Vimshottari Period Rulers

for Thula Lagna or Thula Chandra

see also: Vimshottari Dasha - Bad Angles" -- Vimshottari Dasha - Final Bhukti

Surya

L-11

Gains and Goals

Surya = the karaka for Divine Self, soul, pride, confidence, royal entitlements, and awareness of Truth.

When Thula = radix lagna+ L-11 Surya controls the networks of gainful association.

Unless Surya is damaged, Ravi period = confidently gainful and well connected through networks of friends.

However Surya is an enemy of lagnesha Shukra, and furthermore Surya is an enemy of the natural regulator of labha who is Shani.

Therefore Surya Mahadasha is problematic

  • for self-contentedness and self-validation(portfolio of the lagnesha)

Surya period is overall constrained

  • by a need to participate rather anonymously in plebian activities (Shani) such as community work

  • when the basic instinct of regal Surya is to be in the center of attention.

During Surya Mahadasha , the Thula native rarely receives the amount and quality of attention that Surya requires.

  • Invalidationor marginalization by large groups, "lowest common denominator" public standards occurs especially during the Surya-Shani period when the Thula native will be oppressed by rules meant to contain the masses.

  • Surya-Shukra period is often challenging due to Shukra's lordship of the lagna (validating) but also of randhra bhava (ego destructive).

  • Much depends of course upon the mutual angles of Shani, Shukra, and Surya; their mutual relationship to lagna and Chandra lagna; and the Nakshatra of Chandra. (If the lord of Chandra's Nakshatra is friendly toward Surya, results may be emotionally rather easier.)

All things considered, the period is likely to be materially and socially gainful but at the price of personal integrity. If Surya is well-placed, the Thula native may expect to achieve important life goals during these six years, and to be positioned during the mahadasha for superior future earnings.

Males

Surya periods for any lagna will attract strong-willed males; therefore it depends on the native 's capacity for handling male behavior and especially that male's need to be the center of attention whether the six year period is happy or not. Ironically when Surya is strong e.g. in kendra or in Simha or Mesha, for the Shukra-ruled native who prefers a balanced and harmonious relationship rather than courtly service to a petty king, the answer is often 'not'. It may be easier for the Shukra ruled nativity which features a relatively weak Surya which represents much less flamboyant demands from kingly males.


Losses

  • Lord of 12th-from-12th=loss of sanctuary, loss of privacy, loss of bed pleasures. Loss of reflective and imaginative practice. Loss of hospitalization, dissolution of imprisonment, loss of connection to distant lands, loss of clairsentience and dissolution of ability to communicate with spirit guides and ancestors. Dissolution of engagement with fantasies, vision quests, and prayer. Loss of sanctuary. Refugees may be called out of hiding. Artists and musicians lose studio time, perhaps the entire studio dissolves. A young child may lose their bed or bedroom. A nun may leave her convent to embark on missionary (11) work in the world. A yogi hermit may be called out of cave retreat.

Gains

  • Lord of 11th-from-1st = gain of vitality and engagement of the social personality. Return of faith in personal creativity and increase in the number of interlocked friendships. Expansion of the social network based on shared vision for the future.. Gains of income, achievement of goals, increased recognition and mobility in the marketplace. Embarking on a new (1) programme of goal-setting (11) and expansion of marketplace connections which facilitate earnings (11).


If Surya is well-disposed,much gain can materialize. Both abstract, conceptual goals and practical, material life goals may certainly be realized.

The most tangible and immediate form of gain manifests as financial income. Depending on the planetary relationships, gain may arrive in the form of

  • salary (most common)

  • inheritance (if Surya = associated with L-8 Shukra; e.g., during the major period of L-8 Shukra + minor lord Surya)

  • marriage or business alliance (if Surya = associated with Shukra karaka for partnership, or with L-7 Mangala = alliance)

  • additionally, look for graha associated with Ravi to provide other varieties of social and material gain.

    • Increase in vehicles, or in number or market value of properties or material enhancements to the residence = Ravi involved with L-4 Shani. Similarly, gains and goals achieved from L-4 = educational diploma, passing exam and receiving certifications.

    • Increase in number of children or in prosperity or connectedness of those children = Surya involved with (drishti, yuti, parivartamsha) the L-5 Shani or the L-9 Budha.

    • Ravi + Rahu or in association with Rahu = sudden and dramatic gains via culturally proscribed methods, often initiated in the Surya-Ravi period followed by a collapse or disconnection at the Surya-Ketu period. Benefits from an L-11 Ravi-Rahu sudden "great leap forward" gain will endure only if Rahu is also with a kendra lord.

the native is busy, socially recognized via community engagement and participation in social networks. One is honored for creativity and for providing a light of awareness. the native is typically an agent for some element of higher truth or brilliance, true faith or political vision, within the community of practice.

