QUOTATION

Das commentary upon Surya-Kumbha:

Hrida-roga * enemy of the heart

"pushes you towards illicit romantic liaisons, which you will have to struggle to avoid.

  • Watch for heart trouble .

You may find that your past dealings with others leave you in a position where others see you as unpopular, to be avoided.

The best way to avoid this is to avoid its cause, which is a tendency to dominate and manipulate,

  • caused by having a very strong thinking capacity, which may put you over others who are simpler in mind.

Watch for these during Sun ruled periods.

  • If not major Sun period comes in the current life, then perhaps these things will not manifest very much in this life.

You have great strength and courage but a short temper .

In some way or at one point in life, you will gain through other people's marriage partners .

  • If this only comes once in life, then it is of little concern.

  • Otherwise, this may indicate the ability to be a divorce attorney, marriage counselor, etc.

Due to something you believe or do , you may be not liked by the truly learned,

  • probably due to some connection with"lowliness ".

There is an underlying current of unhappiness or sorrow running through your life.

  • This is not necessarily bad, as it may push you on towards spirituality for answers.

However, this Sun indicates some low vibrations in Aquarius,

  • so watch out for being fraudulent , a traitor, dirty or miserly."

SuryaKumbha_cosmosbipinnatus.JPG

flower of the Cosmos Bipinnatus

In Kumbha rashi, Surya is called Arka = radio waves. (cf. Ark of the Covenant, a radio crystal-set)

Surya-Kumbha = Arka * bright center of networked systems

Sparkling, self-directed Surya occupies air-space scientific hridroga (enemy of the heart) Kumbha.

Remarkably self-referential socially, with a tangible focus on the larger system along with limited regard for individual welfare. Dedicated to the collective progress.

Futurism

Kumbha = oriented more predominantly toward the future, and relatively less concerned about phenomena of past or present. Thus in personal relationships, Surya-Kumbha may add a brilliant view of future potentials while simultaneously neglecting the realities of the current situation.

Not ideologues but rather "teleologues"

Surya-Kumbha nativities = characteristically disinterested in changing their ideas or behavior in response to current needs of a partnership or group welfare. Thinking tends to be proudly rigid, and self-justification based on external achievements. Therefore, the long-suffering friends, relatives, and marriage partner (if any) may need to accommodate a pattern of future justification and teleological thinking.

Incommensurable patterns = Kumbha future cosmos vs. Karkata past = local roots and routines

Entitled to act creatively (Surya) according to the cosmic law (Kumbha) rather than the local custom (Karkata = 6th-from-Kumbha). Marriage challenges may be associated with acts of (locally adjudged) disloyalty, dishonesty, or moral irregularity. Conflict may be heightened by presence of graha in Karkata

  • Knowledge of Higher Worlds 1861-1925 Rudolf Steiner * Shani-8 parivartamsha Surya-2. A shining example of the Surya-Kumbha class lighthouse genius of future vision, Steiner nevertheless had enemies. Bad ones. He suffered interpersonal and cultural conflict due to following his futuristic heart. His first marriage to his landlady and mother-figure ended in divorce. In a vicious nighttime attack, the self-appointed Nationalist (Karkata) police burned his collective visionary center Goetheanum to the ground.

Prone toward big picture viewpoint. In one's own eyes, an electro-magnetic genius and community network hero. Often a scientist, mathematician, systems-philosopher, or social-participation activist.

Arka is less capable of interpersonal engagement and more distinguished by their self-certain entitlement (Surya) to free thinking and free action. It is the free action element which may cause interpersonal tension.

The Shani-governed certainty that one is governed by a higher law is somewhat separative Mental health complications may be related to the internal narrative of the Surya-yuti-Budha pairing, although these would resolve by the age of Shani's maturity (36).

Unless Surya joins Rahu, Mangala, or Shani, Arka is normally neither pompous nor arrogant. Their seniority is based on a uniquely creative intellectuality . In its best expressions, Surya's intelligence radiates Shani's virtues of maturity, neutrality, and lawfulness. In less ideal expressions, may signify immorality as an outcome of this sense of core freedom.

