As someone deeply interested in self-discovery and the myriad influences on our lives, I recently delved into my personal horoscope, or 'Kundali.' This ancient science offers a unique lens through which to understand one's character, potential, and life path. Here are some of the key insights and predictions derived from my birth chart.
My Astrological Profile
Based on the precise moment of my birth, my astrological profile has two potential ascendant (Lagna) readings, depending on the exact time before or after 8:35 AM on the birth date:
Before 8:35 AM on Birth Date:
At your birth time, the Taurus Ascendant was rising, making Taurus your Ascendant (Lagna) sign. Since Venus is the lord of Taurus, Venus is a beneficial and 'Yogakaraka' (planet capable of producing auspicious results) in your horoscope. As the lord of the Ascendant, Venus will hold special significance in your life. Its Dasha (major period) and Antardasha (sub-period) are expected to be very beneficial for you.
Your Moon sign (Chandra Rashi) is Cancer, and its lord is the Moon. The Moon sign is also known as the Janma Rashi or simply Rashi. At your birth time, the Moon was in Punarvasu Nakshatra, making Punarvasu your birth constellation.
Your Ascendant is Taurus.
After 8:35 AM on Birth Date:
At your birth time, the Gemini Ascendant was rising, making Gemini your Ascendant (Lagna) sign. Since Mercury is the lord of Gemini, Mercury is a beneficial and 'Yogakaraka' planet in your horoscope. As the lord of the Ascendant, Mercury will hold special significance in your life. Its Dasha and Antardasha are expected to be very beneficial for you.
Your Moon sign (Chandra Rashi) is Cancer, and its lord is the Moon. The Moon sign is also known as the Janma Rashi or simply Rashi. At your birth time, the Moon was in Punarvasu Nakshatra, making Punarvasu your birth constellation.
Your Ascendant is Gemini.
What is Ascendant (Lagna)?
The first house in a horoscope, known as the Ascendant (Lagna), represents a person's physical presence. It signifies early life, childhood, character, health, willpower, fame, nature, and various other aspects of life. This house provides insight into one's weaknesses, strengths, likes, dislikes, and more. It profoundly shapes a person's personality and influences how they perceive manners, behaviors, and attitudes in life.
Spiritual lesson to learn: Detachment.
Venus rules Taurus, so Venus will be important in your chart (relevant if Taurus is your Ascendant).
Numerology: What Do Numbers Say?
Your Root Number (Moolank) is Three. The lord of Root Number Three is Jupiter (Guru).
Auspicious Practices
Auspicious Fasts and Observances:
Fast on Thursdays to mitigate any negative effects of Jupiter.
Wear yellow clothes on Thursdays, consume yellow food, and donate yellow items.
Observe this fast for three years, one year, or sixteen Thursdays, as per your capacity.
Chant the Guru Mantra on a Putrajivi Rosary as per your devotion.
Auspicious Deities:
Worship Lord Brihaspati (Jupiter) or Lord Vishnu.
Chant Lord Vishnu's Dvadashakshari Mantra: 'Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya' daily.
Chant at least 108 times daily.
Listening to the Satyanarayan Katha on Purnamasi (full moon day) will free you from various diseases and problems. If this is not possible, simply behold a picture of Lord Vishnu every morning.
Auspicious Gayatri Mantra:
To enhance the beneficial effects of Jupiter, chanting the Guru Gayatri Mantra after morning bath, eleven, twenty-one, or one hundred eight times will be beneficial:
|| Om Angirasaya Vidmahe Divyadehaya Dhimahi Tanno Jeevah Prachodayat ||
Auspicious Timing & Residence
Auspicious Timing:
According to Western astrology, the Sun remains in Sagittarius from November 21 to December 20, in Pisces from February 19 to March 20, and in Cancer from June 21 to July 20.
According to Indian astrology, it stays in Sagittarius from December 15 to January 13, in Pisces from March 14 to April 12, and in Cancer from July 16 to August 16.
Sagittarius and Pisces are Jupiter's own signs, and Cancer is Jupiter's exalted sign. Therefore, the above-mentioned periods are highly effective and beneficial for individuals influenced by Root Number Three. Undertaking any new or important work during these times will be particularly auspicious for you.
Auspicious Residence and Vastu:
It is auspicious for you to live in a house whose Root Number or Name Number is 3.
The Northeast (Ishaan Kon) direction will always be auspicious for you. Therefore, you can make your residence in the northeast direction of a city. Conducting business or trade-related work in this direction will also be auspicious.
When choosing clothes, brown, yellow, and golden colors will enhance your personality. If you keep the colors of your walls, curtains, and furniture similar, it will bring happiness to your family environment.
Manglik and Sade Sati Status
Manglik Warning!
You have Manglik Dosha in your horoscope, but its effect is very minimal, so no significant harm is expected. With the help of some simple remedies, its impact can be further reduced.
What is Manglik Dosha?
Manglik Dosha occurs when Mars is placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house in a person's birth chart. If the Mangal Dosha in the horoscope is not remedied by planetary combinations, it should be treated through fasts and rituals.
