Ask Your Astrologer LIVE

In this live YouTube session the astrologer fields a rapid‑fire stream of viewer questions, offering detailed Vedic and Western interpretations of current planetary transits and personal dasha periods. The discussion begins with the impact of Jupiter’s entry into the 2nd house (June 1 – Oct 31 2026) and its promise of financial gains through family connections, speaking, or sales. The host then moves through a series of rising‑sign specific forecasts (Virgo, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, etc.), explaining how Saturn in the 7th house, Mars in Aries, and Jupiter in Cancer will affect relationships, career, and personal growth. The astrologer addresses recurring themes such as Sade Sati, the significance of the Moon versus the Ascendant, and the mechanics of dashas, Parivartana Yoga, Saraswati Yoga, and Ketu‑Jupiter conjunctions. A substantial portion of the session is devoted to comparing Vedic (sidereal) and Western (tropical) astrology, highlighting differences in house rulership, sign shifts, and the treatment of fixed stars, and defending the predictive accuracy of the Vedic system. The astrologer also makes bold claims about an imminent alien‑disclosure event and its expected societal chaos, while offering practical advice on chart calculations, birth‑time requirements, and timing of important actions using planetary ascendants. Throughout, the tone remains conversational, enthusiastic, and occasionally cautionary, aiming to empower viewers with actionable astrological insights.

Hello everyone, here we are live again and I'm here to take your questions and I see one's already up by 1979 Raw. Go ahead and take your questions before anyone else gets here. You're first to be here and you have a really lucky time coming up because Jupiter just entered or will enter your second house June 1st and it will be there till October 31st. And then again from January to June in, in, uh, 2027. But natal Jupiter is there, so you're having a Jupiter return and you're in the Jupiter Dasha. How will you make money? The 2nd house is the house of money, so it definitely means you will be making some money during this time. But 2nd house is also family, and I don't know if you have any good connections to family or if anything is happening concerning, uh, family business or connections to the past and family. And another thing is, because the 2nd house rules our voice, you are a great speaker, and in some manner or form, you will make money through using your voice, whether it's in sales or whether it's even through speaking engagements, something to that effect. And remember, this is a long cycle. It won't just happen the day you enter, so get ready. It's going to last for about a year. All right, so good morning, uh, thank you, Debbet. And Virgo rising, what's coming up? Wow, Virgo Rising, it's not been easy. Why? Saturn's been in Pisces and Mars, but Mars is now in Aries, thank goodness. That, that must feel better. But about a month or two ago, it wasn't very easy for anyone with Virgo planets or Virgo Rising, especially in the area of relationships. Why? Because Saturn's been in the 7th house, so a lot needs to be worked out in relationships. But better times are coming because as soon as Jupiter gets into Cancer, it will be better because Jupiter will be aspecting your 7th house where Saturn is. So that starts June 1st and lasts through October 31st. Okay. So, where the ones you love the astrology conference, is Sade Sati a topic you can revisit? Would you have an Aquarius Moon? Well, it's not as bad now because now Saturn's in Pisces. I know that Sade Sati is known to last for 7 and a half years, but when Saturn's in the same sign as the Moon, it's far worse than when it's in the sign after the Moon. So things should be improving, getting better for you, and the worst is over. That's what I'll say. Jupiter is in Cancer. What's it mean for people born with Moon in Cancer for Virgo rising? Well, that means that with, with this Virgo rising, then your Moon is in the 11th house. You're going to meet a lot of new influential people that can help you. Get ready for that. Jupiter is almost in Cancer, and of course I did a video on that. That'll be coming out soon, in the next day or two before June 1st, on YouTube. All right, so let's see here. Mars in Aries in the 7th house. Well, you're having a Mars return, and that can be, um, that can be passion and relationships. Things are coming together in a quick and furious way in the area of relationships, but Don't be easily angered. That's advice I'll give you. Okay, Gemini Rising, what's coming for inspiration in career? Thank you. Um, so if you have Gemini Rising, you know, we— I have a Gemini Rising too. We have Saturn in the 10th house, and that's not been so easy. Things are slow to take off in career, but I promise what when Jupiter goes into Cancer, it will start to aspect our 10th house. And we're all waiting for this Jupiter Cancer transit, aren't we? It's going to be good for Gemini Rising. Um, thank you, uh, Carlos. And let's see, will they disclose alien life this year and create chaos? Absolutely, it is this year. I know a lot of people say, oh, it's 2027. No, it is this year. As a matter of fact, I think it's in a month or two. It's already building. You can see how they're letting out some of the disclosure things that aren't that big of a deal. We've already known all this. We already know all this, of course. But the purpose and what it will cause is great chaos. Some people aren't going to be able to handle it. Of course they're going to say it's AI and everything else ridiculous. Some people think it's diversion to get our attention away from other things. But the most important thing is with our connection to the aliens, I know a lot of you think this is bad, they're evil. They are not. There can be some that can be more evil than the other ones because there's more than one. But let me just say this, if they wanted to destroy