Hora in Capricorn If the first half of Capricorn be on the Ascendant, the native will be dark in complexion, will possess eyes, like that of a deer, be fortunate, will conquer women, be beautiful, crafty, opulent, will eat purified food, will do good acts and will have elevated nose. The first Hora in Capricorn is a man with jagged teeth who is hideous, and fierce, armed with a club like Death at Doomsday. He breaks the peace, this wearer of a deer-skin. He guards his iron, his slaves, and his buffaloes, and, standing in the water, defends his black grain. He keeps fierce thieves who are devoted to him, Mlecchas and the chiefs of the Candalas, sending them out (on raids). A man born in the first Hora in Capricorn is black with an auspicious body, and has eyes like a deer’s and a thin, elevated nose; he is a gentle and well dressed rogue who cats spicy food and is rich in wealth and ornaments; a man invincible among women. If born in the second half of Capricorn one will have blood-red eyes, be indolent, be interested in long travels, be foolish, dark in complexion, will have a hairy physique, be clever and fierce. The second Hora in Capricorn is a woman with loose hair who has a red face and red arms and who stands on one foot; they say that the rest of her is black. Her belly hangs down, and her teeth arc dreadful like a crocodile’s. She shines with blue unguents, and her body is covered with a garment the color of collyrium. She is adorned with ornaments made of the metal of the Pishacas. Entering the water and standing at the Mare’s Mouth (the Entrance to Hell), she raises her voice again and again. One born in the second Hora of Capricorn is black and has eyes with red corners and a tall, thin body; he is lazy, but commits violent and cruel deeds and acts with firmness and courage; he has women friends, but is fickle with regard to sexual intercourse. Drekkana in Capricorn One born in the first drekkana of Capricorn will have long hands, be dark in complexion, charming, famous, crafty, sparing in speech, be conquered by ladies, will perform superior acts and be wealthy. The first Decanate in Capricorn is the color of collyrium. His teeth are as terrible as a crocodile’s, He is armed with a staff, and his actions are like those of Time and Death. He stands in the middle of a cemetery with an armour of heavy hair and a strong body. A man born in the first, Drekkana of Capricorn is a dark and handsome rogue whose arms hang down and whose eyes are wide and thighs broad; he is irresistible among other men’s wives, converses with a smile and behaves attractively; and he owns money and grain. If the first drekkan is rising the tenth house will be to the fore. The native will earn well on his own merit and also through speculation. The 40th, 45th, and 50th years of life will be important. The first decanate of Capricorn ruled by Saturn

The First Drekkana of Capricorn represents a golden hued man with a hairy face, with a fiendish & cruel face, with wicked teeth like those of a crocodile, with a pig like body & keeping nets, bandages and yokes. This is an quadruped, human and armed decanate. Since the first decanate of Capricorn is rising their speculation bears fruit. Due to their intelligence and merits they will attain to wealth. They are advised to exercise caution and be careful about people and check all before dealing with them. The important years in their are 20, 21, 30, 31, 40, 45 & 50. The 1st drekkana of Capricorn in the ascendant provides an ambitious, persevering plodding, and persistent disposition. Fate is determined by the moral growth and the power to organize and rise above the difficulties of the early environment. The native is basically reserved, firm and self-reliant and anxious to be at the head of affairs. The Capricorn influence provides the native with tremendous potential for tact, prudence, and progress both financially and socially. First Drekkana (1°-10°).—The wealth will be due to personal merit and, sometimes, it may be due to speculation also. The subject will have many big plans but they will seldom succeed. He should be on guard always and not overtrust others. It promises success in any legitimate business he may care to go in for. He should try plans and projects that bring him in contact with the public. Investments connected with mining, precious stones and crystals and also factories will prove favourable. Important years will be 20th, 21st, 30th, 31st, 40th, 45th and 50th. One born in the second drekkana of Capricorn will have a small face, be fickle minded, will steal the wealth of other women, skilful, be a fortune-teller, be liberal and will suffer from diseases of the feet. The second Decanate in Capricorn is a man of blazing splendor whose teeth are dark blue and like a Pishaca’s, He is handsome, having bound on his armour, sword, and helmet (shirastrana). He wanders about constructing river-embankments, tanks, and aqueducts. One born in the second (Drekkana of Capricorn) is a dark-skinned rogue with a thin mouth and firm legs; he is a fickle, wicked, and quarrelsome man who wanders about stealing other men’s wives and money, but having no wife of his own. The second drekkan when rising will show mixed results of Saturn and Venus. The second house will be to the fore. The native will not be very ambitious. He will be very hard working and persistent in his effort. He will also be more conservative. The urge to amass wealth and property will be stronger. The 35th, 42nd, 45th and 50th years of life will be important. The second decanate of Capricorn ruled by Venus The second Drekkana of Capricorn represents a woman, with a penchant for clothes and searching for them, a lover of arts and highly skilled in them, beautiful eyes like lotus petals, dark complexioned and wearing ear ornaments made up of iron. This is a female decanate. Since the second decanate of Capricorn is rising, they are swayed by Wealth. Their pattern of expenditure will surprise many a people They spend money not on things which are necessary but on purposes not worthwhile. They will become overgenerous in the latter half of life. The important years in their life are 22, 24, 32, 35, 42, 45 & 50 The 2nd drekkana of Capricorn rising incites the ambitious qualities of the native and provides him with a persistent driving nature. He is inclined towards conservative and orthodox conditions. This position of Capricorn strengthens the character and indicates that the native will be a strong willed person. Second Drekkana (11°-20°).—The native will have a lot of regard for money. He will spend money on purposes not worthwhile, while shirking on those that he should spend. In the latter half of life, he

will become over-generous and will naturally improverish himself. In other words, he will be difficult to understand. Banking will be good as also sound investments. The important years will be 22nd, 24th, 32nd, 35th, 42nd, 45th and 50th. One born in the third drekkana of Capricorn will be garrulous, dirty, emaciated, long-limbed, devoid of father and will be reduced to evils in foreign places. The third Decanate in Capricorn is a woman with loose hair, a gaping mouth, and a hanging belly. Her red body is tall and thin. She holds a noose in her hand, and wears a winding-sheet. She delights in injury. In the last (Drekkana of Capricorn) is born a man whose brow is like a bell and whose limbs are long and lean; he has a foul nature and is addicted to sexual promiscuity (godharma); having been separated from his father, he obtains his money from a foreign country, but always gets miseries (as well). The third drekkan when rising brings the sixth house to the fore and the influence of Mercury will also be present alongwith that of Saturn. The native will not be sure of himself and will not be self reliant. He will be better educated and a better member of the society than natives born in the other two drekkans. He will however not do so well in life. He will be adaptable. The health is likely to suffer due to worry. He is likely to lose through his friends. He will have to face disappointments in life. Success will come to him after his 40th year. The 36th, 41st, 46th, 49th and 55th years of life will be important. The third decanate of Capricorn ruled by Mercury The last Drekkana of Capricorn represents a man, with a face of a horse, holding bows and arrows, covered with strong clothes, and bearing a pot on its shoulder full of gems. This is a human & a quadruped decanate. Since the third decanate of Capricorn is rising they may lose money due to undesirable friends. The fields of Music, dancing literary work and other arts are very much suited to them. They should exercise ceaseless vigilance in money matters. The important years in their life are 26,29, 36, 41, 46, 49 & 55. The 3rd drekkana of Capricorn ascending modifies the self-reliance of the sign but strengthens intellectual and mental qualifications. If the native can manage to obtain a good education the indications are that he will become a useful and important member of society. Circumstance will dictate the life of the native, much more than the ability to rule his own destiny. Third Drekkana (21°-30°).—Undesirable friends will drain financial resources. Music, literary work, dancing and other fine arts will be suitable for those born in this Drekkana. The subject will have to exercise great caution in money matters. During his early life, he will meet with many disappointments. But after about the 40th year, he will be successful. Speculation is not advisable. Important years will be 26th, 29th, 36th, 41st, 46th, 49th and 55th.

considered as the prime determinant of health for Capricornians. If the Sun is strong, they enjoy good health. Otherwise, Capricornians have a sickly constitution and suffer from joint pains/inflammation, arthritis, general weakness, emaciated body, skin diseases and allergies, etc. The native may also have troubles resulting from over work and nervous disorders.

Capricorn Lagna: Capricorn's symbol in jyotish is the makara, a word which is usually translated 'crocodile' but also indicates a sort of generic sea monster. The makara symbolizes ambition, both by its ferocity after its prey (its goal) and by its amphibious nature, which betokens its aspiration to master two elements (Earth and Water). This ambition is particularly strong because Capricorn is the tenth house of the natural zodiac, because Venus is the lord of the fifth house of speculation and the tenth house of career, and because Saturn is exalted in the tenth house of a Capricorn ascendant. Mars for Aries lagna is also exalted in the tenth house, but Mars frenetically pursues fast progress, while Saturn stands for the slow, steady, behind-the-scenes, gradual sort of progress that often comes later in life. Slow progress in career becomes particularly pronounced for Capricorn because Saturn is the slowest of the planets, and because Capricorn is both a passive rashi and an Earth rashi.

As with Aries, the lord of a Capricorn lagna is debilitated in the fourth house, which often presages a dissatisfaction with family life, ancestors, roots and property. Because Venus is the lord of the fifth house of offspring, however, Capricorns are famous for doting on their children. Mars, the significator for property, is exalted in the first house of this ascendant as lord of the fourth house of property and the eleventh house of gain; this betokens gain through property. The native may be concurrently dissatisfied with any gained, since Saturn, another of the property significators, is debilitated in the fourth house. Capricornians tend to be money minded because people, who have been seized by Saturn, the lord of and second houses here, tend to become miserly and stingy. Saturn, who (being dry) is the Vata significator, may promote a Vata constitution for Capricornians, inclining them to long bodies, sometimes to the point of gauntness. Arthritis may also be indicated, because Capricorn is an Earth sign, and Earth is to movement. The remedy is a copper ring or bracelet and exercise. Some texts state that Capricornians are hypocrites because Jupiter, the significator of spirituality, rules two dussthanas (the third and twelfth houses) and is debilitate in the first house of a Capricorn ascendant. We have also observed people who have an interest in India often have major placements in Capricorn, particularly because its lord Saturn represents conservative, old things like tradition, and because Saturn enables people to plod toward their goals patiently. Capricorn, the Goat The Goat is an adept mountain climber, toughened and hardy, and able to withstand the cold winds and rocky terrain of worldly ambition. Calculated steps get you to the top, and relentless determination combined with careful initiative ensures eventual success. Capricorn is associated with career goals, social status, financial security, and dynamic practicality in general. The practicality of Capricorn (following on from and guided by the ethics and ideals of Sagittarius) is far more visionary than the technical efficiency of the sign Virgo. Capricorn represents a relatively mature stage of development in which responsibility can be shouldered for projects that will affect large numbers of people, such as in the realms of politics and big business. This requires worldly experience and a combination of both discipline and dynamism.

This is probably due to the fact that the general nature of this sign and its lord Saturn is very much different from the general nature of Jupiter and therefore Jupiter does not feel comfortable when placed in this sign as this sign tries to impart certain qualities to Jupiter which are quite opposite to the characteristic qualities of Jupiter. So the natives with Jupiter placed in Capricorn in their horoscope are likely to suffer on front of the significances ruled by Jupiter, generally and specifically in their horoscopes. The placement of some strong positive planets like, Saturn, Mercury, Rahu, Mars and Venus in this sign can bless the native with very good materialistic results and can make the native a very good diplomat, communicator and manipulator and can bless the native with very good materialistic gains by virtue of these qualities and some other good qualities rendered by Capricorn to the planets placed in it.

Vedic Astrology Signs: Capricorn Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, expressing his feminine nature. So, the reflective quality of Saturn is what Capricorn refers to. Saturn is a planet of time in our determined efforts over time. The awareness that we need to be safe and protected into the future comes from Saturn. We not only need to eat food today, or need a place to sleep today. We need a place to sleep and food to eat tomorrow and for the rest of our life. This awareness comes from Saturn. It’s also the awareness of the past and what has happened to us, and how we may hang onto the past and have it dominate our thinking in the present. The enormity of time keeping us stuck or keeping us moving forward is the nature of Saturn and through Capricorn, we reflect upon this. We seal it in our mind and heart. The Capricorn is always a little bit scared of making mistakes, yet they are very calculating and rational about where they’re going and where that they must build something of importance. Capricorn is an earth sign which is related to structure and materiality. Saturn also rules the second house of wealth and resources from Capricorn. So, a Capricorn person may be a little bit greedy at times. They may also tend to see others through this material bent. They want everything to be useful and practical and Rational, and may also look at people in their lives as Commodities. So, a Capricorn person must be careful about now looking at others in a materialistic way, once they say “your my partner”, or “you are my child” or “you are my employee”, then, they have a stake in your outcome and this can create a certain amount of domination, fear and control. Capricorn needs to be less rational and more connected to their feelings and emotions. Capricorn inherently is afraid of these emotions, because if we start acting emotionally, rather than rationally, we could lose everything. Because, when we start acting emotionally, we are not in control anymore. We’re not in control of time, we’re not in control of structure. The emotions are ruled by water and water dissolves earth. Capricorn needs to balance this rational approach with a more emotional approach. Things related to the sign of cancer, which has to do with selfless love and nurturing. But in general, Capricorn is a hard working sign that is good with their family, they’re good providers with a strong ethical foundation. They must be careful about clinging to those principals and values out of fear, and learn to be more in flow with their heart.

Parashara says: "[They] are generally emaciated and weak and grow slowly. Their body will not be plump or muscular but slender. A native of this lagna grows tall suddenly on becoming young and his constitution improves with age. His nose is long and eyes deep-set. The hair is coarse.

"Makara is lorded by Shani and has predominance of Tamo-Guna (a disposition, seen in demons). It is an earthy Rashi and represents the southern direction. It is strong in nights and rises with its back. It has a large body. Its complexion is variegated and it resorts to both forests and lands. Its first half is quadruped and its second half footless, moving in water." T. Subba Row. (1881). "The Twelve Signs of the Zodiac" "X. Makara. There is some difficulty in interpreting this word; nevertheless it contains within itself the clue to its correct interpretation. The letter Ma is equivalent to number 5, and Kara means hand. Now in Sanskrit, Thribhujam means a triangle, bhujam or karam (both are synonymous) being understood to mean a side. So, Makaram or Panchakaram means a Pentagon.** ( * 36 is three times 12, or 9 Tetraktis, or 12 Triads, the most sacred number in the Kabalistic and Pythagorean numerals.--Ed. Theos.) (** The five-pointed star or pentagram represented the five limbs of man.--Ed. Theos.) Now, Makaram is the tenth sign, and the term "Dasadisa" is generally used by Sanskrit writers to denote the faces or sides of the universe. The sign in question is intended to represent the faces of the universe, and indicates that the figure of the universe is bounded by Pentagons. If we take the pentagons as regular pentagons (on the presumption or supposition that the universe is symmetrically constructed) the figure of the material universe will, of course, be a Dodecahedron, the geometrical model imitated by the Demiurgusin constructing the material universe. ..."

(this list is adapted from Das) "Mriga" = 'animal' Makara and Kumbha = Mriga's Animal nature, classically exemplified by the behavior of crocodiles (makaram, kumbham) in the jungle. Mrigaasya has the herd instinct. heir animal-based behavior is straightforward and predictable. It is almost completelyreflexive And instinctive. One of the great virtues of a Makara incarnation is that one can live life largely apparently uninterrupted by the vicissitudes of human style "choice". What choice-making occurs is only on a

limited basis regarding enhancement of material survival through reducing the fear response. The choice process is fully resolved in the moment of material attainment, which is to say the the Maraka native is happy with tangible proof of his survival And does not spend a lifetime seeking ineffable qualities such as meaningfulness or enlightenment. Makara rules the "base" chakra near the coccyx /anus which acts on brain signals regarding physical protection and security. Social approval which reduces fear of isolation or starvation is extremely important to this native, and one will do whatever seems required to obtain it. Shani's lordship emphasizes the role of the Reptile Brain, the source of signals encouraging survival through conformity and single-minded pursuit of material requirements. Attributes of solid citizenry such as property ownership, military protection, lawfulness, conservative politics, respect for traditional social practices, respect of caste boundaries are As a general rule, Makara natives are vigorously straightforward individuals of the "guardian" type whose aspirations are predominantly guided by matters of security and material comfort. They are dependable, reliable, steady, always hungry, eager to conform, and easily startled. Environment of Makara: What is there: dry, rocky, windy doesn't have to be cold, but should be very dry colors are muted, dried by the sun and wind - colors of rock, bone, stone, dried wood, sand, dust, dried grass politically conservative, "law and order" doesn't have to be intolerant or homogenous, but if there is diversity, everyone needs to live under the same laws usually not near large bodies of water, but there can be rivers, underground waters etc so long as it is rocky and dry on the surface very orderly place, the laws are enforced but it does not have to be oppressive or hostile; but people must share one single system of government government regulations and those who work for government dominate the environment usually the national government has a presence in addition to regional bureaucracy included also: large hierarchical organizations like big corporations, and universities, public libraries, medical clinics, and jails or prisons which are extensions of the government there is usually some money-wealth in this environment, but the main value is rank and position usually it is a broad expanse of dry land that is not good for farming so it becomes ranchland, a big terrain for cattle grazing, or if its really dry then Who is there: older people who want safety old-order folks who want the world to remain the same as the world they were raised in people of any age, who want to maintain the old way of doing things bureaucrats, people who like and need a fixed routine, people who thrive in a highly regulated environment people who believe that everyone should conform toa single set of rules people who need respect and recognition for their position in the hierarchy people who like to belong to hierarchical organizations such as conservative churches, social groups based on conservative beliefs, and law-and-order political groups

people who fear the loss of routine, the loss of predictability, the loss of respect people who fear shortages and scarcity, disorder, loss of face, and loss of position people who dislike innovation, challenge to the old way, suggestion of alternatives to the conventional rule of law people who need and want a great deal of structure in their lives, and who do not want to take chances people who need to make decisions and give orders that force others to conform people who think that they are or should be in the social elite people who think that reality is a pyramid structure, usually with a deity or a supreme commander at the top Makara and Kumbha = the two rashis of Shani. Makara governs the "solar" side of Shani's terrain. Makara rules "bottom" of the pingala nadi = central solar channel in the subtle yogic body, the solar side of muladhara chakra. Kumbha rules the "lunar" side of Shani's terrain. Kumbha governs the "bottom" of the ida nadi = the central lunar channel which rules on the left side of the sushumna. (Or, it can be seen to form a caduceus-type snake-wrap around the central core, crossing at chakra points. There are several viable models.) Makara is thus a more outgoing and productive sign than Kumbha. When Shani occupies swakshetra of Makara, He will be dutiful, dedicated to the active wellbeing of his hierarchy, devoted to developing healthy new structures. Compared to Kumbha, Makara is more warm, more rational, more concerned with outward appearances, more ego-oriented and more status-conscious. Planets in Makara certainly get the cold, dry, pessimistic, somber, materialistic, and structural influence of Shani. But when considering the difference between Shani's character in his two adjacent rashi of Makara and Kumbha, it's important to note the solar psychic quality of Makara to understand how different these two rashi are. Frawley's explanation of why Kuja is exalted in Makara, for example, is eminently sensible. (By contrast, Kuja is Kumbha is known to be weak and confused.) Makara is a "cold, dry" rashi, ruled by a "cold, dry" planet, Shani. Mercury (Budha) and Saturn (Shani) are considered cold planets because they are concerned with material and mental matters notwithstanding the feelings of the heart. As a generality, the four "cold" lagna are Mithuna, Kanya, Makara, and Kumbha. Natives of these four lagna tend to live on the material and/or mental surface of life. Their social identity is directed largely by their sense of mental activity (Mithuna and Kanya) or their sense of material obligation (Makara and Kumbha). As a result their bodies are less sensitive to the spiritual and emotional vibrations. This general observation can definitely be changed when the Lord of Chandra is a sensitive planet, or when the lagnesha (for Makara, lagnesha is Shani) is conjunct (yuti) more spiritually or emotionally disposed planets such as Guru or Moon or more psychic influences like Rahu/Ketu, or when the lagna is favorable aspected, etc... However as a general rule the cold signs live on the mental and material surface of life; they tend to be driven by surface concerns and they lack depth. If both radix lagna and radix Chandra are ruled by Budha or Shani, the "cold" attribute is doubled. Psycho-emotional predisposition: Chandra rules Bhava-7 for Ena lagna. Makara lagna has a psycho-emotional predisposition to expect that establishing relationships and contractual agreements will provide their security and protection. They are happiest (not always

successful but happiest) in contractual roles that express balancing and negotiating behaviors. E.g., marriage counselor, attorney, advising physician, arbitrator or negotiator, broker, financial dealmaker and any type of arranger. Chandra's radix and navamsha rashi and any drishti to Chandra will show the native 's specific style of pursuing security and emotional fulfillment. (E.g., Moon ruled by Shukra gives balancing and designing roles in beauty and justice; ruled by Shani gives contract enforcement roles in government and large organizations; ruled by Surya negotiating role in entertainment etc.) Typically these natives love marriage and unions, and expect to gain social stability by investing in their key peer relationships. Despite their desire for stability, they are prone toward lifelong negotiating in all personal and professional dealings. Tends to attract moody and emotionally reactive spouses.

