Rahu in Lagna

Dear Ranjanji,

Sorry for the error committed inadvertantly.

Respected RRji,

Honest answer is no. I never got along with my father but my relationship with my mother has been very good throughtout. As far as my teachers, excellent relationship and as a matter of fact I was a favorite student wherever I studied, to the extent that during my master's program (US), my professor came to me during the final exam of 'Mass Transfer' and told me to leave because he thought I knew the subject so well that I need not give the exam. It was one of the greatest honor a student can get. Similarly, wherever I worked, my managers were actually my protectors and promoters. To summarize, I must have tremendous blessing of Guru because I always got along with elders, teachers, bosses and still do.

I really do not understand my horoscope. All the malefic planets seem to act very much in my favor. I can not figure out really who is malefic for me. By the way I have been diligently trying to rectify my birthtime and it looks like 22:00:40.934 seem to work. This new time does not change my rasi chart but navamsa lagna changes to Gemini making my lagna vargottam. Also it makes Rahu and Ketu vargottam.

With Regards,

Pratap

Just curious was there element of mistrust or suspicion between you

and your parents, perhaps mother or an auntie at some point in life?

Also with teachers or educational system perhaps?

Thanks

I have lost a fortune via investments in projects of friends and

family and stock market. Again this may be an example of how looking

at just one planet is not adequate to come to a conclusion.

I was going with venus since it has been named as a karaka for mother

in certain contexts.

So there was a less than optimum trust with one of the parents!

Regarding -- teachers I am glad that you had no problem. Was there

something with the type of education that you found yourself in or

the educational system, the entire experience that could connect with

the theme of suspicion, excessive caution, mistrust?

Please do not think of me as judgmental but there does seem to be an

undercurrent of very strong vein of disbelief and suspicion and lack

of trust, if you are being perfectly honest here!

You Sir do not even trust your own birthdata, the very source of your

astrological being! This is not meaningless! Obviously you are not

all that laid-back and lazy and easy-going as you tried to portray

yourself or perhaps view yourself as ;-)

I looked up Doris Chase Doane's Time Changes in the World (predates

my computers and software and it states:

DST (same as WT) observed 1942-sep-01 to 1945-oct-15 except:

Bengal province (specific dates given)

Assam province (sp dates)

Bihar province (sp dates)

Gujrat is not mentioned!

This is not definitive but seems like you would have to do some more

research and find out what was really being followed in Dohraji at

the time of your birth!

Suspicion - even manageable paranoia - disbelief is not all that bad,

trust me! The only reason we are still not in some cave, eating roots

and insects is because we did not trust status quo! We decided to

crawl out of the caves!!

Please seek enlightenment and while you are at it, searching your

astrological roots, enlighten and educate us!

I say that with all sincerity!!

There was no issue of trust with my father. I have always believed in 'live and let live' policy and I just could not stand his dictatorial attitude and that why never had much communication with him.

What I said about education and work is honest. Let me give couple of points of description of myself as I see them. I am lazy when it comes anything physical. I love to sleep, stay up late, get up late on my schedule and take afternoon naps. Always looking for short cuts. But I love solving problems that require use of brains. For example I collected data on horse racing for about 20 yrs trying to figure out a system to make a killing. I must have spent may be 10,000 hrs doing that. Then I gave it up completely and suddenly. When I am not writing or reading my emails, I am either reading books on astrology or hypnotism or something like that or I am figuring out 'Sudoku' puzzles of evil category (hardest). I am quite extemist in the sense that either I like something very much or I don't like it at all. There is no middle ground. If I do something I will do it intensively and with singular focus. I absolutely do not like confrontation. Therefore most of the time instead

of arguing even when I am right, I will just agree to avoid confrontation. That does not mean I have really agreed. My opinions hardly ever change. I am obstinate that way. I am very adaptable, can put up with things that I don't like for long time if I need to. I am self-reliant, adaptable, independent and very confident. I was very ambitious when I started working but not anymore. I have knowledge of many subjects but always superficial. Oh, one other thing I am not a good student in the sense that I always question anything taught to me. May be that is why I haven't learned anything in depth.

Why am I telling you all this? May be because it might get you interested in looking at my chart and making a prediction that will come true in near future.

Yes I have doubts about my birthtime and wartime corrections. And that is why I was inquiring about the application of divisional charts the other day. I am not entirely convinced about astrology and all the rules written in so many books because many are quite contradictory. Yet I want to believe that there must be a few people who have mastered this science enough to make a definitive prediction. With so many rules, like Pradeep said, any past event can be explained by one or the other rule that applies, because there are thousands of rules to choose from.

One thing I have concluded is that a person who does not believe in astrology or has no interest in astrology, is a person happy in all aspects of life.