us, they already could. A lot of them are here to help us. Okay, uh, Diane, I need more than just your birthday, and I can't calculate a chart in head. I have to have my astrology program, so, uh, I need more than just a time. The day, the year, all that's better. Um, let's see. So what is this? I've tried some— I don't know what that is. Something Geriatria. Look, looks like, uh, June to me. Okay, Pluto's in your 4th house conjunct natal Venus. Woo! At 5 degrees ended when it went exact. Okay, so you're saying Pluto, um, transiting your Venus, and yeah, that's major, major change. Um, no, I don't think there's anything more to worry about. Your node is in Aquarius at 17 degrees. Well, let me just say this, I think you're looking at Western astrology. Yes, Rahu is in Aquarius right now, but I'm not sure if you're talking about Pluto being in Aquarius because it's in Capricorn, but I'll get you on the way back around. All right, I don't know what Blue Beam is. Project Blue Beam, what is that? Is that something to do with aliens. I don't know, you have to let me know about this. Okay, your ascendant is 23 degrees of Taurus. Does that count as a fixed star? Absolutely, because, um, 23 degrees of Taurus is, uh, Rigel, and it deals with money. So you're very lucky. Tammy, I don't know anything about you in terms of astrology. I'm an astrologer, not a psychic. Okay, um, what does Midhaven, Gandanta, 28 Scorpio mean in JSTAA? Well, number one, I've got news for you because, um, there's some planets that are going to be— that the The full moon is going to be there on the 31st, so I think that's going to represent, um, a lot of things being revealed about career and work and a new beginning. Yes. Okay. Are we in the Age of Aquarius or not? I'm confused about something I heard you say once. Yes, we are not in the Age of Aquarius. So many astrologers will say this. But I am a sidereal astrologer, and the Age of Aquarius is based on where the beginning point of the zodiac goes into Aquarius, and we are about 430 years away. Maybe it's 3. Anyway, it's, uh, let me see, we are going to be in the Age of Aquarius. Let me get my little calculator out here. Because 6 times 72 years equals— yeah, 432 years. Because each degree— I have to take my whole course here— but each degree that this reference point of the zodiac according to precession of the equinoxes, this is what determines what age we're in. And we, we're at the point now where it— the beginning of the zodiac sidereally is 6 degrees of Pisces. Now the nodes travel backwards, or the stars travel backwards, okay? So they move backwards 1 degree every 72 years. So 6 times 72 equals 432 years. That's when we go into the Age of Aquarius. Now we aren't leaving the Kali Yuga, and this is more along the Indian lines of calculation, and that's why things are changing and getting better, believe it or not. Yes, so a lot of people, Western astrologers, say we're in the Age of Aquarius, and they are not basing it on any factual calculation, and it is based on precession. I just gave you the factual calculation. Okay, how do you see a younger sibling's success in? What you can do— probably don't know, uh, enough to do this— but you can look at your chart and make the 3rd house the 1st house and read it as though it were their chart. Um, you were born January 11th. 2007. I need, I need more information, something more specific. Uranus-Pluto in the 12th house. Well, you know, you're probably a baby boomer because, or a little after, born in the— you're born in the '60s if you have that. And the 12th house can deal with spirituality and secrets. Okay, so you have a Leo Moon who had a rough couple of years. Any relief coming up? I started my Moon Dasha in October, by the way. Okay, so here's the deal with the Leo Moon. Jupiter's going to go into Leo pretty soon. The first go-round will be November this year through January. You'll get a little glimpse as to what's to come. And yes, you're going to get great relief. Okay, guys, I am not going to be calculating an entire chart here with your birth date and time. I have to put it through a computer programmer. Uh, I don't think there's anybody in the world that can calculate a chart in one second in their mind. All right, here. Y'all are too much. So give me something that I can calculate in my chart. Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding that happened last weekend. I'll tell you what I do know. I glanced at the family's charts and another video is coming out about that. Donald Trump Jr. has a Gemini ascendant or a Sagittarius ascendant. I can't remember which one, but essentially what I noticed is transiting Jupiter is aspecting his marriage house, and that's why he just got married. Okay, that's what I did know. Pisces ascendant and Moon in Scorpio. Venus 8 when in relationship coming up. Okay, Pisces ascendant and Moon in Scorpio. You, you've got, uh, the Moon is in the 9th house. Very, very nice. When Jupiter goes into Cancer, um, it's going to be aspecting your 9th and your 1st. It's not necessarily so much about marriage or relationships but I'll tell you, you will be doing a lot of traveling and/or learning new things, taking up new courses and learning things, and especially your interest in spirituality will increase. How do you judge a person's wealth? Okay, I'll get beauty and relationships from Saint Venus when it's possible. They haven't got all together even 4th and 9th house lords for Capricorn. I— all right, that one's— what do you mean got it all together and even 4th? I guess you meant they were all conjunct. I'll get you back around. All right, so, so what are the transits to natal chart that indicate arrest or indictment will happen to the native? Saturn going, uh, Rahu. Okay, I would look at the 6th and the 12th house because the 6th house is lawsuits, the 12th house is imprisonment and endings. But, uh, from what you— from the vantage point, that's what the first thing I would look for. Okay, Jupiter and Ketu entering