Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - "TM" uchcha

Satya Sai Baba (Puttaparthy)

The nativity with Mangala in radix lagna shows a BUILDER. Mangala-1 provides a remarkable reserve of muscular, kinetic, sexual, masculine, athletic, productive energy available as a fuel-tank to the energetic, competitive, and incessantly active physical body.

Invigorates the inner hunter, dancer, warrior, athlete.  Highly competitive, sexually in pursuit, & typically quite controlling in the home-and-cultural-education sphere due to the fierce Kuja drishti upon domain-4. Empowered to direct strong physical & ego-personality energy toward getting what one wants. 

Self-focused. Warrior, athlete, body-worker, hunter, challenger, attorney. Masculine imagery and hormonal drive surges through the body. 

Performs well in high-energy, sporting, competitive environments.  Ambitious and vigorous personality. Finds a bit of sparring to be interesting, invigorating, and fun. The native is comfortable with battle and intends to win.

Kuja is lagna is an asset in any career which is based in the use (or abuse) of the physical body: sex worker, fashion model, professional athlete, theatrical stunts, "action" films, dancer, sports trainer, massage therapist, cosmetic surgeon, etc.

25% Kuja dosha toward the first marriage (7). Unsettled childhood (4). Good for building up hidden wealth, particularly within the joint assets of marriage (8).


If male, the native is muscular & sporting; a highly sexualized person.

If female, much skill required to manage the high amounts of male energy that is cycling through the female body. The physique is narrow-hipped resembling adolescent male. Female is also sporting, sexually active, and often barren unless Guru drishti to Chandra or putra bhava.  

A charming personality - all smiles and a remarkably positive attitude. Enjoys life at the physical level. Whether overt or covert, this one likes to compete.  

  • With Rahu: compulsive unconscious aggression, especially toward the spouse. 

  • With Shani, frustrated, angry and critical. Strong sexual instincts are repressed by an equally strong sense of social duty. After a vigorous youth, the tension implodes into physical illness, later in life.


  • Karaka for sudden, violent death (e.g., in a traffic accident, or on a battlefield); death during invasive surgery; by weapon;  or death in mysterious circumstances.


Drishti:

  • 100% drishti upon bandhu bhava = Kuja attacks the natural house of placid Chandra. Conflict & aggression in the childhood home. Frequent house-moves and parental arguments in the home; emotional instability from uprooting. Damages one's trust in belongingness or ability to put down lasting roots in any one geographical place.

  • 25% Kuja's dominating 7th aspect onto kalatra bhava = attacks the natural house of pleasurable Shukra. Kuja Dosha toward the first marriage Energizes the self-defensive instinct toward quarreling with the partner; mainly this habit is a carry-over from the native's unsettled childhood.  

  • 100% Drishti of Mangala upon domain-8 = productive in Kuja's natural house. Harms marriage indirectly by stimulating sudden, forced changes in the native's relationship to the in-laws. May impulsively reveal the secrets of others. Native urges spouse toward sexual hyperactivity; also, native may push the spouse toward making ambitious contributions to pool of joint assets.  Spouse tends to earn & perform well, but under pressure. Contributes to sudden & catastrophic emergencies during periods of Kuja.


Siblings and Teams

  • One is identified with the competitive actions or character of the sibling group or team or highly coordinated corporate department.
  • Though an independent warrior, the native is nevertheless a contributing team worker who is energized by the dynamism of the group.
  • If Mangala is distinguished, the native may be the lead agent on a high-performance team (Winfrey, Welch, Churchill, Bill Clinton).

Focus of Physical Activity

  • calling attention to the physical body appearance through
  • distinctive costume,
  • energized posture, athletic movement, dance,
  • beauty contests,  asserting the personality-body image in advertising,
  • competitive sexual pursuit

Speech is highly energized and dynamic.

Destructive effects on wealth, but money-wise can be a positive for Mithuna lagna or Makara lagna (where Kuja gives the wealth yoga of L-11 in 2nd).  The main trouble is from aggressive speech, so much the worse with Rahu.  Tends toward impulsive, harsh & vulgar speaking; stigmatized dialects; talk first think later. However as always if Kuja is well-disposed, the speech is energized, ambitious, and potentially inspirational. Jyotisha is all in the details!

Second spouse if any is competitive, dynamic, and independent. 

100% Kuja dosha toward the third marriage (9). Conflicts with children (5) and father (9). Good for building up the joint assets of marriage (8).