While engaged in large-group function, the native is busy promoting a future vision, creating opportunity for greater participation within large networks of shared belief. Whilst remaining egalitarianin style and attitude, the native becomes a principled and effective leader in the assembly.

If Surya is super-strong, e.g. in Simha or Mesha with no drishti of Shukra or Shani, the native withdraws into royal privilege, but one's instructions to the multitudes benefit from the clarity of distance, and results are extremely good.

If Surya is damaged,L-11 will nevertheless bear influence upon a large network of people. But results will be morally corrupt.

Compare:

Periods of Suryabring gains of income, expanded influence in the assembly, strength of ethical perspective and leadership through moral certainty. Community development, fundraising, business initiation, and large groups of associates gathered for mutual validation. Accomplishment of high goals and lifetime objectives.


  • Surya will also rule one houses vis-à-vis Chandra. Assess the angle to Surya's house, from Chandra lagna, for a fuller appreciation of the emotional impact of Surya periods.

  • The effect of Surya's periods will necessarily be influenced by the house-lordships of any graha sharing the bhava with Ravi.

  • Also, the angle between the current mahadasha pati and Surya will be determinative. Graha in 6th-from-Surya are least fortunate.

Chandra

L-10

Thula lagna is known as a "maker of leaders".

Along with Kanya lagna, Thula lagna sets the bhava progression so that the native is predisposed to achieve leadership recognition in public life.


L-10 provides leadership responsibility and grants a respectable social reputation.

The downside is work and lots of it. the native 's expertise is wanted socially and particularly if Chandra Mahadasha occurs in the more mature decades when the native has a bit of grey hair, the demand for one's governing and regulating abilities will be strong.

There is no lack of work during periods of the L-10 unless Chandra is damaged. Society (10) calls upon the native to producerecognizable step-wise methodsfor social attainment and lawful institutional governance.

One must (karmic 'must') ensure an orderly environment for those who reside below one in the hierarchy, who have lower rank or status. L-10 raises the social dignity but financially and philosophically L-10 gives fairly static results.

As lord of both 11th-from-12th and 12th-from-11th+ L-10 giveth and the L-10 taketh away.

Losses

  • Lord of 12th-from-11th=loss of earnings, loss of mobility within the marketplace network, loss of interest in pursuing additional goals and achievements. Leadership roles place the native in a bit of a lock. Attention to application of law and order (10) precludes free association (11) and focuses the native 's attention "up" rather than "out". Acquisition of respectable titles and responsibilities but no measurable increase in financial income. One's time is consumed with maintaining governance and enforcing regulations. Loss of relationship to elder sibling, mentors, community organizations, lateral or distributive social or conceptual networks.

Gains

  • Lord of 11th-from-12th = gain of earning power from research and reflective practice. Gains from the bridge between material and astral plane. Gains directed by spirit guides and ancestors. Increase in earnings from clairsentient perception, from clandestine or hidden sources of knowledge such as monasteries and sanctuaries. Gains from distant lands.


The highly fluctuating and impressionable Chandra provides direct, psycho- emotionally intuitive leadership instincts.

  • Much depends on Chandra's rashi lord (see examples below).

  • Chandra is very impressionable! Assessment of the Thula native's final career empowerment must consider His Nakshatra , His bhava, and incoming drishti to Soma.

  • Also the angle of YogakarakaL-4+L-5 Shani toward Chandra will significantly shape the leadership potential.

In general, the Thula native provides a parental style of leadership:patriotic, home-loving, and nurturing.

he professional career is directed to provide security for others; in this service, one's own security is also achieved. Strongest themes are the essentials of Chandra's natural bhava-4: education, physical and economic security, and the perpetuation of cultural roots.

  • The effect of Chandra's periods will necessarily be influenced by the house-lordships of Any graha sharing Soma's bhava.

  • Also, the angle between the current mahadasha pati and Chandra will be determinative. Graha in 12th-from-Chandraare least fortunate.


Examples:

Surya-ruled Moon:

  • UK-PM Margaret Thatcher = L-10 Magha Chandra in bhava-11 Simha. Although leading with a message of economic security and defense of the territory (even if the territory is in Argentine waters), Thatcher had a more masculine ethical "right" authority style (Magha). Administration driven by politics (Simha) but she provided a powerful matriarchal figure to the citizenry. Sources of leadership strength: first and foremost the economy (11).

Moon-ruled Moon

  • Tom Cruise, film actor. = L-10 Pushya Chandra in bhava-10 Karkata. Chandra + Rahu + Shukra Although not an elected leader, Mr. Cruise is a world famous icon of masculine personality and athletic strength.

    • His leadership style is characterized by visually attractive appearance (Shukra) and risk-taking behaviors (Rahu). His message (if any) involves his own religious righteousness (Pushya = piety) and the signal to "admire my image". His public persona as a parent is well-developed. Chandra in His own house is self-reflexive. His Chandra Mahadasha occurs his age 60-70.

