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

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.

 

Well, those are my comments; your turn…
