#malefic and benefic saturn

IS SATURN CONSIDERED A BENEFIC OR MALEFIC PLANET IN ASTROLOGY

In Vedic astrology, Saturn, known as Shani, is traditionally considered a malefic planet, but its influence is multifaceted and deeply nuanced. Saturn is the planet of karma, discipline, and perseverance, often associated with hardships, delays, and life lessons.

However, its role is not purely negative, and under certain circumstances, Saturn can act as a benefic force, bringing structure, responsibility, and long-term rewards.

Lets understand Saturn in both of its malefic and benefic aspects and the conditions under which it exerts its influence IN GENERAL.

Saturn as a Malefic Planet

1. Symbol of Hardships and Discipline: Saturn is often seen as a harsh taskmaster, symbolizing the challenges and difficulties one must face in life. It governs limitations, delays, and restrictions, compelling individuals to confront reality and learn life’s harsh truths. Saturn’s influence can manifest as obstacles in career, relationships, and personal growth, often requiring immense effort to overcome.

2. Karmic Retribution: In Vedic astrology, Saturn is the planet of karma, delivering the results of past actions. Its malefic nature arises from its role in bringing the consequences of negative karma to the forefront. This process can result in suffering, setbacks, or failures, which may feel punitive but are meant to correct one’s path and encourage spiritual growth.

3. Planet of Delay, Not Denial: Saturn’s energy is slow-moving and deliberate. It often delays rewards or achievements, testing an individual’s patience and perseverance. For example, Saturn’s transit through key houses or during periods like Sade Sati (the seven-and-a-half-year transit over the natal Moon) can bring significant challenges, fostering growth through adversity.

4. Association with Fear and Detachment: Saturn governs fear, detachment, and isolation. It often compels individuals to face their deepest insecurities, making them feel lonely or unsupported. This sense of separation can be distressing, contributing to Saturn’s reputation as a malefic planet.

When Saturn Acts as a Benefic Planet

Despite its challenging nature, Saturn can play a profoundly positive role under certain conditions. Its benefic influence often arises when it is well-placed in a natal chart or during favorable planetary alignments.

1. Favorable Signs and Houses: Saturn performs exceptionally well in its own signs—Capricorn and Aquarius—and in Libra, where it is exalted. In these placements, Saturn’s disciplined and structured energy manifests constructively, leading to success, stability, and authority. For example, Saturn in the 10th house (the house of career) can signify a strong work ethic and professional accomplishments.

2. Role as a Yogakaraka: For certain ascendants, Saturn acts as a yogakaraka, a planet capable of delivering auspicious results. For Taurus and Libra ascendants, Saturn’s rulership of both a kendra (angular) house and a trikona (trine) house makes it highly beneficial, promoting material success and spiritual growth.

3. Rewards of Hard Work: Saturn rewards persistence, discipline, and integrity. Those who embrace its lessons and put in sustained effort often experience long-term benefits, such as financial stability, career success, and personal growth. Saturn’s rewards are slow but enduring, emphasizing the value of delayed gratification.

4. Spiritual Growth and Maturity: Saturn’s influence fosters introspection and spiritual development. By forcing individuals to confront their limitations, Saturn encourages humility, resilience, and inner strength. These qualities are essential for achieving spiritual enlightenment and self-realization.

5. Transformative Periods: While periods like Sade Sati or Dhaiya (Saturn’s two-and-a-half-year transit over key houses) are feared, they can also be transformative. These times often lead to significant personal growth, helping individuals overcome ego, build character, and align with their higher purpose.

Saturn’s Dual Nature: A Balanced Perspective

Saturn’s classification as a malefic planet is rooted in its role as a disciplinarian and enforcer of karmic justice. However, labeling it purely as malefic oversimplifies its complex nature. Saturn operates as both a judge and a teacher, delivering lessons that are tough but ultimately constructive. Its energy is essential for fostering discipline, responsibility, and long-term success.

The dual nature of Saturn can be summarized as follows:

As a Malefic: Saturn brings challenges, delays, and hardships, testing an individual’s resilience and patience.

As a Benefic: Saturn provides structure, rewards hard work, and fosters spiritual growth, leading to lasting achievements and wisdom.

Factors Influencing Saturn’s Role

1. Placement in the Natal Chart: Saturn’s influence depends on its sign, house placement, and aspects with other planets. A well-placed Saturn can mitigate its malefic effects and enhance its positive traits.

2. Dashas (Planetary Periods): During Saturn’s dasha or antardasha (sub-period), its influence becomes prominent. Whether this period is beneficial or challenging depends on Saturn’s position in the chart and its relationship with other planets.

3. Transits: Saturn’s slow-moving transits can significantly impact life events. Favorable transits can bring stability and success, while unfavorable ones may lead to delays and obstacles.

4. Individual Karma: Saturn’s role is deeply tied to an individual’s karmic baggage. Those with positive karma may experience Saturn’s energy as constructive, while those with unresolved negative karma may face greater challenges.

In Vedic astrology, Saturn is a complex and influential planet, traditionally categorized as malefic but with the potential to act as a benefic force.

Its energy is challenging, compelling individuals to confront their limitations and embrace discipline, hard work, and perseverance. Yet, Saturn’s lessons are ultimately aimed at fostering growth, maturity, and spiritual evolution.

By understanding and respecting Saturn’s dual nature, individuals can navigate its influence more effectively, transforming challenges into opportunities for lasting success and fulfillment.

Arudha Lagna in the Signs

Arudha Lagna is how others perceive us (especially society/public/media). It is our projected and illusionary personality. Referred to as “the seat of Maya” Maya=illusion/Rahu. Which usually differs from our true personality represented by our Lagna/ Ascendant.

How to calculate Arudha Lagna?

1. Find your Lagna/ascendant the Lord (Aries ascendant-> Mars)

2. Count how many houses from your ascendant Lord to your ascendant. (ex. how many houses mars is from ascendant= 8 houses)

3. Count that same number from Ascendant lord. That is your Arudha Lagna (ex. 8 houses away from mars= Aquarius AL)

Benefics sitting in the Arudha can give a positive public image. Making one appear good and trustworthy, even if they aren’t.

Malefics sitting in the Arudha/or ruling the sign can tarnish one’s reputation, making the public distrustful or critical.

For example- Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu sitting in AL can tarnish one’s reputation

Signs ruled by Malefics such as Scorpio (Mars & Ketu), Aries (Mars), Capricorn & Aquarius ( Saturn) doesn’t have as severe of an effect as a malefic siting in AL. But it does make one appear controversial or questionable to public at some point in time.

AL In Aries- Bold, competitive, intimidating, leader, pioneer, aggressive, action oriented, sexual/ promiscuous

Women tend to be accused of competing with other women or men competing with other men

Ex. Marilyn Monroe, Christina Aguilera, Muhammad Ali, Tyra Banks

AL in Taurus- Stable, grounded, Sensual, refined, gentle, patient, charismatic, trustworthy, noticed for voice, stubborn

Usually seen as harmless or down to earth. Like Libra, Venus ruled, they tend to be known for their sensuality & looks

Ex. Keanu Reeves, Rihanna, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars

AL in Gemini- intellectual, witty, youthful, curious, versatile, social, communicative, recognition from siblings

Tend to be recognized for their unique voice

Ex. Beyoncé, Madonna, Rita Hayworth, Mariah Carey

AL in Cancer- Sensitive, Gentle, Homebody, Comforting, Nurturing, Proud of country/heritage/family, Protective, intuitive, Caring, Empathetic, Moody, emotional

Home dynamics or family life can be put on the spotlight. Others see them a caring, mother like figure (unless malefic influence)

Ex. Princess Diana, JonBenét, Brandy

AL in Leo- Charismatic, Authoritative, creative, dramatic, Natural Leader, Arrogant, Center of Attention, Performer/arts, fashionable, someone of importance, Extroverted

Spotlight is always on them so they tend to gain fame & attention in whatever they do. Type to feel like all eyes are on you when entering a room.

Ex. Al Capone, Catherine Hepburn, Halle Berry, The Weeknd

AL in Virgo- Analytical, practical, intelligent, resourceful, reserved, health conscious, detail oriented, logical, rational, educated

They come off as controlled and put together. Can’t get them to react easily.

Ex. Prince Harry, Bruce Lee, Jennifer Lawrence

AL in Libra- Charming, diplomatic, balanced, harmonious, sociable, peaceful, intellectual, good at negotiating/comunicating, influential, Justice seeking

Tend to be either known for their beauty, charisma, or justice/law industry.

Ex. Monica Bellucci, Oprah, lady Gaga, Aubrey Hepburn, Barack Obama

AL in Scorpio- Mysteroius, intense, powerful, secretive, magnetic, respected, morally grey, dark, sexual/sexy, controversial, sensual, occultist/witch/astrologer, taboo, hiding secrets, Spiritual dangerous, seductive

Due to malefic Mars/Ketu influence they do tend to be very controversial but despite this they still turn out to be respected

Ex. Angelina Jolie, Sharon Stone, Pamela Anderson, John F Kennedy, Jim Morrison, Bill Gates

AL in Sagittarius- Optimistic, philosophical, adventurous, independent, wise, free-spirited, benevolent, Justice seeking, educated, Humorous, experienced, travels a lot

They are seen as knowledgeable and in-tune with other cultures. They make good comedians, business owners, teachers

Ex. Jeff Bezos, Jacqueline Kennedy, Adam Ant, Demi Moore, Hugh Hefner

AL in Capricorn- Ambitious, disciplined, responsible, structured. authoritative, grounded, serious, mature, dignified, sturn, wiser than age, melancholy, pessimistic, cold

The list is questionable because Saturn influence can, like I said, make one appear questionable depending on other influences. But they make good leaders, business owners.

Ex. Lana del Rey, Adolf Hitler, Charlie Chaplin, Angela Merkel, Brad Pitt

AL in Aquarius- Innovative, unconventional, intellectual, humanitarian, forward-thinking, eccentric, unorthodox, friendly, good with media/technology, rebellious, cares about welfare of society/world, leader, influencer

People usually say their style, ideas & attitude are ahead of their time, due to Rahu.

Ex. Steve Irwin, Cher, Tamera Mowry

AL in Pisces-Spiritual, imaginative, empathetic, dreamy, otherworldly, artistic, siren like, mysterious, gentle, kind, serious, spiritual/devoted, adventurous, open-minded, philosophical, interested in higher learning/knowledge, introverted, emotional

Seen as creative, artistic (music, art, acting etc). Inventing/creating something new. Emotional imbalance/mental illnesses might get public attention

Ex. Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Elon Musk, Picasso, Ariana Grande

Disclaimer- some of the people I listed have two Arudha Lagnas (ie Scorpio Asc or Aquarius Asc) ex Princess Diana Cancer & Aquarius AL

I tried to find both positive & negative representations

Astromartine has a very knowledgeable playlist; going more in depth for each Arudha Lagna & Arudha houses

Vedic astrology observations

Part 11

Or rather: information that I think people forget or do not consider

Enjoy 💕

1. Your Rahu and Ketu axis (signs, nakshatras, houses) is extremely important. To understand and live your life story, you have to look into those placements. Any planet associated with them (conjunct one of them) automatically becomes a crucial part of a person's life story and the themes represented by those planets or planet are like lessons you keep learning or themes you keep bumping into along the journey. There is a highly mythological element to Rahu and Ketu as they are always connected and they always tell a story.