  • Mahatma Gandhi = L-10 Azlesa Chandra in bhava-10 Karkata. His Chandra Mahadasha 1904-1914, his age 34-44. Similar to Tom Cruise above, minus the luxurious Shukra! Gandhi's charismatic leadership message with super-strong L-10 swakshetra Chandra in karma bhava + Rahu="be like me, feel my feelings".

    • Azlesa embroils and entwines a person with endless manipulation and intrigue, and so was Gandhi's career. The period 1904-1914 was Gandhi's famous leadership period struggling for the right of Exotics (Rahu) in South Africa, where his Satyagraha platform was established.

Kuja-ruled Moon

  • Jerry Falwell = L-10 Bharani Chandra in bhava-7 Mesha.

    • Mahadasha of Chandra =1961-1971, his age 28-38. American 'televangelist' conservative-reactionary Christian preacher. Falwell captured the attention of millions of TV viewers during his conservative, pro-conformist, anti-minorities, "Religious Right" TV talk shows in the 1960's.Impetus for leadership based in his personal relationshipsand public conversationswith other politico-religious anti-progressive activists.

  • Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis = L-10 Azvini Chandra + Rahu, in bhava-7 Mesha.

    • Chandra Mahadasha = 1961-1971, her age 31-41. Extraordinary public exposure and social leadership through her marriage relationships. JFK was assassinated in 1963 = Chandra/Rahuperiod. Married Aristole Onassis (at that time) the richest man in the world 1968 = Chandra/Ketuperiod. After age 42, largely off the public radar.

    Budha-ruled Moon

    Chandra Mahadasha would be her age 79-89. Franklin had a tremendous influence on several generations of American citizenry. She expressed in song what perhaps could never be expressed in law or policy - a basic human entitlement to freedom, justice, and love. Her leadership style was directed by her religious values and culture (Chandra in bhava-9) and characterized by the mother-gardener passion for life of Punarvasu Nakshatra . Shani and Shukra aspect bhava-10, keeping her message directed to women and honoring the working class.

    Guru-ruled Moon

    Sources of leadership impetusinclude his writings (Mein Kampf) (3) and his detachment (Ketu) from his own crimes(L-6 Guru). Hitler had the "Great Communicator" leadership style (Chandra + L-3 Guru), invoking passionate love and defense for the Fatherland, and utilizing on a vocabulary of Security through Purification(Chandra + Ketu).

    Hitler's leadership focused on economic security, protection of customary values, defense of the homeland, and re-building a great (Guru) ethnic Nation (4). Positioned himself in a morally authoritative parentalrole. L-6 Guru + Ketu = dehumanizationwhich cancels compassion. Results = pure evil.

    Shukra-ruled Moon

    • Guru Ammachi = L-10 uchcha Krittika Chandra in bhava-8, Vrishabha.

      • Chandra Mahadasha = 1955-1965, her age 1-11.The maternal leadership styleis extremely strong. Chandra in super-gainful 11th-from-10th, sources of leadership strength include secret practices and hidden information. Famous for leadership initiativesto provide shelter and secure livelihoods to the poorest citizens, who she sees as her children.

    • Pope John-Paul II= L-10 uchcha Krittika Chandra in bhava-8, Vrishabha. Similar leadership to Guru Ammachi.

    • Vladmir Putin = L-10 uchcha Krittika Chandra in bhava-8, Vrishabha.

      • Similar to Guru Ammachi and Pope JPII -- EXCEPT -- that Ketuin bhava-10 mayprovide dehumanization which annihilates compassion in leadership. (See A. Hitler Ketu + L-10 Chandra below). A dangerous exception.

  • Jimmy Carter = L-10 Vishaka Chandra in bhava-1, Thula.

    • Chandra Mahadasha = 2008-2018, his age 83-93.

    • Main source of leadership strength is his social personality + core values from uchcha YogakarakaShani, also in lagna with Chandra.

    • Career began in military (defense of homeland), then elected office (governor, president), then his strongest expression: providing homes (Habitat for Humanity) to the working poor, then patriotic (homeland values) support of democratic elections worldwide, in the belief that democratic governments are the most stable and secure.

    • An iconic, parental figure.Interestingly, not so successful as a president. Carter's presidential judgment was perceived as weak and too empathetic; criticized as 'controlled by his mother'.

    Shani-ruled Moon

    • Charles Manson, murder-cult leader = L-10 Shravana Chandra in Maraka bhava-10 + exact yuti Rahu.

    • As with Vladmir Putin above, extraordinary publiccharisma due to L-10 Chandra + Rahu. See also Tom Cruise L-10 Chandra + Rahu. YET severely evil results, due to Ketu in bhava-10, giving dehumanizationwhich destroys compassion. Manson preached a message of total physical, economic and emotional security for those who would follow him absolutely. Promoted himself as infallible parent.

According to Das,

If " The lord of the 10 is in 6 or the lord of the 10 is in 12, your spiritual path suffers somewhat in the periods of the 10th lord."

