Cancer Lagna

Cancer in the Lagna in general gives a pleasing appearance to the native who is amiable in
disposition, soft in speech and also has an admirable quality of feeling at home in almost
every situation. However, a cancer-born does not really enjoy any situation. He may capture
the object of his desire but sex alone cannot satisfy him. The native is fond of good food and
luxurious living. He may possess material riches and luxuries but pine for something else;
even spiritual attainments and realization seem no consequence. Either he longs for the past
or for that which is not yet in his possession. His attitude towards life and parameters of his
emotions and thoughts are always changing so nothing can hold his attention for long. As
long as love is bestowed upon him he will react with the greatest sincerity, but once that
situation of warmth and is removed he becomes miserable, just as if life-force had been
drained out from him.

Basically the Cancer native is materialistic in his approach to life, but he is capable of
attaining great heights in spiritual practices. He can rise to sublime heights or even sink into
gross materialism. He may even withdraw from the mainstream of life, actively pursuing his
ethereal interests in seclusion, although he seems to be deeply engrossed in his earthly
profession. As a Cancer-born the native always shines subject to condition that he must hold
on to someone higher, mightier, wealthier, more learned and more respected, through whose
support and patronage he can express his own qualities. In the absence of such influence he
seems hopeless and made of straw. Moreover, given the opportunity, to explain abstruse
philosophical thoughts he can reel out poetry to express them beautifully.

For a Cancer born emotional excitement, aggressive designs and pursuit of self-exaggeration
often leads to destruction. His greatest trouble comes from Saturn (the planet of restriction) –
whenever any situation arises which impedes his natural growth and blossoming he gets
entangled in an inextricable knot. Something done in a hurry, prohibited by the society and
performed to derive some mean favour often becomes a stumbling block causing life-long
sorrow to the native. Whatever happens in a life, he is unable to express his innermost
feelings and thoughts, or to live a completely natural life. For Cancer natives, Venus (4/11L)
and Mercury (3/12L) produce adverse effects. Whereas, Moon, Mars and Jupiter give
excellent results. Saturn is a killer planet but the Sun in auspicious houses gives much
happiness.

The SUN in, the Ascendant creates an individual who is wealthy and has a powerful
personality. He becomes opinionated, always thinking that he can do no wrong. He is
passionate but unable to establish a cooperative partnership with his spouse. He undertakes
long and weary journeys and is made to work for others.

The MOON is soothing in the Ascendant, but such an individual is often overly sensitive.
Under favorable configurations, psychic faculties are easily developed and he becomes
extremely sensitive and susceptible to the smallest changes in the physical and emotional
environment. Such a planetary position often aids in marriage, for he has the endurance to
weather any possible storms or conflicts. The health of this native needs much care as he is
susceptible to the cold and changes of weather. He is likely to suffer from phlegm and fever
(Kapha and Pitta disorders).
MERCURY is not a favorable influence for a Cancer-born person - it gives him beautiful
form but his general vitality is low. The native may experience sexual impotency or frigidity.
He arouses much hostility from his friends, siblings, and in other relationships, even with his
spouse. This individual can earn his wealth from occupations pertaining to water resources.

VENUS does not produce desirable results either. It lends a charming face and the desire to
live a luxurious life but the temperament, though timid, is arrogant. The native is socially
popular but solicits money from others. He is rarely satisfied with a stable relationship
because he is libidinous.

MARS in the Ascendant produces an exceptionally robust person who is extremely active.
He makes many sea voyages to explore new lands and to research unknown areas. He may
become a leader of armies, head of a community, or director of important national or
international ventures. He will be attractive to the opposite sex and impulsive in character,
often falling prey to sexual intrigues. Whatever happens to him externally, he is never at
peace within, and burns up with his own intensity.

JUPITER rising shapes an individual who receives great honor from the government, is
considered immensely learned, and is much respected for his character and advice. He is
religious, philanthropical, and lucky. The native does well in his profession, though service
careers are not always smooth.

SATURN in the same position will give the opposite result. The native may be poor,
miserable, bereft of good family relations and troubled in his career. He suffers from nervous
exhaustion, and may lose his teeth early. There is a possibility he may develop serious
spiritual interests.

