Radix Moon in Bharani  = "Womb" - bearing, slow & steady

(Kuja-Shukra-Yama)

Extremely hard-working "Bear and Carry"

Emotionally sensible & conservative folk who keep a steady eye on the money. (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 & oppressed. But 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, a harkener back to olden days of more simpler and more "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 effort, but is never showy or ostentatious. "Conspicuous consumption" is not this native's style, unless there are more "showcase" graha, in Simha or the Phalguni nakshatras, within the nativity. 

An intentionally modest lifestyle and appearance due to affinity with the common worker; yet the native also feels a need for sensual pleasures and material comfort (Shukra), which can result in conflicted relationships with beauty, money, and women.

Issues with jealousy. Tendency toward envy of others who "have it easier". Others also express envy toward the native, criticizing the native's unglamorous but steady progress toward material success. True feelings may be effectively masked 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.