Karaka for death in the presence of one's family or origin, or at the hands of one's own people.


Drishti:

  • 100% drishti to putra bhava = productive in the natural house of friendly Surya. Raises energy for dramatic self-expression and stimulates conflict with children, especially the eldest child. Style of aggression depends on the rashi of Kuja. Benefits political action and theatrical success.

  • 25% - drishti upon domain-8 = productive in Kuja's natural house. "soft" Kuja dosha, caused by native's experience of aggression or sudden, forced changes in the relationship with spouse's family. Drives building-up of the joint assets of marriage. Native may urge the spouse toward sexual hyperactivity. Spouse tends to earn & perform well but they feel pressured.

  • 100% 8th drishti to dharma bhava = productive in the natural house of friendly Guru. Conflict with the father, social paternalism, & the Patriarchy. Animosity toward ceremonial religion and its priesthoods. Self-initiating philosopher; impatient with old style of addressing deities and conventional trappings of the worship traditions. Moral maverick.

Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor

Favorable for business.  If He rules good houses, Mars can contribute to the self-made wealth of the third house. 


Sibling Group and Team
  • Generally unfavorable for the younger sibling, unless there are good aspects.  Traditionally, Mangala in 3 generates "karako bhavo nashto" which can over-energize the sibling house causing excessive fighting and even bloodshed for the younger sibling.

  • Typically, Mangala in 3 indicates that the younger sibling is not born on the material plane; or if born, their life is short.

  • Similar to Mangala in 8, intensifies and reduces the lifespan, so that a great deal can be accomplished vigorously in a short time.


Increases the volume of communications in the native's life. Speaking, writing, listening, reading, & constant meetings. Active & demanding routine of daily life.  Depending on Budha, native may be a productive administrator, writer & teacher.

25% "soft" Kuja dosha toward the third marriage (9). Can fight back against social conflict and health imbalance (6). Good for building up career through energetic works (10). Very competitive in commerce and business administration (3). 

Karaka for death by mental disturbance, by one's own hand, or in the presence of one's siblings or team-mates.


Drishti: 

  • 100% Kuja's 4th aspect to Ari bhava = productive in the natural house of neutral Budha. Energizes the native's contact with agents of animosity, illness, crime, and debt.  Mars' aspect to his own natural house is usually favorable.  For example, if Mars is exalted one positive outcome in this worst-of-all-negative houses might be a highly successful business in managing large-scale debt.  

Drishti of a malefic graha to a malefic house is usually favorable.  E.g., if Mars = uchcha, one positive outcome of the Kuja drishti to the maha-dushthamsha might be a highly successful business in managing large-scale poverty & debt. Mangala energizes the native to do battle with  enemies - and win! Also, one does battle with illness, debt, social conflict, and imbalances of all kinds. An excellent placement for police and military; for the "war on poverty", war on illiteracy, war on .

  • 25% 7th drishti of Mars to dharma bhava = productive in the natural house of friendly Guru. Conflict with the father and animosity toward ceremonial religion.  Maverick philosopher, self-made relationship with the deities, little use for stale old traditions.

  • 100% 8th aspect to karmaa bhava = surprisingly productive in the natural house of enemy Shani - because Makara is the house of Kuja's natural exaltation. 

Kuja the Huntsman will flourish where the Law of the Jungle applies.

Energizes the dominant career path but native must be positioned in an overtly competitive, high-stakes leadership environment for this drishti to give good fruit.  

Much sport and conflict along the career path during Kuja periods; yet, if Kuja is well-disposed, native will win all fights.  Best for money-profit business, not as beneficial for NGO or government work where loyalty & conformity are more important.  

 

Focus of Physical Activity

  • short-term travel, business and holiday
  • writing reports and delivering announcements

Can destabilize the early home environment; bring conflict into the home and harm the mother. Ideally the home is a stable place with deep roots and not much moving about.  Mars brings in movement.  Unsettling, frequent moves or deep emotional conflict in the family home unless Moon or Guru help. Native is self-directed; little patience for restrictive family codes.  Mother works a demanding job or home may be constantly renovated.  

  • 100% Kuja dosha toward the first marriage (7)

  • 'manglik' disability may be modified or eliminated by favorable drishti from domain-1. E.g., Dwight D. Eisenhower drishti of uchcha Budha from lagna, marriage is stable and pleasant

Unsettled childhood (4) with overt conflict in the family home (4). Rashi of Kuja will indicate the contentious topics.