RAHU in Cancer gives may well be both libidinous and depressive. There is a tendency to
conceal actions, emotions and thoughts; such an individual is often deceitful. He champions
the cause of criminals and undesirable persons.

KETU may lead to mental conflict and emotional imbalance. Such a person needs to develop
dependability and stability.

Something extraordinary happens when Leo occupies the 2nd house. Whether he has
financial support or not is unimportant for him. What is of importance for him is he never
feels constrained in his activities due to financial restrictions. He takes up enterprises for
which he may not have adequate resources, but in the end he will complete the task with
admirable results. He earns his own money and hates to seek support of others. His speech is
balanced, careful and geared to some predetermined effect.

With the SUN in the Second house, these traits are very much accentuated. Such an individual
is a reliable support for his family. His voice will be forthright and he will have keen eyesight
His longevity will be good.

With a strong MOON in this sign, the individual becomes wealthy, religious, and a master of
pleasant conversation. He earns money from trade or on the stock exchange. He has a long life
but is surrounded by people of dubious character.

MERCURY will make a skilled conversationalist, engaged in authorship or commerce. He may

VENUS will produce very satisfying conditions of affluence. There will be much property, a
regular flow of income, pleasant company, and a respectable social status. There will, however,
be some aloofness.

Restlessness, impulsiveness, independence, and a meticulous avoidance of hypocrisy will

JUPITER in the Second house is auspicious: it produces wealth, respectability, social status,
powerful creative potential, wise behavior and great care in dealing with others. Anyone having
such a combination, however, will be confronted by hostile forces in life and will suffer from
some chronic illness. He will experience difficulties in accumulating money, though he will
never face a real shortage in this regard.

When SATURN occupies Leo in the Second house, the individual faces financial hardship. His
mind becomes irritable and his relations part company with him. He may suffer from speech
problems or poor eyesight. Saturn can inflict serious mortal blows.

RAHU will make the individual seek favors from his relations. He may suffer from diseases such
as tuberculosis.

KETU shapes the kind of philosopher who propounds Utopian theories of social relationship
while grumbling that his financial and social status is inferior to what it should be. Aspects from
Jupiter to these malefics will often improve weir results radically.

Virgo in the 3rd house gives a gentle and studious nature to the person although he may
become quite angry when provoked. Generally he is respectful to his elders, god fearing
and inclined towards righteous living but this attitude paradoxically creates many
impediments in his life.

The SUN occupying this sign will make the individual a wanderer, fond of traveling from one
place to another, meeting eminent persons and having discourses with them. People seek him out
for his advice.

The MOON also makes a traveler, but grandeur and a regal demeanor are lacking in this case.
The individual suffers from ill-health and his siblings and friends are trouble-makers. He meets
impediments in his professional career.

A literary person, having many siblings and skilled in persuasive talk, is born when MERCURY is
in Virgo in the Third house. He is renowned far and wide, is highly spiritual, and is held in high
esteem for his many virtues, especially his helpfulness to others.
VENUS in the same position will make the individual wealthy. He is fond of rich clothes and
good food. He is extravagant and religious, but his social popularity depends upon his lavish
hospitality rather than his individual merit.

When MARS occupies the Third house in Virgo, there will be interruptions in the individual's
education, his speech will be impulsive and he will be a terror to his siblings and friends. He
will be promoted unexpectedly in his job, will overcome various impediments in life, and will
become wealthy.

When JUPITER occupies the Third house in Virgo, everyone considers the individual a "good"
person who can be successfully leaned on for money. He is respected by his siblings and his
advice is sought by different people. He himself leads a pious and religious life, but his
immediate surroundings are not very congenial.

SATURN creates many kinds of difficulties. The individual feels depressed, has an interrupted
education, begets lazy children, and may develop a gloomy, frustrated outlook on life.

RAHU may produce a person who succeeds in spite of everything. He has many employees,
dresses shabbily, and is popular with the working class.

Erratic behavior can be the result of KETU in the Third house in Virgo. Such a person may have a
weak mind and will be ill-treated by others.

Libra sign in the 4th house seldom leads the native to spiritual awareness. However, it
makes the native humble, happy and wealthy and also produces pleasure, comfort and
affection in his everyday life. Further, he learns to tolerate all kinds of people and lifestyles,
and his approach to life is practical.

