Graha
General Effect of Chandra& this Graha occupying same rashi
Chandra-Mangala yoga is generally favorable, but it can be problematic if either Chandra or Kuja are inauspiciously placed. This native seeks emotional identity validation through competitive success in sport & business.
Brings wealth via hard work & good business intuition, in all houses except dusthanas.
Native is impulsive emotionally, enjoys their body, stays fit or is at least quite conscious of their appearance. Women with this yoga tend to have an abundance of yang energy, which is to say they are competitive, sexual,& enjoy public life.
Generally very successful in the outer society. Goal-oriented. Better leaders than followers. Contribute value& are well rewarded materially for their work. In houses 2, 5, 9, & 11 this yoga builds significant material wealth.
However they may not be so happy in private relationships where they suffer selfishness & impatience.
Much depends on the rashi & bhava. Excellent material results in Makara, Mesha, & Vrischika where the native achieves a high position& wealth through productive, disciplined efforts.
In rashis of Shani, will be attracted to large organizations. In rashis of Kuja, success through competition, metals, & heat. When in Karkata, may be too emotionally volatile to be productive & in fact becomes a disruptive force. Physical exercise is essential for happiness. Ideally this native will be always involved, at least casually, in a competitive sport.
Behari says: ... disobedient to his mother, liar & of wicked deeds. Fond of music, brave, victory over enemies & gain through business. One will be dealer in hammers, plow & other rough instruments, women, spurious drinks & earthen jars. If Mars be significator & Moon is well dignified, makes the native very changeable & bold & enterprising, not easily disconcerted. Generally marries some one much above his own status; one becomes much addicted to women, yet seldom suffers by them. If Moon be ill dignified, the native becomes vulgar, base & mean, changeable & silly, of shallow abilities drunken, poor & dissipated. Wanders. If woman, will become prostitute. Will end his days in abroad or away from house. If Moon be significator, & Mars be dignified, the native is bold, rash & unruly, of no great abilities but will be courageous & enterprising, good warrior, surgeon, chemist or physician. Fond of traveling & exploring foreign countries, fortunate & may die there. If Mars be ill dignified, one will be violent furious, malignant, treacherous, cruel, murderer, robber, rebel or traitor, who seldom lives long. Scar on eye or face. Irritable & angry temperament, events arising out of your past anger with friends, people & family. Conflicts with others & emotional. Do not be arrogant under the grab of self confidence.
Chandra-Budha yoga is generally neutral. Gives confusion when Budha is weak. Gives intuitive acuity when Budha is strong. Descriptions below also apply to Chandra-Budha in mutual aspect.
This native seeks emotional identity validation through mental activity, intellectual discrimination, & perceptual development.
This yoga energizes the emotions & sensitizes the thought process. The person is usually a quick thinker, may be somewhat impulsive in reaching conclusions, but if often intuitively correct even when their reasoning path is quirky.
If located in a trine or kendra, Chandra-yuti-Budha is generally auspicious. If Budha is uccha or swakshetra, the native is remarkably intelligent& may annoy the less gifted with the speed of their talk,& rapid conclusions. If Chandra is well disposed, the native is very sensitive to children& beloved by them. Makes a wonderful teacher, parent,& coach. The native is typically an excellent 'facilitator' who is able to respond to group emotions even while speaking clearly. Flourishes in any of the communicative arts, especially writing.
If neither Budha nor Chandra is well disposed, the native can be emotionally reactive & immature. Snap decisions, aggressive criticism,& even clinical narcissism can emerge for this emotionally handicapped native who demands simple answers to complex questions,& lacks self-reflective capacity. Chandra-Budha in Vrischika can mature into shamanistic channeling with good tutoring, but the native is also prone to angry outbursts. In Mesha, the native is immature & demanding, lacks reflection. In rashis of Shani, withdrawn& conventional communication style. In rashis of Guru, Surya, or Chandra, vibrantly positive & sensitive style, but may lack realism.
Chandra-Guru yoga is generally favorable. This native seeks emotional identity validation through physical fertility, through involvement in lives of their children or their works of art, & through maintaining a positive worldview
Generally pleasant & cheerful folk unless either Guru or Chandra is damaged. Although their "heart is in the right place," this native may be prone to a "Pollyanna" type of excess optimism. Positive view may filter out authentic but negative information, giving pretty but inaccurate worldview. Their glass is always half-full :)
Like all yogas involving the Moon, it gives a tendency to project one's feelings upon others. Tends toward a super-optimistic projection that more realistic souls in their environment may find hard to take. Yet, overall, their overbearing emotional projections are more helpful than harmful in this weary world.