Tend to flourish in academics, electronic industries, drama, and other environments where Shani themes of Time, Seniority, and Orderly Systems may be exemplified in a single characteristic individual.

Family life is not blocked, but Surya-Kumbha folk tend to dislike the pressure of relentless close contact. May seem to be selfish actors within the family unit. Yet socially the best examples have emerged from personal challenges as veritable lighthouses of cosmic universalism.

Arka enjoys a vast perspective. Yet Surya focus is upon the System, not the individual components.

"I am" self-centric identity formed by thoughts emitting from The Series of Suns

"I am" networked, connected, knotted, knitted-in, interlinked.

In Kumbha rashi, Arka suffers from reduced heat, attenuated rays, and cooled heart connection. This vacuum is replaced by advanced capacity for systematic awareness of universal patterned connection patterns such as mathematical, geometrical, and certain abstract philosophical webworks. Often gifted in economic and ecological sciences.

Arka personality occupies the center of a centerless knitted web-like marketplace of voluntary associations = a distributed commonwealth.

  • Surya-Kumbha is often called "immoral" since large-systems do not host much awareness of individual responsibility nor are extensive systems typically bound to any localized folkways, ancient customs, and established cultural norms or parameters (mora = walls. morality applies "within the walls" of a particular settlement).

  • Surya-Kumbha tends to apprehend reality through the lens of 'the environment' or 'the system' -- not of individual agency.

  • excellent placement for computer networkers of every rank, from technical to conceptual

superb placement for one at the center of extensive interlinked systems which transmit by association and distribution rules,

When uncomfortably placed, Arka may signal a certain amount of economic conceit. One may radiate the self-righteous claim to be progressing toward right goals (such as right-livelihood) when indeed the goals are projected for purpose of self-justification. The key issue for Arka is the Shani-imposed certainty (Surya) of materialism, which can produce empirical science mastery while also generating a social handicap of preference for justification by extremely achievement rather than heart-based autheticity.

commodities-concepts which travel along the electro-magnetic waves are often characterized as economic activities, community and social-participatory organization, or relational interactions of scientific, conceptual-thought

advantageous in the study and practice of positivistic science

natural social-progressive thinkers who seek to advance more opportunities for social-economic participation

  • Best Is Yet to Come 1949- designer Ivana Zelnickova Trump * Surya-yuti-Kuja * Surya-5 Parivartamsha Shani-11 * creative agent promoted her own commercially successful interior design and homeware product lines. She sold the products on television (5 = 3rd-from-3rd) via accessible-to-the-masses (Kumbha) Home Shopping Network. Lagnesha Zukra-yuti-commercial-Budha occupies bhava-4 home.

Kumbha = 8th-from-Karkata, and Surya is independent by nature. Surya-Kumbha may provide symbolic visibility for social community (Kumbha) yet may fail to uphold customary local ethnic moral standards (Karkata the Walls, mora) in the personal behavior

  • USA-Sen-Mass 1932-2009 Teddy Kennedy + Budha-yuti-Mangala (10). A great champion of proletarian political rights, public access to healthcare, and community foundational education, Senator Kennedy was also disgraced via public alcoholism and sexual promiscuity (also his Zukra-yuti-Rahu)

  • Shambala 1939-1987 Tulku Chogyam Trungpa + Budha-yuti-Guru

  • My Sweet Lord 1943-2001 Beatle George Harrison * Surya-yuti-Ketu (3)

  • Cleopatra 1932-2011 AIDS activist Elizabeth Taylor was a lifelong philanthropic donor on a large scale, supporting AIDS research and patient care in an era when AIDS victims were ostracized and shamed. However her personal life suffered from eight marriages-divorces as well as drug abuse.

  • Golden Girls 1934-2010 drama Rue McClanahan + Kuja-yuti-Budha was lauded for her many contributions to social progressive (Kumbha( intelligence (Surya) for her ability to portray aging (Shani) women and their complex networks (Kumbha) of relationships.