Good for energetically building up the career (10). Benefits energetic pursuit of gains from income through independent, competitive market behaviors (11).

  • Karaka for early death of the mother. 

  • Karaka for death at home.


Drishti:

  • 100% 4th aspect to yuvati bhava = attacks the natural house of agreement-seeking Shukra. Creates a Kuja Dosha upon the first marriage.  Early childhood conflict with parents is projected into the marriage.  When Kuja occupies bandhu bhava the native's parents are agitated emotionally.  

  • 25% 7th drishti to karmaa bhava= cautiously productive in the house of Kuja's natural exaltation. (Kuja flourishes under the Law of the Jungle.) Energizes the career path but native must be positioned in an overtly competitive business setting for this drishti to give good fruit.  Natural tension produced by Mars' aspect to Shani's natural house can generate much conflict along the career path during Kuja periods; however if Kuja is strong native will win the fights.  Best for independent consulting; not good where loyalty and conformity are important.  

  • 100% 8th aspect to labha bhava = cautiously productive in the natural house of Shani, Care must be taken to keep earning behaviors within the limits of the law. Energizes income from self-initiated  business dealings.  Natural tension produced by Kuja's drishti to Shani's natural house can generate conflict between conventional earning styles vs. Kuja's aggressive, penetrating market behaviors. 

Earns best when not constrained by a regular salary but rather earns by commission, through association (including marriage) or other method which rewards personal initiative. High-energy behavior in marketplace, even if illegal, will prosper. Depends on Shani whether the illicit earnings will be punished or not. Good for community development networking and fundraising for political campaigns..

Energizes children, winning of games and contests, genius of individual intelligence, games and gambling, & creative performance.

Typically one or more miscarriages. In the worst cases, multiple stillbirths, or death of living children. Limits the number of children but if there is other favorable drishti (notably from Guru) upon putra bhava, children will be born. Athletic, competitive children.  

  • In Mesha, Thula, Simha, Kumbha, and Dhanau, Kuja gives strong, independent children. If Guru occupies domain 1, 9 or 11, one child is assured.

  • For Mesha/Vrischikha lagna, Kuja in domain-5 can give a dynamic career in literary or performance arts.  Otherwise, can hyper-activate the downside of speculative interests such as gambling. 

Kuja + Rahu = tendency toward compulsive gambling, mainly during Rahu periods.

  • Karaka for death by heart failure, or in the presence of one's children.

    • income from the marketplace activities (11)
    • dream-knowledge and the psychic imagination (12)
    • confidential information and mystical secrets (8).

Adolescence (5)

  • the native with Mangala in 5 is particularly combative and self-defensive in adolescence
  • Although Mangala is comfortable in a natural house of Surya,  if the rashi of 5 is hostile to Mangala, the native may be passive-aggressive or possibly even self-destructive during adolescence
  • sports and military exercise may help to express the aggressive tendencies along positive lines; however again the rashi of Mangala must support direct physical action (Charles Windsor, Christopher Reeve)
  • Mangala in rashis of Shani, Shukra, Budha, and Chandra must express indirectly
  • Mangala in rashi of Budha is particularly snide and critical as an unhappy adolescent (Charles Manson )


Learning Style (5)

  • very competitive; if Mangala is well-disposed, the native wins at most games.
  • the native pursues dynamically energized creative empowerments
  • if Mangala is strong by rashi, there is a good deal of vital energy available to develop speculative ventures

  • One will make one's mark in the world, via some type of competitive intelligence

Focus of Vital Physical Activity

  • stage performance
  • creative literature
  • political endeavors esp. public speaking
  • gambling, games, and leisurely entertainments
  • managing children
  • dynamic and competitive expressions of intelligence, quiz shows,
  • courtly, romantic, and royal pursuits

Drishti:

  • 100% 4th drishti to randhra bhava = productive toward the natural house of Mangala. Presuming Kuja is favorable by Rashi, & barring blockage from negative graha in 8, Kuja drishti to 8 will energize pursuit of wealth through joint assets of marriage. The spouse contributes to marriage wealth. Increased drive toward tantric knowledge and dynamic response to catastrophic change. Contributes to sudden & catastrophic emergencies during periods of Kuja.

  • 25% 7th aspect to labha bhava = cautiously productive in the natural house of Shani, so long as the native keeps earnings within the rule of marketplace law.

    25% Kuja dosha toward the fifth marriage (11). 

