"Bred for competition".  Wants to compete & needs to compete.  When this native looks in the mirror, s/he sees a Hero, a triumphant Winner. The fundamental drive is to enter battle & win. Needs to be the Best, the prize-holder, the Champion

Generally, one values righteous competition;  honest warrior in battle & will not cheat. 

(However if Budha is weakened they may stoop to lie, in attempt to do the right thing; or steal, in quest to gather the resources they need to win. )


In all but the most conscious souls, Soma-Mesha displays a somewhat juvenile self-righteousness from the need to confirm their superiority. Advanced consciousness transforms the lower, more common self-righteousness into authentic righteousness in which the native competes only with himself. Great purification through physical challenge is possible if the native's awareness is well developed.


Their actual success depends on the health of Mars.  

If Kuja is swakshetra (in Mesha, Vrischika) or uccha ( Makara), the native's competitive sporting warrior drive find good expression in military, commerce, or medicine (esp. surgery).  

(Uccha Kuja will send His 4th drishti to Mesha Moon, extremely pro-active in commerce.)  In general these natives need action.  They need a war to fight.  Beware: if they can't find one, they will create one.  


If you have a Mesha-Moon person in your life, be sure to arrange lots of positive activities to absorb their warrior energy.  These are highly competitive folk.  If they cannot detect an available challenge, they will try to fight with you. If they do not hear your applause, they may think you no longer value them.  

It is ironic because you would think a Champion would have abundant confidence, but Mesha-Soma natives need unusually large amounts of praise to feel good about themselves.  Children needs sports competitions & effusive praise at home.  Lovers, ditto.  Parent or boss? Let them know you think they're The Best at what they do.

"Bred for pleasure".  This person wants to indulge & needs to indulge.  When this native looks in the mirror, s/he sees a Lover, a sensual beauty, & giver of generous healing touch. Their fundamental drive is to enjoy each & every sensual pleasure in life, whilst providing as much loving embrace to their families, friends & the Earth as they can generate.  & that is a lot of love!  Their actual success (or not) in generating/receiving intense sensual connection with people & pleasures around them, depends on the health of Venus. 

If Shukra is swakshetra (Vrishabha, Thula) or uccha (Meena) the native's exquisitely delicate senses attract delicious foods, fine furnishings, beautiful children, sensual lovers,& transcendent music. Vrishabha-Soma is very caring & indulgent to their family. They greatly love the natural beauty of outdoor life.  They flourish in lifestyles full of beautiful sights, smells, touches, tastes, & sounds.  They feel wealthy & comfortable when they have the sensual input they need; & usually become wealthy due to "matching energy" of pleasure attracting pleasure..


If you have a Vrishabha-Soma person in your life, be sure to surround them with pleasures.  If deprived of pleasure by excess work or unrelieved responsibility, they will naturally wander to greener pastures.  They need pampering

Children will be deeply sensual, needing lots of contact& luxuriating in your attention.  Parents& bosses love to be loved - show them your regard with gifts of fine foods, elegant wine, exquisite textiles,& magnificently printed art books - especially histories.  They enjoy the very best,& they like to share!

Mithuna [Gemini]

U.S. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt

"Bred for communication".  This person wants to interact & needs to interact.  When this native looks in the mirror, s/he sees a Conversation Partner, a delightful charmer, & a brilliant wit.  The native's fundamental drive is to engage in a variety of types & levels of interactive communication with other beings & elementals in their environment, in order to form a clearer picture of themselves. 

They like to become quickly intimate with the "Other" in their environment, like twins in the womb.  However they can only remain in environments / relationships that are adequately diverse,  complex & multi-dimensional to retain the interest of their self-information-hungry mind. 


Their actual success (or not) in staying informatively engaged with their environment, & thus remaining emotionally stable, depends on the health of Mercury. 

If Budha is swakshetra (Mithuna) or uccha (Kanya) the mental capacity is highly developed,& the person becomes an appreciated genius of sensitive communications.  Mithuna-Soma is steady & dedicated in relationships that provide challenge, complexity,& interest.  They flourish in networks of fast-paced, multi-cultural/multi-lingual, sexually-or-politically-charged relationships, where they can flex their information-gathering psychic antennae with discrimination& skill.  Tend toward successful, communications-intensive careers in complex, sophisticated environments.