my 10th house this year. Yeah, what can I expect? Jupiter is going to be— well, I, I'm sure it's probably in Leo, okay, because that's going to be November to January. That's actually a good thing. There will be a change, a positive change in career and advancement, because Jupiter— and here's another thing you may not know— Mars is going to be there too. And so Mars in the 10th will usually enhance, um, uh, career opportunities. Mars does well in the 10th house. Okay, yes, um, job opportunity with Libra ascendant and Ketu in the 9th. Okay, Libra ascendant, Ketu is in the 9th, which means it's in Gemini. Um, well, Jupiter's about to— this, this past year could have been pretty good for you in terms of travels and new learning. What can you expect? Jupiter is going to go into your 10th for Libra ascendant. You can expect lots of opportunities with work and career. Okay, got it. Yes. All right, that's for S. Rogers. Um, when you have Jupiter and Venus on your ascendant in Gemini in your first house, well, are you talking about the transits? Because that is exactly what you have right now, and that is a very good thing. As a matter of fact, the last few days of this month, the 29th, 30th, and 31st. Mercury and Venus and Jupiter will all be there, and you're going to feel confident. You're going to feel there's lots of opportunities, and most of all, you're going to feel like physically you're feeling good and looking good. All right. Okay, anything regarding Cancer? Um, yes, uh, Nina, you Cancer, Jupiter's going into Cancer. This is the time that things are going to perk up and start happening for you. Not only that, Mars is going to go there at some point. It's going to be a lot going on. You've got a very busy year. Okay, let's see. Oh my gosh. Okay, let me see. Some of these are too complicated. Okay, so you got Rahu in the 1st and Ketu in the 7th house. And let me— just from that, I'm going to tell you that, um, You know, relationships— your, your life has a certain fate and destiny. It will go a certain direction, uh, regardless of what your plans are. And relationships are something you've got to work on because Ketu is in your 7th house. But I'd say this: you've learned some great lessons through relationships, and now you know that your partner must be more on a spiritual level. Okay, Rahu in the 5th house natal, uh, Lauren. Rahu in the 5th house, don't stress or obsess about things because it's true that when somebody has Rahu there, because it's the mind, uh, you stress and you worry way too much about things. And if you have children, you are over the top worried about them all the time. You can't help it, but I'll give you this: it gives you a great deal of intelligence and focus. It's just that you worry too much. That's what I'll say. There's no such thing as a cusp in Vedic astrology. There, you know, in Western, they have— if you're close to the end or the beginning of a sign you know, you're on a cusp. In Vedic astrology, you're, you're either one sign or the other. If your planet or your ascendant's at 29 degrees, whatever that sign is, that is what you are. It's not that you're both. That's what Western thinks. So you're one or the other. It's either 29 or 0 degrees in your whatever sign it's in. Okay, Rahu in the 8th house in Aries natal. So if Rahu is in the 8th house then that's— you've got Mars right now, I believe, what you said. I followed that correctly. Mars is about to cross over it, and Mars will activate something from the past and something deeply psychological that you've got to be looking at because, um, yeah, because that means, um Transiting Mars is about to cross over it and it will activate it. What does Mars on the ascendant mean for Leo? Um, you, you are constantly thinking about what you need to be doing. You never sit still. Uh, you will always be doing something. Okay, Cancer ascendant, Libra moon. Cancer ascendant Libra Moon. Your Moon's in the 4th house, and I'll say this, um, well, with Libra being your 4th house, this means that, well, right now Jupiter's been aspecting it. You might have just had, uh, an occasion where there was a move or changing something up in your home, dealing with your family, but Mars has been aspecting it lately, so You might be renovating, doing something to your home, but when Jupiter comes into your first house, you've got it made. There's going to be a lot of good things happening for you, which is starting June 1st through October 31st. Okay. All right. The Scorpio Moon in the third house navel. So you've got a Scorpio Moon, you probably got jealous siblings. And, um, with the Virgo rising right now, it hadn't been easy. Um, you're incredibly passionate and about everything that you learn, and you are a lover of travel and learning. But be careful if you have siblings. All right, Scorpio ascendant. Moon. Yeah, I keep— that, that's way too much information. Focus on something. Why are dashas so important? Dashas deal with the big picture of your life. They deal with the trends, the cycles of your life, but the transits are going to dictate what's actually going on on, you know, specifically. But the dasha is the grand cycle when your life is due to change. Whenever you change from one dasha to the next, your entire life will change because then you're looking through a lens of a different planet. So when you're in a dasha, that planet of the dasha, the dasha lord— so let's say you're in Jupiter's mahadasha, then wherever Jupiter's placed in your chart, the house and everything will come alive, and it's almost like it activates that planet. Okay, Jupiter in Darakaraka. So Jupiter's Darakaraka Mars, both debilitated opposing each other in the Navamsa. Whenever you go into a Jupiter or Mars dasha, Either any— either of those, it will always have something to do with relationships. And if you go into Jupiter-Mars, it could be a breakup. If you go into Mars-Jupiter, it could be coming together with someone in a relationship. What are careers for Saturn in Jyotish