Identify from your own chart, at least one character of each planet from your Rasi and Navamsa and write how does it influences you during its dasa or antardasa. Answer: The Sun is in the twelfth in the Rasi. Being in the twelfth and representing atma, the self and action and initiative in my case it influenced in my decision to chose living in a community where there is a Temple where I worship God. I also take part in the activities as a humble serve there. As it represents the father, and being in the twelfth house – in my opinion- it caused the absence of my father during childhood. I am now in the Sun Mahadasa, although it is in the 12th house, I did not have much problem with health as it rules my sixth house, I only had to star using glasses, which is surely understood as the Sun rules the Vision (right eye). But what most happened to me was increasing the interest in certain areas of studies, where I luckily found Jyotish. So, to me this Sun in twelfth has been a friend, bringing me up wonders in matter of learning about my soul, and so taking me to the path of God. In both charts, Rasi and Navamsa it is in Aquarius. A sign of Sani, which helps me to follow ardently in search of the real path to the true. The Moon is in her own sign – Cancer - in the fifth house. It represents the mother. In this respect I cannot say much as I did not know my mother, but I can surely state about the mind, which the Moon represents. My mind is very active and curious. As a woman I feel that this position of the Moon is responsible for my deep interest in taking care of my home. In my opinion woman has a great responsibility in the world, because if she behaves adequately the world can be better, as she with the possibility of educating children, respecting and loving the husband, giving them comfort, peace, feeding body and mind. So, I guess because of the position of my Moon in Cancer in fifth (the mind inclined to home and feminine affairs) I try to give examples with my way of living of good behave, be zealous with my home which I love to take care and family, be respectful in words and thoughts and always look for what God wants from me as a woman. In the Navamsa it is debilitated in Capricorn and I guess it helps to increase my sense of duty with the above-mentioned factors. In Rasi it is waxing and I guess it helps me to have a happy and enthusiastic view of life. I also learned in this lesson that gemstone for the Moon is pearl, which is also my favourite one. I did not enter my Moon dasa, but I have realized that during the antardasa of Moon is a time of joy and pleasure to me. Mars is in Gemini in the fourth. As the ruler of Ninth and second and present in the fourth, Mars gives me strength to care on with problems that may occasionally surge in my house. I feel I am like the strength from where all wait the solution. As an army chief, I sometimes funnily behave like this in asking for order and tiding up of things at home. I think its position in the first house in Sagittarius in Navamsa helps to increase this tendency. I also saw in this lesson that Mars is in all fiery places, so it is interesting that the first thing I asked to be planed when projecting my house was to build fire place in the house (Mars in the fourth). I still did not enter the Mars dasa, but during its antardasa, activity, mainly the physical one is increased with household. Mercury in Aquarius in the twelfth in Rasi and in Scorpio in the twelfth in Navamsa. This Mercury position has helped me much with my interest for studying astrology. Since I was a child I loved to think of the star of each person. I was born During Mercury Mahadasa, it was not an easy period regarding wealth, but it was plenty of spiritual experiences and also it took me to get initiated in many contact of this kind which I keep until nowadays. I have facility to express myself through written and speaking. Jupiter is in Capricorn in the Eleventh in the Rasi and in Aquarius in the third in Navamsa. This planet in my opinion has taken me to the spiritual path since childhood, although it is in two Saturn’s sign, both in Rasi and Navamsa, I think this might have increased my absolute will in follow only in the direction of the knowledge of God’s will. Jupiter also rulers my first house in Rasi and Navamsa making myself deeply involved in the above mentioned affairs. As the ruler of the Tenth house in Rasi, now I know why I chose to be a Jyotisha, so that I can help people to find the right path in the Gati of Truth. Jupiter’s antardasa are always wonderful, plenty of knowledge news. It was also during one Jupiter antardasa that I went to live in abroad. Venus is in Pisces in the first in Rasi and in Pisces in the fourth in Navamsa. This Venus gives me the love for what is beauty. I like helping people when needy, and provide them comfort. I really suffer with people suffering. It is a kind of impulse to offer myself in this way, and I think this might be due to this placement of Venus. Flowers are other thing I like to take care. A garden with beautiful flowers is important in a house in my opinion and I think this is due to this Venus too. My Venus dasa was good and brought me very good experiences in terms of taught regarding relationship with people in general. Saturn is in the Eleventh in Rasi and in the Second in Navamsa. In both charts it is in Capricorn. I have felt Saturn antardasa as very disciplining in a way that obligates me to pay attention to points sometimes I neglect. As it is along with Jupiter in the Eleventh house, this Saturn has taken me to be disciplined and a deep searcher in the spiritual path. My friends are those who have the same ideal as me – spiritual one. I like discipline I feel it as something necessary as life to goes on. Rahu is in Leo in the sixth in Rasi and in Cancer in the eight in the Navamsa. I guess this position of Rahu help me to deciding in having a formation at school as a nurse, something involved with health. As I was always very curious about this subject during school I decide to follow this path in school. It was almost compulsive my desire to know about the human body and health, but also help, hence I decided for nurse. I also have a very strong inclination for herbal medicine and spiritual healings. Rahu antardasa brings me experiences in the areas I mentioned above. Ketu is in Aquarius in the twelfth house in Rasi and is in Capricorn in the Second house in Navamsa. The placement of Ketu in the two signs of Saturn gave me disposition to give up pleasures in change of spiritual living. My Ketu Dasa was difficult regarding wealth but plenty of fruits regarding spirituality. I made my first contacts- just as in Mercury Dasa – during this period. I become since a child attached to religion and I think this placement of Ketu tells of this. I also like to be with myself in silence and quietude. To me is a real pleasure be able to meditate in silence and quiet, as my twelfth house Ketu indicates. The first thing most important in my life is spirituality and I guess this Ketu, along with Sun and Mercury in Aquarius in the twelfth house gifted me with the tools in this life to do that. My sincere gratitude for your kind lessons. Yours faithfully, Sandra Lucia. Sandrale9 (AT) (DOT) co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
