Mangala - Angaraka - Kuja
12 Rashi Qualities
Friends of Mars = Ravi, Soma, Guru
Enemy of Mars = Budha
Neutral = Shukra, Shani
Mesha [Aries]
Swakshetra
Paul Newman
Michel Foucault
Agile, aggressive, victorious. Direct physical strength, simple style of action.
Animal instincts express clearly for the hunter with no resistance unless impeded by drishti of Shani. Natural athlete, warrior, hero. Works to win. Full focus of energy directed at his goal, with no complicating influences. Usually seeks work in competitive sports, military, dance theatre, other athletic venues. Abundant sexual energy; may be a challenge to properly direct this flow.
Joy in movement. Heroic accomplishments if supported by other more sophisticated and mature planets. If this Kuja position is the only strong graha in the nativity, the native will tend to stay with adolescent expressions of the competitive body energy such as racing.
Kuja in house-4 makes marriage trouble. Even with good intentions, Kuja's 4th drishti upon the marriage house applies too much force. This native needs fierce competition and room to move.
If Mars is in his Multrikona House, in his Dasha, the native will maintain to be in his caste and will acquire wife, children, and wealth. He will become valorous, fond of sexual acts, and intelligent." - BPHS
[Kuja's Mulatrikona - 0-18 Mesha]
Vrishabha [Taurus]
Tony Blair [uccha Shukra]
Arnold Schwartzenegger
Camilla Parker-Bowles [uccha Shukra navamsha]
Will want to work around & through women, luxury, & money. Whether the native is male or female, they must have quality female support to succeed in their work. This is more obvious in the case of prominent men whose female supporters are famous, but it will be known also in the case of women by enquiring more into their network of female relatives & friends. Because female energetic interaction is so essential, successful expression of Kuja-Vrishabha depends almost entirely on the condition of Kuja's lord Shukra.
If Kuja occupies a good angle or parivartan with Shukra, will build wealth & success. Flourishes in the arts & entertainment business, where Kuja's physical vitality lends the energy to get big, glamorous, sensually luscious but tastefully gracious projects fully developed. Produces splendid entertainments featuring delicious foods and wines with tactile pleasures of many varieties. Works in and with forests, flowers, and fields. With uccha Shukra can be amazingly charismatic, able to infuse all of their interactions with a pleasurable and high-value content that makes their customers come back for more.
If Shukra is ill-disposed, much trouble through women and the direct energy of Kuja is thwarted into dissipation of sensual indulgence.
Mithuna [Gemini]
enemy rashi
Nancy Davis Reagan
Barbara Bush
Henry Kissinger
Mars unhappy, overly mentalized in His enemy Budha's sign. Extremely well organized with a detailed, military mind. Produces copious & microscopically correct analysis, reports, documentation etc. Fiercely defensive of their own ideas. Can be a compulsive planner & project manager. Administrative warrior: very productive in the world of meetings, conferences, reports. Tends to be blunt & terse in speech & literary correspondence, but this really depends on Budha.
Little patience for the mentally slow or ploddingly inarticulate. Builds relationships for the purpose of manipulating them. Tends to micromanage people, projects, and events. Uses their arsenal of information as defensive weaponry, to defend their path of self-advancement. Can be intimidating.
If Budha is well disposed & in a good relative angle to Kuja, the mental agitation is less quarrelsome. Much of the excess mental energy is funneled into professions involving specialized, highly detailed communication. Can become distinguished, successful operators in information-intensive environments such as politics & diplomacy. Excellent, easily accessible memory according to Budha's strength/ Verbal acuity. Has the hunter's sense of perfect timing as to when to deploy information and when to restrain it. Makes pointed & accurate observations, including very funny jokes!
If Kuja occupies a 2/12 or 6/8 angle to Budha, expect verbal & written aggression. May be hurtfully critical of others even via jokes, but largely unaware of their impact because the animal aggression of Mars is so unconsciously instinctive. If Kuja dosha is present, much of the verbal aggression will be directed toward the spouse.
Karka [Cancer]
Hillary Clinton [kuja uccha navamsha]
Thomas Jefferson [kuja-chandra parivartana yoga]
Kuja is fallen in Karkataka (Karka) which means that 'when he is good, he is very very good; and when he is bad he is horrid'. When He is good would be when He achieves neechha banga such as when he rises in Karka, where Kuja is yogakaraka lord of house 5 & 10. That can be a VERY powerful position for Mars, makes a great sea-captain & marine environmentalist under the right supporting conditions.
However normally plain-old fallen Mars is an emotional mess, very wounded, & out to wreak havoc on the world that wounded him. Tends toward psycho- emotional aggression (passive-aggressive in weak houses or if oppressed by Shani), very moody and high permission to lash out when provoked; hair trigger; bad space; hurts people including himself.
