Mithuna Lagna

Gemini is a pleasing sign in the Ascendant and gives an attractive appearance. The native is usually tall, has large hands and feet, and is lean and thin with beautiful eyes and a sharp nose. His intelligence and pleasant demeanor make his face radiant. He has a special skill in diplomatic negotiations, expertise in trade practices, a talent for dramatic performances, and a great capacity to conceal his emotions. Ambivalence will be his outstanding feature. A Gemini Ascendant is often bashful and very selective in speech. He likes to meet people, travel extensively, and acquire knowledge. He has a special ability to influence people and he delights in sporting with the opposite sex. He is bi-polar: he has a dual personality. He is flexible and adaptable; he can be serious or trivial, depending upon his mood and circumstances. His success in life depends upon intuitively understanding other people's thoughts and emotions, 'then acting accordingly to influence them. This capacity to interpret the thoughts and feelings of others also enables him to be a very successful Writer or novelist. Among the planets, Venus has a special affinity with a person born under this sign, while Mars, the Sun and Jupiter produce adverse results. The Moon is a killer, but, if posited with favorable planets may yield auspicious results. The SUN in Gemini does not create a favorable impact - it may cause baldness and the native is often sick with fever. He is well versed in astrology and other occult subjects but his knowledge does not ensure a happy family relationship or marital bliss~ The MOON bestows a beautiful physical body, voluptuous eyes and an. understanding of the feelings and thoughts of others. The native is erotically skilled and attractive to the opposite sex, leading to an agreeable married life - though fidelity is not assured. The Moon in Gemini may tend toward homosexuality. The native suffers from phlegm and often falls ill. . MERCURY as the Ascendant lord shapes an individual who is greatly desired for his social grace, intellectual attainment, scientific learning, artistic talent; and affluent conditions. The youthful appearance that is common with Mercury in the Ascendant is assured when conjoined with Venus, which gives sensuality to the face. VENUS individual draws attention from the government and may perform important interpretative, diplomatic or negotiating acts for the state. He earns money overseas. He is very fond of his mother and derives much inspiration from her. He may nevertheless be prone to vice, fond of romance but unsteady in relationships, and often in trouble from his unbridled sensual urges. MARS has an adverse influence on a Gemini-born individual. He earns much money but becomes involved in litigation. He is intolerant, stingy and friendless and may suffer from blood diseases and nervous exhaustion. JUPITER creates a graceful appearance and favorable external conditions in life but does not give the native inner satisfaction or peace of mind.

The native with SATURN rising in Gemini is usually tall and rugged in appearance, unhappy, miserly, and suffers from family problems and respiratory troubles. RAHU in this position may, when afflicted, lean toward crime and perversity. Such an individual has exaggerated libidinous desires. KETU shapes an individual who is psychic but may have an unusual physical appearance. Cancer in the Second house will make the native's manner of speech very emotional, and will cause fluctuations in his family relationships and financial status. The SUN in this position leads to family bickering. The MOON will produce such a such a soothing voice that the individual with this placement may become a master of words or literature, with great command in either writing or speech. He will be wealthy and respectable. His greatest trials will arise from poor health, variable fortunes, and shifting popularity. He may be defective in some limb. Egotistical in temperament, attractive to the opposite sex, honored by intellectuals, and possessing a great deal of property, the individual with this MERCURY position should be careful about health. VENUS will produce excellent material results. The person under its impact will be learned, musical, talented in the fine arts, and wealthy; he will acquire property through his own efforts, possibly in a foreign land. MARS is not a killer for this sign in the Second house, but it creates havoc nevertheless: it may destroy the person's peace of mind, incite his children against him, inflict injuries and even produce physical disabilities. Such a person will have many competitors. JUPITER here will make the individual fabulously rich, almost equal to a king; the demeanor of the person including his gait, speech and social relationships will be regal. His spouse will be a source of much inspiration and marriage will enhance his status. He will enjoy profitable partnerships in business and trade. Towards the latter part of his life, such a person's affluence reaches its peak. SATURN gives mixed results. Under its impact, the individual may be learned but a thief, rich but miserly, and will suffer from diseases related to the rectum and the urinary tract. RAHU is not well placed here; at its worst it may make the individual indulge in surreptitious practices, tell lies, feel depressed and complain constantly about his finances. He will use foul language. KETU under similar conditions may produce some kind of mental imbalance and incoherence in speech.

