The anus thing isn't true (yet??? )...

What does yours say?

posted February 21, 2011 01:14 AM            

I'm a lunar Scorpion.
"Broad eyes, wide chest, round shanks and thighs, isolation from parents or preceptors, brown complexion, straight-forward, frank, open-minded, cruel, simulator, malicious, sterility, agitated, unhappy, wealthy, impetuous, obstinate."
Sounds about right.

Luckily, the anus thing was the result of forgetting to put in my birthtime! With my real birthtime, it's blood problems or something.

It's interesting, Western cookbook astrology is often sheer bullshyte too...with both Vedic and Western you have to get a reading from a real astrologer for it to be that helpful...but the Vedic stuff on that site, they're totally willing to say things like, "You will have great misery for your whole boring, sucky, unhappy life!"

Vedic Astrology is highly predictive,deterministic.

I studied it for a year.

I was actually very fascinated with it, and I really had no problem with it when I studied it.

I eventually felt that my cultural beliefs didn't fit well with me practicing Vedic Astrology.

Vedic Astrology is also known as Jyotish which means Science of Light.

When the Moon is in this placement the intellect is sharpened and the mind becomes inquisitive and is drawn to creative pursuits. If not aspected by a benevolent planet, it brings nervousness, anxiety, restlessness and a lack of focus. But the restlessness may not always be negative in that it may make you search and go deeply into something, resulting in accomplishment.
Moon is in Aquarius or Moon is in Gemini or Moon is in Libra.

You are kind to the masses, accepting of low class ways, very grateful because you feel you don't deserve much, very independent and accepting of hard work, interested in factual science and astrology, often found to be addicted to habits such as smoking or drugs. It is a beautiful combination for artistic expression with lots of feeling. It is good for being a worker for the upliftment of the downtrodden of the world. It is a very moody and depressive sign, often leading to mental depression, but with a twist of philosophy and religion involved. It can lead to very strong religious experiences and eventually a very strict mental composure.
Moon is in Aquarius.

You will have a soft body, excellent memory power, wide forehead, attractive eyes, bright countenance, prominent nose and bulged abdomen. You would appear to belong to an aristocratic family at first sight. You will not hesitate to sacrifice your own life for upholding the truth. As you were born with certain principles, you have to quite often confront with others as you cannot deviate from your principles of life. Selfless service is your motto. You insist on following religious traditions. You are also of the adamant type. Once you make a decision it is not easy for others to change your mind. While you are very intelligent and efficient in most walks of life, your are very soft at heart. You are a mixture of good and bad. When provoked, you will rise like a bulldog, but that anger is soon subsided. As you do not believe in pomp and show, you have a feeling of shyness to exhibit your talents. However, your talents will be unearthed due to your interesting and attractive conversation, which will be highly instructive and educational. Up to 34 years of age will be a trialsome for your professional field. After 34 years will be constant progress. You are highly suited for the practice of astrology, psychology and healing arts. Your literary capacity and greatness will come to limelight even when you are very young. You are capable of acquiring a very fine and high education. This Nakshatra has produced eminent doctors and researchers in medicines. Generally you have to face a lot of problems from dear and near ones. Even then, you always extend a helping hand to your family even without being asked. It has been noticed that you have to undergo maximum mental agony due to your brothers. You cannot enjoy much benefit from your father, whereas full love and affection is derived from your mother. It has also been found that you are not capable of leading a happy married life. While on the one hand you do not enjoy happy married life, your spouse will have all the good qualities that are expected of a companion. Outwardly you may appear to have very good health but it is not so. You cannot tolerate even the slightest affliction to the body. You are prone to urinary diseases, breathing trouble and diabetes. As you are too much inclined for sexual pleasures, you may have sexually transmitted diseases. Even though you may keep illicit relationship it will be kept a secret from all. You may have problems with your jaws. You are also liable to suffer from colic troubles and must take precautions to protect yourself from the diseases incidental to exposure to cold weather.
Moon is under star 24-Satabisha.

Moon connected with Mars indicates extreme sensitivity. The Moon/Mars person may also be reckless, explosive and impulsive in action.
Moon conjoins Mars or Moon is aspected by Mars.

This bodes well for the general well being of your mother.
Moon conjoins a benefic.

This bodes well for the longevity of your mother.
Moon conjoins the lord of the 4.

This is a good combination which increases the possibility for financial wealth but unfavorable for mothers. You are diplomatic and courageous, valorous, a fighter or boxer. May work with minerals, alloys, spirits and liquors or articles made of clay, leather or things noted for artisanship. You may suffer from a disease arising out of blood deficiency, impurity, poor circulation or blood imbalances.
Moon conjoins Mars.