  • born one day previous to Cleopatra 1932-2011, AIDS activist Elizabeth Taylor, Ring of Fire 1932-2003 rockabilly Johnny Cash was a tremendous philanthropist with lifelong commitments to prison reform and children's orphanages. Yet his personal life was rife with infidelity, drugs, and violence.

  • My Sweet Lord 1943-2001 Beatle George Harrison * Surya-yuti-Ketu (3) was a dedicated supporter of missionary outreach from his faith community (Rahu-9). Yet, in personal life he suffered from substance addictions and marital irregularities

  • Moonies 1920-2012 Rev. Sun Myung Moon * Surya-yuti-Budha. * Surya-3 parivartamsha Shani-9 * Rev. Moon successfully represented himself as the radiantly iconic center of a worship cult. His financial behavior failed to adhere to the customary moral standards, as he collected substantial funds from believers then over a period of 25 years, invested the donated capital into worldwide business empire held by members of his family. Guru-8-uttama-Karkata is exceptionally strong in shad-bala, suggesting the success of undisclosed assets under the camouflage of untaxed religious donations.

  • Apple Computer 1955-2011 Steve Jobs ** Surya-1 rules-7 initially disavowed his first child, refused to pay child support, cheated colleagues...

Willful Suraja is too uniquely ego-centric to mesh comfortably in networked Kumbha = distribution within an Inter-linked Group. The social and economic distribution system suffers when Suraja occupies Kumbha. The native often resents the will of the majority and may act autocratically when group linkage is required.

Surya-Kumbha Holds the contradictory role of being in the center of a web that has no center.

may indicate attempts to express personal political, creative or dramatic genius (Surya) within a strict system-regulated economic transaction network (Kumbha) resulting in occasional acts of personal-override of the network rules. Wants to represent the networked, sharing community, but the personality appears self-referential.

displays of individuality and showmanship (Surya) within large, impersonal, regulated systems (Kumbha)

In swakshetra of Shani, solipsistic Surya-11 has Shani-weakened confidence in one's ability to live by the bright light of Surya's divine truth.

This placement may indicate dishonest-or-irregular male figures who do not lack intelligence but who do lack confidence in truth. They may personally regulate the system (Kumbha) in fear that the revenue, rewards, earning, or profits will be insufficient.

This system-gaming (Kumbha system; Surya gaming) behavior typically begins with the father (Surya pitrikaraka) and father's siblings (11 = 3rd-from-9) and extends to the male native.

  • Father of Apple Computer 1955-2011 Steve Job worked in casino gambling.

Surya in bhava-1 rules-7 contracts agreement, partnership, bargaining, marriage, alliance, deal-making. Center of a personality, identity, unique individual, singular environment. Can produce some dishonesty or irregularity in obtainment of authentic identity. May be a radiantly intelligent (Surya) personality at the center of a great network, but lacking interpersonal relationships.

  • A New Earth 1948- philosopher Eckhart Tolle * Surya-yuti-Budha. A brilliant philosopher with outreach network to a community of millions, Eckhart Tolle prefers solitude unless he is delivering ideas about relationships.

  • Apple Computer 1955-2011 Steve Jobs* iconic product representative, who designed and promoted flamboyantly, using his own image

Surya in bhava-2 rules-8 occult, undisclosed, secret, confidential assets environment. Center of a knowledge treasury, banking, storage, collections, history, language, lineage-values environment.

  • POTUS-16 Emancipation 1809-1865 Abraham Lincoln * Surya-yuti-Budha.

  • Knowledge of Higher Worlds 1861-1925 Rudolf Steiner * Shani-8 parivartamsha Surya-2 * Mr. Steiner struggled to describe the occult narrative with conventional vocabulary that was linked to commonly (Kumbha) understood concepts. Although his spoken stories were not always clear, the Shani-8 parivartamsha Surya-2 supplied enough support to continue the effort.