Manglik Dosha Remedies:
Chanting the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra destroys all kinds of obstacles. Chanting this mantra for the pacification of Mars also removes its ill effects on marital and conjugal life.
Sade Sati Status:
No, you are not currently under the influence of Sade Sati. (To be in 2034/2039. Check later.)
What is Sade Sati?
According to astrology, Sade Sati occurs when Saturn transits through the 1st, 2nd, and 12th houses from the natal Moon. Saturn takes two and a half years to transit through one sign, thus taking seven and a half years to pass through three signs, which is known as Sade Sati. In common terms, Sade Sati means seven years and six months.
Pitru Dosha Status:
According to the rules by which your horoscope has been examined, you are free from Pitru Dosha.
What is Pitru Dosha?
Pitru Dosha is a karmic debt from ancestors, reflected in the birth chart as planetary combinations. It can also arise from neglecting ancestors or not making proper arrangements for Shradh (ancestral rites) or charity, or spiritual upliftment.
Rashi Report For Your Planets
Moon:
You respond very easily to the emotional environment and soak up feelings like a sponge. This is likely why you can become moody, irritable, and inconstant in thought and feeling. Learning to control your own moods may be difficult but necessary. Your greatest need is to nurture others. You often appear irrational because you can't always explain your feelings. Those living with you must accept your ups and downs and appreciate your need for withdrawal. You are very sympathetic and understand unspoken feelings. You take slights personally; though you may forgive, you never forget. Security is vital, sought in home and family. Your senses and emotions are strong; listening to your intuitive, even psychic, side is wise. You are tenacious, not easily giving up on things or people. Your mother is/was a strong influence. You are basically an introvert but will fiercely protect loved ones. You have an elephantine memory but must learn to forgive past hurts.
Mars:
Mentally and physically, you are a busy, active individual, constantly in motion with various activities, often simultaneously. You thrive when busy and detest boredom. Your mind is alert, active, constantly seeking knowledge. You absorb information like a sponge and enjoy mental sparring matches. This position can indicate nervous tension or anxiety, making regular exercise crucial for stress relief. You may talk with your hands, be ambidextrous, or possess mechanical ability. It's important to think before acting and cultivate patience to avoid trouble. Sometimes you act for the sake of doing something, which isn't always wise; look before you leap. Travel appeals to you for learning and meeting new people. Be wary of burns or accidents to shoulders/arms, possibly due to haste. You can accomplish much in short bursts, but long-term commitments and persistent effort are challenging. You tend to scatter energies, leaving projects unfinished. You need variety, change, and mental challenges. Your sharp mind enjoys mental games and competitions; matching wits brings out your competitive side. Your drive is more mental than physical; you use wit, intelligence, communication, and social awareness to achieve goals. Sarcasm and humor come easily. Learn to conserve energy to avoid burnout and focus to complete projects and fulfill promises.
Mercury:
Your thoughts and communication style tend to be idealistic, psychic, intuitive, imaginative, sympathetic, diplomatic, extremely sensitive, compassionate, and visionary. On the negative side, you can be lazy, impractical, dreamy, overly sensitive, procrastinating, indifferent, and absent-minded. You may lack a strong desire for strenuous work or anything requiring significant strength, organization, patience, or responsibility. You might prefer being a poet or musician over a scientist or mechanic. Formal book learning may not be your forte, yet you can absorb knowledge remarkably if interested. Being sensitive to your environment, choose your surroundings carefully. Your nerves and mental health require periodic rest from the daily grind. Take time alone to regroup, but not excessively, as you may get carried away with your own thoughts and problems. Healing through visualization or laying on of hands may appeal to you. You might have great interest and talent in art, music, drama, or poetry, with a highly developed imagination. Translating abstract thoughts into concrete language can be difficult, making you appear less intelligent or quick-witted than you are. You dislike being confined by facts and follow instinct over logic. You are intuitive, sensing others' thoughts and feelings before they speak. Sometimes you get so immersed in your inner world that you overlook immediate, tangible details. You are extremely open-minded, believing anything is possible. Intangible or spiritual forces feel real, and your impressions of people or situations, even without factual knowledge, are often correct. Keeping your mind positively occupied is important, as daydreaming can lead to strange directions.
Jupiter:
You are loving, peaceful, friendly, sociable, sympathetic, and likely very patriotic. You possess a vivid imagination and harbor many Utopian dreams, possibly with an interest in mystical things. You have good financial judgment, especially in real estate, with an ability to accumulate money and possessions, particularly after mid-life. You receive much help from parents. You may face weight problems, especially later in life, due to your enjoyment of fine dining. Your full potential might not be realized until middle or later life. There can be a tendency towards stinginess, holding onto memories and possessions too long; you might be a 'pack-rat'. Maudlin sentimentality and over-emotionalism could also be challenges.
