• [Chandra in Pūrvāṣāḍhā - Apah] calmed by valued beliefs * protectors of inspirational beauty * soothed by divine music * needs philosophical harmony

Chandra in Pūrvāṣāḍhā - Apah = Early Victory

After an amazingly powerful early start, tends toward less achievement in the mid-career, then a second burst in later life depending on longevity. Excellent support for the relationship-building element of political careers as well as the musical and artistic elements of entertainment or fashion careers.

However, all nakshatra of Shukra can grant good relationships skills, and the native is usually well-liked throughout life.

Many complexities arise from the incommensurability of woman-as-Mother [Chandra] vs. woman-as-lover-partner [Shukra]. For the wife-persona, negotiating these two roles offers a growth-challenge. For the husband-persona, responding to these two roles offers a growth-challenge.

Negotiation of contract imbalance-seeking-a-remedy with wealth-vs-patriotism in Pūrvāṣāḍhā may arise from the adversarial relationship between Guru the Teacher of the Deities - vs - Shukra the Teacher of the Demons when Chandra yuti Guru

Delusion in the Deluge

Sweet success [Shukra] comes to one easily and often on a very broad scale [Guru].

yet Shukra-Guru influence upon Pūrvāṣāḍhā Soma contains significant potential for self-deception and delusion .

Sensually luxurious Shukra = the great deceiver! Ultimately one may become absorbed into sensual overload. This can even happen in meditation and prayer of a particularly sensual type, especially adoration of the deity as love partner.

• One may become addicted to the pleasures [Shukra] of religious satisfaction (Shukra-Guru), believing that a human (oneself) is so attractive to the higher powers that one has negotiated an equal relationship with the divine.

Pūrvāṣāḍhā Soma is called to one's vocation Early in Life usually with several remarkable Early Successes , which raise the confidence high and give Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra a confirming experience of being Valuable and Attractive

• POTUS-15 Oregon Treaty 1791-1868 James Buchanan. JB was a hardworking and productive young USA Congressional Representative , then Senator, and a European diplomat on three assignments (Russia, UK, SecyState). JB built a strong reputation as an able negotiator and legislator. Sadly, his performance was increasing limited after his forties. By the onset of Shani Mahadasha (JB age 61) he was disengaged and contradictory while the Civil War fomented around him. Most historians consider JB to have been the worst American president.

Prone to sensual permissiveness [Shukra + Guru] and not feeling undue limitation on tastes, one may accept corruption or indulgence as a smooth path of career. May prefer to beautify the surroundings or develop pleasant relationships, rather than tackle any major projects.

• POTUS-21 Civil Service 1829-1886 Chester A. Arthur was a top functionary of the extortion-driven machine politics of 1860's-1870's New York. [bargaining-contractual Pūrvāṣāḍhā-3] [9, patronage]

• Following the assassination of POTUS-20 James Garfield, CAA was named POTUS-21. Arthur is often listed as most forgotten president because he initiated no projects during his term.

• Suffering kidney disease [Shukra] CAA focused on redecorating the Whitehouse public rooms [Shukra decorate] Despite having once led a luxury lifestyle via the Port of New York extortion system, CAA did not block the Congressional shut-down of his old machine bosses. He tread water for the rest of the term.

Ultimate life-principle belief [Guru] skewed by immediate sensual gratification [Shukra]

Inclusive [Guru] vs. exclusive [Shukra]

Ideology can get twisted when inclusive and compassionate Guru must express His will through the auspice of Brihaspati's enemy, pleasure-and-treasure seeking Shukra.

Guru's expansive, tolerant proliferation of enlivened forms tends to create many varieties

Shukra's designing, financially balancing, architectually harmonious style is appalled at Brihaspati's joyously ungracious Big Mess.

Successful as these folk often are, there is nearly always some issue of beauty-vs-belief. Shukra's requirement for sensually satisfying form can easily become social exclusiveness, and Shukra can perceive Guru's inclusivenss as unaesthetically messy excess. Also financially spread-too-thin.

• Pucci Prints 1914-1992 fashion Emilio Pucci built an international fashion empire using his trademarked artistic designs [Shukra]. EPP's commercial success [Mriga lagna] tended to overshadow his earlier fascist-nativist activism. EPP advocated [Shukra] the purging of unaesthetic cultural diversity [Guru] and replacement with // pure // native-Italian wealth-and-beauty culture. A vigorous supporter of Benito Mussolini in his youth, EPP did

Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra often sound as if they know what they're talking about; many in the audience are convinced.

• Liberia-Pres 1938- Ellen Johnson Sirleaf * using her reputation as a financial professional with decades of experience in banking [Shukra] President Ellen Johnson was able to negotiate [Shukra] loan forgiveness for her overburdened nation

Shukra = daityaguru, teacher of the demons.