Surya in bhava-3 rules-9 credenda, paradigm of belief, patronage, father-figures. Center of a collaborative, teamwork, writing, publishing, conference, audience environment. Can produce some dishonesty or irregularity in obtainment of doctrinal authenticity. Particularly impacts ensemble, entourage, writers, publications, media-messaging, commerce, siblings.

  • My Fair Lady 1908-1990 musical theatre Rex Harrison * Surya-yuti-Budha

  • Moonies 1920-2012 Rev. Sun Myung Moon * Surya-yuti-Budha. * Surya-3 parivartamsha Shani-9 * Rev. Moon offered the believers a simple, patriarchal, authority-centered catechism (Shani-Simha-9) in exchange for their copious unpaid teamwork labor, diligent fundraising, and propaganda delivery (Surya-Kumbha-3 ++ Budha).

  • Shambala 1939-1987 Tulku Chogyam Trungpa + Budha-yuti-Guru Trungpa was considered by some to exemplify a weakened, less strict, too personalized expression of the Vajrayana doctrines.

  • My Sweet Lord 1943-2001 Beatle George Harrison * Surya-yuti-Ketu famed teamwork with The Beatles musical band. Also considered by some in his faith community to exemplify a much less strict, non-conforming lifestyle than typically required of members.

Surya in bhava-4 rules-10 social authority, governance, symbolic roles. Center of a patriotic, parental, and boundaries, nationalistic, security, schooling, cultural roots environment.

Surya in bhava-5 rules-11 friendship, social networks, economic systems, earnings . Center of a dramatic, political, child-centered, fashionable, creative performance environment. Can produce some dishonesty or irregularity in obtainment of celebrity entitlements.

  • Best Is Yet to Come 1949- designer Ivana Zelnickova Trump * Surya-yuti-Kuja * Surya-5 Parivartamsha Shani-11. Mrs. Trump over-the-top plebian style offended some members of the social elite, but as a newcomer socialite she was praised for force, persistence, and chutzpah.

Surya in bhava-6 * Vimala Yoga * rules-12 invisible, private bedroom, sanctuary, imagination, clairsentient guidance . Center of a military, medical, oor service-ministry environment. Generally a benevolent yoga. Can produce some dishonesty or irregularity in obtainment of political privileges in distant lands.

Surya in bhava-7 rules-1 personality, identity, birth, physical appearance . Center of a peerage, advising. negotiations, trading environment. Can produce some dishonesty or irregularity in obtainment of business partnership and marriage alliance.

  • Avant-gardiste 1933- Beatle-pair Yoko Ono + Budha-yuti-Rahu * Ms. Ono has been perceived as having used marital infidelity as a tool to gain her celebrated creative identity.

  • After spending much of his life writing (3) songs about infidelity, crime, and bar fights, Ring of Fire 1932-2003 rockabilly Johnny Cash + Budha-yuti-Mangala dedicated his life to providing Bible-based doctrinal guidance for others. Yet, he continued to struggle with debt and intoxicants, suggesting that perhaps he should personally follow the guidance before preaching it to others (9).

Surya in bhava-10 rules-4 mother-figures, home, patriotism, land boundaries, nationalism, security, schooling, cultural foundations. Center of an elite leadership, institutional hierarchy environment. Can produce some dishonesty or irregularity in obtainment of social authority.

  • USA-Sen-Mass 1932-2009 Teddy Kennedy + Budha-yuti-Mangala * Ted Kennedy held a USA Senate seat from 1962 until 2009. His career spanned 47 years, he served millions of America's lowest class citizens. Yet his governance authority was often questioned on moral grounds due to scandals involving marital infidelity, sex, liquor, and insinuated murder. Kennedy was regularly accused of dishonest behavior, but he never once lost an election (Chandra-4-Simha provides a strong local base).

Surya in bhava-11 * Mesha lagna * rules-5 glamour, politics, theatre, creativity. Center of an economically regulated, social-connectivity environment. Can produce some dishonesty or irregularity in obtainment of authentically earned profits. Only a one or two, carefully chosen friendships.

