I have Pisces Lagna in Vimsamsha with Jupiter in it, which aspects the 9th Scorpio. But in the 9th from D-20 Lagna I have Mercury and debilitated Moon. What would this signify? Anybody can guess..Sri Krishna of course. The chart is correct.

It's in Gemini in Navamsha (where I have my Moon in Rashi and which is the 11th house, interesting). So Karakamsha is Gemini and the 12th from it is Taurus, with Mercury in It. So my Ishta Devata is Lord Vishnu I suppose. That's all right, I really feel His help many times. > I also worhip Him with the mantra Om tad Vishnu Paramam Padam ... from the Rig Veda. > > > Eg.

I have Aquarius in the 7th, which is a male sign, with Rahu in it, which thus would give more male effects, asi it's the sublord of a male house, plus Saturn, which is eunuch, is also in Aries, a male sign. I have a question in this regard. Does Saturn as the 7th llord in the 9th and as retrograde debilitated planet make me alble topractice celibacy during some period of my life, although I have s strong sexual drive otherwise? I 've begun following the regulative principles inclyding brahmacarya in the beginning of Jupiter Dasha. Will it be possible during Saturn and Mercury Mahadashas as well? > > Your shishya, > > Gauranga das > > > ------ > BETTER THAN EVER: 250 HOURS FREE on AOL!