With the SUN in this sign the individual may become extremely selfish, but he will attempt
to convince the world otherwise. He becomes wealthy, but lacks respect from other people.

On the other hand, when the MOON occupies this sign the individual is affluent and well-
liked. He supports others, is affable, has emotional stability, and gives his total attention to
whatever he undertakes. He is happy even if he lacks the basic necessities of life.

MERCURY makes the individual intelligent, but does not provide him with the necessary
conveniences: he is surrounded by unfriendly relatives, and his health, both physical and
psychological, suffers from involvement in unethical relationships.

With VENUS occupying this sign, the life of the individual becomes extremely luxurious. He
enjoys "good things:" a pleasant house, attractive surroundings, loving relationships, and the
society of important people. He becomes some kind of leader in his community, a mayor or
city council member. Though this placement seldom leans toward spirituality, it does shape
an artist, musician, or connoisseur of the arts.

MARS enables the individual to gain much wealth and property. His children are very active
and bright and he himself will be willing to sacrifice his wealth and comfort to any cause
which arouses his sympathies. He will be devoted to religion and the elderly, and he will
have the best cars as well as the best property. He will always seem happy and joyous.

With JUPITER here, the individual will be gifted with a healing touch. Himself very
contented, he can sympathize with people in trouble and help them with his sage counsel. He
becomes affluent, learned, and much respected in his community; however, he may be
slandered by the envious.

SATURN in Libra indicates an individual with a very special purpose. He will be rich, with
an intensely penetrating outlook on life which is bound to annoy others; nevertheless he will
be much respected. His powerful sexual nature may be beyond his control; he is likely to
covet another's spouse, behave in a licentious manner, and suffer from sexual diseases in
consequence. Emotionally, he will always feel restricted and be difficult to please. His
uncompromising attitude towards life will create problems in his career.

RAHU is not much better: it makes the individual both licentious and depressive, frustrated
in life and keeping bad company. He will have setbacks in his career.

KETU leads to psychological difficulties, especially when afflicted.

Scorpio in the Fifth house does not lead to many children, but what children there are
will probably be religious and interested in high ideals. The individual with this sign in
the Fifth house is likely to be a renowned person who has succeeded in achieving his
objectives, but he invariably keeps his goals close to his heart without letting anyone share
them. He can be very cruel in attaining those objectives.

The SUN occupying this sign makes the native goal-oriented. Often these goals are deeply
spiritual, and even if he is not motivated by spirituality, he will idealize his goals to justify
any action. He seldom begets more than one son, and is likely to be cruel but famous.

The MOON in this sign attracts the individual to learned discourses and favors a good
academic career. The native's interest in spiritual matters is aroused, and so is his interest in
the psychology of people's lives.

MERCURY is considered very adverse here. It makes the individual very secretive, prying
into the private lives of others. He has an aptitude for investigative studies. Journalism, which
is a likely profession for such a person, provides special opportunities for the exercise of his
faculties, though his education is generally obstructed and he is unable to attain high
academic degrees.

VENUS makes the individual uninterested in social life. He has several children and is very
much inclined to spend his time with his family. He is respected and talented, but leads a
self-centered life.

MARS in this sign makes the individual very extroverted, interested in mechanical
engineering, technological innovation, military science and sports. He will be lascivious and
have a difficult married life, but always strive to attain something beyond his present
circumstances.
JUPITER will endow the native with a spiritual attitude, for the conditions of his life will
make him long for something which always eludes him. This unfulfilled longing often
renders him very self-centered.

SATURN in this position will create many difficulties for the individual. His acquisitive
tendencies will be thwarted and even his own closest associates will shun him. Material
deprivation and self-centeredness will eventually cause his ego to shatter, so that he must
give up his egocentric shell just to subsist in the world.

RAHU may lead the native to indulge in secret activities. Theft, smuggling, financial and
economic corruption, selling secrets, or sexual profligacy may spoil his life.

KETU, on the other hand, will turn the native's gaze heavenward. Spiritual achievements in
accord with the basic nature of the birth chart will be likely. He will live a strictly
personalized life, but will be available to others for any help needed, though in his approach
he may be very unorthodox.