in the 5th house? Well, the 5th house can deal with many, many things, and one of the things it does deal with is creativity, talent, And investing. A lot of people get into investing, and one way or another, you will be sought out as an advisor in some way. People seek your advice when you have important planets in the 5th house, and it's actually the house of astrology too. Okay, you want to know more about Parivartana Yoga. Parivartana Yoga is, for those of you that don't know, when you have two planets that are in each other's sign of rulership. So if you have Saturn in, let's say Saturn is in Aquarius and wait, no, you have the Sun in Aquarius and anyway, let me make this easier. When you have Mercury in Taurus or Venus in Gemini, that would be a parivartana. Yoga because Venus rules— Mercury is in Venus's sign and Venus is in Mercury's sign. What it means is it activates and connects those two planets. So it's not always fantastic. A lot of people think it's only good because if it's connecting difficult houses, such as let's say you have that Venus-Mercury, one is in the 8th and one is in the 7th, then it's going to be connecting the 8th house, 7th house scenario, which is difficulty in relationships. But it does pretty much— just remember this— make it like those planets are in the other sign. So in the example I gave, it's like Mercury's in Gemini and Venus is in Taurus, which is lovely because they're in their signs of rulerships, so it empowers those planets to give more auspicious results with that, with that in mind. Um, okay, you love your parivartana between Libra and Virgo. So yeah, you've got the Mercury-Venus one, which is really good, by the way. Okay, because Venus in Virgo is debilitated so it kind of takes that debilitation off the burner. Okay, all right, so 10th and 11th, I don't know what you want to know about those, but let me tell you something about the 10th. When you have planets in the 11th, it is the 2nd house from the 10th, and it will mean you have a lot of friends from work as well as you make a lot of money from your career because it's the 2nd from the 10th. The 11th house is the money you make from work, and it's also the friends that you at work. Okay, talk about pink stuff. I have no idea what that is. All right. And Saturn and Jupiter conjunct in the 9th house. Actually, that's fantastic because, uh, the 9th house is the house of higher learning, and, um, there's a great interest in truth and spirituality. Might be a little difficult around an area with the father because Saturn's there, and Jupiter can sometimes be too much energy in the 9th house. So Uranus and Neptune in Scorpio in your 5th house. So if your Moon's in Libra, then that means those planets are in your 2nd house, and that means, uh, unusual ways of making a living. I mean, second from the Moon is what I meant by that. and that money will come suddenly and unexpectedly through unusual means for you. Okay, and nice to see you from Geneva, beautiful place. And Leo rising, things are about to shift for Leo rising. A lot of things for Leo rising, once Jupiter goes into Cancer, there's going to be a lot happening. Uh, people from the past will show up, things from the past will show up. Healings about issues and things from the past will happen. But the most important thing for you to remember is with that, there's going to be, um, when Jupiter goes into Leo, things are going to change quite rapidly for you starting next year. Okay, you have Jupiter and Mercury. I, I think you said in Cancer that it disappeared. Sorry. All right, malefic and upachaya noises are great. Yes, malefics and upachayas are good. They make you overcome obstacles, and over time you improve and get better, especially the 11th house is the most powerful one to have them in. Okay, Jupiter in Gemini in the 4th house. Jupiter in Gemini in the 4th house, well, let me just say Have you moved, or is there any changes that have just happened with your home, dealing with your family, your sense of security? Things should have gotten better, but Jupiter's about to change. So Jupiter for you is going to go into your 5th house, which means it's going to— you're going to be more creative, more, um, more— if you want to have children, that will be a focus. Jupiter and Mercury in Cancer, well, you know, Jupiter return, Jupiter's going to be hitting your Mercury, and this is all positive. I'm really looking forward to this. Why? I'll tell you why, because Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, and for those that have a Cancer ascendant, which I've seen a lot of you fly by talking about that, not only is Jupiter going to be there, but so is Mercury and Venus, from June, let's see, 21st to July 4th. All 3 benefic planets are there. It's a Saraswati yoga, and really, if you know your chart and you know what house Cancer sits in, this is going to be spectacular for everyone. Why? Because this is a very rare yoga. Yes, Jupiter can come together with Mercury and Venus many times, but not in the sign of Cancer without any other planets involved. You know, they can come together, Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus, but the Sun's there, and usually it is because the Sun's never that far from Mercury and Venus. But this is a clean, pure Saraswati yoga. No Sun, no Mars, no Rahu. It's pure, and amazing things are going to happen. Okay, Jupiter in Gemini, I think I answered you. In the 4th house. Well, yeah, and let me just say, there's something about real estate and property that has transpired over the past year. You have Jupiter in Cancer in your 9th house. Yes, Jupiter in Cancer in the 9th house. So you're going to also have Venus and Mercury there. The dates that I just called out, the 21st of June till July 4th. And you should be traveling, you should have some new learning, spirituality will become important. You're in luck, that is the house of luck and fortune. Okay. Do you follow the moon or the ascendant? Both. You have to do