Dear Yadu Sreshta,

 

I accept that the eighth gives good results in terms of inheritances and

longevity. But our overwhelming experience with the eighth house is that

planets there become feeble in the matter of giving results in general.

We can find a statement in the astrological literature to justify just about

anything, but I don't think that the idea of Venus consistently representing

sisters has met with much accepotance among the Hindus. I used to interpret

that Jupiter is the husband for a woman because I read that somewhere. But

that got me into trouble. Later I saw Raman interpret that Venus indicates

the marriage partner, even for a woman, and that really helped me get away

from the statement that Jupiter is the karaka.

 

Besides, according to the Capricorn chart, it would be difficult for his

divine grace not to have a masculine older sibling.

The Sagittarius chart in general is an overwhelmingly spiritual chart. One's

profession is indicated by the lagna as much as by the other factors such as

the tenth- in the Sagittarius chart, Prabhupada's lagna lord

Jupiter-the-deva-guru occupies the ninth, the house of Dharma, aspects the

house of writing and the lagna itself.

 

This is a clue like Maxwell's Silver Hammer, my dear Yadu Srestha!

 

I still say that the Sagittarius chart fits from the perspective of writing,

the strength of results during the Ketu period, and siblings.

 

Your Servant,
