Hi Magpie,
It's been a while since I’ve done any readings, but lately, I’ve been diving deep into career-related research through Vedic astrology.
When I reviewed your chart, something intriguing caught my eye: the position of your 10th lord from your Ascendant, Moon, Arudha Lagna, and Navamsa. In each case, your 10th lord falls into either the 8th or 12th house.
Being a Leo Ascendant (Vedic), Taurus is your 10th house, ruled by Venus. Venus, in turn, resides in Cancer in your 12th house, conjunct Mercury, which rules both your 2nd and 11th houses. Meanwhile, your Sun sits in Gemini in the 11th house. What’s particularly interesting is that the 4th house from the Sun is Virgo, which I always pay attention to because the 4th house from the Sun is considered the brightest in the chart, symbolizing wealth potential. Both Gemini and Virgo are ruled by Mercury and are conjunct your 10th lord, Venus, in Cancer.
This combination suggests that you have a natural gift for writing, and it could be a source of wealth for you. Venus as the 10th lord also points to a talent for beautifying spaces, and when conjunct Mercury, it can manifest as a knack for beautifying words—perhaps through writing or editing resumes, for example.
Looking from your Moon, Arudha Lagna, and Navamsa, your 10th lord sits in the 8th house. This indicates you may feel more comfortable working behind the scenes, preferring private spaces over the spotlight. You seem to value organization in your work, though you may often find yourself in situations that require sudden changes, which can challenge your need for order.
Additionally, the chart shows that you're skilled at investigating and researching. Based on these insights, you may excel in fields such as research, investigation, writing, law, biology, or interior decoration. It also hints that you may encounter very detail-oriented superiors who push you to be highly precise in your work.
On a broader level, your Rahu is in the 9th house in Aries. Rahu’s placement here is challenging, as the 9th house is its Marana-Karaka Sthana (a difficult position) and Aries is an enemy sign for Rahu. This suggests a potential for being misled by those you consider mentors.
Furthermore, Jupiter’s position in your 7th house might indicate that you view your romantic partners as spiritual mentors.
As a small remedy, I’d recommend setting up an altar in the southwest area of your home, aligned with your faith. If you resonate with Eastern traditions, an altar dedicated to Ganesh, the Elephant God, would be ideal since Ganesh is believed to have the power to control Rahu. If you’re non-religious, a simple space for meditation in that area would suffice.
Rahu in the 9th house also suggests that your father might have been unconventional—not your typical 9-to-5 worker. Are you by any chance of mixed race? There’s also a possibility that you’re living in a home with a west-facing entrance.
You might have grown up in a strict environment, with close ties to military-related individuals—perhaps a grandfather or other family members in the military.
It’s getting late here, so I’ll analyze your luck periods next time. I hope this gives you some valuable insights!
All The Best,
