Dear Christopher

Your ideas on chart reading are orginal and in this case quite
accurate. I know this chart well and will give my views. Firstly
Cancer Lagna with Moon in the second house in the nakshatra of Venus
gives her great beauty. Her face is extremely beautiful. Ketu a mute
planet in the lagna makes her quiet on the surface, deep and moody.
The Moons depositor Sun is in conjunction to Saturn showing a hard
childhood and abandonment by the Mother.

Fourth lord Venus is in the 12th house with Mars showing the Mother
was a prostitute who left her children and went and worked in foreign
countries. Her mother is extremely aggressive as shown by Mars with
the 4th lord Venus in the nakshatra ardra, a sharp and dreadful
nakshatra. Sun and Saturn aspected by Rahu also show seperation from
the Father as he lives in Thailand and this girl lives in Australia.

This girl as far as I know is not promiscuous although Mars and Venus
are in Gemini in the 12th. Her passions are hidden and the Sun Saturn
conjunction square the Moon seems to have made her a bit conservative
in ways. She is trying very hard not to be like her Mother although
she is very aggressive in private. In public she is very quiet and
calm and rarely speaks without prompting. This is very Cancerian.

Rahu is in the 7th and it is aspected by Mars, Rahus depositor Saturn
is ava yogi and terrible malefic for Cancerians. Saturn is conjunct
Sun and I feel these combinations could show loss of husband or
divorce. She plans to marry next year which makes sense as she will
finish Mars/Rahu and start Mars/Jupiter. Jupiter will be transiting
natal Venus. Her fiancee was born on the 14/12/1973 in Cambodia but
I'm not sure the time. I suspect he was born in Sagitarius.

I am a user of the outer planets also. I am very interested in your
use of the outer planets as I have been taught by a traditional
Jyotish Pundit who is a big believer in the power of these planets. I
have the Moon in conjunction with Uranus and Pluto in the 7th house.
Moon and Uranus are in Magha ruled by Ketu and Ketu is in the 12th
house with lagna lord Saturn. Saturn and Ketu are in Shravana which
is the Moons nakshatra. This constellation exchange seems to affect
me deeply making me obsessed with sexual energies, Kundalini and all
spiritual and occult matters.

I was also born with Jupiter, Mars and Mercury in the lagna in
Aquarius. Mars and Mercury fall in the nakshatra Shatabishak ruled by
my birth yogi Rahu. Rahu falls in the Cancer in the nakshatra of
Ashleesha ruled by Mercury. Both my planets of the mind fall in
nakshatras of the nodes and are in nakshatra exchange also.

I am in the Moon dasha which thankfully is coming to an end as I feel
like I have been going through the dark night of the soul for the
last few years. I suspect this is also because of Neptune transiting
my ascendent lord Saturn in the 12th house. At times I seem totally
devoid of any sense of reality or sense of self. At other times I
feel so full of sexual energy I feel I am going to completely self
imoliate in a burst of flames. I would like your opinion on my outer
planets as Pluto is coming in conjunction with my 10th house cusp.

My dear old Pundit assures me things will come right in the next few
years as I will be going into Mars Dasha when Uranus moves into the
lagna in conjuntion to Jupiter, Mars and Mercury. Aries is my
navamsha lagna and Mars is in the 10th house in the navamsha with
Rahu. My old Pundit jokes I am another Hitler according to my
navamsha chart as Mars is very strong. I do have red hair and have a
scary resemblence to Aleister Crowley with strong Martian features.

I was born 19/03/1962 Melbourne, Australia. 05.29.30 am. Aquarius
lagna and Aries navamsha.

I make extensive use of the navamsha chart also and are very
interested the way you look at planets in relationship between rashi
and navamsha placement. I make extensive use of the nakshatras as my
Pundit says if you don't you are not an astrologer. The planets are
the messengers of the fixed stars and the nakshatras show your
unchangable destiny.

Thanks for the effort

Skinbags.

P.S Everybody may be interested in listening to a question I posed to
Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (Gurudeva) about the use of Vedic astrolgy
and whether the planets are stronger than the will of man. You can
listen to his answer at his site. Go to www.hindu.org and go to his
site. Everybody should have a copy of his book "Merging with Siva"
this is the greatest book ever written.