Kuja

L-2+ L-7

Vital and competitive Kuja influences both the first (7) and second marriages (2), as well as much activity in the worlds of stored food, collected wealth, banked values and new (Kuja) business contracts.

If bhava-2 is favorable, periods of Kuja may unlock much wealth not only money but also a great legacy of languages and ancient knowledge. Periods of Kuja may initiate contracts.


  • Mangala will also rule two houses vis-à-vis Chandra. Assess the two houses, from Chandra lagna, for a fuller appreciation of the emotional impact of periods of Angarika.

  • The effect of periods of Mangala will necessarily be influenced by the house-lordships of any graha sharing the bhava with Mangala.

  • Also, the angle between the current mahadasha pati and Mangala will be determinative. Graha in 12th-from-Mangalaare least fortunate.


  • Losses

    • Lord of 12th-from-3rd=loss of commercial acumen, losses caused by writing.

    • Lord of 12th-from-8th=loss of shared monies, loss of spousal wealth, dissolution of hidden treasuries

    Gains

    • Lord of 11th-from-4th = gain of diploma, pass examination, gains based on schooling and property ownership. Gains of vehicles, income from working at home. Gain of security via deep roots in a fixed place. Gain from association with the mother.

    • Lord of 11th-from-9th = income from universities, temples, reading of sacred scripture, philosophical discussion, performance of religious rituals, from knowledge of orthodox wisdom teachings. Gain from association with priests and from relationship to the father.


Natural and temporal Maraka Mangala is an empoweredkiller for Thula lagna.

  • Via Mesha-7, Kuja will kill via metal implements and engines; in battle and in pursuit of a prize or prey; via weapons of every type; due to fire outside and fever inside; liver disease and infections of the blood.

  • Via Vrischika-2, hidden and mysterious causes Of death; undiagnosed conditions; fatal systemic sepsis; diseases of the uterus and anus.


Education-Property

  • Vrischika = 11th-from-4th + 5th-from-9th. Gain of fruitsfrom the basic formal cultural indoctrination (4) and from ownership of vehicles and properties. Good luck and intelligence in the more advanced philosophical education (9).

  • Mesha = 4th-from-4th + 11th-from-9th. Contracts and agreements energized, advising and consulting relationships aregroundedin shared cultural values but also competitive according to the nature of Mangala. Increased vigor for sexual activity and property ownership in marriage. Gain of fruitsfrom the more advanced philosophical education (9) main fruits are new relationships and agreements.

Marriage-Alliances

  • Vrischika = 8th-from-7th. Sudden and forced changes in the marriage contract creates a time of vigorous transformation in marriage and business partnerships.Mangala is lord of both 7th and 8th-from-7th for Thula lagna. Often one significant relationship will end and another one will suddenly emergefrom the karmic script.

    • Check for the character of Kuja's agency vis-à-vis Chandra. If Mangala is a dusthamsha lord from the Chandra lagna, a sudden upheaval in established agreementsmay be a difficult experience for the native . Mangala implies warrior-like action and a need to win the battle. If Mangala is an auspicious lord from Chandra lagna, the native benefits from a vigorous challenge which results in a change of alliance.

  • Mesha = 7th. Contracts and agreements energized, advising and consulting relationships aregroundedin shared cultural values but competitive in nature. Competitive and dynamic negotiations establish mutual interests and result in new contractual agreements. It is quite likely to meet and form a relationship with a vigorous, vital, competitive, active person who is "new" to one's cast of dramatis personae. (Not really "new" of course but emerging from the subconscious script.)

  • Note: should Rahuoccupy Vrischika or Mesha rashi, or should Rahu join Mangala in a shared bhava, the above results for Thula lagna assigned to Mangala, may be duplicated and indeed much amplified during Rahu periods also.

Career-Leadership

  • Vrischika = 5th-from-10th. Good luck and intelligence in career matters; institutional promotion; raise in prestige and entitlements through creative or speculative means.

  • Mesha = 10th-from-10th. Yuvati bhava is a very important career house. bhava-7 signifies the underlying one-to-one relationships that create the structure of an institutional career. Contracts and agreements are energized, advising and consulting relationships aremade more respectable(presuming that Mangala is reasonably dignified) and new (Kuja the innovator)partnersenter the scene.

Mars will also rule two houses measured from Chandra lagna. Assess the role of the two houses from Chandra.

Budha

L-9+ L-12

Conversational and sexual Budha is generally beneficial, although the native is really too busy mentally to get very deep into spiritual practice. One may talk constantly of religion (9) without quite practicing it. Many interesting travels in foreign lands (12). Usually the travel occurs with a commercial or administrative agenda.