both. Chandra Lagna, Moon is the Ascendant, and the Ascendant. One does not discount the other. It gives you more information, and I would never read a chart without looking at both planets transiting from the Ascendant and the Moon. I know it seems complicated, but it's not. Remember, the Moon is how you feel about things, and that is really, really, really important, and it does create events. The Ascendant is simply your environment, what's happening to you. I wouldn't ever read a chart without using the Moon as the Ascendant along with the Ascendant. So which one's more important? One is not more important than the other. They're equal, okay? That's why I say in all my videos, look at these transits from the Moon as the Ascendant as well as the Ascendant, okay? Um, let's see. Okay, for Saraswati Yoga, May 29th, how is it for Gemini? Yeah, um, that Saraswati Yoga lasts for 3 days in Gemini because, because June 1st Jupiter leaves Gemini. But for those 3 days, it's pretty spectacular for— I think you said you had a Gemini ascendant. I mean This is going to be something really positive and optimistic is going to hit and enlighten you. This is very positive. I'm looking forward to it. Okay, let's see. I didn't get that. Um, should you move into senior living? I didn't get all those planets. Let's see. Cancer ascendant, Scorpio moon, Venus dasha. The 12th house would deal with moving into a senior living arrangement. So if you have benefics going into the 12th, the answer is you will really enjoy it. So, all right, let's see. All right. Um, let me see some of these. I think you're typing so fast you're misspelling words and they're fun and it's funny. Um, 'Bergo' instead of Virgo. But, uh, can we look at transits from the Navamsha? I'm 42 and not married. Actually, it's better to look at the Dasha Lords in the Navamsha if you have your Dasha Lord in the 7th or in the first, that can predict marriage, or ruling the seventh or the first. But there is a way to look at transits in the Navamsha, but I doubt you're going to want to do this. You can take the transiting planets and convert them into their Navamsha degrees, then put them into the Navamsha. I feel like that's more accurate, but some astrologers do use the transits in the Navamsha, but I have found that it is— it doesn't work all the time. Sometimes it does, but not all the time. Okay, Moon and Ascendant in Aquarius with, um, with Sun in Scorpio. So wow, you've got the Sun in the 10th house. You should have your own career— I mean, your own business— with the Sun in the 10th in Scorpio. No one should be telling you what to do. And there's going to be a full moon on the 31st that will activate your 10th house. Something will present itself, or there will be like a realization about your working career that is very positive. Okay. How do you see ADHD in a chart? That's a tough one because this deals with so many variables, especially mental. Mars deals with activity, and a lot of times Mars-Rahu could deal with that, but I'd have to see the whole chart. You know, it's, it's, that's a tough one. But yeah, okay. Okay, it's a Leo. Yes, a classy— there you go, I'm blowing you a kiss. That's sweet. Okay, you read your D9 chart like a birth chart and it was scary. I'm sure you're not doing everything correctly. It's not that scary, but I will say this: the D9 is the potential of what we can develop into. If you don't like then through conscious awareness you can change it. So, but I'm sure there's a lot of positive things in the D9 chart that you're missing out because you wouldn't be here right now, because people that are here right now are all about higher consciousness, and that's beautiful and a good thing. Okay, um, you have a Pisces Moon at 1 degree, which means when Jupiter goes into Cancer. I know I'm making it all about Jupiter in Cancer, but it's going to trine your Moon, and those trinal aspects are the most powerful. Okay, Scorpio ascendant and Aquarius Moon. Scorpio ascendant and Aquarius Moon. Well, you know, have you moved or thinking about moving? Because Rahu is in your 4th house and Ketu's transiting your 10th house. So I'm getting that there's something about career changes. You're not feeling a fulfillment in your work or, uh, feeling purposeful in your work. You need to find work that makes you feel a sense of purpose. This will give you back meaning in life. And probably before Rahu and Ketu change, which will be in November, you'll find that And maybe because of position work, you might be wanting to change where you move. Something about your home, your family's changing as well. Okay, ah, let's see. Okay, so showing the difference between sidereal and Western charts, um So I don't get that you're showing charts of people in countries. Um, you know, I was a Western astrologer for 20 years. Yes, it works because the transits are the same. The transits will be hitting all of your natal planets just the same, but the signs are different. And what I find, why I completely shifted over to Vedic, was the planets that rule the houses— if you're able to follow me with this, understand me, uh, because the signs change, you will have entirely different planets ruling the houses. And as the transits aspect your natal planets in a chart, those planets, in terms of what houses they rule, are activated as well. I always tell my students that A planet in a house is a tenant, but the planet that rules the house is the landlord. It's very important. So in other words, the landlords will be different when a transit hits a natal planet. Those landlords are activated, and they're different when you use the sidereal Vedic chart, and I find they're much, much more accurate. That's why I shifted. One of the main reasons, if you could follow me with that, that is what astrologically I shifted, why I shifted, one of the reasons why I shifted. Okay, what I mean, you often say signs are different, etc., but some people don't understand this because they need an actual visual. Yes, that's