I'm going to start wearing a pearl to help strengthen my afflicted Moon (this has been recommended to me by an astrologer). When is a good time to begin wearing one?

I did a Muhurta to try and find a time, and then I typed that same date in as a birth chart so I could see the degrees, but the Moon ...

the second one looks like moonstone to me...did he say what they are for?

If he can survive and make it to the top , I think all you need to do is shift focus , find what you want and then put your mind to it . You will definitely be a success . Trust me .
Thanks Astroboy :D I'm working towards finding what I want but it is difficult. I'm not sure if it's because I ...

My two cents on this.Lagna and sun generally signify the power of the will.here lagna is afflicted by the presence of ketu in hasta nakshatra and sun signifactor of will is in the star of moon the mind and aspected by his dire enemy the saturn who is also the lord of the fifth house.this native ...

Shukra is debilitated in the Navamsha . The dispositor of Chandra is Shukra . Chandra's exaltation status is merely for decoration . It's like Queen Elisabeth's husband ........ I dont even recall his name . :shock:
When I look at my Navamsha I see Shukra in Libra, not Virgo- did you take DST into ...

Also venus, lord of 2nd and 9th, is in 8th and is also in papakartari between rahu and sun. Moon himself is in papakartari between sun and mars and is aspected by saturn.
how bad is it to have planets in papakartari? is there anything that can be done to counter these effects other than try to ...

Thanks to everyone for looking at my chart.

Its all in the Moon My dear friend . Its all to do with the Moon Look at the Moon's position closely . You will find that , though it is exalted, it is in the Nakshatra of Kuja . Kuja is the dreaded 8th lord for this lagna . Kuja is not in a great ...

Thanks, aseem, I will try the incense and look into the other ways of cleansing as well. I have never heard of electric violet light for cleansing, so now I am curious as to what that's about.

If someone gives you their old jewelry, and you want to wear it as a remedy, how do you cleanse it before wearing it? Is it really important to cleanse gold, and if so, is there a particular way to do it?

I am trying to figure out the cause of my lack of focus and direction in life, particularly with my career. I'm confused because I have Mercury in Gemini in the 10th house with Mars, and astrologers have been telling me that this indicates a very strong career, that my chart is career- oriented, and ...

first of all , I want to congratulate you turning vegan . May the good lord bless you and grant you all that you desire . There is no bigger noble deed than turning vegan . Its a up hill task to say the least .
Thanks, Astroboy. It's good to see someone who understands my going vegan :) I will ...

I was doing some remedies for the Moon & Venus. One involves milk and the other yogurt, but I have recently become vegan (I was vegetarian before, but now I don't take dairy either), so I don't want to use anything that comes from any animal, which means my remedies will have to change.

My question ...

thanks, Kandhan, I found their website and will look more at this

thanks, Dinesh, I will look into this one as well.

no need for appologies, Dinesh, I enjoyed reading your posts

Thanks, Dinesh. You and your dad have explained this so well. Your ideal of marriage is really what I have always wanted when it comes to love, which is why I was never motivated towards casual dating, etc. at all (even when everyone around me was doing it).

I used to feel bad for being unhappy ...

thanks, Shrikanth, I will look into getting some of his books.

I'm curious as to how all of you have learned Jyotish. Do you just read about it, have a teacher, take classes, etc.?

I'm currently taking a correspondence course and have some books that I use, but I have also heard about an ashram where people study things like Jyotish & Ayurveda, and actual ...

Thanks so much, Dinesh- this makes so much sense! Since I am learning Jyotish, I especially love how you broke everything down and showed how and why these effects occur. From this, now I understand so much better how to look at the Lords in a chart :D

This is all very accurate. I really am ...

are there any remedies for this?

hi Kaushal,

I have looked at your chart, and the first thing I noticed was your Moon in the 6th house (a difficult dusthanas house, which is ruled by Mars, an enemy of your Moon). It is debilitated in Scorpio, and is also in the same house as Saturn (the significator of the 6th), one of its enemies ...

I don't see any major aspects to your 9th house, but there are some minor ones, which could be what makes you religious (and could give more positive effects than the usual interpretation for Mars & Saturn in the 9th).

Mars & Saturn are 4 signs away (3/4 strength aspect) from your exalted Rahu in ...

I forgot to mention that the coconut offering and mustard oil ones for Saturn should be done on a Saturday. I'll update that.

Here are the remedies she gave me. I listed them all by planet, although there are a few that I'm not sure are under the right one (like the gods), but that's where they were in my notes, so I put them there

Venus
-every Friday, bathe in yogurt
-bow your head in places of worship (to let go of ...

So if the Moon is in Mrigasira (and Mars in Ardra) does the reason for the emotional turmoil change?
