Aquarius Sidereal Sign: Kumbha
Kumbha, the eleventh rashi, carries the water pot: a fixed air sign ruled by Shani, about depth and steadiness.
All of Kumbha fits in one gesture, carrying a jar. The eleventh rashi in the sidereal zodiac, from 300° to 330°, it holds a water pot. The image evokes what is poured out, and it is said to haunt deep waters.
Shani governs it, and its first twenty degrees make up his moolatrikona, the sector where he feels most at ease. Rahu can also hold Kumbha, but only for some dasha calculations. No planet revealed by the telescope plays a part here.
Kumbha is fixed and airy. Odd, it is held to be masculine. Its nature is tamas. It has two feet and a medium height, with a dark brown or mongoose-colored complexion. It looks west, emerges by the head, and shines above all by day.
The body of the cosmic being sees its ankles here. Two quarters of Dhanishta, all of Shatabhisha, and three quarters of Purva Bhadrapada belong to it.
Steadiness and depth, that is the summary. Imagine a full jar carried without a single drop lost.
Kumbha as Lagna, the Ascendant
Kumbha, Aquarius of the sidereal zodiac, is a lagna that is read with nuance. Making it your lagna, so the sign that was rising in the east when you were born, does not promise happiness. This may concern only a tiny fragment, the twelfth of a sign called Aquarius, or be found in every sign, since all contain that twelfth and several have favorable effects. Nothing lets you decide among these possibilities.
The portrait itself is rough. It speaks of inactive ways and a harsh nature. Resources drain away. Parents and friends do not always welcome you with favor. You do not give out of charity, although virtue is put forward and homage to the gods keeps its place. Many people work for you. Take all this as an atmosphere, not as your image.
Kumbha is a fixed air sign, whose lord is Shani, Saturn. Its temperament can be bile and wind, or mixed. Venus and Saturn are beneficial to it. Mercury has varied effects there, good or not depending on the house where it stands.
