Public Figures

Karkata specializes in roots, ruts, rhythms and routines.

  • If the rising nakshatra is Punarvasu-Aditya pada-4, a natural philosopher may show the conflicts inherent in humanity's deepest roots.

  • If Pushya- Sidhya marks the rising nakshatra, the ancient lawful governance hierarchies are stabilized and sustained.

  • Azlesa-Naga radical lagna may produce a significant writer, messenger, or craftsman who binds the psycho-mental turmoil to a fixed and grounded place.

Punarvasu = ruled by Guru the Guide (Karkata Portion)

Guru's mulatrikona = Dhanuzya = 6th counted from Karkata

A remarkably expansive worldview, yet often conflicted, hypocritical actions due to the 6th-from angle exacerbating the unfriendly view of Brihaspati toward Earth-anchor Chandra.

High-minded tenets, philosophical principles, ideology, catechesis, and theory (Guru). Paradigmatic viewpoint toward homes and housekeeping, schooling, nourishment, security, patriotism, and protection of the root culture.

Grounded into the place of settlement and may express the inbred conflicts of one's people. Expression of the philosophy tends to produce 6th-from results such as

  • customary inequity
  • routinely unfair agreements
  • adversarial parenting
  • emotional illness
  • liquid addiction
  • patriotic war
  • ethnic accusations
  • habitual blaming
  • treason - treachery - betrayal
  • aggrieved divorce
  • insecure ministries of service
  • abusive medical care
  • protected servitude
  • caretaking injustice
  • unbalanced domestic pairs
  • household crime
  • dominant-subordinate relationships
  • master-slave alliance

Punavasu-4 is a curious and unique individual pada which is often characterized by local-scale (Chandra) exploitation of marginalized subjects, conflict, betrayal, treachery, or crime -- along with global-scale (Guru) humanistic viewpoints expanding the higher principles of theory, wisdom, and paradigms of belief.

***

Pushya the Hierophant = ruled by Shani the Regulator

***

Azlesa = ruled by Budha the Announcer

Budha's mulatrikona = Kanya bhava-3 =

Properties of Karkata Rashi

Parashara says:

"[They] have a heavy body, slender limbs and powerful claws.

The persons with this Lagna are changeable like the Moon, the lord of this lagna.

  • They are timid at one time and courageous at other time.

In public life, they are generally successful and are also able to achieve honors and wealth.

  • They are fond of home and family comforts.

  • The married life of persons of this lagna is generally unhappy."

BPHS Ch. 4, 10-11

"The Rashi Karkata is pale-red.

  • It resorts to forests and represents Brahmins.
  • It is strong in nights.
  • It has many feet ( it is a centipede Rashi) and has a bulky body.
  • It is Sattvic in disposition (seen in gods) and it is a watery Rashi.
  • It rises with its back and is ruled by Chandra."

T. Subba Row. (1881)."The Twelve Signs of the Zodiac" in Five Years of Theosophy. George Robert Snow Mead (ed.). London. (1885, 1894).

"Mystical, Philosophical, Theosophical, Historical and Scientific Essays Selected from"The Theosophist". Available at www.gutenberg.org

"IV. Karkataka

When the syllables are converted into the corresponding numbers, according to the general mode of transmutation so often alluded to in Mantra Shastra, the word in question will be represented by ////.

This sign then is evidently intended to represent the sacred Tetragram; the Parabrahma-dharaka;

the Pranava resolved into four separate entities corresponding to its four Matras;

  • the four Avasthas indicated by Jagrata (waking) Avastha, Swapna (dreaming) Avastha, Sushupti (deep sleep) Avastha, and Turiya (the last stage, , Nirvana) Avastha (as yet in potentiality);
  • the four states of Brahma called Vaiswanara, Taijasa (or Hiranyagarbha), Pragna, and Iswara, and represented by Brahma, Vishna, Maheswara, and Sadasiva;
  • the four aspects of Parabrahma, as Sthula (gross), Sukshma (subtle), Vija (seed), and Sakshi (witness);

  • the four stages or conditions of the Sacred Word , named Para, Pasyanti, Madhyama and Vaikhari; Nadam, Bindu, Sakti and Kala.

This sign completes the first quaternary."