Capricorn Makara - Myths and Symbols of Vedic Astrology Capricorn is generally seen as a goat but other symbols are also assigned to it. As a unicorn, a horselike creature with a single horn in the center of its forehead, it symbolizes chastity and purity. In Hindu astrology, it is known as Makara which literally means "a crocodile." This word, however, has many implications. Geometrically, this sign is described by a complicated diagram. Of the two emblems related to it, one is a horizontal line terminating with a downward moving arc ending with a loop having an extended arc, and the other has a V-shaped beginning whose downward arc convexing to the right . Neither of these are simple figures which can easily be interpreted. In predictive astrology also, one finds that Capricorn persons are exceptional in many ways. They are complicated individuals who cannot be easily categorized. Both the goat and the unicorn reveal the austerity inherent in this sign. The unicorn with a horn in the center of its forehead is a mystic creature. The importance of the activation of the pituitary gland in connection with yogic development is well known. When the sexual energy is transmuted

into spiritual power, when the Kundalini in its upward movement reaches the pituitary gland, the yogi attains great psychic powers. Such a development becomes possible due to unification of the personal consciousness with the universal life-force. Under the Sagittarius impulse, the divine vision of the cosmic unity has flashed on the individual and aroused the urge to realize it. This is the transformation of the animal nature into true human qualities. The next impulse under Capricorn provides the bridge between man and the superman. The development of the pituitary gland establishes this link. In yogic practice, the aspirant attempts to activize this gland deliberately. But, in order to do so, one has to follow strict disciplines. These austerities give great importance to Brahmacharya. Brahmacharya does not merely mean control of sexual functions, but includes the observation of ethical principles. In this regard, the reference to a goat relative to this sign is quite meaningful. The goat is a herbivorous animal with simple habits, symbolic of purity of life. Many ancient sages were compared with the goat. The humility or meekness of a goat is proverbial. Under Capricorn, the qualities of self-sacrifice and renunciation are developed. The goat, seemingly a meek and a weak animal, has tremendous courage and self-confidence which enable it to balance sure-footedly even on precarious mountain precipices. All the austerities under Capricorn arc directed to the development of the pituitary gland which leads to direct perception of spiritual reality. The Sanskrit name Makara reveals the spiritual significance of this sign more pointedly. Makara stands for the crocodile, which is considered one of the most precious treasures of Kubera, the god of riches and the regent of the northern quarter. The hold of the crocodile is so powerful that none except a god can counteract it. The impact of the tenth zodiacal sign is also great, and very little can be done to overcome it or deflect its influence. The Capricorn impulse is so intimately linked with nature's finer forces that the deeper levels of the soul are stirred under its impact, which the outer or the physical being is unable to resist. The crocodile as a symbol of Capricorn has another meaning. The fourth sign Cancer, represented by a crab, is directly related to this tenth sign opposite it in the zodiac. The crab is an aquatic creature, as is the crocodile. The difference is that the crocodile emerges out of water and generally stays on the bank of a river or sea, while the crab dwells primarily in water and comes to land only occasionally and for a short time. Cancer is connected with the life-force emerging in spiritual evolution to get concretized. In Capricorn this process is reversed. The individualized entity dwells increasingly in the universal lifeforce. Gradually, he returns to the world soul, amma mundi. The significance of the crocodile symbol has been discussed in length by T.Subba Rao, the great Indian occultist of the late nineteenth century (EWpp. 6-15). According to him, Makara does not simply refer to the crocodile. It signifies creative intelligence restricting its boundary of operation, thus holding every particle within the manifested universe in its arms so to say. According to him the impulse from the tenth zodiacal sign makes the cosmos and the human being fulfill their destiny. The ultimate goal of the individual is to consciously cooperate in the divine plan of evolution. The word Makara derives from the same Sanskrit root from which comes such words as Maya, creative illusion; Ma, mother; Manas, mind; and Mahal, cosmic intelligence, each of which relates to the process of forming and holding together the individualized particles of the manifest universe. The second syllabic of the word, Kara, refers to the hand, the organs of action, and the idea of holding. Numerically, the value of Ma, the first syllable of the word, is five, corresponding to the five elements of which the cosmos is composed. The word Kara is also a synonym of Bhuja, which means

the sides of a triangle and indicates the quality of inscribing an area within its boundary. The five organs of action or five elements hold the particles of the manifest creation within a specific limit thus protecting the cosmos from dissolution. According to Subba Rao, the word Makara (Panchakaram) stands for a pentagon. This implies that the sign represents "the faces of the universe," which are bound by the pentagon. Continuing with this analogy, he states that the material universe has the figure of a Decahedron, a ten sided figure, for which Sanskrit writers used the word Dashadisha meaning ten directions. The real world of the noumena, the soul of the visible universe, which is the hidden world represented by an icosahedron, a twenty sided figure, is mysteriously related to the visible universe represented by the decahedron. The tenth zodiacal impulse includes within its scope the unified field of the subjective-objective universe, in which human beings must operate with a Divine purpose. Blavatsky, examining the crocodile symbol of Capricorn, gives further spiritual meanings to it (SD Vol. IV, pp. 147-151). To her also the Sanskrit word Makara does not simply refer to a crocodile but "to a mysterious order of beings known as Dhyanis." Dhyanis are highly evolved beings engaged in deep meditation in order to assist the ideational process of cosmic manifestation. These Dhyanis are connected with the crocodile and their abode is Capricorn. These mystical references relative to Capricorn reveal the immense depth of its influences which exoteric astrologers find difficult to explain. According to Blavatsky, Dhyanis and Makara are convertible terms. The Dhyanis are regarded as the secret guardians of this universe, so Capricorn refers to those guiding influences which hold the universe together and guide it to its destiny. The function of the pituitary gland is also to establish contact with subjective reality and comprehend its expressions as phenomenal attributes. The two diagrams assigned to this sign approach it from different standpoints. The one beginning with a horizontal line ending in a downward moving curve looping towards the end 5 indicates that Prakriti or Nature, the feminine aspect of manifestation constituting matter and form, having reached its terminal point is again put to trial. The journey is not finally concluded. It has to continue further, form another realm of manifestation and transcend it. The horizontal line carries the individual and the universe to the goal by merging in divine intelligence and establishing unity with the Dhyanis . On reaching this stage of manifestation, further progress still has to be made. The goal is no longer individual progress, butthe will of the spiritual hierarchy. The purpose of life changes. The individual does not strive for personal attainments but for the good of nature, to further the cause of cosmic ideation in an impersonal way. The end of materiality has been reached, as signified by the termination of the horizontal line. From the terminating point, the arc moving downward reminds us again of the creative process until the wholeness of the circle is reached. Having reached perfection, energy has to be directed to the externalizing process once again. The entire symbol represents the stage of attainment and the further task to be accomplished. The other symbol begins with a V-shape angle followed by a small horizontal line tucked with a small circle and ending with a downward arc convexing to the right V3. It shows the downpour of divine energy for further working out the Divine plan. The V-shape is a funnel describing the special benediction, guidance, and association of higher beings with the world of manifestation. Materialism at this stage gets spiritualized. The figure continues with a small horizontal line indicating that the benediction is for undertaking further manifestation of the plan, according to special assignments represented by the small circle. The right hand convexing arc points to the evolutionary action

following this task. From both these figures we see that the individual manifestation is over and divine guidance for impersonal work is bestowed involving yet greater difficulties and struggles. MAKARA: Bepin Bihari - Fundamentals of Vedic Astrology The nature of Makara is shrouded in mysterious references and allusions which cannot be easily described by the exoteric laws of nature. All these allusions refer to the central meaning of the sign — which has little to do with the word makara, meaning crocodile. Rather, the sign is associated with the Tropic of Capricorn which, in Theosophical literature, is the seat of the guardians of this globe. The tenth sign is related to the spiritual impulse which guides the world towards its destiny. Capricorn refers to the involvement of the individual in the process of the universalization of human energy. During the interaction of such forces there may be hardship and suffering. Under this impulse, consciousness begins to link up with thought currents and vibrations from higher realms of existence and the governing powers of the universe. On the material level, there may be difficulties and dissatisfaction, but inwardly the result of Capricorn is extremely satisfying. When Capricorn begins to operate, past karmas are activated. Consequently, many unusual events begin to take place. The past accumulated forces are worked out so that the burden is lessened and sensitivity is heightened for absorbing fresh inspiration. The inner light concealed under the deceptive mask is released. Disillusionment, destruction of traditional values, and a new alignment of forces all occur under this influence. Capricorn is considered feminine because the changes which take place under this sign completely re-create the individual, making him ready for the onward spiritual journey. The situations one confronts under Capricorn are not necessarily the result of one's immediate doings, but follow from past actions; there is much working out of destiny and fate. The sign is earthy. The realm of operation of this sign is mundane existence. Whatever happens under this sign makes us capable of sustaining further pressures on the souls journey. Capricorn is movable, implying that there will be considerable change under its impact. The basic forces flowing through this sign can also be understood by its relationship with Saturn, which owns it, Jupiter, which is debilitated here, and Mars, which is exalted. The deep acting effect of this sign often brings excruciating pain and tormenting psychological experiences. Any kind of religious advice, exoteric philosophy, or ritualistic practices will seem offensive to it. The sign is well disposed towards hard work, trying to harmonize the Self with universal thought currents and the individual's spiritual destiny. One has to be careful in deciphering the impact of this sign because it is extremely active, highly potent, and deep acting. THE COMPLEX CAPRICORN - Introduction to Esoteric Astrology WHERE the Eternal Heavenly Man has been crucified at the altar of materiality, where the Spiritual Essence of Manifestation has been cribbed and confined to the limitations of Matter, where Divine Consciousness is aroused in the Prodigal Son, that level of cosmogenesis is represented by Capricorn. Human beings born under this sign are stormed by the highly activised forces of past karma as well as attracted by the irresistible future destiny waiting for them. The Capricorn personality is complex. It is often burdened with the inertia of Kama-Manas, that is, mind involved in material desires. But the voice of intuition is not stifled. As a result of these two contradictory forces, such individuals have to confront sudden emotional upsurges. They are often thrown among unknown partners; the main purpose of these events is to lead them to maturityDivine Serenity-which ultimately awaits every ego. A unique feature of Capricorn ascendants is to

have many unexpected opportunities which tum the course of their life; these events are the throwback of their past karma specially put in their present life to arouse some divine potentiality in them. The complexity of the Capricorn ascendants is purposive, the primary aim of such circumstances being to draw them to the right path of spiritual evolution, the right way of human progress towards their heavenly father. Capricorn ascendants are intellectuals ready with rationalisation for their every action; their mind is so developed that their reasoning many a time deludes even themselves and they feel themselves stable, honest and faithful. But from the worldly standards their conduct may be at variance from these ideals. In fact, the crucifixion of Capricorn individuals is intensified by the instability of their emotion and the companionship of strange bedfellows. Such persons are not necessarily trusted by their friends, by their married partners as well as by their business colleagues. They have however great capacity for doing things and sharp intelligence, and many radically transforming events influence their lives. Capricorn is the tenth sign representing the 10th Bhava of Kala Purusha. The 10th house stands for avocation, the vital effort which determines the course of one's life. This aspect of life is important for everyone. The basic purpose of the Heavenly Man-his avocation—is Manifestation, which has two aspects, namely, the outer or the exoteric, and inner or the occult. Matter is the vehicle for expressing the former and Spirit of the latter. This duality between Spirit and matter at the mundane level often requires categorising the individuals between materialists and spiritualists. This division however is unrealistic. Each individual has both the forces operating on him. Therefore, though one may predominate in some individuals and the other in others, yet the complex interaction of the two facets of life-force should be recognised and due regard given to them while assessing the basic nature of the Capricorn people. The Capricorn individuals are not necessarily materialists or spiritualistic as such, rather they represent a particular interrelationship or blend between these two forces. It has often been repeated that Libra distinguishes the involuting Spirit from the evolving one. Every zodiac following this deepest level of involution has been mysterious. Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces all have been so described. The mysterious characteristics of each of these zodiacs are different from one another. The mysterious nature of Capricorn is revealed to some extent by its Sanskrit name. Capricorn is known as Makara. This word conceals a lot and it deflects much from the view of the common people. By discovering the numerical value of this sign, some of its inner meanings are revealed. Makara consists of two words namely Ma and Kara. The former has the same root from which the words like Maya (creative illusion), Ma (mother), Mamatha (compassion), Manasa (creative intelligence), Mahat (Universal Intelligence) and many other similar words are derived. Numeri cally, the value of Ma is said to be five. This number has correspondence with the five elements of which the cosmos is made of (The occult and the outer aspects of the same principle has made 5x2= 10, which is the numerical of this sign). Thus Ma symbolises those five mighty creative forces of which the cosmos is built. Taken in its dual aspect, it is the sacrifice of the Heavenly Man on the Cross of Manifestation. Pentagon is one of the many symbols of this stage of manifestation. The creative water of life-the very essence of energy has been circumscribed by kara-the hands, the vehicles of action--ten when both the sets of vehicles working on the level of action and understanding are taken into account. Thus when Capricorn represents the involvement of the highest spirit in the grossest matter and when that imprisoned splendour has been struggling to

liberate itself from the shackles of matter, the Capricorn individuals must experience in some measure this imprisonment. Obviously therefore the Makara ascendants whatever their nature, spiritual or materialistic, must feel imprisoned, constricted, gaoled, fettered, whose wings have been clipped. The white dove of freedom has been caged within the dark hours of limitations. No wonder Makara persons are full of energy, enthusiasm, idealism but they find themselves helpless in expressing their talents. It is also noticeable that almost every year, with every transit of Jupiter from one house to another, a new and significant event takes place in the life of Capricorn ascendants. Let us examine the esoteric side of Capricorn a little more intensively. This sign is closely connected with the abode of the Mighty Intelligence responsible for the evolution of souls on this planet. While dealing with this subject, Madame H.P. Blavatsky stated that "Makara is related to a mysterious order of beings known as Dhyanis". These Dhyanis, she has mentioned (cf. TheSecretDoctrine, Vol.I.p.266), were connected with the crocodile, and their abode is in Capricorn. She had further stated, "But these are convertible terms in Indian Astrology, for the tenth sign of the zodiac, which is called Makara, is loosely translated as 'crocodile'. The word itself is occultly interpreted in various ways...In Egypt, the Defunct-whose symbol is the pentagram, or the five-pointed star, the points of which represent the limbs of a man--was shown emblematically transformed into a crocodile. Sebekh or Sevekh(or Seventh).... is a dragon in reality, not a crocodile. He is the 'Dragon of Wisdom', or Manas, the Human Soul, Mind, the Intelligent Principle, called in our Esoteric Philosophy the Fifth principle" (Ibid., p. 266). From this it may be apparent that the tenth zodiac named Makara, meaning crocodile is not actually the reptile but the Universal Intelligence represented as pentagram (as numerically indicated by the word) whose abode is in Capricorn. Even Dr. B.V. Raman, the respected editor of The Astrological Magazine revealed his full knowledge of the esoteric significance of this sign when he stated that "Capricorn quickens the mental and intellectual qualification". Personally we feel the Dr. B.V. Raman did not discuss the esoteric side of Capricorn because he was more concerned with mundane astrology than with the interaction of occult forces on the activities of human individuals, but astrology by no means should be taken merely as a knowledge concerning material existence. The main emphasis of Madame H.P. Blavatsky has been to show that behind the physical universe there is a great empire of Mighty Intelligences and the Divine Will is being worked through them, and Indian astrology provides some clues for the understanding of this Divine Empire. Coming back to subject of Capricorn and the Fifth Principle to which Madame H.P. Blavatsky has made references, it is indeed the Mind Principle which has the creative as well as the destructive potentiality. It is therefore not surprising that the Capricorn ascendants are highly intelligent, selfopinionated and mysteriously powerful individuals showing signs of invisible higher powers working through them. "Even the dual nature of this sign has been due to this relationship between the individuals born under this sign and the Divine Intelligences. This order of Dhyanis are supposed to contain in themselves the dual attributes of both the spiritual and physical aspects of the Universe; the two poles, so to say of Mahat, the Universal Intelligence and the dual nature of man the spiritual and the physical. Hence its number Five, doubled and made into ten, connecting it with Makara the tenth sign of the zodiac" (Ibid., p. 268). With Capricorn rising on the eastern horizon, the Cosmic Man, or the Heavenly Man has four of his chakras--the force centres, above the horizon radiating intensified specialised energy from them. These chakras are known asMuladhara located at the base of the spine, Svadhisthana near the spleen, Manipura at the base of navel. The heart chakra, namely, Anahata chakra has been setting

