Re: Celebrating The Combustion of Saturn...
Dear Hari, However in your case, Chandra lagna is placed precariously since it’s in a M.B. degree. If ever the Moon has acted malevolently in your life, it’s because of its placement in Mrityu Bhaga and within the fateful Trimsamsa degree.
No doubt parivarthana yoga occurs between Shani and Chandra. But what is the quality of that Parivarthana yoga? What is the quality of a Parivarthana between the 2nd and 8th lords? I shall leave that answer to your imagination
Dear Astroboyji
I appreciate your time for commenting on my chart. I have only gone through a few beginner level books and this is the first time I'm reading about MB. However I found another thread elsewhere in LOVA in which you mentioned about MB in detail. That probably explains two incidents in my earlier Moon AD in my Rahu Dasha, when I would have drowned in the sea, but for the timely rescue by friends. I was all along attributing it to basic maleficity of Moon as the 8th lord to Sg lagna.
3 words that will answer your question - "Your own Ego" .Its left to you to go one rung down. But in your case, unknown to you, Its a tough task. Kuja is in the 10th house. The 10th is exalted. Chandra is in Dhanista Nakshatra Ruled by Kuja, Kuja is in Hasta Ruled by Chandra. The Ego comes from Ravi who is strong in Shad Bala. Ravi being the 9th lord and being debilitated in the D9 creates all sorts of troubles for you.
You are right, that in many situations my own ego has acted to my detriment. However in my estimation, Saturn in the 8th and the parivartana you pointed out has ensured that I get enough hits in life to deflate my ego & make me well grounded, if not even depressed. In those situations in my career, I tend to display a certain ego due to the position I occupy or rather is "thrust on me". As the position does not benefit from a person who is a push over. I am not good in a managerial capacity, rather I have worked well only when alone..and especially in any kind of research work. But the problem is that my past experience tends to disqualify me and I too have an natural fear of change (again, probably, due to 3rd lord Saturn in 8th).