When Mars conjoins the Moon, It is called "Chandra Mangala" Yoga. This will definetely give your mind a passionate streak. You are generally fiery and energized and you tend to be very impatient, pushy and quicktempered at times. Depending on the house the two planets occupie, and on other aspects they receive, your focus or your issues are in different life areas. It is said, that this combination can be very productive if it occurs in the second, ninth, tenth or eleventh house. If it's in the second, for example, it can act as a powerful factor in establishing your financial goals, because you're focused on money matters and wealth. Depending on whether Mars is a malefic or a benefic for the Ascendant, how closely it is conjunct the Moon and depending on other aspects, it could also mean, that you might suffer from emotional disturbances or feelings of anger and hatred at times, or that your relationship with your mother is somewhat afflicted.
Mars conjoins Moon.


You are one of "Saturn's own children". You are truly Saturnian in nature. This is good, and bad. Saturn is not a worldly planet, and so you are not. Saturn is connected with bitter reality, such as hard work and inevitable death. It rules also old things and the highest truths. So, "Saturn's babies" are the type of people who are very thoughtful and philosophical, tend to like old things in general, such as belief in "original, primeval truth" and decorations such as antiques. They feel a strong connection to the masses, the downtrodden, the poor and the workers. Their minds are floating up in the air in order to feel liberated from the harsh realities of this life. They accept the fact that life is impossible to fully "cleanse and purify" so they are often quite comfortable with never leaving their smoking, drinking, sexual liaisons, and overall "lower class nature". They make excellent scientists, astrologers and doctors because they accept bitter truth and can deal with it, but they can be very cold to those who don't share this Saturnian nature. Those whose Moons are worldly influenced can actually be quite scared by Saturn's own people. Saturn is a ghastly reality to many, and so those of us who are born in Saturn's own household can appear like the agents of morbidity. Saturnian people, who are comfortable in Saturn's dark domain of reality and truth should exercise discretion in how they deal with those still attracted to this worlds offerings lest they be repulsed by the frankness and down, dirty and straightforward honesty of your ways. You can be the ultimate friend of the dying, and the best counselor for those of whom the going has gotten really rough. Nothing scares you. You are already past the line of worrying about this life. You will probably never be able to be an "air-head" in this life, simply going about enjoying this world. With the truth of passing time and death approaching always on your mind, you instead devote yourself to higher, philosophical or religious pursuits.
Moon is aspected by Saturn, and Moon is in Aquarius.

You are passionate, possessing an attractive spouse from whom you acquire much wealth. Gain from voyaging, trade, speculation; water products; partnership. On land, from grocery shop, milk and milk products, chemist shop, hotel industry; commission agent and insurance agent. Avoid litigation, as Moon in the 7th house causes trouble and loss through it. You marry a devoted spouse who is also very healthy. Such a spouse alone can give full sexual pleasure. Gain from sale and purchase, roving on land or foreign trade abroad. You enjoy tasty food; sensual; thin and lean; vanquished by the enemy. The 7th house denotes marriage, partnership and enemies etc. You are handsome, healthy, wealthy and wise; famous; kind; always traveling, itinerant; dominated by spouse; debauch. Exalted, full Moon gives a beautiful & charming spouse; tand you yourself is wealthy and handsome. If this Moon is in depression, aspected or associated with a malefic, you know no peace or happiness in life. Squint; marriage after 32 with an unchaste person, arms attack; sweet and soft-spoken; palatial home; two marriages, if the lord is strong. Exalted full Moon, or of its own sign will give one marriage and contented with spouse only. You will be amiable, happy, will possess a good physique and be sensuously disposed. If the weak Moon be so posited, you will be pitiable and sick. Notes: If the Moon is in the 7th one will be happy spouse, will earn wealth in business in foreign places, will enjoy food, will sexually enjoy many partners, will be very sensuous and be liberal. There is difference of opinion among the various authors inasmuch as some say there will be wealth with this placement while yet others say this position will cause poverty. It obviously depends on the state and lordship of the Moon.
Moon is in 7.

You are a born land lord.
Moon is under star 24-Satabisha, and Moon is aspected by Saturn.

You can be mean, envious and avaricious of others' wealth. You speak much but you speech is not truthful.
Moon conjoins Mars, and Moon is in 7.

Vedic Astrologers typically don't use objects past Saturn.

If you noticed, Saturn is interpreted like an outerplanet. Rahu (North Lunar Node) and Ketu (South Lunar Node)are too.
Sidereal Zodiac and Whole Sign House system is used.

Rahu is the planet that rules Satabisha which is the nakshatra that my Moon is in.
Ketu and the 12th house is in Cancer which is the sign that ruled by the Moon.
Therefore, my Moon is connected to both Rahu and Ketu.

Ketu in 12th is even similar to Neptune in 12th in a way.

I happen to have that placement:

In your mind you think of spiritual life as real and true and so you know that material life is not the aim of life. This comes gradually as you get older, as material expectations are one by one ruled out as unfulfilling. Therefore, gradually through life, you spend more of your time and energy towards serving good causes. Also, in an attempt to sort things out in this transition, you become restless, and sometimes try to spend for pleasure, only to feel increased frustration. Overall, you should do well because of your sincere approach to life. Areas to try to prevent disease troubles would include the feet, eyes and private parts.
Ketu is in 12.