    Energizes income from self-initiated business dealings.  Natural tension between conventional earning styles vs. Mars' aggressive market behaviors. Earnings through association (including marriage) will prosper.  Good for community development networking. Arguments with friends during Kuja period, often about money.

  • 100 % 8th drishti to vyaya bhava = productive in the natural house of friendly Guru. stimulates the imagination especially regarding "bed pleasures".  Native may have a theatrical streak which seeks expression in the boudoir; or, if literary, a highly energizes romantic imagination that could be productively engaged in the arts.

Very good placement.  Destroys enemies, debt, & disease as native becomes a crime-fighter, with agency of the Enemy of Imbalances.  Native engages one's own quota of conflict in this life toward productive use in the battle against ignorance, poverty, crime, starvation, exploitation, disenfranchisement,  illiteracy, prejudice, & environmental pollution.

One wins the fight against health imbalances; a physically healthy person.

Often a profession dealing with international trade, debt finance, crime, medicine, other energized management of social conflicts.  Excellent for police and public health officials. The native spends time & energy engaged in conflict, but ultimately if Kuja is auspicious, one will win the conflict.

A malefic graha in a malefic house is favorable.  E.g., if Mars = uchcha, one positive outcome of the Kuja in the maha-dushthamsha might be a highly successful business in attacking large-scale poverty & debt. Mangala energizes the native to do battle with one's enemies - and win! Battle with illness, debt, social conflict, and imbalances of all kinds. 

Kuja in 6  may also strain relationships with the mother's siblings (3rd-from-4th) and cause harm to one's physical health via overwork. 

Mangala in the house of disagreement indicates active fighting particularly with employees or servants; however, one tends to (ultimately) win the battle after repeated efforts.

An excellent placement for police & military; and for social-change activists fighting against exploitation and social imbalance  Ironically, anti-war activists also prosper with this placement of Mars.

25% Kuja dosha toward the third marriage (11). Dynamic imagination (12) excellent for solving crimes.  Athletic and aggressive Kuja drishti to (1) favors military, police, other physical intervention professionals.

  • Karaka for death by digestive disease, by iatrogenic disease; by poisoning; or in the presence of police, or near one's enemies.


Drishti:

  • 100% 4th drishti to dharma bhava is productive in the natural house of friendly Guru. brings strong conflict with the father, social paternalism, & the Patriarchy. Animosity toward ceremonial religion and its priesthoods. Self-initiating philosopher; impatient with old style of addressing deities and conventional trappings of the worship traditions. Moral maverick. 

  • 25% 7th drishti to vyaya bhava is productive in the natural house of friendly Guru. Stimulates the private imagination, especially regarding "bed pleasures" and war fantasies.  Native may have a theatrical streak which seeks expression in the boudoir; or, if literary, a highly energized romantic imagination that could be productively engaged in the imaginative arts. Too active for sitting meditation, but may benefit from walking and other active meditative practice.

  • 100% 8th drishti to the radix lagna is productive in the natural house of Mangala. An overt or covert fighter.  Street-smart, survivalist, aggressive, savvy in world markets.  Highly individualized behavior. Likes solo sports such as running.


Das says: 

"... considered helpful; it has a great destructive force which enables you to transcend all sorts of difficulties (it destroys the difficulties represented by the 6th house such as disease and debts). 

Even if you somehow, somewhere, get involved in criminal proceedings, you emerge unscathed; afflicted by physical sufferings, you may experience a sudden cure. 

People in general may find you tight-fisted, but you will not be encumbered by debt

... induces a great deal of physical activity; events may happen so fast & from such unexpected quarters that you may find yourself in a whirlwind, both physically & mentally. 

In the process, you will develop fortitude, adaptability, & leadership. 

There is often a feeling of martyrdom; you may bleed physically & psychologically. 

Your life experiences may make you rigid & opinionated. You have powerful enemies; but they, being defeated by your strong arms, robust body & fiery looks, turn their backs on the battlefield. 

You are brainy & prosperous, but this placement is not favorable for the maternal uncles. You may lose wealth; but accumulate it again. 

Good imagination and alert; affliction to mother's family members; short-tempered; friendly to noble people; sensuous. Sexy and hungry; handsome and tall. 

Leadership; protector of family members; understanding with relatives; victor; enemies in plenty, generous, licentious. 

Strong Mars may lead you to cattle-rearing. Danger from poison, fire and weapons. Religious and keeps company with saintly people. 