Venus:
In love affairs, you are generally loyal and steady, particularly if your partner is demonstrative and affectionate. You are oriented towards the sensual side of life in all you do, which might manifest as a tendency towards weight gain. You are tremendously responsive to beauty and physical appearances, and your partner's attractiveness is very important to you. You enjoy indulging yourself and loved ones, but can easily be extravagant and place too much value on material things. Comfort is important, and you dislike getting your hands dirty, sometimes hoping or expecting others to do unpleasant tasks. Self-control needs development to complement your existing warmth, charm, sympathy, and artistic inclinations. Guard against possessiveness, jealousy, and choosing the easy way out in relationships. You aim to please in practical and earthy ways.
Saturn:
You are ambitious, self-controlled, and possess strong organizing abilities. You can be a disciplined, patient, hard worker who eventually receives deserved rewards. There is a tendency to take life very seriously, with duty and responsibility holding significant importance for you. You understand that time and suffering serve a purpose, and that happiness is not the sole ultimate goal of existence. You may find it challenging to balance your energies between work and leisure. You have the ability to translate abstract concepts into concrete terms. You might experience feelings of loneliness and inadequacy, which could partly explain your tendency to work long and hard. On the negative side, prestige and social standing may be extremely important, tempting you to do whatever it takes to acquire them. Selfishness and a strong desire for power can also be present.
Character & Life Insights
Character:
You conceive original thoughts, which can manifest in diverse forms – perhaps inventing ingenious contrivances or evolving new methods, thereby contributing to progress. You undoubtedly value honesty in its broadest sense, expecting friends to be honest in purpose, speech, and financial matters. Your greatest weakness lies in how you treat others; you cannot tolerate inefficiency and are prone to considering those who disagree with you as beneath contempt. Cultivating a more charitable and tolerant view towards those who earn your disapproval would be beneficial. You are a person of considerable action, rarely still, constantly making plans, and detesting inactivity. You possess strong self-will and a firm spirit of independence, resenting interference more than you should. Freedom, both of action and thought, is a highly prized quality for you.
Happiness and Fulfillment:
You may frequently encounter disappointments and high expectations, often worrying so much that the very things you fear tend to materialize. Being very shy, you find it difficult to communicate feelings and emotions. If you can dedicate a small period each day to clear your head of worldly matters and sit in meditation, you will experience significant peace and realize that things are often not as bad as they seem.
Life Style:
You perceive that others will esteem you only if you have acquired wealth and material possessions. This perception is not necessarily true; therefore, pursue goals that are in harmony with what you genuinely desire.
Career:
You prefer to avoid office politics and resist fighting for coveted positions in industry. Seek situations where you can work alone, pursue your own initiatives, and work at your own pace, such as writing, painting, or computer programming.
Occupation:
Your inherent drive and initiative are invaluable assets. While others debate, you act, embodying the principle that "the early bird gets the worm." You should discard any thought of pursuing a profession that requires excessive polish and gentleness, as you are too practical to bother with superficial qualities, which may irritate you. You are a person of action, preferring rough-and-ready efficiency above all else. You would excel as an explorer, both in real life and in films. You would be far better as a surgeon than a finance consultant. Any job requiring skill in making things, such as engineering, would suit you well. Many maritime occupations would also suit you extraordinarily well. As an aviator, you would display the requisite courage and daring. Endless fields for your energies exist in work connected with land; you would make an excellent farmer, surveyor, mining engineer, or prospector.
Health:
Your health should not cause significant worry, but it must not be neglected. Your primary danger lies in exposing yourself to excesses of heat and cold, particularly heat. Both are detrimental. Beware of sunstroke, especially if traveling in warm regions, and avoid anything that might elevate your temperature. Apoplexy (stroke) in later life must be guarded against. It is highly important that you get plenty of sleep and avoid late hours. This is imperative because, in your waking hours, you are excessively energetic and never still – all of which rapidly deplete your vitality. Only ample sleep can repair this loss.
Hobbies:
Your leisure moments should be spent in a manner fitting your temperament. Given your value for refinement and comfort, you do not care for rough or strenuous games. You enjoy the company of others and seek out the brighter aspects of life. Card-playing may tempt you, but it holds no attraction unless money stakes are involved. Here, it is well to caution you against gambling; if indulged, it might gain a strong hold over you.
Love Matters:
By your very nature, you require friendship and love to thrive. Therefore, you are likely to marry early, though you might experience more than one love affair before making a binding choice. Once married, you are an admirable partner. When love relationships enter your life, you feel like you're walking on a cloud, more romantic than ever before. It can deepen your feelings with loved ones, and you may gain a new understanding of your relationship by becoming very spiritual.
Finance:
In financial matters, you will be fortunate and likely to acquire considerable wealth. You will be careful in speculation, investing your money in solid concerns and in building up industry and business. As a rule, you will be more lucky in money matters than otherwise, receiving much and encountering great opportunities. If you were to enter business, you would find success more in enterprises connected with the luxurious side of life than any other, such as home decorations, millinery, dresses and flower shops, food catering, restaurants, or hotels. Your intellect is very clever, but so quick and versatile that you would easily tire of any routine or monotonous life.