The native craves wisdom but because they ignore negative perceptions, they may project a need for everyone in their environment (especially family members) to display a cheerful optimism & full agreement at all times.
Strong compassion & charitable instincts if the intellectual capacity is well developed. Otherwise tends toward humanistic sympathy or pity for those less fortunate.
Brings good fortune into the native's life. Frequently more than one mother. If Chandra-Guru-yuti-Rahu, may bring several mothers from different cultures who all help the native in different ways. (Karaka for beneficial cross-cultural adoption).
Strong humanistic tendencies & maternal instincts make a wonderful caretaker. If connected with lagna/lagnesha, gives an abundant physical body with large breasts.
If the nativity shows no other source of social identity, Chandra-Guru can make a "breeder" whose sole emotional validation comes from enacting their reproductive powers.
In rashis of Shani may be emotionally constrained: gives problems with mother,& wants to care for others but fails due to inadequate early mothering. In Karkata rashi, highly auspicious for wealth, children, & home.
Generally very nice people, whether they are effective in the world or not.
Chandra-Shukra yoga is generally less favorable. This native seeks emotional identity validation through beauty & pleasure; material wealth & harmonious environments;& their ability to attract lovers & admirers.
All yogas involving the Moon give a tendency to project one's feelings upon others. Chandra-Shukra natives tend to project their own love of beauty & balance upon the world. They may have trouble accepting that others are not so interested in the aesthetic level of perception,& be perceived as superficial or dilettantish aesthetes. Enjoys the company of women & forms balanced partnerships easily with persons of all ranks. The mother is also fashionable& socially attractive (although harsh drishti can limit both mother's& native's beauty).
Native is typically sociable & pleasant natured. Strongly identified with marriage & business partnership. If marriage is problematic will instinctively create other partnerships to channel their relationship energies.
Excellent intuitive sense of design but may be "slave to fashion", unless practical Shani casts a limiting drishti. Likes to be in arts & architecture, where their perceptions are appreciated. Excellent adviser & loyal partner. May spend lavishly on personal beauty & decorating their home.
Chandra-Shani yoga is generally unfavorable. Almost always indicates problems with or loss of the mother. The stronger Chandra's character, the more likely that Chandra-yuti-Shani will indicate early childhood death of mother, e.g. Soma-Vrishabha, nearly always.
This native seeks emotional identity validation through enforcing rules & regulations, strengthening social conformity systems, & (sometimes) oppressing others. Gives good character but they are rule-bound emotionally (usually from having survived major childhood trauma).
All yogas involving the Moon give a tendency to project one's feelings upon others. This native projects their feelings of oppression, restriction, scarcity, poverty, exposure, lack of trust & emotional abandonment upon others. They fear authority but also crave it. Conservative, authority-oriented personality.
Unhappy childhood, full of heavy responsibility & inadequate protection or support. With other malefics, this yoga can results in emotionally exploitation,& in the company of other evil grahas may signal an oppressive perpetrator who was himself exploited in childhood.
Tends toward spinal pain in the physical body which expresses this emotional reality of lack of support, heavy guilt, feeling overburdened etc. A deeply compromised emotional life in which one carries the burdens of others. Almost always inadequate parenting, esp. from the mother. In intimate relationships, tends to parent the partner.
Similar effects to Shani in lagna or Shani drishti to Chandra, but more emotionally profound & acute. If Shani, Chandra & lagnesha are all in lagna, the native may be physically & socially powerful but deeply oppressed emotionally. The native will not normally harm others, but rather feels an underlying lack of support throughout the incarnation, which becomes acute during each sade saati. General effect is similar to a lifelong sade saati. Associated with death of the mother if the first sade saati or Shani mahadasha occurs early in life. May have several substitute mothers; none of them very effective; & may produce children but will experience emotional blocks in connecting to them.
With Kuja, does well in military & dangerous settings. With Guru, an authoritarian teacher. (If Guru is auspicious, a firm but compassionate educator.) With Shukra, very pretty but ones beauty is exploited & eventually one exploits others.
Chandra-Surya yoga is generally favorable. This native seeks emotional identity validation through rational action, public leadership & approval,& advancing the dominant cultural style.
