Piyawajiran, the 6th is a dusthana because it causes difficulties such as anxieties, worries, self-doubt, debts, illness, enemies but it is also an upachaya because through it a person can develop skills and techniques, they can practice things, improve themselves, improve their diet, their health ...

Hi Rajk, Jupiter is weakened by being combust, and maybe even more so than usual because the combustion is from debilitated Sun. There is an idea that close conjunctions with debilitated malefics tend to be even more harmful than conjunctions with malefics who have some strength. In the case of ...

Yes, the 4th is the house of endings but that is meant more in the sense of how things in life end, like jobs or relationships, rather than in the sense of completing undertakings. Moon and Venus in Cancer in the 3rd house might have more to do with you being that way since Moon is fickle by nature ...

Yes, I think that sounds worth a try homebird. Stocks and speculation are ruled by the 5th house. You have 5th house ruler in the 4th house of home and there is a natural connection of 2nd house of wealth and income with the 5th since they are both ruled by Mercury. From the Moon's chart, one of the ...

Maharani, in April 1998 you were having a very difficult transit of Saturn in its debilitation sign conjunct your 10th house ruler and in the 10th house. I think that would have to be considered along with the dasa period and would actually be all the more significant since it was a malefic ...

Basab, I looked over Obama's chart as a Libra. I think it looks good with the Sun, significator of politics, in the 10th house and raja yoga karaka Saturn strong in the 4th house aspecting the 10th house as the 5th ruler. But Moon in the 8th house makes me wonder since that is also the 10th house ...

I wanted to share something I've been considering with regard to why some yogas work and others don't. I haven't looked over enough charts yet, but what I'm noticing so far is that the planets involved in the natal yoga need to be well-placed again from the Moon's chart in order to give the effects ...

Hi Homebird, I just wanted to add that Saturn has been transiting your Sun lately and may be what is making you feel pressured to make something of yourself. Saturn's transit over the Sun means you ask yourself who you are, what have you done, etc. and try to make a plan to become more of what you ...

Hi Basab, I don't want to change your mind about your own chart but I just wanted to offer these ideas as some things you might not have considered.

Ever since 2002 Saturn has been transiting planet after planet in your chart, beginning with 1st ruler Venus, then a little later over Sun Mercury ...

Hi Basab, I see what you are saying. No, I don't think I could have predicted his presidency. I could have pointed out the things I mentioned for the most part. And I would expect a good amount of status and achievement based on the strength of the 1st house sasa yoga Capricorn Saturn. Although with ...

Hi Maharani, I like your honesty about these things and am inclined to agree with a lot of what you wrote. The one thing I don't understand though is that you don't seem to see success in your chart, although maybe I'm misunderstanding you there. You have that Aries Mars in the 10th house as the ...

Hi Basab, I just wanted to share some things that I've thought fit well with Obama's chart. To me the qualities that stand out most about him are his integrity, honesty, calmness and steadiness. I think these qualities are seen in the 1st ruler Saturn in Capricorn in the 1st house (integrity ...

Hi Bd21121980, your chart strikes me as being very spiritual. You have Ketu in the 1st house near the ascendant, Sun Mars and Mercury in the 12th house and lagna ruler Saturn closely conjunct 12th ruler Jupiter. You also have Jupiter and Mercury in mutual exchange in the houses of higher ...

I think I'm going to take a break from this idea for a while so please no more charts, but thanks to those who offered. B21121980 I'll get back to you soon about yours.

Hi Ann, that's really hard to say about the lottery. I usually think of winning lotteries as an 8th house type area involving unearned income, although that could be the wrong place to look. With that in mind though, the upcoming Rahu transit of your 8th house might not be a bad time to try since ...

Hi Ann, objectivity and carrying out plans and purposes in the world is just the idea I have of what Saturn actually shows in a chart. So I'd say, in general, the way you go about being being purposeful in the world is both cheerful and emotional from Leo and the 4th house associating with Saturn ...

Maharani, I think primarily the mental aspects of the GKY would manifest rather than the physical and would point to a virtuous disposition in a general way since Jupiter gains strength by its angular position. But I agree with you that in order for it to give really good results it should probably ...

Maharani, I think this might be getting confusing because I'm focusing on one planet instead of the chart as a whole. The extroversion might be related to other areas like Mars as a powerful 5th/10th ruler, or Saturn exalted as the 7th house ruler which would give a lot of strength in the area of ...

Thanks Shrikanth, that's an interesting way to use the Moon's chart.

Thanks Maharani, I'm glad that made sense. I realized, however, that Mars was probably a bad choice since it's the 5th ruler of the natal chart and so has that 5th connection with or without the Moon's chart. To try a different planet which contrasts more with its natal position, your Sun is in ...

Hi Maharani, in your chart, with Aries Mars in 10th in the rashi chart and in the 5th from Moon's chart, I'm thinking this might show that behind the purposeful, worldly qualities of your assertive nature you are really much more fun, creative and discerning than what might come across. Or, in spite ...

Mr. Rao responded and I think has clarified things. He wrote - 'Parasara's verse on shashtyamsa does specifically say "tadraaseh", meaning "from that sign". So the sixty signs are counted started from the sign occupied by the planet and not from Aries.' So it makes sense now but it leads me to think ...

Hi Hock Leong, thanks for responding. You've actually brought up something else that I find confusing with the D60 chart which is that in Phaladeepika it is described as having only auspicious and inauspicious parts. No bhava rulers, like you mentioned. It's strange, too, since there seems to be ...

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone might be able to help me understand why the program Jagannatha Hora derives the D-60/Shastiamsa chart in a way that differs from the method described in the Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra? In Jagannatha Hora, a planet's Shastiamsa sign is determined by finding the ...

If anyone is interested I could try to do a reading of your Moon's chart with the above ideas in mind and see if it makes any sense.
