San Diego Museum of Art - www.sdmart.org


If multiple karakas occupy house-12, results of each karaka have to be combined and rebalanced with the other occupying karakas.


Graha in domain-12 require special handling in life. 

These graha give direct access to the astral plane imagery of dreams, emotions, hope, wishes, desires, fears... 

Domain-12 is a tremendously creative and intuitive realm. 

Yet the native must learn to distinguish the real experience of the astral realm from the real terrain of the physical realm! 

Else, fantasy, phobia or "denial" can consume the intuitive awareness.


Any graha which is uccha or swakshetra in domain-12 gives effective communication with the realm of the ancestors.

Surya

"Head in the clouds"

Powerful will to envision a better world and may be a gifted contemplative philosopher, but the material manifestation of the house ruled by Surya will be expressed only in the world of dreams. 

"Head in the clouds" and impractical in profession. Fantasizes oneself in many important or dramatic social roles, yet indeed remains unrecognized, "hiding one's light under a barrel". 

Confusion between real and imagined social identities can make a creative theatrical performer or a criminal impostor, depending on all the other graha in the nativity. If Surya is lagnesha, may be a public icon bringing the world of private imagination into the light of publicity. For Nakra lagna, the native's willpower is low, and one stays hidden in some reclusive place.


Das / Behari:

 

Chandra

"heart on a sleeve"

Great sensitivity to the creative world of children and a love of quiet, sanctuary spaces, but the material manifestation of the house ruled by Guru will be expressed only in the world of dreams. Favors meditation and touch healing.

The native absorbs emotions from others sponge-like with very low interpersonal boundaries; "wears their heart on their sleeve". Wonderful for working with children, the elderly, any gentle folk in a protected enclosed space. Wonderful for hands-on healers, massage therapists, any nurturing profession such as hospital nursing or infant care.

The native is idealistic in regard to their personal relationships, and may substitute a fantasy ideal of the beloved for a realistic view during a protracted period of time. One is frequently shocked and aghast at the impurity of real life, particularly the vulgar truth regarding one's partners. Will be happiest in enclosures such as hospitals, monasteries, camps, ashrams, and retreat centers; ideal for medical work in foreign lands. 


Das / Behari:

 

Kuja

"passive- aggressive"

Marvelous imagination for battles and may be a gifted war game designer, especially in combination with benefics. Good strength for physical work in hospitals, camps, prisons, ashrams. Yet,  the material manifestation of the two houses ruled by Kuja will be expressed only in the world of dreams. 

The native is rarely aware of their competitive, warrior-style feelings, resulting in passive-aggressive behavior. Repressed anger in the family, skeletons in the closet. Some inclination toward self-destruction. During periods of Mangala, may travel to foreign lands in order to engage in competitive events or foreign wars. 

Disturbed sleep due to restlessness and working out arguments in the dream space. Nightmares or feeling of being attacked in sleep. Abundant private sexual energy. If other factors support, Kuja in 12 is a karaka for illnesses due to suppressed anger.


Das / Behari:

Mars externalizes inherent tendencies. The 12th house being the repository of all one's past karmic forces & future possibilities, the presence of Mars here brings these forces to the surface. This is done in order to neutralize them so that you may be liberated from their binding effect. During this process you may often be unprepared to bear the pressure; your reaction creates further binding. 

Under the influence of Mars, you have the freedom either to liberate yourself from bondage and begin a new life or become more deeply immersed in layers of materiality. But if you have already cleared your past debts & no further undesirable forces are pending, your spiritual tendencies surface. In that case, you show genuine tendencies toward spirituality. 

Under negative conditions, you may be possessed by anger, lustful behavior, animosity against friends, depravity & criminality. When these tendencies are bravely faced, you may possibly free yourself to enter the heavenly gates of divine pleasure. If your past is already full of spiritual merit the Martian effect will externalize it, & you may be an inspiring spirit who helps others progress courageously

It is possible that some physical illness may afflict you if you have the seed of such an illness in your karmic past, even while you are engaged in your spiritual mission. Whoever has Mars in the 12th will be fortunate in respect of brother. You may be a glutton & sexy; but little pleasure from spouse. 2nd marriage comes. You are truthful, generous, excited; founder of some organization. 

[BPL note: 

the following Das/Behari readings are specific to Kuja in a variety of rashis & drishti positions. E.g., if Kuja = L-5 or L-9, without progeny. If Kuja = L-2 or L-11, potential for financial ruin. L-8 in domain-12 gives death in seclusion. 