Sagittarius in the Sixth house enables the individual to achieve great deeds. Such daring
enterprises are undertaken not only in the material world to acquire power and status, but also
in the religious sphere where tremendous self-control and arduous discipline are required. In
the Sixth house this sign provides an impulse whereby old karmic influences are brought to
the surface to assist the individual in carrying out his destiny. It is a very powerful force
which completely annihilates any obstructing influences and imparts to the individual only
those forces which strengthen the special faculties needed for his mission.

With the SUN in this sign, the individual is not necessarily robust. He may have fragile
health, and may suffer from indigence, a limited education, and inability to secure a powerful
career. He may undergo serious illnesses, surgery, and a disturbed emotional life. But what
the Sun in Sagittarius will do is retrieve from the karmic past the courage and perceptive
faculties which can withstand the severest spiritual trials. Under this influence, the individual
is also extremely empathic.

The MOON in this sign produces a versatile genius capable of dedicating all his strength and
power to the transformation of society. In doing so, he may suffer physical deprivations.
Excruciating pain will have to be borne, sometimes to such an extent that the personality will
seem completely dissolved. For a younger soul, unprepared for such trials, this combination
may impel the individual to waste his vital energy; cause suffering from a burning sensation
in the stomach, and create heavy debts.

MERCURY in this sign is not very helpful for social relations. It creates a hostile atmosphere
around the native. He will be accused of parochialism, bad temper, and will suffer from
financial stringency. His relations will try to damage his reputation.

VENUS causes disharmony with the mother's side of the family. Adverse comments
slandering the individual are inflicted upon him by his associates, and he may even be
accused of adultery.
MARS in this position will be very helpful by way of providing indomitable courage and
enthusiasm for overcoming one's enemies and transcending difficulties; it makes the native
very energetic. His weakness will arise from his inattention to other people's feelings, his
disrespect toward those who are in power, and excessive sexual desire.

JUPITER makes the person suffer from indigestion. He may have some disease of the
intestines. He is respected and honored by the state, but will be in debt due to his
extravagance.

SATURN makes the native specially gifted in spiritual knowledge. He is capable of arduous
religious observances. If there are supporting factors, the possibility of attaining
enlightenment is great.

RAHU makes the person very materialistic, but he succeeds in his enterprises. He tells lies
and is held in low esteem, but he gets his work done. He also attains a high social position
and a long life.

KETU in this position produces penury but favors enlightenment. There are many hostile
forces against the person; he is humiliated, scandalized, and subjected to social obloquy, but
he attains supreme detachment almost to the extent of desirelessness. The native is unique in
many ways.

When Capricorn occupies the Seventh house, the consciousness of the individual is so
susceptible to outside influences that all human relationships must be assessed according
to the planets which occupy or aspect the house. Untenanted by any planet, a Capricorn
Seventh house makes the individual vibrate to the cosmic forces which unlock his inner
potential, thus raising him to great spiritual heights.

When the SUN occupies this sign, the intellect is so turbulent that the individual will not be
sexually satisfied even with an attractive and cooperative spouse. He either has no children, or
has rebellious ones. He seeks out sexual liaisons with those who move in social circles higher
than his own.

The MOON in this sign makes the individual vulnerable to manipulation by the opposite sex, for
he is easily controlled by those whom he desires.

MERCURY in this sign inclines the individual to establish secret relationships with social
outcasts or foreigners. Such infatuations are purely physical, but they create psychological
disturbances for the native.

VENUS will enable the individual to acquire much wealth and property after marriage. The
spouse will be highly accomplished, and their social relationships will be very proper.
Together they will be able to accumulate much property.

MARS will greatly enhance the social status of the person. He will be renowned for his strength,
social relations, and his ability to help others. There may be occasions when husband and wife
have to live apart, but the marriage bond will always remain firm.

JUPITER will create disturbances in marriage. The spouse will lean towards the company of
low persons, while the native will be idealistic and try to establish a high-minded social circle.
Due to the incompatibility of the partners, there will be marital strain between them, possibly
divorce.

SATURN in this sign will make the individual wayward, but once marriage has been
contracted, there may be stability in the relationship. Such a person will earn much renown and
be held in very high esteem in his family.

