Surya shows our godlike features or their missing in horoscope. Surya is unity, our focus and central
purpose of our life. That is the light we own and long for it. That is God in human hearts as Atma (soul),
goodness light and love, as an unity of life. Surya represents vowels a, e, i, o, u, these are symbols of
endlessness. Surya is cosmic intelligence, pure conscious. He is a soul father, our source and consolation.
All of us emit light, Surya. He is Atma, our soul. Surya is passing through our seven chakras, he is local

Nature of Surya in horoscope shows who we are in our hearts, our real nature – naisargik Atma karaka.
Surya is our feeling of self manifestation, expressing of ego, our impulse for power, prestige, glory, honor,
respect, authority, control and all these things that weigh to separate us from real atma. On a higher level
Surya represent Atma and power of perception of it, our aspirations, creativity, integrity, searching for light
and truth, transcendence of outer circumstances and coming pure conscious. In a family Surya is a father
and everything connected to him (relations with him and his role at all). Surya shows the type of authority and
worth that form our lives (king, president, political leader, government, all about state and government, law,
spiritual authority) because he is dharma karaka and never malefic for spiritual things, children and marriage.
Surya is leading light, leading principle. He has tendency to cancel common activities in life, and transform
them in the special and best. Surya does not give always in abundance, but in quality. Surya in Sanskrit

dependent, Surya is will, Chandra is love, Surya is time and fire, Chandra is a space and water. She is
Manas which including emotions, feelings, conscious that reflects (Chandra is reflecting of light), opinion,
consideration, sense for music, concept of ideas, imaginations, daydreaming. Surya represents who we
really are, and Chandra represents our relation to the other people. Surya is causal body and has a task to
conduct our atma will in this incarnation, because of that surya is presence and future,

and Chandra is astral body, field of impressions from past karma, things we dream, past at all. Chandra
shows who we were, what we take with ourselves, subconscious. She can show good karma if she gives us
high conscious or bad karma if she reduce our conscious.
 
Afflictions of Chandra (papa yoga): Personal disorder, problems in communications, emotive problems, bad
imaginations, hallucinations,  insanity, bad genetic heredity,  person comes from poor family, bad education,
emotional traumas that person can’t overcome and which can cause serious misbalance in astral body.
Chandra is our ability to accept, to be under someone’s influence, to feel other people and their emotions.
But she also gives us tendency to be hurt, because Chandra is the most sensitive graham. She is the most
vulnerable and shows personal vulnerable in general.
Strong Chandra (in shuba yoga) gives: sensitivities,  receptiveness,  carry about others, maternal  behavior,
emotive completeness, responsibility, sacrificing, devotedness, inner piece, inner happiness, blessing by
Mother Divine, deep minds, good religion, spirituality.
As a very sensitive and changeable graha, Chandra is under influence of the energies of the other grahas. 
Chandra shows inertia (she can habituate very easy on a suffering, sorrow or ignorance or, otherwise
pleasures). She can bring any kind of environment what can be negative in the case of applying of
subordination, oppression, or degradation. It is very often situation that natives, especially women with
Chandra in bhava of marriage (seventh bhava) suffer and stand under mistreat and degradation from partner
without ability to change the situation. Here is the word about Chandra which has the most of bad
parameters in analyzing of favorable positions.
Chandra does not have own nature and she has twofold effects: she can reflect inner nature of things or
outer things, as a light of other authorities. In a higher level nature of Chandra, she is united with Surya
(when they are in good relations that means the high level of evolution). In lower level nature and affliction
there is a subordinate to the other influences. Chandra is female graha that gives beauty and attraction, good
wife and mother. When she is connected to the Budh or Guru she gives knowledge in many areas, sense for
arts and spiritualism. Chandra is a home, place where we direct our love, carry and friendship. Chandra
gives love and friendship to everybody and she is often very emphasized in kundalis of doctors, healers,
psychologists, good mothers and wives, and so on. Chandra gives ability to focus on other people and their
needs.
Chandra also represents our popularity, social position, ability to have influence on the other people. As a
Surja, Chandra is also important for a social and political prestige and power. For the difference of Surya who
gives strong will politicians, Chandra gives politicians opened to the native needs. When she is strong she
can over rule all other grahas. Chandra gives relations, mutual exchange and communication (way how we
accept others and observe world). Chandra is the way how to interpret what we are. Surya is a semen and
Chandra is a birth, and in case of any yoga in chart Surja must to be strong to incept it and Chandra must to
be strong to keep it.
In Saptams kundali which represents children, Surya must be good positioned to incept, and Chandra to
become pregnant, to keep pregnancy, birth and lives of children. Surya is very important in male and
Chandra in female chart.
Surya always stays alone and wins any graha in yuti except nodes and Chandra. But Chandra makes unity
and accepts energy of any graha in yuti or dristi with her. Surya is egoistic and wants to subordinate every
graha he influence, and Chandra takes care about family, group, and wants to unite own energy with graha
she influences on, and takes care about her like a mother.
Chandra in Sanskrit means donor of pleasure and satisfaction, and rhythm, like a rhythm of nature and
Universe. Chandra is soma, inside nectar that calm minds and fresh nerves, and which body secrets in a
pure conscious condition. In general Chandra gives beauty, community and communication which are later
more specific manifested through energies of Shukra and Budh.