2. Your Ascendant is the filter that everything in your chart goes through while expressing itself. I understood the true nature of the ascendant while revisiting the themes of my ascendant nakshatra and thinking that it was so like me, so me, and yet, it was not really me on the inside, it did not fully feel like me, I just lived it. Ascendant is like the thing you just have to do and go through but even though it's so present and so important, diving too deep into and overthinking those characteristics of yours may not be so healthy. Ascendant is basically the themes of Aries (natural ruling sign of the 1st house) and those include the struggles and uncomfortable sensations that a person has while coming into the body. You may not feel like your Ascendant or connect to it like you connect to your moon but you still live out its themes in the grand scheme of things. And it's important to treat it as what it is_ uniquely important but different from planetary influences. In a way, it's also "mythological" for a person, in a sense that its themes are obvious to everyone (sometimes it can be so straightforward and "in your face" that it might be dismissed) and directly associated with a native's life but it's first and foremost those things, not a deeply buried mystery in a person to be uncovered.

(In short: accept and love your ascendant, embrace it but don't overthink it and do not try to fix it or change it. It is what it is and it does not have to be deeply personal. You cannot really escape it. )

3. Malefics are not always malefics (except maybe the nodes). Saturn, for example, is traditionally malefic for every chart but that does not mean that it gives every single person a really hard time. Unlike other traditional malefics (Mars and Sun) Saturn is directly associated with "hard times", difficulties and obstacles in general. Malefics and Benefics can be personal, and those depend on the ascendant. If a planet rules houses that are considered "negative", even if it's a traditional benefic, then it becomes malefic. The same applies when traditional malefics rule "positive" houses. This is not the exact rule, as sometimes a planet can rule both a "good" and a "bad" house. You can search for benefics and malefics for every ascendant online, it's easily found.

Having Saturn as a benefic is an enormous advantage. Saturn is the real deal. Whatever it gives, you can rely on it. You might struggle with its lessons but once you're done, the reward is true and truly valuable. I've found that, for me personally (Saturn is a benefic for me), Saturn antardashas were never as horrible as people described, and the areas of my life that were represented by the houses that Saturn was transiting in my chart were actually going as I wanted, in many ways. Because I'm also familiar with Saturn's energies (I have Sun conjunct Saturn on the same degree), I have understood its patterns of working in my life from early on. Humility is natural for me, but that does not mean that I don't struggle with it. The good thing about a benefic Saturn is that struggle itself is not a struggle, I'm accustomed to Saturnian energies and as many people have said, including me, Saturn rewards as solidly as it punishes. Saturn is great, I like Saturn.

4. D9 (navamsa) signs work as a layer rather than an alternate chart. The signs are like understones to the D1 and color the native's personality in a truly meaningful way. It's subtle, but it is, in fact, important. I think any individual resonates to people who share one or more D9 big three (Sun, Moon, Ascendant) with them. True for me. I think that even if they're not exactly compatible based on D1, when D9 big three signs (at least one) are the same, there's a natural understanding on a subtle but meaningful level. And you know how you should technically resonate to multiple based on D1 but only a fraction of them feel truly resonant to you for some reason? They likely share D9 big three signs with you.

I'd like to quickly state here, for the hundredth time, that there are no nakshatras in D9 or any divisional chart for that matter. Online calculations might show them but they also show outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto_ only used in tropical) in nakshatras too, so...

I have multiple posts about this and you're very welcome to read them but I can't deal with more insufficient arguments like "it's debated", "some people say it's really accurate". Like, think for your yourselves, and maybe after reading my posts about that you can come to your conclusion about if they make sense or not.

Some observations about D9 big three (any) in some signs:

Aries: action-oriented and unintentionally blunt, sometimes don't realize how they act, self-reflection is a bit of a struggle but they still do it, can act without thinking much.

Gemini: cerebral and often in their head, love variety, trust their mind more than their intuition or feelings or gut, can analyze too much, versatile, flexible, naturally social.

Cancer: unbelievably sensitive and can be passive-agressive, understanding but self-focused, can be aviodant, not really direct, comfort means a lot to them, secretive but their small actions betray them, may need time to process things, kind-of self involved but often unaware of it.

Leo: pretty direct, love to properly indulge in everything they do, don't like lukewarm or "half here half there" people, basically put their heart into everything, can be too fixed or rigid in their views, value loyalty.

Virgo: have a pure and "clean" aura, simple (in a good way), often express themselves in a clear, precise and clinical way (no matter how they really feel), often they are minimalists, can freeze when they're anxious.

Libra: hate agression, others may accuse them of not having a spine, truly undersranding but also impartial.

Scorpio: no matter how it looks_ they are serious and intense, understand how manipulation works, may feel like outcasts, a tad bit (or not so slightly) vengeful, very protective of their energy.

Pisces: sensitive and flexible, can understand almost anyone and anything, humble yet detached, have something ethereal about their aura, have a broad viewpoint, may have something about them that makes them look like they're "lost".

Do not have substantial info to share about Taurus, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius navamsas in big three, yet.

5. The strength or influence of any planet in any chart should also be observed from the placement of the planet itself, not from just activations in the nakshatras and signs ruled by them. Of course, those have their influence too, but if we're talking about tge influence from two opposite planets, for example, Sun and Saturn, and a native happens to have a nakshatra ruled by one of them (and does not have a nakshatra ruled by the other) in big three, you should still see if that other planets falls in the 1st or the 2nd house or is conjunct any of the big three (maybe even chart ruler, atmakaraka or Ketu). Chances are that person might feel influenced by that other planet, especially if that first planet is not in good dignity. All planets each manifest their influence differently when they're present as nakshatra rulers from the influence of their own placements.

6. The destiny of Rahu in signs, simplified:

Aries: to act

Taurus: to enjoy

Gemini: to communicate/get across

Cancer: to be safe

Leo: to express

Virgo: to cleanse/purify

Libra: to balance

Scorpio: to transform

Sagittarius: to explore

Capricorn: to build

Aquarius: to influence

Pisces: to transcend

The base/foundation of Ketu in signs, simplified:

Aries: identity

Taurus: resources

Gemini: intelligence/intellect

Cancer: safety

Leo: self-posession

Virgo: clarity

Libra: balance/harmony

Scorpio: depth

Sagittarius: truth

Capricorn: status

Aquarius: influence

Pisces: wisdom

Just a reminder: astrology is best learned from observing and double/triple/quadruple checking the facts yourself. Despite this, the mythological nature of it makes intuitive perception kind of necessary to truly grasp it and understand it. I'd advise to write down your observations or to note them otherwise but do not share them or be sure of them unless you have sufficient proof and enough examples. Also, sometimes your personal experience and a pattern you're very familiar with is enough, there's no need to find an example from media or celebrities. I feel like everyone is just throwing random senstences around on astrology blogs these days and very few of them actually say something of value or make sense.

That's one of the reasons why I'd really appreciate confirmations from you in comments or reblogs or otherwise, on this and other posts too. My posts get a lot of likes but not many get enough comments or reblogs and yeah it would be nice to make my posts more visible, but mainly I just want genuine feedback from people. That's why I want more exposure anyways. So, if you want to comment your example(s) or personal impressions do not think that you're being annoying, that's exactly what I want.

[vianeptvne]

the planet that holds rulership over the 1H/ASC can be referred to as the chart ruler, the planet that has the most significant impact on how the native is perceived by others, their physical appearance/vitality, and their approach to life. i recommend looking into the planet, the sign it's in, and the aspects it's making to the rest of your chart, as this will provide more context into how the energy will manifest in your life. to find your chart ruler, identify your rising sign, the planet that traditionally rules it, and where in your chart that planet falls.

─ aries/scorpio ascendants are ruled by mars, taurus/libra ascendants are ruled by venus, gemini/virgo ascendants are ruled by mercury, cancer ascendants are ruled by the moon, leo ascendants are ruled by the sun, sagittarius/pisces ascendants are ruled by jupiter, and capricorn/aquarius ascendants are ruled by saturn.

🪩˚✧ ₊˚ʚ ─ RULER OF THE 1H IN THE 1H

when the chart ruler resides in the 1H, matters of the self are ignited and extremely prevalent. the native is being called to develop their identity and self awareness in this lifetime. this also indicates that the ways in which these individuals go about expressing themselves will be very prominent. their independence can be of great importance to them, and they could struggle in situations where they feel like their individuality is being impeded upon. they prefer to lead and not follow, which can work to their advantage in terms of being pioneers and inspiring others, but may also cause strife in terms of their relationship to authoritative figures in their lives.

if the planet holding rulership here is a benefic like venus or jupiter, assuming that neither of them are afflicted and aspect the rest of the chart more so positively than negatively, this energy will work to the native's advantage. they tend to be very charismatic and wise, (energetically) attractive and magnetic, and very charitable and giving by nature, all qualities that tend to make them fit for leadership positions. in terms of physicality, venusian/jupiterian influence over the 1H can indicate a stronger/weaker vitality of the lower back/hips, liver, kidneys, and pancreas. appearance-wise, these native's could be on the curvier/fuller side, and have round, soft facial features.

on the other hand, if a malefic like mars or saturn is the planetary ruler, there may be an evident learning curve in regard to self-expression and the relationship to the body. natives with these placements may encounter far more conflict in their interactions with others than the average person, as they typically have a very stoic, domineering, authoritative, and potentially aggressive energy about them that can rub other people the wrong way (especially if these people are fellow martians or saturnians themselves).

they may rely too heavily on their "brutal honesty", and have to work towards developing the social awareness and empathy needed to maintain functional relationships. regardless, the hardships they encounter in life (typically in youth) tend to work as the fuel that ignites the resilient and persevering qualities within these natives that people do admire about them. in terms of physicality, martian/saturnian influence over the 1H can indicate a stronger/weaker vitality of the head (headaches/migraines could be prominent), the cardiovascular system, adrenal glands, pelvis, skin, teeth, tendons/ligaments, and bones.