RAHU makes the individual highly spiritual, possessed of a vision of the universal energy
pervading all. Traditional religious views or spiritual concepts of society and politics will be
transcended; the native will see the same divine spark in everyone.

KETU also makes the individual very philosophical.

Aquarius in the 8th House, if unaffected by any planetary influence often drives the
individual away from his home, wandering from place to place and maintaining himself
either by begging or by appropriating what belongs to others. Renouncing what rightly
belongs to him, he may work hard for a cause which leaves him indigent. The native will be
driven through the world in the quest to achieve something which is not easily attainable.

The SUN in this sign will bring a legacy and occult interests to the native. Death will occur in
old age through fever.

The MOON in this position will bring the native into contact with learned spiritual teachers
who may awaken his immense creative potential. The individual will have poor health,
suffering from weakness of the nerves and muscles; he will be easily susceptible to changes
in the weather. He will receive material and spiritual gifts from the state as well as from
elderly persons.

MERCURY in this sign will create difficulties for the native, arising from siblings and
colleagues. His marriage will be strained in some way, denying him a comfortable home life.
His father will suffer, but the individual may gain an inheritance from him, howsoever little it
may be.

VENUS will leave the individual bereft of family pleasures. His friends and associates will
be unhelpful and self-seeking. He will suffer from heart trouble and have clandestine affairs
with widowed or older partners.

MARs will also create difficulties: the native's professional life will be in jeopardy, his
children will have unexpected health problems, his father may' die suddenly, and he himself
may be involved in accidents necessitating surgery.
JUPITER in this sign will produce a spiritual individual who will understand the esoteric
significance of religious rituals; He will be immensely lucky as far as spiritual life is
concerned; he will be a teacher commanding a large number of disciples. He may enter into a
liaison with a married partner in order to achieve sexual fulfillment; he will inherit much
wealth and power. His longevity, however, may be harmed: he will be born to complete some
specific piece of work for society, and, having completed it, he will depart.

SATURN may bring unexpected loss of honor and money. The native's children often give
him much sorrow, and he himself may suffer from diseases associated with old age. .

RAHU in this sign draws the native towards the darker side of materiality and, at worst,
towards an ignoble end.

KETU will arouse supernormal consciousness, establishing direct contact with the
inhabitants of other worlds.

Unoccupied by any planet, Pisces in the 9th house produces a soul which has a special
mission to fulfill in the world. Such an individual has graceful manners, very decided
objectives in life, and much faith in the ultimate destiny of mankind. The native is guided by
the urge to help mankind and make the life of every individual better, more comfortable,
more spiritual, and happier. The method may differ- one may devote himself to sharing his
spiritual understanding, another may choose to spread his message through music while
someone else may desire to destroy what he considers ugly and against the plan of God.
Whatever method he adopts to cooperate with the spiritual forces which unfold the course of
history –whether collective or individual –the person himself will be in tune with the life –
essentials or spiritual core of the world. This is the sign under which the individual may reach
the highest level of spirituality and the acquisition of all possible Siddhis perfections.

When the SUN is in this sign, the native struggles continually to improve his personal life,
while remaining fully aware of his responsibilities to society. He often distances himself from
his siblings and relations. He pursues studies in subjects which are beyond the realm of
ordinary vision and generally succeeds in his life's mission.

The MOON in this sign not only bestows respectability, it also produces clarity of vision and
a deep, penetrating mind. The native's personal conduct is ideal; he is fully conscious of his
individuality and the need to develop its potential to the full.

MERCURY in this sign will develop the native's intellectual capacity to a very high level.
His fame spreads far and wide and he will be much sought after by his friends and
colleagues. He will be helpful, and will always have faith that his own understanding and
conclusions about things are more valid than the traditional outlook.

VENUS, being exalted in this sign, bestows very auspicious results by way of providing
status, social responsibilities, and a sound mind. The individual will be very helpful.
However, his faith in conventional religion will be shaky.

MARs in this sign is one of the most powerful planets for producing a new approach to life.
The individual always dominates, wherever he may be. His interest in earning a living will be
minimal and his entire life will be a kind of mission. He will always be creative, never
wasting a single moment, for he will always be acting consciously and purposefully at
whatever level of existence. He will succeed in externalizing many of the hidden aspects of
life. He will appear in the world suddenly and will vanish in the same way. He will be a kind
of spiritual king.

