Kumbha (Aquarius)

Kumbha (Aquarius) rising

With Kumbha rising you are tall and strongly built, with an oval face, often fair and handsome; the teeth may need care, and many carry a mole or mark on the calf. Shani (Saturn) rules your lagna and the sign is fixed air: you are intelligent, deliberate and humane, you read people's motives, and you cannot be flattered. You weigh each case slowly, then hold to principle; you are constant in friendship, drawn to research, science and new ideas, and happiest working quietly for a group or a cause. Recognition comes through long, patient work that produces something new rather than through quick pay. Your lessons are to avoid solitude, gloom and rigidity towards people you dislike, and to act more promptly.

The Moon in Kumbha (Aquarius)

Chandra in Kumbha gives a calm, detached and humane mind that thinks in terms of people and principles: you are generous, loyal to friends and drawn to causes and new ideas. Feelings run deeper than they look but are rarely shown, and the mind turns inward and pessimistic when isolated.

The Sun in Kumbha (Aquarius)

Surya in Kumbha, an enemy's sign: the self finds its place in serving a group, a science or a cause rather than in personal command, and partnerships and public dealings shape your standing.
