Guest guest Posted December 5, 2000 Report Share Posted December 5, 2000 Tuesday, December 05, 2000 Re: My Buddy Zam's Western and Vedic Charts, PLEASE READ; Comments, Please… All, The other day, I posted a chart for comment; since no one took a bite, I'll offer some comments…feel free to jump in… Data: Zamani "Zam" Feelings Sep 19, 1968 10:23 AM EDT Brooklyn, NYC USA Western chart: Placidus, Asc 9 Scorp Vedic chart; Lahiri, 16 Libra A Little Background… My buddy Zam is serious Jazz enthusiast…his faves are Coltrane, Marsalis (Wynton), Louie Armstrong, and Miles Davis. He's a big cut-up, always cracking jokes, this and that. He's been into all sorts of metaphysical things since he was a young buck, back when he had to heal himself from the ravages of food allergies. He's been into this telepersonal and internet personal thing now for the past 3 years….he's in the hunt for THE ONE…in that 3 year period, he's met, talked to, andor gone out with, no less than 3,000 women. No BS. He's got entire books of phone numbers and stuff, it's almost scary. Anyway, he's good people, and I'm honored to call him a friend. Western analysis The first thing that you see about this chart is the 4 planet cluster in Virgo, 3 of them in the 11th, and, to top it all off, there's the rare Sun-Uranus-Pluto triple conjunction…you can really stop right here. Here's a guy that's into things that the average joe on the block would think is at the very least, whacked, and he'll seek out others like him. The cerebral element here is really emphasized, by noting the strength of the Sign Virgo, and Mercury being opposed to Saturn. But, this runs in direct contradiction to the Moon-Neptune square. In the 10th, the Moon is very prominent, in Leo, no less…this suggests a "King Complex" - lots of drama, pageantry, and with the Sun in Virgo, we can expect a lot of this to by toned down a bit, perhaps leaning towards wanting to be recognized for being on the ball, so to speak. Still, with the Moon-Neptune thing very strong, there's the suggestion of confusion, particularly with regard to the Parental Situaion. On other fronts, this square could lend itself to musical/artistic lines. Saturn is Retrograde. This is a very powerful signal, that almost always suggests that there is a legacy of inferiority feelings taken on early in life, due to unfinished business with the Father. Indeed, his parents broke up when he was about 10. Venus is in the 12th, in Libra, opposed Saturn, and conjunct Mercury - this calls attention, in a big way, to the Relationship Profile; note that Venus rules the 7th. This all suggests that there is some level of un-practicality about what he's looking for in a mate - IDEALISM runs high. Midpoints AP + Uranus = A/M: speaks to being unusual, being proficient with computers (he owns about 5 of them, in his home, plus a lot of other gadgets), being shocking, and perhaps a law unto himself, all of this coming forward into public thrust Venus = Jupiter/Neptune: Clearly, this is an echo of the Venus in the 12th, opposed Saturn Retrograde, Venus ruling the 7th; this midpoint picture calls attention to the idealism in love and romance - in fact, "romance" would be the word I would use to describe his inner, private world. This same picture corroborates the Artistic focus. Mercury = Neptune/Pluto: This picture is an echo of the Virgo stellium - the Occult reigns supreme here. This also suggests a hyper-sensitive respiratory system, perhaps allergies? Note that Saturn is also at this same midpoint, and Saturn is in the 6th house, and ruling the 3rd. Hmmm… There is an overwhelming emphasis on Earth Signs, with a very strong Saturn…this guy studies A LOT, and will want confirmation for everything…also, note that most of planets are above the horizon, calling attention to his being potentially "victimized" by the lack of Parental Mooring, so to speak, especially with regard to his Dad…Hmmm… One last thing before moving on to the Vedic Chart; Venus-Saturn contacts almost always brings in themes of romantic/sexual involvement with one that is conspicuously older or younger; and, this same combo calls attention to a delayed emotional maturity. There's a lot to discuss here… Vedic analysis Ok, the first thing we see here is the Kala Sarpa Yoga, all of the planets hemmed in between Rahu and Ketu….in my researches, I have found that KSY suggests upheaval, obsession, compulsion, in the areas that the Nodes fall in. In Zam's case, the Nodes falling in the health axis highlights his "thing" for naturopathic healing as well as his inherent body weakness. Following up on this, is the fact that Lagna Lord (ruler of the Asc) is in the 12th house, along with 3 other planets - Ketu, the Sun, and Mercury. Mercury here is very important, as it is in exaltation, and is the 9th lord. This, along with the other planets in the 12th suggests strong potential for Spiritual Study. Saturn is debilitated in the 7th, and is same in the Navamsa; this says all kinds of problems in the relationship area of life - frustrations, and so on. Note that the 7th lord is in the 11th house of multiple partners, and is associated with Jupiter. Parasara says, that whenever the 7th lord is with or aspected by Venus or Jupiter, there will be many spouses, or, in this case, girlfriends. Case in point, right here. Plus, put with that the Venus in debilitation in the 12th - malefics here will make it hard for Zam to make the transition over to celibacy and so on. The Moon is in the 10th, in its own Sign; this is perhaps the best placement in the entire chart, and may come to save the day regarding Zam's search for the one…this placement also corroborates Zam's thing for Music and Art. Mercury is Vargottoma in this chart, the mental things is going through the roof here…damn… Venus is Vargottoma as well, but in the worst way…this adds to the relationship rig… Finally, note that the Nodes are right smack dab on Zam's MEP (Maximum Effective Point); this brings all of those "otherworldly" energies right down on him, and makes him interested in all things Occult. This position of the Nodes, without benefics interceding, aren't good for his health, and in their periods and sub-periods could definitely brings illness.
