Maybe you will be like me and marry someone who is older and very hard-working.

a completely different system

so vedic house placements will be different from western astrology house placements

for instance.

I have Saturn in 9th in western astrology chart.

I have Saturn in 10th in vedic astrology chart.

Vedic Astrologers don't count Saturn in 7th as exalted either. It's totally different

they view Mars,Saturn, Rahu,and Ketu as malefics...even the Sun to some extent

they also view the 6th,8th,and 12th house called dusthana houses. they are considered to be malefic.

any planet placed in those houses is supposed to be malefic

the ruler of the dusthana houses is said to have a malefic influence in the house its in

malefics in dusthana houses work strongly...same with dusthana rulers in dusthana houses.

an example of a malefic in a dusthana house is Rahu in 6th house, Ketu in 12th house
I have those placements. Rahu in 6th is to be able to defeat enemies, and Ketu in 12th is potential placement for moksha,enlightenment...that's because there is a loss,suffering that leads to that.

I know a woman that has serious health problems in the form of lupus, and she's very spiritual too. she has 12th house ruler in the 12th house.

vedic astrologers look at the Navamsha (9th harmonic chart) as a 2nd main chart.

another thing...they also look at the chart through the chandra lagna perspective. That is that they use Moon as the ascendant,and start from there

so if Moon is in 7th house, then all the planets will be in the opposite houses of the ones that are in the main chart if looking at it from the Ascendant.
I have Moon in 7th in my vedic chart.

vedic astrologers look at transits mainly from the moon...chandra lagna

for instance...in Vedic...transiting Saturn is in my 7th house from the Moon. transiting Saturn is in 1st house from the Ascendant.

aspects work differently too

all planets influence the house that they are in and the opposite house.

Mars also aspects the 4th and 8th houses from its placement

Jupiter also aspects the 5th and 9th houses from its placement

Saturn also aspects the 3rd and 10th houses from its placement