🪩˚✧ ₊˚ʚ ─ RULER OF THE 1H IN THE 2H

when the chart ruler resides in the 2H, matters of one's personal material possessions are of the utmost importance. these natives may find that they are being called to not only find and maintain a sense of physical security for themselves, specifically in terms of their income and home, but explore what it is that they assign worth to and why. these natives may have been conditioned from youth to view their self-worth as synonymous with how much money they have, the quality of the clothes they wear/food they eat, how nice their home/car is, etc.

it's also a possibility that these natives may use their identity or physical body as a means to make money (e.g. socialites/models, athletes, etc.). this is especially true if the sun is the planetary ruler here, as these natives can utilize their personalities and their bodies as a "resource". this can further amplify the instinct to take pride in their wealth, and while this isn't inherently negative, these natives may need to be mindful as to not become overly superficial or egotistical in the ways that they assign worth to material possessions. in terms of physicality, the sun's influence over the 1H can indicate a stronger/weaker vitality of the heart, spine, and upper back.

if the moon is the planetary ruler, it can be a very intense experience, as the moon is representative of our sense of security, both mentally and physically. therefore, if the moon is aspected positively in the natal chart, and there aren't any malefic planets present in the 1H or 2H, this can manifest positively in the sense that the native is less likely to run into any turbulence in terms of finding and maintaining stability in their domestic lives. whereas if the moon is afflicted and/or malefics are present in either the 1H or 2H, the native may encounter more hardships and feel insecure about their money/living situation.

these experiences may have been more prevalent in their youth, and it's possible that the mother/maternal figure had a significant impact on the native's relationship to money and material possessions. this can also indicate that their emotions play a significant role in what it is that they do to make money, they could work in the medical field, with children, in the food industry, real estate, etc. in terms of physicality, the moon's influence over the 1H can indicate a stronger/weaker vitality of the chest/breasts and stomach.

🪩˚✧ ₊˚ʚ ─ RULER OF THE 1H IN THE 3H

when the chart ruler resides in the 3H, matters of the native's immediate environment play a significant role in shaping their identity. early academic experiences, siblings (or any close relatives), and their neighbors could have a strong impact on the their sense of self. they may find strength in having a community that they feel they can rely on. this can also indicate recurring aspects of the native's routine could be formative and integral to their character (e.g. the podcasts/music they listen to, the park they take their dog to, the library or cafe they study at, the books they read, etc.). this could also indicate great communication/writing skills, these natives may be very talkative by nature, and could enjoy discussing their academic interests.

if a benefic planet holds rulership here, the energy of this house tends to manifest in a productive way, assuming that the planet in question isn't afflicted. for example, if venus is the planetary ruler, the native can express themselves in a way that is very persuasive and charismatic. they could be skilled networkers and find ease in maintaining harmonious connections with people within their community, this may indicate meeting potential partners through their community as well. this could also manifest as the native having multiple siblings. these natives may also have an affinity for the arts, and excel in creative fields, especially related to singing or writing.

on the other hand, if a malefic planet holds rulership here, the native could encounter more strife related to matters of the 3H. for example, if saturn is the planetary ruler, they may encounter limitations within their immediate environments, as well as conflict between themselves and their siblings or neighbors. these natives could struggle with anxiety when communicating with others, which may stem from difficulties in early education, as they may have processed information or communicated in a way that was different to the students around them. they tend to communicate in a very "matter-of-fact" way, and tend to come off very authoritative, whether they intend to or not. despite their hardships, the restriction and delays they face serve to teach them the value in this area of their lives. these natives typically grow to become skilled thinkers and communicators.

🪩˚✧ ₊˚ʚ ─ RULER OF THE 1H IN THE 4H

with the chart ruler in the 4H, matters related to one's domestic life will have a significant impact on the native's character. those with this placement might also have the chart ruler conjunct the IC and therefore opposite the MC, which may indicate strife between the private/public life. generally speaking, while we are all conditioned in some way shape or form by our upbringings, i would argue there's a choice in how much of it we carry into adulthood. for those that have their chart ruler in the 4H, they may find it difficult to separating the ways in which they were raised to think and behave from their actual identities. they can be very private in nature, and family, lineage, and ancestry tend to play a large role in how these native's view themselves, for better or for worse.

if a benefic planet like jupiter were to hold rulership here, this would be indicative of one's domestic life having a positive impact upon the native, assuming that jupiter isn't afflicted in the natal chart. these natives may come from a very big (potentially well off) family that act as a positive influence and support system for them. they could've travelled a lot as children, lived abroad, or were introduced to and learned about cultures that were different from their own. their heritage can be of great importance to them and their family. they could also have very prolific ancestors, and may be able to trace their lineage back for generations. ultimately, their families could've shaped them to approach life from a very charitable perspective. these natives may be very open-minded, and express themselves in a way that others find to be very receptive and warm.

whereas if the ruling planet is a malefic like mars, it could indicate a tumultuous upbringing. home life for these natives could've been very chaotic growing up, they may have received "tough love" from their families more often than nourishment. it could've felt as though their parents were "coaching" them more than they were actually raising them, which could lead these natives growing up to be very strong and assertive in adulthood. it could manifest in the opposite way, though, where it could've felt like their families broke them down rather than built them up, and they could struggle with a defeatist attitude as a result.

while these natives usually have to work on any potential impulsive, self-destructive behaviors. they will benefit most when they use their emotions as fuel to go after what it is they want out of life. they have the stamina to work through any obstacles they may encounter, alongside the drive and determination to achieve their goals. they typically have leadership qualities about them that others tend to value, and can be very independent and self-assured by nature.

🪩˚✧ ₊˚ʚ ─ RULER OF THE 1H IN THE 5H

with the chart ruler in the 5H, matters related to creativity and romance tend to be very significant in the native's life. personally, i consider the house of "good fortune" to be one of the best places to have your chart ruler. these natives tend to have little to no difficulty in expressing themselves, and usually find ease in showcasing their talents and originality. their charismatic, imaginative nature is something that those around them tend to pick up on quickly, and they could find that it's a characteristic that others find attractive as well. this placement can also indicate that romance and love play a significant role in shaping the identity of the native as well. children could also be a formative factor for some with this placement, but the 5H signification of children could also simply refer to the act of bringing life to one's imaginative ideas.

when mercury is the planetary ruler here, these natives are able to utilize their mental agility to express their artistic side. they can be extremely engaging storytellers, and they tend to have a very captivating energy that draws people towards them. as a result, they can excel in creative fields related to writing or the performing arts. they would also bode well in professions related to teaching or academia. they may have the ability to convince those around them of quite literally anything, and they could have a tendency to overpromise or even manipulate others, especially if mercury is afflicted here.

they may also have to work on their ability to focus, as their minds can be very fast-paced. they may nurture children (whether it be their own or others) by building their intellectual confidence, and instilling in them the importance of their artistic talents. they may also be attracted to people who stimulate them mentally, they could enjoy partners who they can converse with for hours on end and never run out of things to talk about. in terms of physicality, mercury's influence over the 1H can indicate a stronger/weaker vitality of the nervous system and lungs.

if the planetary ruler here is the moon, there's typically a passionate, emotional attachment to one's creative endeavors. they may be able to express themselves creatively in a way that allows them to connect with others in a very intimate, sentimental way. as a result, they can be viewed as very empathetic people by nature. their family, upbringing, and/or mother/maternal figure may have played a significant role in shaping how they express themselves and navigate their artistic side.

they can be very protective of this side of themselves, and may fluctuate between wanting to get their creations into their world and being more reserved or timid in displaying their creations to others. this protective nature can also extend to children (whether it be their own or others), as they seek to nurture children and ensure that they feel safe and secure in their presence. they can also be very romantic by nature, and their partners can be very formative to their identities, therefore it's important that the relationships they maintain are healthy and keep them feeling safe and emotionally stable above all else.

🪩˚✧ ₊˚ʚ ─ RULER OF THE 1H IN THE 6H

with the chart ruler in the 6H, matters related to work, daily routine, and wellness can play a significant role in shaping the native's identity and approach to life. natives with this placement more often than not will find themselves in positions where they are of service to others. the vitality and overall health of the native (or of those around them) can also be a prominent theme in their life. animals may also play a large role in their lives, whether that be their own pets, service animals, animals that they train/care for, etc. the native's job can also have a significant impact on their approach to life, and i say "job" as in the customer-service jobs that people take to keep the lights on and pay off debt, not necessarily the career that the 10H signifies.

if the planetary ruler here is the sun, the native is typically going to show up in this area of their life with a very confident, determined attitude. these natives will usually derive a sense of pride from their work, no matter how minuscule it may seem on the surface. they also tend to care deeply about their health, and may prioritize having a healthy lifestyle not only to maintain their physical vitality, but to upkeep their physical appearance as well.

they may find purpose in caring for others as well, but it's important that they ensure that they have an identity separate of that, so that they're not constantly putting other peoples' needs before their own, especially if the sun is afflicted in the native's chart. others typically view them as being very charming, jovial, and charitable people. they may be the type of friend that others feel they can depend on in times of need, which is why it's important for them to have balanced "give and take" relationships with those around them.

if the planetary ruler here is saturn, the native tends to be very disciplined when it comes to their work and wellbeing. in youth, they may have struggled in this area of their lives, and may have encountered issues related to their health, or encountered conflict in their place of work. despite how prominent these issues may have been, it essentially shapes them to be very responsible when it comes to how they take care of their bodies, as well as how they approach their work and the people that they work with.

others may look to them for guidance, as those with this placement tend to do well in positions of authority. others tend to view them as being very reliable and strategic, but they may need to ensure that they're not overextending themselves for others or "pouring from an empty cup" so to speak. similar to having the sun as the planetary ruler here, these natives need to prioritize boundaries, and maintain balance in terms of how much of themselves they are giving to others.

🪩˚✧ ₊˚ʚ ─ RULER OF THE 1H IN THE 7H

when the chart ruler resides in the 7H, relationships and close connections will play a very formative role in the appearance, behavior, and lives of these natives. while the 7H does represent romantic relationships, people tend to confine the signification of the 7H solely to romance. when in reality, the 7H is more so representative of contractual relationships and the committed, intimate bond that is formed through them (e.g. marriage or business partnerships/relationships). having the chart ruler here can indicate that the native is characterized by how they relate to others, and the connections they form with those around them. these natives may have a tendency to "mirror" the mannerisms and nature of the people they have close relationships with.

if the planet that holds rulership is a benefic like venus, this can generally manifest in a productive way. these natives tend to be very charming and energetically attractive, characteristics that typically earn them a good reputation amongst others. their approach to life can be influenced by a need for comfort and stability. maintaining harmony and balance is of utmost importance to them, especially in their close relationships. it's important that they maintain healthy connections with others, as this is a placement that could prefer to "keep the peace" rather than be honest about their feelings as a means to avoid turbulence or conflict between themselves and their loved ones. these natives also tend to be artistically gifted, as they have the ability to see the beauty in all things and have a keen eye for aesthetics, therefore, they may do well when collaborating creatively with others.

on the other hand, if the planet that holds rulership is a malefic like mars, the ways in which the native connects with others tends to be on the rougher, more "abrasive" side. these natives may enjoy relationships with people they feel can take what they dish out in a sense. with the productive manifestation of this placement, the native will find healthy ways to express their martian energy in their relationships through healthy competition and debates. on the flip side, if mars is afflicted in the natal chart, there can be a tendency for domineering or argumentative behavior within one's relationships. depending on the full context of the chart, this can be a placement that can provide a level of passion and perseverance that can work in the native's favor, especially in regards to any business endeavors.

