Dear Cynthia

Here's my reply to your post

Alas there is no privacy on the list : - )

In many respects you have given a remarkable reading,

Actually I did not expect a freebie but since you asked for my birth details

I forwarded them .

This is a great question .I am a member of a spiritual society but I am

completely a nuts and bolts person within it .Not at all other worldly .I am

the one who gets tasks done,bills paid , repairs made,items puchased

,gardens watered etc .I'm not one who sits around all day praying or

visiting people while the weeds grow up around me .

Yes I still live at this location .I don't know if relocating and being a

Leo would benefit me .The Saturn Jupiter conjunction would go to the 6th and

Venus to the 12th .I kind of like having the Bhadra Yoga .

Because Mercury is so close to the Lagna it heavily dominates the chart and

I tend to be more analytical than intuitive .The exception would be in my

own behaviour .I don't know if you are familiar with the enneagram but I

come out as a 1-9 in that . Now these people are not staight thinkers

although usually they think they are .They tend to rationalise what

intuitively they feel they must do .

Pretty spot on .Saturn negates Jupiter's fortune and Jupiter Saturn's

misfortune so it can make for a person neither lucky or unlucky .They'll

have to work for what they want but the Gods will not curse them . Jupiter

Saturn combinations in my expereience tend to think deeply about the world

particularly in my case they fall in the 5th a thoughtful house .The bills

get paid and I spend the balance of my time studying and researching

subjects of interest . I end up spending long hours at work .I don't mind

people , I'm married and have never lived alone but hate the messiness of

human relationships .I could be described as a Professor type but have never

been a party type . I am a priest, an advisor (Hasta) but definitely not a

counsellor .

 

Purva Phalguna is a Venus nakshatra(in this case the lordship seems to fit)

and Venus is expansive in the 11th .I have at home some 40 rose bushes as

well as 60 odd gardenia bushes and frangipani trees and love growing

scented flowers for the temple as well as help taking care of the temple

gardens .So I like nice flowers and food consistent with Purva Phalguna .I

like comforts and do not care to rough it which I think is another Purva

Phalguna trait . No austere renunciation of the world in my spirituality .

Yes I do run businesses .

I am a spiritual seeker . I was always even as a child interested in

religion and religions and my parents thought I might become a priest . My

current path started at age 21 .

Good analysis .I guess as an astrolger you are trying to improve the lot of

people materially but at the same time I am a spiritual practitioner .This

is a remarkably good assessment .You are the first astrologer to pick up

this strange dichotomy that is resolved by realising that while everyone

else is praying I'm watering the thirsty temple garden .

Not familiar with the Trans Saturn planets .2002 is the year of the horse so

I certainly won't be surprised if I'm amongst those taken for the ride .

The strength of the Lagna Lord tends to protect me from health problems .I

rarely get sick but I can get odd physical ailments .During Rahu Mercury Sun

both my feet were badly swollen and despite numerous tests no diagnosis was

made . Every test showed that my body was functioning within the normal

ranges . Ketu is an incendiary and Mars is conjunct the ascendent Lord so I

am susceptible to excema , dermatitus ,rashes, hives etc

I hope your curiosity is now satisfied and that I haven't bored the other

list members by talking about myself so long .If there is anything else you

are curious about feel free to ask .

Thanks for the freebie