You may suffer at the hands of servants or employees, as they misuse your generosity and liberality-leading to theft, quarrels, disputes and losses. 

Active, energetic and enthusiastic; liable to overdo yourself. Mars controls the tastes; therefore, by overeating you may impair your health through indiscretion, carelessness, extravagance and accidents. 

Surgical operations. Afflicted Mars causes inflammations or accidents to the part of the body indicated by the Sign occupied. 

If this Mars is in Fixed Signs, it causes organic diseases; complaints in bowels, diphtheria, nervous disorders, gravel; heart troubles."

The native is much inclined toward war or is at least highly interested in it.

  • USA Pres. 1, George Washington ;  USA Pres 26, Theodore Roosevelt; USA Pres. 41, George H. W. Bush "Sr." were all political "hawks" -- great supporters of war as a method of achieving or enforcing agreement. Adolf Hitler notoriously so.

  • B. V. Raman and Rudolf Steiner were not war-mongers in the least, but both lived in times of great war, and both engaged in extensive professional commentary upon war and its consequences.  Shri Raman's World War II predictions helped solidify his professional reputation,  as domain-7 = 10th-from-10th career and public standing.

  • The purportedly clairvoyant epileptic guru Elizabeth Clare Prophet famously predicted a devastating nuclear war and instructed thousands of her cult members to build underground bunkers containing hoards of supplies to survive for years. Although the fantasy holocaust never materialized, and the cult eventually collapsed, her detailed and passionate predictions show a strong association with imagery of war.


Unsettled conditions in first & second marriage. Speech (2) is direct and proactive. Does battle with traditions of the family of origin; needs to break away from the family values and live more independently. 

Energizes career (10) and assists accumulated wealth (2). Finds the company of active negotiators and alliance-builders, including the spouse, advisers, and colleagues of equal standing. Good for attorneys and others in peer-to-peer conflict situations. Kuja + Budha = excellent negotiator.  

100% Kuja dosha toward the second marriage (2), to the extent that a second marriage, if applicable, probably does not last long. Does not too much harm the first marriage, although the first spouse is direct, competitive & ambitious by nature. 

  • Better if the native can arrange to travel frequently, ideally for profitable purpose of making business agreements or providing advice (cf. Raman ). With travel, most of the conflict between partners will dissipate into the dynamic energy of the traveling and frequent opportunity to negotiate with new people.

  • George H. W. Bush  (the elder) was almost never at home during the first two decades  of his career (his work office was 1000 miles away from the house of his wife and children); as a result, his difficult Mangala in 7 did not harm the marriage contract.

Good for attorneys and deal-makers (7).

25% Kuja drishti to lagna, favors mental or social intervention professionals, e.g. counselors, advisers, agents of the law court.


Drishti:

  • 100% 4th drishti to karmaa bhava is cautiously productive in the natural house of Shani where the Law of the Jungle rules Energizes the career path but native must be positioned in an overtly competitive business setting for this drishti to give good fruit.  Can be much conflict along the career path during Kuja periods; however if Kuja is strong native will win the fights.  Best for money-profit business, not good for non-profit or government work where loyalty and conformity are more important.  

  • 25% 7th drishti to the radix lagna is productive in the natural house of Kuja.  Overt or covert fighter.  Street-smart, survivalist, aggressive, savvy in world markets.  Highly self-initiated behavior. Likes solo sports.

  • 100% 8th drishti to dhana bhava is disruptive in the natural house of agreeable Shukra.. Damages wealth through overspending. Speech is too direct, clipped or harsh.  Much the worse if Kuja+ Rahu.  Career often involves conflict management, so that harsh speech may be suitable to the job.  Qualities of rising Mars to be found in 2nd spouse.  Only third marriage is peaceful.

Harms longevity. Native enjoys a short, vigorous life with a quick, perhaps bloody, end.

Matter's of Kuja's two houses are subject to sudden upheaval and destructive change.

To have Mangala's portfolio radically, even catastrophically, destroyed during the lifetime is indeed a good thing for Vrischika & Mithuna lagnas, where Kuja = L-6, and for  Vrishabha & Dhanau lagna, where Kuja =  L-12 .  

For  Vrishabha, Mithuna, Vrishchika and Dhanusha lagnas,

  •  Kuja in Randhrasthana = a boost up.

  • Strongest benefits for Vrischika & Mithuna (Albert Einstein) where major obstacles from Aristhana, such as enemies, debts, & disease, are aggressively  destroyed. 