on the western horizon when Capricorn has been rising. The three chakras which are clearly above the horizon pulsate with sexual, nervous and psychic energies. Muladhara arouses the Serpent Fire-Kundalini Shakti--which vitalises blood while giving heat to the body and increases sexual potency. The Serpent Fire reaching Manipura and vivifying solar plexus considerably augments the sensitivity of the individual; Svadhisthana chakra gives to the individual power to travel consciously in the astral world. Anahata chakra, which is on the borderline chakra at the western(setting) horizon for Capricorn ascendants, gives to the person consciousness of the feelings of others. It arouses sympathy and sensitivity to link one's consciousness with that of other persons in order to understand the working of their heart. From this, it may be seen that the Cosmic Man under this sign rising has all the "physical" forcecentres activised, but the higher chakras, which lead the individual to spiritual heights are still submerged in darkness. When related to the mundane individuals one may infer that this condition will emphasize great physical and material prowess, but spirituality is still in the realm of hidden realities. Despite submerging of the individual in material involvements and distressing feelings of frustration due to his inability in freeing his spirit from material veils, the Capricorn ascendants after confronting the rough weather and having been tossed around the different corners of the world would begin trying for attaining his real spiritual destiny and thereby attaining the tranquillity that comes after the tropical monsoon. The fact that Saturn is the ascendant lord should never be overlooked. Sindbad the Sailor got his riches and peace only after the long period of his trial, only when dross from gold was completely burnt out. Saturn makes life difficult and the Capricorn ascendants should never expect an easy-going life; but Saturn creates favourable conditions for imparting spiritual lessons to the individual. It is necessary for Capricorn ascendants to have a favourable Saturn. Whatever the circumstances, Capricorn-born must finally look homeward; they must ultimately begin the path of retreat. Mars and Venus are the best planets for Capricorn ascendants. But Mars and Saturn are enemies whereas Venus is friendly to Saturn. Mars is the lord of the 4th and 11th houses in the present case while it is exalted in Lagna. By creating turmoil and complications in matters relating to house, land and income Mars assists the Capricorn ascendants in attaining their destiny. Capricorn people must get money, sometimes suddenly, sometimes by adopting unfair means; sometimes marriage, illegal or legal, becomes the means for providing more money. The essential feature in this regard is the materiality of sexual relationships. Such persons always consider this vital aspect of human life as purposive, not merely for happiness and satisfaction of the partner. In some strong egos complete suppression of such activities particularly with a view to attaining psychic siddhis also indicates the same tendency of considering sexual energy as a means for some end--physical or spiritual. Venus is of special importance. Being friendly with the ascendant lord, it would do everything possible to please him. The essential nature of Venus, generally speaking, is to provide material pleasure. It is related to wine, women and wealth. These things will have immense attraction to the Capricorn-born. From the opposite sex, the Capricorn-born individuals derive much of their sustenance. Their creativity and profession are intimately connected with Venus. Capricorn personality will tremendously change after the first Venusian contact: marriage is often a turning point for such persons. Profession of these individuals is indeterminate. The exact form of job is not so much important as the essential experiences derived from it.

As it is, the basic temperament of Capricorn ascendants would be hardboiled, and weather-beaten; they would have wrinkled forehead and much varied experiences to convey. This is their ultimate destiny. They do not lack either intelligence, sociability or initiative, but nothing in their life is stable. Throughout the rough life, they may remain lonely endeavouring to understand the intricacies and mysteries of life without establishing any grip either on themselves or on the circumstances facing them. This trait would be reflected in the nature of their avocation as well. The central push would be towards making the individual inward-tum. He can under this circumstance become a superb philosopher, a literary figure, a physician, an occultist or even an intelligence officer. The worst that can happen to such an individual is to make him a civil servant where his initiative is killed, where his talents are thwarted and where the daily routine with its monotonous impact makes the individual introvert to enable him to realise that the first great truth in life is sorrow. He may even get a job where his intelligence could be valuable, but even there he would be made to feel that there is something more than intelligence in life. He may have great energy for social contacts: liaison, wine business, and purveying in objects of art might prove successful. But even these lines of activities would make the individual feel that there is a great chasm existing between himself and the articles he is dealing with. We can state that the conditions could be such which would make the objective environment induce subjectivity in the Capricorn ascendants to such an extent that their emotion becomes self-centred which may make them feel lonely, heartless, and murderous with anti-social elements predominating in their personality. The finer feelings of friendliness, love and affection are just means to an end to them. Ordinarily speaking, such persons might appear as selfish, but in fact it is their self-centredness which is due to their subjective trait of nature. These characteristics must derive their sustenance from the profession of the individual. As an engineer, he may feel that he is instrumental in getting gigantic bridges and buildings constructed but commensurate with these activities his income would be meagre which might even induce him to take bribes. But on the higher planes with evolved souls, this sign might enable them to consider their profession as a means of earning bread and therefore a restriction imposed on their inner freedom; with this understanding of the chasm between the objective and the subjective states of affairs, they gain their dispassion and stability in life and wrinkles on their forehead. The most fruitful effort for Capricorn ascendants is to try to achieve tranquillity of emotions. The Moon, the ruler of emotions, would be exalted in the 5th house and in his own house in the 7th. These are important houses. Balanced development of the person would take place only with unruffled emotions. In fact this is a truism and applicable in every case, but as far as the Capricornborn persons are concerned, this is of vital necessity. They are liable to be easily tense and feel despondent. This can be avoided only with control over emotions. With this attainment, such individuals can confront the trials and tribulations of their life with fortitude. Philosophy involving religious discussions, studies, pilgrimages and veneration of the elders do not attract such individuals as much as faith in individualism, egotism and even in brutal human powers in order to demonstrate supremacy of will over matter. Such persons take great delight in exhibiting their will-power, intelligence and personal endeavours successfully executed. For them, there is the philosophy of action or of complete renunciation but not of gradual unfoldment based on understanding and discipline. To sum up, the Capricom ascendants are very powerful personalities. They have their egos very much developed. They are material minded. They are self-centred. But circumstances force them to

look upward and to think of returning homeward. This happens after intensive material involvements and much stormy life. When the storm is over the individual may find himself in the realm of Higher Intelligences--Dhyanis—who are working in this cosmos for carrying out the Will of the Lord. Mysterious Initiations are possible for these individuals. The most useful effort for them is to maintain tranquillity of emotion and control over their passion. Capricorn is an important sign opening the mysterious portals for the individual to reach higher realms of existence which would complete the birth-death cycle for him. Capricorn Dr. Shanker Adawal Capricorn described: This sign is lorded by Saturn, is Tamoguna and its element is earth. It resides in the south and is strong in night. It rises with its back, has an unwieldy or huge body is variegated and wanders on land and in forests. It is quadruped in the first half, and is foot less in the Second half and glides in Water. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, and its symbol is the Mountain Goat. Capricorn is an Earth sign, conservative and ambitious. Note- (There are two types of goat, so there are two types of Capricorn native. In the country India where astrology must have begun, the goat is a domestic animal, a sad-looking creature kept to provide milk. It is seen limited to the sphere of activity by the rope to which it is tied. If free, it is stopped from making its way through the surrounding hedges of its field by the wooden cross bars on its neck. It has nothing to do, but eat what it can find and give its milk. Many a Capricorn person has this sad, long face and seems to spend his life in a very limited sphere, debarred from wider enjoyments, strictly keeping to the main point in life, which is provision of sustenance for the family by practical sensible work. He never ceases his efforts to “get some-where,” but actually goes round the same stake on the same rope for ever. However, the mountain goat or antelope is a very different animal. Gaily leaping from crag to crag, he mounts higher and higher in his search for what is good. The phrase “to play the giddy goat” is now applicable. This other type of Capricorn native has a delightful sense of humour and yet is never trivial. His common-sense and practiced ability never desert him. He constantly aspires to higher and higher positions, ambitious to get to the top in whatever sphere of activity is his). The one trait that best describes those born under this sign is ambition. Their lives are devoted to achieving something, whether it be an intellectual discovery, meeting a personal commitment, fulfilling a business obligation, or some other lofty objective. Capricorn native have a tireless drive to accomplish their mission and they plod on methodically until they succeed. Like their symbol, the mountain goat, they are steady and sure-footed, and take few risks on the way. Capricorn native are highly intelligent and take naturally to positions of authority. They are excellent administrators and use every tool at their disposal to organize, plan, and problem solve their way to their goal. Capricorn native constantly strive towards security, and they regard hard work and financial rewards as ways to secure their well-being. They only desire money because it is a guarantee against whatever the uncertain future holds. Capricorn native are very confident and have great faith in their own abilities. Often, they feel that they can only depend on themselves, and this is sometimes misinterpreted by others who think them cold and detached. This is far from true, however, as Capricorn native can be very sympathetic and understanding. Just when you least expect it, Capricorn native can show you an excellent sense of humour which is wry, witty, and very funny.

Some of those who had Makar Lagna are Herbert Georgewells, Edward, Duke of Windsor, Madhavrao Sadasivrao Golwalkar . Capricorn Lagna - Light on life by De Fouw & Svoboda Capricorn's symbol in Jyotish is the Makara, a word which " usually translated 'crocodile' but also indicates a sort of generic sea - monster. The makara symbolizes ambition, both by the ferocity of its bite into its prey (its goal) and by its amphibious nature, which betokens its aspiration to master two elements (Earth and Water). This ambition is particularly strong because Capricorn is the tent h house of the natural 7.odiac, because Venus is the lord of the fifth house of speculation and the tenth house of career, and because Saturn is exalted in the tenth house of a Capricorn ascendant. Mars for Aries lagna is also exalted in the tenth house, but Mars frenetically pursues fast progress, while Saturn stands for the slow, steady, behind-thescenes, gradual sort of progress that often comes later in life. Slow progress in career becomes particularly pronounced for Capricorn because Saturn is the slowest of the planets, and because Capricorn is both a passive rashi and an Earth rashi. As with Aries, the lord of a Capricorn lagna is debilitated in the fourth house, which often presages a dissatisfaction with family life, ancestors, roots and property. Because Venus ts the lord of the fifth house of offspring, however, Capricorns arc famous for doting on their children. Mars, the significator for property, is exalted in the first house of this ascendant as lord of the fourth house of property and the eleventh house of gain; this betokens gain through property. The native may be concurrently dissatisfied with any property gained, since Saturn, another of the property significators, is debilitated in the fourth house. Capricornians tend to be moneyminded because people who have been seized by Saturn, the lord of the first and second houses here, tend to become miserly and stingy. Saturn, who (being dry) is the Vata significator, promotes a Vata constitution for Capricornians, inclining them to long slender bodies, sometimes to the point of gauntness. Arthritis may also be indicatecl, because Capri corn is an Earth sign, and Earth is opposed to movement. Some texts state that Capricornians are religious hypocrites because Jupiter, the significator of spirituality, rules two dussthanas (the third and twelfth houses) and is debilitated in the first house of a Capricorn ascendant. We have also observed that people who have an interest in India often have major placements in Capricorn, particularly because its lord Saturn represents conservative, old things like tradition, and because Saturn enables people to plod toward their goals patiently.

The Sign Makara (Capricorn) Makara (Capricorn) is the ninth sign of the zodiac extending from 2700 to 3000 and governed by Saturn. The asterisms in this sign are the last three quarters of Utharashadha, Sravana (full) and the first half of Sravishta. The first half of Makara is quadruped while t.he latter half is watery. It is symbolised by a creature with the head of a stag and a lower body of a reptile. The transit of the Sun into Makara is an important moment and is known as the Makara-Samkrama. Makara is movable, feminine and is earthy. It is Prushtoadaya and strong at night. The sign is described by Parasara in his. Hoara-Sasthra as Mandaesas-thaamasoa bhoomi: Yaamyaet eha nisi veeryavaan Prushtoadayee bruhatgaathra: Karburoa vanabhooehara: Aadow chathushpadanthaethu Dvipadoajalagoamatha: (V 19-20) (Makara, governed by Saturn is of thaamasa quality, of earth principle, dwelling in the south, strong at night, rising with hinder parts, of bulky body, of mixed colours, moving through the woods and land, the first half is quadruped and the later half legless, and travelling in water) It is also described as a lame sign, for example Jaathakapaarijaatha describes "Mrugaanana-schapadhae rescha pangussandhidwayee naasakarow bhavaetham" Makara is inimical to the Sun, neutral to Moon and Mercury and friendly to Venus. It is the sign of exaltation to Mars and of debilitation to Jupiter. It may also be noted that Mars is exalted in a Saturn's sign whereas Saturn is debilitated in Mesha governed by Mars. Makara is neither a long sign nor a short sign; it is of even length, Being a quadruped sign (first half) it is strong if it happened to be the tenth house in a chart, As the second half is a watery sign, it is strong if it becomes the fourth house in a nativity. It would be not very difficult for you now to predict the nature of Makara natives. The qualities of the sign and its lord modified by the lordships of the different houses from the sign have to be properly blended. Makara natives usually would not be very strong or even weak with delayed

growth. The body is more likely to be tiny and not fleshy. Receded eyes, hard straight hair, thin face and slight bent in old age are possible. They would be patient, thoughtful and moderately spending. In all their work there would be a systematic approach and quickness; they would be leading in several matters if they want. They are afraid of criticism and complaints by others. They take care to be free from the influence of others and they do not come very close to anyone easily. But once they become friends, they maintain the relation permanently. Makara natives are usually lucky and also cunning. If Saturn is favourable they would be straightforward and trustworthy but if Saturn is unfavourably disposed in the nativity, they would be greedy, selfish, stingy, crooked and would not hesitate to do any sinful deeds. Also such natives would never have any earnestness in their work and usually would have a strong tendency to postpone everything in a go slow attitude. Even if Saturn is favourable success in enterprise is possible only gradually and not abruptly. Makara natives would not have to be disappointed in reaching their aim, but would have to work hard. Makara borns have Venus as the lord of the fifth as well as tenth houses and so they would be liking arts and entertainments. They would always have friends and partners with them (Moon being the seventh lord). Saturn being exalted in Thula, the tenth from Makara is not unfavourable. Makara natives have the possibility of becoming top politicians and they would not be hasty at all. Makara sign represents the Knees of the Kaala purusha and. Mercury is the lord of the sixth. Hence malefic association of the sign or its lord would indicate diseases such as fractures, lameness, leg afflictions, Rheumatism skin diseases, nervous troubles, windy diseases etc. The combined periods ruled by Saturn, Mars and Moon and the asterisms of these planets might be death inflicting. Saturn is the lord of the second (Makara) and Mars is the lord of the eleventh (Baadhaka position for movable signs). Generally Makara borns would be rather conservatives and they can constantly work for their success inspite of obstacles. They could always hold the wish to acquire wealth, fame and honour. Instead of seeking unexpected and abrupt income they would work for a constant and definite income. But some of the natives with unfavourable Saturn would go after black money too. Moderation in expenditure is their characteristic and as such they never waste their money. They have a special ability to manage financial matters. They have also the habit of saving for the future. Strong and favourable Sun associated with Saturn indicates for the Makara native employment in government institutions, local bodies, public concerns, mines etc. Many would earn by rent. Benefic Moon-Saturn relation indicates dealings in petroleum products animals etc. and building bunds, tanks, ponds, wells etc. Mars-Saturn combination indicates professions such as dealing in metals, masonry engineering, tool making, cement etc. When Mercury and Venus are favourably related, the native may become engineer, detective novelist, philosopher, teacher of mathematical sciences, detective officer etc. Favourable Jupiter Saturn relation, indicates doctor, scientists and employment in education judiciary or finance departments. Venus Saturn relation if favourable and the native would be connected with medicines minerals, leather, slaughter house etc. or sometimes renunciation to become a sanyasin. Weak Saturn may make the native to be associated with burial ground. Makara natives do not show desire for early Marriage. Generally many of them would have to lead a large family and they never escape from the responsibility. They do not show their affection

explicitly and exhibitive. They like calmness and solitude and dislike noisy atmosphere. They would back out during quarrels in family and would never involve direct encounters. They would acquaint themselves with all but their intimate friends would be very few. Due to their skill in pleasing conversation, they get an honourable position during quarrels. Those born in the asterisms of Mars (Mrigaseersha Chitra, Sravishata) and of Venus (Bharani, Pooram and Poorvashaadah) would be favourable to Makara natives. As Mars, the lord of the fourth house is also the lord of the eleventh house there is possibility of earning through the mother, vehicles etc. but it also indicates the possibility of suffering for the mother. Makara natives can keep their emotions concealed. In sexual matters too they are extremely cautious in their approach to their partners to such an extent that they might be misunderstood. Devotees, soldiers, wholesale, corporation, municipality, immovable properties, agriculture, animals, amphibians, those with no procreative power, masons, builders engineers, footwear, coffin, cement, brick, mortar, snow, skeleton, crocodile, alligator, fishing net, knees etc. are all associated with Makara. Undergtound rooms, solitary rooms, hospitals, rehabilitation centres, jail, burial ground, tomb, cattleshed, barren land, pits, caves dark room, old buildings, temples, forest, storerooms and huts are the places associated with the Makara sign. Friday, Tuesday and Saturday are favourable for Makara natives. Tuesday and Sundays would be expensive, whole Monday is the day of legal affairs. Saturday is good for investment and Tuesday for signing documents. Wednesday is good for long journeys. It would be better to abstain from any important transactions on Monday and Tuesdays. Red, white and blue are favourable while yellow and ivory colours are not. Diamond, blue Sapphire and ruby are lucky stones. As in the case of other signs, here also what have been described are only the possibilities for Makara natives. The results for each native would have to be read carefully from the nativity by the skill of the astrologer. Each house must be separately analysed with respect to house, its lord and significator. Also one would have to consider special combinations, strengths of planets and also the sequence of Dasas. Partial judgement will lead only to partial success which might, in predictions sometimes becomes synonymous with failure. Therefore be extremely cautious in prediction. According to parasara, the nature of the different planets towards Makara natives is as follows Kuja jeevaendava: paapah subhow bhaargava chandrajow svayam hanthaa na Manda: syannighnanthyaaradayoasubhaa: samoa bhanurnigaditha: Kaviraeka: suyoagakruth Nakroadayee prajaathasya Jnaeyam aethat phalam budhaih (Bruhatparaasara hoaarasasthram XXXV -38,39) (For the Makara native Mars, Jupiter and Moon are malefics while Venus and Mercury are benefics. Mars etc. are Maarakas. Saturn is not Maaraka itself, Sun is neutral and Venus alone is YogaKaaraka). This must be remembered when judging the Makara native's chart The general nature of Makara ascendant is described by Varaahamihira as follows: Nithyam laalithavaan swadarathanayaan dharmadhwajoadha: Krusa: Swarksha:kshaamakatirr gruheethavachana: soubhaagya' yuktholasa:

Seethaalurmanujoathascha Makarae sathvaadhika: kaavyakrut Lubdoagamya: jaaraana ganasow nirtha santhyuaktha lajjoaguna: (Bruhajjaathaka XrvI-J 0) Though this sloka is descriptive for a native with Moon in Makara the same would be the indications for Makara ascendant as well as is evident from the last sloka of the same chapter. According to Varaahamihira Makara natives would always fulfil the desires of wife and children would act against all Dharmasasthras but would dupe others by making them believe that he is virtuous (in deceiving other). The lower part of the body would be thin eyes, would be pretty, would be learned in several sasthra (or be learned on the spiritual side) would be liked by all people, would be unskilled in work, be lazy, be hunting, cold be of a travelling nature be strong and writing poetry and other literary work be stingy, would be interested in old women who are forbidden by age or status or the like would be devoid of shame and sympathy.