Leo in the Third house makes the individual very powerful and courageous. His intellect is sharp and he attains a good professional status. His ambition runs high. He earns his money through his own efforts and is very self-reliant. His attachment to others is marginal: when he feels that a particular individual is of little use to him, he easily gives up the relationship. The SUN occupying Leo enhances the individual's strength and valor and accentuates his individuality. His siblings and friends hover around him, expecting sustenance and succor. He dresses lavishly and his demeanor is regal; he is universally respected. The MOON in this position makes the individual spend money on his siblings and friends. He becomes receptive to good counsel from his elders and believes more in consolidating his position than in conquering new fields. He is fond of travel and the good life, and relishes good food. MERCURY also makes the person spend money on his siblings and friends, but in this case the expenditures come to nothing: he loses money and his associates lose their regard for him. He feels insecure and seeks company and support from others. He is talkative and fearful. VENUS makes the native sensuous and amorous, and his search for sensual pleasures often leads him to bad company. He is not much interested in education, though his considerable intelligence and luck in obtaining a degree may secure for him a respectable job. His children will be a source of inspiration and he himself a charming conversationalist. MARS is powerful in this sign. Consequently, the individual is courageous and respected by his siblings. He lords it over his obedient employees and his business takes him to distant places. He will overcome all his difficulties. When JUPITER occupies the Third house in Leo, the individual becomes well-connected by marriage, but many impediments arise in married life. Neither is his professional career smooth. His sensitive nature, sharp intellect and personal difficulties drive him to spirituality, though in fits of depression, he may indulge in truly disrespectful behavior. SATURN produces mixed results. The individual under its influence may have an interrupted education, rebellious children, and perverse acquaintances, but his employees will be amenable and he will be lucky in his profession. RAHU here tends to make the individual forceful and directed in his action; he will acquire money but will be cheated by others. KETU can make the person feel isolated and inflexible, but it will also enable him to propound his own special philosophy of life.

When Virgo occupies the Fourth house the individual becomes greatly engaged in accumulating wealth and riches, though he may be unable to retain them. He is very intelligent and capable of establishing a quick rapport with gifted or important persons, but his openness, sympathy, and ambivalent disposition often bring him into contact with unethical characters who discredit him and make him unhappy. However, he can retrieve his position and clear himself of any ignominy. He himself may have secret leanings toward magic. The SUN in this sign makes the individual lose his mother early in life, as well as losing much of his property. Problems relating to his work may also annoy him. In spite of such difficulties, the individual will be opinionated and disinclined to heed good advice. With the MOON in this position, the individual is nourished by his relations and friends, who afford him psychological support. His problems arise from misplaced values in life; sometimes his ideas lead him to perverse activities and behavior. However, he is likely to be wealthy, and so cool that none can comprehend what lies beneath his calm facade. His capacity for truly empathic relationships is his unique strength. MERCURY occupying this sign and house produces Mahapurusha Yoga, heralding the birth of a great soul. His thinking is very evolved and guides him to a high social status. His understanding of Divine Wisdom is deep; he is especially an expert in the life sciences. His sociability is marked, but there is no aggressive behavior. With VENUS in this position, the individual becomes happy, talented, artistic and social; his children are very praiseworthy. However, he may neglect his gifts and burn the candle at both ends by giving way to his desire for sensual enjoyment. MARS enables the individual to acquire property and status, but he feels a great thirst for emotional satisfaction: denied maternal affection, his relationship with his spouse is afflicted and he is socially ill-adjusted. He may even be involved in litigation and disputes regarding property matters. JUPITER shapes an individual who is very much under the sway of his marriage partner. He is wealthy, honored, and sociable; his learning is proverbial. However, he feels deceived by life, having many skeletons in his closet which he would not want to display before the public. His yearning for "forbidden fruits" cannot be easily assuaged. SATURN in this position yields contradictory results, making the person very much misunderstood. He is rich and affluent, but this does not make him happy. He is industrious, anxious to please others, and able to overcome his adversaries; however, he lacks affection from his mother and is emotionally very mean-spirited. He is secretive, diseased, obsessed with his misfortunes. His life is full of complex and troublesome shadows. A similar dissatisfaction is produced when RAHU occupies the Fourth house in Virgo. The individual's sex life is very complicated, and emotional dissatisfaction is acute or he is usually in the midst of some intrigue. He may be physically weak or psychologically unbalanced.