Ketu has a psychologically disturbing impact here, and often leads you into contact with the denizens of "the other world."
Cancer is in 12, and Ketu is in 12.

Rahu produces great sustaining power when placed in the Sixth house. Every physical impediment is mysteriously removed, success in temporal endeavors is assured, and diplomatic skill is developed to a considerable extent. You may not have much idealism in life and may even keep undesirable company. You will feel the allure of unethical, disrespectful or forbidden activities. Your strength, wisdom, valor and conscience are stable. This Rahu denotes destruction of the adversary. Gain of wealth, knowledge, vigor. No gain through uncles. Wealth through foreign leader type; trouble in back, for animals. Longevity, prosperous, of noble birth, Debauch. You may be a hero, handsome, intelligent, respected, well-known. If well-aspected, all the evils fade away. A strong Rahu indicates vehicular wealth. Progeny to uncle denied; or daughters only. Rahu in Sixth House promotes health and strength, trusted employees, favors service, fortune through paternal relatives; some income or employment. Benefit through prosperous uncles aunts. Danger from service in army or navy. Strong and brave. Radical, affluent, with conveyance. Jewelry, wealth and fortune. Robust health. This Rahu indicates an unstable mind of the father and maternal uncle. You may be infirm, imbecile, absence of enemies, friendly, full of riches. Black mole in the back. Death due to blow of stick, stone, animal, falling from tree or by drowning. You are patient, tolerant, prosperous.
Rahu is in 6.

Much traveling, sex with beautiful and high status persons, misuse of wealth, gain through foreigners, wealth, progeny, name and honor in later life. Sympathetic, idealistic and graceful, rational, interest in public affairs and politics, generous and helping, interest in decent residential buildings.
Rahu is in Capricorn, and Ketu is in Cancer.

You may join the armed forces.
Ketu is under star 9-Ashlesha, and Ketu is in star quarter # 1.

On the plus side, I liked it because it was so thoroughly blunt in it's perceptions. Most western astrologers sugarcoat the #*$( out of everything or will just leave out the darker elements.

Thing is, that's when I started to like more the fatalistic astrology in general. I don't like the sugarcoating that modern astrologers practice now - nothing's bad per se, the bad stuff is for evolution etc.
If I'm going to suffer like a dog, tell me that I'm going to do that, don't say that I will have a life filled with opportunities to grow.

That's the plutonian in me speaking - the first interpretations I read about Pluto were mostly about being reborn, and were positive. When the sh hit the fan, it finally dawned on me that you have to die in order to be reborn, doh.

So I'd rather read the old textbooks - if you're plutonian, get ready for everything that you ever cared about being taken away in the most brutal ways, leaving you feeling like you want to die; with Saturn, just be prepared to die slowly everyday, because you feel worthless and meaningless. And so on.
Of course, those happen so you can evolve and be a better person. So it's a good thing. Gawd.

"This is a very negative position for Saturn. You will face obstructions and failures in most areas of life. Education, career, finance, marital life, childbirth and love affairs will suffer very grossly. You will have too many enemies and will suffer further difficulty during old age. Relations and friends will bear ill feelings against you. Most of your landed properties would be under mortgage."

posted February 21, 2011 03:48 PM            

The thing is, ALL 12 placements seem to doom the person to a crappier life than I've had so far. I'm trying to decide which I'd rather have, and it's a lesser-of-evils situation for sure.

(my report was mostly positive, so fingers crossed for the other planets to overpower the good ole devil On the other hand, they don't use Pluto, do they? )

Vedic Astrologers don't use objects beyond Saturn.
They use whole sign house system.
They use Sidereal Zodiac.
They use nakshatras (lunar mansions)

They use whole sign aspects
but they include the following:
all planets aspect the 1st and 7th house from itself
Mars also aspects the 4th and 8th houses from itself
Jupiter also aspects the 5th and 9th houses from itself
Saturn also aspects the 3rd and 10th houses from itself
Rahu and Ketu don't cast aspects because they are shadow planets.

There is no trine,sextile is good
nor opposition,square is bad stuff

Sun,Mars,Saturn,Rahu,and Ketu are viewed as malefics

Venus,Jupiter are viewed as benefics

Mercury is neutral
depending if the Moon is bright or dim, Moon can be benefic or malefic

Planets that rule 6th,8th,12th houses (dusthanas) obtain a malefic nature

Planets that rule 5th,9th houses (trikonas) obtain a benefic nature

Planet that rules both a kendra (1,4,10) and a trikona is considered the Yoga Karkaka, and it supposed to have powerful,beneficial results in the house that it's in and the planet(s) that it aspects.

Chandra Lagna chart is also used.
That means that they look at chart with Moon as the Ascendant. Transits are mainly used with Chandra Lagna chart and not the Rasi (main chart).

Navamsha (9th Varga chart) is also used. It's used as another main chart. It helps determine overall picture and strength of planets. It's not used for marriage.