Weak and afflicted Saturn may cause you to be lazy, careless and cowardly in nature. You may face or experience social humiliation or lack of respect in your professional network. There may be physical injuries or deformities, specifically related to lower half of the body. If both Saturn and Sun are badly disposed; this may cause you to suffer from accidents, failures and setbacks in life. If, at the same time, the Moon is also weak/disturbed; this may also cause longevity issues and disturbed marital life.

The planets Mercury, Venus and Saturn are most auspicious planets for Capricorn Ascendant; and sometimes, the good placement of any one of these can generate strong positive results during their Mahadasa. Venus becomes the Yogakaraka planet for Capricorn Ascendant people. And, it is not only capable of generating auspicious Yogas but cancelling/diluting the other inauspicious planetary influences on the horoscope. Mars, Jupiter and the Sun are inauspicious planets; and, capable of damaging the positive attributes of the planets/houses under influence. As lord of seventh house of your Lagna Chart, the Moon becomes the Marak planet; and capable of causing physical or mental sufferings, specifically when it (Moon) is lacking the Paksha Bala. The union of Mercury with Venus generates a strong and powerful combination (Yoga), specifically when both these planets are well placed and safe from combustion. The combinations of Saturn + Venus and Saturn + Mercury are also auspicious for your horoscope. Involvement of Jupiter or the Sun in auspicious combinations is capable of destroying the fruitfulness of the positive Yogas as well as generating negative planetary influence instead. The union of Mars with Jupiter usually generates financial problems; though, it is supportive for journeys and foreign travel. The best placement of Nodes (Rahu and Ketu) takes place when both these planets are exalted. Exalted Rahu in fifth house can give easy and strong success in professional and social sectors; while, the exalted Ketu in eleventh house is also supportive for financial matters. The only requirement is that there should not be concentrated influence of Jupiter, Mars and the Sun on Nodes. Besides this, Rahu’s disposition in first or ninth house is also supportive. Debilitated Rahu, placed in eleventh house of Lagna Chart, is not auspicious and capable of generating significant inauspicious results in terms of profession, financial and marital life. Professional sectors related to manufacturing, training, administration, police, metal, fire, politics, education, engineering, fashion, movies, acting, agriculture, and trading are usually most suitable for you. Banking and finance are usually not observed to provide any strong and stable growth for Capricorn Ascendant people. The best part of being born in Capricorn Ascendant is being industrious, persistent and determined in their approach. They rarely get influenced by others and prefer to have and lead their own ideology in life. They are also good in identifying black sheep among their social and personal circle. The weak part of your personality and nature is being too much curious and introspective, specifically in personal and family relationships. They may remain suspicious and doubtful over the integrity of closed ones; and may lack domestic and mental peace in life. Sometimes, their being too much practical about the things and situations may offend or confuse others. Cautions to be exercised: If you are born in Capricorn Ascendant; you should be extra careful about the following: Marital relationships: Marital relationships and family life usually remains a big cause of concern for Capricorn Ascendant people. The primary reason is the lordship of Moon over seventh house; which is a very fast moving planet and is vulnerable to get weak quite often. Besides this, the lordship of Saturn over the first house of your Lagna Chart may also cause you to be a bit selfish, greedy or demanding in your marital and close relationships. Therefore, you should try to give due time and space for your close relationships and family. Social circle and friends: The social and friend circle of Capricorn Ascendant people is also remains a good cause of concern for them. You may remain quite occupied in making your endeavors towards your professional and social goals; and, thus some chances of your close relations trying to encroach upon your professional and social authority, entrusted to you, are also there. The primary reason

behind this is the lordship of Mars over fourth and eleventh houses of your Lagna Chart, due to which the family and close relatives may be demanding and or dominant. Vices and health: This aspect is also to be looked upon with a bit more attention, specifically if Moon and/or Mars are having relationship with Saturn. The involvement of Rahu, under such circumstances, may tempt or compel you to get into drinking, smoking or other vices. The lordship of Saturn over the second house also makes you more vulnerable to such things. Therefore, the health may remain a bit unsatisfactory; and you may suffer from early aging.

Capricorn Astrology Capricorn is the zodiac in which the sun travels from December 22nd to 19th January. The zodiac is known as "Makar" in Hindi. Astrology defines symbol of the Capricorn as goat, or a being with the head of a deer and body of a crocodile. The ruling planet is Saturn. The constellations formed under the Zodiac are Uttara ashadha, Shravana, Dhanishtha. The zodiac of Capricorn is at the receiving end of the full effects of gloomy and stern Planet called Saturn. There is nothing aggressive or flashy about the people born under it. Everything seems to be submissive and subtle. Yet Saturn is the planet that rules the final outcome. People of this zodiac face life with a calm, serious perspective, slowly making their way to top. They are the ones to succeed eventually. And why not? Capris are far above passion, aggression, display of emotions and fickleness. Hard work, discipline, diplomacy and focus on their ambition come naturally to the rooted, down to earth folks having close vibes with Saturn. People under this sign seem quite friendly and harmless. They often are. But their opportunism and reverence to success makes more vulnerable souls their indirect pray. They thrive on other`s flaws to prove themselves strong. They are highly ambitious people who never give in to laziness, ego and emotions. Usually they are epitome of efficiency. Capricorn people respect tradition, power and authority. And their whole life is devoted to gain these very objectives Though this sign is highly materialistic, many Capricorns are known for their deep spiritual wisdom (Our own swami Vivekanandji is one inspiration). It all depends on where the efficiency is channelised. But more often than not, Capricorns are focused majorly on making their niche in social or professional circle. Usually, both. They are the ones to take responsibility and ambition very seriously, Especially when it comes to family. They are the caretakers of the family, who will not compromise on family values no matter what. Naturally, such burdens added with gloom leads to loneliness, worry and various ailments related to it. Much often, along with the passage of time, a Capricorn

learns to cope up with his duties and starts enjoying life. Each one of them is endowed with earthy sense of humor. Many of them are quite artistic, and sophisticated than the surroundings they were born with. It is usually a pleasant experience to have a conversation with them. Their impeccable manners and down to earth humble attitude make the other person completely relaxed in their company. They are the most dependable and loyal people. Their devotion to their family and relatives knows no boundaries. Capris often adapt the role of quite, but highly responsible role of a leader in an organisation, as well as family. Anything with them has to a matter of the long run. Life with obstacles is of no consequence to them. They know naturally how to avoid hurdles or to endure them bravely, to gain the only things that matter; namely success and family. Such stubborn, shy people with gentle manners make a strong social circle and few loyal friends. It is often said that Saturn is the planet that brings gloom, obstacles and hurdles to life. But then it also rewards a person with enduring success when a person emerges victorious from the trial period. At the end phase of life, when saturnine people realise that they have done their duty, and done it well, they relax and Saturn releases them slowly with several rewards of family, friends, reputation and success. Then Capricorn comes out in the sunlight, with an unusual wide grin on their face. After all, they are the ones to deserve the last laugh. Health: The natural state of taking mental burdens, added to their serious mental attitude incurs many a health problems. Still, theses people have amazing stamina to speak of. The zodiac rules bones, skin and hair. Problem areas can be knees, joints, eczema, leprosy and dislocation of bones. Career: Capricorns are the most efficient and organised people of all. They are extremely practical and career conscious as well. They are good in administrative fields, where the Saturn ruled leads the herd with a single mind towards success. Capricornians usually become the backbone of any organisation. They excel in any field that bring security, social grace and money for them. A few of them are artist. But even then, these people approach a career in arts with practical viewpoint. Romance: A Capricorn is essentially a family person. Even if he is in love and is serious enough to marry, emotions take a secondary stand. Practical matters come first. The mate has to be intelligent and graceful enough. A family oriented attitude is a must. Also, Capri`s own family has to approve of the alliance. Only then a Capricorn will give the mate his respect. Devotion is followed by love. A Capricorn may be so occupied by his own family, career and being correct socially, that a wife/ husband might actually wonder where does the priority of spouse stands. The fact that a Capricorn is often a loner will also add to the worry. But as you will start showing that you are dependable and trustworthy, you will get more and more significant standing in Capris choices in life. Then he will be able to release his romantic side with full faith in you. And you will yourself see how reliable and loyal he stands for the entire lifetime. His love wont be wishy washy, even though it may take time to bloom, but he will reward his mate with an honor and trust that very few lucky people receive. A lifetime achievement award is usually the best kind!! A Scorpio usually complements Capricorns. Taurean, Virgo or Leo also suit their temperament. They make good homemakers with Pisces and cancer. The compatibility doesn`t fare well with Gemini. With other signs, astrology compatibility is dependent on other factors. Your Lagna (Ascendant) is Capricorn Capricorn Appearance

The Pure Capricorn Native He is practical, cautious, responsible and ambitious. He will work hard if it is going to get him somewhere. He will bear with limitations and frustrations since his very nature is conditioned to them. It is through the realization that success is achieved through the willing acceptance of necessity, which, he wins through in spite of all obstacles. “Saturnine” is well understood as meaning gloomy or grave, but the Saturnalia, the festival of Saturn, was a time of gaiety and fun. In love as in everything else, he is cautious. Before taking on the responsibility of marriage, he will want to be very sure that he is safe in his choice. Once satisfactorily married “he is likely to be happy, as he is a natural good provider,” and knows how to “husband” his resources. “She” will be economical and will run her house well, and will aid her husband in the social side of any “climbing.” Overstress or misuse of these traits will mean too utilitarian an attitude to life, too stern a behaviour to younger people. Economy can become mean and miserly. Love of punctuality and orderliness can

become a reason for fussy nagging. Cautious looking ahead can become a selfish counting the cost before any action is taken. Inhibition of his natural traits will be caused by being subjected to a careless, disorderly type of life with no possibility for advancement. Reaction will be the seeking of “place” by mean ways. As a child the Capricorn native is sometimes a “slow developer,” like the Earthy Taurus. The Saturn period is that of older life and he may be expected to come into his own all in good time. He should be made to share his toys and not hoard them for himself only. Physical Characteristics: The darkness of Saturn is usually in evidence, both in skin, hair and eyes. There is a bony look, especially about the knees and knuckles. A typical signature is the presence of long deep creases at the sides of the mouth. The face is often long. Usually a grave, serious bearing. Diseases: Diseases which limit, such as rheumatism, Orthopaedic troubles, Embryologists show that the endocrine glands and the central nervous system are formed from an infolding of the outer layers of the developing embryo, so they may be said to be related to the skin. Skin eruptions often follow a nervous shock. This may explain some of the skin troubles of this sign. Way of living: The Capricorn person is at his best in any sphere, where his natural urges can be reasonably expressed. He is therefore better in routine work or in the organizing of work on such lines.

Bhava 1 = 1st navamsha = 1st from Makara Chandra Appearances= Makara = Capricorn Bhava 1 = Appearances, Physical Form = competition for social validation . In order to win the competition a person needs to be born with a healthy, vital, well-coordinated combination of physical behaviors and social traits. Lagnesha Shani -Saturn: Karmic Cleanup rules a natural Bhava of enemy Kuja. By character, the Makara native is materially savvy, orderly in personal habit, and respectful of social rank. In particular, the native favors a Shani-style careful, step-wise method of self-definition and ultimate residence at the top of some variety of social hierarchy (Barack Obama, Queen Elizabeth II, Swami Vivekananda) The Makara native seeks to develop the physical personality identity through association with prestigious public activities, leadership responsibilities, and qualities of the father's family history.

Makara natives self-identify as persons of dignity and capability, particularly in tasks associated with social ordering and governance.. The social personality has an inherent affinity for entitlements of bureaucratic office, hierarchical function, and organized group formations. the native is particularly influenced by thefather's familyof origin andthe spouse's mother. the native 's identity is particularly influenced by one's social rank(whether favorably or not); one prefers a lawful response to life. Makara natives are generally hard-working, procedural, respectable folk who have a strong sociolegal interest in executive leadership.. They strive to maintain a competitive but regulatedpersonality and physical appearance. Makara Appearance = Chandra-Makara Appearance depends significantly on the Shani's condition - rashi, sthana, co-tenants, drishti, etc.. Makara-lagna = a vata-influenced = blue-toned cast to their complexion, a very slightly opaque bluestone-colored patina (ranging from blue sapphire to darkest lapis-azuli) relative to the genetic pigmentation patterns of one's people. Lagnesha Shani's condition along with the lord of the Moon's nakshatra = determiners of the ultimate outcome of the physical appearance. As a general rule Makara natives have highly conventional fashion taste and auric appearance with few remarkable distinctive physical features. The Makara native intends to acquire positions of public respect, and to do so one should look recognizable, rather like Everyman. Except for the slight tendency toward a bluish complexion, Makara represents the solid center norm for their gene pool. Aquarius in the Second House. If Aquarius falls in the second house the man has a harsh speech. He earns by dint of his own labour. If Saturn is strong he is wealthy and respected. His mother has a good number of elder sisters. His wife lives long. If Saturn is weak, he loses financially through his own fault and wrong judgement. His mother has death of elder sisters. 2nd House Aquarius: The presence of a second house Aquarius suggests that a person is impersonal about money and possessions. This is mainly because the second house is related to material values and security. It can thus be directly related to personal possessions and general prosperity. The presence of a second house Aquarius also suggests that the material factors will never rule such a person’s life. It actually deals with your sense of values and how you view your security. Factors related to the second house show such a person how he may spend and acquire his wealth. The presence of a second house Aquarius also signifies the importance of all the material assets in a person’s life. A person with a second house Aquarius is usually creative and also original in his methods of earning wealth and other material resources. With this placement, it is common for individuals to have ups and downs in income. People with a second house Aquarius usually earn money through free lance methods and do not stick to a particular job. Income also comes from capitalizing on opportunities related to technology and modern science. A person with a second house Aquarius is usually spontaneous in his earnings. Such a person is impulsive and very nervous when he spends money. A person with a second house Aquarius is a risk taker and takes chance when it comes to finances.

house Aquarius makes most of his money. Such a person is usually related to some kind of a corporate enterprise. This corporate enterprise becomes his main source of money eventually. Since Aquarius is fixed air, we have a stubborn need to innovate, be original, and break forms in the house with Aquarius on the cusp.

A powerful Saturn will indicate that the eldest child of the native would be a prosperous and well placed person in life. Such a Saturn will also be good for the mother. If Saturn is in the second house, the elder brother/sister may continue higher education through correspondence. Aquarius: Earnings from farms, gardens and water resources, utilization of wealth in the service of religious persons. Aquarius acquiring the second house provides to the native immense wealth out of flowers and fruits and enough money through men to feed the noble people and wealth of great men for performing noble deeds. Aquarius: The influence of Aquarius on the second house suggests that you are spontaneous in your earning, very impersonal about your possessions, and material factors are secondary on your life. You may have unstable means of earnings and most of your earnings may be from creative and free lance methods. While investing money you are very judicious and inventive. Bhava 2 = 2nd navamsha = 2nd from Makara Chandra Values, Treasuries of wealth and knowledge, family history, collections and acquisitions, food Dhana Bhava-2 = Kumbha = Ordered Networks Shani -Saturn + Rahu rules a natural Bhava of Shani's good friend Shukra. Values are conceptually ordered and scientific in character, but there is an element of socially progressive belief and values-based behavior . Kumbha moves out of the rigid, reliable 'social pyramid' model of elite governance and into the more flexible, less steady 'lateral network' model of popular governance. Kumbha features a distinctive mix of Shani + Rahu in 2 (values). the native holds a treasury of knowledge and material wealth that expresses conventional interpretations of elite-governed social law-and-order plus several unique "Kumbha-esque" tenets of conviction that some minority or social underclass group should enjoy sudden Rahu-style upliftment into a higher social station. the native 's own family-history ideology, style of talk and song, artistic and historical knowledge may be reduced to the common and banal, but Makara's values are directed in part by Rahu, and one will therefore "push the envelope" to develop multi-cultural, multi-ethnic values while the family history(2) is indeed for the Makara native a grand unity of the Human Family. Earned wealth is set by bhava-11, but ability to retain wealth is determined by bhava-2. When Shani + Rahu rule bhava-2, the more conservative practices for wealth-hoarding appeal to the native but one is also capable of taking great risks with one's accrued savings. There may be astonishing wealth due to exotic conditions in the family history or to one's remarkable knowledge of history

UK-Queen Elizabeth II (Shukra in Kumbha-2, accepts drishti from Rahu-6) Rahu swakshetra Das says of Rahu/Kumbha/2: "Rahu will be helpful in securing a good bank balance, but your relationship with others will not be harmonious. You will regard other people the way a predator regards its prey ." Pisces in the Third House. Jupiter becomes the lord of the 3rd and the 12th houses both bad. Hence if Jupiter is weak, it creates "Vipreet Raja Yoga" and gives good riches. If Jupiter is strong, the native is blessed with younger brothers.

If Jupiter is aspected or influenced by malefic planets, the native suffers losses and expenses at the hands of his younger brothers. 3rd House Pisces: A Third house Pisces makes a person curious in nature.

They possess a great tendency to execute their plans in accordance of the plan. Their creativity helps to achieve success in every aspect of life. Despite of being highly imaginative, their relationships often fail due to lack of interest and monotonous life. Their mind is like a free bird and does not tolerate any kind of binding. The best way to communicate to people with third house Pisces is to get yourself involved in their ideas and imaginations. One needs to be a part of their fantasy world to become a part of their life. Pisces: The native will be born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His wife will love him. She will be well behaved. He will have children and friends. The owner of the third is Jupiter which is also the owner of the twelfth house.

Optimistic mental attitude. Mental health tends to be good unless Shani aspects bhava-3, and of course depending on the condition of Guru.

