Kumbha

Kumbha means the water pot, and the eleventh sign is drawn in the Brihat Jataka notes as a man carrying one. In the book's table of limbs for the Kalapurusha, the zodiac pictured as a body, it takes the ankles. The sign contains the second half of Dhanishta, all of Shatabhisha and the first three quarters of Purva Bhadrapada.

Saturn is lord here as well, which gives Saturn the tenth and eleventh signs, and Aquarius is also its mulatrikona, an added place of strength, in Iyer's list. Varahamihira makes it a day sign, one that rises with the head. The notes classify it as male, fixed and western, with a color like a mongoose, and its first navamsa, one ninth of the sign, belongs to Libra. Hridroga is the Greek-derived name in the sign list.

Under Aquarius, the 1905 chapter on the Moon in signs lists a tall, muscular body, large feet, a love of flowers and perfumes, loyalty to friends, and a walk that does not tire. Some entries in the same list are harsh and are left out here. In the calculator, Kumbha spans 300 to 330 degrees of sidereal longitude.