Losses

  • Lord of 12th-from-10th=loss of regulatory, order-imposing leadership roles. Strong focus upon philosophical and religious discourse calls the native 's energy away from high-visibility public roles in government and industry, toward the teaching and preaching roles of temple and university culture,

  • Lord of 12th-from-lagna =loss of physical body vitality and body-based personality identity. Typically the loss of identity is a consequence of the loss of local social meanings associated with physical attributes. For example one may leave a land in which the shape or color of one's facial features is very significant, and travel to a land which does not recognize the importance of those features. with long-distance travelling or sojourns in foreign lands. The external losses have a positive effect of calling back the native 's intention toward meditation and reflective practice.

Gains

  • Lord of 11th-from- 2nd = gain of knowledge,from research, from long-term travel or from meditation retreat.

  • Lord of 11th-from-11th = gain of goals and achievements. Dharma bhava is the ultimate achievement house. One may realize the highest goals of wisdom-acquisition and transmission empowerments. There may be an inflow of tremendous wealth if Budha is well disposed, but as always with the Dharmastana, this wealth is not intended for individual hoarding. The wealth will manifest for missionary purposes (11th) in order to bring "good news" to those who need to hear it. Money comes available for building of universities and temples.


  • Budha will also rule two houses vis-à-vis Chandra. Assess the two houses from Chandra lagna for a fuller appreciation of the emotional impact of Budha periods.

  • The effect of Budha's periods will necessarily be influenced by the house-lordships of any graha sharing the bhava with Budha.

  • Also, the angle between the current mahadasha pati and Budha will be determinative. Graha in 3rd-from-Budhaare least fortunate.


    As lord of 12th-from-1st, Budha drains away the physical identity, muscular power, and social validationof the fleshly appearance. Budha periods may indicate withdrawal from public life, physical awkwardness, and a deep interiority leading to articulation of meditative or fantasy insights. The collective unconscious seems uninterested in utilizing the native as a symbol and the native fades from public view.

    • Incumbent USA president 39 Jimmy Carter lost his 1980 bid for re-election to the presidency - normally a fairly easy election for a sitting president to win - during Ketu/Budha period. Carter's Budha is exceptionally strong because Budha achieves uchcha L-12 status through a parivartamsha with Surya the temporal L-12.

    • In Mar-April 1930, Mohandas Gandhi undertook the Salt March. Shri Gandhi's visage did become legendary amongst the masses, but the Salt March (L-12, pilgrimage) also destroyed any chance Gandhi may have had (at the time) to gain validated leadership under the auspices of the British Raj.

      • Gandhi's Budha is powerfully positioned in Thula lagna yuti lagnesha Shukra and yuti L-2 Mangala (speech), therefore Gandhi's Budha periods did not damage his public visibility. Yet his actions during Budha periods rather specifically damaged his access to conservative, customary, approved-hierarchy leadership roles of the day.

Guru

L-3+ L-6

Overexpansion of Budha's natural behaviors:

  • inflated suspicions, accusations, conflicts and arguments (6)

  • illnesses of pregnancy; increased bloating, swelling, and digestive imbalance (6)

  • too much talking and excessive administration (3);

  • over-communicative mentality and over-busy daily habits (3);

  • too frequent short-term travel, too many meetings (including siblings, neighbors, non-work) (3)

  • increased daily transportation, more diverse work-commutes (including international junkets = Guru) (3)


Often a comically ridiculous yet frustrating period = one administrative SNAFU after the next, due to L-3 = L-6.

Every kind of mental-physical crankiness may arise.

Significant interpersonal conflict despite overall generosity in the environment. Everyone apparently has good intentions; yet, agreements alliances and contracts break down ( L-12th from 7). Marriage is delayed. Home-culture, vehicles, and shelter-space becomes unstable (L-12th from 4). Diploma from schooling is delayed.

Exception:

  • IF -- Guru the notorious L-3 + L-6 should occupy bhava-8 or bhava-12, prediction = easier circumstances.

  • If the lord of the mahadushthamsha is born into 8 or 12 then a corrective Viparita Yoga Harsha Yoga will apply and most of the inconveniences will disappear. L-6 in 12 =dissolution of the conflicts into the realm of the imagination (12)

  • L-6 in 8 = conflicts processed very quickly (albeit somewhat abruptly) via sudden upheavals which eliminate the circumstances of animosity, conflict, or disease (L-6 in 8).

L-6 Guru = not in 6 or 8 = the whole bhukti = a big pain and the swabhukti is nearly insufferable.

However Guru will *eventually* produce some form of growth, expansion, increase, and wisdom-gain although He might require the length of the entire bhukti to produce this welcome result.

Career:

  • L-6 = 9th-from-10th yet L-3 = 6th-from-10th. In general, one has access to wisdom in the task of regulating, governing, officiating yet the administrative duties can multiply (Guru) to the point where the higher career functions are decimated.

  • Best advice for an adult worker during this period is to accept that numerous employee-servant issues as well as a wide range of administrative-communicative-messaging tasks are likely to consume the professional calendar. Support for professional advancement may be seen in favorable placement of L-10th navamsha and over age 50 the role of the lord of the 10th from Chandra becomes weightier. Check these items before issuing any career forecast.