Shukra seduces Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra toward indulgence in the drugs of sensual experience and self-satisfaction.

To convince Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra that one is the path and the proof of unassailable righteousness, Professor Bright Beautiful Bhrigu may utilize Guru's paradigm of belief including great truths and guidance by doctrinal principles.

Without sufficient consciousness, the Pūrvāṣāḍhā native may become a victim of this confusion between human-to-human shared agreements versus the patterns which guide divine-to-human alignment.

Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra enjoys a feeling of accomplishment. There is pleasure [Shukra] in believing [Guru] that one's early victories in life, which have brought luxury [Shukra] and expansion [Guru], are "proof" of the righteousness of one's pathr.

If the supporting graha are indeed less benevolent, one may sink deeper and deeper into addiction to the feeling of self-righteous satisfaction, particularly in matters of ideological doctrine [Dhanus].

It is possible for the Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra, supported by two contradictory benefics (Guru and Shukra) to achieve a sensually driven emotional addiction to self-justification.

As one Chosen to the Special Facilitator between the people and the Divine, or between the people and Celebrities, one may treat others - one's spouse and children, one's community, one's nation or the world -- with any degree of dehumanizing disregard .

When criticism, contradiction, principled disagreement, or other antidotes to the emotional drug of divinely approved self-satisfaction come along, Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra may reject the humanity of others .

• There is risk of extreme isolation from any source of realistic, correcting input that might disturb the righteous-pleasure state.

It is easy for Pūrvāṣāḍhā to dance merrily down the path of dehumanizing self-righteousness, while believing that one has been granted some sort of divine privilege, based on early victories .

POTUS-pair-41 + POTUS-43 mother 1925-2018 Barbara Pierce Bush [Pūrvāṣāḍhā-3] [Somana-yuti-Guru] parochialism gains [dikbala] in [svabhava] as the [friendly-gainful vriddhi-pati] for her Kanya nativity.

Mrs. Bush exemplifies the padded self-protective buffering which occurs when a person surrounds oneself only with those who believe in one's inherent priesthood and who will approach only in a state of worship.

During a long period in the public eye, as the wife and mother of two presidents and two state governors, BPB earned some negative press for her apparent disinterest in charity work. Explicitly preferring to reserve her service for her own family, BPB declined to participate in the charitable ministries that are usually undertaken by the wives of elite public servants in the USA.

Though she was fiercely dedicated to the welfare of her own kith and kin [Chandra-4], and married to a very financially privileged man who could certainly subsidize any potential charitable labors, the comfortably insulated world of BPB was apparently sufficient.

Perhaps her most notoriously insulated comment, spanning 40 years in public life, was made when she was asked on television about the human cost of death, injury, and trauma in war. At the time of the question, her son George W. Bush was mounting the violent USA invasion of Iraq.

"why should we hear about body bags, and deaths ... and how many ... it's not relevant ... why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?" March 2003

BPB's parochialism and emotional insulation is increased by Chandra yuti expansive svakshetra Guru-4; also her Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Soma receives graha-drishti from active Kuja, luxurious Shukra, and dignified Shanir.

Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra may resist any change of course on their destined movement toward the Source. Faced with a growth-challenge, this one cannot easily change strategy or tactic; but Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra will never give up the pursuit of the goal.

One achieves "early victory" through being in the right place at the right time to take skillful advantage of a grassroots social movement, a sudden marriage or business Opportunity , or a sea-change in public tastes. The early advantage is generally maintained throughout life.

When the teachings of Professor Chandra-in-Pūrvāṣāḍhā are subject to prolonged repetition of the key structural elements of the learning pathway (which are in reality multiple opportunities for accepting of gifts of understanding) Usually, via constrictive drishti. The results may include manifestation of religious fundamentalists, ideologues, and tyrants. Pursuit of personal aggrandizement often manifests as a lack of compassion for others.

When supported by friendly effects , Pūrvāṣāḍhā Moon gives the power to sustain religious vows, and stay loyal to fundamental principle in any undertaking.

The key to success with Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra is, indeed, to choose one's commitments carefully . Because after making the first, early commitment, one will be emotionally unable to change course for the rest of one's lifer.

Should one's initial viewpoint turn out to have been wrong, Pūrvāṣāḍhā moon will die trying. , hoist by one's own petard, caught in his own web, and goes down with the ship.

Yet: when steady, loyal commitment to an early-life vow, or a simplistic, one-size-fits-all ideological solution to a complex human problem, are the keys to success, one will achieve the pinnacle.

Positive traits include personal determination, work ethic, fierce loyalty to a person or a cause, and unshakable commitment to reach the goal regardless of its validity .

May be tremendous supporters of religious institutions, ideologies, and fundamental moral principles, especially in a dogmatic formr.

Negative traits are more famous for Pūrvāṣāḍhā.