The planning and administrative processes may be exceptionally optimistic, to the verge of Pollyanna thinking. operate with extremely positive expectations and a childlike belief in human goodwill. Not mentally organized unless Shani or Budha influence Bhava-3. Tends to substitute blind trust for rational planning. However if Guru is well disposed, their trust is rewarded. Motivated by hope for a good outcome for all, but oddly can become a liar and hypocrite. Not a 'detail person': can fabricate (Budha) information or tell an improved (Guru) version of the truth in order to enhance the big-picture outcome. Master of the "white lie". (and believes this can be done with impunity). Expansive Guru does not ken to rational limits on thoughts or rules for processes. If Shani casts drishti upon both Budha and Guru, the native may face serious conflict between belief and reality. Often this is resolved in a mental state of "cognitive dissonance" in which the native holds two contradictory claims to be equally true. Thus the normally pleasant and positive Makara native may endure mental illness when faced with bitter truths which they cannot, philosophically, accept. Looks for the good in everyone, regardless of facts to the contrary. Extremely sympathetic. Likes religious company. Often found in very large spiritual congregations, due largely to their 2nd-Bhava global connectivity values. Likes to talk about children, charity, and their religious beliefs. Very giving people who socialize easily. Enjoys event planning, holiday parties and travel, fantasy environments. Childlike trust in siblings and neighbors.

Bhava 6 = 6th navamsha = 6th from Makara Chandra Budha -Mercury: Mental Narrative Imbalance: Enemies, Debt/Finance, Illness, Livestock/Pets, Servants Ari Bhava-6 = Mithuna Budha is a very impressionable graha and the state of Makara lagna's health depends largely on the condition of L6+L9 Budha. As skilled rationalizers, these natives can hide their own health realities from their physicians and themselves. However, they can be articulate exponents of good health for others! Famed for their "do as I say, not as I do" advice :) (See bhava-3 for their advertising, spokes-person, talkative style.) In general, Makara natives have few enemies. They prefer to talk their way through disagreements. Masterfully subverts overt conflict into covert verbal manipulation. Lagnesha Shani considers Budha to be a friend, but Budha is also the lord of the bhava of animosity for the Makara lagna. The total outcome of Budha's influence is overall rather neutral - neither a greatly positive nor a greatly negative effective. Budha adheres to Shani's "social order" directive, and as a result the Makara native tends to prefer to articulate a socially conservative "party line" which expresses the arguments of the social elite who promote the "law and order" social model. bhava-6 = 5th-from-2nd is an important money Bhava, showing one's fortune from speculative investments (5th-from-2nd).

Budha is not disturbed by immoral business practices (6) e.g. usury, trafficking, racketeering, theft rings, other exploitations. Elaborate money-lending agreements (6) are their specialty. Often found doing skillful mental work on the legitimate side of an illegitimate business. They get into trouble during periods of the 6th lord just like everyone else, but Budha being L6+L9 they are usually rescued by their own cleverness. Many friends in low places.

Bhava 7 = 7th navamsha = 7th from Makara Chandra Chandra -Moon: the Whole Mind Balance and Rebalance: Marriage, Partnership, Agreements, promises, negotiations, contracts, Yuvati Bhava-7 = Karkata Chandra rules Marriage, Alliance, Contractual Partnership, Union will inevitably fluctuate. Naturally, whichever bhava is ruled by Chandra the Lord of tides and flows will fluctuate. the native will experience an emotional ebb-and-flow in the primary committed partnerships, be they business or personal, throughout life. The most nurturing and parental qualities in marriage are developed during periods of Chandra. Security Marriage is framed by deeply emotional expectations of security and protection from predators. One prefers a spouse with pronounced parenting and nurturing qualities. (Whether this taste is satisfied depends on the character of Chandra.) In married life, Makara marries to recreate the early childhood home and to recover the feeling of protection one received (or had hoped to receive) from the physical security of the Bhava and from the parents. Even the business partnerships are oriented toward stability and security, and protection from undue risk. Makara females tend to marry males who similar traits to one's mother. Makara males marry women who resemble the mother both physically and emotionally. Mother Makara lagna natives are often born to negotiating, brokering, contract-making mothers. One's instinctive need for achieving emotional satisfaction through deal-makingand forming alliances isliterally nourished by the mother's milk. Like Budha, the Moon is enormously impressionable. Happiness and fidelity in married life will vary extremely according to the disposition of the Moon. However, in general, unless Rahu interferes, the main feature of the marriage partner is his/her deep emotional alignment with the place-based ethnic culture of one's childhood home. In a male nativity, the wife may bear a remarkable resemblance to his mother. The primary aim and purpose of the marriage, from the native 's point of view = the provisioning of a safe and comfortable home and pursuit of caretaking or parenting activities. Regardless of education she is likely to prefer to live as a Bhavawife. In a female nativity the husband is involved with the oceans, or with schooling, or with matters of early childhood home life and protection. Also he may engage with Bhava and vehicles, or patriotic defense. The first marriage partner's behaviors must be culturally compatible with one's parents' lifestyle. The Maraka native marries not for romance or fortune, but for emotional security and contentment. Usually the Makara native enters marriage for the express purpose of starting a family in order to perpetuate the conservative and conventional values of one's parental line (in particular, the

mother's line). The marriage contract is based upon a mutual interest in parenting and caring for the land. Should Chandra join with Rahu or Ketu, the partners may forego the public bans of marriage, preferring to seal their commitment with the birth of a child. If they do marry it is for the welfare of the family and not a concern for their own reputation. Particularly when Karkata is the rashi upon the 7th navamsha, the spouse should be a landowningand home-basedperson, very much attached to place, with a strong sense of custodial relationship to the local environment. Such a native whether male or female is a gardener, a parent, a patriot, a hearth-keeper, and a schoolteacher. This person may have a strong affinity for the ocean or for any type of liquid which moves in a regular cycle. The downside of this placement also involves liquids. If there is also a disability of Shukra, the potential for alcoholism, drowning, flooding, or other situations signifying an over-engagement with liquids. Contracts, agreements, legal discussions, all types of advising are approached emotionally, according to intuition and immediate feelings and needs. Family interests dominate the marital life. Overall happiness in marriage varies a good deal, and is dictated by the health of Chandra. In general this native is conservative in their marriage motive. If children are present in the marriage they are not much willing to divorce. Yet contracts are approached emotionally, so if the native 's feelings have been deeply hurt they may indeed go look for another spouse/parent who could do a better job. ~~ Bhrigu SutramCh. 2 4 Shloka 11 "If, during birth, the Cancer or Moon's Navamsha be descending, the husband will be very passionate but quiet." ~~BPHS Ch. 80, shloka 22-25 If at woman's birth, the 7th bhava or the setting Navamsha be a rashi owned by the Moon, the husband of the woman will be love-sick and gentle. If Surya occupies Karkata-7, according to Behari, "You will have a loving spouse but they may suffer from bilious diseases. The Sun in this sign may destroy the marriage bond, but there is a great chance of becoming interested in paranormal phenomena. " (L-8 in 7) "You are not content to work merely on the physical plane of existence, but are interested in establishing a link with the secret unknown. You may be a doctor or engineer. Your spouse will be good looking but tightfisted, impressive, good at public dealing, a good host, kind to servants and a helpful partner. " Leo in the Eighth House.

This attitude is not necessary to give negative results since the native is intellectual in his approach and most of his views are based on careful analytical study and research. There is a tendency to fight change and maintain his status in the society. The native is rather fixed in his own direction and tends to take up from the point where others have left off.

Bhava 9 = 9th navamsha= 9th-from Makara-Chandra Budha -Mercury: Mental Tasking Ceremonial Religion; the Temple; Priesthood; Guru; Professor; University; Wisdom; Father; Religious teachers and beliefs; Divine Law Dharma Bhava-9 = Kanya = Wisdom-Teachings Although the native enjoys luxurious (Laxmi) material acquisitions (yogakaraka Shukra) and one needs a socially ordered lifestyle (Shani), the Makara native favors a religious dogma based in a Ministry of Service (Kanya). the native believes in the righteousness of one's path of service and sees oneself as the "servantleader" type. Whether the native can practice what is preached is determined by Budha, and the lord of the 9th from Chandra. Budha is a skillful rationalizer and due to His lordship of Ari Bhava, Budha also naturally finds engagement with the worlds of exploitation and crime. Therefore the Makara native must be very careful to avoid hypocrisy and double-speak. However if the 9th-from indicators are pure throughout the nativity, the native may develop into an inspiring preacher, professor, and spiritual guide. Even when Makara follows the more typically pragmatic religious patterns in which one's own behavior is rather obviously rationalized, one may easily do good by inspiring others Makara can deliver reasonable, convincing religious speeches and acts of the hands (Budha) (just remember that Budha is the dharmic L-9 -- AND -- the deceptive L-6!) The inspiration and consolation of Religion is easily accessible to Makara-lagna natives, but it comes in a mentalized form. It is generally easier to talk about philosophy and repeat a scripted litany rehearsing statement of convictions, than it is to "walk the talk" by acting consistently upon the tenets of one's faith. One enjoys conversing about religion, ritual, and priestly teachings. However commercial Budha tends to view the entire exercise of 'profession of Faith' as being essentially an elaborate business transaction. The profit expected from this transaction include social validation and acceptance into valuable new communities (Kumbha-2). An easy faith arises in their lives, due partly to their chameleon ability to mimic the beliefs of others. Budha is an adolescent graha; the native 's faith also has an adolescent quality. Because Surya, the karaka for social ethics, rules the destructive 8th domain, the native is not much engaged in ethical inquiry. Nor is he concerned with matters of deep reflection, nor cosmic truth. Rather, religion for the Mrigadriz native is a project of thinking good thoughts, making good choices, and participating in

the scripted worship of their chosen tradition. They enjoy attending sermons and watching complex rituals being performed. Unless Budha is damaged or Rahu occupies bhava-9, the native tends strongly to remain within the religious tradition of his upbringing. He is generally uncritical of his faith or that of others, but he enjoys discussing matters of religion and society from a journalistic point of view. Libra in the Tenth House.

It is an excellent planet for the chart for Capricorn ascendant and if it is powerful, is capable of giving the native not only power and status but also plenty of wealth through his children, entertainment or speculation. The native may gain through women. This can be further analysed in the manner similar to Taurus in the fifth house. Bhava 10 = 10th navamsha= 10th-from Makara-Chandra Thula = Libra Shukra -Venus: How We Love Public Status: Career, Profession, Public Dignity Thulabeing a sign of balance and good design, the Makara native's public life including career, begins with social advantages. Unless Shukra is harmed, the native is graced with a pleasant public appearance. He is professionally disposed toward balanced relationships with both men and women. He is well-mannered (in public) and well-liked. Periods of L-5+L-10 Shukra are beneficial indeed. Career development proceeds along social lines. Native raises prestige by accepting responsibility for wining, dining, and amusing his associates - according the taste and style of Shukra. E.g. Shukra/Kumbha has an eccentric, inclusive, sometimes vulgar entertaining style; while Shukra/Meena hosts with musical and artistic elegance. Shukra/Kanya is awkward and overly mentalized in partnership, and so his career under Thulamay not well flourish. If Shukra is strong, the native 's success is due to his ability to manage a wide range of interpersonal relationships, and to establish balanced and beneficial relationships between numerous third parties. This talent extends to executive work in any sector of the economy. The foundation of the native 's public reputation is his skill for gracious entertaining (which includes their style of hosting business meetings and interpersonal conversations with superiors). If Shukra or Shukra's lord is strong, much success from social grace and intelligent relationship management. If Shukra or his Lord are not well empowered, the native 's taste and style are lacking. Scorpio in the Eleventh House. Mars in this case becomes the lord of the 4th house and as such does not remain a malefic planet. But since it is also the lord of the 11th house it again becomes a malefic planet according to the principles laid down by Maharshi Parashar. Hence Mars in its sub-period would give bad results. But these results, in our opinion are adverse only in so far as health is concerned, so far as the finances are concerned the results are not bad and the native may stand to gain in money matters, particularly if Mars is strong, in which case Mars is instrumental in procuring for the native property and houses. If Mars together with Saturn influences a house its lord and it's significator the native commits violence on the person denoted by the house afflicted by them. The reason for such an action on the part of the native is that Saturn becomes the lord of the Ascendant and as such represents the self of the man, and Mars being the lord of the 11th house represents the arms of the native i.e., again the self of the native. Malefic Mars and Saturn would in these circumstances give premeditated and deliberate action. For example if both Saturn and Mars aspect Venus and the Moon, the man would be deadly against his wife and may even go to the length of murdering her. 11th House Scorpio: A person with an eleventh house Scorpio is usually a very loyal friends.

He will be knowledgeable about Mantras and the science of Tantras and will earn through this esoteric knowledge. The native will be impatient with his friends and elder brothers/sisters and there will be disagreements with them. The owner of the eleventh house here is also the owner of the fourth house. The native will gain property and since Mars is also the significator for property, this result will be prominent in the life of the native if Mars is powerful. A powerful Mars will ensure that the native gets admission to the desired engineering or defence college. Such a Mars will afford wealth through children, entertainment or speculation to the spouse of the native. The eleventh house represents arm of the native. Therefore it is symbolically representative of premeditated action on the part of the native. Mars is cruel. Therefore if Mars influences the significator for a relative, the

native will be intentionally cruel to him. A weak Mars will be a powerful significator of death of the mother. This can be further analysed in the manner similar to Aries in the fourth house.

Such a person should allow himself the privilege and joy to be gained through discovery. A person with a twelfth house Sagittarius usually works behind the scenes. Such a person has all the dimensions worked out even before anyone has an idea about what you are doing. The higher ideals represented by this sign are locked away and kept hidden from view. A person with a twelfth house Sagittarius is secretive about his religious and philosophical matters. Such a person is cautious and calm on the outside. But, when he gets on safe ground or alone, he becomes humorous, joyful, and enthusiastic. Such a person finds it difficult to drop his guard in front of others as he has been cautious since his childhood.

A person with a twelfth house Sagittarius should be extremely careful of his close friends as there is a possibility that some of them may turn against him. This possibility will get stronger as such a person achieves more and more success. A person with a twelfth house Sagittarius should be very careful as his friends would not turn against him openly.

Life is actually the hidden support guiding and aspiring the thinking of a person with a twelfth house Sagittarius. Sagittarius: The influence of Sagittarius in the twelfth house produces a surreptitious planner. You figure out all the details before anyone realizes what you are doing. You do not like to reveal your religious and philosophical convictions instead you want to keep your thoughts and ideals to yourself. Though you are very cautious and cool outside but you are humorous, joyful and enthusiastic when you get on safe grounds or you are alone. Sagittarius: Gains through friends and relations, satisfaction of aspiration, animals prove fortunate. Sagittarius: He will be good at archery, be able to suppress his enemies and will get wealth from the government. The native will have spiritual experiences. He will have to face heavy expenses. He will have an urge to prefer solitude. Jupiter is the owner of the twelfth as well as the third house. It is also the significator of wealth. Since the third house is the eighth house from the eighth, Jupiter cannot give much wealth to the native in its major or sub-periods. Due to this ownership, unless Jupiter is very powerful, the native cannot expect to get rich in the major or sub-periods of this planet. If it is weak, it will restrict the number of younger brothers or sisters and cause losses and heavy expenditure to them. Such a Jupiter will also make them travel a lot and stay away from home. A strong Jupiter will make them comfortable, prosperous and happy and will make the native undertake successful journeys in connection with legal, philosophical or hospital work. This can be further analysed in the manner similar to Pisces in the third house. Dhanushya = Sagittarius Guru -Jupiter:Wisdom Expansion Bhava 12= 12th navamsha = 12th-from Makara-Chandra Meditation, Clairsentience, Imagination, Dreams Spiritual guidance, ancestors, past life, prayer Dissolution of physique; Loss of Identity, withdrawal Meditation, Sanctuary, Bedroom, Confinement, Private relationships hospitals, monasteries, ashrama enemies of marriage Distant lands, foreign residence, overseas assignment, long sojourn In its natural state, Vyaya bhava = a meditational inner sanctuary blessed by all-good Guru. the native enjoys unfettered access to healing imagination, privacy, and prayer. Ironically however, there is typically some loss of philosophical understanding, and the native may become quite confused (12) about the meaning of religion. the overlap of Dhanushya which rules spiritual teachings, scriptural study, preaching, priestly ritual, and the culture of the university-temple,

Expansive fantasy life, which normally is protected from view thus one's imaginative exploits produce little material trouble. Abundant opportunity for private Affairs du Coeur with typically minimal harsh consequences; for Makara, the seventh lord representing spouse is Chandra who has no enemies. Makara generally hold the optimistic (Guru) expectation that private dealings will stay private. Led by this positive expectation, the normal outcome is that understandings which are developed "behind closed doors" are well-intentioned and generate little negativity in material, social life. The agents of 'animosity toward marriage' = L-12 and graha within vyaya bhava = teachers and priests (Dhanushya) who offer religious and philosophical wisdom that distracts the native from the natural sensuality and materialism of Shukra-ruled marriage relations. Exception: papa-graha in dhanushya-12 Mangala in Dhanushya-12 makes the sexual vitality (Mangala) somewhat unreliable and for a male in particular the sexual imagination may drive the native to unwholesome expressions of the flesh. In addition the native may suffer from bursts (Kuja) of anger (Kuja) which may be troublesome in that the native is frequently unaware (12, imagination, unconscious) of their existence until a period of Mangala strikes. Rahu in 12 amplifies both the philosophical quest of Guru and the expedient, self-promoting instincts of Rahu. the native may travel to distant lands in search of opportunities to escalate one's launch to the top of whatever pyramidal hierarchy attracts the ascending instincts. Charity Barring the presence of selfish graha such as Surya or Shani, the natural instincts of Dhanushya cause generous donations to charitable causes. Sympathetic worldview. Depending on Guru's character and the location of Shukra, opportunity for extramarital relationships throughout life. This native is a skillful rationalizer with L6+L9 Budha. Their mind does not demand that their behavior should match their beliefs. Rather, their imagination is deeply empowered by beneficent Guru, and their understanding of marriage as primarily a family/parenting venue opens the philosophical door to multiple, cheerful, educational, and generous extramarital relationships which do not harm the primary marriage unless Guru is somehow harmed by a malefic. Makara natives enthusiastically embrace charitable projects in foreign lands, and they welcome the opportunity to travel in the name of religion. Typically too active for serious meditation, they prefer active service to others as their most comfortable act of devotional prayer. Makara Lagna (Capricorn Ascendant) Characteristic tendencies: Saturn may give these natives perseverance, a strong sense of purpose, and the ability to bear life's difficulties with stoic calm. Capricorn natives are practical, ambitious, and responsible. They do not fear change and are flexible in their points of view. They are good at handling finances, and tend to be conserving. They are efficient and often successful in their undertakings due to their ability to work hard and remain focussed on the goals. Their practical aspirations that can lead them to great heights, although they may find little joy in their achievements. Their perfectionism may cause difficulties in marriage. At their best, they are philosophical and generous.