Mithuna lagna may be enormously successful in secret business dealings.

  • secret knowledge, tantric mystery skills (Yogananda, Rajneesh),
  • intervention into psychological trauma states,  healing touch, surgery, midwifery,
  • diagnosis of hidden conditions
Sibling Group and Teams
  • Creates the drishti upon 3 which nearly always generates the birth or acquisition of a younger sibling (full, half or step.) However one of the siblings will get into some trouble in life, via challenges related to secret dealings and impulsiveness.

  • If Rahu drishti to Mangala in 8,  culturally taboo sexual behavior.  The native is not completely free from these challenges either, but the sibling expresses the taboo behavior in more extreme form.

  • Count sibling rank from the Chandra lagna. Younger sibling = 3rd from Chandra, elder sibling = 11th from Chandra.

  • If Mangala occupies unfavorable bhava counted from both Chandra lagna and from radix lagna, there may be serious disturbance in the native's life caused by a sibling. However if one of these angles is favorable, the sibling's trouble is usually contained within their own life, and the native is not much harmed.


The native is either a great healer, or a controlling, oversexed & manipulative individual. Or both. With sufficient tantric advancement, may be able to penetrate the auras of others in order to do "psychic surgery" & other requested interventions.

Increased drive toward tantric knowledge and dynamic, self-initiated response to catastrophic change.

Generally favorable for Mesha lagna & Vrischikha lagna, provided one has access to conscious healing traditions.  Driven pursuit of mystery traditions & secret societies.  

Success in undercover investigations, insurance adjuster, "first responder", emergency medicine, direct intervention in life-and-death situations, handling volatile & dangerous conflict, all forms of catastrophic change, plus other sudden, forced-upheaval types of enterprise.

25% Kuja dosha toward the second marriage. Kuja gives good results in his natural house. Excellent for work in confidential or secret specialties such as private investments, psychiatry, or tantra 8). If Kuja occupies a friendly rashi, one handles emergencies with a direct & assertive style.

  • Karaka for a sudden death; by tantric methods of intentional transformation; by weapon; from hidden diseases; or by mysterious causes including guerilla ambush or secret attack

  • "If the 8th house be possessed by a malefic planet, and the 2nd house by a benefic planet, the woman will die before her husband."~~ Bhrigu Sutram Ch. 24, Shloka 14


Drishti:

  • 100% 4th aspect to labha bhava is cautiously productive in the natural house of Shani.  Energizes income-producing behavior from self-initiated business dealings.  Natural tension produced by Kuja's drishti to Shani's natural house can generate conflict between conventional earning styles and Kuja's my-own-way market behaviors.  Intentionally independent investments will prosper. 

  • 25% 7th drishti to dhana bhava is disruptive in the natural house of agreeable Shukra.  May damage wealth through overspending. Makes the speech too direct, clipped or harsh.  Much the worse with Rahu.  Qualities of rising Mars to be found in 2nd spouse; 2nd marriage typically brief.  

  • 100% 8th drishti to sahaja bhava is productive in the natural house of neutral Budha.  Helps small-group communications.  Excellent for think-tank type teamwork, especially regarding avant-garde metaphysical ideas.  Mars aspect an contribute to the self-made wealth of the third house. 


    As a "bad planet in a bad house" Kuja in 8 does some good things!

    In any rashi, Kuja gives a sudden physical departure from this earthly vale. No long painful suffering before death. Poof, you're outta here! Typically an "accidental" death. The best Kuja to have, in 8, is a strong one, like USA Pres 35 JF Kennedy  who died instantly from Kuja/Mesha/8 (metal weapon, blood wound, head/brain). 

    In Karkata, where Kuja is extremely weakened and passive-aggressive, the conditions of death (not the timing of death) will be watery, malingering, usually at home, and in Ashlesha particularly the implication is family manipulative scheming and emotional turmoil.

    Of course this "benefit" of a quick death is the result of intensely malefic effects, so only the consciously skillful tantriki can really enjoy it. 

    If one is "prepared" for a sudden death, for example by reading in the spiritual literature of death (e.g., Tibetan Book of Living and Dying) and understanding what to expect, then the quick process of liberation from the physical form can be a spiritual as well as a physical blessing.

Unfavorable for one's relationship to the father, signifying competitive conflict or early separation

If the competition is balanced with discipline from favorable drishti, the father may become a rigorous coach.