Center of a private, secluded, socially invisible, sanctuary environment such as espionage, scientific research, or monastic retreat. Generally a benevolent yoga which assists spying and unseen politics in distant worlds. Can produce some dishonesty or irregularity in obtainment of guidance from Otherworlds or spiritual authenticity.

  • POTUS-01 American Revolution 1732-1799 George Washington * in addition to conducting covert political (Surya) operations with spies on both sides of the Atlantic, mainly through his plantation-owning wife's extensive network (Kumbha) of tobacco buyers, masonic General Washington received high-level spiritual guidance.

Surya-Kumbha can however serve as the iconic image of a principled, populist social participation movement

a friend to the common man; an enemy of kings:

  • Knowledge of Higher Worlds 1861-1925 Rudolf Steiner * Shani-8 parivartamsha Surya-2 * Steiner resisted the Nazi regime and its vicious oppressions

  • POTUS-01 American Revolution 1732-1799 George Washington (12 espionage) led the American fight against oppressive taxes imposed by the English crown

  • POTUS-09 Tecumseh 1773-1841 William Henry Harrison * Guru-yuti-Surya * Surya-4 Parivartamsha Shani-10 * advocated for cheaper, smaller land parcels to increase the size of the Eiro-American settler community (Kumbha community) in the Northwest Territories

  • POTUS-16 Emancipation 1809-1865 Abraham Lincoln steadfastly upheld the right of the Union to illegalize slavery

  • USA-Sen-Mass 1932-2009 Teddy Kennedy + Budha-yuti-Mangala (10 governance) Throughout a lifetime career in public service, he politically (Surya) promoted the social participation (Kumbha) of the poor and working peoples, including the socially marginalized and physically handicapped. Kumbha = career 7th-from-Chandra

  • Cleopatra 1932-2011 AIDS activist Elizabeth Taylor + Mangala-yuti-Budha * supported the cause of shunned, socially ostracized AIDS patients and demanded that government executives devote attention to their care

Due to the extensive distributing * not concentrating * function of Kumbha, it is all about the people, the network, the movement. For Surya-Kumbha, too much attention cannot be focused upon self-glorifying personalities - else the movement will be weakened.

  • My Sweet Lord 1943-2001 Beatle George Harrison * Surya-yuti-Ketu (cooperation, teamwork, publication) missionary Vaishnavism

  • Ring of Fire 1932-2003 rockabilly Johnny Cash + Budha-yuti-Mangala. Particularly after his second marriage to Old Time Feeling 1929-2003 music-comedy June Carter Cash , Johnny Cash developed more of a missionary style. His music increasingly catered to an audience identified with born-again countryside "tent-revival" style of spiritual rebirth and redemption.

  • USA-Sen-MA 1932-2009 Teddy Kennedy + Budha-yuti-Mangala * American democratic populism, expansion of economic participation opportunities

Arka must adapt the ego-personality to the conditions of the collective marketplace economy. The personal genius (Ravi) = socially recognized only as a vehicle for the delivery of economically important behaviors to the community.

  • The person is defined by the community; the community is not defined by the person.

  • It is not allowed to force or charm the extensive, centerless, impersonal economy to adapt to one's claim to be a central or originating source of power.

Any attempt to centralize, glamorize or dramatize the economic behaviors to assert (as Surya does love to assert) that one = the charismatic center of power will generally be punished when Surya occupies lowest-common-denominator Kumbha.

  • To avoid the accusations of immorality and disregard for common well being which sometimes accompany Surya-Kumbha placement, the native should avoid any claims along the lines of 'superior', 'noble', 'unique', 'brilliant' etc. which could suggest that one sees oneself as living above, below, or outside the law (Rahu).

  • Surya-Kumbha must juxtapose the ego's natural claim to recognition of special-ness with the reality of Kumbha = extensive tightly regulated distributive systems where egocentricity is dysfunctional.

One's natural genius seeks to be in the center of distributive systems, communities and networks, social participation movements.

Kumbha = the polar opposite of Ravi's regal splendor intelligence in moolatrikona Simha.