Capricorn: Venus and Mercury are auspicious. Saturn will not kill of his own being Lagna lord. Mars and other malefics may inflict death. Sun is neutral. Mars lord of 4th(Mooltrikona) and11th(Badhaka sthana) will give adverse results. Jupiter is lord of 3rd and 12th (Mooltrikona) so gives unfavourable results. The Moon is the 7th lord (Marakasthana) . perhaps for this reason Sage Parashara has said: Mars and Jupiter are malefics. Venus is the only planet forming Yogakaraka position and is the best YogaKaraka(being lord of 5th and 10th house)

Makara (Capricorn).—Venus is the most powerful benefic. Mercury and Saturn are also benefics. Mars, Jupiter and the Moon are evil, the worst being Mars. Though the Sun is the 8th lord, he becomes a neutral. Grahas/planets and Makar (Capricorn) Lagna. Mangal, Guru and Chandra are malefics, Sukra and Budh are auspicious. Sani will not be a killer on his own. Mangal and other malefics will inflict death. Surya is neutral. Only Sukra is capable of causing a superior Yog. Capricorn: This sign is ruled by Saturn and it rules knees, bones, joints and knee-caps. If Saturn is weak and this sign is afflicted by malefic then, the person born under this sign, suffers from the diseases of eyes, throat, teeth, joint pains, general weakness and thin body. It is a negative, earthy and semi-fruitful sign and if its ruler, Saturn, is weak then it signifies tact, cheating, lethargy and melancholy nature. Jupiter gets debilitated and Mars gets exalted in this sign. Capricorn rising gives good looks. The aspect all planets, except sun, is benefic to Saturn. It provides charm to the personality. Negative influence on weak Saturn give an appearance of a person advanced in age, sunken eyes, wrinkled body, etc. Blue sapphire is known as best suited for this sign. Capricorn Lagna Venus and Mercury are benefic for this ascendant.Saturn being Lagnesha is not a Marak. Mars being the lord of Ekadash cannot give good results.Sun is even in its behaviour.Sun in this ascendant is Ashtamesha.But Moon add Sun are not defected by Ashtama defect. Jupiter in Trityesha and its Mooltrikon sign Sagittarius is in twelfth house and gives bad results.Moon being Saptamehas is a Marak and gives bad results. In this ascendant Venus being Panchmesha and Dashmesha , due to which it comes yoga karaka and gives good results.

Capricorn (Makara): Lord of ascendant and 2nd house Saturn, 5th and 9th lords Venus and Mercury respectively give good results. There is a principle in astrology that Venus give Rajayoga to Capricorns. Though as a lord of 10th house Venus is supposed to give bad results (Kendradhipathya dosha), he will not do so because of his friendship with lord of ascendant, Saturn and the same will be transferred to other planets positioned in its sign, navamsa or constellations. As a lord of 3rd and 12th, Jupiter is killing planet for Capricorns. Mars as a lord of 4th and 11th (as badhaka) give moderate to bad results. Mercury as a lord of 6th house transfers its malefic results to some other planet positioned in its sign or constellation or navamsa. Moon as a lord of 7th house acts as a killing planet to Capricorn more particularly if it is waning in the natal chart. Sun as a lord of 8th house cannot give good results. CAPRICORN Sun: The Sun, as ruler of house 8, shows the tendency of Capricorn types towards excessive willfulness. They have a dark sense of themselves that can manifest as destructive ego or on a higher level, as the destruction of the ego. This can manifest as a selfish materialistic attitude in life. On a psychic level, it can create a black magician. It can also give the capacity for profound research. Once this will is mastered, it can create the strongest of spiritual aspirations, the will to negate the ego. The Sun is very inauspicious for them. The Sun as the ruler of the eighth can destroy the ego. They have internalized a sense of unworthiness that causes feelings of criticism as a personal attack. This is what makes them seem defensive. These issues may have originated from their father. Sun: Lord of 8th house if weak then life will be short and loss of wealth etc. However, if strong then gives good results like wealth, honour in its dasha. If weak & ill aspected then shorten the life span & mode of death should judge from the nature of planet influence the 8th house & Sun. The defect of ownership of 8th house does not apply to Sun. Hence If Sun is strong it will give good results i.e. will indicate good longevity, favour from Government and financial gains. The mooltrikona sign for the Sun is Leo placed in the eighth house. The Sun is a functional malefic in the Capricorn chart and owns the most malefic house, but if it is strong and not aspecting any other planets or houses at the most effective point, it will enhance the father's longevity and one's inheritance. Since the eighth house signifies one of the houses for marriage, then it can boost the prospects of a harmonious marriage. If the Sun is weak, then there will be troubles to the father and the person may have a shorter life span and there will be obstacles and difficulties in life. There will be losses in speculation. The Sun can afflict any houses when it is within the five-degree range of the most effective point and therefore can bring about obstacles, illnesses and accidents to the individual. The Sun owns the 8th house. Therefore, he is essentially inauspicious. Weak and afflicted Sun: Short life if Jupiter, too, is in similar position, lack of inheritance, trouble to father and loss in speculation. Surya L-8 from Makara lagna, Makara Chandra, Makara navamsha Great pride in one's occult knowledge; confidential information; understanding of the great mysteries; grasp of the movements of the cycle of death and rebirth Swami Vivekananda William Butler Yeats Maharishi Mahesh Yogi- "TM"

Jeddu Krishnamurti Satya Sai Baba (Puttaparthy 1929) Surya = mutual arch-enemy of Lord Shani L-8 Surya = a bitter pill for Shani-ruled Makara. As a fierce enemy of lagnesha Shani, ego-promoting Surya causes social awkwardness and psychological frustration for the careful, cautious, law-abiding Makara native. Cool, orderly, status-conscious, step-wise Shani wants to live in a world where all existence conforms to a fixed set of laws. Makara natives are born into a worldview that favors social-group conformance. Shani loves fixed and reliable conditions, large coherent institutions, systematic order, and the rule of law. Shani wants everyone to believe the same truth, adhere to the same principles, and behave in a predictable regulated routine fashion, at all times. Shani hates any kind of innovation, egocentricity, or change. Brilliant blazing with Light kingly Surya = karaka for Divine self-within, soul, and genius expressions of personal intelligence. As L-8, Ravi controls the hidden world of confidential information, healing secrets, and intensely transformative identity changes. During periods of L-8 Surya, the Makara native may experience a blazing hot sudden jolt to their interior rule of law, caused by an unexpected upsurge of an inner clarion call to individuation from the group. law-abiding Makara usually works quite hard to suppress this outburst of independent intelligence. Periods of L-8 manifest as personality disturbance, even anti-social behavior. If Surya is weak by placement, periods of Surya may generate secret or covert self-assertion behaviors. E.g., in my files : (reported by a family member) Makara female of the most staunchly conservative and pious religious display, a model "Churchwoman" of the Emerald Isle who stood election for town council position using an anti-pornography campaign. When a village police report printed in the local paper mentioned their sainted mother's name in connection with a prostitution arrest, her family was shocked to discover her hidden life. Mama had maintained a well-concealed habit of cruising the lowest sort of red-light bars. Her custom involved various short-term encounters; however she adamantly refused money payment, accepting only the evening's liquors and the occasional bouquet of flowers in return. L-6 Budha = prostitution + L-9 Budha = public religion, Exacerbated by sexualitykaraka L-7 Chandra in hidden Simha-8. (reported by an ex-fiancée) A midlife male Makara native; financially successful but twice-divorced; known as quiet, hardworking and reliable in his Structural Engineering firm. His need to be the center of attention only emerged at large socializing parties when he had too much to drink. He "transformed" (8) into a ego-maniacal show-off personality that stopped at nothing to get applause. Said the ex-fiancée, "now I understand why such a pleasant, reliable, professional man could have so many divorces". Exacerbated by uchchamsha Surya vs uchchamsha Shani Look to Surya's rashi-bhava to discover more about the characteristics of the ego-shock Shani hates egocentricity (kings, politics, theatre, genius). Shani hates change. L-8 enforces change. L-8 Surya enforces egocentric change. Oy.

Surya periods = sudden, forced changes in life. bhava-8 gives a sudden, forced turning of the cycle of birth and death. the native will be introduced to shocking, brilliant, and perhaps overwhelmingly powerful, secret information. Moral integrity and faith in the power of divine healing will allow the native to handle life-and-death responsibilities with noble strength. Surya must be strong by rashi. Ravi will also rule one Bhava vis-à-vis Chandra. Assess the characteristics of Surya's Bhava, from Chandra lagna, for a fuller appreciation of Surya periods. Events should be predicted largely from Chandra lagna after the age of 50. Career Because Surya = karaka for professional career visibility and public recognition, and Ravi = L-8 for Makara lagna, the Makara native is somewhat disposed toward to accept public roles and professional leadership responsibilities within secret , dangerous, or mysterious areas (8) and emergencies or catastrophic events (8) . Example environments include hospital emergency room, confidential banking, money laundering , state secrets, espionage, midwifery, surgery, healing, yoga-tantra, magic , shamanism, revolution, sudden, violent change ; explosives, and eruptions of previously hidden force. Remedial Ratna for Surya - Manika (pure Ruby) for Makara Lagna from: ~~ Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology. Ranjan Publications, New Delhi. p. 90 "For Capricorn (Makar) Ascendant, Sun is lord of eighth Bhava. the natives of this Ascendant should avoid wearing Ruby as far as possible because not only is Sun lord of the 8th a very inauspicious Bhava but also the Sun is a bitter enemy of Saturn, the lord of Capricorn Ascendant. If however the Sun is in his own sign in 8th, Ruby may be worn in the major period of Sun. That will give long life to the native and he might benefit from an inheritance. Ruby should not be worn if the major period is not likely to be operative during the life time of the native ." Moon: The Moon, as ruler of house 7, indicates their strong need for relationship to balance out their generally cold disposition. It shows their strong social sense, which is not really sensitive but rather detached, controlling or political. The Moon is generally neutral but some consider it inauspicious (as a benefic ruling an angle). The Moon rules their seventh house causing emotional extremes with their spouses, they may attract needy partners, but of high intelligence. They feel they need a relationship. Moon: Check the Strength & placement of Moon. A benefic lord becomes Kendra lord, so it is malefic. If it is weak then gives good results. Moon- As lord of the 7th angle Moon a natural benefic ceases to be a benefic. Hence for financial purposes weakness of Moon is a desirable feature. But we think that a strong Moon away from Sun is good for finances. The mooltrikona sign for Moon is Cancer, placed in the seventh house, will ensure the person a happy married life and wealthy parents-in-law if the Moon is strong and not afflicted. A stable relaxed inner state of mind will incur enabling the person to enjoy even the simple things of life as the disposition is not under emotional stress or strain. If the Moon is weak and afflicted, then there is upheaval in marital life with loss of mental peace. There will always be some emotional disturbance in the relationship and partnership field.

The Moon owning the 7th house is a Maraka. If the Moon is bright (strong) then as benefic, she additionally acquires Kendradhipatya Dosha and her Maraka characteristics get a boost. If the Moon is deficient in rays (weak) then she is simply a Maraka for his malefic nature. Weak and afflicted Moon: Inharmonious relationship with spouse, loss of mental peace, difficulty in acquisition of immovable property and having domestic happiness if Mars, too, is weak and afflicted. Marriage, Peer Relationship, Contracts, Advising Chandra L-7 from Makara lagna, Makara Chandra, and Makara navamsha Chandra regulates bhava-7 therefore in later adulthood the relationship with the partners esp marital alliance will be powerfully influenced by the tidal emotions of acceptance, rejection, belongingness, and prodigal return that were once practiced with Mother. The highly fluctuating and impressionable Chandra regulates contracts, agreements, alliances, and peer-to-peer relationships. Chandra's condition will determine the quality of counselling and advising relationships in the native's personal and professional life. The closest advisors will be women, beginning with mother and grandmother. After marriage, a man will find his wife to be his most influential advisor in all matters. For both genders, presuming Chandra is in good condition, many alliances led by women. For a woman, her own mother remains her closest counsel. Excellent for women in legal and diplomatic practice (presuming Chandra is well disposed). Periods of Chandra = intensification of the physical and emotional self-image as the container of value in promise-making behaviors, contractual activities, negotiation of partnerships personal and professional, and deep emotional consultation between the human and divine aspects of the Self. Chandra in 12 for Makara lagna may experience withdrawal of the spouse into private reverie, perhaps due to partner's relationship to "enemies of the marriage" (6th from 7th = 12th). However after age 50 this signification largely evaporates, and the native becomes emotionally identified with the partnership. Remedial Ratna Mukta = moti = pure natural Pearl for Makara Lagna Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology. Ranjan Publications, New Delhi. p. 94 "For the Capricorn Ascendant Moon is the lord of the 7th, the Bhava of death (maraka Bhava). Moon is also an enemy of Saturn, the lord of the Ascendant. Persons with this Ascendant should avoid wearing a Pearl. However, pearl can be worn if necessary, in the major period of Moon, [only] if Moon is in Cancer, her own sign." Mars: Mars, as ruler of houses 4 and 11, shows their desire for property and income. It also gives them a harsh or penetrating power of mind that can, if afflicted, lead to violence. It is inauspicious. Mars as ruler of the fourth and eleventh causes difficulty from the mother due to Mars' malefic quality. They will strongly desire and acquire wealth through property or real estate possibly from the mother. Mars: It gives Mixed result in its dasha & Bhukti, if strong then it increase income, gain from property, but bad for health & long life to mother, if weak then less income & shorten life span of mother. Mars is not bad as it gets exalted in the Lagna.

Mars- Mars owns 4th and 11th houses. It therefore, gives effects of the 11th houses i.e., bad for health but good for wealth. If weak Mars brings about losses and less Income. The moolatrikona sign for Mars is Aries, placed in the fourth house and a good and unafflicted Mars especially in its dasha periods will activate the acquisition of assets, good education, alertness and a passionate married life. There will be happiness from the mother when Mars is strong. When Mars is weak and afflicted, then there will be loss of assets, disturbance in one's education and general setbacks in life. Arguments and impatience with the mother will occur. Mars is a natural malefic. He becomes neutral by owning the 4th (a Kendra) house. Again, Mars additionally owns the 11th (a Trishadaya) house. Thus, Mars finally becomes inauspicious and gives evil results in his Dasa for Capricorn Lagna. Mars here is lord of 4th and 11th houses. Being lord of kendra and exalted will give good results, whereas being 11th house lord it is malefic. So will give mixed results for this Lagna. When malefic, gives ill health. In case it is strong, blesses one with good finances. Exalted in Lagna and debilitated in 4th house. Weak and afflicted Mars: Loss/Lack of assets, disturbance in education, setbacks in life, lethargic. Kuja L-4+ L-11 from Makara lagna, Makara Chandra, and Makara navamsha Slow, careful, motion-averse Lagnesha Shani sees the aggressively moving, competitive Mangala as a hostile, warlike enemy. Shani is Old ; Kuja is New. Shani obstructs; Kuja invades. Shani resists change; Kuja forces movement. Vital and competitive Kuja controls bhava-4 = home-and-country bhava-11 = marketplace gains and large assemblies. Periods of Mangala = physical vigor and dominating behaviors in parenting and school-teaching, (4) fierce patriotism, (4) surge of passionate defensiveness in protection of the ethno-cultural folkways, (4) a return to school or obtainment of new passport, new residency permit, deeds of title, license, diploma, various cultural legitimations (4) gain of new friends, new networks, new, (11) raising of funds for new development, community activism. Mars will also rule two Bhava vis-à-vis Chandra. Assess the two Bhava from Chandra for a fuller characterization of the expected events in the narrative that flows from one's core expectations and beliefs during Mangala periods of the Vimshottari Dasha. Events should be predicted largely from Chandra lagna after the age of 50. Badhaka--sthana L-11 Mangala = the badhaka lord for Makara lagna (Badhakaor"harming"Bhava = the 9th from a fixed lagna, 7th from a changeable lagna, and 11th from a cardinal lagna.) bhava-11 from Makara lagna = Vrischika = harm-causing domain. Cardinal ( moveable) lagna typically has some trouble from the elder sibling, from friendly association, from the marketplace, from the nature or method of setting goals, from achievements and profits. If Shani occupies Vrischika or Mangala-Ketu are damaged in the nativity, expect some considerable troubles with the network of friends and associates during periods of Mangala. the native may suffer

isolation or the identity is oppressed by sudden upheavals in the network or selfish actions of a mentoring friend. Periods of Mangala may bring forward an agent in the figure of a friend, mentor, elder sibling, or marketplace associate, who (often inadvertently) causes harm to the native via aggressive or selfishly competitive behavior, causing destructions of the network, and leading to adversarial behaviors within the network. This badhaka agent must be handled with compassion, in the knowledge that this harm-causing agent is merely a projection of one's own unrealized instincts to behave competitively when expanding one's associations with new people and new ideas. Difficult graha in occupation of labha bhava or Mangala drishti upon bhava-11 may exacerbate the badhaka agency. Remedial Ratna for Mangala: Red Coral = munga for Makara Lagna Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology. Ranjan Publications, New Delhi. p. 98 "For the Capricorn Ascendant, Mars is lord of the 4th and 11th Bhava. By wearing of Red Coral in the major period of Mars, the native will acquire land, property and conveyances will get domestic harmony, happiness from mother and gains of wealth. " Mercury: Mercury, as ruler of houses 6 and 9, shows their ambivalence towards principles and ideals, which can lead to opinionatedness or conflict. On the positive side, they can be extremely hard workers and give dedicated service to manifest materially what they really believe in. It is generally auspicious but can function negatively if the lord of the sixth is afflicted. Mercury is the ruler of the sixth and the ninth houses. There is a competitive need to be right and authoritative with their beliefs. They can be very self-righteous. On the positive side they can be hard working toward manifesting their spiritual beliefs. Mercury: Lord of 6th and 9th houses. So give results of 9th house, if weak then gives bad results like loss from enemies, to father & other evils results, Mercury, though the 6th Lord is also the 9th Lord and is a bit of a mixed planet. Mercury- It owns 6th and 9th houses. Its Mooltrikona sign falls in the 9th house. Hence if strong gives quick rise and promotion, favour from Government officials. Income from trade and the like. If week it indicates losses through enemy action or through even ones own uncle. The mooltrikona sign for Mercury is Virgo placed in the ninth house. If Mercury is strong and unafflicted especially from the malefic Sun, then it will strengthen the nervous system which will in turn strengthen the person's good fortune, relationship and health of the father. It will make one less erratic and therefore stabilize them in their quest for a deeper understanding of life rather than keeping them busy in mundane issues. If Mercury is weak and afflicted and most probably aspected by the malefic Sun (as eighty per cent of charts are aspected by the Sun) then there will be a lack of good fortune, struggles in one's life and much nervous pressure. The erratic Mercury will constantly sway the person away from deep connections and there may be difficulties with the father. Mercury owns the 9th (a Trikona) house. Therefore, he is auspicious vide Sloka 6. But being also the 6th (Trishadaya) house lord, he is inauspicious vide Sloka 6. This blemish of Mercury vanishes away, if Mercury gets related with Venus, another Trikona lord. A great Yoga is created, if Mercury and Venus occupy the 10th and 9th house respectively. This is called Dharmakarmadhipati Yoga. Here, Mercury and Venus exclusively behave and function as 9th and 10th house lords. Weak and afflicted Mercury: Poor parents, average life, constipation, nervous. Budha L-6+ L-9 from Makara lagna, Makara Chandra, and Makara navamsha

