Trouble at Home - Contentious, Emotional Fights

In Karkata, Mangala cannot move forward; He must "fight in place". Therefore, Kuja is a troublemaker in the domestic scene.

In the modern world, our "domus" remains the family home, but also now includes the national homeland and the global environment. Kuja in Karkata gives "frustration and blaming at home" or in the homeland.

Social policy issues related to parenting, storm shelters, the very old and the very young, national and personal security, government protectionism, government-as-parent (Big Brother), property ownership, and ocean-life may all arise in contentious and emotionally manipulative debate.
