Hi Shantaram,
You mentioned that venus, the lord of 2nd is aspecting 8 th house ( house of sudden changes) which is Aries in my lagna chart. In my navamsha, venus sits in aries. Does this enhance the effect of this aspect? Does this mean that there will be sudden change in my earnings ( both increase and decrease)?
venus 8th aspects own libra 2nd protective/supportive of finances may be sudden inflows, while as lord 9th negates to the 8th negating luck factor/support from father etc. venus aries impulsive in inter-personal interactions, venus benefic 8th weak in coping with major challenges probably, venus 8th prone to urological disorders, kidney troubles, etc
My navamsha has moon in 2nd house (taurus) but it is in 8th house in my lagna. Also, mars, the lord of 8th house is in 11 th house (deb) in my lagna chart and it is in its own house ( 8th house) in my navamsha. How does this translate in terms of the effects of deb. mars?
moon as 11th lord over elevated taurus 9th in the navamsa could suggest scope for sudden gains, gains through
hospitality industry, food processing, creative pursuits, psychology, education, research, etc, strengthening moon aries 8th
away from impulsiveness more towards determination-strength. promoting creativity-research.
debilation of mars cancer 11th cancelled by mars own scorpio navamsa, may be gains from occult-research aptitudes,
gradually though.
My navamsha has mercury in 11th house (aquarius) and saturn/rahu in 3rd house (gemini). Some say that there is a Kahala parivarthan between these two houses as the signs are exchanged between the lords. What is the effect of this?
navamsa a symbolic nakshatra chart, mer-sat exchange 3/11 houses could suggest gains through siblings-friends, writings, etc, while acq is reformist-innovative. sat-rahu gemini 3rd good for initiative, risk taking, etc though could impact sibling relations
sat being separative.
in terms of imposing the navamsa over the natal chart asc lord mer over the 6th acq in the navamsa tending to be scholarly and argumentative, asc over 6th prone to health issues, sciatica etc, intestinal issues.
sat-rahu gemini 10th tending to rise and fall in career,foreign assignments, information-analytical processing, etc.
Is Rahu in virgo (hasta) is a good place for this planet?
rahu friendly over mercurian intellectual virgo asc, while rahu moon's hastha nakshatra could tend to depression,
moon elevated taurus and vargottama being both in natal-navamsa and double strong energetic-creative-bold/stubborn
able to overcome the impact, though prone.
rahu tending to vitiate the emotional balance/rahu expansive, wild, tending to foreign lands/foreignness etc.
hastha opportunist same time, represented by the hand, grabbing opportunities.
sat-rahu navamsa tending to rise-fall. calling for ancestor worship.
When you look into the effect of planets, how much importance do you give to the degrees of the planet? and the degree of the lagna
yes deg of the planet useful, planets strong mid-deg, weak early/late deg in balyavastha-vriddhavastha not effective
in the deliverables.
Does my horoscope support a research career?
virgo asc critical and investigative, meticulous, moon 8th research orientation, may be intuitive, moon elevated creative taurus navamsa, mars scorpio navamsa with research aptitude, sun-mer scorpio 3rd research aptitude, gemini 10th analytical, asc/10th lord mer over scorpio, sat leo admin aptitude, sun 3rd admin aptitude, may be research administration,
jup 10th gemini career under stress, sat-rahu gemini 11th rise and fall to care. mer lord 10th acq navamsa 6th calling for extra efforts, acq reformist-innovative, mer 6th scholarly-argumentative.
what are your doubts on the research career, while having done your doctorate, what are your alternative thoughts on alternative considerations if any, astrology helps confirm own ideas/trends etc.
research could been original research, applied research, analytical support, etc etc and different subjects metallurgy, psychology, etc
by the way what research do you do, what is your subject. sharing ground facts helps, merely dabbling in planets, houses,
does not help as much, not able to address the issues practically.
would have more appreciated feedback on the reading already offered painstakingly, rather than merely raise new technical issues, navamsa, degrees etc. which are definitely useful. but build on what has been already said, sharing in relevance,
and then moving further, scrutinising further,
Take your time and let me know
Thanks
Kannan