why, you know, astrology is a science, and for me just to be talking about this is hard to understand without a visual. But that's what I do in my university. I have explicit visuals. And if you, if you want, my book Eastern Astrology for Western Minds explains all of this. With visuals. I can't do this right now in a matter of seconds while I'm going through all, all this. I wish I could, but I can't, uh, I can't do it with visuals here right now. Okay, all right, so your rising is the same in Vedic and Western, then that means that your ascendant in Western is the last 6 degrees of the sign. Be— and in Vedic, it's going to be the first 6 degrees of a sign. Why is that? Because the whole zodiac is shifted backwards. This is from the Western— from your Western chart, it shifts backwards 24 degrees. So in other words, if any of your planets are in the last 6 degrees of a sign in your Western chart, then it will be in the early degrees in the Vedic. Otherwise, your signs shift backwards. So here is a rule of thumb. Some of you will get this, some of you will not. Listen, if you know your Western chart, you just remember if any of your planets are between 0 and 24 24 degrees, then you can just take it backwards a sign. Your Vedic chart will be backwards a sign. But if your planets are the last 6 degrees of a sign, then you will just add 7 and go back a sign— I mean, and stay the same sign. Okay. All right. So let's see what else. When Jupiter conjoins, uh, can't— it is in Cancer and joins Ketu, will it cancel like the— but no, it will not, because here is another rule in Vedic astrology, and I find it to work beautifully. Whenever a benefic— which, what are the benefics in Vedic astrology? Mercury, Venus, or Jupiter— are conjunct Ketu and they're in a powerful sign, either rulership or exalted, It produces really good things. I have seen people with this in their birth chart and it is amazing. So I'm expecting this to produce really good things. I think there's going to be a spiritual awakening on planet Earth, especially with all the alien stuff that's about to be exposed. That's one of the reasons. And just because of that, there's going to be an elevation of awareness and consciousness. You'll see. And Jupiter will be with Cancer, in, in Cancer with Ketu. That won't take place till 2027, early part of 2027, when Jupiter goes back into Cancer and, uh, Ketu is in Cancer. That will be like around the end of January through June of 2027. Okay. How do you see unrequited love in a chart? Boy, that's— there's a lot of things, a lot, a lot of things. I'll tell you a few of them. Pluto aspecting Venus, Venus being combust the Sun, The ruler of the 7th being in the 8th, the ruler of the 8th being in the 7th. If you followed all that, those are some of the things that can cause— and Mars aspecting the 7th house, kuja dosha. All of those variables can add to difficulties and lessons that you learn through relationships. Okay, uh, do I use the equal house system or the whole house system, uh, Merrilee? The equal house system actually is the whole house system. When you have the whole sign to a house, that this is also the equal house. So when in my program, I choose Lahiri sidereal whole house, and I believe it says equal house, but if you just do Whole House, that's— I'm pretty sure in the programs it'll be the same thing. Okay. Does the planner work if you don't have a birth time? You know what I'm thinking? Try to get a birth time, Ivanka. And the way that you can do that is request your birth certificate and request the original with the time on it. Now, if that doesn't work, I would use noon. Why? Because your moon will probably be— the moon is usually in the same sign the whole day. That is the best I can do for you if you absolutely cannot get a birth time. Okay. Do I believe that Jupiter and Mars together in Cancer will cancel Mars' debilitation in Cancer? Somewhat, yes. I do, because Jupiter is so powerful there and it's next to Mars, so that's a good thing. But still, I always believe that a debilitation sign is never completely canceled, so, uh, but Jupiter there makes it better. Okay, okay. So, and Mars is in its debilitation sign. It's not its fall because the fall is the opposite, uh, of the sign of rulership. That's actually a Western concept, okay, the fall of a planet. We just look at the exaltations and debilitations. Okay, who is Amal Clooney's chart? Her life is so perfect. I don't know who she is, but nobody's life's perfect. Yeah, anyway, um, yeah, maybe they're going through a perfect time period, but you know, we all get sick, we all die, we lose people we love. Nobody's life's ever perfect, but Um, yeah, your first Saturn return in Pisces in your 10th house. You know, I want to make this clear, Saturn return is not a bad thing. So many people get it mixed up with sari sati, and I just think Saturn return is when you grow up. It's like people are different in their 30s than people in their 20s, and I think it's a good thing. It means maturity, it means taking responsibility, and if it's in your 10th house, that involves issues around your work that you have to become more responsible, and you will have more responsibilities, but it equates to a good thing, a work— good work ethic, and more. And Saturn gives rewards when you work hard. Okay, you have a stellium in Cancer, Mars, Jupiter, and Mercury. So, Gabby, you're going to have a very, very busy year because not only is Jupiter going to be in Cancer, but Mars and Ketu. So depending on what house they're in, that's going to be the area of your life that's going to really change. Okay. Oh, she's George Clooney's wife. All right. So, Yeah, I don't know. Being married to any movie star is not an easy life. Why? Because they work so much, they're gone a lot. And, you know, I just, you know, that movie stars have the most likelihood of divorce and separation because they work too much. Just like a rock star, how many of them stay married? They're on the road all the