• Considerable planned misalignments requiring realignment attention in accepting professional and collegial advice from those holding a higher viewpoint.

• Associated with constitutional stubbornness , and abuse of relatives including incest and embezzlement of family funds.

• For Pūrvāṣāḍhā, the ends may justify the means.

Pūrvāṣāḍhā natives are born into a narrative of pleasure-and-treasure-accumulation [Shukra]. Prefering to experience the sensual pleasure of valuable goods and conserved knowledge, they keep that script of cherished wealth close to their emotional hearts throughout life. The script is diversified by the application of Shukra's sensual talents to the tasks of logical argumentation (6) possibly exploitation and accusations (6) and the practice medicine (6). Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra is often drawn into exploitive (6) situations which are nonetheless quite profitable (11).

• The devotees of Tantra 1931-1990 professor Osho Rajneesh + [Pūrvāṣāḍhā-2]] [Kuja-yuti-Shani] + [Shukra-yuti-Budha] [chandra-Dhanus-1 parivartamsha Guru-Karkata-8] Devotees were asked (by OSHO's managers) to sell all of their property and give the proceeds to the commune. The faithfulthen worked long hours without pay.

The mother would have been especially concerned with matters of complaints and litigation (6) medicine and drugs (6) disappointed promises within relationships (6) as well as obtainment of earnings and income in the marketplace (11). Meeting material goals, especially financial ones [Shukra] would have been important to her. Due to Shukra's influence she would have been thinking about her own attractiveness, worthiness, and beauty. All of these concerns remain part of Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra 's psychic narrative throughout life.

If Chandra is yuti Shukra Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra the mother indulges the Purvaphalguni child in sweets and treats; which spoils the child for life. Being spoiled does not harm the career and may in fact enhance it, as one will work hard for the luxuries. However, the entitlement to sweet treats becomes unshakable when Chandra + Shukra, especially in a nakshatra of Shukra.

Indic = Sita Asoka

As with all the Shukra-ruled nakshatra (Bharani, Purvaphalguni, Pūrvāṣāḍhā) this one is a collector and hoarder; therefore treasury [Shukra] is usually abundant (rashi of Guru).

Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra enjoys a natural affinity for the broad study [Dhanus] of fine arts and design

• Devdas 1973- drama-fashion Aishwarya Rai + [Mūla-Shukra-yuti-Rahu-Mula] (3, photographs)

[Shukra] and global [Guru] diplomacy [Shukra].

Religious art (Dhanus-Shukra) is a particularly engaging study for one, and if other graha support significant wealth Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra may attract (Chandra-Shukra) to oneself a substantial collection of beautiful and valuable religiously themed works of art.

the mother feels a need for relationships which deliver religious-ideological validation

She may place orthodoxy above nurturing.

• Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra will be comfortable within relationships with ideologues, high-priests, philosophical teachers, and dogmatic personalities.
• Parenting style responds to Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra 's need for priestly recognition before attending to any concerns of children.

Feminine Nativities only

• Because Guru is the kalatra-karaka for a woman's first marriage, a feminine nativity with Chandra in Pūrvāṣāḍhā may find that her priestly affinities are expressed more vividly or more publicly via her masculine partner.
• The fmasculine nativity tends to be a loyal and unquestioning spouse, unswervingly committed to her husband's programme.

Trauma pattern

Navamsha Chandra in Pūrvāṣāḍhā - Apah

mirroring function of intimate emotional relationships

• [Chandra in Pūrvāṣāḍhā - Apah] calmed by valued beliefs * protectors of inspirational beauty * needs philosophical harmony

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

Under emotional stress within relationships, one with navamsha Chandra in Pūrvāṣāḍhā can experience anxiety reactions that manifest as compulsive merging and clinging And obsessive repetition of claims based on vows or statements of commitment from the past.

Navamsha Chandra in Pūrvāṣāḍhā indicates a deep resistance to "mid-course corrections " in one's own psyche, which if personally unacknowledged must be expressed through the partner's actions.

The partner needs clear sense of direction in the relationship, and a simple set of working principles or vows to ground the commitment.

The partner cannot handle too much complexity and the partner may be unable to adapt or change one's life strategy if and when life circumstances require adaptive change.

Partner is hard-working, mono-focused, typically quite beautiful (Guru-Shukra) typically with lovely eyes.

Depending on the Nakshatra of Pūrvāṣāḍhā-Chandra 's Janma-Chandra, the partner's emotional resistance to change may be a source of conflict and eventually separation in a relationship.

Due to its sense of merging and flowing toward a fixed destination, Pūrvāṣāḍhā Nakshatra is a good place for sustaining vows and partner commitments, but excessively rigid or legalistic interpretation of the early promises can cause resentment along the path of spiritual growth. It is good to introduce more compassion into the ongoing interpretation of early promises, if humanly possible.