🪩˚✧ ₊˚ʚ ─ RULER OF THE 1H IN THE 8H

when the chart ruler resides in the 8H, matters related to shared resources, death, and transformative experiences will be prevalent and shape the native's approach to life. these natives may encounter loss more frequently than the average person, and find themselves going through cycles of rebirth multiple times throughout their lives. things such as debt, taxes, inheritance, or any material things that they share with others can play a significant role in shaping their identities and how they navigate life. they could find that they need space to themselves to heal or "regenerate" in a sense, and could have a tendency to self-isolate for periods of time. due to this, others may view them as reserved or potentially hard to read.

if the planetary ruler here is the sun, this would amplify the impact that the 8H has over the native's identity. it's possible that the father (or any relevant paternal figure) played a significant role in shaping the native's identity and their approach to life, for better or for worse, and they could potentially gain or lose money due to their father. they may have experienced crisis that led to prevalent insecurities in their self-expression. due to this, they can be very private in nature, and potentially struggle to feel understood by those around them. despite this, the hardship they've experienced tends to shape them into extremely adept healers. they understand life on a more complex level than most, and therefore are able to empathize with those who have experienced great adversity in life. they may find that through expressing themselves, they're able to aid others navigate their own personal struggles.

if the planetary ruler here is the moon, there tends to be a significant impact on the native's emotions and domestic life. contrary to the sun in the 8H, the mother (or any relevant maternal figure) will play a significant role in shaping the native's identity and approach to life, for better or for worse, and they could gain or lose money due to their mother. these natives can be very emotionally reserved, and find it difficult to express their feelings, potentially due to strife they may have faced in their youth. despite this, they tend to understand the human psyche extremely well, and are able to read others with ease. they may experience turbulence in their home lives, especially regarding financial stability. as a result, it's important that these natives build a home for themselves where they feel safe and secure. they can also be extremely artistic, and find ease in expressing their emotions through a creative outlet.

🪩˚✧ ₊˚ʚ ─ RULER OF THE 1H IN THE 9H

when the chart ruler resides in the 9H, expansion through spirituality and/or higher learning will be extremely formative to the native's identity. these natives are typically characterized by their sense of wanderlust, and have an insatiable hunger for knowledge. they could have very restless spirits, and as a result, travel frequently or seek to live abroad. their ideals and personal philosophies are of great importance to them, they could come across as "preachy" at times, but ultimately, they're just genuinely impassioned about the things that they believe in. they could be academics, and benefit from having mentors who not only teach them, but play a role in shaping their identities. this could manifest the opposite way as well, where they grow and evolve to a point where they can mentor and teach others.

if the planet that holds rulership here is a benefic planet like jupiter, the native is usually characterized by their optimistic nature. others tend to percieve them as jovial, uplifting people to be around, and they could have an affinity for the finer things in life. they may be very dedicated to the spiritual or religious practices that they follow, and utilize these beliefs as means to guide them through life. while these natives tend to hold their principles near and dear to their heart, they're not averse to learning about other people's viewpoints, as they tend to be very open-minded and receptive to new ideas and others' perspectives. if jupiter is afflicted here, though, it could manifest as a tendency to overindulge in vices, and overestimate one's abilities and therefore underdeliver at times.

if the planet that holds rulership is a malefic like saturn, the native may have had experiences in their youth that culminated in them feeling constricted in their beliefs and self-expression. they may have grown up in a religious household that shaped the way that they approach their relationship to the "divine" and spirituality. school and the process of learning could've been strenuous, and it may not have been until they were older that they were able to pursue a higher education and rectify their feelings surrounding academia. with time and maturity, these natives can experience growth through exploring the ideologies that are unfamiliar to them, rather than rejecting them out of fear.

🪩˚✧ ₊˚ʚ ─ RULER OF THE 1H IN THE 10H

when the chart ruler resides in the 10H, the native's identity is deeply influenced by their profession and public perception. for these natives, their self-worth tends to be intrinsically linked to their professional lives, for better or for worse. they're typically characterized by others as someone with a very strong work ethic, and therefore can find themselves called into positions of leadership. the native's reputation also tends to be a very prevalent theme in their lives. there could be an inherent need to find balance between one's obligation to stay true to themselves and the responsibility that their career entails. the relationship to one's parents (or any relevant authority figures) shapes the way that these natives feel about and approach their careers.

if the planetary ruler here is venus, these natives tend to be very easygoing in nature, and therefore tend to be regarded highly by both their peers and superiors in their professional lives. they can utilize their talents to work through any hardships they encounter in their career in creative ways. they typically have a very compassionate nature that their peers appreciate, and this characteristic can benefit them in terms of supervising or managing their subordinates. if venus is afflicted here, there is the potential for this to manifest as an avoidance of conflict. therefore, it's important that these natives to recognize that both their benevolent and authoritative sides can (and must) coexist so that they can be the best leader that they can be.

on the flip side, if the planetary ruler here is mars, these natives tend to be very confident and forthright in their approach to their professions. they can be extremely motivating people to work with due to their ambitious and driven nature, and therefore excel in positions of leadership. they're usually very energized and passionate about their work, and can have a tendency to be competitive. while this isn't inherently negative, this can be a placement that can instill a sense of "intimidation" in others. if mars is afflicted here, the native could struggle with being too brash with their peers, or encounter power struggles with authority figures, and could develop a reputation for being "difficult" to work with at times. these natives usually must work towards recognizing the importance in being able to work in a team, and don't prioritize their independence over professionalism.

🪩˚✧ ₊˚ʚ ─ RULER OF THE 1H IN THE 11H

with the chart ruler in the 11H, the native is characterized by their personal aspirations and goals, as well as the company that they keep. their approach to life is usually shaped by the connection that they have to others, whether that be their friend group, colleagues, or an organization or club that they're a part of. this can also indicate that the ways in which they're received by others plays a formative role in native's self-perception. these natives are can be very fortunate and gain a great fortune through the bonds that they form with those around them. this doesn't necessarily indicate material gain (although it can manifest that way), but it can also indicate gaining knowledge through others or gaining opportunities through networking.

if the planetary ruler here is the sun, the native will identify heavily with matters of the 11H. the native may have gained some form of fortune or knowledge through the father (or any relevant paternal figure), and the native's relationship to him may have played a significant role in shaping their aspirations. these natives can be very "magnetic" in nature, and find that they attract others towards them with ease. although, this doesn't necessarily mean that they will have a myriad of friendships or have the capacity to maintain these connections. on the contrary, it may be difficult for these natives to find people that they truly relate to. these natives usually seek to attain connections with like-minded people, and excel in friendships where there are common, shared goals between themselves and the other person. they tend to find their purpose through the causes that they dedicate themselves to, and may find themselves in positions of leadership among groups and organizations.

if the planetary ruler here is the moon, the way that the native navigates their identity and their approach to life will be shaped by the emotional connections that they form in group dynamics, as well as their emotional connection that they have to their goals. these goals could be related to the native's domestic/family life, or the domestic/family life of others. these natives are usually defined by their charismatic and empathetic nature. the native may have gained some form of fortune or knowledge through the mother (or any relevant maternal figure), and the native's relationship to her may have played a significant role in shaping their aspirations. these natives may have to work towards developing and maintain boundaries in the connections that they have with others, as they can struggle with identifying too heavily with the person that others view them as, versus the person that they actually are.

🪩˚✧ ₊˚ʚ ─ RULER OF THE 1H IN THE 12H

with the chart ruler in the 12H, matters of the subconscious will play a significant role in how the native navigates their life and identity. having the chart ruler in the house of endings and spirituality and can lead the native to feel as though they're "in between worlds" in a sense. they could struggle with feeling misunderstood more often than not, as they tend to have an air about them that others perceive as evasive. they find more comfort in the imaginative world they create for themselves. they benefit when they find ways to bring life to their visions, and are often gifted enough to manifest these things into reality. these natives would benefit from implementing spiritual practices into their lives, and finding ways to ground themselves to maintain balance between their need for introspection and isolation, and practicality and rationale.

if the planetary ruler here is jupiter, the native may seek spiritual knowledge and growth. these natives tend to luck out even when they encounter loss, as this placement can indicate spiritual or divine "protection" in a sense. those around them typically characterize them as very giving, charitable individuals. they may have to work towards not being overly self-sacrificial, and learn to implement and maintain boundaries with others. these natives may also need to be cautious of drugs and alcohol, as this placement could also potentially manifest as addictions. ultimately, these natives are typically able to utilize their intuitive and creative talents to heal both themselves and others, and are typically figures that others look to for guidance and wisdom.

if the planetary ruler here is saturn, the native tends to prioritize growth and self-discipline. despite saturn being a malefic, it rejoices in the 12H due to it's desire to retreat, introspect, and develop. this doesn't necessarily mean that this placement is "easy", as saturn in the 12H can also influence feelings of self doubt. for these natives, they're essentially being called to recognize the ways in which they sabotage themselves, and to dismantle the fears and restrictions that they place upon themselves. with time and maturity, it becomes easier for these natives to navigate these hardships. they grow to develop a strong sense of self-awareness, and through doing so are able to hold space for others, but most importantly, they're able to sympathize with themselves.

Astrology Observations

Tropical Version (not a fully detailed exploration of certain placements)

⚠️⚠️Do not take these seriously; this is based on my observations of certain placements. This is for fun!

Sag, Leo mercuries are so both super funny, but they express it very differently. Sag are the type of say something without thinking about it fully, but Leo mercuries once they get to know you will know what makes you laugh because they know what will. Leo mercuries are hilarious when telling stories, Sag mercuries are hilarious at commentary! (E.g berlezzy and coryxkenshin have sag mercuries and they have so many memes of saying funny things impulsively)

9th house placements in benefics 🤝🏾 doing well at college even when they don't try/ 9th house placements in malefics 🤝🏾 getting a bad grade for a assignment you studied 10 hours for

For those who do have Venus in the 9th (potentially Venus in Sag), look where yout Venus/DSC line is in astrocartography and lmk if you seem to attract foreigners from there or not. I have my Venus in the 9th and my Venus/DSC is in the heart of Paris/Madrid/ and Morroco and I find a lot of my lovers are from one of those places or at least 300 miles from those cities. Maybe look with your Jupiter/DSC line to see as well as Jupiter does represent yur husband 🤭

Saturn in the 1st house being born with model features. They literally have bone structure made from heaven as well. But they might have large teeth as Saturn does rule the teeth. Some may have big jaws as well

I know many people say Libra risings are sculpted from heaven earth, which I will not deny😋, but I find that Libra risings especially born 2004-2006 grow into their looks with time. Even if they have Venus-ASC aspects.

