Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 its make total sense, because jupiter rules expansion and Saturn rules restriction or labor through hard work. also you have to remember , john is completely right here about the 2nd house, which totally makes sense as the second house rules the inflow and outflow of finances. I have moon in the second house I am always checking out interest rates on my credit cards, I am always asking financial questions. hell I care a lot about matters of the second house. for example I am interested highly in gaining knowledge ( 2nd house is the house of knowledge and rules great astrologer because they retain this knowledge it actually rules the following professions: all educators, financiers, bankers, poets, and guess what astrologers)), it is also the house of assets ( so that confirms johns theory), It is also the house of finances ( I confirm that due to my zealousness), it also the house of domesticness and family life or strong interest in family matters (kind of like a Taurus or cancer thing ( I love being home and I talk frequently to all people about family matters especially my father since the ruler of my 2nd house is the sun and guess where it is the 12th house so its just like lovely father bashing) so do you get my drift??? by the way I have mars raja yoga karaka (ruler of my 5th and 10th) aspecting that 12th house thank god otherwise I would have killed myself by now. however the main problem is which chart to trust for the united states. I have to believe that the chart of the USA is Sagittarius or dhanu as it is called in India. I really think that our country is Sagittarius because that sign rules freedom fighters. we also talk so much about freedom here and most of the planets are in the nakshatra of ardra and to be honest ardra rules the butcher (our insane meat eating) and is really not that great of a nakshatra so that is why America is unique in that it has these jupiterian influences filtered through the ugly veil of ardra. ardra is the teardrop and basically it goes through destruction to realize things if you know the mythology of the nakshatra. check out www.galacticcenter.org <http://www.galacticcenter.org/> wonderful nakshatra section compiled from various ancient sources. the civil war of America is exactly that point. I really do believe even more exactly that the governing ascendant nakshatra for the lagna of the USA is purva ashada. it is a wealthy star and also consumed with pleasure. that is why we are so pleasure seeking here despite the religious connotations of Sagittarius which is definitely evident because when a poll was done on Americans whether they believed in god it was overwhelmingly high even compared to other countries. I think the most beautiful thing of why the chart of the USA is so strong is not only the fact that the lagna lord is aspecting his own houe but it is that the nakshatra lord venus of the lagna ( if you use purva ashada and not mula) is aspecting the lagna. that really strengthens the chart as well. why I think purva ashada is because I think the USA is sort of a social climber and also purva ashada has to do with self improvement and If consider how things work here in the USA we are always trying to improve things. the interesting note however is how the marakas of the Kelleher chat play for the USA. I have always wondered will the USA live forever and to be honest it has strong indication that it is here to stay. because Saturn is strong and so is mercury. I mean you have a retrograde mercury in the 8th house so it also is in the 7th house and you have second house lord in the 10th house in the house of mercury (virgo) so you have some powerful indications that mercury has a lot do with the life of the USA and it might be true that this planet is very adaptable and very fast moving etc and it causes great change. that is why USA is so fixed on doing it faster and getting our most of desires filled as quickly as possible. well I hope I get comments regarding this all and am open to different theories. remember knowledge is power and to be a great astrologer you have to always absorbing as much as you can. sincerely, __________________________ __ Raja Gursahani 312 E Burlington St. #10 Iowa City, IA 52240 (314) 761-3134 Cell rajagursahani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