Lagnesha Shani sees L-6 + L-9 Budha as a good friend .. Budha views Shani as a neutral party. Conversational and sexual Budha loves to talk, think, argue (6) and preach (9). Budha = an especially strong influence in His natural domain bhava-6 As lord of bhava-6, Budha brings social conflict, exploitation, personal imbalance, mental resistance to marriage fidelity and a quick-witted avoidance of the terms of agreement. Budha also increases the frequency interaction with conflict-management agencies such as medicine, criminal attorneys, military, and police. On the plus side, when this native gets into legal trouble, one is nearly always able to talk one's way out of the dilemma. Budha is gifted in the art of the sincere apology. But the lord Kumara is also gifted in the role of the repeat offender. In particular, Budha can signify medical and mental issues with substance addiction and the psychophysical consequences of sex (Budha) addictions. (Addiction == a behavior which becomes so compulsory that it interferes with other necessary functions in work and family life.) As lord of bhava-9, Budha brings a mental engagement with religious principles and practices, affinity for sacred space, and personal priesthood. Because Kanya the moolatrikona rashi = identical to Makara's dharmasthana., Budha = usually religiously minded, although in a predictably orthodox fashion which is more oriented to public piety and less to private prayer. Budha can connect the Makara native to one's society through religious ceremony and collective prayer. University professorship, rank and title in religious organizations, and performance of acts of public piety. When Budha occupies the Makara lagna = a very public worshipper, whose specific religious affiliations are essential to the identity. If Budha is well-disposed, the native has knowledge of the sacred scriptures of one's own religious tradition. Swami Vivekananda = Budha in 1 parivartamsha L-1 Shani Jeddu Krishnamurti = Budha in 5 parivartamsha L-5 Shukra If Budha occupies a dualistic rashi such as Mithuna or Meena, one may grasp the meanings offered by the sacred writings of traditions outside one's own, as well. If Budha is prominently placed, such as in lagna or with Chandra, the native 's personality and behavior may appear contradictory or at least enigmatic. That is because Budha, the lord of self-narrative communications, is thus obliged to express both the profoundly religious mentality of bhava-9 and also the conflicted, agreement-dissolving thoughts of bhava-6. Hypocrisy and contradiction may become the external hallmarks of Budha in the Jyotisha kundali. However, rather amusingly, Lord Kumara is not disturbed by the apparent logical inconsistencies of seemingly incommensurable principled beliefs (9) and unprincipled actions (6). Budha is a master of superficial inquiry, simplified answers, trite responses, slogans and jokes. The native draws from a repertoire of rationalizations that deflect criticism and prevent further inquiry. Unless Budha is strengthened by a parivartamsha yoga, sober drishti of L-1 Shani, or yuti more grounded, accountable graha, Kumara in Makara may become an alcoholic priest, a sex-addicted preacher, a drug-dealing physician, or a pious, joking hypocrite .

One may also become a dedicated religious missionary with a tremendous administrative (Budha) capability, who nonetheless participates in exploiting (6) the very folk one is trying to redeem with wise sermons and sacred tomes (9). Budha is a rationalizer. Lord Kumara will usually develop a complex logical explanation supporting the underlying coherence of th behavior - including that most time-honored rationalization: simple denial. Yet, to outsiders, Makara lifestyle choices may seem to express a strong case of "cognitive dissonance". Periods of Budha = much contact with the service worker class or 'victim class'. the native or those whom one serves will be engaged in conflict and exploitation behaviors. Also, in equal measure, periods of Budha bring contact with religious teachers, scholars, and other wisdom-providers. Problems may not be solved during Budha periods but problems will be much better defined and articulated. Analysis and planning are favored. Budha will also rule two bhava vis-à-vis Chandra. Assess the two bhava from Chandra for a fuller appreciation of Budha periods. Events should be predicted largely from Chandra lagna after the age of 50. Budha = L-6 + L-9 = challenges to trust in peer relationships (6). However there is compensation from increased philosophical wisdom (9) and more attention to religious practice (9). For the Makara lagna, a well-placed Budha can be greatly helpful in the development of logical argumentation which is required in critical scholarship of religious texts. Argumentative Budha in the L-6 + L-9 role may produce some sort of an orthodox pandita. Budha is an especially difficult graha for Makara nativities in which Budha = L-6 from both radix lagna (material animosity) and Chandra lagna (emotional imbalance). Most challenging combinations include: Makara radix lagna + Makara Chandra Makara radix lagna + Mesha Chandra Makara Chandra + Mesha lagna Remedial Ratna: Flawless Emerald = panna for Budha for Makara Lagna Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology. Ranjan Publications, New Delhi. p. 102 "For the Capricorn Ascendant, Mercury is lord of the 6th and the 9th. In the 9th which is a trine (and therefore very auspicious) falls the Moola trikona sign of Mercury. Consequently wearing of an Emerald will be beneficial to the native of this Ascendant, particularly in the major and sub-periods of Mercury. As Mercury is a friend of Saturn, the lord of this Ascendant, the latter's gem stone Blue Sapphire can be worn always with advantage by the native s of the Capricorn Ascendant." Jupiter: Jupiter, as ruler of houses 3 and 12, shows the Capricornian tendency towards loss or sorrow through too much greed and manipulative attitudes. They can suffer through friends or alliances and are often forced to make it on their own. Jupiter is generally inauspicious for them. Jupiter as ruler of the third and the twelfth can cause separation between siblings maybe in age as well. There can be an arrogance that causes a sense of loss, or distance from others. Jupiter: Lord of two bad houses 3rd & 12th if strong then gives sibling but bad for self, if weak then bad for sibling but gives plenty of wealth and other good results. Jupiter is a malefic for this Lagna. Guru, even if debilitated can give Rajayoga provided Shani is placed in strength. Not everything in life comes without a price, if at all, so this placement can pose troubles to siblings if Guru is Neecha in Lagna.

Jupiter- It gives results of a bad house i.e., third, hence not good financially. If weak it may give results in this direction. The mooltrikona sign for Jupiter is Sagittarius placed in the twelfth house. As this is a malefic house, then it is best that there are no aspects given to other planets or the most effective point by Jupiter to the other houses. If this is the case and Jupiter is well placed, then the Capricorn ascendant will endure fewer losses in life and have happy sexual liaisons from time to time. Success in foreign travel and ventures is possible as well as protected life span. In a female chart marriage with male with foreign lands would be favourable. If Jupiter is weak and badly placed, then there will be losses in ventures or lack of success and for a female chart, it can be loss of husband or disappointment in relationship . There will be no happy sexual liaisons and could be problems to one's hips and liver(signification's of Jupiter). When Jupiter aspects any other planet or house, being the functional malefic planet of the twelfth house, it can bring about losses in which the planet aspected signifies. The Moon aspected by Jupiter could signify emotional loss of some sort. Jupiter owns the 3rd and 12th house for Capricorn Lagna. By the rules, we have to take Jupiter as inauspicious. That is, as 12th house lord, Jupiter gives results according to his 3rd house lordship, the evil results. Jupiter is lord of 3rd and 12th houses. Both houses are malefic. So the Jupiter will be malefic in own dasa and bhukti and indicates loss of wealth and other evil results of 3rd and 12th houses. If weak or afflicted, malefic results will be enhanced. Weak and afflicted Jupiter: Middle life span, loss of bed comforts, weak liver. Guru L-3+ L-12 from Makara lagna, Makara Chandra, and Makara navamsha Lagnesha Shani = mutually neutral toward Guru. Wise and expansive L-3+ L-12 Guru = in charge of communications and spiritual retreat 12 = 6th from 7th = Enemies of the marriage alliance. Guru-type inimical-to-alliance agency may include (ironically) religious beliefs, rituals, and philosophical teachers; one's own father; professors, preachers, priests, and spiritual guides. For example Jane Fonda wrote in her autobiography (and it was confirmed by her ex-spouse) that her passion for her Christian religious beliefs was incompatible with the balancing-act of her marriage to corporate executive and land investor Ted Turner. The day-to-day thought process (3) may become inadvertently inflated by fantasy (12) in the extreme when Guru suffers occupancy in His neechchamsha, this fantasy can produce an unrealistically optimistic Pollyanna attitude esp in regard to distant lands (12) and media-messaging (3). For example. Jane Fonda as "Hanoi Jane" in 1970's = expecting publicity photos (3) of her cavorting with the North Vietnamese (12) enemy military command, at a time of war, to have a positive effect on her American audience.) Handwriting (3) = large size (Guru). Charitable but often ineffective the native is very much inclined toward acts of charity (Guru, 12) yet the discursive process (3) required to plan and execute useful charitable actions is often lacking essential details, due in part to disability of Budha (above).

Therefore the native may engage in spontaneous acts of sympathetic charity with a tendency toward "rescue fantasy" (12) but in general on a material the actions are less than effective. Vimshottari Periods of Guru: Lord Guru is a traveller. L-3 and L-12 = Excellent period for philosophical and scholarly extended sojourn in distant lands (12) and craft-learning (3) such as writing, painting, drawing, other manual skills. Splendid opportunity for translation (3) of sacred (Guru) texts (3) if Budha is strong. Short-term travel (3) and longer-term travel that is actually foreign residence (12). Sincere attempts to succeed in commercial business and be cooperative in the office - but the old problem of a Guru-ruled shaja bhava which causes one to chat rather theologically at times when mundane talk is expected. This social gaff may need constant attention, Brihaspati will also rule two Bhava vis-à-vis Chandra. Assess these two Bhava from Chandra for a fuller predictive appreciation of Guru periods. Events should be predicted primarily from Chandra lagna after the age of 50. Guru ratna = pushkaraja (yellow sapphire) for Makara Lagna Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology. Ranjan Publications, New Delhi p. 108 "Jupiter will be lord of the 3rd and 12th Bhava and will, therefore, not be an auspicious planet for this Ascendant, and it will generally not be advisable to wear this gem stone by the native s of this Ascendant. It can, however, be worn, if necessary, in the major period of Jupiter if he is in his own sign in the 3rd or the 12th. Uttara Kalamritatreats Jupiter as a yoga giving planet for the Capricorn Ascendant but as said by Dr. B. V. Raman in his comments on the role of Jupiter in the case of Libra nativity, the views of Uttara Kalamrit are against the accepted rules of astrology." Venus: Venus, as ruler of houses 5 and 10, gives Capricorn a great power of success through an adaptation of grace to their strong but often unrefined nature. On a lower level, this may be utilitarianism, on a higher level, simple fitness of form where content shines unhindered by glamour. Venus is very auspicious for them and gives Raja Yoga. Venus is the best planet for Capricorn ascendant. It is the Yoga Karaka by its rulership of a Tricona (fifth house) and a Kendra (tenth house). Like their opposite (Cancer) they can be brilliant with their career. Venus will give them charm and grace going about what they want. They are extremely creative and artistic. Venus: Lord of 5th and 10th houses becomes Rajyog Karka. A slightly strong gives good results for these houses in its dasha & bhukti Venus is the Yogakaraka and diamond is a good choice. Venus- As lord of a angle and a trine Venus is best planet for this Ascendant provided of course it is strong. If weak it denotes dishonor through son, loss of wealth, loss of progeny etc. The mooltrikona sign for Venus is Libra placed in the tenth house. When Venus is strong and unafflicted for the Capricorn ascendant, then the person's career will be ensured of success. This fact alone makes the Capricorn a very social person. The individual will have happiness in a career and could combine work and social enjoyment together. In a male chart, the person's wife could be active in the social and career realm perhaps mixing the both together. If Venus is weak and afflicted, then there could be lack of job satisfaction or a very static career. There could be losses in

business and a general lack of enthusiasm and happiness. The wife in a male chart could bring disappointments. Venus owns the 10th house (a Kendra) and therefore becomes neutral. Again he owns a Trikona i.e. the 5th house. By simultaneously owning a Kendra and Trikona he is termed Rajayogakaraka and gives all round success in his Dasa. He give greatly auspicious results or Rajayogaphala, if he is related to the 9th house lord Mercury. Venus becomes lord of 5th and 10th house i.e. a kendra and a Trikona. Thus Venus for this lagna becomes a yoga karaka, a planet of affluence and gives results accordingly. Weak and afflicted Venus: Losses in business, static career, lack of job satisfaction, less remunerative ventures, weak renal functions. Shukra L-5 + L-10 measured from Makara lagna, Makara Chandra, and Makara navamsha Shukra yogakaraka L-5 (politics) + L-10 (governance) = natural capability to lead and govern, either by royal entitlement (5) or by charismatic charm that facilitates successful democratic election. The Makara native is empowered, according to the strength of Shukra, to make decisions which provide social order and lawfulness, with special emphasis upon matters of : alliances, relationships, contracts, agreements, bargains, deals, matches, pairs, diplomacy, wealth, acquisitions, hoarding, food and drink, cattle, jewels, fields and forests, heritage and history, stories and songs, face and voice, recorded knowledge Swami Vivekananda, Queen Elizabeth II USA Pres-44, Barack Obama has a leadership style strongly defined by crafting agreements through the art of finding mutual interests, balance of entitlements, and political compromise generally the leadership style features partnership qualities of constant negotiation, preference for harmony and graciousness in the interactive behaviors, and appreciation of the value of Other Lagnesha Shani = best friends with Yogakaraka Shukra. Shukra gives excellent results in regard to matters of children, politics, speculative ventures, romance, professional respect, leadership roles, and public duties. The Makara personality typically exudes practical intelligence about money (Vrishabha = 5, intelligence ) and a characteristic "common sense" about there relationship between Time (Shani) and money (Shukra). Makara natives also as a general rules enjoy pleasant relationships, personal and professional, with females. Affiliation (Shukra) with "prestige" groups, labels, symbols, and status-markers especially marked by "conspicuous consumption" (location of the home, style of dress, professional title etc.) bring pleasure (Shukra) to the native . Males re: females Shukra has a special importance for males, because Shukra indicates their female partners - both personal and professional. The Makara male native will enjoy the company of women who exemplify qualities of 5 and 10. The wife of a Makara male will generally experience her gracious presence as contributing to the native's material enjoyment of children. As a rule (if other graha do not interfere) the marriage union will enhance a man's public reputation and dignity. Likely the wife will have a notable career and some measure of theatrical or political talent. Females re: Females

Makara women tend to seek the association of females who have higher social status and material assets. In other words, the Makara female prefers the company of women who dress in an elite style (5-10), have some political or celebrity empowerment (5) and who wield some measure of social leadership authority (10) -- or, women who ambitiously aspire to these empowerments, and who are perceived as actively climbing toward higher levels of social respect. Yogakaraka Shukra L-5+L-10Shukra is a powerful Yogakaraka for Makara lagna. (Shukra = also L-4+L-9 yogakaraka for Kumbha lagna) Depending on Shukra's full character (rashi, drishti, etc.) periods of Shukra are usually very beneficial for the Makara native. A good position of Shukra in the Makara lagna chart can compensate for many other difficulties. Shukra is best in any kendra, but especially in lagna where it makes the person physically attractive and brings much happiness from profession and children. As lord of two auspicious Bhava, Sweet and Sensual Shukra =Yogakarakafor Ena lagna. Shukra will also rule two Bhava vis-à-vis Chandra lagna. Assess the two Bhava from Chandra for a fuller appreciation of Shukra periods. Events should be predicted largely from Chandra lagna after the age of 50. Flawless Diamond (hira) for Makara Lagna Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology. Ranjan Publications, New Delhi p. 113 "For the Capricorn and Aquarius Ascendants, Venus will respectively be lord of the 5th and 10th and the 4th and 9th Bhava and, therefore, Venus is considered an excellent and Yogakaraka planet for these Ascendants. the native s of these Ascendants will do well in every sphere of their life by wearing a Diamond. In the major period of Venus, wearing of a Diamond is a 'must' for those who have faith in the divine power of gem stones. The results will become pronounced if Diamond is worn along with Blue Sapphire." Saturn: Saturn, as ruler of houses 1 and 2, shows how intimately their self-sense is bound up with work and livelihood, They are often harsh in speech and forced to work hard in life. Yet they are also self-disciplined and through their persistence can make great and enduring accomplishments in the long run. Saturn is generally auspicious as the lord of the ascendant. Saturn as the ruler of the ascendant makes Capricorn ascendants of a serious nature, and a bit hard to get to know. Saturn's rulership of the second house gives a serious tone to the voice. They mean what they say. They spend their money wisely for this was part of their early upbringing not to waste. Saturn: Lord of Lagna and 2nd houses gives good results for these houses like Highly Benefic for health, wealth, ambition etc. Such person is low in taste and have harsh speech unless benefic like Jupiter cast its aspect on Saturn and 2nd house. Will have long life, wealth, name and fame if Saturn is strong. If Saturn is weak then results are the reverse. Lorded by Shani. Pragmatic and practical people, good with managerial and functional aspects of life. Saturn- As lord of second and first house Saturn is a nice planet. If strong it gives wealth, honour, high longevity. If weak it cuts life short, gives losses, bad name etc. The mooltrikona sign for Saturn is Aquarius placed in the second house for the Capricorn ascendant. If Saturn is strong and inflicted, then the Capricorn ascendant will endeavor to acquire assets, pursue a stable relationship and ensure a good family life. They will slowly achieve the status desired as

Saturn is lord of the second house in this chart. If Saturn is weak and afflicted, then there could be failures in status and life with an unsuccessful marriage. There will be constant delays in life, lethargy, possible cheating and a melancholic nature. Since Saturn rules the ascendant as well although it is not the moolatrikona house, a weak Saturn will affect the body in the area that the ascendant signifies such as joint pains, weak knees and possible arthritis. Saturn is the Lagna lord here. Lagna is a Kendra as well as Trikona and therefore the Lagna lord is Rajayogakaraka. Saturn also owns the 2nd house a Maraka house. So Saturn should also function as death inflicting planet. But how a Rajayogakaraka planet can be a death inflicting planet certainly not. Saturn's Maraka powers are minimised. He can be somehow troublesome, if occupies the 2nd house with other inauspicious planets. Saturn by himself does not kill, unless there are other reasons for him to do so. Weak and afflicted Saturn: Ordinary or deteriorating status, loss of happiness in marriage, loss of wealth. Shani L-1+ L-2 from Makara lagna, Makara Chandra, and Makara navamsha Pragmatic and conventional Shani governs the physical body appearance as well as the lineage values of the family history including food customs. Should Shani be well placed, the native will lead a disciplined life and accrue stores of material wealth over time. As L-2 Shani who is a natural maraka also becomes a temporal maraka, therefore one who wishes to postpone death should avoid the Shani-ratna and practice the Shani-scarcity austerities such as conservative food diet. Shani will also rule two Bhava vis-à-vis Chandra. Assess the two Bhava from Chandra for a fuller appreciation of Shani periods. Events should be predicted largely from Chandra lagna after the age of 50. Shani also controls the second marriage, and for a female nativity Shani is also the primary karaka of the second husband, if any. The Maraka woman looking forward to her second marriage may consider wearing a beautiful blue sapphire on the longest finger of the left hand in order to encourage qualities of dignity, selfdiscipline, respect for order, and conventional behaviors in her forthcoming alliance with a second spouse. Remedial Ratna for Shani - Blue Sapphire (Nilam) for Makara Lagna Dr. G. S. Kapoor. (1994). Gems and Astrology. Ranjan Publications, New Delhi. p. 117: "For the Capricorn and Aquarius Ascendants Saturn is the lord of the Ascendant and Blue Sapphire should be worn by the native s of these Ascendants as a protective charm all their life. It will bestow good health, long life, prosperity, wealth, happiness and success in their ventures. The effects of Blue Sapphire will be strengthened if a Diamond, the gem stone of Venus, who is a Yogakaraka for these two Ascendants, is worn along with it. " Rahu from Makara lagna, Makara Chandra, and Makara navamsha Rahu = co-lord of bhava-2 Kumbha, therefore Rahu-ratna (gomedha) may become a beneficial gem for matters of wealth acquisition, stock-piling and hoarding, learnings in history and languages, second marriage, and expressions of voice and face such as song and appearance in story-telling imagery such as films.

