QUOTATION from Crazy Wisdom , p. 114-115 by Shambala 1939-1987 Tulku Chogyam Trungpa "Natural inquisitiveness is being eager to learn and eager to explore. It is not learning in the sense of collecting information; rather, it is absorbing what is happening around us, constantly relating to it. In this kind of learning, we do not at all learn things so that we can use them at some point to defend ourselves. In this case, we learn things because they are pleasurable to learn, fantastic to learn." |

Budha accepting drishti of Shani gives a ponderous, belabored way of speaking that is often overly formalized.

Narrow-minded restrictively conventionalized thinking
Budha overly conditioned by Shani tends to express the letter of the law . The spirit of the law may be less relevant to this codified thinkerr. Budha residing in a rashi of Shani * Budha-Makara-Draco - Budha-Kumbha * may display the attribute of narrow-mindedness which expresses as restrictively conventionalized, lawful, rigidly systematic thinking marked by intolerance for alternative interpretations. One may be able to accept only one approved procedure, method, or result while indeed many viable options exist. The restrictive mentality is further tightened if Budha receives drishti of Shani. If Professor Budha also receives drishti from Shani-Vṛścika, shani-Karkata, or Shani Mesha, Budha-Makara-Draco can express only a limited range of observations, instructions, explanations etc. Spoken expression may favor platitudes, social niceties, and other non-confrontational rank maintenance statements. The nativity is often well-suited to hierarchical and bureaucratic functions, law-enforcement, or employment with government agencies in areas such as public education, military, or health care. The native is generally not an innovator. If the native is appreciated as an"applied" thinker for whom work tasks should repetitively provide an application of known rules, one may enjoy full success. If Professor bantering Budha also receives drishti from Shani-Dhanus, shani-Simha, or Shani Vrishabha, Budha-Kumbha can express only a limited range of observations, instructions, explanations etc. The nativity is often well-suited to technological functions, bench science, computer systems maintenance or employment with government agencies in areas such as pre-university science education, technological training, military systems, or large-scale health systems work. Despite often working in scientific environments, the native is not an innovator. If the native is appreciated as a technician maintaining existing systems - and not expected to perform as a true scientist seeking new knowledge, then one may enjoy full success. Budha-Kumbha receiving the mentally restrictive or depressing drishti of Shani

How the Thoughts Got There The Secret Life of Thoughts QUOTATION from Generous Wisdom : Commentaries by His Holiness the Dalai Lama XIV on the Jatakamala Garland of Birth Stories. (1992). Tenzin Dorjee (Trans.) Dudjom Rinpoche (Ed.). Q: Many Buddhist and non-Buddhist teachers have taught us in their traditions not to do negative actions but to do positive actions, and that doing one or the other is the consequence of our thinking. How does Buddha's teaching distinguish itself from the teaching of others? Buddha's teaching lays emphasis upon doing positive rather than negative actions through subduing one's mind completely. A: To be able to understand what mind is and how our environment and its inhabitants, as well as the pleasurable and painful feelings of these sentient beings, relate to our mind, we have to think vigorously about this. Dependent arising is the Buddhist view, that all phenomena which are beneficial or harmful to us, including pleasurable or painful feelings, Arise merely depending upon their respective causes and conditions. To explain this further: it is said that all phenomena in cyclic existence which cause pleasure or pain are not the premeditated creations of a God they are the creations of Their own mere causes and conditions. In the Sutra of Dependent Arising, buddha said
For instance, karmic action is produced by ignorance as its condition. According to dependent arising, buddhism tells us, things have not been produced by an external agent such as a creator God rather, happiness or suffering arise from whether or not our mind has been subdued.
Putting aside consideration of future rebirth, which may be far off, people who have subdued their minds and are calm are happier than others in this life. Such people can taste food better, sleep better and have more friends , or at least find people less disturbing to them." |

Budha and Cultural Pluralism Some commentators opine that the USA is a premier land of Mithuna , because every citizen has a split identity : inside the USA, one can never be simply what the outside world considers as 'American'. Rather, patriotic self-definition in the USA has, since 1776, required a split self. One must acknowledge one's still-valid past identity even as one confirms a full embrace of the new: thus, irish-American, polish-American, african-American, naative American, etc. Many attempts to eradicate this "two-ness " in USA society have failed. For example,
It turns out that FDR and Silent Cal had relatively little to be worried about. Budha's split-mindedness encourages His karaka activities of commerce, administration, siblings-teamwork, manual skills, publications and media production.
Conversely, the more rigid the limitations [Shani] on which characteristics can be coupled [Budha] in the national and personal identity (such as in theocratic or mono-ethnic states, where only one ideology, class, or religion is allowed), the faster the economy dies. |

