What to expect during Mangala's 234 day passive-aggressive tour of Karkata, from 05-Oct-2009 until 26-May-2010?
In the world of nations, expect an increase in energy of angry defensiveness and more frequent occurrence of covert invasions. Regions that have intensive Mars influence such as most of Africa and the Middle East, and other areas prone to the eruption of war and sexual assault, will feel an intensification of existing emotional tensions between adversarial parties.
War
Kuja in Karkata does not indicate an outburst of new fighting. Rather, neechcha Kuja will deepen long-established underlying frustrations, and increase the repetitive intensity and vigor of reactive, projected blaming, rooted in psycho-emotional frustration.
Mangala in Karkata does not incite warfare directly. Rather, during the time that Mangala transits Karka rashi, existing animosities are psycho-emotionally repeated through angry blaming and adversarial intensity is reinforced. This long-term behavior during an extended transit of Mangala through Karkata will lay the foundation for future overt conflict. During this time, the target populations (Mars People) become increasingly habituated to polarizing rhetoric. Self-advancement, which is always Kuja's goal, is increasingly achieved through covert methods of blaming, stealing, and running interference in the lives of others.
When and if the time comes for physical war, the Mangala-dominated populations will have long demonized their outside target. 's conviction the war is honorable and necessary to "eliminate conflict" is long , projecting their own inadequacies and weaknesses (things unacceptable to Mars) upon the Other.
Violent or over-energized Water
Neechcha Kuja can be a tragic agent of severe water damage. E.g., typhoon, hurricane, flood, ocean storms. If associated with domain-8, one's cause of death may be drowning. If associated with domain-6, water-borne disease related to a violent watery storm.
Crimes of Sexual Manipulation and Coercion
Kuja-Karkata is associated with sexual invasion on emotional pretense or as a method of emotional domination or coercion. The karaka agents within the family are predatory male family members, notably brothers. (Mangala is the significator of brothers). Also implicated are fathers, uncles, and grandfathers who may feel they have a brotherly privilege with the victim. During the extended transit, these social aberrations become more prominent and newsworthy; public outrage is stimulated, perhaps by a neechcha Mangala related tragedy.
Invasive or abusive parenting; family incest
Karkata (Karka, Cancer) is the rashi of shelter and nurture, home and homeland. The people and places of Karka include protective parents, supportive teachers, the early childhood home, buildings and vehicles, and local culture validations such as licenses, diplomas, certificates, passports, and other proof of belonging in the homeland. Emotionally and socially, Karkata indicates "secure foundation". Spiritually, Karkata is the "eternal and unchanging home" that is pure truth.
When Mangala, the graha of male hormones and animal instinct, enters the normally placid parental realm of Karkata, one outcome can be sexual-emotional invasion by the parents, the male siblings, or both. In the most severe angles of a Jyotisha nativity, neechcha Kuja with no corrections may indicate a frustrated parent (typically but not always the parent) whose inner emotional violence emerges in sexually invasive behavior toward the child. The child's sense of protection and shelter is damaged. Without conscious intervention, the child may go on to perpetuate the cycle of invasion as the only known form of parental bonding with the child.
The invasiveness of neechcha Kuja does not always manifest physically. Emotionally invasive parenting behaviors such as meddling, criticizing, and blaming; disturbing the food-nurturing cycles (for example, parental taunting toward a child for being self-protectively overweight or constantly interrupting their meals) are also possible outcomes of a severely neechcha Kuja. If the current transit triggers any of the key lagnas or natal positions, the Mangala disturbance is exacerbated.
In the USA celebrity news, the beginning of gochara Kuja's long incursion into Karkata (rashi of protective parents and the childhood home) was signaled by actress MacKenzie Phillips revelation that she had a long-term incestuous sexual relationship with her celebrity father. This revelation in the public conversation space (internet and television) created an upsurge of awareness and outrage against this social crime. Expect rape as a weapon of war to become a major issue of social policy discussion during the Kuja transit.
Karaka of Mangala - the Types
The worst affected parties will be virile young men, who epitomize the competitive, self-assertive, muscular, sexually conquesting, warrior- huntsman who is Mangala. These young men lack the maturity necessary to understand the benefit of cooperative and collaborative process in human relations. They feel a powerful animal instinct to fight, win, and be a hero; they are in the developmental social stage of desperately trying to show independence from their mothers; and they are too young to imagine the long-term consequences of their actions.
The karaka population in particular will find that their normally direct, selfish, muscularly forceful aggression is suppressed. The heroic recognition they seek must be achieved covertly, using psycho-emotional projection weapons such as blaming. It is very hard on the karaka Mangala type when their environment prevents them from acting fiercely, directly, and successfully in life.