When KETU is in this position, the personality is greatly distorted; the native's thinking is unsound and his sexual relationships are a source of trouble. There is a fire within him which cannot be extinguished by love, sex or money, and which may almost drive him insane. When Libra occupies the Fifth house, it is considered fortunate for begetting children and a happy family life. The individual born with this sign in the house of children is not terribly interested in education or the development of his intellectual faculties. His main interest is in his spouse, children, and money. His interest in the higher values of life is merely superficial. He wants to achieve success and personal glory so that he may be a hero to his family and society. When the SUN occupies this sign, the individual is typically deprived of children: even if he does have a child it will not bring him happiness. The individual with the Sun in its debilitation sign is deprived of normal solar idealism. He suffers from despondency, a sense of inferiority, and bad habits, though an interest in administration, mathematics, social organization, psychoanalysis or literature will help add a positive tone. The MOON in this sign makes the individual very sensual and concerned with personal satisfaction, but his manners will be very appealing. He will be interested in music, the fine arts, social organization and poetry, will have plenty of money, and his education will not be hampered due to lack of financial resources. He will be interested in mixing with many kinds of people and he will have proficiency in trade and commerce. MERCURY in this sign makes the individual a good conversationalist, persuasive speaker, a sensitive writer, and a skilled negotiator. He will be wealthy and respected, but will vacillate between materialism and spirituality and may often tell lies. VENUS will make a poet of exceptional skill, capable of depicting amorous feelings very artistically. The native will try to attain social status by throwing extravagant parties. MARS creates difficulties with regard to progeny and makes the individual suffer humiliation in society. His educational career is obstructed and he does not get any support from his spouse. He has insatiable carnal passions which drive him to secret and suspect places. JUPITER is quite favorable when placed in Libra in the Fifth. Under its influence the native is noble minded, helpful in disposition, loving to his family, and possessed of a good official position. He is learned, having knowledge of spiritual writings as well as of modern literature. SATURN in this position will enable the individual to gain proficiency in international law, labor legislation, and engineering. His married life will be slightly strained, though perhaps not seriously. He may earn a great deal of money through large corporations. RAHU in this sign may associate the individual with mean-minded, anti-social, and disturbed persons.

KETU will induce the native to seek out truly wise individuals, though perhaps without much success. He will wish to find some enduring philosophy, but will always be an unsatisfied seeker. His education will be much obstructed. Scorpio occupying the Sixth house produces sexual issues of one sort or another. The individual also meets with problems such as long absence from his homeland or guilt and secrecy regarding his humble origins. Diseases and other humiliating situations afflicting the person will be of the sort that cannot be discussed in the open. The basic problem of the individual arises from the fact that there are two distinct components of the individual's personality, each one trying to deny the existence of the other. This conflict seriously distorts the personality. When me SUN occupies this sign, the conflict is further intensified. There is animosity between the native, his friends, and colleagues whom he treats as friends but whom he secretly desires to overcome. He is very miserly in his expenditures, denying himself even the necessities, but outwardly he will make a show of generosity in entertaining friends. His personal life will be materialistic and sexual, though he will like to give the impression that he is a moralist. Such contradictions express themselves in psychological instability, and physical problems such as high blood pressure and nervous exhaustion. The MOON occupying this sign of its debilitation makes the native an eccentric; his past karma erupts into his life, so that social calumny confronts him without any provocation on his part. At times the Moon will withdraw its cool judgment, as a result of which the person may be immersed in profligacy. Whatever the immediate cause, the Moon creates some kind of psychological pain. MERCURY is especially difficult here. At worst it can strangle the entire personality and destroy all the finer feelings of the person. It may produce a life of intrigue, unpredictability, and dissatisfied sexual desire. Male sterility or female barrenness can also be produced by this combination. VENUS in this position is not much better. The voluptuous nature of the person and his extreme indulgences combined with a lack of any sense of family obligation may lead him into problems with venereal disease. He also suffers from financial difficulties and may be greatly dishonored in society. MARS in Scorpio is powerful and its impact on accumulated karma is to externalize it and work it out so that its influence for the future is nullified. In order to do this, the individual will meet serious opposition to his way of doing things and to his social nature. When such opposition arises, the individual gets into difficulties and becomes emotionally "dried up." But soon the crisis is over and he is free from opposition. Physically, he may suffer from fever, infections, and boils or other skin eruptions. JUPITER'S influence is not easily harmonized. There may be severe physical disease, perhaps dyspepsia or ulcers. The native's marital life will be in the doldrums and he will be in