Predictive note:

Outcome of any Guru bhukti depends very significantly upon the relative positions of the Mahadasha Pati and the Bhukti-pati. For example, L-6 Guru for the Thula lagna or for the Karkata lagna = always prone to blaming and lawsuits, but Guru is generally so philosophical and generous that inflated accusations and unfair legal settlements (12th from 7th) would rarely lead to imprisonment. However, should Guru be located in 12th (prison) from the mahadasha pati is it not impossible for a short imprisonment resulting from false charges (6) to develop.


Shani = a disciplined, practical, conservative, career-building asset to the nativity.

Yet the ever-wise and expansive Guru = a big troublemakerfor Thula lagna.

The normally auspicious Brihaspati unfortunately over-expands Budha's natural territory of business meetings, short travel,and conversational narrative (3). The agents of Brihaspati as L-3 (for Thula lagna and Makara lagna) tend to "make mountains out of molehills" as they exaggerate the importance of the daily mundane and confuse the petty world of business with the greater pursuit of philosophical truth.

Further, during His Vimshottari periods, L-6 Guru inflates the scope of accusation, litigation, distrust, exploitation, and exacerbates the natural tendency to developillness/conflicts (6). Guru tends to bring on the diseases of His rashi, as well as the diseases associated with reproduction and dietary patterns of eating to suppress conflict (anger absorption into body fat.)

for Thula lagna, regardless of the bhava of His residence, Brihaspati = an inherently adversarial agent who damages both physical health and mental health.

However, periods of Guru ALWAYS have an upside even in the worst cases. Brihaspati will expand the material karaka outcome of His bhava of residence; and He will also provide a continuous attitude of optimistic faith in the goodness of all Being, no matter the temporary manifestation of events.


Children (Guru)

Last but not least, Guru periods can produce children under nearly any material or mental circumstances. Whether the children are wanted just then is a secondary issue; whether the route is bio-child or grand-child or adoptee is also not Guru's concern; and whether Guru's optimistic faith can also put food on the table and a roof over one's head is also a tangential question.

For women, health problems during pregnancy, including complications due to weight gain (Guru) and conflicting medical (6) opinions or treatments, may be part of the picture. The primary blessing of Lord Guru is indeed children for a parent and students for a teacher.


Medicine and health (satkona)

Normally, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Yet, during periods of L-6 Guru, the digestion may not tolerate fruit (Guru dislikes Shukra-sweet fruit). Guru brings multiples and often the Guru-period scene produces many doctors, with conflicting medicines and philosophies (Guru) who seem to distrust (6) each other.


Destabilization of Two Kendra

For Thula lagna, Guru siphons the resources of kendra-pillars = Home Habits (4) and Peer Agreements (7)

  • Dhanushya-3 = 12th from Makara-4

  • Meena-6 = 12th from Mesha-7

For all Chara rashi (cardinal signs) Guru rules the Apoklima bhava. Thus during Guru periods, the Chara lagna will suffer certain dissolving effects = Guru-driven destabilization.

  1. Mesha lagna (including Mesha-Chandra) = Guru drains 1 and 10 (pulling energy from the public validation)

  2. Karkata lagna (including Karkata-Chandra) = Guru drains 7 and 10 (pulling energy from the professional peerage)

  3. Thula lagna (including Thula-Chandra) = Guru drains 4 and 7 (pulling energy from alliance and spouse's career)

  4. Makara lagna (including Makara-Chandra) = Guru drains 1 and 4 (pulling energy from body and parents)


Lord of 12th-from-4th = Guru can dissolve the Old Ways and Roots.

  • Expansion of busy, short-term traveling (3) suggests temporary loss of home-habits, school-study, license-diploma, vehicle, owned property,

    • temporary loss of citizenship or passport

  • for Thula lagna or Makara lagna, periods of L-3 Guru = timing agent for loss of grounding roots and shelter

    • If Guru is well located the family house can be lost via profitable sale (Guru in a money house = 2, 5, 9 or 11).

    • If Guru is not well located then loss of domicile may occur under less fortunate circumstances.

  • Losses may be desirable e.g. one may wish for a temporary loss of house + loss of roots in order to enjoy an international holiday vacation (3)

  • Losses may be undesirable if they are forced

Because L-4 Shani periods always follow L-3 Guru periods, the Thula native who loses roots during periods of L-3 will quickly regain stability of schooling, ownership, and other protections during the subsequent period of L-4 Shani.

Unless L-4 is damaged, Thula is never rootless for long.


Periods of Guru= disagreement, broken promises (6), exploitation, illness and debt. Guru L-6 bhukti signals the breakdown of contractual agreements, lawsuits, jail time, poverty, alienation, and medical troubles due to imbalance in internal body systems.

Agent of the distress

  • = father, grandfather, professor, guru, priest, religious authority, patronizing know-it-all personality (male).

