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 that Mars gives power to my career and that I will be very focused with it.
However, so far this is not the case at all. I feel completely lost and directionless. I got stuck in the family business a few years ago after college, and I'm miserable here so I don't consider this my career, nor do I want it to be.
My question is: why would they be telling me these things if it is not happening? Will I have a good career in the future? Is something blocking my mind from getting focused to achieve something? Why am I so indecisive and can't figure out what I want to do?
Or is everything they say about this chart true, but my birth time must be wrong? (if I were born 30 seconds earlier than recorded, the ascendant of my Navamsha changes- would that have an effect?)
lack of focus and direction -- what is the cause?

Good day Lunari astra,
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 position himself . He is in Ardra Nakshatra with his arch enemy Budha .
But the killer stroke is Shani's . Shani casts his aspect within .50 Degrees of the Moon . Shani is the 6th lord . Thus the moon gets the connection to both the 6th and the 8th . Simple but dangeriously effective . The rest I think you can analyse your self . If you doubt my analysis , take a peek at the Shad Bala of the Moon .
Best regard's

The more you dig , the more you get .
. Good day to you Dev ji , hope you are doing fine .
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 .

Dear DEEPS AND DEV,
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 must propitiate sun god for things to turn around in a positive manner. if the will becomes stronger then the mind wandering can be kept in check,
with warm regards

Then find what your calling is and shift your focus there . Let me give you a example . This is the horoscope of a musician . He is one of the top 5 guitarists in the world . His name is Kirk Hammett , of the band Metallica . He plays the lead and is also the song writer . Take a look at his horoscope . before that , take a look at this ,

some of his quotes ,
.I'm death obsessed. You know, I have death all over my house. I have a stuffed two headed sheep!
I don't think success has changed us as people at all. We are the same lunatics that we were when this band first got going.
My guitars are my umbilical cord. They're directly wired into my head"
Look at the position of his Natal Moon . Every singe Malefic in the sky has taken turns top Rape the living daylights out of the Moon . He has managed to hold on because of the strong Vimshopaka bala of the Moon .
Chandra is at 25 Deg
Kuja is at 23 Deg
Rahu is at 9 Deg
Shani casts his aspect at 12 Deg
Navamsha Moon is in Kumbha . Shani is debilitated .
How else can you play music like this .
Classic example of " There is a thin line between a Genius and a Mad man . " He is off course a genius .
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 to everyone for looking at my chart.
I already do mantras for the Moon...For Kuja's influence should I do remedies for him as well, or should I be doing remedies for Budha to lessen his negative effects on Kuja? (would helping Kuja make his influence nicer or more powerful?)
What about Shani- should I do remedies for him to reduce his negative influence, or even more remedies for the Moon to protect it?

how bad is it to have planets in papakartari? is there anything that can be done to counter these effects other than try to strengthen the planet in papakartari?Dev wrote: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.

When I look at my Navamsha I see Shukra in Libra, not Virgo- did you take DST into account when you made the Navamsha?astroboy wrote:Shukra is debilitated in the Navamsha .

I read that the dispositor of a planet is the ruler of the sign on the cusp of its house- so each planet has 2 dispositors (one from the beginning and one from the end cusp of its house)?

I was always cautious of strengthening my Sun because I was concerned about it making my Moon more combust- is this something I should be worried about? What is a good way to propitiate the Sun?R V RAMANAN wrote: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 must propitiate sun god for things to turn around in a positive manner. if the will becomes stronger then the mind wandering can be kept in check,

Is it possible to be able to see in a chart what someone is meant to do in life?