In the ancient Sanskrita shloka chanting transmission system, the specific rashis or drishti is implied by the shloka sequence. Here we have to mentally insert the necessary conditions. Mars in domain-12 is not inherently catastrophic as these raw quotations can make it sound!]

Sometimes without progeny. Few children, absence of sons. Traveling abroad; debauch; success in 26th year. Frank but somewhat crude. Danger of falls, poison, accidents. Headaches, blood impurities, secret vice, dyspepsia in old age. No accumulation of wealth; loss through theft, advances or misplacement. ...  brings about financial ruin. It attacks with such weapons, so severely & powerfully that even the strongest body shows the wound marks. 

Rumors to defame; danger from thieves; disputes, strife or jealousy; trouble through servants; fear & sorrow due to dependence. A life of misfortunes. You may suffer immediate loss of wealth. Scandal. Danger from thieves, weapons, & enemies. Base, & depraved by own actions. 

You have a desire to extort others' wealth. Eyes transient, mind restless, mobile cheerful, strong, prosperous, debauch, despondent & successful in gaining your end. You are hostile; without wealth & spouse; rude with own family members; aggressive & inconsiderate; always tense. Eye trouble; mean; divulge secret information to the enemies; gets contempt & imprisonment. Death in seclusion or restraints. 

Trouble creator for friends by giving them wrong advice. Extravagant, atheist, cruel, wicked and crafty, boaster. Always travels far. Unfriendly, agitated, disabled, loss of reputation, loss of wealth through thieves & dacoits. Injury to left eye, ear, hand or foot of the spouse; subject to feverish complaints. 

If this Mars is well posited, the wound marks are short lived, if ill aspected or associated, they remain for a long time. 

Death of uncles (paternal). You are wrathful, sexy, crippled, infidel, jealous of friends and relatives. Loss of wealth in the 45th year. Trouble in throat & ears; blood infection. Discredited, vicious; separation from brother, bitter, vexed, unhappy; tired of traveling; cataract or heat stroke on eyes. Secret enemies, misadventures; chance of accidents; slander, scandal; treacherous enemies; impulsive, tactless, fraudulent; theft & burglary. Left eye is under danger. Mars: Expenditure through enemies, crimes etc.

Budha

"nuttier than a fruitcake"

Detailed and articulate imagination and may be a gifted storyteller with an amazing flair for psychological narrative. Yet, the material manifestation of the two houses ruled by Budha will be expressed only in the world of dreams. 

Success as a travel guide in foreign lands, a translator of foreign texts, or a therapist in private enclosure. In Budha's own rashis, an excellent writer on foreign or imaginary subjects or dream interpreter. Knowledge of the symbols representing patterns in unconscious memory. 

Dreams are verbal and busy, full of information. Native may talk to oneself or host running conversations of others in their own mind. Potential for mental illness due to weak mental boundaries. Requires training to separate one's own thought narrative from the thought narratives of others.


Das / Behari:

Mercury helps you receive cosmic inspiration & thus it is always creative. It is a neutral planet: it does not contribute anything of its own, but transfers subjective messages into objective manifestation & transmutes objective experiences into subjective awareness

In this state, ... Mercury can be effective whether the soul is withdrawing from the path of materialization, or whether it is pursuing it.  For this reason, one finds that you are a skilled craftsman, succeeding in what you do, interested in religious activities, but can also deceive others. 

... [Budha/12] contributes only what you have already acquired. [Budha/12] is good for getting in contact with righteous persons & for warding off losses & failures. You spend on good causes. The learned persons like you. Your failures come of your own misdeeds. You may even turn against your own people to follow your path. You may feel hostility towards your own kinsmen or society & go against them. You are true to your word & learned. You might go against social code to earn your living. Skilled in noble acts. Interest in spiritual things or divine sciences. Ultimately success comes. Fear from government or authority. Mercury: Expenditure on education.

Guru

"the road to hell is paved with good intentions"

Amazingly rich & vivid spiritual imagination and may be a highly gifted intuitive healer. Yet the material manifestation of the two houses ruled by Guru will be expressed only in the world of dreams. 

The stronger is Guru by rashi, the more expansive the native's wisdom & charity fantasies will be. 

From domain-12, Guru casts a weakened but imaginative drishti upon domains-4, -6, and -8. Expansive fantasies enliven the expectations of a grander home (4), a more extensive illness or debt (6), and a greater cache of hidden assets (8).

Domain-12 is Brihaspati's natural house. Guru enjoys this placement & here He facilitates easy communication with the spirits of one's ancestors. Excellent for the professional spiritualist and psychic medium.