Saturn in the 3rd 🤝🏾 will ask a lot of questions just wanting to know more about the subject of conversation and unintentionally due to that Saturn influence it can seems that they are being critcal in some form or fashion.

Venus-Neptune/ Neptune in the 7th/ Neptune in the 5th: Have a whole crafted image of their partner that is completely opposite from reality at times. They can project their fantasies onto people but when they dont meet them 🤮 goes through their mind LOL. Gotta start seeing what people are for who they are it will save heartbreak in the future💀

6th house dominants love being englufed with perfume. If you see someone with a big ass perfume collection, they probably have 6th house promience. They loveeeee smelling good!

Gemini Mercuries are so underrated when it comes to how funny they are. I swear they are so good at reading the room and saying the funniest thing at the right time.

Pisces placements (especially Pisces rising, Moon, and Mars) have to deal with so much projection on a constant basis. People will look at a Pisces and just make up a story about them and push that projection whether its for good or not onto the Pisces person and being the Neptune they are they will take it as their own. People be seeing Pisces as weak and I hate it. But onto my second point:

People naturally underestimate Pisces and Libra placements due to their easygoing, non confrontational nature, but let it be known about their opposite house (Aries for Libra and Virgo for Pisces) and what they have to deal with when they step out of that nature. I know Tyla is a Aquarius rising, but she to me is a great example of what happens when a Pisces or Libra stick up for themselves😭 People were quick to call her uppity but when she stood up for herself on Twitter, people were gagged for some odd reason??

Those with Mercury-Chiron aspects, how is your relationship with your siblings?

Leo placements (Sun, Rising, Moon) can stifle themselves due to their need of validation and praise. When they dont get the praise they were expecting (even for bomb ass ideas and such) they will forget about it and toss it to the side because they didn't get validated for it. Most Leo's do well once they stop craving validation and praise from others and start learning to trust themselves with their ideas. They unfortunately lack self trust as much as they appear to have it.

This was my detailed not detailed observations of the placements, I hope you liked it!

astro observations #4

- The idea that your north node = fate and destined path doesn’t feel accurate. After all, north node aka rahu is literally illusion and material obsessions and is also considered a malefic in multiple astrological circles. I find it to be more of an indicator of what our fantasies and guilty pleasures may be.

- People with prominent Leo/Aquarius axis tend to focus their astrological study on their personal placements from what I noticed. As they get deeper however, they start to venture into what other placements might be like. But for most part, the focus tends to be on their placements first.

- 7th/8th house placements tend to be the opposite, being very curious to know why people around them, their role models, and others in general act the way they do and therefore using astrology to understand that

- 9th house placements are the ones who study every placement just for the sake of it or out of curiosity, some 3h placements might also

- Taurus + Leo = curly hair

- Taurus placements, especially if aspecting Lilith or mars or coupled with mars ruled placements, tend to be into vampires bc throat (Taurus) and blood and injury (Mars) as well as the seductive/taboo nature of vampires (Lilith)

- 3h Saturn/ 3h in Capricorn might take quite a while to get their drivers license

- What others tend to say about u : 3h from 7h : aka the 9h.

e.g. 9h in Aquarius : people talk about how you’re unique, popular or friends with a lot of people, humanitarian. They might also discuss how you’re eccentric, disconnected or apathetic.

- Whatever houses are ruled by Venus in your chart can give you an idea of how your relationships impact you as well as how you behave when in a relationship.

e.g. Libra risings have Venus ruling their first and eighth house, they tend to have very transformative relationships that end up changing them completely. They might also benefit from personal glow-ups during certain relationships thanks to their partner’s resources. Opposite can be true with weak Venus or malefic influence on the houses of Venus.

- 8h is underrated as an intelligence indicator. That’s the house of research, uncovering mysteries, and finding out the hidden. If one of the most common intelligent tropes -detectives and mad scientists- work within 8h themes, that is for a reason

- 6th house Lilith could indicate suffering from eating disorders.

- I noticed that even people who don’t know anything about astrology (sometimes especially them lol) tend to have markers of their signs all over their online presence. my ardra stellium friend has pearl as his username (ardra is symbolized by the diamonds and jewelry), a lot of shatabisha (especially the men) like wearing bracelets and rings (reminiscent of the empty circle that symbolizes shatabisha) etc.

- 10th house could signify what traits do you have that are different or stand out from ur family. For example, Jupiter in the tenth house could mean different beliefs, maybe a taller build compared to your parents, I also see it as which members of your family do you resemble the most. 10th house Jupiter might look like their grandparents while 10th house sun their dad, and moon their mom etc.

- Saturnian tend to be gatekeepers because Saturn = scarcity and limitations.

- 4h mars/sun could indicate having more close male friends n vice versa for 4h Venus/moon.

- Sun nakshatras and ashwinis look really good when the sun is shining on them. They might be particularly fond of golden hour selfies.

- 11h synastry can indicate starting a business together, whether it’s benefics or malefics will indicate if the business will succeed or not.

- Lacking aspects to the luminaries can mean feeling disconnected from your parents, as if there’s a certain distance between you and them that can’t be bridged. An empty 3h + unaspected 3h lord can also indicate feeling that way towards your siblings.

- A strong Mars + Venus = good dancer. Also prominent dhanista and snake yoni Nakshatras (Rohini, mrigashira).

- Anna Popplewell and Nancy ajram look similar and I found they have quite the similar placements besides both having nodal (Ardra/Mula) and Saturnian (Uttara Bhadra/Anuradha) influence.

Nancy Ajram (Top) : Jupiter in Anuradha, Sun DK in the first Degree, Sun and Mars in Krittika, Ketu in Mula.

Anna Popplewell (Bottom): Venus in Anuradha, Sun DK in the first degree, Jupiter in Krittika, Sun, Mercury, and Saturn in Mula.

this is it for today <3 please don’t hesitate to share if any of this resonates!

🫀Astrology Observations 4 🫀

🍂 if more planets are in your 3rd, 2nd, 1st, 12th and 11th house, you'd more probably work in the public eye. Conversely, if they are in 4th, 10th, 5th, 9th, 6th, 8th or 7th house, you're more likely to work at spaces where you're "hidden".

🍂 I know it is said that sun opposite sun in synastry can bring sexual tension and "opposites attract" energy to a relationship but every Libra Sun I know hates Aries Sun and vice versa. This is especially more pronounced if they have mercuries opposing each other too (since mercury is almost always in the same house as the sun). Their feelings become exposed to each other and it shows up in the communication. Of what I've understood, libras feel that aries suns are always trying to assert dominance, be too straightforward and talk over them. Aries Suns feel like Libras are too passive and hate how they try to be diplomatic. To an Aries, it is hypocrisy/manipulation and not diplomacy.

🍂 Sadly, having malefics in the 5th house is my number 1 indicator of someone who has been cheated on before. I've noticed that even one malefic (like Rahu, Sun etc.) with a benefic (moon, venus) here can still indicate failed relationships.

🍂 6th house synastry is literally "you're coming along with me" and a as a 6th house moon, I cannot stand people I don't have this dynamic with.

🍂 I absolutely understand why 12th house synastry is hated so much as it does add an element of "hidden" to it. I have a 12th house venus and I've always had to "hide" my relationship from socials because I cannot risk people finding out. That's because I come from a conservative country where dating is still supposed to be not talked about until and unless you're getting married. So context matters. However, when I do get a double whammy at times, I had to be extra careful and hide the relationship from even friends, it was usually always a karmic planet making contact with my 12th house Venus (ketu, Saturn). So I understand the hate for it in western countries. Lol.

🍂 Let me tell you about another auspicious yoga in the natal chart: Gajkeshari yoga. Gajkesari Yoga is formed when Jupiter and the Moon are in the same house or when Jupiter is in the 1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th house from the Moon. It is supposed to bestow one with knowledge, be victorious over their enemies and be a good communicator.

🍂 Synastry aspect that I really like: when a partner's moon falls into your 5th house, the house of romance. I especially love this because my 5th house is empty and the moon person understands my language of romance with so much empathy. I love this one.

🍂 virgo-scorpio conjunctions in any way makes for one stubborn mf. I have two friends with a virgo stellium in the 8th house (scorpio's house) and a scorpio stellium in the 6th house (Virgo's house) and they can be super headstrong in relationships as both of their stelliums houses have venus. I watch both of them being super stubborn in love. Different angles though. While the 8th house stellium friend is super adamnt on her beliefs of love, the 6th house one is super nitpickey of her partner's actions. The 8th house stellium is nit picky about herself and how she conducts herself and then the 6th house stellium person is super stubborn of her personality.

🍂 capricorn risings, leo risings and venus 10th housers are often viewed as trophy wives/husbands.

🍂 Wherever neptune is, or whichever planets neptune touches, you tend to lie in those aspects. If it touches benefic planets, it makes you good at lying and getting away with it. Eg. I knew someone who had a Venus-neptune conjunction and he constantly lied to his partners to keep them around, I have mine in the 1st house and for the longest time, felt that I needed to improve my appearance = lie (surgery, make-up) about it to be perceived better.

🍂 Another liar placement I've realised is rahu (north node) in the 8th house. Why? I still haven't figured it out.

🍂 ohk. I may be wrong but the reason why Saturn is a "malefic" is because it can literally bring out the karma in the themes of your houses in the most vicious way. If it's not conjuncted by benefics, a strong saturn can be also an indicator of death of significance related to the house's theme. Let me give you an example, I have a Saturn in the third house which is also my lagnesh, since third house is the house of siblings, I'm a single child. My mom had a miscarriage when I was a kid. Similarly, my mother has saturn and ketu conjunction in the 4th house (childhood home, mother's home) and she lost her father at a young age, pushing my grandmother to be the protector and provider of her household. Absolutely heartbreaking. Another example I saw was this girl's saturn in the third and she lost her baby brother at the age of 26. 💔

I don't mean to scare you but I think you should definitely see if your saturn is conjuncted by a benefic or if the zodiac it's in is exalted or a benefic because that would reduce the harshness of Saturn. 🥲

🍂 I'm jealous of 2003 born babies tbh. That was the year a lot of people's chart have exalted planets. Someone I found had 8 exalted planets (especially Jupiter and Saturn) like damn! Y'all must really be happy because the rest of us mortals are struggling out here. 🫠

BEFORE I GET INTO THIS, I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT THE CELEBRITIES/PUBLIC FIGURES THAT ARE LISTED HERE ARE USED FOR AN EXAMPLE TO HOW IT COULD MANIFEST IN ONE'S CHART. I DO NOT SUPPORT THE ACTIONS OF SOME OF THE PEOPLE I HAVE LISTED, THANK YOU.