Budha controls that great port, the mind's freight-container thought-switching-yard, which is the active repository of all the accumulated conversations of this and previous lives Human "mind" in Jyotishavidya encompasses a vast realm, consisting of Chandra's huge ocean of astral emotion that surrounds the relatively small island of Budha's explicitly verbalized thought. In Budha's small but hyperactive terrain,"minding"as a performative verb gives a function of"A budh" or"attending to" . Chandra = the greater"mind" whereas Budha, saumya son of Soma, is a subset of mind that is defined by the mirroring function of"remind" Budha = the mentalized repetition of apprehended experience = the specialized naming, articulating, explaining and organizing functions of"mind" . Budha's bhava-3 is Typically, abusy, chatty, administrating, interactive domain concerned with this repetitive, rationalizing subset mental process. Soma and Budha = Father and Son In Jyotisha lore, Budha is the son of Soma called Soumyasa .

Budha = Friendly with Surya and Shukra Since neither Shukra nor Budha can occupy more than one rashi distant from Surya, certain potential parivartamsha yoga cannot occur Not possible
Possible
Budha always apprehends as friends, both the King [Surya] and the Minister of Sense Pleasure [Shukra]. Surya is neutral toward Budha, while Shukra accepts Budha as a friend. Thus Budha the Communicator feels welcomed in Shukra-ruled rashi of Vrishabha and Tula, wherein Budha offers the conversational skills to facilitate balanced agreements. Budha experiences a somewhat mechanical, naeutral role in Surya-ruled rashi of Simha, wherein Professor Budha serves as an expressive mouthpiece or mimic for Surya's brilliant ideas. Parivartamsha yoga between Surya-Kanya and Budha-Simha gives a highly confident, elitist, but ethical communication style. The native is a fact-based decision-maker.
Parivartamsha yoga between Shukra-Mithunaand Budha-Urisha produces a mentalized sensualist with a pleasant communication style. This beneficial exchange flourishes in those businesses which are highly civilized and populated by women. The native 's thinking is oriented toward facilitating the pleasures of self and others . Gracious entertaining and all of the narrative arts are enhanced. One may happily enjoy literature and literary publishing, physical and dramatic arts, delicious oils and wines fashion, jewelry and textiles, diplomacy and human relationships and acquisition of valuable knowledge . Budha-Urisha parivartamsha Shukra Mithuna
Parivartamsha yoga between Shukra-Kanya and Budha-Tula A much more problematic arrangement of mutual-exchange * parivartamsha occurs when Budha occupies Thula while Shukra occupies [nīcha] Kanya. The two graha are mutual friends, yet Shukra is ill-disposed. The nativity enjoys social harmony [Shukra] and commercial acumen [Budha] in non-romantic business relationships. Relatively smooth dealings with little polarizing catalysis from men (except men who mirror one's own addiction issues via [nīcha] Shukra). Yet, there is usually a history of polarizing catalysis via women. Budha exchanged with [nīcha] Shukra provides the clever narratives which describe infidelity to the vow and betrayal of the person. [akashic memory patterning] of perfectionistic [Kanya] expectations , issues surrounding the servitude of the female (often marriage is a service contract) over-compensating women due to the [nīcha] Shukra.
|
||
Budha = Neutral in rashi of Shani Budha feels neither welcome nor unwelcome in Makara, and Kumbha. Hostility from Guru and Mangala In Mesha, Vṛścika, meena and Dhanus, mentalistic Kumara is not welcome. Although Budha is neutral toward His hosts when Budha occupies a rashi of Kuja or Guru, those hosts are hostile to Budha as a tenant. Wisdom-lord Vrihaspati dislikes Professor Budha's superficial, day-to-day perspective which cannot accommodate Guru's "big picture" cosmic understanding. Kuja dislikes Budha's habit of talking when Kuja would prefer to fight. Professor Budha loses some of His objectivity when He resides in the signs of those who dislike Him.
|
||
Who is welcome in Budha's rashi = Mithuna and Kanya? Professor Budha is able to offer a neutral home to all graha except Chandra, toward whom Budha feels an overt dislike. Kanya creates a hostile environment for Professor Chandra. Kanya is the mūlatrikoṇa rashi for Professor Budha who is highly mentalized and distinctively un-emotional. Chandra in Kanya may feel unwelcome in their work environment; indeed one may develop an emotional servitude complex. [Chandra-Kanya] * comforted by remedial aid * sensitive to logical argument * needs to help * works hard to earn the welcome but these natives are self-critical and they feel [Chandra] that they have never done well enough. Usually they work extra hours and also usually these natives will go to their graves feeling that there
Kuja Although accepted as a neutral into Mithuna rashi and Kanya rashi, professor Mangala is very uncomfortable in those analytical, argumentative, verbally dominated places. Kuja is looking for a way to fight and compete.
Guru Although accepted as a neutral into Mithuna rashi and Kanya rashi, Vrihaspati is very uncomfortable in those analytical, argumentative, verbally dominated places. Guru is looking for a way to expand wisdom and understanding.
|
||
Mentality kumara ('the teenager') is the karaka for one's personal mentality. Kumara is quick, incomplete, reactive not reflective, and"smart" . He reveals the internal and external mental processing and messaging style. Thus, professor Budha's role in the Jyotishavidya nativity shows one's power to organize and develop the day-to-day information which humans need to interpret their world.