Financial Bhava for Karkata Lagna
  1. Surya-ruled Simha Bhava-2 savings, conservation, capitalization, family assets, banking, treasure-chest, mani (jewels) animal herds, seeds, mobile valuables
  2. Mangala-ruled Vrischika Bhava-5 gambling, stock market, casino, venture capitalism
  3. Guru-ruled Meena Bhava-9 * dharmic perspective grants awareness of resources without the need to earn, save, insure, or gamble.
  4. Zukra-ruled Vrishabha Bhava-11 * profits, earnings, rents, royalties, dividends, bonus, commission, paycheck, salary, marketplace revenues, income, gain of social - material goals

Career * profession public reputation vocation

Although the 10th navamsha and its ruler must be considered in any profile of career, generally most Karkata nativities have some career pattern that matches Mesha themes of independent action, animal nature, innovation, invention, initiative, competition, championship, combustibility, engineering, engines, ingenuity, movement, dynamism, energetics, warriorship, blood, muscle, pushing, new birth, new starts, embodiment and the fleshbody.

Mangala must be located and assessed in order to begin the career profile.

However other factors are also important in identifying the main leadership and public duty roster.

  • It cannot be overemphasized that the 10th navamsha and the behavior of the ruler of the 10th navamsha within the radix are also leading predictors. The factors of career must be synthesized to produce a prediction.

Nevertheless, a broad tendency for Mesha natives is to drive (Mesha) careers in novel, pioneering, energy-pushing areas that contain leadership duties designed to maintain the social order (10).

Women

Mangala representing testosterone and male thrusting energy in general, female Karkata nativities may be challenged to promote their careers in male-dominated Mesha environments. Certain professions are generally more welcoming of Karkata women, such as muscular careers in dance or fashion modeling, or certain types of active military or engineering positions.

Patterns of Bhava-10 Profession

Careers in Mangala-related industry are most probable for the Karkata nativity. It is important to assess the rashi-bhava-drishti situation of Professor Kuja to fine-tune any predictions.

Mangala-ruled karmasthana-10 may favor careers in fuels and engines, energy and propulsion. Karkata folk can be influential leaders in newly identified areas and are often found governing energy-product hierarchies.

  • POTUS-43 Decision Points 1946- George W. Bush * Pushya * social structure his leadership in oil-driven Texas was followed by a presidency favoring the petroleum oligarchy. His family's energy-product involvement is legendary.

  • Franc-Pres 1977- financier Emmanuel Macron * Chandra-10 parivartamsha nichha-Kuja-1 * Macron advocates development of new fuels, and invited global scientists to live in France while they are working on new energy resources

Combining the Karkata-lagna impetus toward defense of the root-culture and protection of the boundaries of the place of settlement, Mesha-ruled karmasthana is particularly inclined toward maritime (Karkata) military weaponry (Mesha) and defense careers. Success in military invasion, forceful explorations, weaponry, engineering, surgical tools, driving, diving, drilling, plumbing, plowing, hunting, excavating, explosives.

Karkata nativities also lead in Mangala-related fields such as start-ups, inventions, dynamic social change initiatives, and the institutional governance of these sectors.

Mangala also produces new ideas at the conceptual level. Thus professional scientists, literary writers producing a surprising new view of human nature, and other innovators of culture may be found with Karkata lagna. Most (but not all) of the ingenious writers have Azlesa lagna.

  • POTUS-03 Declaration of Independence 1743-1826 Thomas Jefferson * Punarvasu (philosophy, doctrine)

BPl commentary

Generally, Karkata folk are the guardians of the Earth. Even the syllable 'ea' means water (in the Annunaki tongue from which the name Earth is derived). The

Chandra-ruled Karkata nativities are typically very sensitive to matters of security and protection, which makes them distinctively patriotic and boundary-conscious; disliking of change; deeply attached to the comfortable habits; loyal to the parents; and defensive of the cultural roots.

Schooling, Securing, Shielding, Sheltering and Sustaining

Patriotism, Protectionism, Parenting, Policing

They are the gardeners, the defenders, protectors of the vulnerable, the water-and-irrigation managers, the parental caretakers, the police, the patriots, the sheltering and nourishing security specialists. Easily respond to any call to defense of the land and its denizens (animals too); yet rarely offensive. They prefer the quiet routines of life in the place of origin.

