Soul Recognition in Relationships: Nakshatra of the navamsha lagna
Nakshatra of the navamsha lagna describes the native's own psycho-emotional selfimage. This soul level of self-image requires validation in reciprocal, psychically intimate relationships.
Etheric-body energy exchange or "First Impression" Im pression"
ll relationships between humans are intimate in the sense that when one human meets another human, however briefly, an etheric-body information e!change" The e!change is based on the pre-e!isting subconscious memories which each person retains from their past-life relationship" The conscious or semi-conscious e!perience of the etheric-body energy e!change is one of #pattern recognition#" $ne has the sense - either acute or vague, depending on intensity of the relationship of #interest#" $ne is #interested# in this other person" The other person seems to possess some %uality or information information which one needs to absorb or identify" The nature of the e!change can be positively nourishing and friendly, or negatively harmful - even frightening" Regardless of the emotional value or psychic charge on the e!change, the feeling one e!periences at the moment of the etheric transaction is #interest# or engagement with some %ualities of the other person" &See Rudolph Steiner's Staying Connected p p () and following for a clear description of the #interest# e!perience"*
Mutual Soul Recognition - for a moment or for a lifetime
The e!perience of mutual soul recognition recogn ition may be continuous throughout the lifetime +as with a beloved parent or intensely for several decades +as with a beloved partner or %uite temporarily +as with a brief encounter" hether short or long duration, the native feels significant #interest# when the soul-to-soul matching recognition takes place" The moment of first recognition is the #psychic hit# or #first impression# that one has of the other person" .n the case of one's birth mother, this moment is that intense and p ermanent bond which develops in utero and is magically sealed as the infant looks into one's mother's eyes"
$f course, this is the best possible outcome of the core soul-recognition relationship" The mother-child essential bond like any other type o f soul recognition may suffer karmic destruction or delay"
Unconditional Love
/other-child relationships provide the only natural e!pression of unconditional love in human life" .n the 0yotisha charts, a strong bond should be present between graha in the mother's nativity and the nakshatra on the child's navamsha lagna" $ther essential human love bondings such as marriage and certain guru-sisya relationships will also display similar connections" The real-world e!perience signified by the 0yotisha matchings is the rather ineffable but deeply nourishing effect of having one's deeply private image of one's own #higher self#, better self, closer-to-1od self be recogni2ed and approved by the other person" Normally this is %uite natural for the mother, mother, who has no trouble reali2ing the divine nature of her child" 3et 3et it is rather remarkable and precious when an intensely engaging, deeply nourishing and validating recognition arises outside the motherchild relationship"
Falling in Love
This e!perience is often called #falling in love#" .f the #falling in love# e!perience can be stabili2ed into its ne!t level which is a the management of #being in love#, the native will be blessed to have entered a soul-validating relationship of some good duration"
Psychic Impressions from animals, minerals, or other items
The moment of etheric e!change or #interest# generates the #first impression# which may be strong or weak, hot ho t or cold, bright or gloomy, attractive or repulsive" Such a #first impression# also occurs in meetings between humans and animals of all species, and between humans and plants" /uch less so between humans and members of the mineral kingdom" 3et 3et as most 'sensitives' will confirm, particular crystalline structures in the mineral kingdom do have strong pulses which enter one's etheric field rather vividly on first encounter" .ndeed rocks, gems, and other inanimate structures do hold memories, and sensitive clairvoyants can detect the images of those memories by permitting an etheric e!change between the memories stored in a photo or a piece of clothing"
4iscussing the matter of a photo or a piece of clothing as a carrier of soul-image may seem frivolous or distant to one seeking to enter a beneficial intimate relationship, but these inanimate items which carry key information about the native are worthy of consideration" s one scans the field of possible life partners, consider how the $ther is signaling who they are, how they desire to be seen" 4oes the $ther's social posturing seem awkward or even fraudulent5 .s there a psychic 'gap' between the real person as you sense them, versus their ornamentation, style of dress, and decorum5 re they trying to be someone they're really not5 6ifestyle in smooth harmony with their basic personality5 3our 3our first impression is valid" This type of #first impression# is familiar practice7 humans use it daily"
uidance to!ard validating the partner"s higher #or preferred$ self
8!amine the nakshatra of the navamsha lagna to determine how the native sees one's best self, highest self, closest-to-the-divine closest-to-the-divine self" 9ind in this nakshatra a key to validating one's partner, whether in business or marriage" .n an e!isting relationship, discover ways to confirm and support one's partner even if the partner seems to be an!iously blocking the smooth flow of the relationship" hen seeking a new relationship, consider whether it is indeed one's preference or permission to validate the prospective partner's profile" profile" .n particular, consider that malefic graha occupying the navamsha lagna may make it difficult or impossible for the native to receive the soul validation they are seeking" e careful of psychic aggression from malefic graha in the navamsha lagna" 9or one's own self, e!amine and learn to nourish one"s higher calling " Selfvalidation is one of the most powerful spiritual practices"
Who do you thin you are!