If Shani owns and aspects bantering Budha's rashi , one may struggle to message effectively. When Shani has inordinate impact on Budha, the native tends toward unclear speech. The mechanics of Shani-influenced Budha include a tendency to reduce meaningful sounds and truncate words, lopping off final syllables, reducing essential vowels, and dropping final consonants even if the language being spoken requires these items for clear meaning. Handwriting may become illegible. One's resistance toward full articulation of the signal-marks (letters, diacritics, connectors, separators, punctuation, etc.) in the script makes the output too minimized and the marks become difficult to distinguish. Writing becomes a slow and laborious process. Grasp of writing implements may be impeded by some manual handicap. |

His Holiness the Dalai Lama
The theory of dependent-arising can be applied everywhere. One benefit of applying this theory = viewing a situation this way gives you a more holistic picture, since whatever the situation is --good or bad -- it depends on causes and conditions. An event is not under its own power but depends on many present causes and conditions as well as many past causes and conditions. Otherwise, it could not come into being.
...Failure to look at the whole picture means realism is lost.
Many factors have to be considered. With awareness of the fuller picture, your outlook becomes reasonable, and your actions become practical, and in this way favorable results can be achieved. |

Budha's mūlatrikoṇa range = entirely within the Nakshatra of Hasta = 16-20 degrees of Kanya -Parthya.

BUDHA is neutral toward everything except STUDIEs The Latin verb studere = to be eager Although this eagerness is often lost in the Chandra-school of education for purpose of personal security (as Trungpa says, "to defend ourselves") indeed the English word 'students' means "the eager ones." |
||
Bantering Budha is often called // the calculator// because He rules the repetitive mental actions .
Whichever domain Budha occupies, the native is busy calculating matters of that environment. If Budha is well disposed, one may also articulate and explain what has been measured and project future plans based on continuous cycling of the established repeating mental pattern. |
||
// Intelligence // reconsidered Guru is the first karaka for language. Yet naturally, as the // measurer 'maata' Shri Budha is also a karaka for grammar, mathematics, and music .
Thus Budha = karaka for intelligence . But it is important to note that Budha's intelligence is more of the calculating and conversing variety of information exchange between humans. Genuine intelligence which is the capacity to channel divine truth, is a property of Surya.
Budha is an absorptive, passive"neutral" graha whose mechanical actions must be chained to a greater force in order to accomplish a spiritual goal. Budha's lord has a great deal of power over the outcome of Budha's behavior. |

[uchcha-Budha], caveat emptor uchcha Budha becomes a"systems " thinker, capable of consciously integrating simultaneous calculations regarding multiple and diverse cycles.

Quality of the speaking voice essential to the educator's profession, is determined by conditions of the 2nd-house from lagna however, 2nd-from-Mercury is also influential.

Meena's Professor Guru only has only one
enemy-- and that is Budha!
Fallen Budha-Meena
(Similar general difficulties attend most rashi conditions for Budha in bhava-12.) |

Surya = the primary karaka for Genius. Yet nīcha-bhanga Budha can produce highly analytical reasoning and accurate articulation of speech. nīcha-bhanga Budha occupies Meena while also in kendra from key points like lagna and/or Chandra.