difficulties concerning his heavy expenditures. There is a possibility of his contracting sexually transmitted diseases, though his social status and respectability will be such that no one will talk about his personal life openly. SATURN will increase the possibility of hypertension, violent temper, and indecision or wrong decisions which get the native into problematical situations. He may suffer from some ailment of the pelvic region as well as infections of the urinary tract. RAHU produces enmity from low persons with whom the native must finally come to terms. In spite of such reconciliation, the individual may lose some of his social respectability. KETU may involve the individual in bizarre sexual relations, and at worst may even lead him to commit criminal acts. Nevertheless, these activities will be rationalized by him on the basis of some idealistic consideration. His problems will become known and his company will be shunned. He will be rigorously punished for any anti-social behavior. Invariably, Sagittarius in the Seventh house leaves a sorrowful taste in life. Often the marriage partner is respectable, but the warmth of relationship is lacking. This lack of warmth is not necessarily due to sexual incompatibility, but more often founded in psychological incompatibility or sustained physical illness, though upon occasion the native's partner may be prone to non-traditional sexual preferences. Whatever the reason, marriage is a bed of thorns. With the SUN occupying this sign, cruelty on the part of the native's spouse or religious fervor leading to a denial of sexuality altogether may precipitate a break in the marriage. The MOON may lead to immense wealth and great respectability, but impotence or frigidity and a general lack of amorous warmth will lead to separation, legal or otherwise. MERCURY in this sign creates a kind of helplessness in the individual. Marriage becomes merely a show of social respectability, while in private the native may suffer from sexual debility and be unable to satisfy a lusty partner. Under the influence of VENUS, both partners seek satisfaction outside the married relationship. MARS makes the native's marriage scandalous; frequent quarrels between the partners are not uncommon. Under the influence of JUPITER, the individual attains a respectable social status due primarily to the influence of the spouse. Marriage, however, tends to be a relationship of convenience for both parties. SATURN makes marriage intolerable. All moral codes are discarded, and illicit affairs may become habitual. Family life disintegrates. RAHU makes personal relationships very secret; the relationship between marriage partners is based primarily on mutual ambition. The relationship is very matter-of-fact.

When KETU occupies this sign, the individual is burdened with family responsibilities and the strain of marital incompatibility often drives him crazy. He either becomes a philosopher or is psychologically disturbed. Capricorn in the Eighth house makes the individual learned and religious. The basic impulse of this sign makes him receptive to those forces of nature which raise the individual from the level of personal considerations to a concern for society in general. However, under certain planetary combinations selfishness may become acute, and the native is confined to his own narrow mental cell. With the SUN in this sign, the individual is ripe for occult training and the control of nature's secret powers. Nothing worldly attracts the individual under this impulse, so the physical world is transcended and the native is free to devote himself to occult preparations, Society does not give him any recognition; he may be humiliated, his actions and attitudes misunderstood. But these trials simply make him ever more receptive to the illuminations from the unknown which irradiate his mind and being. Thus the Sun in this position presents physical restrictions and difficulties which enable the native to gain spiritual power. The MOON in this sign creates some psychological problems by presenting material temptations. The individual will be intensely interested in the mystical side of life, but his interest will be primarily guided by the desire to acquire personal glory. He will succeed in attaining his goals, perhaps so suddenly that he himself will be surprised. He will receive wealth and property from his parents, as well as inspiration. MERCURY in this sign has a special significance. The individual will become so headstrong as to be absolutely inflexible, which will create problems in his career. He will accept these setbacks as God's will, regarding them as the fruit of his own past deeds. As a result of this attitude, he will not attempt any great changes in his life. Opponents will take advantage of his so-called principles to strike him down and bring about his downfall. These battles will finally impel him to withdraw into a seclusion which leads to deep meditation and contemplation. VENUS will shape an individual who is attracted to the pleasures of the senses and their gratification. He will acquire much wealth and his renown will spread far and wide. His health, however, will suffer due to his indulgences. MARS will bestow upon the individual so much spiritual strength and moral courage that he will be able to transcend all the physical and moral hurdles of life. It will enable him to dive deep into the unknown to explore and bring to the surface the mystic laws of nature. This impulse can make the individual very rich, even a world leader. JUPITER in this position emphasizes the individual's personal comfort and sensual gratification. In spite of a respectable and spiritual spouse, the native will be involved in

illicit affairs with older partners and in the accumulation of property. He may receive money earned .by others; his father will live long. SATURN in this sign complicates the native's personal life. Marriage may be frustrating, with the partner suffering from some physical incapacity. Everyday life may be so complex that the native has no time of his own. With all avenues of creativity blocked, he feels extremely stifled. RAHU in this sign will make the person detached from anything personal, making his life an open book to the world. He will receive unexpected and unearned money and wealth, but will also have to accept painful psychological experiences. KETU in this position makes the individual an unprincipled seeker of pleasure. Unexpected changes in life and frequent removals or journeys will be part of his destiny.