If you have a Mithuna-Soma person in your life, be sure to interact with them in complex, multi-layered ways that allow them to see themselves mirrored in you.  Mithuna is a very sexual sign - because sexual intimacy is a very intense form of psycho-physical communication. If this person is your sexual partner, be aware that they need constant engagement - physical and / or psycho-emotional.  They are mining your aura for personal validation.  If they are your parent, child, or co-worker, remember they have a powerful need to discover who they are, by looking in the mirror of the Other.  They can only be happy in their relationship with you, when the self-confirming images they crave are flowing in to them - from you.  They need to stay busy in meaningful ways.

If the Moon is in Gemini at birth, one will have prominent nose& dark eyes, will be skillful in the art of love, poetry etc., Will enjoy sexual pleasures, will have lines of fish in the palm, will be fond of worldly enjoyments, will be sinewy, be very intelligent, splendorous, be endowed with happiness, jocular disposition& eloquent speech, be won over by the females, will have a long body, will befriend neuters& will have two mothers. - Saravali, Ch. 23, Shloka 16

"Bred for protection." This person wants to nurture& needs to nurture.  When this native looks in the mirror, s/he sees a Parent, a giver of sanctuary, nourishment,& a skillful, heart-centered caretaker.   Their fundamental drive is to create safe sheltered nests where fragile young beings can grow safely & creatively into adulthood.  Sometimes this drive expresses mainly in the traditional home environment, but it can just as easily (& successfully) express in business & government, when the Karka-Moon native helps younger colleagues shape their career; binds co-workers into a caring family. This parental drive rises to a leadership role through the love & loyalty s/he has created in the workplace. It is a tremendously patriotic Moon, always found in the charts of those who love their countries & will sacrifice to better their nation's future.

Their actual success (or not) in expressing deep parenting, caretaking instincts in their home, professional, & community environments, depends on the Moon's house & aspects to Moon.  Soma is EXTREMELY impressionable& sensitive, so any outside influences on Chandra in His own sign are very potent. 

E.g., if Mars is uccha (where He triumphs in commerce & industry) Kuja  would cast the 7th drishti directly onto Karka-Soma, propelling much of Soma's parenting energy into the corporate setting.  If Mars by contrast is fallen in Karkata itself, there is some wealth/energy benefit from Chandra-Mangala yoga, but emotional excess will implode in the home/mother.

If you have a Karkata-Soma person in your life, be sure to honor& respect their parenting / caretaking contributions.  These natives are often silent about their emotional needs, but in fact their need for nesting, closeness,& safety runs very deep. They need validation from appreciative spouses, co-workers,& children. They love to feed people - with food, with approval, with resources for success.  Let them feed you - then show how much you appreciate all the emotional energy they invest in doing what is best for their loved ones.  A small act of gratitude is usually all they need to assuage their guilt that they haven't done enough!

"Bred for admiration".  One wants to admire& BE admired.  See& be seen. One gives as good as one gets, which means one flourishes only in environments where one receives & generates plenty of attention. One needs to feel the warm, appreciative, awe-struck love of their subjects/fans/wanna-bes/students.  When this native looks in the mirror, one sees a Monarch; a giver of blessing, peace, & prosperity;& an authoritative, elegant,& charismatic leader.   Fundamental drive is to provide ceremonial leadership to their people. Serves as an icon of moral, aesthetic, & rational living. Actual success (or not) in holding a respected, celebrated, emulated position in their world (however big or small that world might be) depends on the health of Surya. 

If Surya is swakshetra (in Simha) or uccha (in Mesha) this person will achieve celebrity status at some level. They might be the most fashionable, exciting member of their peer group; the most creative, beloved Scout leader in the state; the most popular professor in the university; or the sharpest young executive in the company.  Loves participating in ceremonies; receiving& giving awards & prizes; holding their scepter;  wearing magnificent raiment... (just kidding - but these folks really do dress for success.)

If you have a Simha-Soma person in your life, be sure to give them plenty of admiring attention --& a generous clothing budget.  If they don't receive positive attention, they will start working to get negative attention.  Just as true of a lover as it is of a child, parent, co-worker, or boss.  Try to reinforce their moral intelligence& praise them for putting the needs of their people :) before their own.  Model for them the true aristocratic attitude, which treats everyone with full respect.  