time. So anyway, that's my opinion with that. Okay, um, let's see. Gemini ascendant, Sun and Mercury in the 8th. What does this mean? Well, you're pretty smart. Mercury being in the 8th house and the Sun in the 8th house, you're all about research, analysis. And also, this can be very scientific-minded, the 8th house. And I know one thing, you love psychology and anything to do with of getting to the root, the cause, the bottom of things, but psychological analysis and metaphysics. Okay. Is there any indication of living abroad in astrology? Absolutely. Um, many times when people have the ruler of the 4th house, which is your home, in the 12th house, which is foreign places, people can move abroad. And vice versa, if you have the ruler of the 12th house, foreign lands and countries, in the 4th house. This can mean moving abroad. And of course, you've got to look at that chart from the Moon as the ascendant as well. Okay, okay, Mercury, Sun, Pluto, and Uranus in the 9th house. So, uh, you must be born around the '60s if you have Uranus, uh, with, uh, with Pluto. But Mercury, Sun in the 9th house, there's a love of travel. There is, uh, but I gotta say this, with them all being in Virgo, help, that is a tough period. You've just got out of a really tough period when Mars cycled through there. But yeah, now it's going to be better. And the good news is Jupiter's going to be aspecting it when it goes into Cancer. And once again, that's June 1st through October 31st. You've got a much better year ahead, much better. Things are going to change. Okay, Uranus in Scorpio retrograde in the 9th house. Jupiter and Uranus, wow, that you're lucky, that you will have bouts of sudden luck and fortune, and it may even come through, uh, well, your search for spirituality higher learning, love of travel, maybe some instances with things with your father as well. Okay, all right, so, um, you, um, Taurus— I didn't get that. Okay, Taurus ascendant, Jupiter, Saturn, and moon in Aries. So Taurus ascendant then all those planets are in your 12th house. And, and I'll say this, when Jupiter does go into Leo for you, there's going to be a move, and you might even be looking at travels a lot to foreign places. We'll give you that. Okay, all right, Sagittarius, uh, hoping for You're gonna have a, uh, right now things are good, Sagittarius rising. Jupiter is going to be go— all those planets are going to go into your 8th house. Money's going to come to you through other people in some, in some realm. I don't know if it's like through your partner or through inheritance or a settlement, but you're going to be lucky with a large sum of money, money coming through other people in that through that. Venus in the 9th house is a beautiful placement for connections, usually with the father. I'd have to see the whole chart, but Venus in the 9th house is, um, a search for truth and a search for idealistic love and romance. Okay, what does Kritika, um, Where was that? Kritika Mars, that means, and Moon mean, well, I assume they're in Taurus, but it could be in Aries. With that, let me just say there is going to be, well, Kritika Mars is, you know, you are very, very protective. That is one thing I know about Kritika. Kritika takes care of people, and Kritika gets right to the point and right to the matter. No nonsense about you. Okay. How many years are in houses? No, it's how many years planets are in signs. The houses are just contained, uh, with signs. So Jupiter, for example, is in a sign for a year, therefore it would be in a house for a year approximately. But Mercury, Venus, and the Sun are in a sign for a month, so they're in a house for month— for a month. And Saturn would be in a house or a sign because the signs equate to the houses for 2.5 years. So each planet is in a sign for a certain amount of time, and that determines how long it's in a house. Okay. All right. Let me see. Jupiter in Pushya and, and Rahu in Aslesha. So let me see. So Jupiter— well, you know, your Rahu is in the 8th from your Jupiter, and that doesn't really speak to me about living abroad at all. I'd have to look at the 12th house and the 4th house in this, uh, in this case. Okay. 'How does Ketu work in Capricorn? So behave in Capricorn.' So Ketu, I don't know if this is your birth chart because Rahu is in— it's about to be in Capricorn. So if you have, I don't know if you've got them reversed, but what you are, if, if that is your natal positions, then this means that what's about to happen when Rahu and Ketu shift into, uh, Cancer— Capricorn— Ketu in Cancer and Rahu in Capricorn, this will be mid-November. They will be there for a year and a half. You will have a nodal inversion if this is what you're talking about, which means you're coming to a big change in a crossroads in your life. Many things are going to shift. Okay, thank you, Michelle. You're sweet. Okay, so if your moon is in Libra, you know what you really got to look for, because it's really hard. You can't get your birth time. Here is what I'm going to tell you. Don't worry about your moon. If you have an astrological— you probably don't— but a program of some sort, and you can figure out when Jupiter, Venus, or Mercury are on the Ascendant, here's what I'm going to tell you. Every 24 hours, the Ascendant sign— for 2 hours, the Ascendant sign lasts on the eastern horizon. So the Ascendant is the eastern horizon from where we are on, on Earth, and the entire zodiac will go through all 12 signs on the eastern horizon in a 24-hour period. So each sign is there on the Ascendant for 2 hours. And of course, when you're talking about a birth chart, that, that determines what sign is rising at your time of birth on the eastern horizon. So what I'm trying to tell you to do— this may be way too complicated, but this is what I do when I'm trying to pick a good time to do something— I make sure that Jupiter or Venus are on the Ascendant rising. And it will happen each day, but, uh, Jupiter and Venus will rise on the Ascendant with it at