In Mesha, Vrischika = Father may be an engineer, military officer, or athlete.

Karaka for early death or injury to the father. 

Both parents experience stress during the native's childhood, because from dharma bhava Kuja also aspects house-4 of the mother/family home.  Conflict between native's parents. 

Conflict with guru, impatient with university studies, and aggressive toward priests.  Often the selfish instincts will override the moral principles (Tiger Woods, Kuja-9 in sensual  Vrishabha).

Restless in the temple. Dynamic creative drive toward development of religion (9), imagination (12), media publication (3) and patriotic ownerhsip of lands and vehicles (4) -- yet, must have the teachings individualized to suit oneself.  Not easy to find his place in the parental culture.  If exalted, father may be very successful in business & the native may be a professor or other icon of success in the secular priesthood e.g. the universities, specializing in conflict & competition. 

Powerful imagination, frequent foreign-travel (12) and house-moves (4) esp. during periods of Mars.

Karaka for death in a holy place or ceremonial setting, or while doing the bidding of one's father. 

Siblings
  • Creates the drishti upon 3 which nearly always generates the birth or acquisition of a younger sibling (full, half or step.)


Drishti:

  • 100% 4th drishti to vyaya bhava is productive in the natural house of friendly Guru.  Stimulates the imagination especially regarding "bed pleasures".  Native's guidance capabilities energize and are energized by psychic intelligence and a vivid artistic imagination.  Excellent for pastoral counselors, priests, psychiatrists.

  • 25% 7th drishti to sahaja bhava is productive in the natural house of neutral Budha.  Helps small-group communications.  Excellent for think-tank type teamwork, especially regarding avant-garde metaphysical ideas.  Contributes energy to the self-made wealth of domain-3.  Guarantees presence of a younger sibling (full, half, or step).

  • 100% 8th drishti to bandhu bhava is disruptive in the natural house of placid Chandra. Self-initiated behavior and some arguing or conflict between the parents or caretakers in the childhood home are inherent in Kuja's 8th aspect; as are frequent house-moves and emotional instability that accompanies unrootedness.

Kuja the Huntsman will flourish where the Law of the Jungle rules.  Energizes the career, but final success depends on the lagna.  Kumbha lagna and Karka lagna do very well.  

The native with Kuja in domain-10 will work exceedingly hard in public service leadership roles.

There is career success in terms of wide recognition and acquisition of responsibilities and titles. But the workload is fierce, and the native must use every molecule of personal dynamic energy to accomplish one's daunting list of leadership tasks.

One may die in office, while conducting executive works.


Drishti:

  • 100% 4th drishti to radix lagna is productive in the natural house of Mangala.  Overt or covert fighter.  Self-promoting. Street-smart, survivalist, pro-active, competitively savvy.  Highly individualized behavior. Likes solo sports. Needs to win.

  • 25% drishti to bandhu bhava is disruptive in the natural house of placid Chandra. Self-initiated behavior and some arguing or conflict between the parents or caretakers in the childhood home are inherent in Kuja's 8th aspect; as are frequent house-moves and emotional instability that accompanies unrootedness.  

  • 100% drishti to putra bhava is productive in the natural house of friendly Surya.  Raises energy for dramatic self-expression and stimulates conflict with children, especially the eldest child. Could be a successful sports coach if Surya or Guru occupy domain-5. Style of aggression depends on the rashi of Kuja. Benefits political action & creative, literary works.

Energizes income-producing and goal-achieving behaviors. 

The native directs one's vital force toward the pursuit of goals within large, rule-driven, interconnected systems. 

Kuja in domain-11 = a karaka for wealth & achievement; native has energy and drive to generate ambitious earnings. The native makes personal profits in the marketplace while also aggressively battling social evils. (See Kuja drishti to domain-6, below). 

Competitive, ambitious goal-setter and achiever. Dynamic operation within large associations, interlocking networks of friendship, and the profit-driven marketplace. Brilliant fund-raiser for human-community development causes, if Kuja is blessed.

Good for political activism toward community development goals, although the native must be cautious of pushing too hard. Much dynamic energy injected into social environments, fundraisers, large conferences, meetings, and rallies. A bit aggressive in style, but generally successful in making multiple supportive connections throughout the elaborately rule-driven networks of the marketplace. 

May be socially perceived as selfish or domineering in group-association behaviors, exhibiting a competitive "my way or the highway" style. Self-promotion and excessive competitiveness can be exacerbated by proximity to Surya. 