If the Moon is in Leo, one will have sturdy bones, sparse hair, wide face, small& yellowish eyes, will hate women, will suffer from hunger& thirst, will incur stomach disorders& tooth-decay, will eat flesh, be charitable, harsh, will have few sons, will seek sexual union in forests& hills, be respectfully disposed to his mother, will have broad chest, be valorous, dutiful& will have majestic looks. - Saravali, Ch. 23, Shloka 30

"Bred for analysis." This person wants to solve problems& needs to solve problems.  When this native looks in the mirror, s/he sees a Prime Minister, a giver of aid, information,& useful methods.  This is a fairly sterile position for the Moon; a place that tends, overall, to yield limited emotional satisfaction.  Yet, service is deeply satisfying indirectly.  They need to feel that their constant, unswerving service is appreciated. Their fundamental drive is to provide structured principles to individuals& societies: to answer to question "" how then shall we live?"

If Budha is swakshetra (Mithuna) or uccha (Kanya) the native will be strikingly intelligent if somewhat emotionally repressed.  There is a tendency to conflate mental& emotional perceptions.  However, mental discrimination is excellent.  Typically Kanya Moon folk have an amazing sense of humor, arising from their skill in finding personal quirks.  They are shrewd students of human nature. What they don't have: steady, convincing access to intuition.  Tends toward a state of cognitive dissonance unless highly educated.  Their intuition is often overwhelmed by rules, dogma,& opinion - because strong Budha overwhelms Moon.

If you have a Kanya-Soma person in your life, be sure to confirm& validate the service that they offer to you& to everyone they know.  Kanya-Soma folk are dedicated to the well-being of the entire interlocking network of beings,& they express this dedication through service.  

Discourage them from negative systems of rules like dogmatism, fundamentalism, or rigid prescriptivism. Encourage their expression of positive principles such as their love of the weak, the powerless,& the forgotten.  Kanya-Soma are (or can be) beautiful souls.

"Bred for mediation." This person wants to find agreement& needs to find agreement.  When this native looks in the mirror, s/he sees a Judge, a giver of balanced decisions, articulator of consensus,& icon of social equity.  

One's fundamental drive is to provide methods of achieving balance & harmony, in both moral & aesthetic worlds.  Thus, a well-balanced color palette is just as important to as a well-argued legal case. Actual success (or not) in promoting justice, fairness,& equity in this world (in addition to pleasing musical harmonies& soothing color schemes) depends on the vitality of Shukra. 

If Shukra is swakshetra (Vrishabha, Thula) or uchcha (Meena), the native will be strikingly well-balanced in attitude& appearance.  However, ironically, Shukra's uccha position is Meena& His other swakshetra is Vrishabha, both 6/8 angles from Thula. 

The native with Libra Moon but Shukra in either Pisces or Taurus will be musically and/or artistically gifted in the extreme, but they will spend most of their balancing, smoothing, harmonizing energies trying to achieve internal agreements.  

Only when Shukra& Soma both occupy Thula do we find the natural advocates of structured social equity, who find moral harmony & social agreement much more attractive, & pursue it with passion. Architecture is amongst their favorite careers, because its professionals must find agreement between many social & aesthetic demands on how to design & use a human space. 

If you have a Thula-Soma person in your life, be sure to appreciate how intensely important is art & beauty in their lives.  Consult them when making color choices, particularly if you share living quarters!  Perhaps you are the more skillful cook, but by all means allow them to choose a harmonious guest list & design the perfect menu.  Perhaps you have the superior legal education, but allow them to comment on how the law affects various constituencies.  Fairness is critically important to these natives.  Honor their sensitivity.  Even if you don't think all those little details are important - they do.  They will work with you to balance macro & micro, because they strive always for agreement.

"Bred for exploration." This person wants to hunt & needs to hunt.  When this native looks in the mirror, s/he sees a Shaman-Hunter, a giver of oracular knowledge, a perceiver of the unseen, a skilled tracker & successful gain of quarry.  Vrischika Moon watches the signs: observing subtle sights & sounds of its prey until motives& patterns are revealed.  Their fundamental drive is to detect the previously unseen.  All psychological disciplines are attractive to them.  Their actual success (or not) in finding new information, detecting new patterns, intuiting new knowledge - depends on the health of Kuja.

