conjunct Uranus shows independence, being very open to alternative thinking, gives you
an interest in astrology and metaphysics. Also the Sun is conjunct Mercury, a
combination that causes you to identify with your intellect. It gives a strong dose of
intellectual/mental energy. It causes you to be interested in all kinds of different subjects,
gives you diversity of interests, a diversity of talents and abilities. Usually with the
Mercury prominent like this it gives some ability with the hands, talents on different
levels using the hands. Usually having Mercury in Gemini—regardless of what rising
sign you have—will usually give a cleverness to the mind that has the ability to imitate or
to synthesize: take a little bit of this and a little bit of that and put them together in a
certain combination in a clever way. And usually it gives a diversity of interests and
abilities that makes it difficult to put you in one compartment as far as the career goes.
The 1 st house Virgo is occupied by Ketu, Mars, and Neptune—interesting
combination! First of all, this combination creates a sense of dissatisfaction. You can find
this in all kinds of charts from very negative charts to very positive charts. For example,
George Bush has Mars conjunct Ketu (but not with Neptune there). I believe Saddam
Hussein has it, and also Swami [???] who is in charge of a huge spiritual organization
who is a highly spiritual guy. He has it in his horoscope. It’s an aspect that causes you to
look at the world and feel just a little disillusioned or disappointed with what you’re
seeing out there, and to want to renounce it, to let go some aspect of what’s out there. As
a result, it can show a highly inspirational nature, a nature that runs on inspiration, needs
a higher mission, a higher goal. Your Mars conjunct Neptune and Ketu will make you
yearn for spiritual enlightenment, for deeper fulfillment in life. And also in your work
it’ll make you want to do something that captures your imagination a little bit more. Now
the fact that you’re doing letter carrying is going to leave you free out on the route and
have nobody breathe down your neck, and that’s helpful. However, to the extent that’s
it’s a routine, mundane type of job, that’s not going to quite fulfill this aspect of your
nature that’s yearning for something more, a mission from God, so to speak, something a
little bit higher. But this is also an aspect within you that can’t really be totally satisfied
by any work that you do. It’s an aspect that ultimately causes you to mediate, to
introspect, reflect.
Anyway, Mars conjunct Neptune and Ketu can show a tendency to be a little bit
perfectionist, putting out expectations, hoping that life will meet the expectations, and
then being a little bit disappointed when at times when your expectations are not quite
met. It’s like you’re discriminating with your mind, you want to get things just right, and
you’re really, really trying to get motivated by the very best or highest standards. And yet
because it has this tendency to kind of yearn for things that are really inspirational or
really perfect, it’s hard for life to meet those expectations completely.
Your Saturn-Jupiter opposition usually shows progress in ups and downs in life.
Progress and then delay, expansion from Jupiter and then pressure or delay or obstruction
from Saturn. So when you’re in the up period, you don’t feel that it’s going to last
forever, and when you’re in the down period you don’t feel that it’s going to last forever.
You just know that both are going to pass and you kind of stay in the middle mentally.
You also have Venus well placed in your 9 th house. That’s an excellent placement
for Venus. The 9 th house is extremely important in Vedic astrology. It’s one of the houses
of luck, of fortune, but actually the most important of the trinal houses. If that houses
isn’t good, you’re never going to have a happy marriage or good prosperity in your life or