♇ before we expand about the planetary joys placements, we need to understand what it is about.

♇ planetary joys comes from hellenistic astrology, so nothing after the planet saturn [uranus, neptune and pluto], are not included within the belief. but planetary joys is about where the traditional planets in rejoice in a chart. [where they work the best].

SUN ⟶ 9H; the house of God.

MOON ⟶ 3H; the house of Goddess.

MERCURY ⟶ 1H; the house of Helm.

VENUS ⟶ 5H; the house of Good Fortune.

MARS ⟶ 6H; the house of Bad Fortune.

JUPITER ⟶ 11H; the house of Good Spirit.

SATURN ⟶ 12H; the house of Bad Spirit.

♇ in this, the benefic planets, venus and jupiter are associated with the benefic houses. [5H AND 11H].

♇ in this, the malefic planets, mars and saturn are associated with the malefic planets. [6H AND 12H].

♇ sun, saturn and jupiter are diurnal, meaning it's at the top of the chart, the morning or the day. whereas moon, venus and mars are nocturnal, meaning its at the bottom of the chart, the night.

♇ mercury can be both since it's on the helm, the ascendant, the first house.

♱ to have saturn in the 12h shows that how you interact with fame is karmic, how you treat your money and your finances will follow you into the next life. you could be considered as a celebrity who is hard to connect with, or a person hard to connect with in general.

ASTRO OBSERVATION: Sun & Your Father:

I decided to make this an entire post. Accuracy will be influenced by the entire chart. If you're comfortable, please share your Sun placement and experience with your father.

Sun conjunct Saturn - Father or other authority figures may have high expectations. Father may be loving but reserved when it comes to showing it. Father may be demanding. Father may be a workaholic - or distant due to a diff reason. Desire to be a child again to go back to having the father's unconditional love. Or love always felt conditional.

Sun conjunct Mars - Father is assertive. Father may have anger issues. Father is action-orientated. Father is a powerful person. Father is a leader. Father is a fighter.

Sun conjunct Ketu - If negative You may be detached from the father. Father is absent for important events - ex: Father is away during your birth. Father fails you in some way.

If in the 3rd H, your father’s first marriage may have failed. Father could be dead or a deadbeat - aspects to benefics + good condition 9th H can influence this to be positive.

The positive outcome the father is religious/spiritual in thinking. The father gives you freedom. The father is well-travelled or cultured in some way.

Sun conjunct Venus - Your father is well-liked/popular. Your father is a social and easy-going person. Your father isn't assertive. Your father seeks balance - will compromise to keep peace. Your father likes to be comfortable or likes to be well-dressed, up to trends, show off wealth. Father can be indulgent or lazy too. Aspects + condition of 9th H can change this.

Sun conjunct Mercury - Your father could be your best friend. Your father is a communicative person. Your father is immature. Your father is more like a sibling, friend or business partner than a parent. Your father could work with his hands. Your father could be intelligent. Your father may be a reader, collector, he may like games - sudoko, poker, wordle, etc.

Sun conjunct Moon - If unafflicted, your parents could get along together/work well together. Your parents may be similar in viewpoints + influence on you. Malefics in 4th H, 10th H, 9th H, 3rd H can drastically influence the above. There is either a harmonious connection or a consistent conflict.

Sun conjunct Jupiter:

Generally, this shows your father could be religious. He may enjoy broader topics - politics, religion, etc. He may be optimistic & joyful person. He may lecture or preach. He may have a big ego. He may have status and/or respect. He may take risks + be carefree. He may not be the most reliable person. The entire chart will influence accuracy.

A positive outcome would be he is very supportive, very generous, a mentor to you.

A negative outcome would be he is narcissistic, he is egotistical, he refuses to see things from other perspectives.

Jupiter’s influence on Sun expands the Sun’s traits. Possibly indicating your father may be “too much” of something. Depending your entire chart this will vary - ex: too demanding, too overbearing, too self obsessed, too indulgent, etc. It could be positive as well tho - very kind, very loving, very wealthy, etc.

EXAMPLE: Franz Kafka had Sun conjunct Jupiter. He had a complicated relationship with his father. The following is a quote written by him to his father:

“I would have been happy to have had you as a friend, as a boss, as an uncle, as a grandfather, even (although more hesitantly) as a father-in-law. But as a father you were too strong for me.”

“too strong” suggesting Franz may have felt his father to be an overwhelming presence in his life. Jupiter expands Sun’s energy to the point that the placement becomes overbearing and a burden.

Sun Conjunct Rahu

This can show you may dislike authority. You may have disinterest in a relationship with your father until a much later age. You can have a lot of anger. This can show domestic violence or other serious issues in family home - your own home or the one you come from.

Example: John Lennon has Sun conjunct Rahu.

For most of his upbringing, his father was absent. He didn't know who his father truly was - Rahu tends to fog things up, creating illusions and deceptions.

Once John had found success in music, his father re-appeared in his life. This can be connected to Rahu's immoral influence - Rahu makes one greedy, seeking reward and shortcuts. His father wasn’t there when John was building his career but he desired to be a part of his success.

It's common (but not always promised) that with this placement, you and your father resolve issues later in life. John had made peace with his father while his father was dying. John was quoted saying:

“And then he died and left me this book, which has filled a big hole in my life.”

:: saw this on twitter and just... sigh

saturn does WORSE in aries for those reasons. being all hotheaded and quick to move and start something vs taking it slow, planning, putting in the work and laying all the appropriate foundations

saturn does better in libra since it's a cardinal air venusian sign and so yes it sits and ponders, creates all the necessary structures, considers both sides (pros and cons etc)

if we think abt saturn as a judge, would u rather want the hot-headed judge or the diplomatic, fair judge? the one who makes a decision quickly or the one who may take too long, but delivers a fairer decision?

just because saturn likes a sign doesn't make the sign bad!!! it means it does BETTER in the sign.

Hii!🤍 could you do indicators that could be prone to having nightmares ?

────────────────────────

🤍 Chiron 12h—Biggest indicator, but not the only one. These placements hold a lot of pain in their subconscious and are more prone to reliving their trauma in their sleep. Lots of sleep issues growing up.

🤍 Moon 12h—The feeling of comfort is lacking here as well, especially connection to self and the mother. The mother who nurtures our mind and soul is fundamentally missing, and the trauma can cause the native to rehearse the situations over and over.

🤍 6h stellium—Controversial, but the body can become stressed out, especially if there are malefic planets sitting here. Or, if there are aspects to malefic planets. The body takes on the stress which affects the mind. They can dream of bodily issues, self image issues, situations where their esteem is lowered.

🤍 Scorpio placements-Either has dreams that come once in a blue moon that are nightmarish, or has very vivid dreams. Usually dreams of abandonment, paranoia, and lack of trust in relationships. Same for Chiron 12h/moon 12h.

🤍 Mercury 12h—Facing your worst shadows in your sleep. Facing your fears, doubts, everything you run away from. Can create lots of sleeping problems, and is prone to being afraid of the dark more than usual.

🤍 Negatively aspected moon—Regardless of where the moon is placed, if it’s negatively aspected it can create nightmares. The moon relates to our sleep schedule and our patterns.

🤍 Mercury conj. Pluto/saturn/NN/SN—Mercury can denote nightmares when conjunct malefic placements. Mercury rules the mind so nightmares can create instability in the mind and the sleep schedule. Mercury conj, saturn is more so long term insomnia, and nightmares.

🤍 NN/SN conj. Moon—Can also bring nightmares as well since these are malefic placements coming into contact with a benefic (moon) and the moon rules our sleep, comforts, and primal subconscious. So, whatever is lingering in our subconscious that is related to our trauma is brought up in our sleep.

🤍 Mercury harshly aspecting Pluto/mars/saturn—Can also bring nightmares as well. Mars creates internal conflict and tension, and if the native doesn’t find a way to express that tension, it can bother their sleep.

Astro Observations

(and maybe even controversial opinions)

Where 4h/cancer is placed can tell you about your home’s size/condition, especially childhood home.

Saturn= small/may feel constricting, Jupiter= large

poorly aspected/malefics/debilitated= ran down home/broken things.

Prey yonis (deer, rat, goat) feel safer in a group & in familiar places. Being by themselves or new places alone can cause anxiety. When out sometimes they feel that they are always in fight or flight or something’s around the corner.

Predator yonis (lion, tiger, snake) may not feel the same way. They may feel sure in themselves and how they can protect themselves. Tiger & snake yonis in particular might feel better off alone. Since both are solitary animals.

Debilitated planets aren’t bad, it just makes the person work a little harder to reap the benefits in that area. Whereas, exaltation comes easy. Which can sometimes make one lazier in that particular area, because there’s no drive. (the same with easy aspects & hard aspects)

For example,

Exalted Pisces Venus (naturally effortless beautiful, “woke up like this” minimal makeup)

Debilitated Venus in Virgo (Cosmetic procedures, tailors, professional makeup, gym trainers, spa, personal stylist/hair stylist)

Venus in Virgo/Scorpio usually tend to be even more beautiful because they actively work to put effort & keep up maintenance.

Mars in Capricorn (wake up early no alarm, straight to the gym, knows exactly their task and when to do it, doesn’t have much trouble with procrastination).

Mars in Cancer/Taurus (might need schedules, alarms, set tasks, mentor/motivator).

Saturn in Libra (gets benefits from hard work right away, not much struggle young, no problem with discipline)

Saturn in Aries/Leo/cancer (rough start in life/a lot of set backs, takes longer to see benefits or gets it after Saturn return/30s, has to actively work on their discipline).

Debilitated Saturn after hard work in younger years, later in life, they usually achieve gains & become a household name.

People tend to say Jupiter is luck. But to me it’s excess. In this world we associate excess=luck. (ie you have a lot of cars, money, children, etc) When it’s not always the case.

For example,

Jupiter in the 7h (Being in a lot of relationships or marriages. But the downside is it doesn’t last because Saturn represents commitment.

Marilyn Monroe multiple divorces

Drake dated a lot of women but no serious relationship.

Jupiter creates a surplus in whatever it touches. But it is not longevity, unless Saturn aspects Jupiter.

A planet that is a benefic can act as a malefic if debilitated & poorly aspected.

If Jupiter is debilitated & poorly aspected it can turn into a giant malefic. Because Jupiter expands what it touches. Rather it’s negativity or positivity.

Some say Mars is where your drive and aggression is. But I see it more so where you get injuries, accidents, or aggression towards yourself or others.

