scientific and scientistic aesthetic

abstract connections between conceptual ideas

electronics, very large marketplace assemblies, big groups such as political rallies

The pleasure-connector. Aesthetic of community.

Shukra is a yogakaraka from Kumbha indriya-lagna , and Shukra benefits from hospitality of the ruler in rashi of planetary friend Shani.

Likes large group movements, huge assemblies, and marketplace relationships.

  • Russ 1870-1924 Bolshevik Vladimir Ulyanov Lenin [asset-containing Shukra occupies financial Purvabhadra-2] [ātmakāraka ] Lenin was trained as a lawyer [7]. His goal was to revolutionize the stagnant, oppressively classist economy of feudal Russia. As soon as he assumed leadership [Shukra rules 10] he rewrote the property laws [Shukra-7 rules-3 rewriting] transferring all assets to the State. VUL liked the crowds [Kumbha-Shukra] He organized huge collectivist rallies while networking with revolutionary peers [7] across Europe

Enjoys high-visibility leadership positions within networked social movements.

However Kumbha is a network that has no center, therefore, one prefers to create more linkages rather than taking a commanding role.

EXAMPLE

de Mundi Systemate 1643-1727 Isaac Newton [Guru-yuti-Shukra] -Kumbha-1. Shani-2 ruler of Kumbha enjoys parivartamsha with Guru-1.

  • After a childhood in lack, iN eventually became rich, famous, and widely admired for his mathematical formulations. He enjoyed membership in a large international network of friendly fellow scientists, who shared discoveries and critiqued publications. IN did have a tyrannical side, which was more due to his Arudra-5-Chandra. Yet, during IN's presidency, the shared-idea system of the Royal Society's social-and-conceptual network flourished.

Tends to take a network view of relationships as being infinitely interconnected, across time and space. The conventional model for interpersonal partnership as strictly one-to-one may seem scientifically unsupportable.

  • Result: superb networker, often an advanced understanding of Time, but not necessarily monogamous

Males in particular appreciate the partner who is a principled social activist with many connections

Prefers to contextualized the marriage into a larger universal process of advancing social opportunity for large group.

The lover-partner should have a populist appearance and interests, or be engaged with large-scale fundraising, economic opportunity schemes, or social participation movements.

Shukra-Kumbha enjoys beautiful ankles and calves; a balanced nervous system; but Shukra is influenced by graha yuti ++ drishti

  • POTUS-pair-37 Watergate 1912-1993 Pat Ryan Nixon [secretive-erupting Dhaniṣṭha-4] [Dhaniṣṭha-Shukra-yuti-Chandra-Varuna] [sweetening Shukra in secretive Dhaniṣṭha-4 PRN had a very pale complexion, clay-color due to Chandra.

Shukra-Kumbha is broadly lawful with a scientific sensibility. Co-ruled by Rahu, the Kumbha-Shukra may be willing to take risks in love relationships, carefully crossing taboo boundaries and experimenting with new methods of establishing balanced partnerships.

Shukra-Kumbha's relationship behavior is publically conventional [Shani] but not in the least hide-bound by class barriers; indeed "open networks "are associated with Kumbha.

No specific impropriety is suggested because Shukra = yogakaraka from Kumbha. Whatever one's personal choice of social arrangements, the public presentation remains dignified.

  • Out on a Limb 1934- drama-esoterica Shirley MacLaine [Shukra in face-voice-knowing Purvabhadra-2] [ātmakāraka ] -- [Shani-yuti-Shukra] SM remained in an open-marriage for nearly 30 years. [Also Shani in 7th-from-Chandra, longevity in marriage contracts.]

In career, an excellent position for economic negotiator, goal-setter, financial networker, and large-system designs in any field of practice.

  • POTUS-37 Watergate 1913-1994 Richard Nixon [governing-regulatory Varuna-2] [Shukra-7 parivartamsha Shani-10] During Budha Mahadasha, richard Nixon's official career collapsed. Yet, he continued developing the global diplomacy that he and Kissinger had initiated. After years of diligently building international relationships (Shukra-Kumbha-7) Nixon established unofficial, but reliable [Shani] diplomatic and financial backchannels (Shukra-7).

Typically Shukra-Kumbha enjoys the one-to-many relationships as well as one-to-one peerage * paréage. Enjoys large group functions , assemblies of those with like interests, social participation movements * So long as these are goal-oriented and lawful.

Prefers to link ideological concerns with social progress, so that marriage and business relationships are generally well-matched. The mate is often a highly effective social networker.

However, rahu is co-lord of Kumbha and when Rahu detects an opportunity for swift, clever self-elevation, shani's step-by-step lawful methods may be discarded.

In pursuit of balance and resolution of differences [Shukra] one may remain affiliated with an social movement or organization, often unwilling to give up networking potential, despite unsuitable conditions of association

Shukra-Kumbha seeks to partner [Shukra] with those who are involved in social-progressive movements; networkers and those who like large group functions; ShukraMithunaya_LadyLiberty.jpg

futurists;

those who work steadily toward goals and achievements;

those who dislike argumentation, accusations, conflict, criminalization / crime, exploitation, and servitude and divorce ( Kumbha = 6th-from-Kanya).

Sensual pleasures through the skin , nerves , touch, social progressive ideals, network s, science.

Affection for abstract visionary social concepts, especially the concept of community .

Holds a pragmatic and philosophical view of reciprocal relationships. Generally tolerant in the interpretation of marriage vows due to their high-minded viewpoint.

Normally disinclined to leave a marriage so long as there remain mutual goals and objectives to be met - for example, getting the children through college, reaching a jointly agreed financial goal, or selling a business.

Enjoys large-scale interconnected gatherings of people and ideas. Cosmic scale of appreciation.

  • Genesis 1951- songwriter drummer Phil Collins [secretive-revealing Dhaniṣṭha-4] [Shukra-yuti-Rahu] + [Guru-yuti-Kuja] decades of widely popular massive audience size, musical concert tours [12, dreamworld performances, Kumbha vast crowds]

Pleasured by enormous festivals such as Kumbha Mela, where a tangible group vibration arises. Aesthetic of mass-participation, stadium-scale public events, political rallies, science fiction, futuristic design, eccentric behavior, and individual freedom of thought.

Artistic attraction to electrical networks. Likes to sketch on graph paper and design electronic machines.

Loves large crowds and social-participation gatherings = aesthetic taste for social design (or re-design)

Attracted to partners who are a little nutty, with eccentric lifestyles, who like cosmic-scale events, sweeping future vision of a restructured egalitarian society, but enough social steadiness to guard the native against ostracism or failure. Likes a stable partnership within context of many interconnected networks of friendship.

  • Eccentric, egalitarian marriage practices.

  • Desires a philosophical, visionary spouse with networked, futuristic lifestyle and community development values.

Practice visionary lifestyles. Buy them eccentric clothing, and protect them from material uncertainty so their minds can range free. And be philosophical yourself! Praise their open-mindedness, concern for the group, naeutrality, and future vision of a beautiful new world.