All yogas involving the Moon give a tendency to project one's feelings upon others. Surya indicates rational thought, decision-making,& public identity through ego activity. This native will project their own thoughts & beliefs upon others, presuming that everyone shares or wants to share their own mentality & their beliefs. May appropriate the rights of others, in the mistaken belief that their own perceptions are more true because they are more "reasonable".
The native is born under a "black moon." Soma yields power to Ravi, giving the native stronger rational abilities & less well developed emotional perception. They will follow the path set by others& assert the moral righteousness of their group against others. Can be quite self-righteous. Personal identity is slightly weakened but ability to compromise & accept social direction is strengthened. This native generally gets along well with others in their group & has less emotional conflict in life, largely due to reduced sensitivity to others' feelings. Pleasant person as a rule.
Chandra/Rahu projects their own needs & desires upon others.
Chandra/Ketu allows others to project their personal needs upon the native.
Both conjunctions suffer "boundary" issues which can be addressed successfully by reflection& awareness of psychic Best Practice.
Chandra-Rahu yoga is generally unfavorable, but it can yield excellent results when yuti a strong benefic. This native seeks emotional identity validation through getting attention, being recognized as special or charismatic,& having strongly desirous feelings toward others.
Emotionally volatile with strong desire nature. The native is passionate about life& plunges into relationships with full-on healing powers. Tendency to overwhelm the people around them, especially intimate partners. Extremely sensitive & controlling emotionally. Projects their feelings upon others. Can be psychically invasive, but also charismatic& full of vitality & charm. Likes to stimulate the feelings of others & take psycho- emotional risks.
Women with this yoga will deeply identify with their maternal nurturing powers. The impulsive qualities of Rahu/Chandra promote early motherhood& often an immature, reactive & invasive style of parenting. However the Rahu/Chandra native experiences the act of invading another person's aura as exciting, nurturing& ego-validating.
Typically the native's dominant parent, usually the mother, also lacked boundary consciousness& felt free to project their own feelings & perceptions upon the child. The native replicates this with their own children.
Life with a Rahu/Chandra person can easily become a 'soap opera.', This yoga generates a deep need for intense, repetitive, reactive,& volatile relationships with emotional intimates (parents, children, lovers) that is never satisfied. The need for emotional excitement cannot be satisfied but rather "reiterates" in perpetuity. Unfortunately due to the obsessive-compulsive nature of Rahu, the cycle is rarely broken by consciousness.
In extreme cases involving Shani, Kuja, or temporal malefics, the mother may be so addicted to invasive control that the natural maturing separation of her children is perceived as a threat to her survival. This extreme dependency on the projected self-image may lead to clinical conditions such as 'Borderline' PD. But the more common manifestation is a restless desire for intense emotional contact.
For these natives, demand for a deeper satisfaction penetrates all of life. Can be charismatic when Chandra is in a good rashi or bhava,& well supported by Chandra's lord. However in unfavorable rashis or in dusthana may attract public censure, gets involved with taboo activity (esp. sexual taboos, esp. if Kuja is involved)& in their passion crosses social boundaries without permission.
Can be a fabulous hands-on healer with good tutoring on boundaries. When these folks are given permission to enter the deep inner space of a wounded person they can work true magic. May be psychic or intuitive reader/healer if Budha is strong.
Even when socially successful this native will have "boundary issues"& must acquire the wisdom to respect others' limits. Must give vent to their healing/penetrating/invasive instincts if their restlessness is to be sated but also must be guided & supervised to manage their personal extremes.
Chandra-Ketu yoga is generally unfavorable, but may give excellent results for the practicing mystic.
This native seeks emotional identity validation through material & spiritual detachment, austerity practices,& contact with other worlds.
Chandra yuti Ketu creates lifelong emotional distance in the native's relationships, due to the parents' character. The parents, particularly the mother, often have some type of mental-emotional incapacity such as their own childhood trauma, drug/alcohol issues, depression, or frequent unexplained absences from the home (physical or emotional absence) which cause the native to feel abandoned.
The result is less a lack of trust than a deep, spiritual resignation to the fact that human love & nurturing is somewhat unreliable. Thus this yoga is highly auspicious for meditation & spiritual practices that focus on detachment. The native has sacrificial tendencies & is easily drained emotionally. May attract predatory or deeply needy partners, whom the native cannot rescue -- but the native will sacrifice their own well-being in the attempt.
If Soma is uccha/swakshetra or well supported by other graha, this yoga bodes well for late-life spiritual practice, or spiritual development through bhakti (emotion) during Ketu mahadasha. Puja to Shri Ketu (Ganapati) will be calming & grounding.
