Sahaj Bhav — siblings, courage, communication

Favourable Results

The native (the person whose chart it is) is brave (a hero, shoor), cheerful, learned, religious, and of a sattvic nature (satoguni, governed by the quality of purity and goodness). He is devoted to the shastras (the scriptures) and takes an interest in poetics and poetry (kavya shastra). He is indeed one who loves beautiful women, but he never gets caught in the snare of their attraction. His wife too is of an excellent and religious temperament. He earns wealth through his own valour (parakram), and he attains learning (vidya); but at the time of his studies his father's financial condition remains weak, on account of which the native faces obstacles in acquiring his education, yet in the end he completes his learning and profits from it. The native receives happiness from his brothers and kinsmen (bhai-bandhu) and gives them happiness in return. He becomes the head (mukhiya) of his family line. He receives honour and respect in the world. His whole life passes happily. If he becomes a sadhu (an ascetic) or a yogi, he becomes the master of many siddhis (accomplished spiritual powers).

Unfavourable Results

When the Moon (Chandra) is inauspicious or waning (kshina, weak), the native suffers from kapha disorders (ailments of the phlegm humour). If the Moon is influenced by cruel (malefic) grahas (the celestial influencers), the native's nature is miserly, arrogant, merciless, a tale-bearer, and violent. He is given to idle, pointless chatter. He quarrels with his brothers and kinsmen. He suffers loss of wealth on account of punishment from the state (raj-dand). The comfort of his father is scant in his life. If the native takes wealth from his daughter or from her in-laws, he will see only sorrow and poverty in life.
