th-from-Chandra will cause emotional exhaustion

  • for this reason, Meena-Chandra folk tend to limit their social engagements and avoid participation in the Kumbha-hollow "agora" (marketplace, crowds, assemblies, large mixes of people)

however they flourish when in any type of "guidance" role, especially the explicitly psychic guru-guide or when shepherding children like the Pied Piper of Hamlin


6th-from Meena = disagreement-distrust-dispute-divorce = SimhaSimha

  • Meena-Chandra = imaginative, clairvoyant beings

  • tend to have emotional disappointment with an insensitive, self-centered father and father-figures,

  • dislikes politics and politicians

  • dislikes center-stage entitlements (Simha)but has wisdom to impart

  • 6th-from angle to Simha yields lifelong ego-conflicts with father-king-"self-entitled" male figures

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

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

Perhaps the most difficult of the 12 marriage angles, 7th from Meena-Chandra = Kanya. The partner = "disagreement and criticism" = can't be pleased".

Partners often develop health problems (Kanya). The disease condition is not always obvious at the time of marriage ceremony, but often the condition is indeed known to both parties and they accept this reality.

Meena = a shepherd-guide-healer (Pazu-pati) and Meena will try to correct the spousal imbalance by "showing the Way". However often the unhealthy condition is deeply karmic in nature and acceptance of the partner's disease is ultimately required.

Any graha in Kanya rashi will add focus to Kanya's inherent lack of equability. For example, uchcha Budha may indicate high craft in logical (Budha) argumentativeness and computation (attorneys, mathematicians, financiers) while neechcha Shukra might indicate private (12) relationships with women (Shukra) which are adversarial (12th from 7th) to marriage.

Kanya's ruler Lord Budha is a very impressionable graha; therefore the disposition of Budha must be known before drawing any conclusions about the nature of Chandra-Meena's alliances.

One positive expression of 7th-from-Meena-Chandra = Kanya's affiliation with professional medicine. The Meena-Chandra native who partners with a physician, pharmacist, maker of medicaments, curadera, or other medical practitioner may have better results.


Kanya's out-of-balance condition can manifest inherent disharmony at several levels:

  • physical illness = such as digestive-intestinal disorder (Kanya) or Vishuddha chakra disease = voice-hand-arm-shoulder-lung (Budha) . Also, infections, drug-alcohol addictions, diseases of environmental toxicity such as servitude in unclean or polluted places.

  • social illness = "can't be pleased", petulant, complaining, vindictive criticizing and other relationship-sabotage, criminal and adversarial behaviors, anti-social narratives, imbalanced dominant-subordinate relationships; chronic servitude or slavery, rejection of diplomatic solutions, unwillingness to accept settlements, litigiousness (threatening to fight with lawsuits) inability to keep promises = infidelity, lying, repeating cycles of marriage-divorce, eexploitive behaviors, domestic violence, generational poverty; multiple partners, displeased with all of them

  • mental illness = such as chronic blaming, argumentativeness, excessively submissive or excessively dominating inner narratives, paranoia, oppositional-defiant syndrome, bi-polar and related disorders, fear of balanced mental state, narcissism (lack of empathy for others) chronic self-disruption

  • emotional illness = such as victim-mind, chronic distrustfulness,, self-humiliation, fear of balance, fear of agreements, expectant need to be exploited or dehumanized, chronic self-invalidation

  • spiritual illness = such as inability to accept any proposed set of spiritual principles, chronic atheism, rejection of cooperative agreement with divine presence, refusal to balance the mind, incapacity to meditate

Examples:

  • Catherine Zeta-Jones = her husband (dramatist-producer) Michael Douglas developed advanced "Vishuddha" disease = throat cancer within their first decade of marriage.

  • Michael Douglas (dramatist, producer) = his 2nd wife Catherine Zeta-Jones entered the marriage with the "bi-polar" brain-behavioral condition, and this imbalance manifested with increasing visibility at times of stress (esp when her husband's physical health began to fail).

  • Dennis Hopper, a dramatist and artistic painter, suffered through five troublesome marriages with wrong-doing women (according to him). He claimed in court that his 5th wife had stolen (Kanya, crime) a collection of his paintings worth USD_millions.

Das says: of Moon = Meena

"... wavering, changeable, lacking in concentration and stability,

  • and although you remain positive about others, you are easily disturbed.

  • You are drawn to things which are not concrete, such as spirituality and philosophy.

  • learned, social, many disappointments,