Simha [Leo]
Ammachi [surya exalted navamsha]
G. W. Bush [surya exalted navamsha]
Jackie Kennedy Onassis [surya fallen navamsha]
Indira Gandhi [surya-kuja parivartana yoga]
Princess Diana [surya debilitated navamsha]
Generally a successful location for Kuja, but much depends on Ravi's dignity. If Ravi is not harmed, Kuja/Simha will act regally, ethically, & with executive command. Likes to be seen in celebrity company. Works hard to represent & manifest the subconscious expectations of their people. Vocation for leadership. Working toward being an icon of the best ideals of his tribe, so that his royal past can rise again. Can be ambivalent about public life, resentful, egoistic, bossy & indecisive if Surya is weak.
Finds work in politics, fashion, & celebrity venues. Energized with trend-setting and leadership instincts. Promotes ethical social change according to the strength of Ravi. Actions are directed toward achieving and developing socially prominent and publicly influential roles.
If Kuja occupies an auspicious angle from Surya, the native enjoys life via his abundant confidence & vitality. His main work is simply being himself, to the best of his ability. Unless Shani oppresses either Kuja or Surya, this native's confidence in his own righteous entitlement is energized by his abundant theatrical vitality. He proceeds to enact his role without much concern for the needs or opinions of others. Generally his actions are admired.
Both Surya & Kuja's navamsha lord must be strong, and Shani must not interfere with either Surya or Kuja, to gain best fruits.
Kanya [Virgo]
enemy rashi
Nelson Mandela
Mars unhappy in enemy Budha's sign. Overly energized, warlike mental process. Builds wealth & information. Typically a good memory, esp. for grievances. Here are the bean-counters, the dieters, the human file-cabinets, the card sharks. Neutral friends, nasty enemies. Can subtly & effectively invade another person's mental space with their sharp thought-tools.
Verbally aggressive & adversarial with a sarcastic edge. Tends toward hypocritical arguments. Self-righteous - i.e., upholds the righteousness of the law while breaking its terms in personal practice. Likes mapping & planning, setting goals & moving into the future proactively. Little awareness of how they affect others. If Kuja Dosha is formed from Kuja/Kanya, accuses the spouse of breaking agreements.
Much depends on Kuja's lord Budha. If Budha is well disposed & in good relative angle to Kuja, the native will be honest & objective - albeit verbally forthright. If Kuja occupies a 2/12 or 6/8 to Budha, the brain & the mouth suffer internal animosity. Expect that internal conflict between the objective truth vs. the native's perceived need to defend himself using argument, to result in verbal aggression.
If Kuja dosha, much verbal aggression directed toward the spouse who becomes the sparring partner. Kuja dosha from Kanya generates self-righteous marital arguments. (Moreso if either Kuja or Budha is lagnesha.)
The great amplifier as always is Rahu. If Rahu magnifies Mars in Virgo, expect the verbal aggression and elaborate, legalistic argumentation as well as characteristic mapping and planning, to reach compulsive levels - especially during periods of Rahu or Kuja.
Thula [Libra]
Depends very much on the disposition of Kuja's lord Venus. If Shukra is in a subha place, Kuja will promote balanced, fair relationships while simultaneously enhancing the sensual luxury of His own life.
Enjoys high status & works to achieve it. Finds work as a balancer/rebalancer; facilitator/arbitrator; designer or collaborator. Energizes the native's pursuit of beauty, equality & equity, balance, luxury, and harmony. However being an active agent Kuja can pursue these delicate matters with excessive, even damaging, vigor.
Both Shukra and Kuja's navamsha lord must be auspicious to give best results.
Vrischika [Scorpio]
swakshetra
Oprah Winfrey
Mircea Eliade
Swakshetra is a winning position for Kuja in virtually every house, so long as Shani does not interfere with Mars' energy flow. Kuja here is the shaman-hunter using His psychic sensitivity *in the body* as antennae, picking up subtle signals which lead Him to His prey.
Deeply inquisitive, can be a tremendous healer if Kuja in favorable house with drishti of Guru. Penetrating physical & psychological energy, especially gifted in massage, surgery, police work, psychiatry, therapeutic & military interventions of all kinds.
Sexual energy, strategically competitive, daring, works to win by shrewdness & stealth. Charismatic, manipulative, deep vitality. Pursues conflict, danger & adventure. Likes to hide their own secrets and expose others' secrets. A master of tantric knowledge, excellent revealer and also protector of the hidden & occult.
Dhanus [Sagittarius]
Theodore Roosevelt
Edgar Cayce
Wonderful for sports work, especially coaching. Enthusiastic and has plenty of energy for encouraging others to reach their goals. A nearly religious commitment to human betterment. Very frequently chooses a legal and/or political career, where they can express their optimistic drive to advance society toward greater goals.