Shukra means incoming emotions and ability to receive them, and Mangal means outgoing emotions and
ability of expressive them. Mangal is a male and Shukra is a female, they are positive and negative, active
and passive side of feelings. Shukra represents emotive sensibility which can be very refined. Otherwise,
Mangal is a graha of emotive induce which can become violent. Shukra is the benefic, and mangal is a
malefic side of emotions. Surya and Chanda are in general male and female principle (father and mother),
and Mangal and Shukra are that in specific way (as a man and woman). They are grahas of sexuality and
show the relation between sexes. This was observation to clear the difference between male and female
principles and kinds of energies. Mangal has a behavior as a man who wants to charm and possess woman,
and Surya is a great father and authority and has male energy in that way.

favorable Mangal has a similliar effects as a strong Surya: independence, strong will, self-confidence,
success in actions.

action, less of male qualities.

injuries, criminal tendentious, killing, and so on.
Mangal’s malefic nature is very often visible in the cases of violent death. He also can cause early death.
Mangal causes misunderstanding, conflicts and lawsuits. He shows selfish will and do not take care about
other people’s needs. Even favorable and strong Mangal can bring difficult in relations because he insists for
independence, and like Surya makes differences between “I” and others.
 
But, strong Mangal gives clear aims, and person knows exactly what he wants. Person knows who he really
is, and who are his friends and who are his enemies. Every association with collective interests is
represented by Mangal. That is the highest level of group marked as Mangal’s characteristic. In a lower
sense that is army. In the lowest sense that is criminal group.
Mangal’s energy means collective work with a lot of discipline. Mangal is a leader of the central energy
surrounded by organization of the other energies. He is the highest army leader. He brings the focus to direct
energy. His energy is necessary of and kind of physical actions. When is favorable, he gives skill and
argument speech. Favorable Mangal is necessary to politicians, scientists or lawyer to bee good. Mangal
gives skill in mechanic, machine science, engineering, mining, chemistry, electricity and so on.

senses and material enjoying. Shukra brings richness, but not just as an accumulated money. She gives
richness with style and elegancy. She represents precious stones, jewelry and other fine luxuries. She enjoy
to spend money to satisfy senses.
Afflicted Shukra has tendency to make useless activities, satisfy senses, show own beauty, flirt, and flatter
and so on. She can become enjoyment that waste energy and wear out personality. She can give pleasures
that destroy us. Because of that Shukra is seducer, not only in sexual, but general stimulation to waste
senses.
She is attractive, fascinating and she can catch us in a web as a spider and force to follow her aim of
satisfying. She is uncatchable and has control over us because we always long for her. Shukra takes us out
of own personality and after we came long for her we realize that the eternal bliss (Ananda) is only in pure
consciousness.  Because of that Shukra is egzalted in Meen rashi which is moksa and final realize.

to visualization and creativity of minds. On a higher level she is completely devotion to God (Bhakti).  In
Vedic mythology she was the teacher of asuras (demons) to defeat ther by charm and kindness. Her duty is
to teach stambled beings.  Doctors and spiritual teachers have a strong Shukra in horoscopes. Her power is
not only fascinating, but also motivate and stimulate. Strong (in shadbala) Shukra gives sexual energy which
can be transformed into astral and spiritual power. That is why she gives harism, power and strength to
personality. She affects inspiriting and gives enthusiasm, bit if she is afflicted she can hypnotize. She is like a
magician that owns subtle energies and can catch us with them. Strong Shukra is very good because she
shows capacity for loving, refined feelings, beautyness and pureness. She can even win on the Mangal
because her power is initiated by love. She brings vitality and happiness. But, it is very hard to overcome
afflicted Shukra, because of that we have to find the Shukra as a love of truth, not as a love of appearance.
We have to find the deepest nature of our love and not to accept the picture of it, sensual pleasures.