Although strength of bandesha-4 and yuvati-pati-7 is also required success in higher academics (such as university teaching and research careers) auspicious Mercury is also major indicator of ability to articulate complex thoughts. Most people who earn Ph.D.'s will be found to have the strong positions of Mercury signifying verbal and written articulation and robustly analytical intelligence.
However, it is the professors and consultants in those fields who are the most intellectually engaged with their subject matter. So, when we see a strong Mercury in yoga with favorable Guru and a distinguished kendra lord, we expect not only a professional position , but also a degree of intellectual leadership within that profession. Certain rashi of Budha are allied with specific professions.
Tends to be a decision-tree professional of some stripe. See the gazillionaire investors
svakshetra Budha-Mithuna is also highly articulate but His focus tends toward rapid, short-term communication and rather than Kanya-Budha's slower more comprehensive, longer-term logical inquiry. Mithuna-Budha thrives in any fast-paced business environment. Yet easily bored in stodgy academics. E.g., budha-Mithuna /7 enjoys commercial law. |

Mental Peace through Reasoning , rather than Meditation QUOTATION Tenzing Gyatso . (1997). A Policy of Kindness : An Anthology of Writings By and About the Dalai Lama " Question: You often speak about the need for mental peace. What do you mean by it? Does it denote a specific state of mind? Dalai Lama: Mental peace? If you reduce anger and attachment, you reach a point when your mind always remains calm or stable . It is as simple as that. Strong anger and attachment create waves in your mind. People may not realize when they yield to desire or develop attachment that it will cause them mental unrest. But actually, when a strong desire or attachment occurs, during that moment mental peace is lost. To reduce attachment, especially anger or hatred, leads to mental calmness. This is what we call mental peace. Question: Isn't it also necessary to practice meditation to obtain mental peace? Dalai Lama: My experience is that it is obtained mainly through reasoning. Meditation does not help much. The main cure is to realize how harmful, how negative, anger is. Once you realize very clearly, very convincingly how negative it is, that realization itself has power to reduce anger.
of course anger comes. Anger is like a friend or relative [whom] you cannot avoid and always have to associate with. When you get to know him you realize that he is difficult and that you have to be careful. Every time you meet that person -- still on friendly terms -- you take some precaution . As a result the influence that he has over you grows less and less. In the same way you see the anger coming, but you realize " Ah, it always brings trouble, there is not much point to it."

Budha's problem-solving skills Subject: Potato Garden An old man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, bubba, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his predicament. Dear Bubba,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year.
I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot.
If you were here,
all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.
Love,
dad A few days later he received a letter from his son. Dear Dad, " For HEAVEN'S SAKE,
dad,
don't dig up the garden! That's where I buried the GUNS!"
Love,
bubba At 4 A.M. The next morning, adozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire area without finding any guns. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son. Dear Dad,Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. It's the best I could do under the circumstances. Love, bubba |

QUOTATION from Tenzing Gyatso, dzong-ka-ba and Jeffrey Hopkins, Yoga Tantra: Paths to Magical Feats. Translated and edited by Jeffrey Hopkins. " The first mental abiding, setting the mind, occurs when you initially withdraw the mind inside and place it on the object of observation, not letting it scatter to external objects. This is a result of the first power--hearing instructions on how to set the mind on an object of observation.
With gradual cultivation, you develop the continuum of placement on the object." |

QUOTATION Das / Behari commentary re: Budha " It is difficult to find Mercury alone in the Zodiac. Therefore, this planet cannot give good or bad results alone.
Mercury is known as being neutral, sexless and convertible." [BPL note: 'sexless' = 'gender-less'. Dualistic Budha the Coupler is a karaka for vibrant sexual communication and sexual narrative. Yet, ever-adaptable Budha can assume a variety of roles (masculine, feminine, mental, physical) within any sexual discourse. ] |

Q: I recall reading in a book that Mercury takes on the quality and nature of any planet it's conjunct with. Is that true? A: Professor Budha never loses His characteristic behavior as the calculating-computing communications signal-controller. Venerable Lord Kumara is always in charge of signs, significations, assignments, enseignement, zeichen, signs and wonders, messages, meetings, schedules, calendars, writing, painting, hand-craft, tools, techniques, technologies, training, logic, arguments, plans, medicine, instructions, information, explanation, data, descriptions, details, examples, reports, announcements, and mental polarities. As the controller of the mental traffic grid, Busy Budha's portfolio of skills and subject-areas is as large and important as any other classical graha. However, like any other graha, Bantering Budha will express His characteristic behavior via the environment of the bhava and the rashi into which He was born, and that environment will include any co-tenant graha. Budha mentalizes and rationalizes the perceptions just as Shukra sensualizes the perceptions and Shani legalizes the perceptions. But that does not mean that the Kumara is dominated by His co-graha. Rather, Budha is the only graha who can gesture, interpret, read, write, speak, and hear. Therefore, bantering Budha is the only graha who can explain what the other graha are doing. Naturally Budha is well able to explain the doings of the graha who are closest to Him, since they dominate His immediate environment. Therefore, when Professor Budha = yuti another graha, the Kumara becomes an effective agent for communicating the portfolio of that graha. Media-messaging behavior is itself a type of cultural content, not just a process -- so Budha definitely has His own content. |