Aquarius in the Ninth house often gives rise to persons who are spiritually advanced. They are born in order to receive a push which impels them to move beyond the mental level to a more spiritual state of consciousness where one is sensitive to the needs of humanity at large. Having been accorded affluent conditions and sensual pleasures, the individual also becomes impressed by the supremacy of those higher powers which guide the progress of individuals and the world. Through direct perception of that higher power, such an individual may progress very quickly on the path of spirituality, though the zodiacal sign by itself, without any planets occupying the Ninth, only indicates that the native is prepared for further growth. The SUN in this sign intensifies egotism so much that the individual will not consider anyone his equal. This attitude will be a stumbling block to his spiritual progress. But if this impediment is transcended, his progress may be very rapid. The MOON in this sign will produce luxurious conditions which the individual may not in all cases be able to enjoy. He will, however, have the urge to work for others and share his wealth with the needy. MERCURY will help the individual in maintaining association with evolved individuals. He will come in contact with persons who are fairly advanced in material prosperity as well as in spirituality. In their company he will study the occult sciences, and he will also adhere to conventional religious observances. VENUS in this sign will tempt the individual to be seduced by sensual pleasures. He will be helpful to his family members but will be likely to establish clandestine sexual relationships. In the end he will realize the futility of such attachments.

MARS in this position may be very destructive, disrupting the settled existence of the individual. His father may die while he is young, and his family members may abandon him, causing much psychological pain. His colleagues may not extend a helping hand. In spite of these hardships the native will proceed with the development of his spiritual will. In the quest to' establish his awn social status and professional efficiency he will also' learn the lesson of helping others. This urge to' help others even while he himself is in straitened circumstances will lead him very far on the spiritual path. JUPITER in this sign will help the individual to' explore the world of spirituality. He may perceive the indwelling spirit which guides and cantrals us all. His psychological impulse will be toward the progress of humanity rather than far himself alone. He will be a true saint, though without the trappings of monasticism.' SATURN in this sign produces a strong ego and the native's kanna still ties him to the tether of the external. He is capable of undertaking arduous inquiries into' such subjects as occultism, astrology, the effect of mantras on the physical body and so on, but his basic motivation is material. He craves social prestige, material conveniences, and political power. RAHU in this sign involves the individual in magic, alchemy and the cure of physical ailments by the use of spiritual power. KETU will disturb the mental balance of the individual and he will quite often be in conflict with others. His ideas will clash with those of the people around him even when he is right. This will happen because his ideas will lean towards understanding the spiritual laws of nature.

Pisces in the Tenth house makes the individual very religious, an advocate of conventional philosophies and morals. He wants to work for a cause, and is never satisfied unless he has attained the highest. With the SUN in this position the native does not enjoy material comforts, for some karmic stigma is always and invariably attached to him. Despite great achievements, he feels that his contribution to and involvement with society should have been different. With the MOON in this position, there is satiety, clarity, and spiritual dedication in the individual's life. He is forgiving, even to his adversaries. He will be highly successful as a preceptor and guardian. When MERCURY occupies this sign, the native becomes a successful businessman as well as a very logical philosopher. Whatever else he does, he will finally achieve the object of his lifes mission. VENUS can make the individual dedicated to a cause which is impersonal and which requires the relinquishment of personal comforts. The native will not be drawn to sensual pleasures, but will be motivated by the desire to bring to humanity the blessings of the Supreme. Under the impact of MARS, the individual will be engaged in carrying out an idealistic pursuit for which he will have to give up his wealth and incur the wrath of society. With JUPITER in Pisces in the Tenth the native will learn the lesson of tolerance, family responsibility, respect for his elders and the urge to inspire society towards a better way of life. In carrying out this task he may not achieve many physical comforts for himself, but he will serve as an example of how one should live ideally in a family situation while retaining the highest efficiency in his official and social relationships. Even SATURN is radically transformed under the inf1uence of Pisces: it makes the individual a great philanthropist, but he suffers from some canker in his heart, arising from an unknown or mysterious cause. RAHU in this sign makes the individual a ritualistic who undertakes arduous observances in order to obtain religious favor; he craves supernatural powers. KETU in this position produces a kind of mysterious halo around the person as regards his actions, life, and final end. Everything about him is unusual; though he does not lack for anything in life, there is nothing which he can actually claim as his great achievement. This contradictory situation is indeed mystifying, but it will be invariably found with Ketu in the present position.