May be a "bully" in the playground if neechcha Kuja. One can generate profit but only by leading others to march to one's own drummer. Energetic but not fully sophisticated in social group relationships, unless Guru or Surya also occupy domain-11. 

  • 100% Kuja dosha toward the material conditions of the second marriage (2). 


Drishti:

  • 100% 4th drishti to dhana bhava is disruptive in the natural house of pleasure-seeking Shukra.  May damage wealth somewhat, through overspending. Makes the speech very direct and possibly angry. Conflict surrounding the second marriage; if the 2nd marriage can be arranged, it is typically brief and warlike.  

  • 25% 7th drishti to putra bhava is productive in the natural house of friendly Surya. gives some competitive arguing with children, disagreements with adolescents and also energizes the personal creative expressions such as literature and political competitions. Children may be athletes and are themselves energetic & ambitious. Native may display some dominating behavior around children, but only if Kuja's masculine energy is not smoothly flowing.

  • 100% Kuja's 8th aspect to Ari bhava is productive in the natural house of neutral Budha. Energizes the native's abilities in personal and professional  argumentation, foreign trade, enemies, and illnesses.  As a general rule, the native is able to succeed in worthy battle against health imbalances. However the final results depend on the full disposition of domain-6.

The drishti of a malefic graha to a malefic house is usually favorable.  

E.g., if Mars = uchcha, one positive outcome of the Kuja drishti to the maha-dushthamsha might be a highly successful business in managing large-scale poverty & debt. Mangala energizes the native to do battle with  enemies - and win! 

Also, one does battle with illness, debt, social conflict, and imbalances of all kinds. An excellent placement for police and military; for the "war on poverty", war on illiteracy, war on .

Mangala in 12 gives the physical, dynamic, competitive ability to vigorously pursue private matters, such as clandestine foreign diplomacy (Margaret Thatcher, Eleanor Roosevelt ) or bedroom secrets (Camilla Parker-Bowles-Windsor, journalist Barbara Walters) or meditation and private prayer (Jerry Falwell ).

Mangala in Vyaya bhava moves like a warrior through the worlds of of astrology and dreams without necessarily stopping to understand. The sexual conquesting behaviors and impulses push forward in the lush imaginary  traffic on the bridge between the astral plane (subconscious) and the material plane (conscious).

Kuja in 12 also contributes to the dissolution of the material plane identity. Mangala's aggressions tend to siphon off the vitality from the animal, blood-fed, muscular body and transmit the life-force back into the dream world. As a result Kuja becomes associated with losses. Despite his positive force and inherent characteristic of movement, the two domains which are ruled by Angaraka in 12 will get drained of their positive reserves.

The native may experience insomnia and other hyper-activation of the bedroom or mediation space. Drishti to 3 and 6 from Mangala's position in 12 suggests that disturbance of peaceful slumber can have health impact upon the mental (3) and physical (6) organs, as well as unhappy effect upon marriage.


Churns up the subconscious, making the individual a primarily reactive personality.  

Excellent for psychiatry, counseling, hospital professional, healing spa, others working in sanctuary space development.

Energizes relationship to foreign lands, increasing foreign travel, and excites the imagination regarding foreign battles to the extent of becoming invasive or warlike in pursuit.

One has a good deal of energy available for foreign travel and other "discovery" missions such as deep-sea diving, under-earth mining, and psychiatric investigation in a hospital (12) setting.

If Mangala is ill-disposed, the native could become the victim of violence in a camp, hospital, or dormitory.

Siblings
  • Creates the 4th drishti upon 3 which nearly always generates the birth or acquisition of a younger sibling (full, half or step.)


  • 100% Kuja's 4th aspect to domain-3 is productive in the natural house of neutral Budha.  A competitive & ambitious communicator. Drive to perform in all media, but particularly one has dynamic energy toward writing.

  • 25% Kuja's 7th aspect to Ari bhava is productive in the natural house of neutral Budha energizes legalistic argumentation, foreign trade, enemies, and illnesses.   Benefits of malefic aspect to maha-dushthamsha as always. 

  • 100% 8th aspect onto kalatra bhava is disruptive in the natural house of agreement-seeking Shukra. Creates a 'soft' Kuja Dosha toward the first marriage by causing sudden, forced disruption in the native's relationship to the in-laws.  The native's imagination is hyper-activated, there may be accusations arising from eruption of fantasy or dream visions. Resolves better with therapy, seclusion, and meditation.