With JUPITER in this sign, the individual will be deeply committed to ancient history,
traditional religion, and the revival of spiritual culture. He will confront many difficulties,
and will succeed in the manifestation of certain memorable aspects of life. He will, however,
be involved in several mundane responsibilities, as a result of which he will have very little
time for self-improvement.

SATURN will produce an occultist who will need nothing for his sustenance. He will be
immersed in spiritual exploration and inquiry. He will succeed in retrieving many secrets of
nature. His personal life will be a mystery; isolated from society, he will join his mind with
his innermost essence, making him appear to be a kind of sleepwalker.

RAHU will make the individual a great spiritualist in the sense that he will understand the
significance of esoteric and exoteric religions. Though he himself will adhere to some
esoteric form of spirituality, he will emphasize the value of traditional religion in his dealings
with ordinary people.

With KETU in this sign, the individual loses all sectarian feelings and succeeds in acquiring
the spirit of universalism. He sees the essential reality of different faiths. In the realm of
ideas, bigotry and narrow-mindedness are eliminated. Though he will be fully aware of the
strong and weak points of different approaches to religion, he will practice non-interference
and his greatest qualities will be integrity of character and honesty of thought.

Aries in the Tenth house ushers in a soul which will be concerned with giving a new
direction to the family or society into which he is born. His exact vocation is not important:
whether it is political agitation, a revival of traditional religion, the development of spiritual
or paranormal powers, the exploration of new lands or new fields of scientific inquiry, his
guiding light will be new dimensions of human experience.

The SUN in this sign makes the individual a fearless explorer in the spiritual realm, from
which he will retrieve some priceless gem for the benefit of mankind. He will have the
vitality to undertake an arduous mission, and to carry it forth unaided if the need arises. He
will conquer all his adversaries, and if necessary continue his pilgrimage all alone. He knows
how to stand alone; the world follows him later.

The MOON in this sign makes the individual a great benefactor of humanity. Reflecting
clearly what the divine plan unfolds for different people and the sufferings they all have to
experience, the Moon in Aries in the Tenth will impress upon its native how best to guide
them. The individual may not be a great oracle or seer, but he will be a person who
personifies compassion, who will sympathetically encourage those in distress to persist on
the path of righteousness. The relationship of the individual with society will be harmonious
and he will receive much regard from the people. His personal life may not be a bed of roses,
but to others he will make life worth living, instilling in them the spirit of fortitude and
optimism.

MERCURY in Aries in the Tenth will make the individual a great logician, unsurpassable in
debate and discussions. Working outside his homeland, he will discuss the hidden aspects of
life, and will succeed in producing publications which will be of enduring value. The novelty
of his approach, his down-to-earth analysis and vigor, as well as his language, will be
exceptionally simple but chaste. In his personal relationships, he will be equally at ease with
adversaries and friends.

When VENUS occupies this sign, the native is very passionate and thus comes into direct
contact with people; his primary contact with society arises from his sensitivity to the
weaknesses and needs of others. The fine arts, musical talent, painting and dancing are some
of the possible expressions of the inner experience of beauty which surrounds this individual,
but the precise form in which the experience is externalized will depend upon the individual's
perception of what society needs at the moment. It may take shapes as diverse as religious
teaching and guidance on one hand, or prostitution and pornography on the other, or it could
simply make the native very cooperative in the office. What is important is sensitivity to the
needs, weaknesses and desires of other people. With this position of Venus, there will
invariably be tremendous strain on the individual, which may lead to nervous breakdown or
some other psychophysical reaction to social interaction.

MARS in this sign will make the individual indomitable, always victorious over his enemies,
and capable of surmounting any obstacle. Restlessness will be pronounced. The native will
feel miserable if he has nothing to do, and only that which makes him physically active and
useful to society through identification with an ideal or a cause can satisfy him. He will be
successful, whether in civic life or on the battlefield. He must have a challenge, involvement,
and a cause for which to live.

JUPITER will enable the individual to develop his personal qualities. He will not lack
courage and valor, but his primary achievements will be in the spiritual life. He will be
learned, obedient to his parents and the state; his actions will be ethical, and he will always
be engaged in doing good to others, even when others are uncharitable to him.

