and it also rules your 2 nd house, so it creates a certain yoga connected with success
financially especially during Venus periods. For example, you go into a Saturn-Venus in
September 2006 and lasts for over three years. It is one of your most creative periods
during Saturn dasha. It is also a very good period financially for you because it unites 2 nd
and the 9 th house together. It’s also a really good period for travel, for connections with
foreigners.
With Venus in the 9 th and Moon in the 5 th , this is a really good chart for you to do
intellectual work that should have some creative spirit in it—inventive energy, creative
writing, putting together things. And of course Venus reflects the wife, and Venus is well
placed in your chart. It can indicate some travel for her, some need for that since the 9 th
house is connected with the wife.
The third house is empty. That house usually deals with younger siblings. It
indicates here that if you had any younger brother or sister, there could be some challenge
in their life because Mars, ruling the Scorpio in the 3 rd , is conjunct Ketu. Again there’s no
planet there so it’s not a major emphasis for you.
The 4 th house is also empty but Jupiter rules the Sagittarius and it’s in the 6 th .
There’s some good fortune connected with your home but also some dissatisfaction too
until the end of 1999—whether you’re going to stay where you’re at right now. When
Saturn comes in and will want to ground somewhere [Bill bought a house in July 1999
and moved in May 2000]
Moon in the 5 th is a very creative placement. Your chart has a bit of what John
Lennon had It doesn’t mean you have to be a musician for a living, but he was a
philosopher as well. There is a visionary aspect. Moon is in Shravana, a deva energy, a
deeper spirituality. And David Frawley [a vedic astrologer] also has this and he’s done
incredible archival research on astrology. So you’re in good company! It tends to bring
out the higher qualities of Capricorn, the sure-footed goat climbing the mountain step-bystep,
not wanting to leave any stone unturned, wanting to be really pragmatic, relevant,
thorough. I like the fact that the Moon is in the 5 th house and that it’s a fairly bright
Moon, a couple of days after the Full Moon when you were born, so it still has a lot of
energy connected with it. Generally in Vedic astrology it is better if the Moon is waxing.
Granted your Moon is waning but it’s hasn’t waned very much. It’s still very bright at
86%. So it’s still very potent. The 5 th house can indicate children, but it’s also just
creative self-expression. Instead of genetic offspring, it can be putting one’s creative gifts
or talents out into the world. Saturn is the depositor (ruler) of that Moon in Capricorn, so
the Saturn dasha is going to activate that Moon and that 5 th house. It’s going to activate
the 6 th house as well since Jupiter aspects Saturn and Jupiter is in the 6 th . Saturn tend to
produce an ossification of the joints—arthritis, and things like that. The point is, the more
you can stay limber and flexible as an antidote to that, the better off you can be. I don’t
see Saturn being life-threatening or anything like that for you in the Saturn cycle, but the
areas to be conscious of are bones and teeth.
We mentioned the 6 th house Jupiter. Retrograde Jupiter would often represent a
very philosophical nature. So I would say your spirituality comes thru philosophy and
perhaps thru history. It’s the path of wisdom versus the Bhakti path of devotion. So you
basically come to God thru knowledge, thru wisdom. In that process, though, the heart
has to open I think, like the heart chakra has to open thru love. You do have a good
Venus, so your wife can be a good teacher for you in this path. There can be some ability
