chart ruler question

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I am new to this group. I have been studying western astrology for several

years but am fairly new to jyotish.

 

I am trying to learn by using my own chart --and I cannot quite figure out my

chart ruler-

I am studying david frawley's correspondence course in vedic astrology and

was trying to figure out the most powerful planet in my chart and what planet

rules my body so that I can know my general state of health-the

correspondence books say for women(which I am) that the moon and planets

connecting with it are important (which I have moon and saturn in rohini

conjunct in taurus in the eighth house) and the lord of the sixth and where it

is

located (lord of the sixth is jupiter conjunct rahu located in the third house

of

saggitarius-)-and my ascendant is libra in swati (which is also ruled by rahu)--

I have read that rahu is not good for the health and neither are planets in the

8th house and especially if afflicted---

(I have mercury and venus in the 2nd house in scorpio and mars in the 1st in

libra)--

 

my birthdate is december 19th, 1972 at 3:23 am in twin falls, idaho usa

 

there is so much to learn and it is difficult without physical contact with a

teacher- so I apologize if I am asking too many questions at once-- it is just

so

that I can get a basic grasp on my own chart--in western astrology mars is my

chart ruler (mars in scorpio in 1st house) but it doesn' look like it is to me

according to jyotish nor did I ever find myself to truly fit the typical

description

of someone with this chart ruler.

 

I would appreciate any insight that would further help me to learn

 

~also I was wondering in a chart such as this --could the health be adversely

affected by the mind?

 

thank you, dharma
