Hi Chris, Actually many of the Tropoical house meanings are rejected by sidereal astrologers. And Jyotish astrologers have some house meanings that aren't used in the west. The whole house situation is wide open to controversy as we learn more about how astrology works. One of the concepts that I think works the best is that houses in trine to the ascendant are 'good' houses while those in adverse numerical relationship--the 6th and 8th for example, tend to bring more unpleasant results. I'm going to try to find time to set up your chart tomorrow to check the positions of Jupiter and Saturn. You're right--Jupiter should bring the best results according to sidereal tenets unless it's badly placed while Saturn is well placed. That would be a Jyotish idea rather than a western sidereal one--the good and bad placement of planets in relation to the ascendant. The western sidereal system isn't very strong on natal astrology. The emphasis is on solar and lunar return charts. On the other hand, Jyotish is extremely strong natally while being much weaker on the varshaphal (solar return) chart.