However Rahu in the rashi of maraka Chandra = dangerous for Kumbha lagna. Even for the wealthand-knowledge target, the Rahu-ratna should be considered only if the lord of bhava-2 and its occupants are highly auspicious. Rahu and Ketu are said to give positive results in the 3rd, 6th, and 11th bhava from the lagna or from Chandra. In addition, some authorities posit that since R-K are exalted in Vrishabha-Vrischika (per BPHS), R-K will give good results when Mangala and Shukra are well-disposed. Numerous other schemes for evaluating the elusive aprakasha graha also exiSaint (More details in the summary provided by Dr. G.S. Kapoor .) Ketu can truly pose trouble for the chart. Ketu from Makara lagna, Makara Chandra, and Makara navamsha Ketu is co-lord of bhava-10 Vrischika, therefore Ketu-ratna may be a beneficial gem for matters of professional recognition and leadership responsibility -- but only if the lord of bhava-10 and its occupants are auspicious. Ketu's effects for makara lagna depend significantly on Ketu's bhava, rashi, and drishti. Ketu amplifies the effect of any graha who are sharing Ketu's Bhava; and also Ketu magnifies the effects of the lord of His occupied Rashi. Overall Mars and Saturn (malefic lords of houses 1 and 4) combined can give an aggressive mind that may be violent and seek power at all costs. The Sun may work in this way like Mars. Venus by itself gives Raja Yoga or great prestige. Venus with Mercury (rulers of houses 9 and 10) give Raja Yoga as well as spiritual development. Saturn and Mercury (rulers of houses 1 and 9) enhance spirituality. As a cardinal and earth sign, Capricorns act with force and substance. Their planets act slowly but strongly and often with an obstinate determination. They usually win out in the end through a longterm plodding action. Capricorn: The friendly planets are Saturn, Venus and Mercury. Capricorn Lagna Favorable Unfavorable Colors: Shining black, white, all Steel gray, dull smoke gray, shades of blue, green and orange and yellow red. Numbers: 5 1 Gem Stones: Blue sapphire, red coral, Gomedh, cat's eye, ruby and pearl, emerald, and yellow sapphire diamond Remedial Measures Observe law of the land meticulously (Upaya) Fasting on Sunday The sign Capricorn is ruled by Saturn. It rules knees, bone joints and knee caps. It is a negative, nonhuman, earthy and semi-fruitful sign. It signifies tact, cheating, lethargy and melancholic nature if its ruler, Saturn, is weak. If Saturn is weak, and this sign is afflicted by functional malefics, the person

born under this sign suffers from the diseases of eyes, throat, teeth, joint pains, general weakness, emaciated body, etc. Capricornians are social as Venus rules their tenth house. They are conservative, selfish and selective in approach. They are secretive, pensive, organized, proud and fastidious. They are vigilant and tactful. They have compromising nature in order to achieve leadership. Depending upon the strength of the planets, Capricornians are born to rich and well placed parents, get good inheritance, have pleasant temperament and are emotional in the matter of partnership. The major stress area is the fluctuating status of the father and their own fortune as Mercury, the planet of fluctuations, rules the ninth house of Capricornians. They long for leadership, political power, practice of law and business. Their major pursuits in life include acquisition of assets, partnerships and social contacts for personal benefits and selfish ends. The significator for the soul, the Sun and significator for morality and generosity, Jupiter, are functional malefics of Capricornians. The strong Sun and Jupiter ensure a happy and harmonious married life and Capricornians prefer enjoying disposition in life. The mooltrikona sign of Mars is in the fourth house, and the strength of Mars in its period governs the acquisition assets, good education, alertness and passionate married life. One gets happiness from long lived mother when Mars is strong. A strong and well placed Moon assures happy married life and rich parents in law. As stated earlier, the major stress area is the ninth house, where mooltrikona sign of weakness prone Mercury falls. The sign Libra of Venus plays a major role in the life of Capricornians as their professional success is dependant on the good strength of Venus. Capricorn Ascendant – Benefic & Malefic Dr. Shanker Adawal Benefic- Mercury and Venus Malefic- Moon, Mars and Jupiter Venus alone is capable of conferring Raja Yoga effects single-handed.

Capricorn Ascendant/ Makar Capricorn ascendants are generally social people since Venus rules their tenth house. Capricorn's are conservative, at times selfish and they can be selective in their approach. They are vigilant and tactful and can have a compromising nature in order to achieve leadership. Capricorn have a pleasant temperament and are emotional in the matter of partnership. Capricorn people are hardworking, persevering and tenacious people and have the potential for great accomplishments. They often keep themselves extremely busy and are always on the go. They tend to take things too seriously and are often detached from the emotional field. This detachment can be good, but through their busy nature, the partner of Capricorn usually takes a back seat, leading to frustration or disappointments in the relationship. As the Sun signifies the soul and Jupiter signifies morality and generosity, it is unfortunate that these planets represent the functional malefic for Capricorn ascendants. It is desirable to have as little aspect as possible from these malefic planets and to have them well placed and in a favourable sign. The stress area for Capricorn concerns the ninth and tenth houses where the mooltrikona signs are for Mercury and Venus respectively. It is because Mercury is prone to weakness, bringing inconsistency to the ninth house that signifies good fortune, spiritual inspiration and one's soul. Venus plays a major role in the life of Capricorn because professional success is dependent on the strength of Venus. Functional Malefics:

Saturn, Mars, Sun, Rahu and Ketu

Ruler:

Mercury

Exaltation:

Mercury is exalted in Virgo

Debilitation:

Venus suffers debilitation in Virgo

Body Parts:

Abdominal umbilical region, bowel and intestines and the nervous system

Capricorn Ascendant

The sign Capricorn is ruled by Saturn. It rules knees, bone joints and knee caps. It is a negative, nonhuman, earthy and semi-fruitful sign. It signifies tact, cheating, lethargy and melancholic nature if its ruler, Saturn, is weak. If Saturn is weak and this sign is afflicted by functional malefics, the person born under this sign suffers from the diseases of eyes, throat, teeth, joint pains, general weakness, emaciated body, etc. Capricornians are social as Venus rules their tenth house. They are conservative, selfish and selective in approach. They are secretive, pensive, organised, proud and fastidious. They are vigilant and tactful. They have compromising nature in order to achieve leadership. Depending upon the strength of the planets, Capricornians are born to rich and well placed parents, get good inheritance, have pleasant temperament and are emotional in the matter of partnership. The major stress area is the fluctuating status of the father and their own fortune as Mercury, the planet of fluctuations, rules the ninth house of Capricornians. They long for leadership, political power, practice of law and business. Their major pursuits in life include acquisition of assets, partnerships and social contacts for personal benefits and selfish ends.

Capricorn Saturn+ Cardinal Earth. Recall what you learned about Saturn, reality, tenacity, etc. Now consider those interests expressing themselves through cardinal earth. The nature of Saturn becomes more forceful, decisive and ambitious due to the cardinal mode, and even more enduring, immovable and rigid due to the earth element. Capricorn encourages absolutely unrelenting tenacity with decisive dedication to realizing practical results from extremely ambitious goals. We symbolize this meaning in the image of a mythical sea creature called a “Capricorn” or “Mākara.” The original version of this formidable beast is a crocodile’s jaws with a shark’s tail and a deer’s legs. The crocodile jaws are symbolic of tenacity, never letting go. The ability to be swift on water or land like a shark or a deer shows the decisive cardinality of this sign, and highlights Saturn’s ability to tolerate and dominate in any condition, land or sea. Capricorn Qualities: Hardworking, Capable, Meticulous, Ambitious, Serious, Disciplined. Vital Signs: • These hard-working folks are extremely ambitious. Hard-work and ambition is bound to lead to

success and sure it does! • Rather than short-term returns, they focus on long term goals and the rewards they enshrine. • Efficient and meticulous, these people are mostly politically correct and diplomatic to the bone. • Their wit helps them make effective impressions on others. • They tend to have a grown-up air about them right since their youth. • They are easily upset by lapses in personal decorum. • As far as personal shortcomings go, they tend to be harsh on themselves. Star Quirks: • They loathe failures and setbacks and tend to suppress anger by being reclusive. • Interestingly, these folks could be depressed at the happiest moments of their lives, possibly owing to their high expectations. • They are prone to be miserly and may often compensate on items of luxury. However, the saving streak stems from their habit of saving for a rainy day. • These fighters combat all set-backs head-on. Work-Wise They make very efficient administrators. Capricorn (January 13th to February 12th) The 10th astrological sign Capricorn and its element is earth. Saturn is the planet and the shades of brown are the favorite colors. Capricorns are firm, efficient, strong-minded, and introvert, dutiful, diligent, loyal, enduring, ambitious and devoted to your family. They have hard hair on their scalp. Sharpened chin is usually noticeable. They are showy sometimes. When it comes to clothes, the Capricorns want simply the best. Famous for their great legs, Capricorn incline toward form-fitting pants and skirts with high slits. Everything else in their wardrobe is classic and tailored, though; there isn’t a bead or fringe in sight. You have large feet makes pedicure a must. Blue and white will bring in success in your career and improve your personality. They will also improve your situation at home. Yellow and red should be kept away as they may create problems. Lucky Color: Brown, Steel, Grey, Black, forest green most dark colors Capricorn Ascendant, Capricorn Rising Sign There's a seriousness to Capricorn rising people that is unmistakable. Even when they're joking around, it's of the deadpan variety. In fact, plenty of very humorous people have Capricorn Ascendants. It's all in the timing...and the fact that they don't giggle before the joke is over. Capricorn Ascendant people project competence. They simply ooze it. They're generally very imageconscious people--the clothes they wear and their manner are a big deal to them. They want to appear successful, and they generally succeed! Often the Ascendant persona is the one that was forced upon us by family conditioning. For example, parents may label their Libra Ascendant child the "nice" one; their Aries Ascendant child the "independent" one; and their Pisces Ascendant child is generally the space cadet of the family. We adopt these roles as familiar ones, and often carry them with us as our defense mechanisms, in some way or another, for the rest of our lives. In the case of Capricorn Ascendants, these were the children who were considered the responsible ones. Sometimes, it was they themselves who looked around them and felt the need to be the structured, dependable, and responsible members of the family. So, often, Capricorn rising people adopted a strong sense of tradition, family, and responsibility at a very young age.

Capricorn rising people are generally big on family, and forever worry about security--for themselves and their dependents. They come across to others as hard-working, competent, and dependable people. What others may not see under that cool, even suave, exterior, is an inner struggle: they often ask themselves, "Am I doing enough?", "Do I deserve all of this?", "How can I make things better?" They worry a lot about the future. If success seemed to have come easy to these folks, it hasn't. They just made it look that way with a patient, hard-working, driven personality. Some Capricorn rising people practice some form of selfdenial. They know how to do away with the frivolous. Still, they'll spend money on the clothes they really want (the ones with the right labels, that is), and other status symbols. Although they're rarely showy, their quiet air of success is often a result of conscious effort. More often than not, Capricorn rising individuals are success stories. Their childhoods may have been difficult, but they slowly but surely turn their lives around. Saturn rules this Ascendant, and this generally means a kind of backwards way of living--as children, they are serious and bear a lot of responsibility; and as they grow up, they age beautifully, learning how to loosen up. The Ascendant (or rising sign) is often considered the mask one wears when meeting others. Perhaps it is most aptly thought of as the automatic responses to one's environment. The Ascendant shows our natural defenses and how we cope with day-to-day issues. The energies of the sign and condition of the Ascendant are most overt and obvious to others. The Ascendant shows an individual's first, natural reaction to new people and situations. The characteristics of Capricorn Ascendant described above are modified by planets conjunct the Ascendant, planets that aspect the Ascendant, and the position of the ruling planet of the sign on the Ascendant. For example, a person with a Capricorn Ascendant with its ruling planet, Saturn, in Sagittarius will respond to the environment a little differently than another person, also with a Capricorn Ascendant, but whose Saturn is in Scorpio. Similarly, a person with a Capricorn Ascendant who also has Venus conjunct it will "behave" differently than someone with a Capricorn Ascendant who does not have that aspect in their natal charts. Capricorn Rising The following interpretation of Capricorn Ascendant is from the Karmic Insight Report, and is written from an esoteric viewpoint. The point that was on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth is called the ASCENDANT, or rising sign. While the Sun describes your conscious direction and current life focus, and the Moon your subconscious predisposition and past, the Ascendant indicates a way of being that transcends and embraces past, present, and future. It describes the way you engage and merge with the outer world and how you bring through into life the energies depicted by the Sun, the Moon, and the rest of your birth chart. Everything is filtered through the Ascendant from an esoteric point of view. It indicates your soul's function and thus a key part of your destiny. Capricorn Rising - General Hardheaded realism, earthly pragmatism and a concern for outward form or reputation colors your entire life expression. You are ruled by Saturn, planet of time, old age, and maturity, as well as of pruning, discipline, and restriction, the archetype of the Crone or the Seney, the old man. Thus, you possess the impersonal detachment and worldly understanding of an elder, even in youth. You will have to cultivate flexibility and moisture (in your body as well as in your thinking) in order to offset your natural tendency toward dryness and/or rigidity and stiffness. (Since you are Saturn-ruled, the section on this planet later in the report is especially relevant to you).

Esoterically, mastery of the world of form and the ability to physically manifest and embody spirit is a key to your soul function. A Spiritual Interpretation of Capricorn Rising "Your rising sign's symbol is the goat, an animal that seeks the highest places on a mountain. The symbol also incorporates the tail of a fish, suggesting that your roots are somehow in the water. The part of the body related to this sign is the knee. Two images come to mind: you engage in the ambitious climb through your profession, seeking greater height for its own sake. Yet you are able to dive into the water and use your flexible knees to move you through the water. The contrast of material upward progress and downward movement into the emotional realm is striking. Yet both are related to the material condition of the living human being. Your spiritual path lies in the blending of these forces, and the material plane provides the catalyst for your spiritual development. One-sided material ambition cannot elevate you to a higher spiritual plane any more than one-sided emotional life can satisfy you completely. Together they form the foundation from which all future progress emerges. It is from this synthesis that you can move into the nest turning of your upward moving spiritual path. The hallmark of this rising sign is intelligent activity. Thus it is important for you to pay attention to whatever subjects you study and to go beyond the facts to discern the theory that governs your interests. Finally you will be able to use your skills to identify multiple solutions to problems. Then you can exercise spiritual discernment to identify the solution that best suits the situation and the individuals involved. Underlying the desire to find a workable solution lies the desire to work that solution harmoniously. Going back to the knee, the capacity to kneel parallels your ability to climb and to swim. I recall stories of pilgrims who travel the last part of their journey to a shrine on their knees as a sign of humility before the greatness of the divine. You may want to learn humility before the greatness of your peers and learn to serve them willingly." Capricorn Ascendant from the Cosmo Natal Report: "Cautious, prudent, and rather self-contained, you are a person who approaches life realistically and who is not inclined to take foolish chances or get carried away by the overly optimistic or idealistic schemes of starry-eyed dreamers. In fact, you frequently have a jaundiced view of such things. You are rather worldly-wise at a fairly young age, even something of a cynic. Often the world doesn't seem like a safe, friendly place to you, and you tend to approach life in a guarded, conservative manner. You are generally calculating and careful, and are rarely spontaneous, fluid, open, and childlike. You are pragmatic, shrewd, and an excellent strategist, carefully planning your moves for maximum effectiveness and advantage. You are willing to work long and persistently for what you want and you often do things the hard way. You do not expect others to take care of you and sometimes refuse or simply don't seek any outside help. You are often very ambitious, but quietly so. There is nothing flamboyant or flashy about your approach. You are very responsible, conscientious, and very concerned with your duties to others and how you appear in society, your "rank" so to speak. To others you seem mature, serious, quiet, reflective, and emotionally detached. You dislike sloppy sentimentality and won't openly display your feelings, especially the softer ones. You like to always appear poised and in control and hate to show any weakness, vulnerability, or chinks in the armor. You respect tradition and the time-honored way of doing things, and you feel there is much to be gained from studying history and also by learning from older, more experienced people. A wise

mentor or father is often your guide in life, and you in turn develop a great deal of hard-earned wisdom which you like to impart to younger people. You have a stern, authoritarian, no-nonsense aspect to your personality. You expect much from yourself and may not give yourself enough room to experiment and make mistakes. You also tend to be rather close-fisted, to save and conserve your money and resources rather than spending, enjoying, or splurging with them. You spend money on things of quality and of lasting value, things which are good investments, but not frivolous, temporary pleasures. There is a bit of the ascetic in you. You have great self-discipline and self-control and can "do without" very well. Your tastes are generally understated and simple. Though you may have other, more colorful and imaginative sides, the face you show the world is modest and rather conservative."
