learning Vedic astrology!-help me understant my chart?!

[rastaban 0]

Hello to all! Im new to Vedic astrology (little experience in Western). The reason I started to read about this system is that I'm fascinated about the "true" link between the various fixed stars of the zodiac and their respective signs (sidereal astrology versus tropical). But it isn't that easy for me because I am very indetified as a sagittarian (Sun) with Libra Ascendant, and can't quite grasp how I can be a Scorpio Sun with Virgo Lagna after all!...yet I can already see that some things make sense (for example my Ardra nakshatra)

This is also a somehow troublesome period of my life after a difficult break up with someone I deeply loved and now I'm trying to overcome my stilness and procrastination..

I was wondering if someone could give me some insights based on my chart. For example, the Rahu in Lagna, the Moon with Jupiter retrograde the later ruling two kedras houses and not a trikoma and in exchange of signs with the Lagna ruler (the later being also in a kedra). Perhaps this is a central issue of this chart..but what it could really mean or how it could propably manifest in my life I dont know. I also noticed that Venus is 0degrees Scorpio...but if I change to the Fagan sidereal system it is considered in 29degrees Libra, and when I looked in fixed stars, it is absolutely closer the Libra Scales rather than any of the eastern stars of Scorpio (Venus conjuncts the fixed Star Agena). I suppose it is of great importance for the interpatation of the chart in Vedic astrology because it changes its house number, and wondering if someone has a relative experience of these 1-2 first degrees of the sign Scorpio. Also I noticed that there is a very weak Saturn in the chart (in Leo and in the 12th house, being the ruler of a trikoma but also 6th and aspecting the 10th).. what it could mean and how do you suggest to remedy its weakness?

Thank you very much!

Hi rastaban,

 

I am an indian myself and I started with Linda goodman when i was a kid but I still remember i was so obsessed with it, I would ask the sun sign of a person first and his name later. MY brother and I would gasp at how typical leo extravagance is or how ill tempered scorpios can be.

 

My conversion into vedic system leaves me with no iota of doubt as to its totality. Yet, pls do not apply vedic astrology in a similar manner as western. Sun mostly conveys our nature/behaviour. In the vedic system, lagna is of paramount importance as it immediately opens doors to signs contained in all the twelve houses and gives an astrologer immediate insight into functional benefics or malefics in the chart as well as different karakas.

 

The gist is, pls dont think you are a scorpion+virgo etc in the same perspective as you have been thinking of yourself as a saggitarian.

 

Ok, now since i took lat + long details from a website i just wanted to confirm - I get virgo ascendant + aquarius navamsa + virgo dreskana in the third pad of uttara phalguni.

 

If I have the correct chart with me, then on a preliminary look you are running the 12th house dasha of an afflicted saturn - and mars antardasha (8th lord for virgo asc + 12th from saturn, debilitated + cruelly aspecting 5th house of romance etc) Also, we had an afflicted mars in gochara.

 

Regarding exchange of houses - I dont know if parivartan yog works as the strongest factor in your case because sun (our powerhouse) sits debilitated in navamsa and so does jupiter. Also lagna lord mercury (though not combust) is in infancy and being the dispositor of the 10th house I think that makes your 10th house quite weak.

 

You are probably better off in astrology than i am (very very new). I will be eagerly awaiting posts from the great ones here, to learn and learn and learn!

 

Bye and tc

Than you all for reading my post and replying to it ))

Well these are only some of the questions I have.

First of all in this example (my chart) Saturn is the lord of a Trikoma (5<SUP>th</SUP>) and the sixth house and also aspects the second house and the 10<SUP>th</SUP> house. Also Sati is in a sign (Leo.. very close to fixed star Regulus..the Leo’s heart”) a sing that he “doesn’t like” very much and is in the malefic 12 house. Having some experience in the modern western astrology the term “malefic” isn’t something that I personally like, especially for the position of a house.. Nevertheless as far as I understand is a position that could create issues that I must confront so I could learn something.

1)How can a “hard”, “thrifty” planet like Sati could manifest as a lord of a Trikoma and bring luck ? A luck that could be the result of a nature that doesn’t expects much and is contempt with the “little but essential things” that come in our everyday life?? ( I don’t know ..only make some suggestions there)

2) What a weak Sati means? And in our case it aspects the 10<SUP>th</SUP> house. Would you say that it makes me prone to a weakened common sense in matters regarding my career for example?

3) Sati is the lord of 6<SUP>th</SUP> also. When a malefic is weak it can cause extra problems when the lord of such house as 6<SUP>th</SUP>? If Sati was exalted and in aspect with the 6<SUP>th</SUP> house ,he would cause less trouble or more?

Another issue. I have read somewhere that a male planets like Mars are stronger in the first 10degrees , the neutrals around the middle of a sign and Moon and Venus in the last 10 degrees of a sign. What do you know/think about that and the theory of infancy of a planet? For example Jupiter is exalted in 5<SUP>th</SUP> Cancer. Would you say that in the 3<SUP>rd</SUP> degree Cancer is weak?

Another issue. Could the planet that gets exaltation in the sing of a Trikoma house can act as a Trikoma lord? (in our example-my chart, Taurus is a Trikoma sign, and Moon is the exaltation ruler of this planet)

Another issue. Moon is the ruler of Cancer, and in our example Cancer comes the second house from the Moon and Mars is in Cancer. I sense that the Moon and Mars must have some special interaction although Moon doesn’t aspect Mars (Im I correct?)

Another issue. How can the friendship theory manifest? Lets say that my Venus is in Libra (second house). Venus and Mars are natural enemies. In the example Libra Venus is 4<SUP>th</SUP> from Cancer Mars so i) Mars gets temporal friendy with Venus ii) Mars aspects Libra. So the two of them are getting neutral? Is it best to be a neutral with Mars when you are getting an aspect from him?

Another issue. Do you believe that the certain Nakshatras that the individual planets hold, have great importance, or just it is for the Moon, Lagma and Sun?

Hope to get back to this )
