(Kuja-Shukra-Yama)

One emotionally interprets most life experience as carrying a burden.

The native = psychically grounded via the task of collecting natural resources and historical knowledge.

Natural resources can include all of earth's beauty and nourishment, material wealth, knowledge of languages and history, collections of valuable items, and timing of physical death

• Edgar Cayce = knowledge of earth history

• Karl Marx, Ronald Reagan, Lakshmi Narayan Mittal = natural resources, economics = wealth systems

• Mother Teresa = timing and values of physical death (Chandra + Shani)

• Harish Johari = art

• Meryl Streep = languages, face-mouth

The native is emotionally identified with the task of carrying collected or historic wealth (the burden).

Materially minded, steady,  and conservative folk who keep a steady eye on the money [Shukra].

• If Kuja is strong, the Bharani-Chandra native will aggressively pursue acquisitions.

• Materially productive.

Capable of bearing significant personal and family responsibility.

• Feeling of persistent heaviness in life = many obligations and duties.

• Feels pressured, burdened and oppressed.

• But the burden must be carried; the work must go on.

Can be emotionally repressed, or may become the agent who oppresses others, or one who uncomplainingly serves the oppressed -- often all three.

Typically a bear-and-carrier of conservative values, one who harkens toward olden days of more simple and more physically "solid" values.

• More comfortable to bear the burden of the past (Yama); untrusting of an uncertain future.

Deep intuitive understanding of embedded, internalized oppression. Comprehends or apprehends the brilliant results that may follow a sustained commitment to bear & carry.

• Accepts heavy responsibilities.

• Takes the lion's share of responsibility for one's relationship, family, organization, nation-state, or one's entire society.

Becomes wealthy through fleshly (Mesha) effort

• never showy or ostentatious. Flashy "Conspicuous consumption" is not this native's style, unless the nativity contains in addition more "showcase" graha, in Simha or the Phalguni-pair.

• The Bharani native typically displays an intentionally modest lifestyle and appearance which does not broadcast the considerable wealth accrued

• At the same time, one feels (Chandra) a need to maintain a competitive physique (Mangala) and wear attractive clothing (Shukra).

  • The fleshly well-being and appearance is important to the native, and similar to the other Shukra-ruled nakshatra (Chandra in Purvaphalguni  ; Chandra in Purvaashadha ) one make an effort to maintain an attractive appearance.

• When Bharani Moon is not impeded by other factors (Meryl Streep), the native often enjoys a physically fit and well-dressed presentation well into their later decades (Ronald Reagan, Meryl Streep, Demi Moore).

  • If Chandra is with Shani or Ketu, a more depressed countenance and inattention to the appearance can result. Yet the native will retain an aura of sturdiness. = Mother Teresa; Edgar Cayce shani drishti

  • If Chandra is with Rahu, the appearance of "sturdy good looks" can be much amplified. = Ronald Reagan

Issues with jealousy.

• Tendency toward envy of others who "have it easier".

• Others also express envy toward the native, criticizing the native's steady progress toward material success.

• The native's true feelings may hide behind the somber work ethic.

Tends toward human resources or slave-management roles. One's work will also bear sweet fruits of wealth & rewarding work-related relationships (Shukra-Kuja).

Can be a compulsive workaholic or can feel that one is working oneself to Death.

Feels a deep sense of security and belonging

When carrying a burden, whether physical, emotional, psychological, social, financial, mental, or spiritual. (I.e., any type of burden whether material or conceptual.)

The native will establish the deepest emotional bond with one who works alongside or shares the weight. This person may be the co-parent, the co-executive, the co-leader, or the cooperating carrier in any setting.

• Deep emotional need to carry work burdens & feel respected for one's work.

Spiritual director of this section of the path:

• Yama, "the controller"

Trauma profile:

• Fear of death; fear of leaving a secure environment; fear of losing the anchor of heaviness provided by one's defining responsibilities or burdens

Navamsha Moon in Bharani (intimate relationships).

• Sen. John Edwards (presidential candidate, 2008 sex scandal)

• Jackie Kennedy Onassis

• Elizabeth Taylor (actress)

In order to mirror one's own subconscious emotional patterns, one attracts a core partner who expresses Bharani behavior.

Under emotional stress in relationships, the native with navamsha Chandra in Bharani can experience deep anxiety reactions manifested as compulsive self-emburdening & taking on more & more work duties.

In stressful environments, the native needs to acquire ballast weight. When faced with professional, moral, financial, or emotional responsibilities that total up to more than one can handle, this native tends to overextend their responsibilities even further.

Catastrophic breakage can result

(See former presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards, who responded to the severe family stress of his wife's terminal but lingering cancer by taking on another intimate relationship & fathering an illicit child. This is nakshatra Bharani Moon in action. He was emotionally stressed to the limit and so instinctively took on more, to the point of devastating career-and-family collapse. )

The partner is highly & perhaps excessively responsible, with a tendency to try to carry more than their bodies or spirits can reasonably bear.

Even when things are going well, the partner puts work & public responsibility ahead of personal pleasure or family well-being. Ironically, the partner, who was chosen by the native for qualities of work ethic and dedication to material stability, may become emotionally unavailable to the native due to their deep commitment to outside work.

Partner needs mental & physical space to do their work, plan the work of others, and worry about workplace matters. Partner is well-respected socially, but emotionally distracted by their own need to be praised for material accomplishments, social stability, and hard work.
