Radix Moon in Shatataraka = "thousand healings" - moody & mystical 

(Shani-Rahu-Varuna)

Amazing healers who are immersed in the ocean of visionary perception. Usually a highly eccentric personality. Huge electrified aura.

Famous place for physicians and surgeons. Practitioners and purveyors of poison dosing (Rahu) which can act as medicine, and of yogic austerities including fasting (Shani) which can cure disease

Usually very charismatic, with a remarkable ability to charm the public. Shamanistic power to connect psychically with large & diverse crowds of people or vast terrains of the spiritual world. 

Visionary understanding of the interconnected cosmos. Reputation includes skill in varieties of seduction, fraud, magic, and gambling.

Shani-Rahu is a very difficult combination, and these peculiar folk  can be difficult to live with. Their reclusive, moody sensitivity and struggle to articulate their bridge-between-life-and-death ideas does not ease their path into conventional society.

They know what they know through intuition and psychic conviction. Shatataraka can practice their spiritual truth, but may struggle to explain to others and ultimately fail in communication due to the limits of the conventional worldview . 

Marital troubles due to restless moodiness. These natives need to connect with the common people, who love them. If one is allowed daily contact with the crowds, all will settle and be well. 

Sometimes an obsession with cleanliness & body functions. (Would rather not be trapped in a body.)

• Deep emotional need to Cross Over

Trauma profile:

Trauma profile = "circuit-breaker"

Sata-bhisa's psycho-emotional condition is initiated in the current life, by the native's profound attachment to a loved one - most often, the mother - who is lost early, by abandonment or untimely death. 

• Attachment can be to one's lost child or sibling also, and abandonment can be mental illness-caused as well as physical.

The trauma-healing instinct creates a deep longing to generates "shoots" which cross over (like a ferryman, or a lotus shoot). 

Satabisa experiences a lifetime of seeking bridges into the unknown. As a result one may be plunged into distant moodiness or mystical revelry, a good part of the time.

Navamsha Moon in Shatataraka (intimate relationships).

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

Under emotional stress in relationships, Shatataraka navamsha Chandra can evoke the native's inner fear of loss of constant movement. 

Reactions to this fear of losing core vitality include compulsive drumming, dancing, party-going and traveling in moving groups, in order to keep the movement alive.
