It's only my HALF-Birthday!!! My normal solar return usually occurs on a holiday here in the USA (end of May). It commemorates death and graves (Memorial Day, soldiers who died, veterans). .. ugh.
*sad*
My Half-Birthday has happier energies surrounding it. (Transiting planets in Sag, western) associated with "Giving" and Gratefulness Holidays--
Hanukkah, Christmas, Turkey family meals at Thanksgiving Day, Candles, Pretty Lights and Trees, traditional Music for the Holidays.
Half-Birthday transits tending to fit the 'inner' me a little more??
Joy joy joy.
(Sag Asc in Western).
I found out a cool piece of information from a Vedic Newsletter I subscribe to. It was talking about the Scorpio constellation degrees of nakastra Jyeshta corresponding (in some of that range), with some charts of billionaire's-- rofl)!
Hey!!! Get ready, Somna!!!! LOL
Let's manifest some really cool things to support, as Philanthropists, right??
Transiting Jupiter is in sidereal Scorpio now. Should arrive in-range of my Ascendant in the early degrees nakshatra Jyeshta by Christmas and into most of January 2019?
(Oh. I'll have to check that later. .. Been trying to figure out the Jagannatha Hora program I downloaded, and am frustrated! Can't print out what I want from it.)
And, I've GOT to memorize things solidly, anchor them down in my head, rather than keep having to look them up all-over-again.
What would be really really nice is a graphic that has western zodiac degree-line in parallel-comparison with the sidereal constellation degrees on the same graph?? (if there's such a thing).
I'm a 'visual' and graphs/graphics kind of person. I like to learn to use and know BOTH zodiac and sidereal 'equally' well.
I have this inner solid intuitive 'sense' of being able to do both.
Just need the info to rise up to the mental/verbal, not just remaining as a Knowing, or intuitive-level?
(hahaha, does that make sense?)
I MUST have done this stuff before.. in a past life?!
Or, it's just that my learning-style has to go DEEP first, and not shallow surface learning, in order to anchor. Once I know something, I solidly know it to the easy point of turning around and teaching it to someone. (I guess that's my measure of whether or not I 'know' something-- whether I could turn to someone and clearly explain it to them to the point that THEY have understood and know it too!)
I 'grok' learn ?

hmmmm. I guess that can be a Vedic Scorpio Ascendant thing? Certainly, a Virgo Moon and all the Gemini in my Vedic chart.
Anyways, I'm rambling today?? LOL
Thanks for posting your chart here.
I have your western chart, and I take very tiny-bites to try to understand the Hindu charts.
(There are a lot of home and material limitations that interfere/disrupt with learning-- I do the best I can-- *grin*. Being grateful.)
Not sure, but I think my Rahu is in the 2nd House, like yours? But, duh-- I can't make sense of the navamsha D9 yet. There seem to be different versions of D9's that I've seen of my charts. (I'm sooooo confused!!! LOL)
It's in the 2nd House in the 'main' chart--- haha, I'll make up a new vocabulary until I NAIL DOWN exactly 'what' I'm looking at, and what to CALL it!
I had caught a 'free' first class on how to read a Vedic chart months ago (by Joni Patry, who uses hindu and sidereal; and toggles occasionally to the western).
..(humor) Amazing what ONE foundational lesson can clear up in the crowded mind!
Heard a joke once about 'What do you give a Golfer for their present(gifts)?' Answer?-- 'Lessons!!! Give them Golf Lessons!!!' LOL
So anyways! I volunteer for a non-profit legal (charitable) agency in my community. They sorely need me to volunteer a LOT of extra-time for the next 3 weeks to cover the absence of several of their paid staff.
Have a nice week!