Ultimately depends on condition of his lord and friend, Guru. International viewpoint and global scale of action. Almost always capable of some level of productive goodness.
Makara [Capricorn]
Leonardo da Vinci
Joanne Woodward
Uccha Kuja is a competitive winner. In any bhava, guarantees business success. Tightly planned & organized energy; controlled productive pace supports long-term achievement. Vitality & health drives the native to assert his power in large organizations. High goals & plenty of fuel to get there. Starts work early & stays late; learns from his mistakes; hunter's instinct for negotiating complex levels of prestige & caste. Physical energy flows enthusiastically through hierarchical, commercial channels in society.
Much depends on the condition of Shani. If Shani is well disposed and in a good relative angle to Kuja, the native climbs steadily toward executive positions in prestige social hierachies - preferably in competitive business. If Kuja's angle to Shani signals internal animosity - 2/12, 6/8 -- the path to success will be littered with obstacles, and work while productive is also exhausting. Of course if Kuja dosha is present, the person may be optimally successful in public life but will direct competitive aggression toward business partners & spouse.
One surprisingly good yoga is exalted Mangala with fallen Shani, where each aspects & improves the other.
For Mesha or Vrischika lagna, lagnesha Kuja makes the native a skilled & avid game hunter.
Kumbha [Aquarius]
U.S. Pres. Jimmy Carter
Eric Clapton
Unlike Kuja in Shani's other rashi Makara, Kuja in Kumbha gives difficult and often unfavorable results. David Frawley suggests that chakra rulership determines the dramatic variance between physically auspicious Kuja-Makara versus physically oppressive Kuja-Kumbha.
Muscular body movements much restricted & nervous system stressed. Much vital energy invested into conceptual, abstract, large-system thought e.g. networking & cosmology. Philosophically & theologically concerned with complex social mechanisms for enforcing social justice & moral law. Tends to burn out physically from the long-term effects of excessive disengagement from the animal body.
Wants to control & manipulate very large networks of customs & laws. Promotes egalitarian social policies, but needs special protection from the masses in order to do their work. Wants to hold top social policy positions & does good work at the top, but unlike their Kuja-Makara brethren, Kuja-Kumbha rarely has the strength or tenacity to move up through lower ranks in order to reach the executive top ranks. Depending on which house Kuja occupies, may find gainful employment with computer networks, in think-tank consulting, or in systems-level education.
The lifestyle lacks vitality. Typically, due to scattering of physical energy across the huge field of Kumbha's cosmic law, little is humanly accomplished. Socially odd, eccentric and withdrawn. However if Shukra or Budha are strong, this native's social networking skills can weave a very large web of like-minded persons which alleviates the extreme isolation of the abstract thinker. The native has energy for making connections of all types, from tinkertoys to intergalactic space missions. They can become socially influential from the center of their web. However unless there is some corrective such as parivartana yoga or Shani is exalted, this native can become exhausted by social interactions very quickly.
Physical body is awkward & ill-fitting. Native feels permanently out of sorts & oppressed. Contradiction & internal resistance as the conceptual mind tries to dominate the natural animal body, and fails. Nervous illnesses caused by over-thinking, excessive austerity, ignoring physical needs, & exhausting resistance to social conformity. Tendency toward damaged muscles, weak or damaged blood, & debilitating fevers.
Much depends on Shani. If Shani is well disposed & in a good relative angle to Kuja, there will be always too much discipline, restriction & even deprivation but some good fruits from development of abstract philosophical thinking & personal monk-like austerity may be expected.
If Kuja's occupies a 2/12 or 6/8 angle to Shani, expect marginalization & physical exhaustion often caused by severe underemployment. If Kuja dosha is present, frustrations will be directed toward the spouse.
The great amplifier as always is Rahu. If Rahu magnifies Mars in Kumbha, expect the abstract philosophical thinking and cosmic systems theorizing to reach compulsive levels - especially during periods of Rahu or Kuja. The physical body will be as stressed as possible by its obligation to serve as the vehicle for a
Finds work in scientific research (the weirder the better); organizational planning; giant networks; and marketplace communications.
Meena [Pisces]
Generally a lovely, soft placement but reduced physical vitality with a plump, sedentary tendency. Kuja in Meena gives more of a spiritual vitality, manifesting as enthusiasm for active compassion and working on charitable projects. Pleasant outcomes.
Finds works in areas related to children, spiritual culture, medical specialties of the feet, religious & educational development, all areas of the imagination. Great for psychological counseling, family law court, hands-on healing, diplomacy, priesthood. Humanistic, global scale of action. Depends on a strong Guru for success.