SATURN will make the individual down-to-earth, measuring the usefulness of everything in
terms of its impact on everyday living. Saturn itself will have the capacity to destroy
everything that is personally satisfying to the individual, but will make him always conscious
of the needs of the other person. Personally, his life will be much restricted, with all
conveniences denied to him, but his mind will remain unimpaired, alert to the minutest detail
and capable of setting right a badly damaged machine or a thoroughly broken human spirit.
He will sometimes rise to sublime heights in whatever he does, but then fall, having been
denied the essential material for success. Though he stands on solid ground, his mind dwells
in the ether, and thus the solid earth beneath his feet suddenly collapses and he feels
suspended in emptiness. This is how Saturn in debilitation makes the individual miserable
materially in order to reveal to him his spiritual reality.

RAHU in this sign makes the individual hard-boiled but zealous in whatever he does. He may
become a religious fanatic.
KETU will make the individual unable to enjoy any situation in which he is placed. He will
instantly perceive the shallowness of any relationship and become detached. No situation can
make him feel whole-heartedly involved, and thus he will always feel lost. He will be
precocious, detached and philosophical, all suggesting a lonely life. .

A powerful soul is born when Taurus is in the Eleventh house. He derives inspiration for
his sattvic or beneficent observances from the Sea of Immutability. His mind dwells on the
higher spiritual realms, though physically he may be engaged in various mundane activities.
A sense of harmony and helpfulness pervades ail his relationships. Whether he becomes an
administrator, social worker, politician, saint or king, his life is deeply influenced by idealism
and a spiritual outlook. Nevertheless he takes a practical look at his responsibilities and
provides for his dependents and helpers adequately. He is so sensitive to the feelings and
thoughts of others that the slightest misery felt by an associate or dependent is deeply
experienced and registered in his psyche. His consciousness is so expanded that all his gains
or material possessions are never really regarded as "his."

The SUN in this sign makes the native kingly, with the welfare of the entire nation in his
heart. Dignified to the core, sensitive to every thought, he also has a great fondness for music
and the fine arts. He respects learned persons, artists, and eminent thinkers. He outshines
everyone around him, like the Sun in the solar system.

With the MOON in this position, the musical and literary abilities of the native are developed
almost to perfection. His urge for personal pleasure often leads him to seek the company of
widely different types of persons. Basically, however, he remains a thinker. His literary
works will make an enduring and substantial imprint on society. He will be very fond of
opulent and artistic possessions and will amass much wealth, though his physical health may
occasionally be poor.

MERCURY in Taurus in the Eleventh activates the native's mental principle, which will be
the cause of his difficulties as well as his enduring contribution to society. Mercury persuades
the native to dwell on the problems of life after death, or human pleasures and sensations
which ultimately give rise to sorrow, on the personal rivalries and un-brotherly feelings
which create bitterness and destruction in social life, and on the relationship between physical
existence and enduring spiritual life. But when his thoughts center on his personal life his
own comforts and achievements, there is a sense of disappointment. The real is not the ideal,
and this is the cause of his sorrow.

When VENUS occupies this sign, the art of music transcends its merely sensual nature and
becomes sublimely spiritual. The native's heart flows with the songs he sings and the musical
compositions he creates. He is not so much interested in monetary reward for his work; he
lives happily and blissfully with whatever he has. In spite of this psychological saintliness,
the conditions of his life keep him relatively affluent; his family members greatly benefit
from him. People flock to him because his company inspires them to seek higher realms of
existence, and because he is intensely consoling when others are faced with the pangs of
everyday misfortune.
MARS in this sign makes the native very materialistic. He earns much money, enjoys a good
life, and has the company of likeable persons. He is always engaged in business, and has little
time for his family. He finds no happiness in his children and often lapses in his morals.

With JUPITER in this position, the behavior of the native is always correct. He is respectful
to his parents, works for his family members, and is always willing to help them in any way
possible. This helpful attitude pays him rich dividends in his professional career; his
subordinates and colleagues are always willing to cooperate with him, and his superiors trust
him completely. He rises very high in terms of status, and as he grows old his respectability
and influence increase. He has a very harmonious married life and should be happy with his
children.