Disinterested in children except as beneficiaries of their charitable vision.

The native may enjoy a wonderful vision of oneself as a world healer, giving abundantly to all who seek ... Such a fantasy may have realistic aspects if the native is so employed, but more often the native travels that famous road which is "paved with good intentions".  


Das / Behari:

 

Shukra

 

Splendid artistic imagination, and bodes well for valuable art & music production in the confines of studio or sanctuary space., but the material manifestation of the two houses ruled by Shukra will be expressed only in the world of dreams. 

Abundant sensual skill makes a master of "bed pleasure", but the material manifestation of the two houses ruled by Shukra will be expressed only in the world of dreams. 

The stronger is Shukra by rashi, the more powerful the native's luxury & pleasure fantasies will be. Danger of extravagant spending when Shukra is uccha or swakshetra, as native confuses the fantasy of luxurious wealth with the reality of their actual budget.

One may enjoy a vision of personal beauty & seductive attractiveness as a lover or fashion icon, a sensational talent in music or art, or just a very nice person especially liked by women. 

More often, because the effect of true Shukra is submerged in the subconscious or astral perceptions, the native has inflated romantic expectations in love relationships and friendships with women. 

For Mesha and Nakra lagna, signifies deep animosity from the spouse, which is met with attempts at "bed pleasure" healing and consistent denial.


Das / Behari:

 

Shani

"skeletons in the closet".

Malefics in domain-12 generally give suppression and denial. More so with oppressive Shani. Many "skeletons in the closet". No patience for fantasy, imagination, creativity, embroidering of tales, or psychological sensitivities. Cannot process grief, has no permission to release or to feel rage. Thus diseases of liver and lung are found here.

The two houses ruled by Shani will be expressed only in the world of dreams. From domain-12 Shani also slows and restrains savings wealth (domain-2), illness & debt (domain-6), and (hidden assets) domain-8. Although the native will not save much money, one will also not suffer much debt. Often a modest earning salary-worker.

Tough guy, whether male or female. Excellent for hard-tack slash-and-burn positions in subsistence agriculture, poverty zones, refugee camps, areas of devastation and death, prison guard, executioner, other restrictive and restraining professions. 

Does not dream and has limited memory of current life events. Good at ending things, has no regrets at the end of a relationship. Dislikes story telling, insists on facts. Excellent criminal detective, if combined with Budha. Benefits refugee & immigration work, helps one to leave one's former country or family completely behind. 


Das / Behari:

You are persistent in getting what you want. Spirituality may be attractive, but you will probably see such thoughts as your own & pursue them not out of devotion to another person, but rather out of devotion to your own path. 

The voice of the mortal body is loud, urging you to pleasures. You are an intense person in a number of ways--both positive & negative. You associate with the average, the hurt & unhappy. You have a hard time with standard morality. 

Watch out for lung ailments & save money during Jupiter major period for harder times in Saturn major. The right eye is in some danger due to Saturn in the 12th house.

You may be able to be a popular leader in some way. At times you are rather dry, shameless & merciless, in the perceptions of others. This is good if you are in such lines of work (such as law enforcement etc.). It can make for a lack of beauty & charm in relationships however. You may find gains & success in a land or state other than that of your birth. You are reserved, like peace & seclusion, laborious jobs. 

Rahu

Depends on Rahu's lord.

Will challenge taboos of behavior in the private world. Adventurous and exploratory - whether the results are good or evil, depends on Rahu's lord. Intensely ritualistic and may indulge in black magic or predatory superstitious practices if the placement is very negative. 

High permission to breach cultural boundaries and roam in foreign lands. Effective channel for foreign spirits who wish to invade the native's subconscious, so special protections are required for psychic work.

The material manifestation of the houses ruled by Rahu's lord are not harmed.  


Das / Behari:

Ketu

Depends on Ketu's lord.

Double detachment. Native is highly sensitive to communications from spirits and presences without bodies. May not be inclined toward any specific spiritual practice, but tends to wander from temple to temple, or landscape to landscape, just looking. 

Favors wandering in foreign lands, long retreats, deep meditations, and extraordinary psychic channeling. If this native is engaged in psychic work one should request an outside grounding control to ensure protection from hitch-hiking or predatory spirits. Tends to be a loner and while one can channel spiritual information from the ancestors for the benefit of others, one rarely can do this service for one's own self. Does not connect consciously to the world of dreams, simply lives with this background awareness until asked to give a read-out.

The material manifestation of the houses ruled by Ketu's lord are not harmed.