In Kumbha, Ravi's ego-membrane expression depends on the character of Surya's bitter enemy: survivalist, materialist Shani.

Self-determination and ability to radiate from a central position = minimized when Surya occupies The web of Kumbha, a network of regulated pulsations which has no center.

  • The heart may feel bone-dry.

  • Personal ego = desiccated in Kumbha's rarified dryness. (but brightly radiant in bhava-5).

The social ego-membrane is entirely defined by one's role in the marketplace of goods and ideas or by the social-scientific-economic-ideological community. No higher principles are known; one is defined by the network.

"Arka" may radiate Ravi-confidence in matters of the common people, and their weaknesses, very well.

Weakness when manageable presents opportunities for growth.

  • As Surya-Kumbha native POTUS-16 Emancipation 1809-1865 Abraham Lincoln + Budha famously said, "God must love the common people; He made so many of them."

Visible public behavior = psychologically driven by childhood memories of being ostracized (pushed out from the mainstream center) and praised for making gainful associations.

When Surya is strong, royalty delight in the presence of other royalty.

  • Entertainers enjoy the performances of other entertainers.

  • Literary genius personalities bask in the radiant light of others so gifted.

But when Surya is weak, no matter how gifted one's creative output might be, the person is unhappy socially, feeling ostracized, and seeking companionship with other similarly marginalized.

Arka often able to get into the zone of contented interior nervous-system coordination when working on designs and tasks related to their marketplace role.

  • General Electric 1847-1931 Thomas Edison + Zukra-yuti-Shani (10) was criticized by his teachers and marginalized by his schoolmates due to his inability to focus upon the central topic of study . History would reveal Edison to have been exceptionally bright in terms of scientific technical innovation - specifically his ability to connect technical devices to his 'network' of electrical power. However, Edison's biggest handicap was his inability to praise the creative intelligence of others (Surya Kumbha trait) except insofar as he could exploit it for marketplace profit.

The error is not selfishness, but rather the reverse. One's attention naturally moves to the highly regulated structure of the network of interconnection among people, ideas, and things both living and inanimate. One has a great sense of progressive social movements , the marketplace of goods and ideas, and the material cosmos.

However, the consciousness may be almost completely devoid of the concepts of centrality, divinity, or uniqueness or genius. There follows an unfortunate tendency to denigrate the creative integrity of those around one.

Surya-Kumbha is often called unethical in the commentaries. That is mainly because Surya is weakened in the rashi of His arch-enemy Shani and Kumbha = 8th-from-Karkata (Karka represents the place of settlement, the walls (mora walls, morality) and the ethical customs.)

Surya is focused on the larger, universal-scale system and not focused upon the local customs of villages, towns, or Earthly nations.

Arka may reject the concept of personal responsibility for negative social actions while ironically seeming willing to accept personal credit for same.

This is possible because one holds a self-view of having been assigned to bring light of free thought into the system and radiate connections while at the same time the ego-membrane is very much reduced.

Surya-Kumbha = humbly aware of having simply been assigned to be born in the right place at the right time, with the right eccentricities, to hold a somewhat arbitrarily powerful role in the center of a system.

Surya-Kumbha = anonymous systems orientation; may lack concern for the impact that one's actions may have upon the lives of specific people.

Rather, one sees a collective distributive associative system in which certain temporarily iconic individuals "speak out from the crowd"

Surya = ego-membrane identification with physical science esp. matters of electricity, networks, radiance, light, heat, centrality, soul. Wants to shine in fields of electrical engineering and computer science.

Also affiliated with and wants to shine in association with the intellectual cultures of social science such as organizational psychology, sociology, political science, economics.

The Surya-Kumbha Dilemma

Not an easy position since Surya needs to shine, to perform, to be in the center of things, to be recognized and admired, but He is is severely oppressed within Kumbha = an infinite network that has no center.

One wants to be the center of the party, a famous scientist, an iconic symbol of a socially progressive movement, or a great intellectual whose conceptual brilliance astounds the public.

