In yesterday's
quiz we looked at the chart of a woman who made an important
decision in her Moon-Ketu-Jupiter dasha. Before making predictions
about the effects of dashas and transits it's important that
we first make sure that we have a clear grasp of the natal
chart.
This is the chart of a career woman. Notice how the ruler
of the ascendant, Sun, is with Mercury in its own sign of
Gemini, an intelligent, logical sign in the 11th house of
gains. This is a strong dana yoga, or wealth-producing
yoga, involving the ascendant lord and the 2th and 11th lord.
In addition, notice the powerful raja yoga involving
the 9th lord, Mars, and the 10th lord, Venus, in its own sign
of Taurus, a very practical and productive sign. Additionally,
Venus here forms a malavya mahapurusha yoga further
enhancing the 10th house. Notice also how Saturn is in its
own sign of Aquarius, its moolatrikona sign, on an angle forming
a shasha mahapurusha yoga in the 7th house. This
gives her strong traits of responsibility, hard work, perseverance,
as well as organizational skills. This woman majored in mathematics
and has managed a quality control department for a major software
company for many years. She is no slouch. She commands a leadership
position and an excellent salary because she's so intelligent,
and competent.
In terms of her spiritual life, she was raised Catholic and
has a religious orientation, but does not have interest in
spiritual practices per se, other than occasionally praying.
Natal Chart
However, she's in an unusual period of her life - the dasha
of the Moon. The Moon is the 12th lord in the 8th house, an
unconventional, mystical and alternative house in the mystical
sign of Pisces. It also in the final degrees of Pisces, a
water sign, in a position called gandanta. This is
an unstable position for the Moon, which represents manas
or the mind. The Moon dasha began in October 1998 and she's
been unhappy at work ever since. She had two children in her
Sun dasha, and one more early on in her Moon dasha. She's
wanted to take a break and just be with her kids since her
Moon dasha began. She just wants to be a mother (Moon).
Notice how, from the Moon, Ketu is in the 10th house. Ketu
is a spiritual planet that gives disillusionment with worldly
pursuits. This position of Ketu 10th from the Moon, the chandra
lagna, and the dasha lagna during her Moon dasha, has kept
her in a perpetual state of disillusionment regarding her
work. She's wanted to work part time at most, but has been
required to work full-time to maintain her well paying position.
Ketu's sub dasha came along in January this year and has exacerbated
this feeling of disillusionment, bringing it to the forefront
of her experience. During Ketu's sub period she's lost all
motivation to work hard like she has done for twenty years
since finishing college. At the same time, Jupiter's transit
in Libra has been aspecting her ascendant lord, Sun, giving
her the confidence to finally make a decision for herself,
for her own best interest. Jupiter gives inspiration and the
sense of new opportunities, and possibilities. Jupiter's transit
has aspected her natal Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and
Rahu - five of nine planets. Jupiter is also the sub-sub period
lord from May 13th until June 10th further emphasizing Jupiter's
expansive qualities.
Transits May 15, 2006
In mid-May she decided to finally quite her job and take a
break so that she can be with her three kids. Notice how Ketu
is in the 5th house of children aspected by the 5th lord,
Jupiter. She plans to take the summer off to play with her
kids, and then find a job that's more creative in the fall,
but only work part-time. This will be about the time she begins
her Venus sub period which follows Ketu. Venus is the planet
of creativity.
Quiz Answer: Quite her job and take a break