For example,

I’m Aries Ascendant; My Mars/lagnesh is in Virgo/6h. My most serious injuries came from doing mundane tasks around the house. I faced workplace aggression from coworkers & sometimes customers too. Also, I tend to face health issues that affect my daily life. 6h/virgo rules daily activities, physical health, workplace, coworkers.

Mars just went retrograde December 6. I can already see it’s affect on my daily routines/6h. Nonstop nausea, bloating, stomach issues, & headaches everyday. Virgo rules stomach/nervous system. Aries my 1h/Asc rules the head

My whole schedule is out of wack. Today, I dropped my breakfast on the floor and burnt my lunch lol.

Mars, Mercury, Uranus, & Jupiter are all retrograde right now. If you are taking the necessary precautions and your planets are in good dignity, you should be fine. Though it’s still going to be quite frustrating for most people.

Transits mainly do the most damage if you have debilitated or poorly aspected planet that is going retrograde.

Malefics going retrograde to some degree affect almost everyone negatively, but not in the same way. What area varies from chart to chart; the sign/houses it sits in.

Outer planets affect us as a collective. Inner planets affect us personally.

Even though in traditional Vedic/jyotish Uranus, Neptune, Pluto isn’t considered. I still see the planet’s nakshatras/signs/houses in a chart influence a person’s life. Especially, if they aspect personal planets like Sun, Moon, Ascendant.

[marsprincess889]

Some planetary conjunctions and how they might manifest

Let me know what you think

...

1. ♀️☌♃

Venus conjunct Jupiter_ abundant Venus and liquidated Jupiter.

Venus is a fierce, reductive force, but one that is ultimately geared towards pleasure. Jupiter is a growing, amplifying, adundant force that must ultimately be reduced and crystalized. Venus exalts in the Jupiterian Pisces in Revati_ the last nakshatra, connecting the two. It's the goal of the two benefics that symbolizes the completion of the journey. Jupiter must give to Venus, who in turn will use that abundance for beauty, order, harmony and pleasure. Venus is also associated with death, so these two joining is really the way of the end, in the most perfect sense (ideally).

Venus-Jupiter conjunction means that a native cannot separate beauty and love from morals and spirituality. Some interesting ways that this might manifest in the mundane:

A native is pure hearted and generous, valuing loyalty, politeness and all things traditionally "good" (Jupiterian) in a Venusian way, meaning that they consider their mundane/tribal laws and values the same as their moral/spiritual alignment. If they feel betrayed, they won't hesitate to stand their ground and defend their stance, often fiercely and without much fuss.

Native seeks to find friends in people who align with their deep-seated values, who understand them on a spiritual level and fit into the material manifestation of their ideal reality.

They understand that not every ideal can be materialized, but they try their hardest to live their preferred utopia.

They are extremely defensive of their own personal philosophy and understanding of the world.

Their spirituality might be deeply connected to love, attachments, romance and sex. They might idolize those things and worship the idea of them, or they might worship their lover.

They might be attracted to Jupierian figures, people who are nourishing and have a tendency to guide them.

Despite what many would think, because of how they appear, these people are not unfamiliar with the occult. They might understand or practice it unknowingly and naturally.

They have a need to ground their ideals in the physical reality somehow.

This one is random: they might like sweet and sour food (food that is both sweet and sour). (I have this, I do...)

Some interesting biological coorelations: Venus is sour and Jupiter is sweet. In the same way that sour taste biologically has a reductive or "pacifying" effect on a cellular level (corrections are welcome I'm not a biology major😶), and sweet taste has an activating effect, Venus reduces and "refreshes" while Jupiter is like the "Yes man" of the planets, encouraging everything and anything. There is obvious danger associated with overconsumption of sweet food.

It's why this conjunction is considered so auspicious. Jupiter is already giving to Venus and Venus is nourished through Jupiter's abundance and spirituality.

Also interesting is the fact that both are abundant and considered benefics. They're the only two planets that are traditionally always benefic. Venus-death association is also because of how the ultimate pleasure can lead to death, because there is nothing else to achieve, Venus is the goal (Also interesting to connect this to Bharani nakshatra_ the beginning and the end, like Revati(also the beginning and the end)_ the exaltation of Venus, both elephant yonis). Sweet and sour food, despite being percieved as opposites, both have a negative effect on teeth (teeth are Saturn_ natural malefic). While being considred auspicious, they need to be under moderation, and can only be indulged in when the structure(teeth_ Saturn) is perfected.

These people might come across as "too nice", "too sweet" or "too good" to some people, they might be viewed as innocent or seen in an idealized light.

A lot depends on the sign, house and the nakshatra placement, as well as on potential aspects to other planets or the dignity of both. This placement does not mean that life is all sunshine and rainbows, but it does mean that one area of a person's life is lucky. The degree of that luck varies based on factors I just listed above.

2. ♄☌☊

Saturn conjunct Rahu_ destiny blockage/ denial of destiny

Saturn and Rahu are both cold planets that induce anxiety. Saturn deals with restrictions, blockages, challenges, limits and time. Rahu is the destiny of a person, the desire born out of Ketu, that which you never had but crave and feel like you must have.

Both relate to the material. Saturn brings about the material results from its controls and limitations, Rahu is the Maya itself, the percieved reality. Saturn restricts and denies, while Rahu makes you shake from the sheer craving of it.

This conjunction might feel like a cruel joke of fate. What a person desires most is denied from them. It's like, life pushes you towards it (Rahu) but then denies is harshly (Saturn). Despite the Saturnian limits, this placement won't leave you alone, because Rahu never does.

Imagine that you want something, maybe unwillingly, that circumstances and people around you always seem to push you towards it, but you also feel judged for wanting it/to do it, and that you also feel judged for not doing it.

In this aspect, the circusmtances can be interpreted from the nakshatra placement of Saturn and Rahu (and Ketu, because they're always connected), what you want can be seen in the house placement as well the nakshatra and the sign.

(This coming example is not from my chart) For example, if that the conjunction occurs in the sign of Gemini, the nakshatra of Ardra in the 5th house, and let's say Ketu is in Mula in the 11th, the person is pushed towards creativity and self-expression that includes a lot of other people(Ardra). They might want to mingle at large parties and express themselves creatively with others in an analytic and cerebral way, they might want to be respected for their logical mind and for suitable education. They might want their creative works to have collective value, and to have opinions that spark discussion, but they might never have felt worthy of it, they might thunk that they're stupid or that everyone will judge them if they dare to express themselves, because they might have experiencied that before in their life.

This is a constant tug-of-war between caution and leaping. If another planet aspects this point(esp conjunction), it becomes of immensely major importance, also given that Ketu is on the other side. A lot of what the native experiences with this feels out of their control.

I imagine there comes a time (or many) when this proccess leads to a crirical point of release, when the native has to make a decision. How gradual or immediate it is depends on everything else connected to it (sign, nakshatra, house).

Saturn is going to reward you eventually if you do everything right, and Rahu is going to calm down once you accept it and pay little attention to it (balance it with your Ketu).

3. 🌙☌♂️

Mars conjunct Moon_ sensitivity and reactivity

Both Mars and Moon represent both. Moon is sensitive and its reactions arise from the influence of others. Mars tries to defend itself because of their sensitivity and reacts out of that necessity, against whatever most others have decided.

For example, a moon dominated person's first instinct might be to try to find comfort in the surroundings when they feel sensitive, to mesh with and adjust to others. A person more dominated by Mars is most likely going to do something different and draw a clear line to set themselves apart.

When those two planets are together, a person might struggle between those two. They might react impulsively and emotionally when they feel threatened, they might angry-cry. Not necessarily a victim mentality placement but when reactions and actions are tied to the emotional and mental subcouncious of a person, they're bound to have some dramatic reactions sometimes. They also impulsively decide things on their own and might blame circumstances later if they do not work out.

Their mother might be/have been a domineering or bossy person, rarely considerimg the feelings of the native while making decisions.

These people feel fragile naturally, but they're very much capable of defending themselves. The thing is that that takes a lot of their energy that could be saved or spent doing something else.

They might also feel passionate about certain things/causes in a "more than average" intense way. They tire themselves out.

Moon is milky, cold and placid. Mars is pungent, heated, spicy. If Moon is dairy, Mars is chilli or garlic. So, there is a certain balance within this individual, but it's always at the risk of overacting or overinvesting, especially if one or both planets are not placed favorably.

Even then, this placement has a risk of unnecessary aggression (or aggression presented as care), especially when it's placed in a tense/triggering nakshatra like Dhanishta (even though Mars is exalted) or in an intense sign like Scorpio, despite the fact that Mars does well in both of those places on its own.

4. ☀️☌♄

Sun conjunct Saturn _ humble soul, integrated ego

So this one is interesting and kind of classic, because Sun and Saturn together is quite a pair.

Traditionally, they're considered enemies, but in the case of people ruled by their nakshatras, theose people work extremely well together.

Natives who carry this conjunction are used to feeling small and inferior since they could remember.

Sun is the soul, Saturn is the limitation. Soul is limitless on its own and immortal in its essence, and despite the fact that Saturnian material boundaries do not kill it, they still give it a really hard time.

Saturn is basically the "maker" of the in-carnation (coming into the body) in a sense that it rules time, finite-ness and all things tangible. In a way, Sun is more solid and crystalized, but it also cannot shine to the full extent that it wants to.

This placement gets easier and easier with time and it's not the worst affliction that a person can have. It's still stable (unless there's also Mars, Moon or Rahu involved) and constructive on some level.

It still does mean that Sun is afflicted by anxiety and nervousness though.

These natives need to develop an immunity to being intimidated and ridiculed. They have to learn to let the unnecesary doubt go.

They might feel like they can never get away with anything. It's like, one way or another, they can never avoid punishment, even if others somehow can and even if it seems unfair.

There is an air of seriousness with them when it comes to their personal lives and individuality. They might not like overly jovial people and are hesitant to trust them. Depending on the sign, house and nakshatra placements, this is going to expand to the areas that they represent.