Unfortunately, the energy of the system consumes the energy of the ego-membrane and one is little recognized nor admired. Often simply eccentric and does not seem to fit in socially.

In order to succeed and be personally contented with this disabled position of Surya, one must become conceptually and philosophically a true populist. If the native will accept that one's entitlement to recognition for exceptional performance (Surya) has been intentionally suppressed by the spirit in this lifetime, for higher purposes, life will be much easier.

Even if Surya-Kumbha receives recognition, it will be sporadic, disproportionate to the authentic nature of the achievement, and indeed the consequences of fame are often specifically burdensome.

A prominent role (Surya) in large progressive social organizations (Kumbha)

  • POTUS-01 American Revolution 1732-1799 George Washington

  • POTUS-16 Emancipation 1809-1865 Abraham Lincoln

  • Avant-gardiste 1933- Beatle-pair Yoko Ono * anti-war activist

  • Apple Computer 1955-2011 Steve Jobs * collaborative developer (with Reed College professor Richard Crandall) of the smart phone which put internet computers into the hands of billions

The psychic stress of excessive public attention upon on the flesh-body shell can cause Arka to seek out numbing medications to relieve the overloaded circuits

  • Golden Girls 1934-2010 drama Rue McClanahan * a gifted dramatist whose career included decades of theatre and book-writing. She also struggled with alcoholism and was married six times.

  • Cleopatra 1932-2011 AIDS activist Elizabeth Taylor * She also struggled with alcoholism and was married eight times.

  • My Fair Lady 1908-1990 musical theatre Rex Harrison * Surya-yuti-Budha = Mr. Harrison was a gifted musical dramatist, stage entertainer, and ladies' man. He also struggled with alcoholism and was married six times.

Even with good health practices, the stress of too much public attention upon a weakened Surya can make one quite sick

Surya-Kumbha = typically advised to decline opportunities for elite executive (10) or kingly (5) type of commanding roles; taking in their stead roles of non-central, socially responsive ombudsman and signal-repeater: policy-making , bureaucratic functionary, and teacher or facilitator within large movements

Philosophically abstract, conceptual-networked Kumbha = a truly inhospitable rashi for Surya. Similar to the constraint as Surya-Makara above. Yet in Shani's stronger mulatrikona rashi, the solar channel for divinity into human-ness, ethically truthful, independent ego-membrane is abstracted into"just another member of the group".

Strengthens determination to achieve material gain.

Substitutes conceptual scientific experimentalism and strategicmarketplace agenda for the authentic intelligent motivation to validate the good in everyone.

This error leads to dehumanization in relationships, and mutual distrust within the group. the native does not trust those in one's company, nor do they trust the native .

Often perceived as untrustworthy, due to lacking a moral foundation in life

Leads to dryness of the heart . Skin rash and nerve disorder.

Low willpower, low confidence and insecure social expression , can't handle conflict and wants to get along with everyone.

Compare to Enneagram 9.

Tends to be socially uncomfortable, edgy; perceived as disloyal or too scientific, too conceptual, too abstract. Despite talent and intelligence, the native is generally not well-liked.

one's sense of self is considerably swayed by marketplace forces. One is vulnerable to loss of personality through group cult and organizational pressures.

In the Jyotisha literature, Ravi-Kumbha is often called"degraded" or"depraved". This result occurs because the personal ethic is dominated by the will of the marketplace, or by the will of the Assembly.

Situational ethics similar to Surya/Makara but tends toward elaborate rationalizations and futuristic explanations rather than the simple expedient politics of Makara-Surya.

Having no clear personal grasp of right and wrong, the native is not inclined to challenge wrongdoers and fancies himself a man of peace. Will study many belief systems without personally subscribing to any of them.

If Budha = Kumbha = advanced conceptual intelligence for mathematics, electronics, and philosophical science. Charitable, humble and unpretentious , Surya-Kumbha identifies with the people, the masses, the plebiscite.