Nakshatra of the navamsha lagna is probably the most spiritually important of all the nakshatra points" ll the grahas in all of their vargas and all of the lagnas etc" do reside in their own nakshatras, and each of those significations will reveal one more piece of the ka rmic ;igsaw pu22le if one should have the time to contemplate all of that detail< 3et 3et this one simple piece has surprising power"
$ne of the fastest and most essential 0yotisha evaluations which shou ld be done right at the beginning of any reading is identification of the nakshatra of the #swamsha# +i"e" navamsha lagna= This nakshatra describes not only how the native behaves emotionally in partnership, what their core e%pectations really are +often in contrast to what the native believes one is doing, or should be doing in partnership""" and most importantly what behaviors their self-image in relationship is based on" The #swamsha# nakshatra profiles the psycho-emotional model of the #good partner"s actions # or #correct interaction # which the native is following +consciously or not in relationship" 8"g", •

•
the native with >unarvasu in navamsha lagna is committed to acting out the nurturing, &gardening&, developing, fertile model of >unarvasu within one's partner role" .f the partnership suppresses or denies the na tive's maternal style of gro!ing things +whether children, plants, or businesses, then the native must leave" the native with ?hitra in navamsha lagna is committed to acting out the splendid, 'rilliant, attractive, competitive, successful model of ?hitra within one's partner role" .f the partner in marriage or business no longer finds the native #brilliant# and #successful#, the native will leave" The native with @ttarashadha @ttarashadha in in navamsha lagna is committed to acting out the model of great success through 'uilding large net!orks of alliances which drives the self-image of @ttarashadha" .f the partnership blocks or fails to support the native's model of self as a 'uilder of large organi(ations , the native will need to leave"
hen something happens to disturb the native's ability to act out this model , one's deep sense of spiritual direction is invalidated and the native feels that something is terribly wrong" The native will probably feel the need to abandon a partnership which consistently blocks one's ability to act out the soul-model for proper and nourishing partnering behavior, rather than abandon their model" )alefics in the nakshatra of navamsha lagna will always cause trouble along the path of native's pursuit of their programmed ideal"
The implications are greater than simply marriage however" *ll of life"s e%periences occur on the basis of relationships" $ne approaches life's relationships from a somewhat fi!ed psycho-emotional position, already fortified with a battery of needs and pre-programmed responses +based in
childhood and previous lives, for those with clairvoyant ability to see past lives""" The nakshatra rising on navamsha lagna will w ill give insight into what that fi!ed position is" /ainly it is a sorting device" $ne can only choose relationships and e!periences which meet the needs and e!pectations of that nakshatra" /any of the native's e!periences in life will be subtly regulated by the soul-level of memory-driven need indicated by the total condition of the navamsha, particularly the rising nakshatra"