  • Also generally trouble from "religious" physicians and overly optimistic medical treatments, stemming from good-willed confusion of the physical vs the philosophical.

  • The dysfunctional L-3/L-6 agency of Brihaspati invests far too much importance into repetitive, short-term thinking. Performance of religious ritual (Guru) may degenerate into the most superficial and socially scripted behavior (3). Knowledge becomes information; scriptural study deteriorates into sloganism.

  • The Guru-agent(s) may suffer from a constitutional confusion regarding Budha-temporary commercial mentality vs. Guru-eternal wisdom and higher truth.

For both men and women, reproductive organs(Guru) in particular may get out of balance, affecting the entire body's wellness.

Guru periods require close mental attention to the conditions of medical and social health.

If expectations are not inflated and the native is able to utilize religious teachings (Guru) for guidance (without becoming disillusioned or distracted by the false philosophers) then the difficulties will pass without trauma.

As L-3 Guru can bring temporary loss of licenses and diploma, but also good communication abilities and a special intelligence for language. the native may have more intensive encounters with language (Guru) during Guru periods due partly to increased frequency of travel to diverse places.


Shani to the Rescue

Luckily for Thula lagna natives, a Vimshottari bhukti of soberly intelligent Yogakaraka L-4+L-5 Shani always follows Guru bhukti. After an exhausting Guru Mahadasha, a reconstructive Shani Mahadasha will begin.

Therefore most of Guru's mischief can be expected to become corrected during the subsequent Shani period.

  • after an interruption of education during L-3 Guru period, one may easily return to school during L-4 Shani period.

  • after dietary excesses of L-6 Guru, one may easily recover a more balanced health through Shani's austerity and personal discipline.

  • After the over-confident, inflated-accusation break-ups of L-6 Guru, one may easily re-establish more gainful, pragmatic and respectable relationships during periods of L-4 + L-5 Shani 10th-from-7th and 11th-from-7th.


Read spiritual and emotional environment from Chandra lagna

  • Guru will also rule two houses vis-à-vis Chandra. Assess the two houses from Chandra lagna for a fuller appreciation of the emotional impact of periods of Brihaspati.

  • The effect of Guru's periods will necessarily be influenced by the house-lordships of any graha sharing the bhava with Brihaspati.

  • Also, the angle between the current mahadasha pati and Guru will be determinative. Graha in 6th-from-Guruare least fortunate.


Education-Property
  • for Thula lagna, Dhanusha = 12th-from-4th +7th-from-9th. Dissolution of the basic formal cultural indoctrination and attachment to roots (4) due to Dhanusha's humanistic expansion - it is impossible to maintain Makara's parochialism during periods of traveling (L-3) wisdom-teacher Guru.

  • On the more difficult side, Guru periods also bring loss of grounding to personal vehicles and properties.

  • Guru forms peer relationships (7) with those who enjoy the more advanced philosophical education (9).Periods of Brihaspati eschew the locally educated, and welcome the globally educated. If Guru is strong the native may become a global educator (but the native would not be accepted as a local educator).

  • for Thula lagna, Meena = 3rd-from-4th+ 10th-from-9th. Guru supports educational publications and the commercial sale of properties and vehicles. Under Guru's auspice, dignified public positionswill accrue to the native based on one's more advanced philosophical education (9) .

Marriage-Alliances

  • Dhanusha = 9th-from-7th. Periods of Guru may bring a burst of wisdom, good will, and possibly procreativity based in the marriage contract resulting in the birth of a child Or other act of great good fortune

  • Meena = 12th-from-7th. Contracts and agreements between partners are dissolved. Guru dissipated the alliance-balance energy; illness and ill-will arise in social relationships. If a child is born, there may be significant disagreement regarding the child, how to rear the infant, etc.

  • Note: should Rahuoccupy Dhanusha or Meena rashi, or should Rahu join Guru in a shared bhava, the above results for Thula lagna assigned to Brihaspati, may be duplicated and indeed much amplified during Rahu periods also.

Career-Leadership

  • Dhanusha = 6th-from-10th. As lord of Sahaja bhava = corporate department, the work-team, and commercial communications, Guru periods bring animosity and conflict in career matters; workplace gossip leading to resistance to institutional promotion; failure to receive raise in prestige and entitlements due tojealousy or disagreement.

  • Meena = 9th-from-10th. Ripu bhava is a good house for career matters: it represents the workplace conditions, the employees, and the customers' problems (which one is paid to handle). bhava-6 signifies the underlying tension in unbalanced human relationships due to exploitation and victim-mind. Guru brings sage wisdom about matters of the human condition and a wise withdrawal from the making of new contracts and agreements.

While there is no direct career progress during Guru periods there is a savvy awareness that some people like to solve problems and move forward, while other people are quite ego-attached to their problems and try as one might, it will not be possible to pry away their attachment to their suffering! As Guru period ends and Shani begins, the chronic problems pass away, and career ascent resumes.