They identify with big numbers and big systems. Unfortunately, in their humility, all the depravity of the lowest classes seems sensible and excusable. Therefore, despite technical excellence, one may practice corrupt personal habits.

  • Surya is weak in His enemy Shani's rashi of Kumbha, where Ravi becomes a renegade. Despite their own need for authority, these natives have low tolerance for broader social rules, and like to function independently within the big systems they are bound to.

  • When Surya occupies the prestigious 10th, they are ego-identified with their Big System, yet also rule-breakers within their system. They are proud of their ability to evade the rules. They can get into moral and legal polarizing catalysis as a result of their self-centered view that their personal value to the system is so high that they are exempt from system rules.

If Budha the Articulator is strong, Surya-Kumbha = ego-membrane identification urge to play a central role with physical science esp. matters of electricity, computers, networks, radiance, light, heat; wants to shine with genius in intellectual disciplines social science such as organizational psychology, sociology, political science, economics, and the futuristic sciences

If Budha is weak or if Surya is especially strong one may seek a central technical role within some collective such as a large participatory-networked corporation

a labor union or a principle-based, regulated social-change movement

It is a bit of an oxymoron to have a central role in a distributive network which by nature has no fixed center... therefore this native may be frustrated in the search to find one's place in public life.

Father

Father or father-figure, who may be the grandfather or other dominant male = concerned with marketplace gain and large-group affiliation.

  • USA-Sen-Mass 1932-2009 Teddy Kennedy + Budha-yuti-Mangala (10) His father was a former chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, former stock-market broker, and networker extraordinaire.

The father = dominant and emotionally detached, with a strategic, expedient, mentally conceptual orientation to both public and private life.

The Arka father may be an expositor of intelligence from a strictly theoretical "systems " viewpoint.

Yet his own beliefs are pragmatic and his application of those beliefs is unerringly strategic, toward the realization of his material goals.

  • General Electric 1847-1931 Thomas Edison + Zukra-yuti-Shani (10) had a long-living, smoking-and-drinking, oft-unemployed father * Surya-Kumbha zero degrees in a dead state. The father did no obvious harm to his son as lagnesha Zukra-Kumbha has social-networking qualities. His father became a partner (Zukra) to son Edison as a construction supervisor for Thomas' primary laboratory. However his father (Surya) showed a taste for whiskey and young servant ladies (Zukra). Three weeks after the death of Edison's mother, Edison's father married his 16-year-old house servant. Surya-Kumbha has a penchant for unique social behavior. Considering what they both knew about his mom's behavior, represented by Edison's Mula-Chandra-Mangala-8, it is not too surprising that Edison fully supported his widowed, elderly father's immediate remarriage to his 16-year old housekeeper.

Lacking personal access to divine certainty, the father may substitute any internally coherent ideology which meets his logical requirements for philosophical connectivity. He will pick and choose principles for living based on their instrumental value for achieving his current objectives .

He cannot offer praise because he does not easily recognize the ego-membrane validation entitlements of others.

In family life, this father may be either silent or bitterly critical of the child's behaviors. He is not aware that his criticism is cuttingly destructive of the child's ego-membrane development, since his own sensitivity to personal ego-membrane was destroyed during his own childhood. Thus this father, without ever displaying explicitly immoral behaviors, may have evil effects upon the child.

The father's intelligence is focused on achieving material and status goals. This achievement may be instrumentally justified as being intended for the increased welfare of the family. But in truth the father's goal-achievement strategy is his own, and whatever benefits are gained have little value to him or anyone else.

He is something of a robot on course toward gainfulness as its own abstract purpose, with little personal connection to either the principles he may espouse or the people to whom he may espouse them.

This man was ostracized as a child, and he may feel disconnected from humanity throughout life.

Karaka = a shorter lifespan for the father, due to dry heart and nervous overwork. He passes along the cold-hearted view to his child, that marketplace driven expedient affiliations and their logically resulting material gainfulness are the superior social principles of life.

As always, if Shani is dignified, the negative implications are reversed, and the father may -- with time and maturity -- display superior moral character.