Traditionally, Soma is fallen in Scorpio, but frankly I rarely notice the Soma-Vrischika person lacking emotional luster.  There is some tendency toward emotional implosion, which on the surface looks like psycho-drama or taking oneself rather too seriously.  However in general these folks are gifted healers, excellent students of human nature, & sharp observers.  They thrive in intuitive professions like forensic science, police work, espionage or homeopathy!  They necessarily possess an empathy for the criminal agent which is I suppose why Chandra is considered fallen here, in the tantric zone of Scorpio. But in terms of emotional capability for feeling& intuiting, there is no deficiency whatsoever.  Vrischika Moon gives an extreme psychic perceptiveness which certainly is valuable - but of course is must be correctly deployed to show its brilliance.

If Kuja is swakshetra (in Mesha, Vrischika) or uccha ( Makara) the hunt will be vigorous& typically successful.  Kuja's two signs Mesha & Vrischika give peak masculine achievement in war& the hunt; as hero& provider.  In Makara rashi, Kuja is enormously restrained by Shani but Kuja gives superb results, under Shani's discipline, in government, administration, & commerce. 

If you have a Vrischika-Soma person in your life, be sure to acknowledge their intuitive gifts.  Do not downplay the power of their hunter's sixth sense.  Rather, be amazed.  They can hunt down a lost person, a forgotten memory, & the season's best sale on sports gear.  They know your inner desires - let them heal your fears, don't punish them for mentioning their observations. What they say is true, even if it hurts. They can be profound healers once their intuitive way of knowing is accepted by their companions.

"Bred for education." This person wants to expand & needs to expand their awareness.  When this native looks in the mirror, s/he sees a Preceptor, a giver of rational knowledge, a person who transforms lives through greater understanding, a beloved guru who leads humankind down the road of enlightenment, into a better, brighter future.   


Their fundamental drive is to provide the knowledge, support, & confidence that create progress in the great civilizations. Their actual success (or not) in seeing their vision of a better future realized, depends on the health of Guru. 

If Guru is swakshetra (Dhanus, Meena) or uccha (Karka) - they can be filled with a missionary zeal to improve the world upon higher principles.  

Usually but not always this is a compassionate mission, motivated by an authentic desire to help lowly persons achieve more prosperity& understanding in their lives.  

Like the other Guru-ruled Moon (Meena, below) they have Guru's wide perspective; but unlike Meena which can live& let live, Dhanus-Soma is powerfully driven to make what it feels are essential& positive changes.  

Sometimes it's literally overkill (as in the case of A. Hitler/Guru-Soma in Dhanus) - where the vision gets horribly twisted by other dysfunction in the chart. 

Sometimes makes early ideologues who later get wise (as in Shri Aurobindo/Guru-Karka & Soma-Dhanus.) The tremendous expansive power of Guru propels great social-change programs - for better or worse.  

If you have a Dhanus-Soma person in your life, be sure to acknowledge their true motive.  They seek to educate, to improve, to expand the vista of each individual& mankind.  That includes you.  Because constant improvement can feel wearisome or even downright invasive,  Dhanus-Soma folks often have to be reminded (kindly) that most people like a slower pace to enlightenment -& that purity, as a goal, is usually a mask for terrible repression.   

Makara [Capricorn]


U.S. Pres. Richard Nixon

P.M. Tony Blair

P.M. Indira Gandhi

Princess Diana

U.S. Pres. Abraham Lincoln

"Bred for orderliness."  This person wants to conform& needs to conform. When this native looks in the mirror, s/he sees a Regulator, a giver of rules, systems,& policies which enable coherent social organization.  Their fundamental drive is to detect social mores, zones of behavioral normalcy,& enforce conformity to the norms expressed in those zones.  

Makara represents Hierarchies, the organized rule-driven ritually enforced systems of caste, class,& position which define all societies.  Moon being the seat of emotional sensitivity& genius, Soma-Makara is most sensitive to matters of propriety, observation of ritual& custom, correct procedure& protocol,& censure for non-conformance.   Their actual success (or not) in properly absorbing& enforcing social standards, depends on the health of Shani. 


If Shani = swakshetra (Makara, Kumbha) or uccha (Thula) the native will be an excellent citizen, taking active responsibility for identifying& imposing rules of order.  They will serve on juries, endure long hours of public policy meetings,& eventually become high-level administrators in corporations& government - because they care. Industrious providers& 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.  Uccha Shani (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.