Shukra

L-L-1+ L-8

Swabhukti of the lagnesha Shukra can be an extremely influential and significant period of the lifetime. For the thula nativity, If possible a Jyotisha remedial Diamond should be worn during Shukra mahadasha.

Alternatively, the even more powerful offering of Seva will be highly effective. For the entire twenty years of the Shukra Mahadasha, Seva should be offered on behalf of those who need help with contracts, agreements, alliances, diplomacy, embassies and marriage-matching, bargaining, as well as architectural decoration and design.

Seva for Shukra includes assistance in pair-making, equity-yoking, balancing of all types, including the medical and emotional balancing of of two-part fleshly organs such as eyes, ears, lungs, kidneys; and paired limbs such as hands-feet-arms-legs.


Sweet and sensual Shukra = a mixed blessing, very similar to the role of Kuja for Mesha lagna.

Periods of Shukra for the Thula lagna:

Losses

  • Lord of 12th-from-2nd=loss of hoarded wealth; loss of language; loss of knowledge; loss of face, teeth, voice, hair. Loss of family identity and history.

No savings or storage of valuable items during this period. Even electronically recorded images and texts may dissolve during this period of the loss of recorded knowledge.

  • Lord of 12th-from-9th =loss of religious orthodoxy and emphasis on secret or esoteric traditions (8).

As lord of bhava-1, Shukra validates the physical body and social personality. the native is praised for attractiveness, balance, and pleasing character. Social relationships are easier to start and sustain. Interactions with women, both personal and professional, tend to be mutually validating on the basis of shared beauty and grace.

As lord of bhava-8, Shukra reveals hidden knowledge, suddenly brought to light. Good results from therapies or surgeries intended to beautify and improve love relationships, and partnership balance in general. Good results from acquisition of privileged information about the psychology of human relationships. However+ L-8 = 2nd-from-7th lord, and typically Shukra may bring a sudden end to marriage or the

Periods of Shukramay bring the death of the first spouse. More likely, periods of Shukra bring the native into direct contact with the circumstances of death - without however causing death itself. Hidden information, especially regarding personal identity and the primary partner, comes into the field of awareness. Sometimes the hidden intentions, once revealed, necessitate the end of the partnership. the native 's charismatic attractiveness increases; one receives validationfor the appearance its life-force.


  • Shukra will also rule two houses vis-à-vis Chandra. Assess the two houses from Chandra lagna for a fuller appreciation of the emotional impact of Shukra periods.

  • he effect of Shukra's periods will necessarily be influenced by the house-lordships of any graha sharing the bhava with Shukra.

  • Also, the angle between the current mahadasha pati and Shukra will be determinative. Graha in 4th-from-Shukraare least fortunate.

Shani

L-9+ L-10

Pragmatic and conventional Shani becomes a major Yogakaraka in two auspicious houses, governing education and intelligence.

Confers prestige through conventional ascent of a hierarchy. Native prospers in priesthood/professorship and conventional group leadership. Success in government, commerce, military, and education. Excellent sense of balance and restraint; cultivates relationships steadily.

Periods of Shaniwill bring additional skill-based education regardless of the native 's age (education is usually formalized but may be apprenticeship). Also Shani brings children for Thula lagna, formalization and structured development of the creative intelligence, publications, cultural recognition of personal genius, and possible purchase of land or vehicle.


Shani fixes problems caused by Guru:

  • If L-3 Shani dissolves the Roots+ L-4 Shani comes next and reestablishes any lost grounding.

  • Thula native may have to abandon studies during periods of L-3 but can resume them quickly during L-3.

  • Should the L-6 Guru cause a vehicular accident causing loss of vehicle+ L-4+L-5 Shani comes next to restore the vehicle because Shani L-4 brings seats (foundations) including moving seats e.g. vehicle and as L-5 Shani = 12th-from-6 = dissolution of the poverty or injury caused by the L-6.

  • In general whatever problems L-3+L-6 Guru will cause (and there are many) the L-4+L-5 Shani will promptly repair


  • Shani will also rule two houses vis-à-vis Chandra. Assess the two houses from Chandra lagna for a fuller appreciation of the psycho-emotional impact of Shani periods.

  • The effect of Shani's periods will necessarily be influenced by the house-lordships of any graha sharing the bhava with Shanaicarya.

  • Also, the angle between the current mahadasha pati and Shani will be determinative. Graha in 6th-from-Shani Are least fortunate.

Rahu

Amplifies and magnifies the house-rulership effects of Rahu's lord

  • Also, the angle between the current mahadasha pati and Rahu will be determinative. Graha in 6th-from-Rahu Are least fortunate.

Ketu

internalizes and reflects the house-rulership effects of Ketu's lord

  • Also, the angle between the current mahadasha pati and Ketu will be determinative. Graha in 12th-from- Ketu re least fortunate.
