Furthermore, no matter what evidence of positive change might be noticed by others, Shani-Kanya may find the horizon of opportunity for positive improvement to be extremely limited. Seva is typically the best and often the only viable option for a peaceful lifestyle. Neutral Rashi for Shani. *Seva* Service ministry can be exceptionally efficacious in the task of burning off the ignorance karma of Shani-Kanya . • Specific target = Service to the underclass "victim class" = those who have been profoundly exploited and who have normalized the experience of being "cheated and mistreated". "Serve and observe" those locked into a narrative of argumentative blaming can quickly convert ignorance into wisdom. Similar effects compared with Shani in Ari Bhava. An excellent position for: any professional dealing with victims and 'victimology' = the problematizing argumentation of ego-attachment to suffering • Paramahamsa Yogananda, • Swami Vivekananda advocates for the poor and exploited • USA Sen. Huey Kingfish Long, • USA Sen. John Edwards • spinal injury advocate Christopher Reeve physicians dealing with chronic, iatrogenic, and environmentally-caused disease • negotiators dealing with chronic ethnic and religious conflict • Tony Blair social workers serving clients with domestic violence and addiction cycles; repeat offenders in the criminal system; those suffering "generational poverty" • Henry Ford • attorneys and scientists dealing with environmental pollution • financial professionals dealing with repeat bankrupters and those who chronically mishandle the loan monies given in trust • entertainers serving a socially marginalized audience o Judy Garland , a favorite of the gay male community and daughter of a gay father; o Rush Limbaugh serving the victim-minded One is obliged (Shani) to pursue chronic (Shani) arguments (Kanya) and apparently irresolvable conflicts (6) embedded into the very framework of society (Shani). Karma of persistent and intractable (Shani) problems (Kanya) manifest in the lower classes, amongst the ignorant and unhealthy, or in the company of those committed to maintaining conflict . In sum, one is charged to work continuously upon problems regarding which there is chronic resistance to a solution. Preference for defining an argument rather than envisioning a solution to the problem. • radio preacher Rush Limbaugh On a personal level, one may complain regularly (Shani) about marital, health or financial problems. These difficulties are typically the result of one's own belief in the fixed (Shani) nature of marital or physical disharmony, and often also the result of a family pattern of resignation to repeating dysfunction rather than acceptance of possibilities for change. At the lower levels, one may be locked into a repeating set of personal problems which enforce a continuous inner argument . Personally prone to complex illnesses and financial troubles. • Food diet (Kanya) is often highly problematic, with habitual (Shani) disease exacerbating food choices - often based a a conviction that poor diet (and poor digestion) are imposed by conditions of poverty or scarcity. Higher levels include professional medical service and legal service to the victims of broken contracts; here the argument is just as detailed and the problems just as chronic, but one is fortunate to serve others rather than to suffer personally. On a social level, the service professional may feel burdened by sobering, highly organized knowledge about social problems especially poverty, oppression, and disease. Lower consciousness is to negative outcomes; higher consciousness is neutral toward negative outcomes. Concerned with chronic world ailments like war, famine, epidemic disease, pollution and overpopulation. • Shani-Kanya is a helpful placement for any type of responsible work with victims of imbalance, accident, injury, and disagreement. For example: environmentalists, pharmacists, hospital workers, police officers, divorce attorneys, or shelter managers. On a personal level, the employees or servants (Kanya) withhold approval. Much struggle in the workplace due to absenteeism. The work of inferiors falls upon one's shoulders. One feels beholden to the servants or the workers. • despite a deep and sincere concern for the welfare of his factory workers and despite paying the best wages in his region, Henry Ford was nevertheless intensely disliked by the automobile (4) workers he hired. They knew he was vastly rich and blamed him for stinginess, knowing that he could have provided them with much more benefit than he actually did. Often a lower-level manager who becomes enslaved to the small details of operating a shop or corporate department, or a farmer who has trouble from livestock or unproductive farm-hands. Digestive complaints due to worrying about getting the work done on time. Displaced analysis due to trauma of extreme conflict. The child of persecution and war, esp. war between the parents. Fearful. Life is about having problems. Will not allow a problem to be solved. Disliked and mistreated by problem-solvers such as physicians, financiers, and police. Shani in Kanya =chronic complaining. The Shani-Kanya person cannot be satisfied. Criticism used as a method of social control. The analytical mentality is trapped in Shani's negative materialism, and Shani-Kanya is bound to an endless cycle of criticize-and-complain. • In the classic stubbornly repetitive ignorance of Shani, Shani-Kanya may complain bitterly of the many imperfections one observes. Shani-Kanya = a master of "what doesn't work". Beset by constant reminders of imperfection, Shani-Kanya responds to an imperfect environment (especially an imperfect partner) with multiple reminders of broken promises and collapsed agreements. • Shani-Kanya may feel pressured (Shani) to correct the imperfect people and flawed designs of this world. • Ultimately Shani-Kanya causes separation and delay through constant criticism. Blaming behaviors eventually erode the will of the parties to make corrective efforts. The method of dissolution constant argument showing that the partner is not perfectly upholding the contract. • Typical of Shani, Shani-Kanya has no idea that it is one's own inner imbalance which causes the perfectionism which causes the collapse of most designs and agreements! Along with Shani's characteristic materialism, Kanya is a challenging position for happiness in intimate relationships. When Shani gains strength in kendra, perfectionist (nothing is valid unless it's perfect) complaining and lack of confidence (self-doubt) may become pillars of the personality. Shani-Kanya is particularly virulent in navamsha, where is indicates a pattern of litigious argumentation within core partnerships.. • In either 1st navamsha (self) or 7th navamsha (partner) it can damage the prospect for happiness in one's relationships. Shani-Kanya is often very intelligent and observant, but one's analytical awareness is focused entirely on the negative - particularly on perceived logical inconsistencies or contractual errors of the partner. Like all Shani-related matters, the effects of Shani-Kanya may improve with maturity. Intentional self-correction may increases with bitter experience, and certainly prospects will improve after the age of 60. • may be substantially corrected through a parivartamsha with Budha-Makara or Budha-Kumbha Shani in Kanya = enforced complaining