some point in a 24-hour period. and I choose that time to do special events, such as one of the most important times that I choose is when I'm going on a trip. I make sure when I leave the house, either Jupiter or Venus are rising on the eastern horizon when I walk out the door. Okay. Do Vedic or sidereal use phases of the moon? Or west— is that a Western concept? No, I use it. Why? Because I was a Western astrologer for 20 years, and when we talk about a bright or dark moon, we're talking about the phase of the moon. A bright moon is a full moon, a dark moon is a new moon. And I always look at also— there's something called the tithis of the moon in Vedic, and that is each and every day with the relationship between the Sun and the Moon. And each tithi— there is half of the tithi, there's actually 30 if you include the full and the new moon tithis. And each the half, the 2 weeks where the Moon is increasing in light, which is waxing, is more auspicious than when the Moon is waning and it's decreasing in light. Okay, so that is how this works with the, the moon's phases are very important. We just kind of look at them with different names and associations, but they're the same. Okay, I have got— it is 11:01. I'm going to take one more question. Uh, let's see. I've already answered about the, um, living abroad. It's when the ruler of the 12th is in the 4th, or the ruler of the 4th is in the 12th. What was your transition into Vedic astrology like, and was Western astrology like hitting a wall? Yes, I will give you that. You know, I love this question because When I discovered that the Vedic chart— I used— here's how, when I first started converting, I used to have a Western chart and I have a Vedic chart when I would do readings, and it was a lot of trouble. I would go back and forth, and then I started understanding that the rulerships of the houses in the Vedic worked and they didn't in the Western, and it just made me appreciate the, uh, the beauty of the house rulers and the fact that they don't use the outer planets as rulers of the signs. Yes, I use the outer planets, especially when they're conjunct your natal planets, but not as house rulers. It throws the whole semis— uh, perfect perfection of the house rulers off. And the Vedic I have to take into account these are truly where the planets are in the heavens. It's— they, uh, sidereal is off. And here's one more thing that I can't go along with in, in Western tropical astrology: the fact that they are looking at the fixed stars being in different constellations than they're supposed to be. Such as tropical astrologers think that the star Regulus, which is the heart of the lion, is in Virgo. That's impossible. So what I'm trying to say is Vedic astrology is true to the stars. You cannot have Aldebaran, the eye of the bull, in Gemini, nor can you have Antares, the heart of the Scorpion, in Sagittarius. So with Vedic astrology, there is the movement of the stars, and it is true to the stars. So these particular stars that represent their constellations and what they mean will always be in those constellations because the stars are moving together, uh, and they do not change. These stars represent those constellations. And yes, I know there's many, many, many constellations constellations. But these are the astrological constellations. No, there is not a 13th constellation. The ancient seers of Vedic astrology, the rishis, gave us this gift of astrology thousands of years ago, and the system works. And when you apply it truly to a chart, all of this gift that they granted and gave us It works, and it is the most predictive, it is the most accurate. And I believe I can say that because I actually practiced sincerely for 20 years Western astrology, and I've been doing Vedic for longer. It's the people that go around badmouthing Vedic astrology that maybe studied it for a month and think they know it. Like what I'm saying. After a month's time, I was totally confused, and I kept thinking, yeah, but this can't be right in Vedic because it's this in Western. I would argue the points over and over again till I finally surrendered and said, listen, I'm going to go delve into Vedic wholeheartedly, do the Vedic completely without arguing. Well, if it's exalted in the sign, how can it be? Because that sign is not a friend. I argued with all of it. And there's nothing worse than trying to teach Vedic astrology to Western astrologers, which I do at all the conferences, the big Western conferences that I'm, um, I'm teaching at, which by the way, I'll be at UAC in September. But in the audience, the Western astrologers say, yeah, but in Western it's this way. They argue the point instead of trying to understand They are two separate systems. Learn Vedic. Do not try to make Vedic into Western. That's what people do, and that's where the screw-up happens. And that is why people that say, "Oh, I've looked at Vedic, I, you know, and it doesn't work." No, you never really surrendered and worked the system the way you should completely. And that means surrender. It means not arguing the points. And that's, that's the mess-up. And, you know, I have a lot of people in my school, in my university, that do exactly that. They'll sit there and try to make Vedic into the Western system. It's two systems. You can't do that, guys. You— and I do see some validity, I will give you that, of the, of the tropical Western system in terms of sun signs. Why? Because it's completely based on the cycle of the suns and the seasons. Therefore, that is why your sun sign pretty much makes sense in the Western chart, but the whole system of Vedic astrology works better in terms of specifics and prediction. I have never been able to be more detailed and more specific with a reading in tropical Western as I can with sidereal Vedic. So I'm going to leave you guys with that. I'll see you next week. I'll be ready to answer more questions for you, and I hope you got something out of today's class. Thank you for being here.