With Aries in the Eleventh, the native has hard time earning money. He has to struggle, exert himself and serve as an employee in order to procure wealth and income. Generally, such a person takes employment with the government or some other very routine job. In so doing, however, he is very unhappy. Unless he can play an active role in his career, psychological problems arise in his life. The individual is primarily interested in social life, sensual pleasures, and displaying his personality and charm. Unless these cravings are satisfied, he will feel as if he has reached a dead-end in life. When the SUN occupies this sign, a sibling helps the native to secure a good position. He is very efficient in his work and earns a promotion; he acquires social status, is wealthy, and his morals are praiseworthy. He will, however, have few if any children. With the MOON in this sign, the person becomes very wealthy; his income, however, tends to fluctuate. His status increases after marriage. He possesses "many ornaments" and has a special opportunity to earn money through mining operations. MERCURY occupying this sign makes the native very social and favors his academic career. He is connected with activities such as transportation, accounting, or commercial transactions in general. His income steadily increases. With VENUS in this position, the company of the native is much sought after. He is fortunate as regards his children and he dresses well. MARs makes the individual very energetic and active. He works whole-heartedly and constantly gets promoted. But he is never satisfied with his status or his income: he wants more, seeks more, gets more, and still strives for greater heights. There is always optimism in his outlook; he inspires courage and enthusiasm id others. He is a dependable friend, has very few children, and is devoted to religion and its observances. With JUPITER in this sign, the native is respected and is devoted to religion, scriptures and religious services. He earns a fabulous amount of money and his spouse brings him luck., but there is a dissatisfaction in him which cannot be filled by wealth or conventional religion. He is a truly benevolent figure to his family. SATURN makes the person psychologically disturbed though he is well off with regard to money. He is well-educated, possessed of engineering skills, and receptive to bohemian values. His problems in life arise from an unknown source which cannot be easily defined; but it may come close to sharing his personality and leading him to the edge of criminal activity. RAHU drives the native toward all manner of spiritual and religious practice, although his search is motivated by purely personal considerations. He will become abundantly rich, though there is a possibility of his being linked with some illicit dealings and underhanded business activities.

KETU makes the native an honorable person, absorbed in his philosophical thoughts, contemplating a new way of life and social order. Immensely practical in his sense of logic but extremely impractical in his profession, the native is a kind of saint, leading a beautiful but impoverished life. When Taurus occupies the Twelfth house, the individual engages in material pursuits, but dissatisfaction with the existing conditions will be present. He will always be doing something to alleviate his circumstances, but he may not be moving in the right direction. He is likely to immerse himself ever deeper in. materiality and drift farther away from ultimate release. When the-SUN occupies this sign, the individual is so enraged with the social order that he is moved to join certain schemes of action against it, which cause him great personal trouble, even to the extent of being convicted of a capital crime. With the MOON in this sign the individual becomes a wanderer, traveling to distant places in search of employment. He will be pleasure loving and will not consider any extravagance unethical. In order to gratify his senses, he may travel to great distances and incur financial loss. MERCURY in this position causes the native to waste away and neglect himself, thus disrupting his family life. Sense gratification and the idiosyncratic pursuit of self-destruction will be the most important aspects of his life. With VENUS in this sign, the individual will spend much on his children and his indulgence may well spoil them. MARS will greatly accentuate the carnal passions and will induce the native to spend his earnings on sensual enjoyment and social receptions. He may, however, earn a substantial amount of money from these social contacts. Though JUPITER will cause difficulties m the family life of the individual due to his wayward habits, he will nevertheless be respectable and will have renown in distant places. Such an external recognition of his intellectual abilities will not give him any enduring support in life, and, though he will receive financial support from his contacts, his health will suffer. He will be afflicted by many incapacitating ailments. SATURN in this sign will enable the individual to travel widely in different countries and will destroy his fixed assets and property. His social respectability will be low, but he will not be deterred by any public reaction. His personal morality may be low as well. RAHU in this position will make the individual an idealist, willing to sacrifice his comforts and other resources for the fulfillment of an objective. But his goals may well be unethical, anti-social, and unhelpful to society. KETU will encourage the individual to waste his energy and wealth in sexual indulgences.