If, for example, this point is in Gemini, in Punarvasu, in the 4th house, this is going to affect the way they communicate and connect to family members and people close to them, also their subconcious and sense of safety. If it's in Scorpio, in Jyeshta, in the 7th house, it's going to affect their partner(s) and enemies, their competitive side, how they present themselves to everyone who isn't them, who they consider to be "the other". If it's in Aries, in Krittika, in 9th house, it's going to affect their sense of self in the grand scheme of things, their beliefs and philosophy, what they consider to be morally good and correct or not, how they define themselves within the world as they see it.

both mars and saturn are naturally malefic planets and naturally, harm the house they are sitting in. when these planets sit in the upchaya houses (3,6,11), then their immense malefic energy is converted into courage, valor, and strength. it is best when these planetss sit in the 3rd house, however. 3rd house is the house of initiation. having mars in this house increases the quality of leadership in the native. it makes them especially brave and gives them the opportunity to master the negative side of their mars and make it even more auspicious. even having a maraka mars is good in this house because it will repeatedly put you in positions where you are made to realize and accept your negative qualities, and also rewarded for mastering them. saturn in 3rd house disciplines the fluttery, airy nature associated with this house. of course, curiosity is still pretty much the trademark of any 3rd house placement, but saturn here disciplines one's efforts towards learning in younger years and taking initiative when older. in particular, it bestows the power of impressive speech that is enough to make heads turn.

benefic planets in the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 9th, 11th / laxmi houses or laxmi yoga

in the horoscope, if the 1st lord, 2nd lord, and 11th lord are situated in self-owned sign, then the person will be rich. if the mutual zodiac sign exchange of the 2nd and 11th lord is happening or 11th lord is in 11th house, then one attains lakshmi. if the lagnesh is located in 2nd house and 2nd lord is in the 11th house or 11th lord in the second house of the horoscope, then lakshmi yoga is formed. in the horoscope, if the moon is located in an auspicious zodiac along with venus but not in the sixth house then good wealth is attained. this is really a very lucky placement imo. goddess lakshmi personally gives her blessings to these people, and for hindus, it is highly recommended to pray to goddess lakshmi with a genuine, clear heart and revere her as a mother. however, do be cautious that you also pray to shri vishnu because goddess lakshmi rides an owl, and owls on their own bring darkness. when goddess lakshmi comes into ones life with shri vishnu, they come on the king of the birds, garuda and spread light and divinity into one's life.

the mahapurusha yogas

having any of the mahapurusha yogas is literally a lottery ticket placement lmao. the planet forming the yoga immediately becomes one of the dominant planets of your personality and it is especially pronounced if the yoga is formed in the 1st-7th house axis. for ex. i have hamsa yoga in 7th house and a mars ak; i also have a younger brother. in his chart's 11th house, he has jupiter and mars. hence, despite having no jupiter dominance otherwise, jupiter becomes one of my dominant planets. i also have pronounced physical features that are associated with a hamsa yoga because jupiter is aspecting the ascendant and hence heavily influences my looks.

i. hamsa yoga — jupiter

when jupiter in cancer / pisces / sagittarius is present in any of the kendra houses. preferably but not mandatorily, without conjunctions with any other planet and not retrograde.

to quote the brihat parashara hora shastra:

the native with hamsa (swan, in hindi) yoga has a virtuous personality and is learned in the vedas. the hamsa native has voice like a swan, has a handsome appearance and well developed nose. they are a king with phlegmatic temperament, honey like tawny coloured eyes, red, coloured nails, sharp intelligence, sturdy cheeks, round, forehead and beautiful feet. they have marks of matsya (fish), ankush (the iron hook with which elephants are driven), dhanusha (bow), shankh (conch), kamal (lotus) in their hands and feet. they are very passionate and their lust remains unfulfilled. they are fond of swimming and playing games in watery places. they enjoy life fully and live as affluent, influential people and attain the pleasure of proper burial / cremation of their body after their death. they are most likely to own fertile lands near river beds, like near the ganga and yamuna.

one highlightable feature here is that these people have very beautifully formed feet; starting narrow and turning slightly broad by the tips with inwardly shaped toes that are often long and with shiny, clean pinkish nails. their feet are naturally warm but have a tendency quickly becoming cold and have light pink soles. such feet are highly auspicious and regardless of any yoga, are indicative of a good jupiter.

ii. malavya yoga — venus

when venus in taurus / libra / pisces is present in any of the kendra houses. preferably but not mandatorily, without conjunctions with any other planet and not retrograde, again, preferably.

to quote the brihat parashara hora shastra:

the malavya native has beautiful lips and a slender waist. they are lustrous like the moon and have fragrance in their body. they are of ordinary red complexion, have a medium stature and clean and beautiful teeth. their voice is like that of an elephant and their arms are long enough to reach upto his knees. they live happily for as owner of lands such as sindhu and malwa and then leaves for the heavenly abode.

iii. ruchaka yoga — mars

when mars in aries / scorpio/ capricorn is present in any of the kendra houses. preferably but not mandatorily, without conjunctions with any other planet and not retrograde, again, preferably.

to quote the brihat parashara hora shastra:

the ruchaka native possesses a long face, he is very enthusiastic, has spotless lustre, is powerful, has attractive brows, black hair and is fond of all things. they love to fight wars, are victorious over enemies, are discriminative, are protector of thieves and has cruel temperament and slender thighs. they are a devotee of brahmins, have marks of veena (musical instrument of goddess saraswati), dhanusha (bow), pasha(pāśa, often translated as "noose" or "lasso", is a supernatural weapon depicted in hindu iconography. hindu deities such as ganesha, yama, shyamala devi and varuna are depicted with the pasha in their hands.) and vrasha (unsure what this means, typically refers to a division of earth separated by mountain ranges but it doesn't make sense here; if anyone knows, please let me know as well) signs in their hands along with chakra rekha / line. they are well versed in occult sciences. they are tall, with a thin, slender waist and attractive physique.

these natives live an averagely long life and are most likely to be owner of lands of hilly regions or with red soils.

iv. bhadra yoga — mercury

when mercury in gemini / virgo is present in any of the kendra houses. preferably but not mandatorily, without conjunctions with any other planet and not retrograde, again, preferably.

to quote the brihat parashara hora shastra:

the bhadra native is splendorous like a lion, has very developed chest (or chest with well developed muscles), has the gait of an elephant, has long and thick arms, is learned in all respects. they are well versed in yoga performance, are of satwaguna qualities and have beautiful feet and a beautifully formed forehead. they are fond of luxuries and comforts and have marks of sankha (conch), chakra, gada, arrow, elephant, dhwaja (flag) and hala (plough) in their hands and feet. they are well versed in shastras, have black and curly hair, possess independent nature, and are a protector of their family. their friends share in the enjoyment of their wealth. they live happily with their wife and children and as the owners of Madhya Desha and enjoy a long life.

v. sasa yoga — saturn

when saturn in capricorn / aquarius / libra is present in any of the kendra houses. preferably but not mandatorily, without conjunctions with any other planet and not retrograde, again, preferably.

to quote the brihat parashara hora shastra:

the sasa native has small sized teeth and face but their body is not small. they are valorous. they have a slender waist and beautiful thighs. they are wise and enjoy wandering in forests and mountains. they are well versed in the loopholes (weaknesses) of the enemy. they are lively, virile and fond of women. they usurp other people’s wealth. they have marks of mala (garland), mridanga (musical instruments) and weapons in their hands and feet. they live averagely long lives and most often attain the higher lokas after death. in terms of land, there is no specification; they rule over lands that they desire.

sasa yoga gives enhanced results if venus is present with libra saturn, or is in good dignity, overall.

no malefics in the 2nd-8th house axis / 4th-10th house axis + benefic moon

this is pretty much a placement that indicates having a balanced and peaceful mental health. this is especially pronounced if only benefics are present in these axes or if they are entirely empty. it gives a good, stable childhood and responsible guardians / parents. it's not as flattering as many of the other placements here, but this is a favourable placement for your mental health. sudden death, spontaneity and sudden loss of wealth are prevented through this. of course, a lot of exceptions are applicable here, too. like rahu-ketu axis in the 1st-7th house or being born under a waning moon / new moon period which makes the moon a malefic and destroys inner peace. seriously though, having a weak moon is a curse because it hinders passion, creativity, self expression, focus and intelligence.

other forms of the mahapurusha yogas that are particularly lucky but i needn't elaborate:

venus / jupiter in 7th house in own sign / exalted sign: good for relationships and business exalted mars in 10th house: good for career and helps in cultivating drive. exalted jupiter in 1st house: a very likeable, pleasant, virtuous and amazing personality.

exalted /favourable ketu

a favourable ketu is less karmic baggage and favours the native's pursuit towards occult science. it also makes the native question society and the way it works; an exalted ketu puts its energy into attracting knowledge and spiritual elements into one's life. this for sure indicates a person with high moral values and good samskaar / 'behaviour', for lack of a better english equivalent. once again, this is not as flattering as the others, but it reduces the obstacles to be faced in life. a good ketu attracts peace into native's life.

mahabhagya 'highly fortunate' yoga

it is pretty rare since quite a few demands are to be met, but if you have it in your chart, then it means that you have collected a lot of good karma in your previous lives and will be blessed with all sorts of luxuries and guidance from divine energies in this life. for male natives, sun, moon and lagna must occupy odd signs and should be strong during the daytime. for female it should be vice versa to get the full power of this yoga. this yoga is applicable only when the sun, moon and lagna are not affected by malefics or are not malefics themselves. note that amavasya moon and waning moon are malefics. note that in vedic culture, day and night are defined via the sunrise and sunset time; so make sure that for male natives, you were born after sunrise, and for female natives, you were born after sunset and before next day's sunrise. the native is born into a good and affluent family and enjoys all sorts of comforts in their childhood. this yoga is literally all sunshine and daisies, it has no bad aspect. if you have it, then you will be blessed with all sorts of luxuries in life. the best things about it is that it blesses you with well-wishers in life so that you never go astray your life path. the divine is with you, and all pursuits become successful.

7th Lord in Different Houses of D9 chart

Honestly, I am not a big fan of this concept, however it does make an impact. It alone cannot make or break a marriage but in some charts these placements are effective.

You have to look at your 7th lord and see where it is placed in the Navamsa D9 chart. Significant placements are 6th house, 8th and 12th houses.

7th lord in 1st House of D9: It's a good placement and the impact of partner on your life is huge after marriage. If it is a malefic like mars or Saturn, you could have difficulty being around your spouse.

7th lord in 2nd House of D9: The partner can be very focused on finances and wealth. This can be a very sensual marriage between the couples.

7th lord in 3rd House of D9: This is a good placement. The partner can be very communicative and close to their father.

7th lord in 4th House of D9: This is a nice placement for a stable marriage life. The partners can spend much time at home.

7th lord in 5th House of D9: This placement means the marriage is focused on creativity which usually means having children.

7th lord in 6th House of D9: A not so favorable placement, if D1 shows divorce, this placement can bring divorce. The spouse can get work after marriage or also possibility of workplace affairs in case of Venus.

7th lord in 7th House of D9: A good placement if benefics are involved. The marriage life is harmonious and peaceful.

7th lord in 8th House of D9: A difficult placement especially if the Dasa of the planet in 8th house runs.

7th lord in 9th House of D9: A good placement which shows luck and travel after marriage.

7th lord in 10th House of D9: Excellent for career success post marriage.

7th lord in 11th House of D9: A friendly marriage, you may marry a friend of yours. Partner has many connections.

7th lord in 12th House of D9: Here the partner can be foreigner or living abroad at time of marriage. Sometimes it may also indicate lack of interest in marriage.
