the 5 th is also aspected by Jupiter. So I think you have a very strong intellect and a very
strong creativity.
Speaking of creativity, the 3 rd house is music, dance, and drama. The 5 th house is
art in general. Being that the Moon is in the 5 th house, you will play out your karma
mentally. The area that will be the most comfortable for you will be the mind, thinking,
concepts, theories. At the same time, the 5 th house is creativity, and the Moon being there
will make you very passionate about your ideas and be very creative. Venus’s aspect on
to the 3 rd house is a very good artistic influence. It’s a little bit rough because it’s
aspecting Scorpio, which is not a good sign for Venus, but still, Venus’s aspect to that 3 rd
gives some artistic ability. It may be held back as a career because the ruler of the 3 rd
house [Mars] is with Ketu. I mean, even the ruler of the 3 rd in the 1 st is going to give
artistic ability, but the Ketu may spoil it. In the Western system, you have this exact trine
between Moon & Venus [in air signs] so there’s definitely artistic ability there, but the
real it could be held back is because Ketu is like a black hole. If a planet gets near Ketu, it
is like unconscious, uncontrollable, weird, strange, and things like that. As far as the
Mars-Ketu goes, this may cause some sensitivity on the bloodstream. So it is a good idea
to take iron by eating hard hard-green leafy vegetables and things like that.
[Bill: “I do nibble on rusty nails now and then.”]
Yes! …It is also affecting your 8 th house. Have you ever had strange feelings
about death or feelings like it would be very easy to just split from the physical plane?
[Bill: “No. I feel I’m going to be living a very old age. I just get that intuitive
feeling—at least into my late Eighties if not into my Nineties. But I am interested in
learning about the Other Side by reading Edgar Cayce, Jane Roberts, and Theosophy.”]
There are two things indicating length of life. One is the 8 th house and the other is
Saturn. And your Saturn I consider strong even though it’s in a bad sign because it’s
aspected by Jupiter. It is a good thing that Mars is aspecting the 8 th house. Normally that
would not be so good but because it’s aspecting it’s own sign [Aries ruling the 8 th ] that
will be good. The intuition will be very strong because the ruler of the 8 th is with Ketu.
So—I’m confused here!—has married life actually been smooth for you?
Because with Rahu in the 7 th , it usually causes a lot of ups and downs. [Bill: “The only
low period I had was in the Fall of 1985 and I had a job change and I had to leave my
wife to work in another city 140 miles away, but that lasted only 3 or 4 months.”]
The most sensitive time would’ve been the Jupiter-Saturn dasa/bhukti between
January 1986 and July 1988. Jupiter then would pick up the negative energy of Saturn.
That would be the one period I would be most concerned about. That could be in the area
of health, work, or relationship. [Bill: “No. Nothing comes to mind. We would have
arguments as any couple, but we are getting along pretty well. No health problems
beyond some colds and flus.”]
You’re turning out to be an exception in certain realms. [Bill: “Another vedic
astrologer I had a reading with said that kujadosa is over-rated, that half the population
would be in that situation.”]
Even still, the ruler of the 7 th in the 6 th is not good, and being aspected by Saturn
is not good. [Note: This false belief by many vedic astrologers that some combinations
are automatically good or bad is precisely why I do not care for the way vedic astrology
is practiced (with the exception of one or two vedic astrologers that I consider as