If you have a Makara-Soma person in your life, appreciate that normalcy& the social comfort it brings, is essential to them.  Don't embarrass them with eccentric behaviors.  Rather, allow their good judgment to bring a Ben Franklin level of good-humored sanity into your life.  

These folks do not like to be overextended, & 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 & 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& bosses are delightfully conventional, dependable,& the very souls of public service.  Lovely, sturdy folk. 

Kumbha [Aquarius]


Elvis Presley

Lisa Marie Presley

JFK, Jr.

Michael Jackson

Hillary Clinton

Dale Earnhardt

Rush Limbaugh

"Bred for association." This person wants to socialize in a large assembly & needs to attend large parties & gatherings. Likes fundraising and community development.

Kumbha is a sign of the people, the hoi-polloi, the giant network of human communications.  

When this native looks in the mirror, s/he sees a Facilitator, a large-scale event organizer& mingler of peoples, a sort of a human switchboard that creates networks of communication between individuals& groups.  


Kumbha rules the marketplace. This person is the beadle, the herald, the interlocutor, gossipmonger,& liaison. Their fundamental drive is to link mutually interested people with each other, thereby sharing ideas, merging cultures,& enjoying a commercial profit. 

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


If Shani is swakshetra (in Makara, Kumbha) or uccha (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.  

Uccha Shani is exceptionally fortunate for this Moon: granting excellent judgment& 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,& be amazed at their group intelligence.  They are trying to connect you to members of the marketplace who like you,& 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 & under-emote, making them high-strung & overly busy.  Shani-dominated, they crave material results. They may need encouragement to slow down, smell the roses, & sleep!  


Children will want to join every club & attend every school event.  Lovers will want to throw dinner parties & 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"& produces the uniquely peculiar Kumbha type of withdrawn, nervous, anxious illness known to experienced Jyotishi.

"Bred for reflection."  This person wants to ponder& needs to ponder. Meena is a sign of oceans, dolphins, universes, children, dreams. It is the land of the astral bridge, the dream space, 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 & commenter-upon vast movements in history & civilization.  

Soma-Meena is enchanted by children & spirits; magnetically attracts them; speaks for them.  They channel vast intuitive creativity, but 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. 

Their fundamental drive is to deepen their understanding of the infinitely complex & subtle relationships between all beings. Their actual success (or not) in absorbing the knowledge and providing inspirational or intuitive guidance to others, depends on the vitality of Guru. 


If Guru is swakshetra (Dhanus, Meena) or uccha (Karka) the native is highly gifted with intuitive intelligence, & displays a breadth of knowledge in wide-cast fields such as  economics, philosophy,& history.  

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

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

In Meena, brilliant intuition& 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, & future.  History really does repeat itself.  Listen to their long stories; allow them to interpret your dreams.  


They know you; they know all humankind.  They communicate with life forms you might not recognize; they have information you might not have.  

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


They are 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& bosses may seem vague & 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.


If the Moon is in Pisces, the native will 

  • be expert in fine arts, 

  • be capable of winning even unfavorable people, 

  • be learned in Shastras, 

  • beautiful bodied, 

  • proficient in music, 

  • very religious, 

  • will cohabit with many women, 

  • be a polite speaker, 

  • will serve the king, 

  • be somewhat irascible, 

  • will have a big head, 

  • be endowed with happiness & wealth, 

  • will be won over by the fair sex, 

  • be virtuous, 

  • be interested in sailing & be liberal. 

~ Saravali, Ch 23, S. 79

 

 

According to some scientists, emotion is not necessarily negative. Emotion is a very strong feeling. 

While some emotions are destructive, others are constructive. In a meeting with scientists, we concluded that there are emotions even in the Buddha's mind. There is a strong sense of caring& compassion and also the realization of emptiness. 

In the beginning, there is just a vague feeling of emptiness. At that level, there is no emotion, but once you become more familiar with it, then that feeling increases. At a certain level, the realization of emptiness also becomes a kind of emotion. 

Therefore, in the practice of developing wisdom and loving-kindness / compassion, you strengthen these inner qualities& then reach a state where you have an upsurge of feeling called emotion. We can clearly see this link between intellect& emotions. Thus, the brain& heart can go side by side. I think this is the Buddhist approach.