Deeply parental in attitude, they are localists by nature, environmentalists, farmers and fisher-folk, profoundly attuned to the rhythms of the seasons, the ocean tides, and the soothingly predictable cycles of family life. Their roots go deep into the place of settlement.

Often, the first lifepartner can be chronologically elder to the native. Shani rules Time.

  • On Golden Pond 1937- drama-fitness Jane Fonda first marriage to the Paris-based film director Roger Vadim Plemiannikov. Vadim born in 1928 was nine years elder to JSF born in 1937.

General Suitability of Gems for Karkata Lagna

  2. Chandra ratna = yes! because Chandra = the auspicious lagnesha

  3. Mangala ratna = yes - because Yogakaraka Mangala = vidyapathi-5 and karmesha-10

  4. Budha ratna = no-no-no because Budha rules 3 and 12

Lagnesha Chandra

  • personality Identifies with Mother - Parents

 Nativity = Karkata lagna or Karkata Chandra = strongly identified with the parents, particularly the mother, and with the social behaviors of parenting.

One may be socially most comfortable in the parenting role and in company of other parents, and may prefer the social environments of traditional, intuitive habitual non-literate cultures.

Karkata natives are typically very patriotic, but not in a separative or warlike way. Rather, they see the family as the basis of all society (rather than the economy, or government, or religion, or education).

Comfortable on the sea and naturally fitted to the mariner's lifestyle.

  • UK-Prince Consort 1921- Philip Mountbatten served in the British Navy in a variety of roles during most of his life. With Chandra-Karkata rising in the Karkata radical lagna, Philip loved the sea-going life.

A highly developed Chandra (Mighty Heart 1975- drama-activist Angelina Jolie ) may carry this family-basis sensibility to the highest ranks of world culture, but the native will typically define oneself not according to the rank but according to the in-common role of mother or father.

For Karkata lagna, the character, placement, drishti re: impressionable, moody lagnesha Chandra will determine the conditions of emotional satisfaction.

  • Mighty Heart 1975- drama-activist Angelina Jolie while enjoying very public, high visibility careers, is a mothers to a large family and shares a public profile of preferring the mother role to other social duties.

The Weird Nodal Bhava Pair for Karkata Lagna: bhava-5 and bhava-8

The pair of domains which are afflicted by association with the trinity : Rahu-Ketu and Shani and Mangala.

These are the two domains which are controlled respectively by

  • Vrizchika co-ruled by Professor Mangala and his co-ruler Professor Ketu

  • Kumbha* Professor Shani co-rules with Professor Rahu

Conditions involving (5) divine creativity (including children and wealth from speculation) configured with one's in-laws (8) and the shared wealth of marriage (particularly indicates inheritances) are likely to be highly complex, drawn out, conflicted, and psychologically challenging.

Raja Yoga for Karkata lagna

Chandra + Mangala-Karkata lagna

  • An exchange of Rashi between Karma's Lord and Lagna's Lord will make the native associated with the king in a great manner. ~~ BPHS, Ch. 40, Sl. 13

  • If the lord of the Lagna and the 10th exchange houses with each other then they form a Raja Yoga. They will confer high position, reputation and power. ~~ BPHS, Ch. 5, Sl. 41

Special yoga conditions for Karkata lagna =

from B.V. Raman, Three Hundred Important Combinations =

16.Vesi Yoga - Subha-vesi

Definition:

  • If planets other than the Moon occupy the 2nd from the Sun, Vesi Yoga is formed.

  • Results: The person will be fortunate, happy, virtuous, famous and aristocratic.

Remarks:

  • ... If the Sun is exalted, Lagna being Cancer and Subhavesi is caused by the presence of Venus in Taurus and both the Sun and Venus are inherently strong, then in spite of the fact that both the Sun and Venus are natural enemies the Yoga becomes supremely powerful and almost all the good results attributed to it would find full play when the Dasa and Bhukthi of the two planets operate.

  • Obviously, if more than one planet causes the Yoga, one of the planets being a malefic, say Saturn, the good influences have to be sufficiently moderated."
